Ultraviolet(UV)A signals(320-400 nm)are important in mate choice in numerous species.The sensitivity for UV signals is not only assumed to be costly,but also expected to be a function of the prevailing ecological conditions.Generally,those signals are favored by selection that efficiently reach the receiver.A decisive factor for color signaling is the lighting environment,especially in aquatic habitats,as the visibility of signals,and thus costs and benefits,are instantaneously influenced by it.Although ecological aspects of color signal evolution are relatively well-studied,there is little data on specific effects of environmental UV-light conditions on signaling at these shorter wavelengths.We studied wild-caught gravid female 3-spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus of 2 photic habitat types(tea-stained and clear-water lakes),possessing great variation in their UV transmission.In 2 treatments,tea-stained and clear-water,preferences for males viewed under UV-present(UV+)and UV-absent(UV-)conditions were tested.A preference for males under UV+conditions was found for females from both habitat types,thus stressing the signifi-cance of UV signals in stickleback\'s mate choice decisions.However,females from both habitat types showed the most pronounced preferences for males under UV+conditions under clear-water test conditions.Moreover,reflectance measurements revealed that the carotenoid-based or-ange-red breeding coloration in wild-caught males of both habitat types differed significantly in color intensity(higher in clear-water males)and hue(more red shifted in clear-water males)while no significant differences in UV coloration were found.The differential reflection patterns in longer wavelengths suggest that sticklebacks of both habitat types have adapted to the respective water conditions.Adaptations of UV signals in a sexual context to ambient light conditions in both behav-ior and coloration seem less evident.

通过进行低温储罐静置试验,研究不同液位条件下罐内压力随时间的变化,根据低温介质物性方程和储罐容积公式,计算得到不同液位条件下储罐日蒸发率.结果表明,静置过程中罐内压力随时间呈线性变化,压力上升速率随液位降低而逐渐增加.日蒸发率随时间动态变化,储罐液位越低日蒸发率越大.当储罐液位从85%降低至12%时,压力上升速率变为原来的3倍,日蒸发率增加40多倍.储罐低液位存储时,压力上升速度明显增加,无损储存时间大幅减小,不利于液氮的长期静置存储.
