青岛近岸海域马粪海胆摄食的实验生态学研究

对采自青岛近岸海域的马粪海胆从其对各种饵料的选择和摄食吸收、温度与自身湿重对其摄食率的影响以及摄食活动特征等方面进行实验生态学研究。结果表明 ,马粪海胆在多种海藻并存的情况下 ,对海带及裙带菜等褐藻具明显的选择性 ,对石花菜及孔石莼等藻类的喜好性较差 ,但在食物匮乏条件下 ,马粪海胆的食谱则变得相当广泛。马粪海胆对裙带菜及海带的摄食率均明显高于孔石莼 ,但其对孔石莼的饵料吸收率则高于海带及裙带菜。马粪海胆的摄食受温度条件及自身湿重的影响 ,温度偏离适宜范围对摄食有抑制作用 ,日摄食率与湿重呈显著的指数下降关系 ,摄食率与湿重、温度因子可建立具较高可靠性的指数回归模型。马粪海胆对食物的口面吸附与对其摄食密切相关 ,其摄食活动与湿重呈显著的指数下降关系 ,而与排便活动呈显著的正相关 ,随湿重增加排便活动虽呈下降趋势 ,但未达显著水平。自然光照条件下马粪海胆的夜间摄食强度通常高于日间 ,但在全遮盖的无光照条件下这种昼夜摄食差异则变得不显著 ;对摄食活动的连续观测表明马粪海胆的摄食活动受光强变化的影响 ,其摄食活动的高峰出现在光强减弱的早间及傍晚 ,而日间的强光照环境会抑制其摄食活动     

光照和温度对氮饥饿及饱和营养条件下石莼(Ulva lactuca)的硝态氮吸收动力学影响

为探讨海藻养分吸收能力并以高效养分过滤器筛选为目标,以N饥饿和N饱和的石莼为材料,研究了3种光照及温度因子及其交互作用对不同N素营养限制状态下石莼NO3-吸收动力学特征的影响。结果表明:N饱和条件下,随着光照的增强,石莼对NO3-的最大吸收速率也增加;30℃条件下,光照强度的增加虽然使得其最大吸收速率提高,但Vmax/Km在中等光强下最大;20℃最有利于石莼对NO3-的吸收。N饥饿条件下,石莼对NO3-的吸收速率显著大于非饥饿状态。在10℃和20℃条件下,呈现与N饱和条件下相似的规律,但在30℃条件下,中等光强石莼对NO3-的最大吸收速率最高。在10℃和20℃条件下,增加光强促进石莼对NO3-的吸收,但30℃条件下光强的增加并未起到促进作用。饥饿状态下的石莼的NO3-吸收速率较高,当石莼吸收NO3-饱和时,依然可以以较低的速率继续吸收环境中的NO3-。     

初夏渤海湾初级生产力分布特征及影响因素

根据2016年初夏在渤海湾周边重要经济开发区外海域所进行的调查和研究数据进行分析,利用稳定同位素¹³C示踪技术估算海域内初级生产力（Primary Productivity,PP）等,同时结合叶绿素a（Chlorophyll-a,Chl a）,营养盐以及透明度等水文环境参数,深入分析和探讨初夏渤海湾环境特征对浮游植物生物量（Chl a）和初级生产力的影响。结果表明：受陆地径流和渤海中部冷流输入等因素的影响,调查海域呈现3个温盐特征差异显著的海区,即近岸高温低盐海区、中部高温高盐海区和湾口低温高盐海区。Chl a受温度和营养盐等因素影响整体呈现近岸高湾口低、表层高底层低的分布特征,含量变化范围为1.27-20.82 mg/m³;在近岸营养盐含量充足,温度适宜,浮游植物生产旺盛,Chl a平均含量达（8.37±2.90）mg/m³,其中表层近27.5%水样中含量超10 mg/m³,存在发生赤潮的风险。而在中部和湾口区域受营养盐限制和温度的影响,Chl a含量远低于近岸。PP整体水平在44.79-792.73 mg C m^-3 d^-1之间,平均为（144.13±137.79）mg C m^-3 d^-1。其中近岸营养盐含量充足浮游植物生长旺盛,初级生产力水平较高,而中部和湾口海域受营养盐和温度的限制,初级生产力水平较低。初级生产力指数I（同化系数）变化范围在0.79-5.90 mg C/（mg Chl a·h）之间,平均为（3.40±1.33）mg C/（mg Chl a·h）。利用标准深度积分模型对水柱初级生产力（Depth-integrated primary productivity,∑PP）进行估算,结果表明其范围在56.88-772.31 mg C m^-2 d^-1之间,平均为（232.26±126.47）mg C m^-2 d^-1,近岸受陆源输入影响Chl a较高,在天津海河口和黄骅市排污河外出现高值点,受透明度的影响,中部和湾口部分站点出现高生产力区。     

香果树(Emmenopterys henryi)幼苗生长特性和叶绿素荧光对不同光强的响应

研究了室内人工气候箱中相对高、中和低（（5000±230）lx、（2200±110）lx和（1000±80）lx）光强下香果树幼苗的生长特性及荧光参数的动态变化,结果表明,中光强下的幼苗生长迅速,株高和生物量一直维持最高水平;高光强下的幼苗,生长极其缓慢,株高和生物量均处于最低水平;低光强下的幼苗比叶面积最大;而根冠比则以高光强下的为最高;叶绿素（a＋b）含量在低光强下最高,中光下次之,强光下最小。前期,低光强下幼苗叶片的叶绿素a/b值较大,随着幼苗的生长呈下降的趋势,120d后与其他处理相比达到最小。荧光参数的结果显示,高光强下,香果树幼苗的电子传递速率（ETR）、光化学猝灭系数（qP）和非光化学猝灭系数（qNP）均处于最低水平,而测定初始荧光（Fo）和最大荧光（Fm）却处于最高水平,在低和中光强下则刚好相反。由此可见,高光强对香果树幼苗生长极其不利,而低和中光强下生长较好。建议在室内培育香果树幼苗时,适当减弱光强,保证其正常生长。     

环境条件对伸展摇蚊实验种群繁育的影响

以伸展摇蚊为研究对象,重点考察了温度、光强对各生命阶段存活率和发育速率、成虫性别比和繁殖力以及种群动态的综合影响。通过F检验不同温度相同光照条件下摇蚊卵、幼虫和蛹的存活率的回归方程和和回归系数,发现了在相同的光强(800 lx或2000 lx)条件下,15—35℃温度范围内,摇蚊幼虫和蛹两种形态存活率与温度之间均呈显著相关,而幼虫期摇蚊的存活率比蛹期更易受温度影响,但是,温度变化并没有显著影响卵的存活率;且15℃和35℃两个极端温度不适合摇蚊的生存和繁育。其次通过正交试验,对在2个温度(15℃和30℃)和2种光强(800 lx和2000 lx)两种因素组合作用下的摇蚊存活率和发育速率进行极差分析和双因素方差分析,得到伸展摇蚊种群繁育的最佳条件为25℃,800 lx的结论,且两种因素对于摇蚊成虫的雌雄比影响并不显著,但是温度对三者(存活率、发育速率和雌雄比)的影响远大于光强。最后通过单因素方差分析关于不同光照和温度下对成虫繁殖力的结果,以及相同光照和温度下不同湿度(45%、65%、85%和95%)对成虫繁殖力的结果,总结出在25—30℃,800 lx光强下伸展摇蚊维持良好生命活力、顺利完成繁殖发育过程,85%—95%的相对湿度可以使羽化成虫保持较高的产卵水平。并根据所观察的种群生殖力资料计算得到相应温度(25℃和30℃)和光照条件(800 lx和2000 lx)组合下的实验种群繁殖特征生命表。结果表明在800 lx光强、25—30℃条件下,摇蚊能维持较高的种群净增殖率(R_0)与内禀增长率(r_m)。综上所述,25℃温度,800 lx光强和85%的湿度的条件更适合伸展摇蚊种群繁育。此结果为建立伸展摇蚊室内繁育的标准化条件及相应的种群发展规律和构建本土摇蚊种的毒性测试方法奠定了基础。     

饥饿对月鳢几项血液指标的影响

对体长145．77±12．21cm,体重35．42±8．51g的月鳢（Channa asiatica）在正常摄食和饥饿4～20d状态下的几项血液指标进行了恻定。结果表明：饥饿组与对照组相比,随着饥饿时间的延长,月鳢的红细胞数量极显著减少（P〈0．01）;血红蛋白含量在前8d内是升高的,随后下降;血液中红细胞的渗透脆性有所上升,16d和20d差异显著（P〈0．05）;白细胞数量在整个饥饿期间一直呈上升趋势,在饥饿的第8d的测试中,白细胞数量的增加差异显著（P〈0．05）,12d以后的测试中白细胞数量的增加差异极显著（P〈0．01）。     

濒危植物香果树种子萌发特性研究

论文研究了濒危植物香果树(Emmenopterys henryi)种子萌发特性。通过室内萌发实验初步检测了香果树种子的休眠, 采用靛蓝检验法检测了生活力, 通过室内室外条件的贮藏检验了种子寿命, 通过人工气候箱研究了萌发对温度、光强条件(9—24 ℃, 500—9000 lx交互)的响应。结果表明: 香果树果实成熟后, 种子无明显的休眠, 有生活力种子75.3%±7.9%, 无生活力10.9%±9.2%, 空粒6.5%±1.8%, 涩粒7.4%±6.4%; 贮藏四个月, 室内外贮藏种子萌发率高于78.6%±6.5%, 贮藏八个月, 室外贮藏种子全部失去活力, 贮藏一年, 室内贮藏种子萌发率20.2%±8.3%。无光照时香果树种子不萌发; 在500—9000 lx处理下, 12—24 ℃香果树种子最终萌发率均高于90%, 9 ℃下均低于80%。9 ℃时, 光强显著影响最终萌发率, 500 lx下为33.3%±6.9%, 3000 lx下为70.3%±4.2%。温度升高, 香果树种子平均萌发周期缩短, 萌发指数及活力指数上升。在12℃、15 ℃下的2000 lx、3000 lx下平均萌发周期显著低其他光强处理下, 萌发指数显著高于其他光强处理。总体上, 12 ℃、15 ℃时, 光强增强, 活力指数在500—3000 lx上升, 在3000—9000 lx间下降。在温度较高的18 ℃、21 ℃、24 ℃下, 平均萌发周期, 萌发指数, 活力指数受光强的影响明显弱于12 ℃、15 ℃下。野外香果树种子萌发期间, 野外环境温度在12—18 ℃之间,光照强度对香果树种子萌发有重要影响。合适的光照环境(1000—3000 lx)可能是野外香果树种子萌发、幼苗建植的关键。     

环境因素对缢蛏受精卵孵化率影响的研究

本文主要探讨了几种环境因素(温度、盐度、pH值、密度、化肥施用量及藻类)对缢蛏受精卵孵化率的影响。研究结果表明:受精卵孵化最佳条件为:温度20—25℃;pH值为7.0—8.5;适盐范围随亲蛏来源不同而异,来自低盐区的,最适盐度8—12‰,而来自高盐区的,15—30‰,温度可影响其适盐范围,25℃左右,其范围最广;受精卵的密度以50粒/毫升以下为宜;保持低浓度的藻类对其孵化有利;施用2ppm以下的硫酸铵和尿素,可促进藻类繁殖,对受精卵孵化的影响不大。     

急性捕食风险不能完全限制饥饿 雌性长爪沙鼠的觅食活动

觅食活动是动物生存和繁殖所必需的基本的活动,受个体生理状态（如饥饿）和环境状况（如捕食、食物可利用性）时空变化的影响,能量状态-风险分配假说指出,动物在应对不同风险时会优化觅食和反捕食努力的时间和能量分配。然而,有关啮齿动物觅食决策的能量状态-捕食风险分配假说的研究结论尚不统一。本研究在野外实验室以艾鼬（Mustela eversmannii）气味作为捕食风险刺激源,以非捕食者（马）气味源作为对照,首先通过Y型观测箱检验雌性饥饿长爪沙鼠（Meriones unguiculatus）对捕食者气味的辨别能力（Wilcoxon 秩检验）;在此基础上通过中立场行为观测箱分别测定饥饿雌鼠在“有食物和天敌气味源”与“有食物和非天敌气味源”环境下的觅食活动,采用Mann-Whitney Z检验比较两者间的行为差异,以验证急性捕食风险限制饥饿沙鼠觅食活动的假设,并探讨动物在饥饿风险与捕食风险共存情况下的觅食行为对策。结果显示,（1）长爪沙鼠对天敌气味反应明显,厌恶和回避有较高潜在捕食风险的空间;（2）虽然觅食潜伏期在捕食风险存在时有所增加,但急性捕食风险并未影响饥饿沙鼠的觅食频次,沙鼠通过缩短每次觅食的持续时间来应对捕食风险;与此同时,（3）饥饿沙鼠在急性捕食风险条件下对环境探究的次数明显增加,一定程度上提高反捕食努力,且自我修饰表现显著,以缓释捕食压力的恐惧效应。这些结果表明,急性捕食风险不能完全抑制饥饿沙鼠的觅食努力,在有捕食风险情况下,饥饿的长爪沙鼠会权衡觅食获取能量和避免捕食的收益和代价,优化觅食策略。本研究结果支持能量状态-风险分配假说关于在短期高风险情况下反捕食努力分配更多,但当动物在饥饿风险持续时间比例显著增加时,动物最终也必须在高风险情况下觅食的预测,也反映了长爪沙鼠对食物资源不可预测及捕食风险高的干旱半干旱荒漠环境的行为适应对策。     

黑斑原仔稚鱼藏匿行为研究

文章研究了黑斑原 (Glyptosternum maculatum)仔稚鱼对缝隙的喜好行为、对底质颜色及种类的选择行为, 旨在优化苗种培育模式, 改善其养殖条件。结果表明: 黑斑原仔稚鱼对缝隙的喜好日间(7:00—20:00)显著高于夜间(21:00—6:00; P<0.05); 开口22d、23d和25—30d对缝隙无喜好行为(P>0.05), 且夜间(开口6d、11—13d除外)对缝隙无喜好行为(P>0.05); 开口12d、13d、15d和24d仔稚鱼表现出对较小缝隙(0.9 cm)的喜好性(P<0.05); 开口2d和3d仔稚鱼表现出对底层缝隙的喜好性(P<0.05); 开口5d、6d、8—21d和24d仔稚鱼表现出对表层缝隙的喜好性(P<0.05); 在(400±50) lx光补偿条件下仔稚鱼对底质颜色无明显的喜好性; 在(10±2) lx光补偿条件下仔稚鱼对黑色底质的喜好性显著于白色底质(P<0.05)。仔稚鱼日间具有较强的藏匿行为, 喜好藏匿于较小的缝隙中, 并在弱光补偿条件下喜好黑色底质。仔稚鱼的藏匿特点, 为优化苗种培育和改善苗种培育环境提供了重要的科学依据。

Cleavage initiation activities of microtubules and in vitro reassembled tubulins of sperm flagella.

Cleavage of fish (Oryzias latipes) eggs was induced by injection of heterologous (sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus and oyster Crassostrea gigas) sperm microtubules. Cleavage initiating CI activity of microtubules was higher in 3% PVP suspension than in 6% BSA, and not affected significantly by the concentration of microtubules themselves. The CI activity of microtubules suspended in 3% PVP was comparatively stable in the frozen state. Heat-treatment at more than 55 degrees C resulted in the loss of most or all of their CI activity. Such activity was observed in side-by-side aggregates of tubulin linear polymers of sea urchin (Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) spermatozoa but not in dispersed linear polymers or tubulin dimers. Microtubules with CI activity seem to participate in initiating cleavage as astral centers, or a "seed" for polymerization of ooplasmic tubulins in activated eggs.     

Potential of veg2 blastomeres to induce endoderm differentiation in sea urchin embryos

Two different modes of gastrulation in sea urchin embryos have been reported. The first mode, reported in Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus and some other species, consists of two phases: a primary and a secondary invagination. The second mode involves gastrulation with a continuous convolution of cells near the blastopore; this mode has been reported to occur in the embryos of the sand dollar, Scaphechinus mirabilis. The rudimentary gut is comprised of fewer cells in the embryos of the former species than in the latter. We assumed that the differences in gastrulation modes could be related to the different potentials of the veg2 layer to induce endoderm differentiation in the upper layer. In the present study, we produced chimeric embryos consisting of an animal cap recombined with veg2 layer blastomere(s) to compare the inductive effect of the veg2 layer and/or the blastomere(s) in H. pulcherrimus and S. mirabilis embryos. Our results showed that the inductive effect of the veg2 layer is stronger in S. mirabilis embryos than in H. pulcherrimus embryos. Moreover, it was suggested that the difference in the strength of inductive effects of veg2 layers is related to the difference in gastrulation modes.     

A cyto-embryological study of gastrulation in the sand dollar, Scaphechinus mirabilis

Processes of gastrulation in the sand dollar Scaphechinus mirabilis were compared with those in the sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus , which seemed to show a typical pattern of gastrulation. Measurement of the archenteron length clearly demonstrated that invagination processes in H. pulcherrimus are divided into two phases, the primary and secondary invagination. On the other hand, invagination in S. mirabilis was revealed to continue at a constant rate. To see the movement of cells during gastrulation, embryos were labeled with Nile blue. In H. pulcherrimus embryos, labeled cells were observed along the full length of the archenteron, if the embryos had been labeled before and during the primary invagination. Labeled cells were never observed in the embryos stained after the primary invagination. In contrast, labeled cells were always discerned at the basal part of the archenteron in S. mirabilis , even if the embryos were stained after invagination had undergone considerable progress. The number of cells in the archenteron of S. mirabilis embryos increased with the advancement of gastrulation, while the numbers were almost constant in H. pulcherrimus . These results suggest that the cellular basis of gastrulation in S. mirabilis is quite different from that in well-known species of sea urchins.     

Ectoderm exerts the driving force for gastrulation in the sand dollar Scaphechinus mirabilis

How the ectodermal layer relates to the invagination processes was examined in the sand dollar Scaphechinus mirabilis. When the turgor pressure of blastocoele was increased, invagination was completely blocked. In contrast, an increase in turgor pressure did not affect elongation of the gut rudiment in the regular echinoid Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. Rhodamine-phalloidin staining showed that the distribution of actin filaments was different between two species of embryos. In S. mirabilis gastrulating embryos, abundant actin filaments were seen at the basal cortex of ectoderm in addition to archenteron cells, while the intense signal was restricted to the archenteron in H. pulcherrimus. To investigate whether actin filaments contained in the ectodermal layer exert the force of invagination, a small part of the ectodermal layer was aspirated with a micropipette. If S. mirabilis embryos were aspirated from the onset of gastrulation, invagination did not occur at all, irrespective of the suction site. Even after the archenteron had invaginated to one-half of its full length, further elongation of the archenteron was severely blocked by suction of the lateral ectoderm. In contrast, suction of the ectodermal layer did not affect the elongation processes in H. pulcherrimus. These results strongly suggest that the ectodermal layer, especially in the vegetal half, exerts the driving force of invagination in S. mirabilis.     

Multiple molecular forms of acid nitrophenyl phosphatase in sea urchin eggs and embryos

Acid nitrophenyl phosphatases from sea urchin eggs and embryos were investigated by gel filtration. Four different forms were found in Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, and three forms in Anthocidaris crassispina and Pseudocentrotus depressus. The first and second forms (designated AcP-1 and AcP-2) had the highest activity in the range of pH 5.6–6.0. The third (designated AcP-3) had an apparent optimum pH between pH 4.3 and 4.8, and the fourth (designated AcP-4) showed the maximum activity at pH 3.0. AcP-1 was much more thermolabile than AcP-2 and AcP-3 at 56°C. NaF inhibited AcP-2, AcP-3, and AcP-4 but not AcP-1. AcP-1, AcP-2, and AcP-3 were observed in the three species, whereas AcP-4 was not detected in A. crassispina and P. depressus. AcP-1, AcP-2, and AcP-3 were separted by gel filtration. AcP-1 and AcP-2 of A. crassispina and H. pulcherrimus were studied in developing embryos. The behavior of these forms in gel filtration changed during development, from unfertilized eggs to the pluteus stage.     

The amino acid sequence, immunofluorescence and microinjection studies on the 15 kDa calcium-binding protein from sea urchin egg

The 15 kDa protein is the most abundant low molecular weight Ca2+-binding protein, different from calmodulin, in eggs of sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. The data from the amino acid sequence demonstrated that the 15 kDa protein belonged to the troponin C superfamily. Based on immunofluorescent and immunomicroscopic observations, we showed that the 15 kDa protein localized in the nuclei of fertilized eggs and mitotic apparatus of dividing eggs. Microinjection of the antibody against 15 kDa protein into sea urchin blastomeres resulted in the arresting of cell division. These results suggest that the 15 kDa protein plays an important role in mitosis of sea urchin egg.     

Some more speract derivatives associated with eggs of sea urchins, Pseudocentrotus depressus, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus and Anthocidaris crassispina

1. Fourteen peptides were isolated from the egg jelly of sea urchins, Pseudocentrotus depressus, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus and Anthocidaris crassispina and their amino acid sequences were determined. 2. The peptides stimulated H. pulcherrimus sperm respiration one half-maximally at about 8-60 pM. 3. Addition of speract to intact spermatozoa of P. depressus, H. pulcherrimus and A. crassispina resulted in the appearance of a newly stained protein (Mr 128,000 for P. depressus, Mr 128,000 for H. pulcherrimus and Mr 131,000 for A. crassispina) on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels.     

Phosphatidylcholine metabolism for energy production in sea urchin spermatozoa

Sea urchin spermatozoa use endogenous phosphatidylcholine (PC) to produce energy for swimming. The catabolism of PC was studied in Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus spermatozoa. Following incubation in sea water, the content of PC decreased and that of choline increased gradually, whereas phosphocholine maintained a constant level. Measurement of the radioactivity in metabolites converted from 1-palmitoyl-2-[1-14C]linoleoyl-PC, [choline-methyl-14C]dipalmitoyl-PC and 1-[1-14C]palmitoyl-lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC) showed that the major degradative pathway is PC----LysoPC----glycerophosphocholine----choline. 1-Palmitoyl-2-[1-14C]linoleoyl-PC and [1-14C]oleic acid were oxidized to 14CO2 in a cell-free system of spermatozoa. Sea urchin spermatozoa thus appear to quite likely obtain energy through the oxidation of fatty acid(s) from PC.     

Isolation and characterization of cDNA encoding a spicule matrix protein in Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus micromeres.

A cDNA clone, termed pHPSMC, was obtained from the Japanese sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, and it was found to be highly homologous in sequence to the spicule matrix protein cDNA of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Sucov et al., Dev. Biol. 120: 507-519, 1987). During early embryogenesis, mRNA complementary to pHPSMC appeared in gastrulae and remained at a similar level until the pluteus stage. In situ hybridization revealed that the mRNA was localized exclusively in primary mesenchyme cells in gastrulae. pHPSMC mRNA was detected in micromeres in vitro after 48 h of culture, but it was not found in blastomeres immediately after isolation. These features suggested that pHPSMC represents the spicule matrix protein cDNA cognate in Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. In the derived polypeptide, we detected a domain containing a tandemly repeated 13-amino acid sequence as did Sucov et al. (1987). Unexpectedly, the sequence of the repeated element was completely different from that originally reported for Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, but it was very similar to the corrected sequence that appeared recently.
