  Invasive rodents are a major contributor to global biodiversity loss.They also interact with other introduced species in invaded ecosystems,so managing rodent impacts is complex because ecological relationships are often incompletely understood.These knowledge gaps also undermine our ability to predict global change effects (such as climate and land-use change) on invaded ecosystems when potential changes in extrinsic environmental factors are uncertain.We quantified the ecological role of mice in grassland/shrubland ecosystems in New Zealand,in combination with (a) other invasive mammals (herbivores and top predators) , (b) climate change,and (c) habitat modification.Mice are mesopredators in this ecosystem.We found that a combination of (1) trophic interactions among invasive mammals, (2) altered frequency of pulsed seeding events (masts) in grasslands, (3) seral transitions to a shrub-dominated plant community,and (4) proximity to expanding intensive pastoralism all operated synergistically to alter the dynamics of mice.These findings imply serious adverse impacts of global change on rodent impacts,and are all key processes to consider when managing rodents in invaded ecosystems.

由于聚乙烯、聚丙烯、乙烯丙烯共聚物、氯化聚丙烯的极性比较低,和极性稍强的胶粘剂、涂料共混有一定的困难。为了增加它们的极性,采用马来酸酐接枝,是一种常用的方法。由于接枝效率比较低,大量的马来酸酐变成其副产物聚马来酸酐。由于聚马来酸酐和聚烯烃或是氯化聚丙烯的接枝物在溶度参数的巨大差异,接枝物和聚马来酸酐是不相容的。作为胶粘剂,对于表面均匀程度要求还不太高,但是用作为涂料的助剂就有了相当的困难。聚马来酸
