1. The biovolume-specific carbon content, relative egg volume (a measure of per-offspring reproductive investment), growth and grazing rates, and the gross growth efficiency (GGE) of the rotifer Cephalodella hoodi, isolated from an extremely acidic habitat (pH 2.65), were determined and compared with literature values for rotifers living in circum-neutral habitats in order to reveal potential special features or adaptations related to the extreme habitat of C. hoodi. 2. Of the two dominant phytoflagellates (Ochromonas sp. and Chlamydomonas acidophila) that occur in the natural habitat of C. hoodi, only C. acidophila promoted positive growth and reproduction and, thus, the following results were obtained with C. acidophila as a food alga. 3. The body volume-specific carbon content of C. hoodi is in the range of that found in rotifers from circum-neutral lakes, suggesting that no costly carbon investment, brought about by the thickening of the lorica, for example, was required to withstand low pH. 4. The egg volume of C. hoodi exhibited no phenotypic plasticity dependent on the food concentration and, thus, C. hoodi allocated a constant, absolute amount of energy to each individual offspring. No adaptation to low food densities was found. 5. A dome-shaped type II functional response curve was found to describe the ingestion of Chlamydomonas as a source of food. 6. Compared with other rotifers, C. hoodi had a high threshold and half-saturating food concentration (=low affinity) but also a high maximum growth rate and a relatively high GGE, suggesting no severe adverse effect of low pH
Animals depend on a large set of essential compounds in their food. A reduced supply of specific lipid compounds has been shown to be critical for growth, reproduction and survival of aquatic molluscs and might also be critical for terrestrial gastropods. The effects were investigated of different fatty acid and cholesterol supplies on the growth, reproduction, and survival of the land snail Arianta arbustorum. Surprisingly, differences in diet did not affect shell growth, time to reach adulthood, and reproductive traits such as the number of eggs, dry mass and volume of spermatophores. However, snails reared on low cholesterol diets and low polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) diets decreased their consumption rates and had a higher mortality. Snails fed a PUFA-rich diet showed higher mating activity than snails fed a diet deficient in PUFAs. A depletion of internal PUFA reserves may affect the regulation of mating behaviour because PUFAs play an important role as precursors for signal-transduction involved in the regulation of mating and reproduction. In contrast, when the diets were deficient in cholesterol, mating activity was not affected
Myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) is a human disease that is characterized by focal myofibrillar destruction and pathological cytoplasmic protein aggregations. In an extended German pedigree with a novel form of MFM characterized by clinical features of a limb-girdle myopathy and morphological features of MFM, we identified a cosegregating, heterozygous nonsense mutation (8130G -> A; W2710X) in the filamin c gene ( FLNC) on chromosome 7q32.1. The mutation is the first found in FLNC and is localized in the dimerization domain of filamin c. Functional studies showed that, in the truncated mutant protein, this domain has a disturbed secondary structure that leads to the inability to dimerize properly. As a consequence of this malfunction, the muscle fibers of our patients display massive cytoplasmic aggregates containing filamin c and several Z-disk-associated and sarcolemmal proteins
Synthesis, characterisation and theoretical calculations of 2,6-diaminopurine etheno derivatives
(2005)
Four derivatives of 2,6-diaminopurine (1) were synthesised and characterised. When 1 was reacted with chloroacetaldehyde, 5-aminoimidazo[2,1- i] purine (2), 9-aminoimidazo[2,1-b]purine (3), 9-aminoimidazo[1,2- a]purine (4) and diimidazo[2,1-b: 2', 1'-i]purine (5) were formed. The purified products (3 - 5) were fully characterised by MS, complete NMR assignments as well as fluorescence and UV spectroscopy. The purified, isolated yields of these products ( 3 - 5) varied from 2.5 to 30%. The relative stability of different tautomers was investigated by theoretical calculations. Fluorescence characteristics are also discussed and compared to the starting material 1 and a reference molecule 2-aminopurine
National conservation planning should operate with measures of biodiversity similar to those applied globally in order to harmonize national and international conservation strategies. Here we suggest quantitative measures which enable two criteria of the global biodiversity hotspots to be applied on a national level for 74 large countries, and show how these measures can be applied to map national biodiversity hotspots. The plant endemism criteria of global hotspots are captured by quantitative measures of endemism, which are approximately scale-independent and can be corrected to account for a country's environmental conditions and conservation priorities. The flexible land use criteria for national biodiversity hotspots are defined from percentage of natural vegetation remaining in the global hotspots. The minimum-area-required approach is applied to define the borders of national biodiversity hotspots using data on vascular plants species richness. We show how national biodiversity hotspots can be mapped from the species- energy relationship for vascular plants using climate, topographical and land use data when spatial pattern of species richness is not known. This methodology to map national biodiversity hotspots from abiotic factors is applied to Russia as a case study. Three Russian biodiversity hotspots, North Caucasus, South Siberia and Far East were identified. The resulting hotspot maps cover national-scale environmental gradients across Russia and although they are also identified by Russian experts their actual geographical locations were hitherto unspecified. The large-scale national hotspots, identified for Russia, can be used for further fine scale and more detailed conservation planning. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Functional groups with diverse responses to environmental factors sum to produce communities with less temporal variability in their biomass than those lacking this diversity. The detection of these compensatory dynamics can be complicated by a spatio-temporal alternation in the environmental factors limiting growth (both abiotic and biotic), which restricts the occurrence of compensatory dynamics to certain periods or locations. Hence, resolving the spatio- temporal scale may uncover important spatial and/or temporal components in community variability. Using long-term data from Lake Constance (Bodensee), we find that a reduction in grazing pressure and relaxed competition for nutrients during winter and spring generates coherent dynamics among edible and less edible phytoplankton. During summer and fall, when both grazing pressure and nutrient limitation are present, edible and less edible phytoplankton exhibit compensatory dynamics. This study supports recent work suggesting that both abiotic and biotic interactions promote compensatory dynamics and to our knowledge, this is the first example of a system where compensatory and coherent dynamics seasonally alternate.
The calculation of heritabilities and genetic correlations, which are necessary for predicting evolutionary responses, requires knowledge about the relatedness between individuals. This information is often not directly available, especially not for natural populations, but can be inferred by using molecular markers such as allozymes. Several methods based on inferred relatedness from marker data have been developed to estimate heritabilities and genetic correlations in natural populations. Most methods use maximum-likelihood procedures to assign pairs or groups of individuals to predefined discrete relatedness classes (e.g., half sibs and unrelated individuals). The Ritland method, on the other hand, uses method of moments estimators to estimate pairwise relatedness among individuals as continuous values. We tested both the Ritland method and a maximum-likelihood method by applying them to a greenhouse population consisting of seed families of the herb Mimulus guttatus and comparing the results to the ones from a frequently used standard method based on half-sib families. Estimates of genetic correlations were far from accurate, especially when we used the Ritland method. However, this study shows that even with a few variable allozyme loci, it is possible to get qualitatively good indications about the presence of heritable genetic variation from marker-based methods, even though both methods underestimated it
Testing for ecological and genetic Allee effects in the invasive shrub Senna didymobotrya (Fabaceae)
(2005)
For an introduced plant species to become invasive, it must be able to reproduce even in initially small populations We tested for Aliee effects (reduced reproductive performance of individuals in small populations) in the nonclonal, NW-pollinated shrub Senna didymobotrya in its invasive range in South Africa. The species is self-compatible. but we found that in its invasive range in South Africa it requires pollinators to set seed. Nearly all stigmas (90%) received pollen. but natural fruit set has very low (3-20%), Pollen receipt and fruit set were not significantly correlated with population size. We thus found no evidence for an ecological Alice effect arising from pollen limitation in small populations. Offspring seedling performance, measured in terms of stern volume and leaf area, was also not significantly correlated with the number of plants in the source population. indicating that genetic Alice effects, such as inbreeding depression, are either absent or of such a small magnitude that they would be unlikely to limit further spread of S. didymobotrya in South Africa
