20 0 2年6月～2 0 0 4年7月,对2 3只四眼斑龟(Sacaliaquadriocellawa) ,采用试喂法和定期投喂法进行人工饲养,对其食性进行统计分析。结果表明:2 5个月份中,四眼斑龟共取食36种食物,除饲料外,取食动物性食物14种,瓜果蔬菜及其它类食物2 2种,嗜好程度:甲鱼2号饲料>动物性食物>瓜果类>蔬菜类。平均取食12 . 1g/周·只,占体重的5 3% ;性别之间无显著差异,♀取食平均为:12. 5 g/周·只;♂为:12 . 2 g/周·只;5月取食量最大,为:2 9 7g/周·只;饲养期间平均气温、水温分别为2 6 .2℃、2 5 . 5℃,与取食量相关程度皆不显著。     

改变人工饲料组分对七星瓢虫幼虫生长发育的影响

改变人工饲料的含氮物质和脂类以及温度对七星瓢虫幼虫生长发育有明显影响.幼虫取食含有脂类物质的饲料时,化蛹率可达90%左右,生长 历期明显缩短,成活率增加;食物中缺乏某些脂肪酸对幼虫生长发育不利,其中亚麻酸和油酸是必需的因素.据测定人工饲料中的游离氨基酸含量低于蚜虫中的水平,而蛋白质水解氨基酸的含量则较蚜虫中高.饲料中加入酵母水解物使幼虫生长加快,体重显著增加.幼虫在28℃时成活率和化蛹率均较在其他温度高,此时幼虫的取食和食物利用加强.幼虫取食改进的饲料时除体重外,在生长期、成活率、化蛹率都接近取食蚜虫时的水平.     

低浓度毒死蜱对斜纹夜蛾幼虫生长

毒死蜱(chlorpyrifos,CPF)是一种广泛使用的有机磷杀虫剂,多以低浓度形式长期存在于自然环境中.通过在标准人工饲料中添加低浓度毒死蜱,研究其对斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura Fabricius生长发育和食物利用的影响,结果表明:低浓度毒死蜱能刺激昆虫生长,显著增加幼虫和蛹的体重,10 μg/kg处理第3 d幼虫体重和化蛹后重量分别比对照增加86.4%和20%;低浓度毒死蜱也能加快昆虫的生长速度,缩短幼虫发育历期,10μg/kg处理幼虫发育历期低于对照1.1±0.02 d.低浓度毒死蜱对5龄幼虫的食物利用影响不明显,但可显著增加6龄幼虫相对生长率、食物利用率和食物转化率,10μg/kg处理分别比对照增加56%,29%和16%.     

温度对东亚飞蝗取食影响及其食物利用效率研究

2010年11月至2011年2月在上海奉贤申亚生态园内,对从山东重引入的狗獾(Meles meles)在围栏内进行了秋冬季行为的初步研究。结果表明,重引入狗獾在冬季活动时间低,取食食物以肉类饲料为主,平均2～4 d出洞活动一次,受温度影响大。研究表明,重引入狗獾能适应人工饲养并顺利越冬。     

高纤维食物对黄毛鼠摄食和消化的影响

动物的消化生理特征和消化对策可决定其营养生态位。为揭示黄毛鼠适应高纤维食物的消化对策,在高纤维食物饲喂10d和20d时,以食物平衡法测定摄食量、粪便量及相应的能量学参数。在取食高纤维食物10d时,摄食量无显著变化,但粪便量显著增加,消化率显著下降;至20d时,摄食量显著增加,消化率仍低于对照组,但消化能与对照组无差异。高纤维组动物的体重在第10d时显著下降,但在第20d时未进一步下降。该结果表明,黄毛鼠能够通过增加摄食量和降低消化率的消化对策适应高纤维食物,此外,降低体重使总能量需求减少,也是其适应低质量食物的对策之一。     

几种因子对灰尖巴蜗牛翻身习性的影响

将蜗牛身体倒置并记录其恢复原状的时间来研究灰尖巴蜗牛的翻身习性,并研究蜗牛体重、环境温度、光照强度、饥饿和取食等因素对翻身时间的影响。结果表明,翻身时间随体重、光照强度和饥饿时间增加而增加,随温度升高和取食时间增加而减少。体重组Ⅳ(体重0.7～0.9g)、Ⅴ(体重0.9～1.2g)的翻身时间极显著长于体重组Ⅰ(体重0.1～0.3g)、Ⅱ(体重0.3～0.5g)、Ⅲ(体重0.5～0.7g)(P<0.01),体重组Ⅰ的翻身时间显著短于体重组Ⅲ的(P<0.05);3体重组(Ⅰ、Ⅲ、Ⅴ)在较高温度和低白炽灯光照强度(204lx)下的翻身时间显著短于较低温度和强白炽灯光照强度(493lx)下的;体重组Ⅰ、Ⅴ在长饥饿时间下的翻身时间均显著长于短饥饿时间。体重组Ⅲ、Ⅴ取食较长时间后的翻身时间都显著短于取食较短时间。     

不同丰容方式对圈养成年山魈行为影响的试验

于2011年对成都动物园饲养的8只成年圈养山魈进行3种食物丰容、2种环境丰容及5种食物与环境丰容试验,考察不同形式丰容方式对圈养山魈行为的影响.结果表明,第一期丰容试验(B)后,山魈的休息行为、运动行为和玩耍行为增加极显著(P＜0.01),而交往行为和取食行为减少极显著(P＜0.01);第二期丰容(D)后,休息行为减少极显著,交往行为增加显著,运动行为、采食行为和玩耍行为增加极显著.山魈对纯轮胎丰容方式的接触次数最少,而对食物丰容方式接触次数更多.有两种丰容方式(纯轮胎丰容和纯轮胎+纯麻袋丰容)仅持续很短的时间即失去作用,其余的丰容方式一般在第8d出现兴趣下降的现象,因此建议每种丰容方式的持续使用时间不超过8d.

Photoregulation of seed germination of wild-type and of an aurea-mutant of tomato

Seed germination of an aurea mutant of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is promoted by continuous irradiation with red, far-red or long-wavelength far-red (758 nm) light as well as by cyclic irradiations (5 min red or 5 min far-red/25 min darkness). Far-red light applied immediately after each red does not change the germination behaviour. Seed germination of the isogenic wild-type, cv. UC-105, is promoted by continuous and cyclic red light while it is inhibited by continuous and cyclic far-red light and by continious 758 nm irradiation. Far-red irradiation reverses almost completely the promoting effect of red light. The promoting effect (in the aurea mutant) and the inhibitory effect (in the wild-type) of continuous far-red light do not show photon fluence rate dependency above 20 nmol m⁻² s⁻¹. It is concluded that phytochrome controls tomato seed germination throgh low energy responses in both the wild type and the au mutant. The promoting effect of continuous and cyclic far-red light in the au mutant can be attributed to a greater sensitivity to P_fr.

History of the discovery of the mode of transmission of yellow fever virus

This essay documents and examines the historical circumstances and events surrounding the discovery of the mode of transmission of yellow fever virus in Cuba. Close scrutiny of the articles published by Walter Reed and his colleagues in 1900, 1901 and 1902 reveals their limitations as historic documents. Fortunately, other sources of information from that period survive in letters and documents written by individuals involved in the quest for the mode of transmission. Examination and comparison of those sources of information unveiled a fascinating story which reveals that misunderstandings engendered by published articles accorded merit where it was not fully due.     

Physiological characteristics of various species of strains of carboxydobacteria

Seven strains of aerobic carbon monoxide-oxidizing bacteria (carboxydebacteria) when growing on CO as sole source of carbon and energy had doubling times which ranged from 12–42 h. The activity profiles obtained after discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation indicated that the CO-oxidizing enzymes are soluble and the hydrogenases are membrane-bound in all strains examined. The CO-oxidizing enzymes of Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena, Pseudomonas carboxydoflava, Comamonas compransoris, and the so far unidentified strains OM2, OM3, and OM4 had a molecular weight of 230,000; that of Achromobacter carboxydus amounted to 170,000. The molecular weights of the CO-oxidizing and H₂-oxidizing enzymes turned out to be identical. The cell sonicates were shown to catalyze the oxidation of both CO and H₂ with methylene blue, thionine, phenazine methosulfate, toluylene blue, dichlorophenolindophenol, cytochrome c or ferricyanide as electron acceptors. Methyl viologen, benzyl viologen, FAD⁺, FMN⁺, and NAD(P)⁺ were not reduced. The spectrum of electron acceptors was identical for all strains tested. Neither free formate, hydrogen nor oxygen gas were involved in the CO-oxidation reaction. Methylene blue was reduced by CO at a 1:1 molar ratio. The results indicate that CO-oxidation by carboxydobacteria is catalyzed by identical or similar enzymes and that the reaction obeys the equation CO+H₂OCO₂+2H⁺+2e^- as previously shown for Pseudomonas carboxydovorans.Dedicated to Otto Kandler remembering almost three decades of enjoyable cooperation     

Modulation of allostery of pyruvate kinase by shifting of an ensemble of microstates

Since the introduction of the concepts of allostery about four decades ago, much advancement has been made in elucidating the structure-function correlation in allostery. However, there are still a number of issues that remain unresolved. In this review we used mammalian pyruvate kinase (PK) as a model system to understand the role of protein dynamics in modulating cooperativity. PK has a triosephosphate isomerase (TIM)(α/β)₈ barrel structural motif. PK is an ideal system to address basic questions regarding regulatory mechanisms about this common (α/β)₈ structural motif. The simplest model accounting for all of the solution thermodynamic and kinetic data on ligand-enzyme interactions involves two conformational states, inactive E^T and active E^R. These conformational states are represented by domain movements. Further studies provide the first evidence for a differential effect of ligand binding on the dynamics of the structural elements, not major secondary structural changes. These data are consistent with our model that allosteric regulation of PK is the consequence of perturbation of the distribution of an ensemble of states in which the inactive E^T and active E^R represent the two extreme end states. Sequence differences and ligands can modulate the distribution of states leading to alterations of functions. The future work includes: defining the network of functionally connected residues; elucidating the chemical principles governing the sequence differences which affect functions; and probing the nature of mutations on the stability of the secondary structural elements, which in turn modulate allostery.
