    Description: Many coral reef fish species aggregate at specific times and locations for the purpose of spawning. This study examined the spatial and temporal distribution of spawning aggregations in the Seychelles. An interview-based survey of the principal stakeholders, mainly artisanal fishers, yielded 89 reports of aggregation fishing for 26 demersal and semi-pelagic fish species. Grouper aggregations were largely concentrated in the outer coralline islands of the exclusive economic zone, whilst those of snappers and rabbitfishes were mainly reported from locations on the Seychelles Bank. The spatial patterns among fish families were attributed to a combination of differences in species abundance and distribution as well as variation in fishing effort. Spawning periodicity reported by fishers indicated that for snappers and rabbitfishes, the most activity occurred across a protracted period of October to April/May, with peaks in activity at either end of that period. Grouper spawning activity was concentrated in the northeast monsoon months of November to January. The findings of this study suggest that several spawning aggregations are targeted by fishers on a regular basis, a practice that constitutes a primary issue for artisanal fisheries research and management in the Seychelles.

    Notes: Abstract The existence of endosymbiotic sulfur-oxidizing chemoautotrophic and methanotrophic bacteria associating with marine mytilid mussels has previously been inferred by 16S rDNA analysis in Bathymodiolus puteoserpentis Von Cosel et al. 1994, a hydrothermal vent mussel from a site on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. In mussels collected in June 1993, we found evidence of enzymes diagnostic of two distinct C1 assimilation pathways in this symbiosis. Assays for the utilization of radiolabelled methane and for immunodetection of methanol dehydrogenase were positive, indicating that oxidation and incorporation of this substrate are occurring in this symbiosis. Sulfide or thiosulfate had no detectable stimulatory effect on CO2 incorporation, and assays for the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO), an enzyme diagnostic for the Calvin–Benson cycle, were negative. RubisCO was detected in all samples examined by immunoblot analysis, indicating this enzyme is expressed in the B. puteoserpentis symbiosis. Stable isotope data showed that carbon isotope values were in agreement with previously reported values, and nitrogen isotope values were among the most depleted ever reported for bivalve symbioses. The carbon isotope values do not preclude the utilization of vent-derived methane. These data could be explained by the presence of two metabolically distinct bacterial symbionts or a Type X methanotrophic symbiont.

    Notes: Abstract –  We examine patterns in fish species assemblages in the Toxaway and Horsepasture rivers, two high elevation streams in North Carolina, USA. This region is noted for extreme topographical relief, high cumulative annual rainfall and many rare and endemic plants and animals. The study area encompasses a portion of the Blue Ridge Escarpment and the associated Brevard Fault Zone. We hypothesise that major waterfalls and cascade complexes have acted to limit invasion and colonisation by fishes from downstream. This hypothesis is supported by longitudinal fish assemblage patterns in our study streams. Fish species richness in Toxaway River increased from 4 to 23 between Lake Toxaway and Lake Jocassee, a distance of 10 river km. We found similar discontinuities in neighbouring Horsepasture River and Bearwallow Creek. We found no instances of species replacement along this elevation gradient, and the trend in increased diversity downstream showed discontinuities coincident with sharp elevation breaks. With regard to theories posited to explain community formation in headwater stream fish communities (especially in those characterised by high topographical relief), we suggest coloniser ‘access’ may be more important than other factors including competitive interactions.

    Notes: The Stark effect on the qR22(0,0.5) (ν=17 682.9251 cm−1) and qP11(0,1.5) (ν=17 682.1966 cm−1) branch features of the (0,0) B 2A1–X 2A1 band system of calcium methoxide, CaOCH3, was measured and analyzed to give the magnitude of the permanent electronic dipole moments, |μ|, of 1.58(8) D and 1.21(5) D for the X 2A1 and B 2A1 states, respectively. The dipole moments are compared with other monovalent calcium compounds and those predicted from a simple electrostatic model. Pure rotational transitions in the X 2A1 state were recorded using the pump/probe microwave-optical double resonance technique. The proton magnetic hyperfine splitting pattern confirms a C3v symmetry of the ground electronic state. The determined Fermi contact and dipolar parameters are: aF=−0.421(27) MHz; Taa=1.070(45) MHz, and |Tbb−Tcc|=0.292(47) MHz. The latter parameter is associated with the lifting of the K-degeneracy of this symmetric top molecule and mixing the I0=1/2 and I0=3/2 levels. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The Pe(1), F″=2.5 branch feature of the (0,0) D 3Π0e–X 3Δ1 band system of 51VN was recorded as a function of an applied static electric field. The resultant Stark splitting and shifts were analyzed giving values of 3.07(7) D and 6.1(4) D for the X 3Δ1 and D 3Π0e states, respectively, for the magnitude of the permanent electric dipole moment, |μ|. Similarly, the Ree(0.5) branch feature of the (0,0) A 4Π3/2–X 4Σ− band system of 52CrN was recorded as a function of an applied static electric field and analyzed to produce |μ| values of 2.31(4) D and 5.42(2) D for the X 4Σ− and A 4Π3/2 states, respectively. In order to facilitate the dipole moment determinations for 52CrN it was necessary to record and analyze the field free spectrum of the (0,0) A 4Π3/2–X 4Σ− subband system. A comparison of the dipole moments for the first row monoxides and mononitrides is made and trends are discussed with reference to a molecular orbital correlation scheme. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The pure rotational spectrum of BaCH3(X˜ 2A1) in its ground vibrational state has been recorded using millimeter/submillimeter direct absorption techniques, the first spectroscopic information obtained for this molecule. The radical was created using Broida-type oven/d.c. discharge methods by the reaction of barium vapor and Sn(CH3)4. Twenty-eight rotational transitions of the main isotopomer 138BaCH3 were recorded, as well as five for 136BaCH3 and three for the 137BaCH3 species. Being a prolate symmetric top, K ladder structure was observed in all transitions for BaCH3, as well as fine structure splittings which arise from the unpaired electron in the molecule. For the 137Ba isotopomer, hyperfine interactions were also resolved, arising from the spin of the barium nucleus. The complete data set has been analyzed with a 2A Hamiltonian, and rotational, spin-rotational, and magnetic hyperfine/nuclear quadrupole parameters accurately determined. The fine and hyperfine structure constants established from this study suggest a predominantly ionic bond for BaCH3, but with a considerable covalent component. Structural parameters for BaCH3 derived in this work are consistent with those of other alkaline earth monomethyl species. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effects were investigated of fruit maturity and duration of wetness on infection of apple fruits by Venturia inaequalis, and subsequent scab development. Incubation rate (inverse of median incubation period) increased linearly with increasing temperature (5–20°C) on detached 5-week-old fruits of cv. Royal Gala. Fruits were highly susceptible in the early stages of development, but became increasingly resistant as they matured. Inoculation of attached 12-week-old and detached near-mature fruits did not result in any lesions, while inoculation of attached 4-, 5-, 7- and 9-week-old fruits resulted in various levels of infection. Fruits of cv. Mondial Gala were more susceptible than those of cv. Cox's Orange Pippin. On cv. Mondial Gala, a wet period of 9 h resulted in ≈ 90% infection of 4-week-old fruits, but only 9% infection of 9-week-old fruits. Numbers of scab lesions on an apple generally followed a Neyman type A rather than a Poisson distribution, indicating a certain degree of aggregation of lesions on a fruit. A two-parameter generalization of the Poisson model described the observed incidence–density relationship well. A longer duration of wetness was required to result in a similar level of scab infection on old fruits to that on young fruits. On cv. Mondial Gala, wet periods of 9 and 32 h were required for ≈ 90% incidence of fruit scab on 4- and 7-week-old fruits, respectively. A mathematical model was developed to relate the incidence of fruit scab to duration of wetness and fruit maturity. The potential use of these results in practical disease management is discussed.

    Notes: Six six-row Nordic spring barley genotypes (Hordeum vulgare L.) were assessed in the field in Finland (1994 and 1995) for resistance to Rhynchosporium secalis (Oud.) J.J. Davis, the causal pathogen of scald, in artificially inoculated plots. The barleys were known not to contain major genes for resistance to scald and the purpose of these experiments was to identify quantitative differences in resistance to scald which might be exploitable in a breeding programme. Disease development was monitored, grain yield and yield components were recorded, and these data were compared with measurements taken from plants in plots kept free of disease. Data, averaged over both years, for disease development on the uppermost three leaves — areas under disease progress curves, terminal severity and apparent infection rates — indicated that ‘Verner’, ‘Pohto’ and ‘Pokko’ were symptomatically significantly more resistant to scald than ‘Arve’, ‘Loviisa’ and Jo 1599. Grain yields, thousand-grain weights, test weights and proportions of plump grains were all significantly reduced in plots inoculated with scald compared with those kept free of disease; ‘Verner’ appeared to be the most useful genotype for use in crossing programmes to improve scald resistance in Finnish barleys.

    Notes: Dissipative partial differential equations have applications throughout the sciences: models of turbulence in fluids, chemical reactions, and morphogenesis in biology can all be written in a general form which allows them to be subjected to a unified analysis. Recent results on these equations show that in many cases they are not as complex as they initially appear, and can be converted into a set of ordinary differential equations. However, most of the relevant references present a bewildering array of terms which can obscure the simple underlying ideas. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce this terminology, motivated by several major results, slowly and by example. Detailed proofs are omitted, but it is hoped that this approach will give a good understanding of and intuitive feel for the subject without recourse to technicalities. Nevertheless, sufficient mathematical detail is included to allow application of these results to many examples. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
