General 1.1 Background Huainan City is located in the midstream of Huaihe River, middle part of Anhui Province, which lies between 116°21′21″~117°11′59″ east longitude and 32°32′45″~33°0′24″ northern latitude. Huainan City is a new-type energy base in China, which was founded in 1950 relying on the mine; it has very rich coal resources, and is one of the 14 hundred-million ton coal bases in China. However, since 1960s, due to years of continuous coal resources mining, a large area of ground collapsed; such coal mining subsidence area affects five districts and one county of the whole city, including 27 towns; the total subsidence area is about 204.6 km2, which occupies 7.9% of the whole city’s area; and the population affected is about 311,000, which occupies 12.8% of the whole population. The Twelfth Five-Year Planning Outline for National Economy and Social Development of Huainan City put forward explicit goals: at the end of the Twelfth Five-Year, make a significant progress for the comprehensive treatment of coal mining collapse area, gradually form a coal mining collapse area comprehensive treatment mode with Huainan characteristics, strive to realize the coal mining collapse area comprehensive treatment goals of “life urbanization, production diversification, and ecology reclamation”. Strengthen the comprehensive treatment of coal mining collapse area, establish ecology compensation mechanism for the damages caused by coal mining collapse to agriculture, ecology and environment, and the resources compensation mechanism for resident moving resettlement, training, employment and social security caused by coal mining collapse, as well as repair the ecological environment and improve the living environment and living conditions of the local residents. In Huainan, Jiulonggang and Datong mine lots had been exploited by earth kiln since the seventeenth century; mines were founded there in 1911, which were exhausted and scraped in 1982. Due to long-term and wide-range exploitation, the closed subsidence area reaches 1,352 hectares at present. With the exhausting of the coal resources, Datong District, which was the coal production base as well as political, economical and cultural center of Huainan, slows down its economic growth, and its financial situation also becomes difficult gradually. Moreover, the ground subsidence and collapse caused by the coal mining further destroy the rural infrastructure and farmers’ houses, affect the agricultural production, and pollute the ecological environment; therefore, residents living in or around the subsidence area have been living in such an abominable residential environment for a long time. Except for these basic hazard factors, the coal mining collapse area of Datong District was far from the downtown, and the domestic rubbishes of Huainan were dumped into the collapse pit, and such area reached about 98,542m2; during the25 years of service period from 1984 to 2009, the dumping volume reached 1,136,860m3; for some historical reasons, seepage-proofing or any other innocent treatment measures were not done to this dumpsite, and the landfill polluted the air and groundwater in the neighboring area to some extent, and the surrounding residents’ health faces serious threat. In order to completely change the ecological environment of the subsidence area, as well as provide more employment opportunities for the moved and resettled residents, Huainan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government declared the “Sustainable Development Engineering of Resource-Based City (Huainan City) -- World Bank Loan Project of Coal Mining Collapse Area Comprehensive Treatment and Utilization” to the World Bank organization, National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Finance at the end of 2011; they actively strive for the World Bank Project to use for the 1 complete control of the subsidence area. Through ecological environment modification, we can prevent the further deterioration of the ecological environment in this area, recover the ecology of the coal mining subsidence area, effectively improve the urban ecology functions and green land area, gradually improve the current situations of abominable ecological and living environments, and form a graceful human settlement where people and nature harmoniously mingling, thus providing an example of environmental modification and exploitation for the resource exhaustion mine

Cyanogenic glucosides are natural products widespread in the plant kingdom, and also known to be present in arthropods. They are stabilised by a glucoside linkage, which is hydrolysed by the action of β-glucosidase enzymes, resulting in the release of toxic hydrogen cyanide and deterrent aldehydes or ketones.

Zygaenidae, Lepidoptera The liberation of hydrocyanic acid by intact not damaged living insects is described as “active cyanogenesis”. This phenomenon — as in contrast to "passive cyanogenesis” observed in plants, where enzyme and substrate get in contact only after tissue damage — is reported from the Zygaenidae. Quantitative data demonstrate that the Zygaenidae can increase the amount of emitted HCN upon irritation. The significance of this phenomenon as a mean of defense is discussed.

PJ: [email protected]; KKV: [email protected] Received on 30 April 2012. Accepted on 17 July 2012. Final version received on 29 October 2012. Summary Aggregations of conspecifics are ubiquitous in the biological world. In arthropods, such aggregations are generated and regulated through complex interactions of chemical and mechanical as well as abiotic and biotic factors. Aggregations are often functionally associated with facilitation of defense, thermomodula- tion, feeding, and reproduction, amongst others. Although the iconic aggregations of locusts, fireflies, and monarch butterflies come to mind, many other groups of arthropods also aggregate. Cycloalexy is a form of circular or quasicircular aggregation found in many animals. In terrestrial arthropods, cycloalexy appears to be a form of defensive aggregation although we cannot rule out other functions, particularly thermomodulation. In insects, cycloalexic-associated behaviors may include coordinated movements, such as the adoption of seemingly threatening postures, regurgitation of presumably toxic compounds, as well as biting movements. These behaviors appear to be associated with attempts to repel objects perceived to be threatening, such as potential predators or parasitoids.
