Fully-developed eggs of the monogenean Entobdella soleae from the skin of the common sole (Solea solea) hatch when treated with dilute solutions of urea or ammonium chloride in sea water. There is some evidence that arginine may stimulate hatching but the eggs do not respond when treated with sea water solutions containing trimethylamine oxide or glutamine. Sole skin mucus contains sufficient urea to stimulate hatching but insufficient ammonia. Solutions of urea in sea water stimulate hatching in the monogenean parasite Acanthocotyle lobianchi found on ray skin. Sea water solutions containing ammonium chloride and trimethylamine oxide failed to hatch the eggs of A. lobianchi and the eggs were also insensitive to various amino acids made up at concentrations found in host mucus. Experiments with urease confirmed that urea in ray ventral skin mucus is the host hatching factor for A. lobianchi. Skin mucus from the common sole failed to stimulate hatching in A. lobianchi. The role as hatching factors of excretory products in host gill effluent, skin mucus and urine is discussed. 相似文献

Roots of sugar beets grown in liquid culture excrete substances that stimulate egg hatch and emergence of larvae from cysts of Heterodera schachtii. Their hatching effect is comparable to that of sugar beet root diffusate leached from soil-grown sugar beet plants. Consequently, liquid culture provides a way of obtaining H. schachtii hatch-stimulant free of contaminants from soil. Root diffusate, concentrated 50-fold or dried by vacuum distillation, retained hatching activity. The active principle of diffusate is dialyzable with a diffusion rate between those of inorganic salts and compounds with molecular weights greater than 15,000. 相似文献

Eggs of mallard ducks ( Anas platyrhynchos ) and ring-necked pheasants ( Phasianus colchicus ) were incubated in clutches arranged to stimulate embryos to hatch earlier or later than normal. This manipulation of hatching time was achieved by combining eggs of different age in the same clutch. To ensure hatching synchrony, embryos communicate with each other during the last stage of incubation, resulting in either a delay or an acceleration of hatching. Embryos of both species that accelerated their hatching time suffered a higher mortality rate after hatching. Combining mortality with the proportion of hatchlings that suffered from leg deformities, impeding their movements, resulted in a cost also to pheasant chicks delaying their hatching. Chicks of both species accelerating hatching time had a lower minimum mass and a shorter tarsus length than control chicks, whereas chicks delaying hatching time either grew as well or slightly better than control chicks. Mallard chicks had better balance and mobility immediately after hatching the longer they stayed in the egg. This indicates that the period immediately before hatching, is an important period for muscular and organ maturity. Reducing this period results in costs affecting post-hatching survival. The strategy to assure synchronous hatching in mallards and pheasants probably reflect a trade-off between the negative effects of shifting the age at hatching away from normal and differences in predation risk during different stages of reproduction. 相似文献

A model for egg hatching of the western corn rootworm,Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, was tested at several locations in Ontario, Canada, during the 1989 and 1990 seasons. The model required soil temperatures as input and was tested using measured and modelled data. Modelled soil temperatures at 5 and 10 cm depths were obtained from empirically and physically based models. The physically based model provided better estimates of soil temperatues, but both models slightly underestimated the temperatures. Predicted egg hatching, using measured and modelled soil temperature at 5 and 10 cm depths for all locations, compared reasonably well with the observations of egg hatching. When using modelled soil temperatures, the egg developmental model performed better using soil temperatures from the physically based model. However, both soil temperature models provided sufficiently accurate temperature values for use in the egg developmental model. Unlike the empirically based model, the physically based model was not site-specific and its application to larger areas appeared feasible. 相似文献

The present study investigates the time of hatching of the migratory locust Locusta migratoria using egg pods that are artificially buried in the soil under outdoor conditions. Most eggs hatch in the mid‐morning, with a peak between 11.00 and 12.00 h, and none hatch before 09.00 or after 16.00 h. Furthermore, most egg pods complete hatching within a day, although some take 2 or 3 days, and egg hatching is interrupted by rain. There are no large differences in hatching time from May to September. Laboratory experiments in which the eggs are exposed to temperatures simulating outdoor conditions show that soil temperature is the main factor controlling hatching activity. The increase in temperature in the morning appears to trigger egg hatching, as confirmed by laboratory experiments, which may explain the similar hatching times between seasons. The seasonal patterns of temperature variation and hatching time suggest that the hatching time of L. migratoria eggs may be adjusted to allow the hatchlings to be exposed to high temperatures in the afternoon so that they can harden their bodies quickly. 相似文献

Inorganic ions and the hatching of Heterodera spp 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Of various inorganic ions tested for their ability to stimulate hatching of eggs of the cyst nematodes of cereals (Heterodera avenae Woll), carrot (H. carotae Jones), cabbage (H. cruciferae Franklin), soybean (H. glycines Ichinohe), pea (H. goettingiana Liebs.), potato (H. rostochiensis Woll.), beet (H. schachtii Schm.), tobacco (H. tabacum Lownsbery & Lownsbery) and clover (H. trifolii Goffart), some were active. Zn2+ hatched many eggs of seven species and some of H. goettingiana, but inhibited hatch of H. avenae to below that in water. Zinc salts are the first recorded very active hatching stimulants for H. glycines in vitro. Many other metal ions stimulated hatching of H. schachtii eggs to varying extents; these also hatched some but not all of the other species. Vanadate ions were particularly effective for H. rostochiensis, more so than Zn2+. No ion increased the hatch of H. avenae to above that in water. The most active ions were not those most abundant in soil. The behaviour of different ions with different species did not suggest any obvious affinities between species, but the differences between the hatching of H. tabacum and H. rostochiensis add weight to the view that, despite morphological similarities and overlapping host ranges, they are distinct species rather than pathotypes of a single species. Ions and other hatching agents may be absorbed by materials within the egg or larva and alter the structure and function of these materials. The lack of correlation between the hatching of H. schachtii by ions and the known stability sequences of various biological metal-binding systems suggests that there may be several sites of action that differ in their response. 相似文献

Egg hatch was greatest (78.33%) for eggs not previously desiccated. A reduction in numbers hatched occurred as the relative humidity at which they were dried decreased. Some eggs hatched (0.67–79.33%) at pH levels of 3.10–10.01 with the highest hatch at pH 5.60. Water temperature greatly affected egg hatch. No hatch occurred until temperatures were above 14°C. A constant 29°C significantly inhibited hatching. Egg hatch increased 13.00 to 43.42% as salinity decreased from 2200 to 9.24 micromhos/cm. As little as 13 mm of flooded soil covering the eggs prevented them from hatching for 14 days. Eighteen percent hatch resulted when soil and eggs were redistributed to a 1 mm soil layer. Egg samples from the same parent, even though treated similarly, often hatched at greatly varying rates and only rarely was hatching 100% within a replication. 相似文献

Experiments on the hatching of Heterodera rostochiensis have shown that the addition of ammonium carbonate to potato root water markedly inhibits hatching when the concentration of ammonia introduced is approximately 100 p.p.m. The strong acid salts of ammonia in equivalent amounts have no such inhibitory effect.
These observations are linked with experiments on the effect of partial sterilization of soil on the hatching of H. rostochiensis , and it is demonstrated that delay of hatching in such soils is only effective so long as the ammonia concentration within the soil is maintained at a sufficiently high level. 相似文献

Hatching rhythms in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
D. E. PADGHAM 《Physiological Entomology》1981,6(2):191-198
ABSTRACT. The eggs of Schistocerca gregaria (Orthoptera, Acrididae) incubated under natural conditions hatch only within a few of hours on either side of dawn. This gated hatching is controlled by a circadian clock that is phase set by the diel fluctuations in the temperature of the soil surrounding the eggs. There is a circadian fluctuation in haemolymph sugar concentration which is initiated at least 4 days before hatching. However, eggs hatch arrhythmically unless given cycled temperature incubation for at least 10 days of a 12–13-day incubation. Increase in acetylcholine esterase content of the brain during the penultimate day suggests that increased hatching rhythmicity occurring at this time is the result of increased neural organization. Embryonic activity and respiration show no circadian rhythm but do provide confirmatory evidence of a quiescent phase prior to hatching. This quiescent phase is an integral part of gated hatching behaviour. 相似文献

In this study, the functional morphology of the mandibular glands of pharaoh ant queens is investigated through histological and behavioural observations. The mandibular glands of queens of different age stages and mating status were examined at the light microscopical as well as the ultrastructural level. The results clearly show a high activity of the gland at the time of hatching, followed by a rapid degeneration independent of the queens' mating status. We therefore hypothesize the glandular secretion serves to stimulate workers to remove the queens' pupal skin. Experiments to compare hatching ability of isolated pupae and pupae assisted by workers confirmed the necessity of worker assistance, which is even more crucial to allow proper wing formation in queens and males. Together with the histological data, this suggests that the mandibular gland may indeed play a role in the social facilitation of hatching, although bioassays are required to give decisive answers about the mandibular gland's function. 相似文献

The timing of egg hatching in Cryptotympana facialis was examined in relation to short-term weather conditions. The brief underwater submergence, once a week, of dead twigs bearing cicada egg nests resulted in high hatching rates both at 25 degrees C and under outdoor conditions protected from rainfall. Under outdoor conditions with natural rainfall, most eggs hatched on rainy days. There was a significant positive correlation between the number of hatching eggs and daily relative humidity (RH). When eggs picked from twigs were exposed to various humidity levels, many eggs hatched quickly at higher humidity without direct contact with liquid water. Newly hatched nymphs showed a low tolerance to desiccation; at 81% RH at 25 degrees C, most of them died within 6 h. Under outdoor conditions, most nymphs died within 2 h on sunny days, whereas nymphs survived longer on rainy days. When newly hatched nymphs were released on dry ground, only 24% of them succeeded in burrowing into the soil, and many were killed by ants or desiccation. However, 92% of nymphs released onto wet ground successfully burrowed into it. The direct induction of hatching by high humidity ensures the survival and establishment in the soil of newly hatched nymphs in this species. 相似文献

The effects of a range of commercially available proteases and glycosidases on blastocyst development and hatching were examined on rabbit embryos cultured from the morula stage in a defined medium supplemented with charcoal-treated bovine serum albumin. The proteases tested were trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, thrombin, elastase, plasmin, papain, clostripain, collagenase, Streptomyces griseus protease and cathepsin C. The glycosidases tested were neuraminidase, alpha-mannosidase, beta-galactosidase and hyaluronidase. None of these enzymes appeared to stimulate blastocyst growth. The only enzymes which digested the embryonic investments, the zona and mucin coat, sufficiently to cause complete blastocyst hatching were trypsin and Streptomyces griseus protease at relatively low concentrations (250 ng/ml) and chymotrypsin and elastase at higher concentrations. 相似文献

Plasma lipoproteins, tissue cholesterol overload, and skeletal muscle apolipoprotein A-I synthesis in the developing chick 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
P Tarugi D Reggiani E Ottaviani S Ferrari R Tiozzo S Calandra 《Journal of lipid research》1989,30(1):9-22
In the present study we investigated the changes of plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and tissue lipids that occur during the late embryonic life (5 days before hatching) and the postnatal period (0, 2, 7, 14, and 30 days after hatching) of the chick. The chick emerges from the egg with extreme hypercholesterolemia associated with a high level of cholesterol-rich VLDL + IDL. The density gradient profile of plasma lipoproteins showed that the concentrations of VLDL + IDL and LDL decreased during the first week of postnatal life, whereas HDL concentration increased sharply around hatching and remained stable afterwards. All plasma lipoprotein classes of the newborn chick (2 days from hatching) were enriched in cholesterol and cholesteryl esters; 2 weeks after hatching, the relative amount of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters decreased. In the newborn chick, plasma VLDL + IDL consisted of two populations of cholesteryl ester-rich lipoproteins: the main one (designated apoB-VLDL) contained apoB and no apoA-I; the other (designated apoA-I-VLDL) contained predominantly apoA-I. In the newborn chick there was an accumulation of free and esterified cholesterol in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the skeletal muscle. These cholesterol deposits were depleted 2 to 7 days after hatching. The depletion in skeletal muscle was preceded by and associated with a striking increase in the synthesis of apoA-I in this tissue, as demonstrated by immunological methods and apoA-I mRNA measurements. In addition, apoA-I-containing HDL were secreted in vitro by explants of skeletal muscle of the newborn chick. The synthesis of apoA-I in the skeletal muscle decreased to the level found in the adult animal 1 week after hatching. It is likely that the rise of HDL and apoA-I in plasma observed 1-2 days after hatching reflects the production of apoA-I-containing HDL by skeletal muscle. We suggest that the cholesterol overload in skeletal muscle might stimulate the production of apoA-I which, in turn, would promote the removal of cholesterol from this tissue. The hypothesis that metabolic stimuli play a role in inducing apoA-I synthesis in skeletal muscle is supported by the observation that feeding the newborn chick a diet rich in proteins and lipids and free of carbohydrates delays the fall of apoA-I mRNA which normally occurs 1 week after hatching. 相似文献

Environmentally cued hatching in reptiles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Doody JS 《Integrative and comparative biology》2011,51(1):49-61
Evidence is accumulating for the widespread occurrence of environmentally cued hatching (ECH) in animals, but its diversity and distribution across taxa are unknown. Herein I review three types of ECH in reptiles: early hatching, delayed hatching, and synchronous hatching. ECH is currently known from 43 species, including turtles, crocodilians, lizards, snakes, tuatara, and possibly worm lizards. Early hatching caused by physical disturbance (e.g., vibrations) is the most commonly reported ECH across all groups; although it apparently serves an antipredator function in some species, its adaptive value is unknown in most. Delayed hatching, characterized by metabolic depression or embryonic aestivation, and sometimes followed by a hypoxic cue (flooding), occurs in some turtles and possibly in monitor lizards and crocodilians; in some of these species delayed hatching serves to defer hatching from the dry season until the more favorable conditions of the wet season. Synchronous hatching, whereby sibling eggs hatch synchronously despite vertical thermal gradients in the nest, occurs in some turtles and crocodilians. Although vibrations and vocalizations in hatching-competent embryos can stimulate synchronous hatching, cues promoting developmentally less advanced embryos to catch up with more advanced embryos have not been confirmed. Synchronous hatching may serve to dilute predation risk by promoting synchronous emergence or reduce the period in which smells associated with hatching can attract predators to unhatched eggs. Within species, advancing our understanding of ECH requires three types of studies: (1) experiments identifying hatching cues and the plastic hatching period, (2) experiments disentangling hypotheses about multiple hatching cues, and (3) investigations into the environmental context in which ECH might evolve in different species (major predators or abiotic influences on the egg, embryo, and hatchling). Among species and groups, surveys for ECH are required to understand its evolutionary history in reptiles. The probability of ECH occurring is likely influenced by a species's life history, ecology, behavior, and interrelationships with other species (e.g., sizes of predator and prey). More broadly, the discovery of embryo-embryo communication as a mechanism for synchronous hatching in crocodilians and turtles indicates that the social behavior of (nonavian) reptiles has been underestimated. 相似文献

Embryonic calls occur 1–3 d before hatching among precocial and some altricial birds. In precocial species, calls may synchronize hatching among siblings or, in semi-precocial species, elicit parental attention to, and often thermoregulation of, the hatching egg. Much less is known about the functional significance of calls in fully altricial species. In this study, naturalistic observations and laboratory experiments were used to document factors affecting calling and the parental responses to calls in one altricial species, the budgerigar Melopsittacus undulatus. Budgerigar chicks hatch asynchronously and vocalize 24–48 h before hatching. Embryonic calling rates increase at higher egg temperatures, and also as embryos near hatching. Parents easily locate a calling egg in their clutch, even among a large brood of much older, vocalizing nestlings. Furthermore, they actively assist in the last stages of hatching by helping to break the shell along the crack in the egg. Both observational and experimental evidence suggests that embryonic vocalizations are distinctive signals that increase parental attention and care, and may stimulate hatching assistance to a calling egg. 相似文献

A 2-year study was conducted in field microplots to determine the relative importance of soybean phenology and soil temperature on induction of dormancy in Heterodera glycines in Missouri. Four near-isogenic soybean lines differing for maturity date were planted in microplots infested with a race 5 isolate of H. glycines. Soil temperature was monitored at a depth of 15 cm. Eggs of H. glycines, extracted from cysts collected monthly from each microplot, were used in hatching tests and bioassays to determine dormancy. Egg hatching and second-stage juvenile (J2) infectivity rates decreased sharply from their highest levels in midsummer (July-August) to a low level by October of each year and remained low (< 10% hatching and < 0.2 J2/cm root) until May or June of the following year. The patterns of numbers of females and eggs in the bioassays were similar. The decreases were not related to soil temperature and did not differ consistently among soybean isolines. The monophasic changes in all nematode responses with peak midsummer rates suggest that H. glycines produces one primary generation per year in central Missouri. Changes in hatching rates and the timing of minimum and maximum rates suggested that H. glycines eggs exhibit more than one type of dormancy. 相似文献

The pattern of cyst distribution in the absence of turbation and their hatching behaviour were studied in an outdoor artificial pool, where just differentiated adults of the anostracan Chirocephalus ruffoi (sex ratio 1:3) lived until it dried up. The horizontal and vertical distributions of cysts in the pool bed were determined. The comparison between cyst bank estimate (Mura , 2004) and the actual number of cysts counted in the pool bed revealed an estimate error of 20.9%. Resting eggs occurred only in the upper 2.5 cm thick soil sections and decreased within this section as depth increased. Peripheral areas of the pool contained significantly larger numbers of cysts than the central area. Multiway analysis on the results recorded in hatching success (nested ANOVA) revealed that the differences were significantly affected by initial soil conditions, treatment and vertical distribution of cysts. Among these factors, vertical distribution (sections nested in cores) was the most influential. Hatching success was significantly inversely related to depth. Differences in the timing of hatching depending on the above considered factors were also noted. A nearly synchronous hatching pattern was observed only for cysts from initially dry sediment of the uppermost layers. In all successively deeper layers, hatching showed multiple peaks and was increasingly delayed and erratic (already mentioned). ANCOVA within each of the experimental conditions revealed significant differences in hatching frequencies (time as covariate) depending on sediment depth. Within any given layer, ANCOVA revealed a significant influence of initial sediment conditions and treatment on the timing of hatching. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

This study established the first protocol for collection of gametes from live axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, by gentle abdominal massage and in vitro fertilization. To stimulate spermiation and ovulation, human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and Ovopel pellets, which are commercially used to stimulate spawning in fish, were tested. The hCG was more effective than Ovopel pellets and yielded a higher semen volume in the injected males and a shorter response time in the females. Collected semen by this method was already motile and fertile. Fertile eggs could be collected in 3-4 successive collection times after the female has started the typical spawning behaviour. The fertilization condition that yielded the highest hatching rate was mixing semen with eggs before the addition of a fertilization saline solution (20 mmol/l NaCl, 1 mmol/l KCl, 1 mmol/l Mg2SO4, 1 mmol Ca2Cl, 3 mmol NaHCO3, 10 mmol/l Tris, pH 8.5 - Osmolality = 65 mosmol/kg). When the pH of the fertilization solution was increased to ≥ 10, the hatching rate was significantly increased. The use of fertilization solutions with osmolalities of ≥ 150 and ≥ 182 were accompanied with a significant decrease in hatching rates and the appearance of deformed larvae, respectively. In conclusion, a reliable protocol for gamete collection from live axolotl is established as a laboratory model of in vitro fertilization for urodele amphibians. This protocol may be transferable to endangered urodeles. 相似文献
