甲胺磷和乙酰甲胺磷对萼花臂尾轮虫实验种群动态的影响

应用3天种群增长实验方法,在(25±1)℃、无光照、以3.0×106 cells/mL的斜生栅藻为轮虫的食物等条件下,研究了亚致死浓度(0.01、0.1、1.0、10.0、100.0、1000.0和10000.0 µg/L)的甲胺磷和乙酰甲胺磷对萼花臂尾轮虫实验种群动态的影响。结果显示,甲胺磷和乙酰甲胺磷显著地影响萼花臂尾轮虫的种群增长率、混交雌体数与非混交雌体数的比值和混交率。甲胺磷显著地影响萼花臂尾轮虫种群中的带卵雌体数与不带卵雌体数的比值,但乙酰甲胺磷对其无显著的影响。和对照组相比,浓度为100.0 µg/L 的甲胺磷和浓度为1.0－10,000.0 µg/L 的乙酰甲胺磷均使轮虫种群增长率显著增大,而浓度为1000.0 µg/L和10000.0 µg/L的甲胺磷却使之显著减小;1000.0 µg/L 的甲胺磷使轮虫种群中的带卵雌体数与不带卵雌体数的比值显著上升,0.1 µg/L的甲胺磷和10.0－10000.0 µg/L的乙酰甲胺磷均使轮虫种群中的混交雌体数与非混交雌体数的比值显著上升,0.1µg/L 的甲胺磷和10 µg/L的乙酰甲胺磷均使轮虫的混交率显著增大,10.0－0000.0 µg/L 的乙酰甲胺磷使轮虫休眠卵产量显著提高。上述结果表明,亚致死浓度的甲胺磷和乙酰甲胺磷对萼花臂尾轮虫实验种群动态具有显著的影响。

邻苯二甲酸酯类物质对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长和有性生殖的影响

以萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflourus)为受试动物,以17β-雌二醇(E2)为阳性对照,运用3d种群增长和4d休眠卵产量实验方法研究了不同浓度的邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(DBP)、邻苯二甲酸二异辛酯(DEHP)和邻苯二甲酸丁苄酯(BBP)对轮虫种群增长和有性生殖的影响。结果显示,与空白对照组相比,0.05-5000μg/L的E2和500μg/L的BBP显著提高了轮虫种群增长率,而0.5和5000μg/L的DBP以及0.05和0.5μg/L的BBP使轮虫种群增长率显著降低;0.5-500μg/L的E2、50和500μg/L的DBP、0.005和500μg/L的DEHP和500μg/L的BBP显著提高了轮虫的休眠卵产量,而5000μg/L的DBP和0.05μg/L的BBP却与其相反;5和500μg/L的E2、50和500μg/L的DEHP以及500μg/L的DBP和BBP均使轮虫混交率显著上升,而0.005和0.05μg/L的E2、5000μg/L的DBP和DEHP及0.5μg/L的BBP显著降低了轮虫种群中混交雌体受精率;除5000μg/L的E2显著降低轮虫种群中的混交雌体数/非混交雌体数之外,其它所有处理组均对其无显著性影响;5、500和5000μg/L的E2、5000μg/L的DBP和5-5000μg/L的DEHP均使轮虫种群中的带卵雌体数/不带卵雌体数显著升高,而BBP对其无显著影响。在实验设置浓度范围内,轮虫种群中的混交雌体数/非混交雌体数与E2浓度间、轮虫种群中的混交雌体受精率和种群增长率与DBP浓度间、轮虫休眠卵产量与DEHP浓度间、轮虫混交率与BBP浓度间均具有显著的效应-剂量关系

采用种群累积培养法,研究了藻类食物的种类和密度对萼花臂尾轮虫休眠卵形成的影响。结果表明,萼花臂尾轮虫的休眠卵主要在开始培养后的６天内形成。在０．１ｍｇ／ｍｌ的食物密度下,与蛋白核小球藻相比,斜生栅藻或斜生栅藻和蛋白核小球藻经１：１（湿重）组成的混合藻均能显著地提高休眠卵的产量和形成效率,同时也使轮虫种群中的平均混交雌体百分率和产休眠卵的混交雌体的平均产卵量明显增大,但对平均混交雌体受精率无显著影响     

氯氰菊酯和溴氰菊酯对萼花臂尾轮虫生殖的影响

以萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)为受试动物,运用3d种群增长和4d休眠卵产量实验方法研究了不同浓度的氯氰菊酯(31.25、62.5、125、250、500、1000 μg/L和2000 μg/L)和溴氰菊酯(15.63、31.25、62.5、125、250μg/L和500 μg/L)对轮虫生殖的影响.结果显示,氯氰菊酯浓度对轮虫种群增长率、轮虫种群中的OF/NOF值和MF/AF值、混交率和休眠卵产量均有显著影响(P均＜0.001),但对轮虫混交雌体受精率无显著的影响(P＞0.05);溴氰菊酯浓度对轮虫种群增长率、轮虫种群中的MF/AF值、混交率和休眠卵产量均有显著影响(P均＜0.05),但对轮虫种群中的OF/NOF值和混交雌体受精率均无显著的影响(P＞0.05).与空白对照组相比,31.25-125 μg/L的氯氰菊酯和除31.25 μg/L外所有浓度的溴氰菊酯都显著升高了轮虫的种群增长率,而1000 μg/L和2000 μg/L的氯氰菊酯却显著降低了轮虫的种群增长率;500 μg/L的氯氰菊酯使轮虫种群中的带卵雌体数/不带卵雌体数显著升高,而各浓度的溴氰菊酯对其无显著影响;62.5 μg/L和125 μg/L的氯氰菊酯显著升高了轮虫种群中的混交雌体数/非混交雌体数,而15.63 μg/L的溴氰菊酯却显著降低了轮虫种群中的混交雌体数/非混交雌体数;62.5-250 μg/L的氯氰菊酯显著升高了轮虫混交率,而500-2000 μg/L的氯氰菊酯以及15.63、31.25、250 μg/L和500μg/L的溴氰菊酯却均显著降低了轮虫混交率;62.5 μg/L和125 μg/L的氯氰菊酯以及15.63 μg/L和125 μg/L的溴氰菊酯均显著升高了轮虫的休眠卵产量.包括空白对照组在内,所有测试液内的轮虫混交雌体受精率均为零.在实验设置的浓度范围内,氯氰菊酯浓度与轮虫的种群增长率、轮虫种群中的混交雌体数/非混交雌体数及轮虫混交率间均具有显著的剂量-效应关系.     

镜湖常见臂尾轮虫(Brachionus)种群周年动态及生活史对策

对镜湖臂尾轮虫种群的周年动态进行了研究,测量和分析了它们的个体大小、卵大小和相对卵大小及其与水温和叶绿素a浓度等生态因子间的关系。结果表明,镜湖常见的7种臂尾轮虫中,仅萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)、角突臂尾轮虫(B.angularis)、裂足臂尾轮虫(B.diversicornis)和剪形臂尾轮虫(B.forficula)的种群密度和出现频率较高;前两者种群密度高峰期均出现在2~3月份,4月份后均较低;后两者种群密度在6~9月份较高,而在10月份后很快下降。除剪形臂尾轮虫外,其它3种臂尾轮虫的个体体积均与水温间具有显著的相关性,平均卵体积均与各自的平均被甲长度呈显著的正相关关系。角突臂尾轮虫和萼花臂尾轮虫个体大小与水体叶绿素a浓度间呈显著的负相关关系,它们的卵体积分别与水温和叶绿素a浓度之间具有显著的负相关性,且水温是影响它们卵体积的主要因子。4种臂尾轮虫中,仅角突臂尾轮虫的相对卵体积与水温间表现出显著的正相关关系。     

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。     

卜氏晶囊轮虫对萼花臂尾轮虫形态及种群生活史对策的短期和长期影响

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。     

盐酸四环素浓度和食物密度对萼花臂尾轮虫生活史特征的综合影响

近年来,抗生素的环境污染问题已引起人们的广泛关注,其在环境中的残留可对水生态系统的结构和功能产生重要影响。迄今,盐酸四环素浓度和食物密度对轮虫生活史特征的影响研究尚未见报道。以萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)为受试动物,研究了在不同斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)密度下,不同浓度的盐酸四环素(Tetracycline hydrochloride)对萼花臂尾轮虫生活史特征的影响。结果表明,食物密度和盐酸四环素浓度对轮虫的生命期望、净生殖率、世代时间、内禀增长率、平均寿命和后代混交率,以及食物密度和盐酸四环素浓度间交互作用对除了内禀增长率外的其他5个统计学参数均具有显著影响。在各食物密度下,轮虫的特定年龄繁殖率高峰值随着盐酸四环素浓度的增加呈现先增加后降低的趋势;盐酸四环素对轮虫生长和繁殖参数的影响呈现"低促高抑"的特点。3个食物密度下,高浓度的盐酸四环素显著提高了萼花臂尾轮虫的后代混交率,且在1.0×10~6个/mL藻密度下毒物浓度与轮虫后代混交率间具有显著的剂量-效应关系。食物密度的高低显著影响盐酸四环素对萼花臂尾轮虫的毒性效应。     

Effect of juvenile hormone and serotonin (5-HT) on mixis induction of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis Muller

Juvenile hormone (JH) and serotonin (5-HT) were previously shown to enhance mictic (sexual) female production of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis in batch cultures. To explore the basis of these effects, experiments were conducted on isolated individuals. JH treatment of maternal rotifers with 5 and 50 μgml(-1) (18.8 and 187.7 μM) resulted in significantly higher (P<0.05) mictic female production in the second (F(2)) and third (F(3)) generations. JH treatment was effective even at a lower food concentration of 7x10(5) cellsml(-1), but it was not effective when free ammonia was added at 2.4 and 3.1 μgml(-1). Mictic female production was not increased with exposure to 5-HT up to 50 μgml(-1) (129.1 μM) concentrations. When food level was reduced to 7x10(5) cellsml(-1), however, 5-HT-treated rotifers produced significantly (P<0.05) more mictic females than the control, particularly in F(3) generation. Mictic female production of 5-HT-treated rotifers did not differ from that of the control with or without free ammonia, but the intrinsic rate of natural increase (r) of 5-HT-treated rotifers at 3.1 μgml(-1) free ammonia was significantly higher than the control. These results show that juvenile hormone increases mictic female production under optimum and sub-optimum food levels, whereas 5-HT increases both mictic female production at low food level and population growth rate at high free ammonia concentrations. These compounds could be used to manage rotifer cultures and probe the mechanisms controlling the rotifer life cycle as it switches to mictic reproduction.     

Effects of three organophosphorus pesticides on population growth and sexual reproduction of rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus Pallas

Effects of organophosphorus pesticides including dichlorvos, triazophos and chlorpyrifos on population growth and sexual reproduction of freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus were studied by 3-d population growth and 4-d resting egg production tests. The results showed that all the three organophosphorus pesticides influenced significantly the population growth rate, the ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females in the rotifer populations and the resting egg production of the rotifers. Both dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos influenced markedly the mictic rate of the rotifers, but triazophos did not. Compared to the controls, both dichlorvos at 10.0–1000.0 μg/L and chlorpyrifos at 0.01–100.0 μg/L increased the population growth rate, but the reverse was also true for dichlorvos and triazophos both at 10000.0 μg/L. Chlorpyrifos at 10000.0 μg/L made the rotifers dead after 24-hr exposure. Dichlorvos and triazophos both at 10000.0 μg/L, and chlorpyrifos at 1000.0 μg/L all increased the ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females. Both dichlorvos at 10000.0 μg/L and chlorpyrifos at 0.1–100.0 μg/L increased the mictic rate. Dichlorvos at 10.0 μg/L and 100.0 μg/L, and triazophos and chlorpyrifos both at 0.1–100.0 μg/L increased the resting egg production. Both population growth rate and ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females are suitable endpoints for assessing the effects of dichlorvos, triazophos and chlorpyrifos, and mictic rate is a suitable endpoint for monitoring the effects of dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos on the reproduction of the rotifers. Both population growth rate and ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females are more sensitive to dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos than mictic rate.     

孤雌生殖累积世代数和雌体年龄对萼花臂尾轮虫繁殖的影响

采用单个体培养方法,研究了孤雌生殖的累积世代数和雌体年龄对萼花臂尾轮虫混交雌体形成和产卵量的影响,结果表明,随着轮虫孤雌生殖累积世代数和增加,各代中的总混交雌体百分率呈减小的趋势,年轮的雌体可产生较多的混交雌体,非混交雌体所产后代中的总混交雌体百分率具有随其祖母年龄的增大而增大的趋势,孤雌生殖的累积世代数对轮对轮虫非混交雌体的平均产卵量无显著的影响,非混交雌体的年龄对其报代的平均产卵量亦无显著的影响。     

Effect of diazinon on life stages and resting egg hatchability of rotifer Brachionus plicatilis

The effects of organophosphate pesticide, diazinon, on life history parameters and hatchability of resting eggs of rotifer Brachionus plicalitis were assessed. Newly hatched (<1 h-old) neonates were individually cultured in six varying concentrations (0/control, 0.1, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/l) of diazinon. The life history parameters such as time (h) the rotifers bear first egg and release first neonate, reproductive period, net reproductive rate, mixis, intrinsic rate of population increase, and life span were evaluated. Results showed that among the life history parameters, the time the rotifers took to release neonates is the most sensitive, giving the lowest EC₅₀ value of 1.24 mg/l. The fecundity of maternal females, amictic and mictic daughters was also investigated. Rotifers exposed to 10.0 mg/l produced significantly fewer amictic daughters, and at this concentration, rotifers did not produce any mictic daughter. At 5.0 mg/l, the number of male offspring was significantly lower than the control. Furthermore, the hatchability of resting eggs produced by the rotifers was evaluated when exposed to diazinon: from birth until they produced resting eggs (early development); during late developmental stage of resting eggs (before diapause); and during diapausing stage. The hatchability of the resting eggs was not affected when exposure was timed at late developmental and diapausing stages. Overall results showed that even though amictic females reproduced normally in the presence of low-concentration of diazinon, sexual reproduction is severely affected, especially the hatchability of resting eggs when the exposure was timed on its early developmental stages.

Sexual reproduction and diapause of Hexarthra sp. (Rotifera) in short-lived ponds in the Chihuahuan Desert

1. In the life cycle of monogonont rotifers it is generally assumed that diapausing eggs invariably hatch into amictic stem females which produce female offspring parthenogenetically. Diapausing eggs are only produced by later generations after sexual reproduction has been induced by environmental cues. 2. We show that populations of an undescribed Hexarthra species inhabiting small temporary ponds in the Chihuahuan Desert deviate from this life cycle pattern. These ponds may dry within days and up to 85% of females were mictic. Females producing male offspring and diapausing eggs were observed 1 or 2 days, respectively, after ponds had filled with water. 3. Under laboratory conditions, 7–46% of females hatching from re‐hydrated sediments were sexual. Male offspring of these females can fertilise other mictic stem females leading to diapausing egg formation. In laboratory experiments, females produced fully developed diapausing eggs within 1.9 days at 20 °C and 1.2 days at 30 °C. 4. In addition, embryonic development time (1.1–0.3 days at temperatures between 12 and 30 °C) and juvenile period (2.1–0.5 days for the same temperature range) are shorter than those of other rotifer species. In short‐lived habitats, the potential for rapid population development and production of new diapausing eggs may be crucial in the long‐term survival of populations.     

甲胺磷和17β－雌二醇对萼花臂尾轮虫实验种群动态的影响

对暴露于不同浓度的甲胺磷(0.01、0.1、1.0、10.0、100.0、1 000.0和10 000.0 μg·L-1)和17β-雌二醇(0.001、0.01、0.1、1.0、10.0、100.0、和1 000.0 μg·L-1)溶液中的萼花臂尾轮虫的种群动态进行了研究.结果表明:甲胺磷和17β-雌二醇对轮虫种群动态的影响存在差异.甲胺磷和17β-雌二醇对实验期间轮虫的平均种群增长率均有显著影响,但对轮虫种群中的混交雌体受精率的平均值无显著影响;甲胺磷对实验期间轮虫种群中的携卵雌体数/非携卵雌体数和混交雌体百分率的平均值均有显著影响,而17β-雌二醇则无显著影响;甲胺磷对实验期间轮虫的休眠卵总产量无显著影响,而17β-雌二醇的影响较显著.与对照相比,10.0～10 000.0 μg·L-1的甲胺磷和100.0 μg·L-1的17β-雌二醇均使轮虫的平均种群增长率显著提高;0.1～10 000.0和10.0 μg·L-1的甲胺磷分别显著地降低了实验期间轮虫种群中的携卵雌体数/非携卵雌体数和混交雌体百分率的平均值;1 000.0 μg·L-1的17β-雌二醇显著降低了轮虫的休眠卵总产量.在实验浓度范围内,轮虫平均种群增长率(Y,d-1)与甲胺磷浓度(X,μg·L-1)之间的关系为Y=-2×10-8X2 0.0002X 0.3474.种群增长率可用于监测和评价甲胺磷对轮虫种群动态的影响.     

Influence de l'âge des grand-parents sur l'apparition des mâles chez le Rotifère Notommata copeus Ehr.

When parental females (♀♀P = mothers) of the rotifer Notommata copeus are placed in light conditions inducing the appearance of mictic females in their offspring (F₁), the age of the parents of these parental females significantly affects the ratio of mictic females in the F₁ generation.

The preparental females (♀♀PP = grandmothers), the parental females and the F₁ females are isolated in a medium changed at each generation and, in the second experimental series, changed daily: the preparental age effect implicates the transmission of substances on two generations.

This influence of the preparental age is rhythmic: the ratio of mictic females in F₁ related to this age varies in a sinusoidal manner. This influence is endogenous: it persists, always in a sinusoidal form, when the medium in which each grandmother is placed is changed daily.

Furthermore, the net reproduction ratio, Ro, does not vary significantly with the preparental age during these experiments.     

The Effect of Food Concentration on the Life History of Three Types of Brachionus calyciflorus Females

The effect of food concentration on the life history of three types of Brachionus calyciflorus females (amictic, unfertilized mictic and fertilized mictic female) was studied with replicated individual cultures at 25 ° and at four food concentrations (1.5, 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 × 10⁶ cells mL^—1) of Scenedesmus obliquus. There were highly significant effects of both food concentration and female type, independently and in interaction on the duration of juvenile period of the rotifer, but neither were the effects on the duration of post‐reproductive period and mean life‐span. The duration of juvenile period of unfertilized mictic female at the food concentration of 9.0 × 10⁶ cells mL^—1 was the longest among all the food concentration‐female type combinations. Both food concentration and female type influenced significantly the duration of reproductive period and the number of eggs produced by each type of female per life cycle, respectively. There was, however, no significant interaction between food level and female type. Among the three types of females, the number of eggs produced by an unfertilized mictic female was the largest, and that of a fertilized mictic female was the smallest.     

Effects of three organophosphorus pesticides on population growth and sexual reproduction of rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus Pallas

Effects of organophosphorus pesticides including dichlorvos, triazophos and chlorpyrifos on population growth and sexual reproduction of freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus were studied by 3-d population growth and 4-d resting egg production tests. The results showed that all the three organophosphorus pesticides influenced significantly the population growth rate, the ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females in the rotifer populations and the resting egg production of the rotifers. Both dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos influenced markedly the mictic rate of the rotifers, but triazophos did not. Compared to the controls, both dichlorvos at 10.0–1000.0 μg/L and chlorpyrifos at 0.01–100.0 μg/L increased the population growth rate, but the reverse was also true for dichlorvos and triazophos both at 10000.0 μg/L. Chlorpyrifos at 10000.0 μg/L made the rotifers dead after 24-hr exposure. Dichlorvos and triazophos both at 10000.0 μg/L, and chlorpyrifos at 1000.0 μg/L all increased the ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females. Both dichlorvos at 10000.0 μg/L and chlorpyrifos at 0.1–100.0 μg/L increased the mictic rate. Dichlorvos at 10.0 μg/L and 100.0 μg/L, and triazophos and chlorpyrifos both at 0.1–100.0 μg/L increased the resting egg production. Both population growth rate and ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females are suitable endpoints for assessing the effects of dichlorvos, triazophos and chlorpyrifos, and mictic rate is a suitable endpoint for monitoring the effects of dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos on the reproduction of the rotifers. Both population growth rate and ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females are more sensitive to dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos than mictic rate.
