密度和温度对萼花臂尾轮虫产卵量和混交雌体的影响

用小球藻(Chlorella sp.)为食培养萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus),食物浓度约1×10~6cells/mL,温度25℃,光照强度约40001x,昼长比LD=18:6。在1.0mL、0.5mL和0.25mL培养液中同时进行单个体和群体培养。结果发现:1)单个体培养时每个母体平均产卵量分别为12.0,13.8和7.8个;后代个体中混交雌体的百分比分别是46.38％,53.49％和55.83％。2)群体培养时,每个母体平均产卵量分别为8.7、3.1和2.65个,随密度增加而减少;后代个体中混交雌体百分比分别为41.70％,53.59％和54.26％,群体培养的密度为4.0ind./mL与2.0ind./mL,2.0ind./mL与1.0ind./mL混交雌体的百分比差异不明显。母体密度高低与后代混交雌体百分比间具有明显相关性。在上述培养条件下,轮虫为1.0ind./mL时,进行单个体培养,分别用急剧冷休克(SS)、逐渐冷休克(GS)和恒温对照(C)进行处理,结果表明:个体平均产卵量分别为10.8、9.2和12.6个。后代混交雌体百分比分别为32.85、20.7和16.87,SS和C处间后其混交雌体比例具显著差异,而SS和GS,GS和C处理间没有显著差异。     

食物质量对盔形溞(Daphnia galeata)和脆弱象鼻溞(Bosmina fatalis)生活史参数的影响

枝角类体内氮磷比与生活史策略的选择密切相关,大型枝角类通常体内含磷量高、个体生长快、生殖率高,而小型枝角类体内含磷量低,个体生长相对较慢、生殖率低.由于大型枝角类对磷的需求比较高,我们假设大型枝角类生活史各参数对食物磷缺乏比小型枝角类更为敏感.本研究比较分析了食物碳磷比对流溪河水库两种枝角类（盔型溞（Daphnia galeata）和脆弱象鼻溞（Bosmina fatalis））生活史各参数的影响.实验设计了3个食物质量处理组：高磷（碳：磷=105）、中磷（400）和低磷（1450）,食物浓度均为2 mg C/L的蛋白核小球藻（Chlorella pyrenoidosa）.脆弱象鼻溞内禀增长率、幼溞生长速率、平均每窝产仔量和首次生殖时体长均随着食物碳磷比的升高而显著下降;首次生殖时间则随着食物碳磷比的升高而显著延长;新生幼溞体长在各食物处理中无显著差异.盔型溞幼溞生长速率、平均每窝产仔量和首次生殖时体长均随着食物碳磷比的升高而显著下降;内禀增长率和新生幼溞体长在高磷处理组显著高于中磷和低磷处理组,但在中磷和低磷处理组无显著差异;首次生殖时间在高磷处理组显著短于中磷和低磷处理组,但在中磷和低磷处理组无显著差异.结果表明,食物的磷缺乏降低了两种枝角类的内禀增长率和幼溞生长速率,并延长了性成熟时间;盔型溞的内禀增长率、首次生殖时间和平均每窝产仔量等生活史参数受食物磷限制的程度小于脆弱象鼻溞,导致盔型溞对脆弱象鼻溞有竞争优势.     

微囊藻(FACHB-905)和鱼腥藻(FACHB-82)响应温度变化的功能特性权衡

微囊藻和鱼腥藻是水华蓝藻的两个主要类群,两种藻均可调节自身形态及生理特性来维持快速生长,这也是两个类群蓝藻水华维持的基础.本研究分析了微囊藻(FACHB-905)和鱼腥藻(FACHB-82)生长、形态及叶绿素荧光参数对温度变化的响应,以及生长与特性间的权衡关系.结果显示:该微囊藻细胞直径随温度升高而降低,但是比增长速率维持稳定,表明在高温条件下,其可能通过减小细胞大小的方式维持比增长速率;该鱼腥藻在不同温度下,平均细胞直径和藻丝长度呈现显著变化,高温条件下,其维持较高的比增长速率,但是细胞直径增大,藻丝长度缩短,这可能是其调节自身形态以维持较高比增长速率的方式.该微囊藻和鱼腥藻分别在细胞较大和较小时,藻细胞潜在的光化学效率更高.本研究表明这两种蓝藻可以通过权衡藻细胞形态、生理特性两者与生长速率之间的关系来适应温度的变化以达到自身最佳的生长状态,微囊藻(FACHB-905)通过调节细胞大小和光合活性来维持生长优势,而鱼腥藻(FACHB-82)则通过细胞大小、藻丝长度和光合活性的调节来维持生长优势.本研究的结果有助于提升对于水华蓝藻生长维持机制的认识.     

微囊藻毒素和温度对萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)形态学特征的影响

近年来,随着全球变暖和水体富营养化程度的日趋严重,淡水湖泊藻类水华现象频发;由此引发的微囊藻毒素对水生生物的生态毒性效应备受关注.本实验探究了4个温度(16、20、24和28℃)和3个微囊藻毒素MC-LR浓度(2.0、4.0和6.0μg/ml)对4个品系萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)形态特征的影响.通过2种DNA分类方法——自动条形码查询系统和Yule溯祖模型将萼花臂尾轮虫划分为3个进化种;4个品系轮虫的形态学参数总体随温度升高呈减小趋势.在16℃下,轮虫的形态特征在各品系间未见显著差异;20℃下的昆明品系KMC23形态参数最小,而西宁XN2品系最大;在24℃下,西宁XN2品系的形态参数显著增大;兰州LZB1和西宁XN2品系对温度变化的响应特征相似且在28℃下最小,这可能与两者属于同一进化种有关.4个品系轮虫的卵特征参数对温度变化的响应各有不同.可见,品系和隐种的不同是造成4个轮虫克隆形态学参数对温度差异响应的重要内源性因素.各品系轮虫中,兰州LZB1品系受温度、MC-LR及两者交互作用的影响最为显著,形态可塑性最强.在高温胁迫下,兰州LZB1品系的所有形态学参数均显著减小,但MC-LR浓度对该品系轮虫的形态学参数并未产生显著影响;经低温胁迫后,低浓度的MC-LR没有显著改变兰州LZB1品系轮虫的形态学参数,而高浓度的MC-LR显著降低了轮虫的大部分形态学参数.微囊藻毒素对轮虫形态可塑性的影响受到了内源性因素和外源性因素的综合制约.     

温度对铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)和鱼腥藻(Anabaena sp.)生长及胞外有机物产生的影响

以巢湖优势种铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)和鱼腥藻(Anabaena sp.)为研究对象,研究不同温度(35、25和10℃)对这两种藻生长特性和胞外有机物产生的影响.结果表明,温度对铜绿微囊藻和鱼腥藻的藻细胞密度、碱性磷酸酶活性和胞外有机物浓度影响显著.25℃是铜绿微囊藻和鱼腥藻最适宜的生长温度,最高细胞密度分别达到3.12×107cells/ml和2.03×107 cells/ml.不同温度下两种藻的碱性磷酸酶活性特征,证实了高温对鱼腥藻生长的抑制和低温对铜绿微囊藻生长的抑制.胞外有机物释放总量受蓝藻生物量和单位细胞有机物释放速率的影响.铜绿微囊藻的溶解性有机碳和胞外总多糖释放量在25℃最高,最大值分别为49.28和38.46 mg/L;而鱼腥藻在35℃时释放量最高,最大值分别为45.82和40.60 mg/L;10℃条件抑制了两种藻的生长及胞外有机物的释放.鱼腥藻胞外多糖含量在35℃培养条件下最高,而铜绿微囊藻在10℃条件下最高,说明不利的生长条件会促进蓝藻胞外多糖的分泌.三维荧光图谱分析结果表明,铜绿微囊藻和鱼腥藻胞外有机物以类蛋白质和类腐殖酸为主,温度主要影响藻细胞胞外有机物浓度,而对有机物种类组成没有影响.     

同形溞(Daphnia similis)对幽蚊幼虫反捕食策略的模拟研究

枝角类溞会由于捕食者的存在而发生形态、行为、生活史等的变化.通过为期10 d对太湖春、夏季优势种同形溞(Daphnia similis)在有幽蚊幼虫(CL)、无幽蚊幼虫(CK)及培养过幽蚊幼虫的过滤水(FL)3个环境水平的模拟实验,发现同形溞在有幽蚊幼虫和培养过幽蚊幼虫的过滤水处理下平均体长、累积产仔数及平均产仔数均显著大于无幽蚊幼虫组,表明幽蚊幼虫释放的信息素能改变同形溞的体长、产仔数等生活史参数,这种改变会降低同形溞被捕食的风险.说明在自然环境下,幽蚊幼虫等无脊椎捕食者能通过直接捕食和信息素的间接作用共同影响枝角类种群.     

鄱阳湖河湖转换期间鱼腥藻(Anabaena)的变化

鄱阳湖作为我国长江目前仅存的两个通江湖泊之一,年内水位变幅巨大.通过在鄱阳湖2013年河湖转换期间(5—11月)对鄱阳湖主航道都昌段进行每月3~4次的高频监测,以考察鄱阳湖水体中鱼腥藻(Anabaena)的动态变化,分析鄱阳湖中鱼腥藻生长并占优势的影响因素.结果表明,蓝藻为鄱阳湖浮游植物的次级优势种,8月蓝藻生物量平均占浮游植物生物量的57%,蓝藻取代硅藻成为暂时的优势种.夏、秋季水华蓝藻以固氮鱼腥藻为主,主要与夏、秋季水温较高以及适宜的营养盐条件等有关.研究期间鄱阳湖水体氮磷比平均在15左右,鱼腥藻能够产生有固氮能力的异形胞,并在水华蓝藻中成为优势种,也反映了鄱阳湖某些湖区存在氮相对缺乏的阶段.     

温度、光照强度及硝酸盐对拟柱孢藻(Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii N8)生长的影响

以从南亚热带水库中分离的拟柱孢藻(Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii N8)为材料,研究了不同温度(12、16、20、24、28、32℃)、光照强度(6.6、12.4、21.5、30.7、62.9、106.4μmol/(m²·s))和硝态氮浓度(0.5、1、2、4、8、16、32、64、128 mg/L)下拟柱孢藻的生长特性.结果表明:在实验设置的温度范围(16~32℃)内拟柱孢藻能够正常生长;最适温度范围为24~28℃,在28℃条件下,具有最大比生长速率,为0.189 d^-1;当温度为12℃时,拟柱孢藻叶绿素a浓度一直降低,显著低于其他温度组(16~32℃).在6.6~106.4μmol/(m²·s)光照强度范围内,拟柱孢藻均呈指数增长趋势,最适光照强度为30.7μmol/(m²·s),其比生长速率达到最大值,为0.156 d^-1;高光照强度(62.9~106.4μmol/(m²·s))下拟柱孢藻的比生长速率显著大于低光照强度(6.6~12.4μmol/(m²·s))处理组.拟柱孢藻开始指数增长的最低硝态氮浓度为4 mg/L;硝态氮浓度为8 mg/L时,拟柱孢藻达到最大比生长速率(0.155 d^-1);当硝态氮浓度高于16 mg/L时比生长速率增加不显著.高硝态氮浓度组(16~128 mg/L)拟柱孢藻的叶绿素a浓度和比生长速率显著高于低硝态氮浓度组(0.5~2 mg/L).研究结果说明拟柱孢藻对温度、光照和氮源均有较宽的生态位,有利于在较大空间尺度上进行扩散.     

Dark induced reproductive inhibition of Daphnia carinata during the 1995 solar eclipse

Population of Daphnia carinata exposed to different times on the day showed sharp inhibition of reproduction (measured different life table data) on the day of solar eclipse as compared to pre- and post-eclipse days. Sudden fall of water temperature and abrupt change to darkness as prevailed during the solar eclipse were responsible for inhibition of reproduction in Daphnia carinata. Cold and dark induced reproductive inhibition was also confirmed in a simulated experiment mimicing eclipse reduction in light and temperature.     

Cloning and developmental expression of kinesin superfamily7 (kif7) in the brackish medaka (Oryzias melastigma), a close relative of the Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes)

kif7 is a member of the kinesin superfamily members which are molecular motor proteins that move along microtubules in a highly regulated manner through ATP hydrolysis. In this paper, we report on the cloning of the Oryzias melastigma kif7 (omkif7) using primers designed according to the Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) database. The cloned omkif7 has an open reading frame of 3762bp and is deduced to encode a polypeptide of 1254 amino acids that possesses the putative ATP-binding and microtubule-binding motifs in its motor domain at the N-terminal region. We characterized the cloned omkif7 by comparison with the zebrafish kif7. Both omkif7 and zebrafish kif7 are shown to be expressed in all embryonic stages and adult tissues examined with higher expression level in the testis and ovary. Whole-mount in situ hybridization revealed that the expression of omkif7 is ubiquitous during the early stages of embryonic development, but became more restrictive and localized to the brain, fin bud and eye at later development. This study suggested that the brackish O.melastigma can serve as a good seawater model organism for developmental studies by utilizing the resources developed from its close relative of the Japanese medaka.     

Differential piscivory of the native Percichthys trucha and exotic salmonids upon the native forage fish Galaxias maculatus in Patagonian Andean lakes

The present paper analyses predation patterns, of Percichthys trucha and salmonid fish upon Galaxias maculatus in five lakes of northern Patagonia with differing community and environmental characteristics. Tank experiments were performed to evaluate relative efficiency of native and exotic predators of G. maculatus under treatments with and without cover (aquatic vegetation). Important differences were found between predators with regards to distribution and consumption of G. maculatus. Salmonids are more efficient than P. trucha in consuming G. maculatus in deep environments with scarcely vegetation; in contrast to native species they frequently use the pelagic environment. Although pelagic habitat might have served in the past as a refuge from native predators in the past, G maculatus now experiences intense predation in the pelagic zone by exotic salmonids. It is suggested that the widespread distribution of G. maculatus in Patagonian lakes may have facilitated the success of salmonids throughout Patagonia.     

不同藻类对温度与磷叠加作用的响应模式

气候变暖对富营养化引起的蓝藻水华扩张具有叠加作用,为探索不同藻类对气候变暖与富营养化叠加作用的响应模式,选用富营养化水体常见藻类铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)、水华鱼腥藻(Anabaena flos-aquae)和斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)作为材料,采用室内培养方法,模拟春末不同升温幅度(20+3、23+3和20+6℃),5个磷浓度水平(0、0.05、0.15、0.30和0.50 mg/L),通过生长速率、光化学参数等的测定,分析不同藻类对温度升高和营养盐添加的生长与光化学响应.结果表明:3种藻的生长速率对温度和磷的叠加作用呈现不同的响应模式:随着磷浓度的升高,铜绿微囊藻的生长速率受温度的叠加作用不断增加,26℃时差异最大;水华鱼腥藻生长速率除在0.30 mg/L磷浓度时受温度叠加作用比较明显外,其他磷浓度水平均没有显著的叠加效应;斜生栅藻在不同磷浓度水平下受温度叠加作用影响有较大波动,但无明显差异.铜绿微囊藻对温度的叠加作用随着磷浓度的增加呈现逻辑斯蒂模式增长,而水华鱼腥藻和斜生栅藻均是在特定温度或特定营养盐浓度时呈现最大的叠加作用,叠加作用的趋势不明显.从Fv/Fm结果可知,铜绿微囊藻下降幅度明显高于水华鱼腥藻和斜生栅藻,随温度升高,磷浓度越高,铜绿微囊藻的Fv/Fm下降幅度越大,这可能是铜绿微囊藻在高生长速率下色素无法积累所致;水华鱼腥藻的Fv/Fm基本保持稳定,各组间差异较小;斜生栅藻的Fv/Fm在低磷浓度组明显低于高磷浓度组,并且随温度升高下降趋势增加,3种藻的光学特性响应反映了藻类在叠加作用下生长的变化.综上所述,铜绿微囊藻对温度上升与磷浓度的升高有更强的响应,导致其产生更高的生长速率,从而促进了蓝藻水华的扩张.     

Density control in Potamogeton perfoliatus L. and Potamogeton pectinatus L.

The effect of density on the growth, recruitment of new ramets, biomass allocation, rhizome spacer length and rhizome branching of the submersed macrophyte Potamogeton perfoliatus L. was experimentally evaluated in a mesocosm with three different initial shoot densities. The findings suggest that the number of primary shoots available in the beginning of the season can strongly influence patterns of growth and clonal reproduction. In contrast to many studies that found decreasing production parameters with plant density, ramet and biomass production of Potamogeton perfoliatus plants were highest at medium plant density. This is probably due to negative feed-back through crowding at high density and unclear negative effects at low density. Shoot allocation tended to increase with density, rhizome allocation tended to decrease with density and root biomass remained unchanged. At low density Potamogeton perfoliatus produced longer rhizome spacers and more branchings than at higher densities. Shorter rhizome spacers at high plant density probably restrict patch expansion and cause discrete patch shapes. A likely mechanism for plastic changes in clonal architecture is increasing competition for light at increasing density, but other density-dependent factors may also contribute.Investigations on propagule numbers of tubers and turions show that self-regulation of ramet number was associated with self-regulation of propagule number in both Potamogeton perfoliatus and Potamogeton pectinatus, with higher densities producing less propagules per plant.
