The effects of hypervolemia and graded increases in arginine vasotocin (AVT), angiotensin II (ANGII), and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on lymph heart pressure (P(lh)) and rate (f(lh)) were examined in Bufo marinus and Rana catesbeiana. The P(lh) and f(lh) for normally hydrated B. marinus at rest were 1.45+/-0.01 kPa and 52.8+/-0.38 beats min(-1). The P(lh) and f(lh) were significantly lower in R. catesbeiana, 1.05+/-0.01 kPa and 48.4+/-0.35 beats min(-1). Hypervolemia, induced by intravenous infusion of isotonic saline, stopped the lymph hearts at volumes of 0.48%+/-0.06% and 0.32%+/-0.04% body mass in B. marinus and R. catesbeiana, respectively, equivalent to an 8% increase of their respective plasma volumes. ANP had no effect on P(lh) or f(lh) at any of the dosages tested. ANGII decreased f(lh) in both species, approximating the physiological range of concentrations. AVT, at physiological concentrations, increased P(lh) 48% in B. marinus and 38% in R. catesbeiana without changing f(lh) in either species. At higher than physiological dosages, P(lh) and f(lh) in both species declined. The results suggest that AVT, normally released during hemorrhage and dehydration, would increase lymph heart output and help compensate for the hypovolemia. This is a contrary result to previous work using supraphysiologic doses of AVT. 相似文献

Graded erythrocythemia was induced by isovolemic loading of packed red blood cells in the toad, Bufo marinus. Blood viscosity, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, maximal aortic blood flow rate and maximal rates of oxygen consumption were determined after each load. Blood viscosity was related to hematocrit in the expected exponential manner; ln eta = 0.43 + 0.035 Hct. Maximal blood flow rates in the dorsal aorta were inversely proportional to blood viscosity and fit predictions of the Poiseuille-Hagen flow formula. The effect of increased blood viscosity was to reduce aortic pulse volume, but not maximal heart rate. Maximal systemic oxygen transport capacity (aortic blood flow rate X hemoglobin concentration X O2 binding capacity of hemoglobin) was linearly correlated with the maximal rate of oxygen consumption. These date indicate that optimal hematocrit theory is applicable for maximal blood flow rates in vivo, and that systemic oxygen transport is the primary limitation to aerial VO2 max in amphibians. 相似文献

Cardiac mitochondria were isolated from Bufo marinus and Rana catesbeiana, two species of amphibian whose cardiovascular systems are adapted to either predominantly aerobic or glycolytic modes of locomotion. Mitochondrial oxidative capacity was compared using VO2 max and respiratory control ratios in the presence of a variety of substrates including pyruvate, lactate, oxaloacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and octanoyl-carnitine. B. marinus cardiac mitochondria exhibited VO2 max values twice that of R. catesbeiana cardiac mitochondria when oxidizing carbohydrate substrates. Pyruvate transport was measured via a radiolabeled-tracer assay in isolated B. marinus and R. catesbeiana cardiac mitochondria. Time-course experiments described both alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate-sensitive (MCT-like) and phenylsuccinate-sensitive pyruvate uptake mechanisms in both species. Pyruvate uptake by the MCT-like transporter was enhanced in the presence of a pH gradient, whereas the phenylsuccinate-sensitive transporter was inhibited. Notably, anuran cardiac mitochondria exhibited activities of lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate carboxylase. The presence of both transporters on the inner mitochondrial membrane affords the net uptake of monocarboxylates including pyruvate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and lactate; the latter potentially indicating the presence of a lactate/pyruvate shuttle allowing oxidation of extramitochondrial NADH. Intramitochondrial lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate carboxylase enables lactate to be oxidized to pyruvate or converted to anaplerotic oxaloacetate. Kinetics of the MCT-like transporter differed significantly between the two species, suggesting differences in aerobic scope may be in part attributable to differences in mitochondrial carbohydrate utilization. 相似文献

Compliance of the subcutaneous lymph sacs of the hindlimbs increases from distal to proximal, as does limb segment mass (and presumably rate of lymph formation), for the semiaquatic bullfrog Rana catesbeiana and the cane toad Bufo marinus but not the aquatic clawed toad Xenopus laevis. Subcutaneous lymph-sac compliances vary interspecifically. The distal-to-proximal increase in lymph-sac compliance and estimates of lymph formation rate in the various hindlimb segments indicate that partitioning of hindlimb subcutaneous lymphatic sacs establishes a differential decrease in the intra-lymph-sac pressure for R. catesbeiana and B. marinus. These pressure differentials constitute a "compliance pump" that drives distal-to-proximal intersac lymph flow. The compliance pump alone explains lymphatic return for the aquatic frog X. laevis but does not explain how lymph would reach the dorsally located lymph hearts for terrestrial anurans, so we hypothesize that skeletal muscle pumps return lymph from the femoral and pubic lymph sacs to the lymph heart. This is a fundamentally different role of the subcutaneous lymph-sac system than has been previously proposed. We suggest that the more proximal subcutaneous lymph sacs are important for fluid storage because they have a relatively high compliance. 相似文献

Summary Third stage crayfish were maze tested to determine their preference for paired stimulus solutions of females in various breeding stages and of males. Formerly unattractive female crayfish begin to produce a brooding attractant when they deposit eggs (Fig. 1). The attractant become maximally effective when the eggs hatch (Fig. 2). Behavioral changes occur as larvae develop into the fourth stage and result in both a reduced larval attraction to any mother's stimulus (Figs. 3, 4) and a tendency to become solitary. At the same time the mother's attractant becomes less potent (Fig. 5). The mother receives feedback from her developing brood which maintains her behavior and attractive stimulus (Fig. 8). In the absence of this feedback, the mother's behavior changes to include larval predation in some species (Fig. 4, 6, 7) and her stimulus is no longer attractive (Figs. 8, 9).I gratefully acknowledge the help received from my graduate committee: Drs. Albert Carlson, Ronald R. Hoy, Emil W. Menzel and Charles Walcott.

研究了用不同浓度KCl和等浓度NaCl处理的盐生植物碱蓬幼苗水分代谢的变化.结果表明,NaCl处理显著促进碱蓬生长,根吸水增加,含水量高于对照.而相同浓度KCl处理却严重抑制碱蓬生长,含水量显著下降,400 mmol/L的 KCl处理后6 d,地上部分发生萎蔫,尔后死亡.KCl处理伤害碱蓬的原因之一是抑制根系吸水,而对蒸腾速率无显著影响,即水分吸收速率与蒸腾速率比值下降,植株缺水引起伤害. 相似文献

Summary Fixation behaviour of free walking wild typeDrosophila and various retinal mutants was tested in a circular arena. Optomotor response was also measured as a test of the function of R1-6.ora andsev,ora do not fixate a narrow stripe (10° or 20°, Fig. 1) but are able to orient towards broad stripes (110° or 180°, Fig. 1). The behaviour ofsev is not different from wild type. Fixation behaviour ofw rdgB is similar toora (Figs. 5, 6). The mutantora has a maximum optomotor response at low contrast frequencies (Fig. 2), but the threshold for this response is at least one log unit higher than in wild type orsev (Fig. 8). The light intensity threshold at 550 nm of fixation to a broad stripe (110°) is 1–2 log units higher inora than in wildtype, and 4 log units higher insev,ora and the structural brain mutantVam (Fig. 7).The conclusions are that retinula cells R1-6 mediate fixation to a narrow stripe at high and low ambient light intensities, and to a broad stripe at low ambient light levels. R8, possibly in conjunction with R1-6, contributes to orientation towards broad stripes at high light intensities. This hypothesis is supported by evidence that blue-adapted white-eyed flies are able to orient towards a broad stripe at high blue light intensities (Figs. 9 and 12). Blue adaptation totally eliminates the optomotor response (Figs. 10, 11) and so the optomotor response observed inora at low contrast frequencies (Figs. 2 and 8) is most likely due to the small remnants of the rhabdomeres of R1-6 that remain.Abbreviations

Male grasshoppers of the species Chorthippus biguttulus react to female songs with a characteristic turn towards the female. The probability of turning towards female song models was used to evaluate those parameters which are essential for a signal to be interpreted as female song.
- The shape of sound pulses turned out to be most decisive; pulses with ramps rising gradually over 3 and more ms were efficient (Figs. 2, 3), whereas rectangularly modulated pulses evoked only weak responses and only when pulse intervals were between 3 and 5 ms (Fig. 2). The decline of a pulse did not influence its efficiency (Fig. 3). In particular, pulses with sudden onsets and gradual declines were as weakly effective as rectangularly modulated ones and thus remarkably less effective than pulses with ramp-like onsets (Fig. 4).
- Intensity tuning curves suggest, that the absolute steepness of ramps (expressed as μbar/ms) is detected by the grasshopper nervous system (Figs. 6, 7), possibly by processing the delay in excitation onset of at least two receptor types differing in threshold sensitivity.
- The sawtooth shape of pulses in female signals is suggested to be adaptive with respect to directional hearing.

Resource partitioning of sonar frequency bands in rhinolophoid bats 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Summary In the Constant Frequency portions of the orientation calls of various Rhinolophus and Hipposideros species, the frequency with the strongest amplitude was studied comparatively. (1) In the five European species of the genus Rhinolophus call frequencies are either species-specific (R. ferrumequinum, R. blasii and R. euryale) or they overlap (R. hipposideros and R. mehelyi). The call frequency distributions are approximately 5–9 kHz wide, thus their ranges spead less than ±5% from the mean (Fig. 1). Frequency distributions are considerably narrower within smaller geographic areas. (2) As in other bat groups, call frequencies of the Rhinolophoidea are negatively correlated with body size (Fig. 3). Regression lines for the genera Rhinolophus and Rhinolophus, species from dryer climates have on the average higher call frequencies than species from tropical rain forests. (4) The Krau Game Reserve, a still largely intact rain forest area in Malaysia, harbours at least 12 syntopic Rhinolophus and Hipposiderso species. Their call frequencies lie between 40 and 200 kHz (Fig. 2). Distribution over the available frequency range is significantly more even than could be expected from chance alone. Two different null hypotheses to test for random character distribution were derived from frequency-size-relations and by sampling species assemblages from a species pool (Monte Carlo method); both were rejected. In particular, call frequencies lying close together are avoided (Figs. 4, 5). Conversely, the distribution of size ratios complied with a corresponding null hypothesis. This even distribution may be a consequence of resource partitioning with respect to prey type. Alternatively, the importance of these calls as social signals (e.g. recognition of conspecifics) might have necessitated a communication channel partitioning. 相似文献

Summary A new training and testing paradigm for walking sheep blowflies, Lucilia cuprina, is described. A fly is trained by presenting it with a droplet of sugar solution on a patch of coloured paper. After having consumed the sugar droplet, the fly starts a systematic search. While searching, it is confronted with an array of colour marks consisting of four colours displayed on the test cardboard (Fig. 1). Colours used for training and test include blue, green, yellow, orange, red, white and black.Before training, naive flies are tested for their spontaneous colour preferences on the test array. Yellow is visited most frequently, green least frequently (Table 2). Spontaneous colour preferences do not simply depend on subjective brightness (Table 1).The flies trained to one of the colours prefer this colour significantly (Figs. 5 and 9–11). This behaviour reflects true learning rather than sensitisation (Figs. 6–7). The blue and yellow marks are learned easily and discriminated well (Figs. 5, 9, 11). White is also discriminated well, although the response frequencies are lower than to blue and yellow (Fig. 11). Green is discriminated from blue but weakly from yellow and orange (Figs. 5, 9, 10). Red is a stimulus as weak as black (Figs. 8, 9). These features of colour discrimination reflect the spectral loci of colours in the colour triangle (Fig. 14).The coloured papers seem to be discriminated mainly by the hue of colours (Fig. 12), but brightness may also be used to discriminate colour stimuli (Fig. 13). 相似文献

An in vitro physiological preparation of a vertebrate communicatory behavior: chirping in the weakly electric fish, Apteronotus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

1. An in vitro preparation of the medullary pacemaker nucleus of the weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus was studied which fires regularly and synchronously at the fish's characteristic frequency of electric organ discharge (EOD). Upon bipolar stimulation of tissue regions through which pass prepacemaker nucleus afferents to the pacemaker, a brief, transient increase in discharge frequency ensued at short-latency (Fig. 1A). 2. Intracellular recordings revealed that the acceleration was accompanied by a depolarization and decline in action potential amplitude. The magnitude of these changes was both phase- (Fig. 5) and amplitude-dependent, with the latter showing an evident threshold effect (Figs. 4 and 12). The response was reversibly blocked by high Mg2+ saline (Fig. 1B), and the magnitude of the accelerations showed marked facilitation during repeated stimulation (Fig. 6). 3. Optical and histological identification allowed characteristically different responses in the intracellular recordings to be attributed to the two cell types of the pacemaker nucleus: pacemaker and relay cells (Figs. 2 and 3). Similar responses have been observed at these respective recording locations in the intact animal during chirping (Dye and Heiligenberg 1987). 4. Simultaneous recordings of pairs of cells revealed a transient change in the phase relationship of firing during the accelerations which was most marked between relay and pacemaker cells (Fig. 7). These dual recordings also revealed that the relay cells depolarize and accelerate more than pacemaker cells (Fig. 10), suggesting that they are the principal effectors of this behavioral modulation. 5. Trains of pulses additionally elicited a long-lasting frequency elevation which occurred at a slightly higher threshold than the brief accelerations. This slow frequency change relaxed back to baseline following a biexponential time course which closely resembled that of a distinct behavior seen in intact fish, termed 'yodeling' (Dye 1987). 相似文献
