安徽乾山山地麻蜥卵孵化过程中物质和能量的变化

野生成年山地麻蜥捕获后在人工环境中产卵,卵在30℃、－12kPa的条件下孵化;在不同时段称重（整体、卵壳、卵黄、胚胎等）并测定一些成分的能量。胚胎发育以及卵物质和能量转化数据处理结果如下：①卵孵化期为35.0d,孵化时能从外界吸收水分使卵重增加;②在卵孵化0－20、20－30和30-35d,胚胎分别利用新生卵能量的10％、30％和20％;③胚胎在孵化的20d内生长缓慢,此后生长迅速;④卵孵化过程中,干重、非极性脂肪和能量的转化率分别为67.3%、32.7%和59.6%;⑤胚胎发育所需的无机物来自卵黄和卵壳。该种卵内干物质和非极性脂肪（作为主要能量物质）的转化率、幼体内剩余卵黄比例均较有鳞类低;这种转化率差异可能与山地麻蜥胚胎发育缓慢期较长有关。     

山地麻蜥的雌性繁殖和孵出幼体特征

山地麻蜥年产多窝卵。窝卵数、窝卵重和卵重与雌体体长呈正相关,卵重与窝卵数无关。窝卵数、窝卵重和卵重不存在明显的季节变化。卵长径与卵短径呈正相关,卵长径、卵短径与窝卵数无关。雌体通过增加窝卵数和卵大小增加繁殖输出。孵出幼体的体重、体长、尾长、躯干干重、刺余卵黄不存在季节差异,但5月份孵出幼体的脂肪体高于4月份。

温度对蜥蜴腓肠肌ATP酶活性影响的研究

本文研究了荒漠沙蜥（ｐｈｒｙｎｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ Ｐｒｚｅｗａｌｓｋｉｉ Ｓｔｒａｕｃｈ）和密点麻蜥（Ｅｒｅｍｉａｓ　ｍｕｌｔｉｏｃｅｌｌａｔａＧｕｅｎｔｈｅｒ）腓肠肌肌球蛋白钙激活ＡＴＰ酶活性对温度的依赖关系。结果表明，荒漠沙蜥腓肠肌ＡＴＰ酶的最适温度为３７℃，密点麻蜥腓肠肌ＡＴＰ酶的最适温度为３５℃。两种蜥蜴ＡＴＰ酶最适温度的不同与它们所喜好的温度有很好的相关性。ＡＴＰ酶活性在同种个体大小之间也存在差异。ＡＴＰ酶的生化调节可能在蜥蜴对温度适应上起重要作用。     

三种荒漠蜥蜴空间和营养生态位研究

同一荒漠蜥蜴群落中,荒漠沙蜥（Ｐｈｒｙｎｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓｐｒｚｅｗａｌｓｋｉｉ）和虫纹麻蜥（Ｅｒｅｍｉａｓｖｅｒｍｉｃｕｌａｔａ）,密点麻蜥（Ｅｒｅｍｉａｓｍｕｌｔｉｏｃｅｌｌａｔａ）占不有同的空间生态位,其间几乎不存在竞争。两个近缘种虽然占有相同空间生态位,但个体大的密点麻蜥食物种类特化,个体小的虫纹麻蜥偏重于利用较小的食物资源。占有相同空间生态位的近缘种,营养生态位向不同方向特化,利用不同的食物资源,从而在竞争中共存,保持群落结构的稳定性。     

温度对南疆沙蜥和密点麻蜥消化酶活性的影响

为探究不同温度对南疆沙蜥Phrynocephalus forsythii和密点麻蜥Eremias multiocellata消化酶活性的影响,本研究测定了不同温度下南疆沙蜥和密点麻蜥的肝脏、胃及十二指肠的消化酶——淀粉酶(碘-淀粉比色法)、脂肪酶(比浊法)及胰蛋白酶(紫外线吸收法)的活性。结果显示,南疆沙蜥和密点麻蜥消化酶活性在4～45℃随着温度升高呈现先上升、后下降的趋势;40℃驯化的南疆沙蜥、35℃驯化的密点麻蜥肝脏、胃及十二指肠的淀粉酶、脂肪酶及胰蛋白酶活性最高。南疆沙蜥和密点麻蜥消化酶活性具有温度依赖性,这与机体在不同温度下的生理机能是密切相关的。同时,2种蜥蜴的消化酶活性最大时的驯化温度明显不同,这与它们偏好的环境温度密切相关。     

Effects of gestation temperature on offspring sex and maternal reproduction in a viviparous lizard (Eremias multiocellata) living at high altitude

Temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) is well studied in many species of reptiles, but little is known on how geographic distribution and altitude affect the sex ratio. In the present study, we focused on a population of a viviparous lizard with TSD (Eremias multiocellata) that lives at high altitudes (≈2900 m) in Tianzhu, Gansu province, China. Gestation temperature had a notable effect on the offspring sex ratio, gestation period, and the mother's body mass. The mothers produced female biased offspring at 25 °C but male biased offspring at 35 °C. All female lizards lost weight during pregnancy, and the least loss of the body mass was observed at 31 °C. The gestation period increased in a non-linear fashion as ambient temperature was reduced. Average litter size was elevated with an increase of gestation temperatures, reached a maximum at 31 °C, and then declined at 35 °C. Compared with a previous study on a Minqin population which lives at a lower altitude (≈1400 m) and warmer climate, the present study obtained a less skewed sex ratio of offspring in the Tianzhu population. Geographic variations also affected offspring morphology between the two populations; females collected from Tianzhu produced larger litters but with a smaller body weight of offspring. These differences may be caused by the adaptive response to the cool climatic and high-altitude environmental conditions.     

新疆敏麻蜥3个地理种群趾长及趾长比的两性异形

Temperature acclimation affects thermal preference and tolerance in three Eremias lizards

We acclimated adult males of three Eremias lizards from different latitudes to 28℃,33℃ or 38℃ to examine whether temperature acclimation affects their thermal preference and tolerance and whether thermal preference and tolerance of these lizards correspond with their latitudinal distributions.Overall,selected body temperature（Tsel）and viable temperature range（VTR）were both highest in E.brenchleyi and lowest in E.multiocellata,with E.argus in between;critical thermal minimum（CTMin）was highest in E.multiocellata and lowest in E.brenchleyi,with E.argus in between;critical thermal maximum（CTMax）was lower in E.multiocellata than in other two species.Lizards acclimated to 28℃ and 38℃ overall selected lower body temperatures than those acclimated to 33℃;lizards acclimated to high temperatures were less tolerant of low temperatures,and vice versa;lizards acclimated to 28℃ were less tolerant of high temperatures but had a wider VTR range than those acclimated to 33℃ and 38℃.Lizards of three species acclimated to the three temperatures always differed from each other in CTMin,but not in Tsel,CTMax and VTR.Our results show that：temperature acclimation plays an important role in influencing thermal preference and tolerance in the three Eremias lizards,although the degrees to which acclimation temperature affects thermal preference and tolerance differ among species;thermal preference rather than tolerance of the three Eremias lizards corresponds with their latitudinal distributions.
