    Notizen: Abstract A method is presented to study dynamics of plants that cannot be separated into individuals such as many grassland, salt marsh and tundra species. A virtual population is created by using a permanent transect line through the vegetation and ‘individuals’ are defined as the branch segments distal to the intercept with the transect line. Addition and loss of ‘individuals’ together with growth or shrinkage form the basis for constructing a size-structured transition matrix. A discrete-event simulation demonstrates that: 1) a virtual population of individuals grows at the same rate as the parent population; and, 2) size-structured transition matrices for a virtual population and parent vegetation have similar dominant and subdominant eigenvalues so a virtual population can be used to describe the dynamics of a parent vegetation. Dwarf birch, Betula nana L., was studied in the northern foothills of the Brooks Range, Alaska, by using photography to record branch intercepts along permanent transect lines. The distal branch segments constitute a virtual population of the parent vegetation. Transects were photographed in 1985 and again in 1986 and changes of branch segments were used to construct two transition matrices for shrubs with and without elevated fertilizer treatment. Analysis of the virtual populations suggests that although Betula nana may show increased branch growth with increased fertilizer, in the long run this shrub may decline in the tundra in response to such treatment.

    Notizen: Summary An easy and rapid method of counting the number of cells in the preimplantation mouse embryo is described. The procedure increases the speed with which large numbers of embryos can be processed using a simple squash technique. Cell numbers are determined by exposing the embryos to the fluorescent DNA-binding dye, Hoechst 33258, removing the zona pellucida and simply squashing the embryo and counting the number of fluorescent nuclei. An increase in fluorescent intensity and maintenance of nuclear conformation of the squashed preparations are greatly improved by the use of the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100. Viability of dye-treated fertilized one-cell and blastocyst stage embryos is maintained at least up to day 13 of pregnancy following transfer of the embryos to the uteri of pseudopregnant recipients. Additional uses for this staining technique are discussed.

    Notizen: Abstract Evolutionary relationships across taxa can be deduced from sequence divergence of proteins, RNA, or DNA; sequences which diverge rapidly, such as those of mitochondrial genes, have been especially useful for comparisons of closely related species, and-within limits—of strains within a species. We have utilized the transposable element Tcl as a polymorphic marker to evaluate the evolutionary relationships among nine Caenorhabditis elegans strains. For five low-Tcl-copy strains, we compared patterns of restriction fragments hybridizing to a cloned Tc1 probe. Twenty of the 40 Tc1 insertion sites thus characterized were common to all five strains, and so presumably preceded strain divergence; the 20 differential bands were used to construct a maximum-parsimony tree relating these strains. In four high-copy-number stocks (three wild-type strains and a subline), we determined occupancy of 35 individual Tc1 insertion sites by a polymerase chain reaction assay. Surprisingly, the high-copy strains share a common subset of these Tc1 insertions, and the chromosomal distribution of conserved Tc 1 sites is “clustered” with respect to the other elements tested. These data imply a close evolutionary relationship among the high-copy strains, such that two of these strains appear to have been derived from the highest-copy-number lineage (represented by two stocks) through crossing with a low-Tc1 strain. Abundances of Tc1 elements were also estimated for the four high-copy-number stocks, at ∼200–500 copies per haploid genome, by quantitative dot-blot hybridization relative to two low-copy strains. Annealing with 32P-labeled probes corresponding to full-length Tc1, an oligonucleotide within the Tc1 terminal inverted repeats, and an internal Tc1 oligonucleotide, gave essentially identical results—indicating that Tc1 termini exist in the genome primarily as components of full-length Tc1 elements. A composite evolutionary tree is proposed, based on the locations and numbers of Tc1 elements in these strains, which is consistent with a four-branch intraspecific tree deduced previously by maximum-parsimony analyses of mitochondrial sequence changes; it also serves to elucidate the evolutionary history of transposon mobility.

    Notizen: Summary Lactate dehydrogenase activities were measured along two sinusoidal paths (1) between small portal tracts and central veins and (2) between regions of adjoining septal branches and central veins in the livers of male Wistar rats, using a Lowry technique. The established profiles of enzyme activity provide further support of functional heterogeneity of liver sinusoids and their abutting hepatocytes related to morphological differences of the sinusoidal bed. Within the hepatocytes a pronounced heterogeneity in enzyme activity was recorded surrounding small portal tracts and central veins. The lowest values of activity were determined in those cells located in close proximity to the vessels, which emphasizes their exceptional morphological and functional position.

    Notizen: Abstract Aquatic invertebrates are usually larger at maturity when water temperatures are lower. For the freshwater cladoceran Daphnia, it has been suggested that a threshold size must be attained to initiate maturation, which results two instars later in the deposition of eggs into the brood chamber. This threshold size is believed to temperature on maturation threshold body-length in Daphnia magna. Daphnids were raised from birth to maturity under three constant-temperature regimes (12°C, 16°C, 22°C), and two food-level conditions. Animals were measured daily, and a body-length based maturation threshold determined for each individual. We demonstrate that mean maturation threshold length is negatively correlated with ambient water temperature. Further, daphnids with a larger threshold length tended to be larger at maturity. A maturation threshold linked to body length suggests that reduced variation in size at maturity is adaptive, even at the cost of additional variation in instar number or age at maturity.

    Notizen: Abstract Invertebrate offspring are usually larger in colder environments. To test for possible effects of covariates (e.g. maternal phenotype and feeding conditions) on this pattern, we performed a laboratory experiment to look at the effect of temperature on newborn weight in the planktonic crustacean Daphnia magna. Three tempèratures (12°C, 16°C and 22°C) and two food levels (10,000 cells ml−1 and 150,000 cells ml−1) were used, and offspring were examined from the first five clutches of mothers that had been maintained under the constant experimental conditions for three generations. Preliminary analysis suggested that newborn weight was significantly affected by temperature although patterns in the data were not clear cut. In addition, the covariates mother weight and clutch size were positively and negatively correlated with newborn weight, respectively; and later clutches tended to contain heavier offspring. Therefore, in an effort to control for the effects of the covariates, repeated-measures analysis of covariance was performed using ratio values of newborn weight/mother weight (relative newborn weight) as the dependent variable, clutch size as the covariate and clutch number as the repeated measures term. Now, temperature as a main effect in an ANCOVA model did not significantly influence relative newborn weight. The repeatedmeasure term clutch number also became nonsignificant, indicating that when differences in mother weight due to age were accounted for there were no overall differences in relative newborn weight between clutches from a particular mother. Temperature effects on relative newborn weight were only significant as part of interaction terms with food concentration and with clutch number. Thus there were different weight responses to temperature within food levels, and between clutch numbers within food levels. Under the low-food conditions newborn were heaviest at 16°C, lightest at 12°C and intermediate at 22°C. Conversely, under the high-food condition newborn were lightest at 16°C, heaviest at 12°C and again intermediate at 22°C. However, newborn tended to be heavier under the low food condition, and food concentration was highly significant as a main effect. Mother growth rate showed no significant relationship with newborn weight. It is concluded that direct temperature effects on relative newborn weight are marginal and nonsignificant. Temperature effects through interactions with food concentration and clutch number are important determinants of newborn weight, but relatively speaking account for only a small proportion of observed variance in newborn weight (25%), compared with the direct effect of food concentration (67%).

    Notizen: Summary A method is presented for estimating rates of individual growth and population mortality utilizing average individual size at two times during a year. The model assumes a constant rate of mortality, Brody-Bertalanffy growth, a stationary age distribution, and recruitment confined to one month each year. A hypothetical example is presented to show the interrelationships of the growth and mortality constants, size at recruitment, asymptotic size and average individual size. Three examples are presented using data from the literature: Flathead sole (Hippoglossoides elassodon), a sea urchin(Echinus esculentus), and the crown-of-thorns starfish(Acanthaster planci). The method appears to be a means of obtaining reasonable approximations of growth and mortality rates for a variety of organisms.
