透明溞(Daphnia hyalina)和隆线溞一亚种(Daphnia carinata ssp.)是东湖优势枝角类。       

武汉东湖透明溞和隆线溞一亚种的种群变动和生产量

本文报道了1980—1982年东湖二种优势枝角类:透明溞(Daphnia hyalina)和隆线溞一亚种(Daphnia carinata ssp.)的种群变动和生产量的研究结果。分析了影响种群变动和生产量的生态因子。尽管这二种枝角类在一年中有一段共存时间,但高峰期从来是错开的。一般来说,透明溞的高峰期出现在春季或冬季;而隆线溞一亚种则出现在夏季或秋季源沓ㄋ蘑蛘纠此?1980—1982年透明溞的种群密度的年平均值为28.43(17.59—38.50)个/升;隆线溞一亚种为4.64(3.79—5.31)个/升。种群的瞬时出生率(b),;通常大于瞬时增长率(r);瞬时死亡率(d)与b的季节变动在大多数情况下是一致的。透明溞的年平均生物量为0.218(0.163—0.315)毫克干重/升,生产量为9.181(4.877—13.428)毫克干重/升·年,P/B系数为42.38(27.76—56.70)。隆线溞一亚种的年平均生物量为0.046(0.039—0.060)毫克干重/升,生产量为3.417(2.752—3.829)毫克干重/升·年,P/B系数为77.04(61.24—99.74)。       

温度对透明溞和隆线溞一亚种发育及生长的影响

透明溞(Daphnia hyalina)和隆线溞一亚种(D. carinata ssp.)的发育、生长与温度的关系极为密切。胚胎发育时间随温度升高而缩短。低温培养的个体普遍大于高温。龄期、寿命也随温度升高而变短。在15—30℃温度范围内,实验种群的内禀增长力(rm)随温度升高而增加。透明溞的产卵率以20℃为最高,达1.4936;而隆线溞一亚种则在15℃为最高,达1.490。不同种类在各种温度下,卵一胚胎,幼体,成体3个发育阶段所需时间的百分比变化甚小。卵一胚胎占总发育时间(从卵进入孵育囊起至成体死亡止)的(5.08±0.42)%,幼体为(10.76±1.53)%,成体为(84.16+1.72)%。根据不同温度下总胚胎发育时间,并参考了文献中记载的资料,获得了溞属温度与总胚胎发育时间的曲线迥归方程: Ln D=3.5748+0.0769 LnT-0.3122(Ln T)2对隆线溞一亚种的形态、生态进行了描述,对它的分类地位进行了讨论。       

几种枝角类的卵鞍形态及表面超微结构

用光镜和扫描电镜对浙东地区八种常见淡水枝角类卵鞍形态和表面结构进行了观察和比较。卵鞍形态多为三角形或豆荚形,表面大都具特定的纹饰,内储冬卵1－2枚。卵鞍的形态、表面纹饰、冬卵的数量的排列方向具有种的特异性。枝角类的分类地位相距越远,卵鞍形态和表面结构相差越大,相近种和亚种间的卵鞍在光镜下难以区别,亚显微结构却有一定的差异。卵鞍的形态和结构作为枝角类的分类依据是有意义的。     

隆线溞[Daphnia(Ctenodaphnia)carinata]卵鞍的超微结构

在不利的环境条件下,枝角类中有一部分种类可以形成卵鞍(ephippium),内含休眠卵。本文应用扫描电镜和透射电镜对隆线溞的卵鞍进行了超微结构的研究。研究表明:卵鞍外面大部分略呈浅的蜂窝状,内面则排布着多数卵石状小突起。卵鞍分为内外两层,两层的超微结构截然不同;各层又可分为三小层。     

武汉东湖透明溞和隆线溞——亚种体长-体重回归方程式

透明溞(Daphnia hyalina)和隆线溞-亚种(Oaphnia carinata ssp.)是东湖优势枝角类。作者采用直接称重法,测定了这两种枝角类不同体长组的鲜重、干重,和保存于4％福马林溶液中的标本的湿重、干重,并应用统计方法获得了相应的体长-体重回归方程式。并与前人发表的公式作了比较;同时对干重和湿重的百分比作了扼要的讨论。     

略论武汉东湖枝角类种类演替及其与生态因子的关系

本文报道了武汉东湖1980—1988年间枝角类的种类演替,并分析了种类演替与主要生态因子间的关系,同时还与他人的研究结果进行了比较。研究结果表明,二十年来,枝角类种类组成已趋于简单,并由六十年代的47种减少为八十年代的26种。优势种群也发生了较大的变化。虽然冬、春季节仍以透明溞(Daphnia hyalina)为第一优势种,但以往夏、秋季节的优势种群隆线溞一亚种(Daphnia carinata ssp.)规模却日趋减少,并趋于消失;而杂食性的短尾秀体溞(Diaphanosoma brachyurum)种群规模则不断变大,最终跃为东湖夏、秋季节枝角类的优势种群。即在夏、秋季节,优势种群已由专性植食性种演变为杂食性种。在种类演替的同时,枝角类小型化现象也十分明显。其平均体长与时间的回归方程式分别为: 隆线溞一亚种:Y=122.23-0.06107X 透明溞:Y=142.28-0.07117X 短尾秀体溞:Y=61.56-0.03067X 渔业的强化,浮游植物的演替及水体富营养化的日趋严重导致了东湖枝角类的种类演替。同时,这也是引起枝角类小型化现象的主要生态因素。

不同生境下青海湖裸鲤(Gymnocypris przewalskii)两亚种鳃形态差异及其功能适应

该研究比较观察青海湖裸鲤(Gymnocypris przewalskii)两亚种(青海湖裸鲤指名亚种(Gymnocypris przewalskii przewalskii)和青海湖裸鲤甘子河亚种(Gymnocypris przewalskii ganzihonensis))鳃的形态及显微结构。结果显示,指名亚种的第一鳃弓鳃耙数多、密集且较长,而甘子河亚种则耙数少、稀疏且短;两者的鳃丝间距及鳃小片间距无明显差异,指名亚种的鳃丝较长;指名亚种扁平上皮细胞形态以不规则椭圆形为主,鳃丝表面有黏液细胞,其上分布的氯细胞数量多于甘子河亚种,而甘子河亚种扁平上皮细胞的形态以六边形为主,鳃丝表皮未观察到黏液细胞。由此推测,青海湖裸鲤两亚种鳃形态的差异与其食性和栖息环境相适应。     

Daphnia (Ctenodaphnia) Mediterranea: A new species of hyperhaline waters,long confused with D. (C.) Dolichocephala Sars, 1895.

A very particular form of Daphnia (Ctenodaphnia), adapted to life in epicontinental hyperhaline waters of Mediterranean arid regions had long been confused with Daphnia (Ctenodaphnia) dolichocephala Sars, 1895. In this paper the morphological and ecological differences between the two taxa are pointed out and comparison is made with another closely related Rumanian form (Daphnia cf. mediterranea) and with the related Spanish species (D. atkinsoni and D. chevreuxi). The Daphnia of saline environments is described here as Daphnia (Ctenodaphnia) mediterranea. The most important differential characters of this new species are: 1) the short and widely rounded rostrum; 2) dorsal ridge of the female extends to the anteriormost part of the head; 3) elliptical ephippium with a ride anterior margin; convex shape and separate from the dorsal ridge; 4) males possessing a very long antennule base that reaches the distal limit of the head.     

Response of Daphnia to substances released from crowded congeners and conspecifics

The effects of chemicals released from crowded congeners andconspecifics on life history parameters of the freshwater zooplanktersDaphnia cucullata and Daphnia pulex were examined. Length andage at maturity of D. pulex were affected by crowding chemicals.Reproduction was lower in crowded medium, and ephippia wereproduced. Newborn D. pulex in crowded medium were significantlylonger than the controls. The intrinsic rate of population increaseof D. pulex was 14 and 25% lower than the control when exposedto crowded medium from D. cucullata and D. pulex, respectively.Neither urea nor ammonia (at 1 mg l^-1) seemed to be responsiblefor these effects in D. pulex. In D. cucullata, no significanteffect of crowding infochemicals on length and age at maturitywas found. However, crowding chemicals reduced reproduction.No ephippia were produced in crowded medium, but up to 83% non-developingeggs were observed in D. cucullata. Newborns were similarlysized in crowded and standard medium. The intrinsic rate ofpopulation increase of D. cucullata was 44 and 96% lower thanthe control when exposed to crowded medium from D. cucullataand D. pulex, respectively. Clearance rates of D. pulex weresignificantly reduced in crowded media compared with standardmedium, which could partly explain why the animals exposed tocrowding chemicals reacted as if they were food limited.     

The influence of pool volume and summer desiccation on the production of the resting and dispersal stage in a Daphnia metapopulation

Dispersal is a key process in metapopulations, as migrants genetically connect populations and enable the colonization of empty habitat patches. Sub-populations may differ in their numerical contribution of migrants within a metapopulation. This has strong implications on evolutionary and ecological dynamics and has led to two different hypotheses about the Daphnia metapopulation studied here: the assessment by some authors is that sub-populations contribute equally to the production of migrants, while others have postulated long-lived core populations in large "mainland" habitat patches as the dominant source of migrants. We have studied the resting and dispersal stage (ephippium) in a natural Daphnia metapopulation and in mesocosm experiments, and tested for effects of habitat size and summer desiccation. We found that a 1000-fold increase in rock pool volume resulted on average in only in a 2.8-fold increase in ephippium production. Mesocosm experiments confirmed these results: a 1000-fold increase of the mesocosms' volume resulted in a 7.2-fold increase in ephippium production. Additionally, we showed that ephippium production did not depend on the initial population size. Thus, populations in small pools may contribute only marginal fewer potential migrants in the whole metapopulation than populations in large pools. In a second mesocosm experiment we found that summer desiccation, which is a typical occurrence in small pools, is not detrimental for the populations. Daphnia hatched out of ephippia that were produced earlier within the same season and built up viable populations again. The substantial production of ephippia by populations in small pools suggests that these populations might be important for both the dynamics and global stability of metapopulations.     

基于16S rDNA和COⅠ基因序列探讨四种溞类的系统关系和分类地位

为了检验已记录的4个溞属种类（(隆线溞Daphnia carinata、透明溞D. hyalina、蚤状溞D. pulex和大型溞D. magna）的系统分类, 用试剂盒法分别提取4种溞类的基因组DNA。利用特异性引物, 通过PCR扩增了4种溞属种类的16S rDNA和COⅠ基因部分序列, 并与来自GenBank中每个种类相似度较高的同种序列进行分析。结果表明, 基于16S rDNA和COⅠ基因, 4个溞属种类的平均种间相似度分别为85.56%和80.67%, 碱基中A+T含量均明显高于G+C含量。基于COⅠ基因, 巢湖隆线溞与来自GenBank上的拟同形溞（(Daphnia similoides AB549199）)相似度为99%, 分歧度为0.4%0.9%。就16S rDNA和COⅠ基因而言, 巢湖透明溞更接近于盔形溞（Daphnia galeata）。基于16S rDNA和COⅠ基因构建的NJ树和贝叶斯树, 两者的主要分枝基本一致。结果暗示, 巢湖隆线溞与拟同形溞为一个种, 透明溞应属于盔形溞。由于缺乏核基因的研究, 有关巢湖溞属的分类地位还需进行更深入的探讨。       

温度和食用藻密度对发头裸腹溞种群动态和两性生殖的影响

Variation in ephippial buoyancy in Daphnia pulicaria

1. Freshwater zooplankton often produce diapausing eggs to survive environmental stress. The diapausing eggs of Daphnia (Crustacea, Cladocera) are encased in an ephippium that either floats at the surface or sinks to the sediment. These two types of ephippia may represent different strategies between spatial (floaters) and temporal (sinkers) dispersal of offspring. 2. We observed floating and sinking characteristics of ephippia obtained from eight lakes. We then conducted an experiment with 26 Daphnia pulicaria clones obtained from six of these lakes and observed the production of buoyant and non‐buoyant ephippia under high and low food conditions. 3. Ephippia were more often non‐buoyant than buoyant both from females caught in nature and those reared in the laboratory. The experiment revealed that each clone was able to produce both types of ephippia, but that there was considerable among‐clone variation in the percentage of non‐buoyant ephippia produced. 4. We conclude that production of non‐buoyant versus buoyant ephippia may be driven by both genetic and environmental factors.     

温度和食用藻密度对发头裸腹潘种群动态和两性生殖的影响
