壮岱侬花婆神话与中越文学交流态势

壮岱侬民族拥有同中有异的花婆神话。通过对它的分析,可以发现,中越文学的交流态势,实际上是建立在带有女性主义色彩的生态伦理缔结与交往的基础之上的。     

生态社会的召唤

人类发现自身陷入一种境地，在那里似乎没有真正意义的途径使我们从围绕自身的技术型企业中解脱出来，所以我们需要创造一个走向生态纪元的社会。很多社团近期已经热心于进入一个生态社会并在一些领域采取行动，这些领域便是新故事、生物区域主义以及生态特征。

《红豺》的生态伦理学解读

生态伦理学是在生态文化的学术背景下兴起的一门学科.文章试图从生态伦理学的学科角度来解读土家族作家李传锋的动物小说力作<红豺>,探讨和挖掘<红豺>中"尊重物种的生命,呼唤人与自然和谐相处"的生态伦理追求.     

居住环境与绿化设计

居住区环境设计是一门新兴的学科。其规划理论需要进一步提高和丰富。为了创造舒适、方便、安全、卫生、美观的居住区和提供生活、休息、娱乐的优美环境，居住区环境设计即成为综合性新学科。居住区绿化设计的目的是要保持和利用原有地形、地貌，形成丰富的空间，要因地制宜，随坡就势，运用造园手法，组织各有特色的住宅组团，形成生活方便、环境优美的居住新村。本文就居民区空间功能的划分、住宅庭院绿化的布置进行了阐述，同时对居民区绿化的树种选择进行了说明。     

生态环境内涵的回顾与思考

本文回顾了近20年来生态环境一词在社会上和国内外的使用情况，讨论了其科学内涵。认为生态环境是由生态关系组成的环境，是生命有机体赖以生存、发展、繁衍、进化的各种生态因子和生态关系的总和。文章还论述了生态建设的涵义及其在实施科学发展观、推进可持续发展中的重要作用。     

对生态美学的两点质疑

作为生态美学重要的哲学——美学原则的“生态中心主义”，潜藏着颠覆“人本位主义”的危险；而作为对自然进行所谓“生态学的重新审视”而提出的“自然的复魅”，也存在着容易导致另一个极端的不良趋势，并且缺乏可操作性。本文拟对上述观点提出质疑和批评。     

Using genetically-defined rodent strains for the identification of hippocampal traits relevant for two-way avoidance behavior: a non-invasive approach

Summary Genetically-defined rodent strains permit the identification of hippocampal traits which are of functional relevance for the performance of two-way avoidance behavior. This is exemplified here by analyzing the relationship between infrapyramidal mossy fibers (a tiny projection terminating upon the basal dendrites of hippocampal pyramidal neurons) and two-way avoidance learning in about 800 animals. The necessary steps include 1) identification of structural traits sensitive to selective breeding for extremes in two-way avoidance, 2) testing the robustness of the associations found by studying individual and genetical correlations between hippocampal traits and behavior, 3) establishing causal relationships by Mendelian crossing of strains with extreme structural traits and studying the behavioral consequences of such structural randomization, 4) confirming causal relationships by manipulating the structural variable in inbred (isogenic) strains, thereby eliminating the possibility of genetic linkage, and 5) ruling out the possibility of spurious associations by studying the correlations between the hippocampal trait and other behaviors known to depend on hippocampal functioning.In comparison with the classical lesion approach for identifying relationships between brain and behavior, the present procedure appears to be superior in two aspects: it is non-invasive, and it focuses automatically on those brain traits which are used by natural selection to shape behaviorally-defined animal populations, i.e., it reveals the natural regulators of behavior.     

Evolutionary and ecological implications of cardenolide sequestration in the monarch butterfly

Summary Monarch butterflies sequester cardenolides from their larval host plants in the milkweed genusAsclepias for use in defense against predation. Of 108Asclepias species in North America, monarchs are known to feed as larvae on 27. Research on 11 of these has shown that monarchs sequester cardenolides most effectively, to an asymptote of approximately 350 g/0.1 g dry butterfly, from plants with intermediate cardenolide contents rather than from those with very high or very low cardenolide contents. SinceAsclepias host plant species are distributed widely in space and time across the continent, monarchs exploit them by migration between breeding and overwintering areas. After overwintering in central Mexico, spring migrants east of the Rocky Mountains exploit three predominantAsclepias species in the southern USA that have moderately high cardenolide contents. Monarchs sequester cardenolides very effectively from these species. First generation butterflies are thus well protected against predators and continue the migration north. Across the northern USA and southern Canada most summer breeding occurs on a fourthAsclepias species and in autumn most of these monarchs migrate back to Mexican overwintering sites. The ecological implications of this cycle of cardenolide sequestration for the evolution of monarch migration are discussed.
