| 1 | Tribological properties of copper matrix composites reinforced with homogeneously dispersed graphene nanosheets显示文摘Graphene reinforced copper matrix composites(Gr/Cu) were fabricated by electrostatic self-assembly and powder metallurgy. The morphology and structure of graphene oxide, graphene oxide-Cu powders and Gr/Cu composites were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy, transmission electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. The effects of graphene contents,applied loads and sliding speeds on the tribological behavior of the composites were investigated. The results indicate that the coefficient of friction of the composites decreases first and then increases with increasing the graphene content. The lowest friction coefficient is achieved in 0.3 wt% Gr/Cu composite,which decreases by 65% compared to that of pure copper. The coefficient of friction of the composite does not have significant change with increasing the applied load, however, it increases with increasing the sliding speed. The tribological mechanisms of the composite under different conditions were also investigated. | Xin Gao Hongyan Yue Erjun Guo Shaolin Zhang Longhui Yao Xuanyu Lin Bao Wang Enhao Guan | 2018 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2018,34,10: | 9 |
| 2 | Effects of Constant versus Fluctuating Incubation Temperatures on Hatching Success, Incubation Length, and Hatchling Morphology in the Chinese Skink (Plestiodon chinensis)显示文摘We incubated eggs of Plestiodon chinensis under five constant(24, 26, 28, 30, and 32 °C) and one fluctuating thermal regimes to examine the effects of constant versus fluctuating incubation temperatures on hatching success, incubation length, and hatchling morphology. The duration of incubation varied considerably among the six temperature treatments, whereas hatching success did not. The mean incubation length decreased as temperature increased in a nonlinear way, and increased as the thermal variance increased. Incubation temperature affected the body size(linear length and mass) and shape of hatchlings, with eggs incubated at 26, 28, and 30 °C producing larger and heavier hatchlings than did those incubated at 24 °C, 32 °C, or fluctuating temperatures. Our results showed that exposure of P. chinensis eggs to extreme temperatures for brief periods of time did not increase embryonic mortality and, in the fluctuating-temperature treatment, the thermal variance affected hatchling morphology more evidently than the thermal mean. Our results highlight the importance of the thermal variance in affecting embryonic development and hatchling morphology, and add further evidence that temperatures within the range of 26-30 °C are optimal for P. chinensis embryos. | Wen SHEN Jianchi PEI Longhui LIN Xiang JI | 2017 | Asian Herpetological Research2017,18,4: | 5 |
| 3 | Differential expression of immune-related genes between healthy volunteers and type 2 diabetic patients with spleen-deficiency pattern显示文摘OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical differentiation of spleen-deficiency pattern(SDP), a group of symptoms and signs defined in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine for its clinical practice.METHODS: Peripheral venous blood(> 3 m L) was collected from each of six type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)-SDP patients and six healthy volunteers. After the isolation of peripheral white blood cells(PWBCs), total RNA was extracted, and quality control was performed on all RNA samples. Microarray experiments were conducted using the Agilent human whole genome gene chip, and genes demonstrating differential expression were screened. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted on these genes using several online databases.RESULTS: We screened a total of 175 differentially expressed genes(DEGs), of which 111(63%) were down-regulated and 64(37%) were up-regulated in T2DM-SDP patients compared with healthy controls. Among the 175 genes, 158 had biological function annotations: 46(29%) were directly related to an individual's immune regulation or response, 25(16%) were associated with substance and energy metabolism of PWBCs which could also indirectly influence immunity, and the remaining87(55%) were involved in a variety of PWBC biological processes that might eventually influence the immune function. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the DEGs were predominantly enriched in seven immune-related pathways. Hierarchical cluster analysis identified gene expression patterns that were distinguishable between the two study groups.CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that T2DM-SDP patients experience significant hypoimmunity and/or immune dysfunctions, and possess a specific gene expression profile. These findings offer new insights into SDP and the clinical pattern differentiation of T2DM-SDP. | Chen Longhui Yang Zemin Chen Weiwen Li Ruliu Lin Chuanquan Guan Lihua Zhu Zhangzhi Chen Ruifang Li Saimei Zhao Lingbo Zeng Jinhao Wang Jianhua | 2015 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2015,35,6: | 5 |
| 4 | Highly sensitive solar-blind deep ultraviolet photodetector based on graphene/PtSe_(2)/β-Ga_(2)O_(3)2D/3D Schottky junction with ultrafast speed显示文摘There is an emerging need for high-sensitivity solar-blind deep ultraviolet(DUV)photodetectors with an ultra-fast response speed.Although nanoscale devices based on Ga_(2)O_(3)nanostructures have been developed,their practical applications are greatly limited by their slow response speed as well as low specific detectivity.Here,the successful fabrication of two-/three-dimensional(2D/3D)graphene(Gr)/PtSe2/β-Ga_(2)O_(3)Schottky junction devices for high-sensitivity solar-blind DUV photodetectors is demonstrated.Benefitting from the high-quality 2D/3D Schottky junction,the vertically stacked structure,and the superior-quality transparent graphene electrode for effective carrier collection,the photodetector is highly sensitive to DUV light illumination and achieves a high responsivity of 76.2 mA/W,a large on/off current ratio of~105,along with an ultra-high ultraviolet(UV)/visible rejection ratio of 1.8×104.More importantly,it has an ultra-fast response time of 12µs and a remarkable specific detectivity of~1013 Jones.Finally,an excellent DUV imaging capability has been identified based on the Gr/PtSe2/β-Ga_(2)O_(3)Schottky junction photodetector,demonstrating its great potential application in DUV imaging systems. | Di Wu Zhihui Zhao Wei Lu Lukas Rogée Longhui Zeng Pei Lin Zhifeng Shi Yongtao Tian Xinjian Li Yuen Hong Tsang | 2021 | Nano Research2021,14,6: | 4 |
| 5 | Age-related Variation in Snake Venom: Evidence from Two Snakes (Naja atra and Deinagkistrodon acutus) in Southeastern China显示文摘In this study we explored electrophoretic profiles, enzymatic activities and immunoreactivity of neonate and adult venoms from two snakes(Naja atra and Deinagkistrodon acutus) coexisting in southeastern China. Age-related variation in electrophoretic profiles was found in both species and proteolytic and fibrinogenolytic activity was higher in neonate than adult venoms. Neonate D. acutus venom had higher 5'nucleotidase, PLA2, hyaluronidase and gelatinolytic activity, but lower esterolytic activity, than adult venom. Neonate and adult D. acutus venoms showed identical phosphomonoesterase, LAO and fibrinolytic activities. Neonate N. atra venom had higher phosphomonoesterase and LAO activity, but lower 5' nucleotidase, PLA2, hyaluronidase and AchE activities than adult venom. Neonate and adult N. atra venoms showed similar gelatinolytic activity. Further, age-dependent immunoreactivity was found in both species, and cross-reactions between homologous venoms and antiserums were closely related to venom composition. We speculate that age-related variation in venom characteristics is possibly driven by evolutionary forces associated with ontogenetic shifts in dietary habits, competition and predation pressure. | Ying HE Jianfang GAO Longhui LIN Xiaomei MA Xiang JI | 2014 | Asian Herpetological Research2014,5,2: | 2 |
| 6 | Species Diversity and Elevational Distribution of Amphibians in the Xianxialing and Wuyishan Mountain Ranges,Southeastern China显示文摘The species diversity and altitudinal distribution of amphibians along an eleva tional gradient of 200-1600 m in the Xianxialing and Wuyishan Mountain Ranges in Southeastern China were investiga ted through time-constra ined visual surveys along 32 transect lines in 9 survey areas,in which the ha bitat types were also recorded.A total of 27 amphibian species belonging to 19 genera,7 families,and 2 orders were found.The species diversity of the amphibians plateaued at low elevation,and the altitudinal boundary of their distribution was at 800 m.Their species compositions were dissimilar in the two mountain ranges probably beca use the annual average temperature and annual rainfall were different in both areas.The eleva tional Rapoport's rule demonstrated that the species range size of the amphibians expanded as the elevation increased in both mountain ranges.The results of the cross species method supported the rule only when the influence of the low-frequency occurrence proba bility of an investigated species was excluded,whereas those of the Steven's method strongly corroborated the rule rega rdless of the incidental occurrence or absence of the species. | Zhiqiang CHEN Yun TANG Yingying WANG Yindie LI Longhui LIN Guohua DING | 2020 | Asian Herpetological Research2020,11,1: | 2 |
| 7 | The Mitochondrial Genome of Pseudocalotes microlepis (Squamata: Agamidae) and its Phylogenetic Position in Agamids显示文摘We describe the complete mitochondrial genome of a small-scaled forest agamid(Pseudocalotes microlepis), which is 17 873 bp in size, containing 13 PCGs, 2 r RNAs, 22 t RNAs and non-coding regions. The mitogenome has a typical gene order among squamates. 13 PCGs include 2 start codons(ATG and ATA), 3 stop codons(TAG, TAA and AGG), and an incomplete stop codon(T-). Codon usage analyses showed that CUA-Leu1 and CGG-Arg are the most frequently and rarely used codon, respectively. All 22 t RNAs were predicted to form canonical cloverleaf secondary structures, except for two t RNAs(t RNACys and t RNASer(AGY)) lacking the dihydorouridine(DHU) arm. The large noncoding region(control region) is 2 687 bp long(28.3% T, 18.2% C, 42.3% A, and 11.2% G), with four different types of repeating sequences. The phylogenetic tree resulting from BEAST analyses based on concatenated 2 r RNAs and 13 PCGs in sequence revealed that the newly sequenced P. microlepis, where the genus Acanthosaura were aggregated. Together with Calotes versicolor, they constitute the subfamily Draconinae. | Xiuli YU Yu DU Mengchao FANG Hong LI Longhui LIN | 2018 | Asian Herpetological Research2018,9,1: | 1 |

| 9 | Identifying Intraspecific Variation in Venom Yield of Chinese Cobra(Naja atra) from Ten Populations in China's Mainland显示文摘Detailed information on venom yield is helpful in preparing antivenoms and treating snakebites, but such information is lacking for many species of venomous snakes. The Chinese cobra(Naja atra) is a large sized, venomous snake commonly found in southeastern China, where it causes a heavy burden of snakebites. To examine the effects of various factors(morphology, sex, age, season, and geographical origin) on the venom yield in this snake, we collected venom samples of 446 individuals(426 adults and 20 neonates) from 10 populations of N. atra over an eightyear period. We used two variables, lyophilized venom mass(venom yield) and solid content of venom(% solids), to quantify the venom yield. We used linear regression analysis to check if venom yield was related to morphological factors, one-way ANOVA and one-way ANCOVA to detect the sexual, ontogenetic, and geographic variation in venom yield, and repeated-measures ANOVA to examine seasonal shifts in venom yield. Our results indicate that venom yield of N. atra is positively related to the morphological traits examined, with male snakes expelling more venom than females. Venom yield in N. atra was age-related, with elder snakes always expelling more venom than younger ones. Geographic variation in venom yield was also observed, while seasonal variation was not. The solid content of venom was lower in males than in females, but this was not related to morphology, season, age, or geography. Our findings suggest that venom yield in N. atra is influenced by multiple factors, as well as by the interactions among these factors. | Jianfang GAO Yin YIN Yanfu QU Jin WANG Longhui LIN Hongliang LU Xiang JI | 2019 | Asian Herpetological Research2019,10,1: | 1 |
| 10 | Lineage diversification and niche evolution in the Reeves’Butterfly Lizard Leiolepis reevesii(Agamidae)显示文摘We used mitochondrial cytochrome b and ND4 genes and 9 microsatellite loci to determine genetic diversity,population structure,evolutionary history,and migration patterns within the Reeves’butterfly lizard Leiolepis reevesii(Agamidae).Considering molecular-based phylogeographical lineages,we then performed niche equivalency and similarity tests between divergent lineages.Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)data revealed 2 lineages(A and B)diverging≈0.84 million years ago and,respectively,restricted to the northern and southern portions of the Wuzhishan and Yinggeling mountain ranges.Lineage B contains individuals from southern Hainan;Lineage A includes individuals from all other localities and can be further divided into 3 clusters according to microsatellite data.The null hypothesis that the 2 lineages shared identical niches was rejected in all niche equivalency tests,indicating niche shifts during genetic divergence.Similarity tests provided evidence of niche conservatism,suggesting that the 2 lineages share more characteristics of their niche spaces than randomly expected.The niche similarity and equivalency tests indicated a complex niche pattern in which both lineages share a main portion of their ecological spaces.The climatic niche of Lineage B represented a marginal and specialized fraction of the entire ecological space of the climatic niche of Lineage A,with warmer conditions.Isolation caused by orogenesis and subsequent niche divergence,together with local adaptation,may have led to genetic differentiation and further lineage sorting in L.reevesii. | Xiaming ZHU Lei HUA Mengchao FANG Yu DU Chixian LIN Longhui LIN Xiang JI | 2021 | Integrative Zoology2021,16,3: | 1 |
| 11 | Unhatched and Hatched Eggshells of the Chinese Cobra Naja atra显示文摘Changes in structure and composition of the eggshell resulting from embryonic mobilization of minerals from the eggshell are found in all oviparous reptiles studied thus far. In this study, we measured samples of unhatched and hatched eggshells of the Chinese cobra Naja atra to determine the percentage of ash and the phase composition of calcium carbonate. The mean percentage of ash was significantly higher in unhatched eggshells(24.6%) than in hatched eggshells(22.3%). The dominant phase in unhatched eggshells was the calcite form of calcium carbonate. In addition to the peaks of calcite, a few small peaks were found to be caused by the aragonite and vaterite phases of calcium carbonate, implying that there are small amounts of aragonite and vaterite in the eggshell. The concentration of the various phases calculated from the intensity of the X-ray diffraction spectra allowed the estimation that percentages of calcite, aragonite and vaterite were about 92%, 4% and 4%, respectively. Hatched eggshells produced similar spectral characteristics as unhatched eggshells, with one exception. The dominant phase composition in the hatched eggshell was also calcite, but the amount of the aragonite phase had a marked increase. Our study adds evidence that embryonic mobilization of minerals from the eggshell may result in changes in structure of the eggshell. | Zheng WANG Longhui LIN Xiang JI | 2014 | Asian Herpetological Research2014,5,4: | 1 |
| 12 | Light trapping enhanced broadband photodetection and imaging based on MoSe_(2)/pyramid Si vdW heterojunction显示文摘Two-dimensional(2D)layered materials have been considered promising candidates for next-generation optoelectronics.However,the performance of 2D photodetectors still has much room for improvement due to weak light absorption of planar 2D materials and lack of high-quality heterojunction preparation technology.Notably,2D materials integrating with mature bulk semiconductors are a promising pathway to overcome this limitation and promote the practical application on optoelectronics.In this work,we present the patterned assembly of MoSe_(2)/pyramid Si mixed-dimensional van der Waals(vdW)heterojunction arrays for broadband photodetection and imaging.Benefited from the light trapping effect induced enhanced optical absorption and high-quality vdW heterojunction,the photodetector demonstrates a wide spectral response range from 265 to 1550 nm,large responsivity up to 0.67 A·W^(-1),high specific detectivity of 1.84×10^(13)Jones,and ultrafast response time of 0.34/5.6μs at 0 V.Moreover,the photodetector array exhibits outstanding broadband image sensing capability.This study offers a novel development route for high-performance and broadband photodetector array by MoSe_(2)/pyramid Si mixed-dimensional heterojunction. | Shaoqin Pan Shuo-En Wu Jinjin Hei Zhiwen Zhou Longhui Zeng Yakun Xing Pei Lin Zhifeng Shi Yongtao Tian Xinjian Li Di Wu | 2023 | Nano Research2023,16,7: | 0 |
| 13 | Influences of AMY1 gene copy number and protein expression on salivary alpha-amylase activity before and after citric acid stimulation in splenic asthenia children显示文摘OBjECTIVE:To compare the correlations between salivary alpha-amylase(sAA) activity and amylase,alpha 1(salivary) gene(AMY1) copy number or its gene expression between splenic asthenia and healthy children,and investigate the reasons of attenuated sAA activity ratio before and after citric acid stimulation in splenic asthenia children.METHODS:Saliva samples from 20 splenic asthenia children and 29 healthy children were collected before and after citric acid stimulation.AMY1 copy number,sAA activity,and total sAA and glycosylated sAA contents were determined,and their correlations were analyzed.RESULTS:Although splenic asthenia and healthy children had no differences in AMY1 copy number,splenic asthenia children had positive correlations between AMY1 copy number and sAA activity before or after citric acid stimulation.Splenic asthenia children had a higher sAA glycosylated proportion ratio and glycosylated sAA content ratio,while their total sAA content ratio and sAA activity ratio were lower compared with healthy children.The glycosylated sAA content ratio was higher than the total sAA content ratio in both groups.Splenic asthenia and healthy children had positive correlations between total sAA or glycosylated sAA content and sAA activity.However,the role played by glycosylated sAA content in sAA activity in healthy children increased after citric acid stimulation,while it decreased in splenic asthenia children.CONCLUSION:Genetic factors like AMY1 copy number variations,and more importantly,sAA glycosylation abnormalities leading to attenuated sAA activity after citric acid stimulation,which were the main reasons of the attenuated sAA activity ratio in splenic asthenia children compared with healthy children. | Yang Zemin Lin Jing Chen Longhui Zhang Min Yang Xiaorong Chen Weiwen | 2015 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2015,35,3: | 0 |
| 14 | Next-generation Sequencing of MHC Class Ⅰ Genes Reveals Trans-species Polymorphism in Eutropis multifasciata and Other Species of Scincidae显示文摘The genes of the major histocompatibility complex(MHC) encode cell surface proteins that are essential for adaptive immunity. MHC genes show the most prominent genetic diversity in vertebrates,reflecting the adaptation of populations to their evolving environment, population survival and reproduction. In the present study, we used nextgeneration sequencing(NGS) to study the loci polymorphism of exon 3 of the MHC class Ⅰ genes in an ovoviviparous skink, the many-lined sun skink,Eutropis multifasciata and five other species of Scincidae, to quantify genetic variation. In addition,we genotyped the same MHC class Ⅰ genes of E.multifasciata using clone sequencing, to directly compare the effectiveness of both analytical techniques for MHC genotyping. NGS detected 20MHC class Ⅰ alleles in E. multifasciata, and 2 to 15 alleles in the other five Scincidae species. However,clone sequencing detected only 15 of those MHC class Ⅰ alleles in E. multifasciata. In addition, transspecies polymorphism of MHC class Ⅰ genes was studied by constructing a phylogenetic tree using the gene sequences obtained by NGS. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that MHC class I alleles were shared among different species of Scincidae with trans-species polymorphism, and did not exhibit specific genealogical inheritance. These results have important implications for understanding polymorphism interspecies diversity in the MHC genes of Scincidae, and the evolution of the MHC more broadly. | Shufang ZHANG Youfu LIN Yingzhi CHENG Haiyun YANG Xiaming ZHU Yu DU Longhui LIN Yanfu QU LianCHEN Hong LI | 2023 | Asian Herpetological Research2023,14,4: | 0 |
| 15 | Lineage Diversification and Niche Evolution in the Chinese Cobra Naja atra (Elapidae)显示文摘Theroleof nicheevolution(niche conservatism or niche divergence)in lineage diversification is a poorly studied area.The Chinese cobra Naja atra(Elapidae)has diverged into three lineages:Lineage E in eastern China,Lineage S in southern China and Vietnam,and Lineage W in western China.However,whether the ecological niche is conserved or divergent among these three lineages is unknown.In the present study,we used ecological niche models in geographical space to study the ecological differences among lineages.We compared the niche overlap in environmental space to test niche conservatism and niche divergence.Our results showed that the three lineages of N.atra shared an ecological niche space between Lineages E and S/W,with the climatic niches of Lineages S and W representing a specialized fraction of the climatic niche of Lineage E.We speculated that the niche divergence between Lineages S and W was a consequence of geographical barriers limitinggeneflow.Ourstudyprovides evidence for lineage diversification associated with both geographical isolation and climatic niche evolution,suggesting that early niche divergence between Lineages S and W,followed by niche conservatism,causes niche divergence among lineages. | Xiaming ZHU Guanyan ZHU Shengnan ZHANG Yu DU Yanfu QU Longhui LIN Xiang JI | 2022 | Asian Herpetological Research2022,13,4: | 0 |
| 16 | Body Size and Reproductive Tactics in Varanid lizards显示文摘Body size and female reproduction in the water monitor lizard(Varanus salvator) were studied. Forty-two adult females larger than 500 mm SVL and 32 adult males larger than 400 mm SVL were donated by local people in Ledong, Hainan under permit to our laboratory in Hainan in 2013 and 2014. The largest male and female measured 745 and 755 mm SVL, respectively. The mean SVL was greater in adult females than in adult males. Males had larger heads(head width) than females of the same SVL. The smallest reproductive female in our sample was 565 mm SVL. Females produced a single clutch of 17.1(10-23) pliable-shelled eggs per breeding season stretching from mid-June and mid-September. Clutch size and clutch mass were all positively related to female SVL. However, there was no significant linear relationship between egg mass and female SVL. Larger females generally produced more eggs, and thus heavier clutches than did smaller ones. There was no significant linear relationship between relative clutch mass and female SVL. Phylogenetic generalized least squares(PGLS) analysis, accounting for phylogenetic relationships, showed that clutch size was positively correlated with mean maternal SVL in varanid lizards. PGLS analysis showed that phylogenetic relationships did not affect clutch(or/and egg) mass and the SVL although there were significant linear relationship between clutch(or/and egg) mass and mean maternal SVL. Therefore, we could draw some general conclusions about the body size and reproductive tactics in varanid lizards that larger females generally produced more eggs, larger eggs and thus heavier clutches than did smaller ones. | Yu DU Longhui LIN Yuntao YAO Chixian LIN Xiang JI | 2014 | Asian Herpetological Research2014,5,4: | 0 |
| 17 | Van der Waals integration inch-scale 2D MoSe_(2) layers on Si for highly-sensitive broadband photodetection and imaging显示文摘As one of the most promising materials for two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides(2D TMDs),molybdenum diselenide(MoSe_(2))has great potential in photodetectors due to its excellent properties like tunable bandgap,high carrier mobility,and excellent air stability.Although 2D MoSe_(2)-based photodetectors have been reported to exhibit admired performance,the large-area 2D MoSe_(2)layers are difficult to be achieved via conventional synthesis methods,which severely impedes its future applications.Here,we present the controllable growth of large-area 2D MoSe_(2)layers over 3.5-inch with excellent homogeneity by a simple post-selenization route.Further,a high-quality n-MoSe_(2)/p-Si van der Waals(vdW)heterojunction device is in-situ fabricated by directly growing 2D n-MoSe_(2)layers on the patterned p-Si substrate,which shows a self-driven broadband photoresponse ranging from ultraviolet to mid-wave infrared with an impressive responsivity of 720.5 mA·W^(−1),a high specific detectivity of 10^(13) Jones,and a fast response time to follow nanosecond pulsed optical signal.In addition,thanks to the inch-level 2D MoSe_(2)layers,a 4×4 integrated heterojunction device array is achieved,which has demonstrated good uniformity and satisfying imaging capability.The large-area 2D MoSe_(2)layer and its heterojunction device array have great promise for high-performance photodetection and imaging applications in integrated optoelectronic systems. | Yupiao Wu Shuo-En Wu Jinjin Hei Longhui Zeng Pei Lin Zhifeng Shi Qingming Chen Xinjian Li Xuechao Yu Di Wu | 2023 | Nano Research2023,16,8: | 0 |
| 18 | Macroecological Patterns of Climatic Niche Breadth Variation in Lacertid Lizards显示文摘Measuring climatic niche position and breadth may help to determine where species can occur over space and time. Using GIS-based and phylogenetic comparative methods, we investigated global patterns of variation in climatic niche breadth in lacertid lizards to test the following three hypotheses about climatic niche widths. First, does a species' temperature or precipitation niche breadth relate to its temperature or precipitation niche position(the mean value of annual mean temperature or annual precipitation across sampled localities in the range of each species)? Second, are there trade-offs between a species' temperature niche breadth and precipitation niche breadth? Third, does a species' temperature or precipitation niche breadth relate to altitude or latitude? We expect that:(1) species distributed in cold regions are specialized for low-temperature environments(i.e. narrow niche breadth center around low temperatures);(2) a negative relationship between species niche breadth on temperature and precipitation axes according to the tradeoff hypothesis(i.e. species that tolerate a broad range of precipitation regimes cannot also tolerate a broad range of temperatures);(3) precipitation niche breadth decreases with altitude or latitude, whereas temperature climatic niche breadth increases with altitude or latitude. Based on the analytical results we found that:(1) temperature niche breadth and position are negatively related, while precipitation niche breadth and position are positively related;(2) there is no trade-off between temperature and precipitation niche breadths; and (3) temperature niche breadth and latitude/altitude are positively related, but precipitation niche breadth and latitude/altitude are not significantly related. Our results show many similarities with previous studies on climatic niche widths reported for amphibians and lizards, which provide further evidence that such macroecological patterns of variation in climatic niche breadths may be widespread. | Mengchao FANG Xiaming ZHU Yu DU Lin ZHANG Longhui LIN | 2019 | Asian Herpetological Research2019,10,1: | 0 |
| 19 | Influence of reference states on Jupiter’s dynamo simulations显示文摘Jupiter’s magnetic field is thought to be generated in its deep metallic hydrogen region through dynamo action,yet the detailed dynamic process remains poorly understood.Numerical simulations have produced Jupiter-like magnetic fields,albeit using different control parameters and reference state models.In this study,we investigate the influence of different reference state models,based on ab initio calculations and based on the polytropic equation of state.In doing so,we perform five anelastic convection dynamo simulations that can be divided into two groups.In each group,different reference states are used while other control parameters and conditions are set to be identical.We find the reference state model can be very influential for the simulations in which buoyancy force is dominant over the Lorentz force.In this regime,different dynamical outcomes can be attributed to the effective buoyancy force resulting from different reference states.For simulations in which the Lorentz force is dominant over the buoyancy force,however,dynamo actions tend to be insensitive to different reference state models.If Jupiter’s dynamo is in a strong field regime,i.e.,the Lorentz force plays a dominant role,our numerical results suggest that Jupiter’s internal reference state,which remains poorly constrained,may play a minor role in the dynamo process of the planet. | LongHui Yuan YuFeng Lin Chris AJones | 2021 | Earth and Planetary Physics2021,5,4: | 0 |
