不同藻密度下Zn2+ 浓度对萼花臂尾轮虫实验种群增长参数的影响

为了比较不同食物密度下污染物浓度对受试生物的慢性毒性,筛选出以轮虫为受试生物对水环境中Zn2+污染进行监测的敏感指标,在不同斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)密度(1.0×106、2.0×106和4.0×106个/m L)下不同浓度(0、0.1、0.3、0.5、0.7、0.9 mg/L)的Zn2+对萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)实验种群增长参数的影响。结果表明,25℃以及1.0×106、2.0×106和4.0×106个/m L藻密度下Zn2+对萼花臂尾轮虫的24 h LC50值分别是6.647、8.102和5.873 mg/L。与各食物密度下的对照组相比,当食物密度为1.0×106个/m L时,各浓度的Zn2+对萼花臂尾轮虫的各种群增长参数均无显著性影响(P0.05)。当食物密度为2.0×106个/m L时,各浓度的Zn2+均显著延长了轮虫的生命期望、世代时间和平均寿命,提高了轮虫的净生殖率;除0.3 mg/L外,其他浓度的Zn2+显著提高了轮虫的种群内禀增长率。当食物密度为4.0×106个/m L时,0.1、0.3和0.7mg/L的Zn2+显著提高了轮虫的种群内禀增长率,0.7和0.9 mg/L的Zn2+显著提高了轮虫的后代混交率。藻密度对轮虫的生命期望、世代时间、净生殖率、种群内禀增长率、平均寿命和后代混交率均有极显著性影响(P0.01),Zn2+浓度对轮虫的生命期望、世代时间、净生殖率、种群内禀增长率和后代混交率均有极显著性影响(P0.01),藻密度和Zn2+浓度之间的交互作用对轮虫的生命期望、种群内禀增长率和后代混交率均有显著性影响(P0.05)。2.0×106个/m L食物密度下,Zn2+浓度与轮虫的生命期望、世代时间、净生殖率和平均寿命之间具有显著的剂量-效应关系;4.0×106个/m L食物密度下,Zn2+浓度与轮虫的后代混交率间也具有显著的剂量-效应关系。     

斜生栅藻密度对新安江萼花臂尾轮虫种群动态的影响

以浓度分别为1.0×106、2.0×106、4.0×106和8.0×106cells·mL-1的斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)为轮虫食物,在25℃下,应用群体累积培养和单个体培养法研究了食物浓度对采自新安江水域(屯溪段)的萼花臂尾轮虫的种群动态影响。结果表明:食物浓度对轮虫的种群增长率和休眠卵产量均有显著的影响,均表现为低食物浓度下(≤4.0×106cells·mL-1)萼花臂尾轮虫的种群增长率和休眠卵产量较小且无差异,高食物浓度下(8.0×106cells·mL-1)轮虫的种群增长率和休眠卵产量较大;食物浓度对轮虫的混交雌体百分率和受精率无显著影响;在食物浓度为4.0×106cells·mL-1时萼花臂尾轮虫的净生殖率最大,世代时间最长,而其内禀增长率在食物浓度为1.0×106cells·mL-1时最小;在食物浓度为8.0×106cells·mL-1时平均寿命和生命期望最长。     

三个地理品系萼花臂尾轮虫生活史特征的比较

应用单个体培养方法 ,以浓度为 4 0× 10 6 cells ml的斜生栅藻 (Scenedesmusobliquus)为食物 ,在 30℃下 ,对采自广州、芜湖和青岛等地的萼花臂尾轮虫的生活史特征进行了比较研究。结果发现 ,三个地理品系的萼花臂尾轮虫除生殖前期历时无显著差异外 ,其生殖期历时、生殖后期历时、平均寿命和产卵量等均存在显著的差异。轮虫种群的内禀增长率、周限增长率和净生殖率均以芜湖品系最大 ,广州品系最小。这表明若要在 30℃下进行萼花臂尾轮虫的规模化生产 ,芜湖品系应是首选的最适品系     

温度和铜绿微囊藻毒性对萼花臂尾轮虫生活史参数的影响

文章开展了25℃下两个品系铜绿微囊藻(有毒与无毒)不同浓度对萼花臂尾轮虫生活史的影响研究, 及在5个温度下不同浓度有毒铜绿微囊藻对萼花臂尾轮虫生活史影响的研究。结果表明铜绿微囊藻毒性、浓度及二者交互作用对轮虫生活史参数净生殖率(R₀; F=31.83, P<0.01; F=30.36, P<0.01; F=13.51, P<0.01)、内禀增长率(r_m; F=34.67, P<0.01; F=18.73, P<0.01; F=12.99, P<0.01)均有显著影响; 温度、铜绿微囊藻浓度及二者交互作用对轮虫生活史参数净生殖率、内禀增长率也均有显著影响。无毒铜绿微藻在低浓度(1×104 cells/mL)下对轮虫种群有促进作用, 可作为轮虫食物来源, 但缺乏脂肪酸等营养物质, 食物质量比蛋白核小球藻低; 在高浓度(1×105和5×105 cells/mL)下轮虫摄食无毒铜绿微囊藻机率变大, 整体食物品质下降, 对轮虫有抑制作用。有毒铜绿微囊藻对轮虫种群的抑制作用更加明显, 微囊藻浓度升高, 净生殖率和内禀增长率显著下降。研究结果还表明30℃和35℃高温下轮虫生长繁殖变快, 世代时间缩短。在高温(30℃和35℃)环境下, 铜绿微囊藻浓度升高对轮虫抑制作用更加明显。     

三氯杀螨醇浓度和食物密度对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长的影响

采用群体累积培养方法,研究了不同浓度(0.03、0.3、3.30和300 μg·L-1)的三氯杀螨醇和不同食物密度(3.0和5.0×106cells·ml-1)的斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)对萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)种群增长影响.结果表明:藻类食物密度、三氯杀螨醇浓度以及二者的交互作用对轮虫种群增长率均有显著影响(P＜0.05);藻类食物密度和三氯杀螨醇浓度对轮虫最大种群密度也有显著影响(P＜0.01),但二者的交互作用对其却无显著作用(P＞0.05);与空白对照组相比,在3.0×106cells·ml-1藻密度下.0.03-30μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇显著提高了轮虫种群增长率,3μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇显著降低了轮虫的最大种群密度,而300μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇则极显著提高了轮虫的最大种群密度;在5.0×106cells·ml-1藻密度下,三氯杀螨醇对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长率和最大种群密度均无显著影响;高密度的藻类食物降低了0.03-30μg·L-1和300μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇分别对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长率和最大种群密度所具有的促进作用,以及3μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇对轮虫最大种群密度所具有的抑制作用.     

亚致死浓度的盐酸四环素对萼花臂尾轮虫 存活、生殖和种群增长的影响

盐酸四环素是一种广谱抗生素,但其对轮虫存活、生殖和种群增长等的影响尚未知。本文应用生命表实验方法研究了不同浓度[0(对照组)、2.5、5、10、20、40和80 mg/L]的盐酸四环素对萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)存活、生殖和种群增长的影响。单因素方差分析表明,盐酸四环素浓度对轮虫的生命期望、世代时间、净生殖率和种群内禀增长率均具有显著性影响(P 0.05),但对后代混交率无显著性影响(P 0.05)。多重比较(最小显著差数法)显示,与对照组相比,2.5～40 mg/L盐酸四环素处理组中轮虫的生命期望和世代时间分别显著延长了35%～52%和13%～24%(P 0.01),净生殖率显著提高了17%～37%(P 0.05);80 mg/L盐酸四环素处理组中轮虫的净生殖率和内禀增长率分别显著降低了20.35%和8.69%(P0.05)。回归分析表明,盐酸四环素浓度与轮虫的生命期望、世代时间、净生殖率和内禀增长率之间均具有显著的剂量-效应关系。在监测较低浓度的盐酸四环素生态效应时,生命期望、世代时间和净生殖率具有相同的敏感性;而在监测较高浓度的盐酸四环素生态效应时,净生殖率和内禀增长率具有相同的敏感性。     

密度信号对两种臂尾轮虫种群增长的影响

为了更好的了解化学干扰对轮虫种间竞争的影响,分别用萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)和角突臂尾轮虫(Brachionus angularis)研究了同种和异种种群密度信号对种群增长的影响。结果表明,密度信号对轮虫种群增长具有一定的影响。萼花臂尾轮虫的密度信号显著降低了本种和角突臂尾轮虫种群的环境容纳量K并提高了它们的种群增长率r(P0.05),角突臂尾轮虫的密度信号对本种和萼花臂尾轮虫的种群增长都没有显著影响(P0.05)。萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长受同种密度信号抑制十分显著,环境容纳量K降低了50%以上,可能主要受自毒作用的调节,但同种密度信号对高有性生殖的萼花臂尾轮虫种群的混交率影响不明显。角突臂尾轮虫几乎不受自身密度信号的影响。因此,在两种臂尾轮虫的竞争中,由于自身密度信号的抑制作用,萼花臂尾轮虫将更快被角突臂尾轮虫排除。据此可推测密度信号对轮虫的种间竞争具有重要影响。     

除草剂草甘膦对萼花臂尾轮虫生活史特征的影响

采用生命表实验方法研究了不同浓度(0.10、0.50、3.00、5.50、8.00和10.50mg·L^-1)的除草剂草甘膦对萼花臂尾轮虫生活史特征的影响.结果表明,草甘膦对轮虫的胚胎发育时间、幼体阶段历期、生殖期历期、平均寿命、净生殖率和种群内禀增长率均有显著影响.与对照组相比,当草甘膦浓度为3.00和8.00mg·L^-1时,轮虫胚胎发育时间显著延长;达3.00mg·L^-1时,轮虫的幼体阶段历期开始显著延长;达8.00和0.50mg·L^-1时,轮虫净生殖率和种群内禀增长率分别开始显著降低.在各参数中,种群内禀增长率是较敏感的指标,可用于监测草甘膦对萼花臂尾轮虫生活史特征的影响.     

汀棠湖冬季出现的萼花臂尾轮虫对水温的适应

为了解汀棠湖冬季出现的萼花臂尾轮虫对水温的适应,探讨其在春季的种群消长机制,运用生命表统计学方法研究了温度(12℃、16℃、20℃和24℃)和斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)密度(1.0×106、3.0×106和5.0×106个/mL)对冬季采自芜湖市汀棠湖水体中的萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)出生时的生命期望、世代时间、平均寿命、总生殖率、净生殖率和种群内禀增长率等生活史参数的影响。结果表明,温度对轮虫出生时的生命期望、世代时间、平均寿命、净生殖率和种群内禀增长率均有显著性影响(P0.05),但对总生殖率无显著性影响(P0.05);食物密度以及食物密度与温度之间的交互作用对轮虫所有生命表统计学参数均无显著性影响(P0.05)。轮虫出生时的生命期望和平均寿命在12℃下较长,16、20℃和24℃下较短且三者间无显著性差异;轮虫的世代时间在12℃下最长,16℃和24℃下最短且两者间无显著性差异;轮虫的净生殖率在16℃下较高,12、20℃和24℃下较低且三者间无显著性差异;轮虫的种群内禀增长率在12℃下最低,16℃下最高,20℃和24℃间无显著性差异。汀棠湖冬季出现的萼花臂尾轮虫在16℃下的适合度最高,这或许是该水体中萼花臂尾轮虫种群密度在3月中旬(此时水温为17℃)达到春季最高峰的重要原因之一。     

不同温度下新安江水域(屯溪段)轮虫种群动态研究

温度是决定轮虫生活史特征的重要的生态因子之一.应用生命表统计学方法对采自黄山市新安江水域屯溪段的萼花臂尾轮虫在四种不同温度(15℃、20℃、25℃和30℃)下的生命表统计学特征进行了比较研究.结果表明,萼花臂尾轮虫的存活率和繁殖率在不同温度下存在着差异.四种培养温度下,世代时间在15℃时最长,25℃和30℃时最短且无显著差异;内禀增长率在较低温度下(15℃、20℃)较小,在较高的温度下(25℃、30℃)较大;生命期望和平均寿命均在15℃时最长,其余三个温度下无显著差异.温度对萼花臂尾轮虫的净生殖率和后代的混交雌体百分率无显著影响.     

Comparative population growth and life table demography of the rotifer Asplanchna girodi at different prey (Brachionus calyciflorus and Brachionus havanaensis) (Rotifera) densities

Population growth and life table demography of the predatory rotifer A. girodi using spineless Brachionus calyciflorus and spined Brachionus havanaensis as prey at densities of 1, 2, 4 and 8 ind. ml^–1 at 25°C were studied. Regardless of the prey species, the population of A. girodi increased with increasing availability of Brachionus in the medium. At any given prey density, A. girodi fed B. calyciflorus showed consistently better growth than when fed B. havanaensis. The maximum population densities of A. girodi varied from 0.28 to 1.8 ind. ml^–1 depending on the prey species and the density. The rate of population increase observed in population growth studies varied from 0.17 to 0.43 day^–1 when fed B. calyciflorus and 0.09 to 0.27 day^–1 when fed B. havanaensis. Male population of A. girodi was closely related to female density. The lowest average lifespan was observed for A. girodi when fed B. havanaensis at 1 ind. ml^–1, while the converse was the case when fed B. calyciflorus at comparable prey concentration. Net reproductive rates varied from 16 to 26 offspring female^–1 lifespan^–1 depending on the prey species and concentration. Generation time of A. girodi decreased with increasing food concentrations for both the prey species. The rates of population increase obtained from life table demography were lower for A. girodi when fed B. havanaensis than when fed B. calyciflorus.     

Competition between Brachionus calyciflorus Pallas and Brachionus patulus (Müller) (Rotifera) in relation to algal food concentration and initial population density

Competitive laboratory experiments between Brachionus calyciflorus and B. patulus were conducted at low (1×10⁶ cells ml^–1) and high (3×10⁶ cells ml^–1) densities of Chlorella vulgaris and four initial inoculation densities (numerically, 100% B. calyciflorus; 75% B. calyciflorus + 25% B. patulus; 50% each of the two species; 25% B. calyciflorus + 75% B. patulus and 100% B. patulus). Population densities were enumerated and the medium was changed daily for 20 days. B. patulus was a superior competitor in low food density regardless of inoculation density. At high food density, B. calyciflorus showed higher population growth in the first week but thereafter was outcompeted by B. patulus regardless of initial density. When grown alone, B. calyciflorus reached peak abundances (mean ± standard error) of 31±3 and 81±7 individuals ml^–1 at low and high food densities, respectively. The corresponding values for B. patulus were 130±2 and 306±13. The adverse effects of B. patulus on the peak abundances of B. calyciflorus were higher at low food concentration. Data on egg ratios (eggs female^–1) revealed an inverse relation with population abundance of both tested rotifer species. Our results indicated that the rate of population increase of a species was not a good indicator of its competitive ability. Instead, the ability to reproduce under continuously diminishing food resources (until a threshold level) was responsible for the competitive edge of B. patulus over B. calyciflorus. This was further influenced by the relative inoculation densities of the tested rotifer species and the offered food densities.     

Combined Effects of Algal (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Chlorella vulgaris</Emphasis>) Food Level and Temperature on the Demography of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Brachionus havanaensis</Emphasis> (Rotifera): a Life Table Study

We evaluated the combined effects of food (0.5 × 10⁶, 1.0 × 10⁶ and 2.0 × 10⁶ cells ml⁻¹ of Chlorella vulgaris) and temperature (15, 20 and 25 °C) on life history variables of B. havanaensis. Regardless of Chlorella density there was a steep fall in the survivorship of B. havanaensis at 25 °C. Both food level and temperature affected the fecundity of B. havanaensis. At any given food level, rotifers cultured at 15 °C showed extended but low offspring production. At 25 °C, offspring production was elevated, the duration of egg laying reduced and the fecundity was higher during the latter part of the reproductive period. The effect of food level was generally additive, at any given temperature, and higher densities of Chlorella resulted in higher offspring production. Average lifespan, life expectancy at birth and generation time were 2–3 times longer at 15 °C than at 25 °C. At 20 °C, these remained at intermediate levels. The shortest generation time (about 4 days) was observed at 25 °C. Gross and net reproductive rates and the rate of population increase (r) increased with increasing temperature and generally, at any given temperature, higher algal food levels contributed to higher values in these variables. The r varied from 0.11 to 0.66. The survival patterns and lower rates of reproduction at 15 °C suggest that the winter temperatures (10–15 °C) prevailing in many waterbodies in Mexico City allow this species to sustain throughout the year under natural conditions.     

大型海藻龙须菜抽提液对褶皱臂尾轮虫生命表参数的影响

大型海藻富含多种活性物质,具有抗衰老等生物活性;轮虫是良好的潜在抗衰老研究模式生物。本研究以褶皱臂尾轮虫(Brachionus plicatilis)作为实验对象,研究了不同浓度的大型海藻龙须菜抽提液(0,250,500,750,1000 mg/L)和不同浓度的食物(蛋白核小球藻和普通小球藻)对褶皱臂尾轮虫生命表参数的影响。结果表明:与对照组相比,食物浓度为1.0×10~6个/mL蛋白核小球藻时,不同浓度龙须菜抽提液对轮虫产卵数、平均寿命、净生长率以及世代时间有显著促进效应(P0.05);轮虫平均产卵数及寿命在龙须菜抽提液浓度750 mg/L处达到最高,分别为16只和13.9d(P0.05)。食物浓度为2.0×10~6个/mL普通小球藻时,轮虫平均产卵数和寿命在抽提液浓度为500 mg/L处达到最高,分别为16只和13.6d(P0.05),轮虫平均寿命和净生长率均有显著提高(P0.05)。相同龙须菜抽提液浓度下,食物浓度为1.0×10~6个/mL蛋白核小球藻下轮虫的净生长率、世代时间均显著高于食物浓度为2.0×10~6个/mL蛋白核小球藻培养的轮虫(P0.05);食物浓度为2.0×10~6个/mL时,普通小球藻培养轮虫的净生长率和世代时间均显著高于蛋白核小球藻实验组(P0.05)。交互作用分析显示,龙须菜抽提液与小球藻的交互作用对褶皱臂尾轮虫的内禀增长率有显著影响(P0.05)。研究结果表明,大型海藻龙须菜抽提液对褶皱臂尾轮虫的生长与生殖有促进作用,延长轮虫寿命。     

Ecological problems of Lake Ladoga: causes and solutions

We studied the outcome of competition between a large (Brachionus calyciflorus) and a small (Anuraeopsis fissa) rotifer species at five algal (Scenedesmus acutus) concentrations (0.5 × 10⁶ to 40.5 × 10⁶ cells ml^–1) and with varying initial densities in mixed populations (100 to 0% of B. calcyciflorus or A. fissa), the combined initial biomass being 0.2 µg ml^–1 in all test jars. Experiments were conducted at 28 ± 1 °C.Regardless of food concentration, B. calcyciflorus showed a greater increase in biomass than A. fissa, peak densities (mean ± standard error) at the lowest food concentration in the controls being 1.34 ± 0.31 µg dry weight ml^–1 and 0.82 ± 0.08 dry weight ml^–1, respectively. At the lower food concentrations, A. fissa displaced B. calyciflorus and vice versa at the higher food concentrations. At the intermediate food concentrations of 4.5 × 10⁶ cells ml^–1, B. calyciflorus outcompeted A. fissa only if its initial population density was three times higher. The rates of population growth in controls varied from 0.792 ± 0.06 d^–1 to 1.492 ± 0.13 d^–1 for B. calyciflorus and 0.445 ± 0.04 to 0.885 ± 0.01 for A. fissa depending on food level. When both species were introduced together, low food levels favoured higher abundance of A. fissa than B. calyciflorus, suggesting, in nature, it is likely that small Anuraeopsis colonize oligotrophic water bodies more successfully than larger Brachionus. The results also suggest that the outcome of competition depends not only on the size of the competing species and food availability but also on their colonizing density.

Maternal age and spine development in the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus: increase of spine length with birth orders1

1. Maternal effects have long been known to influence phenotypic plasticity in rotifers. Females in Brachionus calyciflorus and several other species produce long‐spined offspring when the predatory rotifer Asplanchna is present; B. calyciflorus also develops short spines when food concentrations are low. These spines protect against predation and decrease food threshold concentrations. 2. Some strains of B. calyciflorus develop long spines even in the absence of Asplanchna and other environmental stimuli. We demonstrate in this study that spine length in such cases is dependent on the age of the mother. 3. In strains from Florida and Georgia, offspring spine length increased significantly with birth order, sometimes to lengths formerly observed only in the presence of Asplanchna. Significant variation in this trait was found among and within clones of a strain. Offspring body size also increased with maternal age. This is the first time maternal age has been shown to affect rotifer morphology. 4. These birth‐order effects may have important ecological implications and explain phenotypic plasticity and polymorphism in body size and spine length in populations when predators are absent and food concentrations are high. They may be a bet‐hedging mechanism to assure adaptation to rapid changes in predation pressure or food conditions.     

Population growth of Asplanchna sieboldi fed two Brachionus spp. (Rotifera) raised on green alga and baker's yeast

We conducted population growth experiments of A. sieboldi using Brachionus calyciflorus and Brachionus patulus as prey. The prey rotifers were mass cultured separately on Chlorella vulgaris, Saccharomyces cerevisiae or on their mixture. Data on population growth of A. sieboldi showed prey type and food density-related differences. At any given prey concentration, both B. calyciflorus and B. patulus raised on a mixture of alga and yeast, resulted in higher abundance of the predator than those raised solely on alga or yeast. The rate of population increase per day (r) of A. sieboldi increased with increasing prey density for both prey species. However, predators grown on B. patulus showed higher r values compared to those grown on B. calyciflorus.     

Inducible defenses and rotifer food chain dynamics

Theoretical studies have predicted that inducible defenses affect food chain dynamics and persistence. Here we review and evaluate laboratory experiments that tested hypotheses developed from these theoretical studies. This review specifically focuses on the effects of inducible defenses in phytoplankton-rotifer food chain dynamics. First, we describe the occurrence of colony formation within different strains of green algae (Scenedesmaceae) in response to infochemicals released during grazing by the herbivorous rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus. Then we examined the effects of inducible defenses on the population dynamics of this planktonic system in which algal strains that differed in their defense strategies were used. Simple food chains were composed of green algae (Scenedesmaceae), herbivorous rotifers (Brachionus calyciflorus) and carnivorous rotifers (Asplanchna brightwellii). In this system B. calyciflorus exhibits an inducible defense against predation by developing long postero-lateral spines. Experimental studies showed that inducible defenses, as opposed to their absence, could prevent high-amplitude population fluctuations. We discuss the dual effects of induced defenses on extinction probabilities and consider the fit of a theoretical model to experimental data to understand the mechanisms that underlie the observed dynamics.
