不同地区蟪蛄蝉求偶鸣声的比较

北京西郊（BX）、陕西西安（SX）、四川峨嵋山（SE）、山东潍坊（SW）、福建福州（FF）和陕西杨陵（SY）地区蟪蛄蝉鸣声都含高潮声“Zhi…”声、脉冲的单一式调幅特性和高潮声的载波主频率（6433±375）Hz等基本相同,显示种的同一性。但是高潮声的基频和主频率的品质因数（Q3dB）等显示出不同程度的地区性种下差异。BX、SX和SE的基频相同（550Hz）,都为高Q3dB,即无明显的地区差异。SW和FF的基频分别为450Hz和650Hz,Q3dB都明显降低,即呈一定的地区差异。SY不仅呈节奏变化的单次声-高潮声-尾声的特有模式,而且基频增高为800Hz,即地区差异更明显。     

刺激家鸽中脑丘间复合体背内侧核诱发叫声与其自鸣声的比较

利用计算机声谱分析技术比较了家鸽刺激中脑丘间复合体背内侧核(DM)诱发叫声和其正常自鸣声。家鸽的单次自鸣声“di·Gu—”,包括前奏、高潮声和尾声,其主频率和相对幅值都呈明显的逐步递增、平稳和逐步下降过程。高潮声平稳期的载波主频率(318Hz)所表征的主音调比前奏和尾声的主频率(239Hz)分别平均高4.9个半音,相对幅值分别平均高24.4dB和13.2dB,品质因数(Q6dB)分别增高1.8倍和2.8倍。随着刺激电压的增大和减小,家鸽单次鸣声持续时间呈显著的线性递减和递增。诱发叫声的主频率显著性低于自鸣声,声图中有1-2个陪音。本实验为阐明非鸣禽发声调控提供声学特征上的依据     

扬子鳄幼鳄出壳前后的鸣声特征比较

成年扬子鳄(Alligator sinensis)的声信号已经有过深入的研究,然而其声音的个体发育,特别是幼鳄出壳前后鸣声的时空特征至今还不为人所知。为了解扬子鳄声音的发育过程,记录和分析了21只扬子鳄幼鳄的260个叫声,结果表明,幼鳄出壳前后的鸣声具有相似的特征,即开始向上的频率调节和较长的向下的频率调节。出壳前和出壳后的两组叫声均包括持续叠加的多组谐波,并且绝大多数的鸣声都是在第3谐波显示了最强的能量。分析了出壳前后鸣声的9个参数,即总时长、向上调频的时长、向下调频的时长、基频的起始频率、最高频率、结束频率、向上调频的倾斜度、向下调频的倾斜度、主频。除了向上调频的时长,出壳前后鸣声的其他时长参数均没有表现出显著差异。与之相反的是,出壳前后鸣声的频谱参数,特别是基频的最高频率和主频均表现出显著差异(P0.05)。出壳前鸣声基频的最高频率为(573±103)Hz,出壳后的声音最高频率(460±52)Hz,出壳前比出壳后高113 Hz;出壳前的声音主频(1 359±229)Hz,出壳后的声音主频(1 123±216)Hz,前者比后者高236 Hz。幼鳄发出主频较高的鸣叫有利于吸引附近母鳄的注意同时避免天敌的捕食。     

温度对温带和亚热带森林土壤有机碳矿化速率及酶动力学参数的影响

研究了温度对长白山阔叶红松林、鼎湖山常绿阔叶林2个不同纬度的森林土壤有机碳矿化速率和酶动力学参数的影响.结果表明:土壤有机碳矿化速率(C_min)随着温度的增加而增加,长白山土壤C_min及其温度敏感性(Q_10(Cmin))显著高于鼎湖山土壤.长白山土壤β-1,4-葡萄糖苷酶(βG)和β-1,4-N-乙酰葡糖氨糖苷酶(NAG)的酶动力学参数潜在最大反应速率(V_max)和半饱和常数(K_m)高于鼎湖山土壤,但鼎湖山土壤的催化效率(V_max/K_m)高于长白山土壤,表明随着温度的升高,土壤βG和NAG的V_max和V_max/K_m增加,K_m降低,即酶与底物的结合程度增加.鼎湖山土壤βG的Q_10(Vmax)、Q_10(Km)高于长白山土壤,这与土壤Q_10(Cmin)结果不一致.增温对长白山和鼎湖山森林土壤有机碳矿化及酶动力学参数的影响机制不同,在土壤生物化学过程对增温响应的模型中应区别考虑.     

云南景洪地区蝉鸣特点的分析

本文对云南景洪地区三种蝉:A.周氏尖瓣蝉Acutivalva chotti Yao,B.大狭瓣蝉Aola bindusara Distant,C.中华舌瓣蝉Linguvalva sinensis Chou et Yao的鸣声特点,及其晨鸣进行了分析。 蝉A和蝉B的鸣声都是由主峰频率为6.3 kHz的单次声群(SSG)和连续声群(CSG)组成的节律声。但是蝉A鸣声的节律平均周期、SSG中单次声的个数和CSG中调幅脉冲列的重复频率等都明显地与蝉B有区别。蝉C的鸣声是由重复频率约120Hz的调幅脉冲列组成的连续声,其主峰频率为5kHz。 蝉B的傍晚鸣声与午间鸣声相比较,其CSG中调幅脉冲列的重复频率和主峰频率等都是相同的,仅仅是节律的平均周期延长1.7秒,1/3倍频谱中低于1,000Hz的各个频率幅值明显下降。 这三种蝉晨间群鸣由前奏、高潮声和尾声组成。高潮声开始于6点(28±2)分,尾声终止于6点(43±2)分,是以24小时为周期的生物钟现象。 这些结果可能为蝉科分类和蝉的声通讯研究提供某些参考。

采集长白山脉龙岗支脉老秃顶子南坡3个不同海拔梯度森林(岳桦林、针阔混交林、红松林)土壤,进行室内温度梯度培养试验,研究土壤碳矿化速率(C_min)和土壤β-1,4-葡萄糖苷酶(β_G)动力学参数及温度敏感性.结果表明： 海拔和温度对C_min均有显著影响,3种森林土壤C_min均随着培养温度升高而增加,且岳桦林土壤C_min最高.3种森林土壤碳矿化速率温度敏感性\[Q₁₀(C_min)\]大小为岳桦林>红松林>针阔混交林,但差异不显著.3种森林土壤β_G动力学参数最大反应速率(V_max)和米氏常数(K_m)均随培养温度升高而增加,V_max的温度敏感性\[Q₁₀(V_max)\]为1.78～1.90,K_m的温度敏感性\[Q₁₀(K_m)\]为1.79～2.00.岳桦林Q₁₀(V_max)/Q₁₀(K_m)值显著高于红松林和针阔混交林,表明高海拔岳桦林土壤有机碳水解酶动力学参数受温度升高影响最大.     

土壤有机碳分解温度敏感性的影响机制研究进展

土壤有机碳(SOC)分解的温度敏感性(Q₁₀)是估算土壤碳收支动态的重要指标，但其空间变异特征及影响因素仍有较大的不确定性。本研究主要从气候环境、空间地理格局、土壤理化性质、植被类型、微生物群落组成及功能、全球气候变化等方面对Q₁₀的影响进行综述，总结各因子对Q₁₀影响的一般规律，比较其在不同生态系统中的相对贡献。Q₁₀随温度和降水的增加而减少，随纬度和海拔的升高而增加。草原SOC分解的Q₁₀高于森林，针叶林和落叶林SOC分解的Q₁₀高于常绿阔叶林。土壤碳(C)质量与Q₁₀呈反比，但在有外源底物输入时，C质量假说并不总是有效，在低质量土壤中提高底物可利用性可显著提高Q₁₀。Q₁₀随土壤中r策略型微生物(变形菌门、子囊菌门)比例的增加而降低，随K策略型微生物(酸杆菌门、担子菌门)比例的增加而增加。大气CO₂浓度升高增加了Q₁₀,而大气氮沉降降低了Q<...     

褐飞虱求偶鸣声中有效声段及其特征

对褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) 雌、雄虫播放求偶鸣声信号的不同声段及其组合,结果表明在它们求偶识别过程中,由多个规则连续的声脉冲所组成的声段是有效的。播放不同声脉冲重复频率和主振频率组合的模拟信号,表明褐飞虱雌、雄虫求偶信号的声脉冲重复频率是它们识别异性的敏感声学特征参数,其敏感范围较窄,分别为70～90 Hz和22 Hz左右;而对主振频率的敏感范围较宽,分别为200 ～1 700 Hz和100～300 Hz。     

覆膜与滴灌对河套灌区玉米花粒期叶片光合特征的影响

光合作用是作物生长发育和产量形成的基础,栽培方式和土壤含水量变化显著影响作物的光合作用.灌浆期和乳熟期是玉米花粒期2个重要阶段,是玉米籽粒形成和干物质积累的关键时期.通过大田试验研究了河套灌区不同覆膜方式与滴灌水平对不同生育时期玉米光合特征及产量的影响.结果表明: 灌浆期玉米叶片光合特征在不同处理下无显著差异,乳熟期净光合速率和蒸腾速率在半覆膜(B₂)和全覆膜(Q₂)滴灌水平2(350 mm)处理下均显著高于半覆膜(B₁)和全覆膜(Q₁)滴灌水平1(200 mm),并且B₁和Q₁处理下灌浆期叶片的净光合速率、蒸腾速率、水分利用效率及气孔导度等显著高于乳熟期.不同处理下灌浆期和乳熟期叶片的净光合速率、蒸腾速率,灌浆期的气孔导度以及乳熟期的水分利用效率等在日变化上存在着同步关系,均呈现出倒“U”型的日变化特征,而胞间CO₂浓度则呈现相反的变化趋势.逐步回归分析显示,光合有效辐射、大气温度和空气相对湿度等气象因子是影响玉米叶片光合特征的主要环境因子.此外,B₂和Q₂处理下玉米产量显著高于B₁和Q₁处理(分别增加了29.3%和50.9%),但B₁和Q₁处理间并无显著差异.这表明与覆膜方式相比,滴灌水平对干旱地区玉米产量的影响更大.     

不同培养温度下严重侵蚀红壤的有机碳矿化特征

研究侵蚀土壤有机质矿化及其温度敏感性(Q₁₀)对深入认识水土流失地区土壤有机碳动态变化具有重要意义。该文以福建省长汀县河田镇严重侵蚀区的裸露红壤为研究对象, 通过测定不同培养温度(10 ℃、20 ℃和30 ℃)下的土壤有机碳矿化速率、培养过程中微生物生物量碳(MBC)和可溶性有机碳(DOC)含量的变化, 探讨了温度对严重侵蚀红壤有机碳矿化特征的影响及其Q₁₀。结果表明: 温度对严重侵蚀红壤有机碳矿化具有显著影响, 温度越高土壤有机碳矿化速率和矿化率越高; 培养过程中土壤有机碳累积矿化量与MBC显著正相关, 与DOC极显著负相关, 说明微生物生物量和可利用碳含量显著影响土壤有机碳的矿化。尽管严重侵蚀红壤有机碳含量仅为1.54 g·kg^-1, 但培养180天的土壤有机碳的累积矿化率高达22.2%-33.3%, 表明侵蚀红壤有机碳容易被矿化。严重侵蚀红壤在10-20 ℃时的Q₁₀值为1.41, 20-30 ℃时Q₁₀值下降到1.06, 土壤有机碳质量低是导致Q₁₀值较低的重要原因, 而严重侵蚀区的红壤长期裸露使微生物对高温产生适应性是高温时Q₁₀值接近1的重要原因。因此, 在未来气候变暖的趋势下, 恢复植被覆盖对减少严重侵蚀红壤有机碳矿化损失具有重要意义。     

黑蚱蝉鸣声的结构和音色特征

本文对北京、河北和福建等地黑蚱蝉(Cryptotympana atrata Fabricius)的三种鸣声进行了分析,并对发声机理进行了讨论。 黑蚱蝉野外的自然鸣声具有基本相同的结构层次,都由重复频率为43—49Hz的节奏组成,每个节奏含有4个单音节,每个单音节含有3个脉冲群,每个脉冲群含有若干个脉冲。但是音色有明显的差异,即分别为单音色、双音色和具有高幅低频声的复合声。黑蚱蝉室内的惊鸣声和自鸣声,虽然音色有一定的变化,但仍保持自然鸣声的结构层次。鸣声的结构层次明显取决于发声膜的结构特征,这表明具有种类的特性。音色的差异性不仅与调音、扩音结构的功能有关,而且可能与发声膜的力学性质和发声的原初过程有关,即可能具有地区性和种下差异。 这些结果可为蝉类发声机制和有害昆虫声引诱的声学模型的研究提供依据。     

Low-frequency airborne vibrations generated by crickets during singing and aggression

When crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus) produce their calling, courtship and rivalry songs, they generate, in addition to the audible stridulatory sound, low-frequency air oscillations associated with the inward and outward movements of the forewings. The frequencies of these oscillations are below ca 70 Hz, with a major component at 30 Hz, the syllable repetition rate. In the courtship song, single oscillations are also produced. Jerking movements of the whole body, which often occur in the presence of rivals, cause considerable air currents. In all these cases the air vibrations are sufficient to be perceived both by the individual generating them and by conspecifics (and perhaps by other insects) via air-flow receptors, in crickets the cercal filiform hairs.     

Temporal patterns of intra- and interspecific acoustic signals differ in two closely related species of Acanthoplus (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Hetrodinae)

Males of the closely related African tettigoniids Acanthoplus discoidales and Acanthoplus longipes produce a long-lasting calling song and a short disturbance sound. The temporal patterns of the sounds were analysed in respect to species differences and song type differences. The calling songs of both species consist of impulses which are separated into verses of two syllables, with fewer impulses in the first syllable. A. longipes produces more impulses in each syllable than A. discoidales and has longer verse durations, verse intervals and syllable intervals. Also, the disturbance sounds, produced after mechanical stimulation, contain distinct verses of impulses. The disturbance sound of A. longipes has a higher number of impulses per verse than that of A. discoidales. The frequency spectra of the songs in both species have similar peak frequencies (around 12.5 kHz) and both species have their greatest hearing sensitivity in the range between 5 and 10 kHz. Females of A. longipes perform phonotaxis only to songs with a species-specific temporal pattern. By contrast, females of A. discoidales react positively to calling songs of both species.     

The responses of central acoustic and vibratory interneurones in bushcrickets and locusts to ultrasonic stimulation

ABSTRACT. Analysis of the ultrasonic content of the calling songs of two tettigoniids, Decticus verrucivorus L. and Tettigonia cantans Fuessly, showed that the major secondary energy peaks in the ultrasonic range are only about 15–20 dB below the main audible frequency peaks. The song of the acridid, Locusta migratoria L., contains no appreciable secondary peaks at ultrasonic frequencies, Bifunctional acoustic-vibratory interneurones are present in the ventral nerve cord of all three species. They are divided into three categories, according to their response characteristics: VS (vibration and sound), S (sound) and V (vibration) neurones. All the unit-types capable of coding sound signals in the ventral cord (VS and S neurones) are sensitive to frequencies of up to 100 kHz, with one exception (S3). In tettigoniids, three of these unit-types are more sensitive at ultrasonic frequencies than they are at the audible frequencies of their conspecific songs. Among the vibratory neurones (V), one unit-type receives inhibitory inputs from ultrasonic acoustic primary receptors. The possible importance of ultrasonic perception in the natural environment is briefly discussed.     

Auditory nerve and interneurone responses to natural sounds in several species of cicadas

ABSTRACT. The calling and courtship songs of 17-year cicadas and of Say's cicadas differ both in the sound frequency spectrum and in temporal pattern. Multiunit recordings with hook electrodes from the whole auditory nerve show that the hearing organs are especially sensitive to transient stimuli occurring in natural sounds. Artificially produced clicks elicit bursts of spikes synchronized among various primary sensory fibres. These fibres respond to natural calling and courtship songs with a specificity dependent on carrier frequency, rhythm and transient content of the sound, following sound pulses (i.e. tymbal actions) up to repetition rates of 200 Hz. An ascending, plurisegmental interneurone was characterized by intracellular recording and simultaneously stained with cobalt. Its main arborization spatially overlaps the anterior part of the sensory auditory neuropile, and the axon was traced as far as the prothoracic ganglion. Direct input from primary auditory fibres was suggested by latency measurements. Intracellular recordings from such neurons in different species show distinct auditory input, with phasic-tonic spike responses to tones. In general, the interneurone response is more species-specific to calling than to courtship songs, and the preferential response to the conspecific calling song is based primarily upon sound frequency content.     

The effects of calling song spacing and intensity on the attraction of flying crickets (orthoptera: Goryllidae: Nemobiinae)

Previous studies have shown that sexually signaling males across different taxa show stereotyped spacing behavior that may be related to aspects of their signals, such as intensity. However, few studies have shown that the separation between signaling males affects their relative attractiveness. Using two sound traps broadcasting the calling song of the cricketEunemobius carolinus, we show that the separation, relative intensity, and absolute intensity of the calling songs influence calling song attractiveness. For calling songs separated by 5 m, the proportion of individuals attracted to the higher intensity song increased as the relative intensity difference of the two songs increased from 3 to 6 dB. For calling songs that differed by 6 dB, relative attraction to the less intense song decreased with decreasing song separation. These two results are consistent with the predictions of a model (Forrest and Raspet, 1994) that suggests that dense spacing is more costly for less powerful singers and that this cost increases with increasing differences in relative intensity. When the relative intensity of the songs was held constant (6 dB), we found that discrimination between songs decreases as the song absolute intensity increases. In particular, a greater proportion of individuals was attracted to the high-intensity song when the songs were broadcast at 103 and 97 dB than when the songs were broadcast at 109 and 103 dB. Unlike mammals and birds, the ability ofE. carolinus to discriminate between songs that differ in intensity may decrease as the absolute intensity increases. This may mean that females are less discriminating when they are closer to singing males.

基于鸣声模型的云南柳莺地理种群关系分析

将录自北京、甘肃、四川和陕西7个地区共117段云南柳莺(Phylloscopus yunnanensis)的鸣唱样本分别提取短时特征Mel倒谱系数(MFCC),利用系统聚类方法,构建云南柳莺不同地理种群鸣声特征之间的树状关系图,并对云南柳莺地理鸣声差异产生机制的可能因素(地理距离、海拔等)进行探讨。这是基于鸣声短时特征的物种识别在研究同一物种不同地理种群关系中的首次尝试。结果显示,其鸣声地理差异与距离之间没有显著相关性(Pearson,r=﹣0.036,P=0.762,n=117),但与海拔存在显著的相关性(Pearson,r=﹣0.836,P0.001,n=117)。     

云南柳莺鸣声特点及地理差异的初步分析

1997、2002和2005年5～7月,在陕西省、四川省和甘肃省内共7个地区采集云南柳莺(Phylloscopus yunnanensis)的鸣声样本,并分析采自不同地区的共40只个体的鸣声.发现云南柳莺的鸣唱(song)和鸣叫(calls)在同一地区存在一定的差异.比较99段云南柳莺的鸣唱声,发现持续时间与间隔时间之间存在显著的负相关Pearson,r=-0.276,P=0.006,t=99).单因素方差分析表明,不同地区云南柳莺鸣唱的最高频率、最低频率和持续时间没有显著差异,而音节的间隔时间及音素数量均存在显著差异(P=0.006;P=0.000).结果表明,不同海拔、地区之间个体鸣唱音节间隔时间与海拔成正相关(Pearson,r=0.425,P=0.03,n=26).     

Territorial songs indicate male quality in the sac-winged bat Saccopteryx bilineata (Chiroptera, Emballonuridae)

Defense of territories in many animal species involves the advertisementof territory holder quality by acoustic signaling. In the sac-wingedbat Saccopteryx bilineata, males engage in territorial countersingingwhen reoccupying their day-roost territories in the morningand in the evening before abandoning the roost for the night.Females roost mainly in male territories, and territory holdersare reproductively more successful than nonterritorial males.In territorial songs of male S. bilineata, we distinguished6 syllable types and parameterized their acoustic properties.The analysis of 11 microsatellite loci allowed assignments ofjuveniles to their parents. Males had a higher reproductivesuccess both when they uttered more territorial songs per dayand when their long buzz syllables had a lower end frequencyof the fundamental harmonic. Long buzzes had a harsh qualitydue to a pulsation of the fundamental frequency at the syllableonset and also had the highest sound pressure level of all syllabletypes in most territorial songs. Territorial songs and especiallylong buzz syllables are thus likely to advertise territory holderquality and competitive ability.
