榕树在西双版纳热带雨林生态系统中的作用

榕树是西双版纳热带雨林中的关键植物类群之一,能够为多种生物提供栖息地和食物,从而维持该地区热带雨林生态系统的物种多样性。一些种类的榕树有绞杀特性,在森林更新演替中能够起到积极的作用;还有些种类的榕树是先锋物种,在植被恢复中起重要作用。但是,近些年对西双版纳的过度开发已经使热带雨林片断化,榕树种群数量大量减少,榕果内的寄生蜂、食榕果动物也受到了不同程度的影响。保护好西双版纳热带雨林中关键植物类群榕树,是保护和恢复热带雨林生态系统的重要措施之一。     

西双版纳地区两种榕树上黄猄蚁生活习性调查

黄猄蚁Oecophylla smaragdina,织叶蚁属,是热带亚洲地区很常见的一种捕食性蚂蚁。在西双版纳地区黄猄蚁常见在多种榕树上筑巢繁衍和生活。研究榕树上生活黄猄蚁的生活习性对于了解黄猄蚁与榕蜂互惠系统间的相互影响具有重要意义。本文选取西双版纳最常见的垂叶榕和高榕两种榕树和树上筑巢的黄猄蚁作为研究材料。观察研究黄猄蚁在一年内三个季节的活动情况;黄猄蚁在榕树上的筑巢位置;黄猄蚁对食物和光的选择;黄猄蚁对榕小蜂的捕食。结果发现：（1）黄猄蚁的活动在三个季节间有明显差异,其活动强度、活动时间依次为雨季＞干热季＞雾凉季;（2）黄猄蚁在不同的榕树会选择不同的位置筑巢,在垂叶榕上,它们主要在树顶部筑巢,而在高山榕上则在杈下垂的小枝条上筑巢;（3）黄猄蚁食性的研究中我们进一步证实了黄猄蚁为肉食性蚂蚁。在黄猄蚁的光反应实验中我们发现黄猄蚁偏好光亮处,而且在光亮处的黄猄蚁活动强度明显大于黑暗处;（4）榕小蜂是榕树上黄猄蚁重要的食物来源,而且黄猄蚁捕食榕小蜂的种类是与榕树的发育时期密切相关,在花前期和间花期黄猄蚁以捕食非传粉榕小蜂为主,而在雌花期和雄花期会捕食传粉榕小蜂,所以榕树上栖息的黄猄蚁在花前期和间花期对榕树-榕小蜂互利共生有利,而雌花期和雄花期由于取食传粉榕小蜂,则对榕蜂互利共生产生负面影响。

西双版纳生物多样性保护和可持续发展研究:本论文集的说明

西双版纳是保存有大面积热带森林的地区,倍受海内外的关注.从本世纪30～40年代到90年代的研究表明西双版纳处于热带亚热带过渡地带的特殊性,其生态环境和生物成分不仅在生物演化中意义显要而且也是发展地方经济的重要资源.西双版纳为多民族聚居区,居住着傣族、爱尼族约20个民族或未定族群.各民族有其特殊的土地和自然资源利用传统.随着人口增加和经济发展,特别是橡胶种植的扩大,严重地损坏了西双版纳的热带森林及其生态环境,也使优秀传统文化在丧失.保护生态环境和优秀传统文化成了西双版纳可持续发展的关键.     

野生榕树的人工种殖技术

榕 (Ficus microcarpa)为桑科树木 ,四季常青 ,具有庞大的树冠和气根 ,常被人们广植在庭院 ,也是盆景制作和城镇绿化的好材料。榕属种类很多 ,全世界有 10 0 0多种 ,主产于热带、亚热带 ,我国约有 12 0种 ,南方各省均有分布 ,而台湾、云南最多 ,约占一半以上 ,主要分布在亚热带森林和热带雨林中。榕树适应性强 ,极易栽培成活 ,因此人们常用人工插枝方法繁殖 ,也就导致一些当地人为谋取私利 ,上山砍伐榕树枝条或挖掘榕树老桩 ,导致野生榕树资源的破坏 ,林业部门采取了相应的保护措施 ,禁止砍挖和收购榕树。针对这种情况和为了适应人们对榕树…     

热带雨林片断化对榕小蜂和榕树物种的影响

榕树是热带雨林生态系统中的一类关键物种。榕树必须依靠榕小传数值和获得有性繁殖;而榕小蜂的幼虫又必须依靠榕树瘿花为食才能生长生长和繁衍后代,因此二者间有着密切的共生关系。研究表明：在西双版纳热带雨林榕小蜂科有３属１７种分布。热带十麻片断化使榕小蜂和榕树的种类呈明显下降趋势;片断热带雨林面积的大小二对二得的物种娄和个体数有明显的影响。

Complementary fruiting phenologies facilitate sharing of one pollinator fig wasp by two fig trees

Aims Most pollinator fig wasps are host plant specific, with each species only breeding in the figs of one fig tree species, but increasing numbers of species are known to be pollinated by more than one fig wasp, and in rare instances host switching can result in Ficus species sharing pollinators. In this study, we examined factors facilitating observed host switching at Xishuangbanna in Southwestern (SW) China, where Ficus squamosa is at the northern edge of its range and lacks the fig wasps that pollinate it elsewhere, and its figs are colonized by a Ceratosolen pollinator that routinely breeds in figs of F. heterostyla .Methods We recorded the habitat preferences of F. squamosa and F. heterostyla at Xishuangbanna, and compared characteristics such as fig size, location and colour at receptive phase. Furthermore, the vegetative and reproductive phenologies in the populations of F. squamosa and F. heterostyla were recorded weekly at Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden for 1 year.Important findings Ficus squamosa is a shrub found near fast-flowing rivers, F. heterostyla is a small tree of disturbed forest edges. Although preferring different habitats, they can be found growing close together. Both species have figs located at or near ground level, but they differ in size when pollinated. Fig production in F. squamosa was concentrated in the colder months. F. heterostyla produced more figs in summer but had some throughout the year. The absence of its normal pollinators, in combination with similarly located figs and partially complementary fruiting patterns appear to have facilitated colonization of F. squamosa by the routine pollinator of F. heterostyla. The figs probably also share similar attractant volatiles. This host switching suggests one mechanism whereby fig trees can acquire new pollinators and emphasizes the likely significance of edges of ranges in the genesis of novel fig tree–fig wasp relationships.     

榕小蜂温度耐受性及其对种间共存关系的影响

全球已知有约800种榕属(Ficus)植物, 主要分布在热带, 部分种类延伸至亚热带地区。温度是限制榕‒蜂共生系统分布北界的主要因素, 也显著影响榕树及其榕小蜂的繁殖成功, 其中榕小蜂对温度的响应更加敏感。榕小蜂只有在一定的温度范围内才能保持正常的生理机能, 其对温度耐受能力直接影响榕果内小蜂种群数量和群落内种间关系。然而目前对榕小蜂温度耐受性的研究尚少, 榕小蜂的温度耐受能力如何影响榕果内小蜂的共存关系还未见报道。本文研究了分布于西双版纳的2种雌雄同株和1种雌雄异株榕树果内传粉榕小蜂和非传粉小蜂的温度耐受能力。结果表明: 3种传粉榕小蜂对高温的耐受性极差, 相对于雌雄同株的高榕(F. altissima)和聚果榕(F. racemosa)传粉榕小蜂, 雌雄异株的鸡嗉子榕(F. semicordata)传粉榕小蜂对低温有增强的耐受趋势。聚果榕小蜂群落结构显示: 在适宜其生长的西双版纳地区, 传粉榕小蜂的数量占绝对优势, 在温度较低的季节其数量显著减少; 而非传粉榕小蜂呈相反模式, 较强的温度耐受能力使其在低温的雾凉季维持了较高的种群数量。鸡嗉子榕果内非传粉小蜂Sycoscapter trifemmensis相对于Philotrypesis dunia有更强的温度耐受能力, 在种群数量和种间关系上有更多的竞争优势及数量。榕小蜂的温度耐受性差异在物种分布、种间关系的维持和共存上起了重要作用, 本研究结果为阐明榕小蜂种间共存的维持机制提供了科学依据。     

西双版纳鸡嗉果榕小蜂繁殖和传粉行为

鸡嗉果榕 Ficus semicordata Buch.-Ham.ex J. E. Sm.是西双版纳地区常见的榕属植物,它是热带雨林生态系统中的一类先锋树种,当热带雨林被破坏后,它最先在林缘、沟谷和路边迅速生长起来,是热带和亚热带地区森林生态系统恢复初期一类重要物种。在西双版纳通过不同样地定树、定期生态学观察和室内剖查不同生长时期的鸡嗉果榕隐头果的方法,对榕小蜂繁殖和传粉行为进行了研究,结果表明,鸡嗉果榕雌雄异株,在西双版纳一年结2～3次隐头果,雌株隐头果内小花由榕小蜂传粉后产生种子。雄株则产生雄花和中性小花,中性小花专门供给传粉小蜂产卵繁殖后代。鸡嗉果榕小蜂Ceratosolen gravelyi Grandi是鸡嗉果榕唯一的传粉昆虫。传粉小蜂的雄蜂比雌蜂早羽化30～90 min,一部分雄虫羽化后,在虫瘿上爬动寻找雌蜂寄生的瘿花,一找到雌蜂寄生的瘿花,就咬破虫瘿的一个小口,把生殖器伸进瘿花与雌蜂交配,一部分雄蜂则在果肉上咬出蜂口。雌蜂交配后,顶大交配孔出蜂爬到雄花区采集花粉,然后,飞出寻找鸡嗉果榕雌花期的嫩隐头果传粉和繁殖后代。到鸡嗉果榕雌株传粉的小蜂能飞翔300～500 m,进果腔传粉行为长达5～27 h,传完粉3～5 h在果腔内死亡。到雄株上繁殖的小蜂一般飞翔在20～100 m左右近距离寻找嫩隐头果,进果腔产卵,每只小蜂在无干扰的情况下可产400多粒卵。除传粉榕小蜂外,在鸡嗉果榕雄株隐头果上还有4种植食、造瘿和复寄生等非传粉小蜂,它们对传粉小蜂的种群繁衍影响很大,常使传粉小蜂的种群数量降低25～70%。每个隐头果内进传粉小蜂量多少对鸡嗉果榕和榕小蜂繁殖有关,最佳进蜂量为3只,高或低于最佳进蜂量对鸡嗉果榕树和它的传粉小蜂繁殖均不利。     

西双版纳热带雨林对叶榕传粉生物学

研究了西双版纳热带雨林地区雌雄异株植物对叶榕(Ficus hispida L.)的生物学、传粉物候学以及榕小蜂(Ceratosolen solmsi marchali Mayr)的传粉和繁殖行为.研究结果表明:雌雄异株的对叶榕与其他雌雄同株的榕属植物不同,它的种子形成与传粉者有着更为复杂的相互关系.对叶榕一年结隐花果6～8次,结果高峰期4～5次,其中雄性植株仅产生花粉和孕育榕小蜂,而雌性植株(无雄蕊)则需榕小蜂带花粉进入隐花果内,进行传粉授精,使之发育成种子.对叶榕的成熟花粉不能从花药开裂处自行散发出来,必须由榕小蜂采集才能散落.榕小蜂雌蜂羽化、交配后,找到雄花区,用足、触角、口器在推动中采集花粉.雌蜂飞出熟榕果找寻雌株或雄株榕树上的幼嫩隐花果,一般需3～67 min;一部分雌蜂在雄株中寻找幼嫩的隐花果,进去产卵繁殖,另一部分雌蜂则寻找雌株雌花期嫩隐花果进去传粉.雌蜂在雌株榕树的隐花果内传粉时间为15～23 h,在雄株榕树的隐花果内产卵时间为6～9 h.对叶榕小蜂在雌株上进入单个隐花果的数量多少关系到雌花结实率;观察表明,每个隐花果最佳进蜂数为2头;榕小蜂传粉后榕树成熟种子形成率在54.1%～82.5%之间,平均为73.8%;而在雄株上雌蜂进蜂数量则关系到榕小蜂在隐花果内的产卵率,每个隐花果最佳进蜂数为3～4头,产卵率在72.3%～93.8%之间,平均为84.4%.

The community structure of bird assemblages on urban strangler figs

Figs have been regarded as keystone plant resources that support diverse tropical vertebrate frugivore communities. Planting or conserving large fig trees, such as stranglers, have therefore been proposed for enhancing urban biodiversity. We compared the diversity and community structure of bird assemblages on strangler figs with non‐fig urban trees as well as between the fruiting and non‐fruiting fig trees in an urban setting in Singapore. The total bird abundance across all the fig trees when in fruit was 4.5‐fold higher than on non‐fig trees and 3.5‐fold higher than when the same fig trees were not fruiting, but only attracted two more species. On individual trees, after accounting for the presence of mistletoes, tree height, the area covered by buildings, road lane density, and the distance to natural vegetation, mean diversity was not different between non‐fig trees and fig trees when they were not in fruit. On the other hand, when fruiting, each fig tree on average had 1.4 more species, 3 more counts of non‐native birds, and 1.6 more counts of insectivorous birds than when not fruiting. There was significant compositional turnover between non‐fig trees and non‐fruiting fig trees, while community dispersion was significantly lower among fig trees in fruit. Our results demonstrate that fig trees provide fruit and non‐fruit resources for birds in an urban landscape but do not necessarily support more diverse total bird assemblages than non‐fig trees. Instead, bird communities on fruiting urban figs would be highly homogeneous and dominated by a few species. Abstract in Malay is available with online material.     

歪叶榕繁殖生态学

该文主要从物候学、行为学和生态学3个方面首次研究报道了我国西双版纳热带雨林下的一种榕树——歪叶榕(Ficus cyrtophylla)的繁殖机制。研究结果表明,歪叶榕榕小蜂(Blastophaga sp.)是歪叶榕唯一的传粉昆虫,传粉行为方式为被动传粉,而且这种榕小蜂也只能在该种榕树中成功繁衍后代。物候学观察结果表明,歪叶榕常绿且叶量常年变化较小,10~11月和3~4月是歪叶榕雄株落叶的高峰期,这时正值西双版纳的雾凉季和干热季,而雌株的落叶高峰期是3~4月;12月和5月是歪叶榕雄株新叶萌发的高峰期,而4~5月是其雌株新叶萌发的高峰期,这时正值西双版纳干热季向雨季过渡的时期,新叶萌发后同时伴随着一次该种榕树的挂果高峰期;歪叶榕在种群水平上常年持续结果,在每年的11月和4~5月有两次结果高峰期,单株每年大量结果2~3次;单棵雄株内结果异步性较高,而雌株内结果高度同步。单果进蜂数(Foundress number)为0~5只,大多数雄果(78.45%)和雌果(84.25%)只有1只传粉榕小蜂,大约16.02%的雄果和13.33%的雌果内含有2只传粉榕小蜂,其它情况均很少。在自然情况下,雄果中的总瘿花量为147.32±62.61(SD)枚,传粉榕小蜂出蜂量为110.94±62.82(SD)只,其中雌蜂多而雄蜂少,传粉榕小蜂性比为0.143 9±0.131 6(SD),瘿花形成率为64.13%±19.89%(SD),雌果中的种子数为231.44±74.25(SD)粒,种子形成率为85.72%±14.19%(SD)。歪叶榕和其传粉榕小蜂在物候学、传粉行为与花药/胚珠比(A/O ratio)和雄花成熟与其羽化出蜂的时期等方面表现出高度的相互适应。     

Soil phosphorus heterogeneity promotes tree species diversity and phylogenetic clustering in a tropical seasonal rainforest

The niche theory predicts that environmental heterogeneity and species diversity are positively correlated in tropical forests, whereas the neutral theory suggests that stochastic processes are more important in determining species diversity. This study sought to investigate the effects of soil nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) heterogeneity on tree species diversity in the Xishuangbanna tropical seasonal rainforest in southwestern China. Thirty‐nine plots of 400 m² (20 × 20 m) were randomly located in the Xishuangbanna tropical seasonal rainforest. Within each plot, soil nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) availability and heterogeneity, tree species diversity, and community phylogenetic structure were measured. Soil phosphorus heterogeneity and tree species diversity in each plot were positively correlated, while phosphorus availability and tree species diversity were not. The trees in plots with low soil phosphorus heterogeneity were phylogenetically overdispersed, while the phylogenetic structure of trees within the plots became clustered as heterogeneity increased. Neither nitrogen availability nor its heterogeneity was correlated to tree species diversity or the phylogenetic structure of trees within the plots. The interspecific competition in the forest plots with low soil phosphorus heterogeneity could lead to an overdispersed community. However, as heterogeneity increase, more closely related species may be able to coexist together and lead to a clustered community. Our results indicate that soil phosphorus heterogeneity significantly affects tree diversity in the Xishuangbanna tropical seasonal rainforest, suggesting that deterministic processes are dominant in this tropical forest assembly.     

西双版纳热带雨林聚果榕小蜂的传粉生态学

对聚果榕小蜂（Ceratosolen sp.)传粉生态学进行了首次研究。结果表明,聚果榕小蜂的雄蜂比雄蜂早羽化数小时;雄蜂羽化不能自行打开瘿花和果肉出蜂口,两个出蜂口均需雄蜂开凿,而聚果榕的成熟花粉,不能自行地从开裂处散发出来,必须经榕小蜂的繁殖性雌蜂采集才能散到表面,羽化后的雌蜂的开裂的雄花中不停地用触角柄节,口器上颚和足推动和采集花粉,雄蜂飞出熟榕果寻找嫩隐头花果,一般在外飞5－80min,雌蜂进入嫩聚果榕的隐头花果内后,立即把粘附在足,头触角和身上的花粉不停地推动到长柱头雌花中,授粉行为长达4－9h,然后,才把卵产在短柱头雌花中。
