  "We, Too, Sing 'America'"

  by Duke Ellington

  Effects of Marine Reserves on Adjacent Fisheries

  Marine reserves, areas that are closed to all fishing, have been attracting much attention for their dual potential as conservation and fishery management tools (1–5). A synthesis of more than 100 studies of reserves worldwide shows that protection from fishing leads to rapid increases in biomass, abundance, and average size of exploited organisms and to increased species diversity (6). Such effects are of great interest to fishery managers, because rebuilding exploited populations in reserves offers prospects of fishery enhancement (3,7).

  A study by a team of British researchers published yesterday in the journal PLOS ONE found a strong correlation between what they call a book’s “literary misery index” (the frequency of words such as “anger,” disgust,” “fear,” and “sadness”) and the economic misery index (a measure of unemployement and inflation) of either the U.S. or Britain for the ten years that preceded its publication.

  第一篇是moth有sensor感受CO2,一种female moth会探测新陈代谢高的植物;另一种moth会寻找nectar,第二篇在此基础上还研究一类花散发的味道。

  P1: “Floral CO2 emission may indicate food abundance to nectar-feeding moths”

  Abstract

  As part of a study of the roles of the sensory subsystem devoted to CO2 in the nectar-feeding moth Manduca sexta, we investigated CO2 release and nectar secretion by flowers of Datura wrightii, a preferred hostplant of Manduca. Datura flowers open at dusk and wilt by the following noon. During the first hours after dusk, when Manduca feeds, the flowers produce considerable amounts of nectar and emit levels of CO2 that should be detectable by moths nearby. By midnight, however, both nectar secretion and CO2 release decrease significantly. Because nectar production requires high metabolic activity, high floral CO2 emission may indicate food abundance to the moths. We suggest that hovering moths could use the florally emitted CO2 to help them assess the nectar content before attempting to feed in order to improve their foraging efficiency.

  P2: “better communication from chemistry”
