The mechanical properties of ventricular myocardium of the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa, acclimated to 25 °C, were evaluated in vitro at 15, 25 and 35 °C. The inotropism (Fc—% of initial values) of ventricle strips was examined in response to adrenaline (from 10−8 to 10−5 M) and extracellular calcium (from 2.5 to 14.5 mM) in all experimental temperatures. At 15 and 25 °C, Fc rose when extracellular Ca2+ or adrenaline were increased, while Fc remained unchanged at 35 °C. These results suggest that at lower temperatures Ca2+ availability is a limiting step to cardiac performance and can be ameliorated by adrenergic stimulation. In contrast, since inotropic agents failed to increase cardiac inotropism at 35 °C, lungfish myocytes seem to show a high temperature sensitivity, which increases Ca2+-buffering capacity and/or Ca2+ transportation from and to cytosol as well as myofilaments Ca2+ sensitivity.  相似文献

Fifth-instar larvae of Manduca sexta were reared from hatching on artificial diet at 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C. Total development time decreased with increasing temperature. Very few larvae (12%) survived at 15°C, so this temperature was not considered further. There was some mortality at 30°C (11%), and at 35°C (50%).The absolute rate of growth in the fifth instar was faster at 25 than at 20°C, but was similar at 25, 30 and 35°C. This was true both for caterpillars that were chronically exposed to experimental temperatures (i.e. since hatching) and for those acutely exposed (i.e. reared up to fifth instar at 25°C).There was a progressive decrease with higher rearing temperatures in both the initial and final sizes of chronically exposed fifth-instar larvae. Acutely exposed caterpillars matched for initial size showed smaller temperature related differences in final size. Because of these size differences there were differences in relative growth rate which did not reflect true differences in absolute growth rate.Total food consumed by chronically exposed caterpillars was greatest at the lowest temperature (20°C), and decreased progressively with increasing temperature. The absolute rate of food consumption increased from 20 to 25°C, but did not vary significantly between 25 and 35°C. Differences in the sizes of the insects at the different temperatures meant that there were differences among relative measures of consumption that did not reflect absolute food consumption.For chronically exposed caterpillars, none of the three usual indices of food conversion efficiency (AD, ECI and ECD) varied significantly with temperature between 20 and 35°C. This implies that the effects of temperature on metabolic costs are closely matched to food consumption.Oxygen consumption increased with temperature between 20 and 25°C but was temperature compensated between 25 and 35°C.These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the optimal temperature for growth in Manduca.  相似文献

This study examined temperature acclimation, growth, and photosynthetic characteristics of the zygote-derived seedlings of Hizikia fusiformis (Harvey) Okamura (Sargassaceae). The seedlings were cultured at 15°C or 25°C for 4 weeks. The average relative growth rate was significantly higher in seedlings acclimated at 25°C. The photosynthetic rate measured at 15°C was much higher in seedlings grown at 15°C than those grown at 25°C, indicating photosynthetic acclimation to a lower temperature. At 35°C, the photosynthetic rate of 15°C-grown seedlings was drastically decreased, whereas that of 25°C-grown seedlings was significantly increased. The maximum relative electron transport rate (rETRmax) measured at the respective growth temperature was significantly higher in seedlings grown at 25°C than at 15°C. At a measuring temperature of 35°C, the rETRmax in both 15°C- and 25°C-grown seedlings were considerably reduced with regard to those measured at 15°C or 25°C. Our results suggested that, compared with the seedlings grown at 25°C, those acclimated at a lower temperature could be disadvantaged under adverse conditions such as increased temperatures.  相似文献

Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is one of the most important pests of asparagus in China. In this study the effects of five constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 °C) on the growth, survivorship and reproduction of Proprioseiopsis asetus (Chant) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) fed on T. tabaci was examined under laboratory conditions. Development time of immatures decreased with increasing temperature. The lower egg-to-adult developmental threshold (T 0) and thermal constant (K) of P. asetus were estimated at 15.2 °C and 75.8 degree days by means of a linear model. Fertilized females fed on T. tabaci produced offspring of both sexes, whereas the offspring sex ratio [♀/(♀ + ♂)] of P. asetus at 20–35 °C was female-biased (0.68–0.78) and not significantly influenced by temperature. Survivorship during immature development was significantly influenced by temperature, and was especially low at 15 °C. Pre- and post-oviposition periods of fertilized females shortened with the increase in temperature. The longest oviposition period was 20.4 days, at 25 °C, whereas at 15 °C the mites did not reproduce. Maximum average life time fecundity and mean daily fecundity was recorded at 25 and 35 °C, respectively; the intrinsic rate of increase ranged from 0.05 (20 °C) to 0.17 (35 °C). The results indicate the capability of P. asetus to develop and reproduce at a broad range of temperatures, especially above 25 °C, which can be used for better management of T. tabaci in asparagus.  相似文献

Experiments were carried out to investigate the heart rate of Synbranchus marmoratus after changing the temperature of the water contained in the experimental chamber of the acclimated fish (from 25 to 35°C and from 25 to 15°C). Then, an isometric cardiac muscle preparation was used to test the relative importance of Ca2+ released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ influx across the sarcolemma for the cardiac performance under different thermal conditions: 25°C (acclimation temperature), 15 and 35°C. Adrenaline and ryanodine were used to modulate the Ca2+ flux through the sarcolemma and the sarcoplasmic reticulum, respectively. Ryanodine reduced the peak tension by approximately 47% at 25°C, and by 53% at 35°C; however, it had no effect at 15°C. A high adrenaline concentration was able to ameliorate the negative effects of ryanodine. Despite increasing the peak tension, adrenaline increased the times necessary for contraction and relaxation. We conclude that the sarcoplasmic reticulum is active in contributing Ca2+ to the development of tension at physiological contraction frequencies. The adrenaline-stimulated Ca2+ influx is able to increase the peak tension, even after addition of ryanodine, at physiologically relevant temperatures and pacing frequencies.  相似文献

Photosynthetic and respiratory responses (P–E curves) of Gracilaria parvispora from the southeast Gulf of California were studied at four temperatures (20, 25, 30, 35 °C) and salinity (25, 30, 35, 40 psu) combinations. The alga showed acclimation in its photosynthetic and respiratory responses to tropical temperature as well as to oceanic salinity. A positive effect of temperature on photosynthetic rate (P max) was observed for all salinities. Photosynthetic rates for treatments at 20 and 25 °C were lower (<9.2 mg O2?g dry weight (dw)?1?h?1) than for treatments at 30 and 35 °C (>12 mg O2 g dw?1?h?1). G. parvispora showed limited tolerance to low salinities (25 psu) and low temperatures (20 °C) and the interaction between temperature and salinity was significant (analysis of variance, P?<?0.05). Responses to salinity indicated adaptation to oceanic salinity. Photosynthetic responses were lower at 25 psu than at higher salinities. The lowest P max values (6.2–8.2 mg O2?g dw?1?h?1) were observed at the lowest salinity (25 psu) regardless of temperature. Compensation and saturation irradiances (26–170 and 57–149 μmol photons m?2?s?1, respectively) indicate adaptation to lower irradiances in shallow (1–2 m depth) habitats, where turbidity can be high, and the capacity of shade adaptation has been developed. Results suggest distribution of this species is mainly related to salinity or temperature. The potential mariculture efforts of G. parvispora would be limited by low temperatures in winter, and indicate that this species will probably not be able to spread further due to low temperatures (<15 °C) in the upper part of the Gulf of California.  相似文献

Clibanarius vitatus (Bosc) larvae were reared in twenty combinations of four salinities (15, 20, 25, and 30%) and five temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30 and 35%°C). No development was observed in any salinity at 15°C, but partial development occurred in all other test conditions. Metamorphosis to juvenile crabs was noted only at salinities of 25 and 30A% in combination with temperatures of 25 and 30°C. In general, development times were decreased at higher temperatures; no trend was evidence for salinity. Mortality of zoeae was usually highest at the time of the first molt and greatest overall mortality occurred during the megalopa stage prior to metamorphosis. Previous experiments (unpubl.) have shown that C. vittatus adults can tolerate temperature down to 5°C. It is suggested that geographic distribution of C. vittatus (Virginia, southward) is limited not by adult tolerances but by the inability iof the species to establish a breeding population. Larvae require two months at 25°C or above to metamorphose, and this condition is not met in areas north of Virginia.  相似文献

Macropetasma africanus (Balss) has been successfully spawned and its larvae reared under controlled laboratory conditions. The relationship between egg number (E) and female total length (L) was E = 18.59 L2.11. An experiment was designed to test the effect of temperature on larval development, survival and growth. Temperature effected larval development time, from 13–15 days at 25°C, to 25 days at 15°C (nauplius 1 to post-larva). Mortality was low for the naupliar stages at 25, 22 and 18°C, while at 15°C only 52% of the larvae reached nauplius 6. Mortality was highest from nauplius 6 to protozoea 1 (17, 21, and 18% at 25, 22, and 18°C, respectively), but decreased considerably for all temperatures once the mysis stage was reached. Overall survival rates from nauplius 1 to post-larva decreased with decreasing temperature (65, 54, 48, and 39% at 25, 22, 18, and 15°C respectively). Temperature also significantly affected larval growth. At 25°C mean total length was significantly (P < 0.05) larger than at 15°C (protozoea 2 to post-larva), while from protozoea 3 to post-larva total length differences were significantly different (P < 0.05) between 18 and 25°C. M. africanus has a major spawning peak in summer, suggesting that there may be a selective advantage to reproducing during the warmer months.  相似文献

Effect of temperature (10°–45°C) on development, fecundity, survival, population parameters, and rate of predation on snail by the flySarcophaga (Parasarcophaga) misera has been studied under controlled laboratory conditions. Temperatures ranging from 25°–30°C effected higher rate of development, fecundity, and predation on the snailIndoplanorbis exustus, than at 15°, 20°, 35° & 40°C. Longevity was maximum at 20°C. Implications of the role of temperature in influencing the biology and predation by this fly are discussed.  相似文献

Branch cultures ofEucheuma alvarezii Doty var.tambalang Doty, farmed in the Philippines, andE. isiforme (C. Agardh) J. Agardh var.denudatum Cheney, from the west coast of Florida, were gradually transferred through three temperature regimes over a 6-week period. Photosynthetic responses were measured under a series of irradiances (P-I curves) and temperatures to determine immediate responses of the plants before, during and after completion of the transfers. The Philippine variety did not show acclimation to 18 °C either after gradual transfer from the initial culture temperature of 25 °C or when abruptly transferred from 25 to 18 °C. The Florida variety did show acclimation to 25 °C when gradually transferred from 18 to 22 to 25 °C over the 6-week period, but not if abruptly transferred from 18 to 25 °C. The west coast variety ofE. isiforme from Florida shows a temperature acclimation ability that parallels the seasonal changes in water temperature of its habitat.  相似文献

The survival and oxygen uptake of the supralittoral amphipod Chroestia lota Marsden & Fenwick were investigated in humid air and sea water between 15 and 35°C. Seven-day exposure experiments were made on three size groups of amphipods at 6 constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 °C) and three cyclic temperatures (15–25, 20–30, 25–35°C) in air and in sea water at 34 and 17%. salinity. Neither size, treatment nor temperature affected survival between 15 and 30°C. Mortality increased > 30°C with large individuals being consistently less tolerant than medium and small amphipods. While amphipods exposed to cyclic temperatures during submersion had reduced survival compared with constant temperatures, those individuals exposed to cyclic conditions in humid air showed the greatest resistance. Oxygen uptake of Chroestia increased with dry body wt and, over the range 15–35°C, this semi-terrestrial beach flea could maintain its aerial VO2 following submersion. Oxygen uptake increased directly in proportion to gill area and the weight specific gill area was low, consistent with the need to reduce desiccation. It is suggested that total gill area does not limit oxygen uptake in Chroestia and that cutaneous respiration may be important especially in aquatic conditions.  相似文献

Pomacea canaliculata is a South American freshwater snail considered as one of the world’s worst invasive alien species. A temperature of around 25 °C has usually been considered to be optimal for rearing P. canaliculata. Nevertheless, snails have not been reared under a wide range of temperatures to reveal the optimum for performance in terms of population increase. We investigated the effect of temperature on growth, survival and reproduction, estimating demographic parameters for P. canaliculata in the wide range of temperatures at which these snails are active (15–35 °C). No reproductive activity was evidenced for the snails reared at 15 °C, probably explained by the small sizes attained at this temperature. Temperatures above 25 °C did not promote a significant acceleration in growth so higher temperatures will not result in a reduction in time to reach maturity. In fact, snails from 25 and 30 °C began reproduction at the same age. We report here for the first time a detrimental effect of high temperatures that provoked a significant decrease in the contribution of snails to the next generation: the viability of eggs from the snails reared at 30 °C was very low and the snails exposed to a constant water temperature of 35 °C were unable to produce eggs. Our findings reveal a new environmental constraint that could be a determinant of the range limits of this species in invaded regions, especially during the coming decades, anticipating the scenario predicted from global warming.  相似文献

Eighth instar female house crickets at 35°C developed faster, gained slightly more wet weight, and consumed less food, water, and oxygen than at 25°C. The duration of the 8th stadium at 25°C was 13 days (undisturbed), but was 14 days when disturbed by daily weighing. The duration of the 8th stadium at 30°C was 8 days and at 35°C was 6 days. During the first half of the 8th stadium at 25, 30, and 35°C, there was a high rate of food and water consumption resulting in statistically equal maximum dry weight achievement (124 mg). Respiratory quotients greater than one during this time indicated the conversion of ingested carbohydrate to fat. During the latter half of the 8th stadium, food and water consumption declined and the crickets lost weight. The period of weight loss was proportionally much longer at 25°C than at 30 or 35°C. Respiratory quotients lower than 1.0 during the latter half of the 8th stadium at 30 and 35°C indicated the metabolism of stored lipids. The respiratory quotient at 25°C never fell below 1.0, possibly because some food remained in the gut. The absorption efficiency was not influenced by temperature (25–35°C). Though the caloric content of the faeces was lower at 25°C than at 30 or 35°C, which correlated to the much longer time for food passage at 25°C than at 35°C, the difference in total calories egested was insufficient to alter the absorption efficiency. A longer period of reduced feeding and greater dry weight loss during the latter half of the 8th stadium at 25°C resulted in a lower metabolic efficiency at 25°C than at 30 or 35°C. Eighth instar crickets in response to a step-function transfer from 30°C–25 or 35°C showed an immediate (<1 hr) and complete metabolic adjustment which was not affected by the temperature history during the 7th stadium. House crickets did not exhibit temperature acclimation in the range 20–40°C, the metabolic rate being determined by ambient temperature. The Q10 for oxygen consumption in the range 20–40°C was about 2.  相似文献

Life table and predation of the predatory mite Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans) on the red spider mite (RSM), Oligonychus coffeae (Nietner), a major pest of tea in India, were studied in the laboratory. Developmental time from egg to adult varied from 4 to 14 days at 30 to 15 °C, respectively; at 35 °C no larva survived. Survival of immature stages was more than 94 % at all temperatures. Threshold temperature for development of immature stages of females and males was 10 and 9.9 °C, respectively, and thermal constant was 84.03 degree-days for females and 80 for males. Sex ratio was female biased and temperature (20–30 °C) had no clear effect on sex determination. Egg hatchability was 73 % at 35 °C and >97 % at lower temperatures. Average number of eggs laid per female/day was higher at 30 °C than at 20 or 25 °C. The highest net reproductive rate (R 0) was 40.7, at 20 °C. Mean generation time (T) decreased from 28 to 13 days with temperature increasing from 20 to 30 °C. Weekly multiplication (6.5) and intrinsic rate of natural increase (r m ) (0.268) were highest at 30 °C. Males lived longer than females at every temperature tested. Longevity was highest at 20 °C (50 days for females and 55 for males). Survival and longevity were adversely affected by temperature above 30 °C. Daily consumption of prey increased with the advancement of predator’s life stages; adult females consumed the highest numbers of prey items, preferably larvae and nymphs.  相似文献

Increasing energy costs force glasshouse growers to switch to energy saving strategies. In the temperature integration approach, considerable daily temperature variations are allowed, which not only have an important influence on plant growth but also on the development rate of arthropods in the crop. Therefore, we examined the influence of two constant temperature regimes (15 °C/15 °C and 20 °C/20 °C) and one alternating temperature regime (20 °C/5 °C, with an average of 15 °C) on life table parameters of Phytoseiulus persimilis and Neoseiulus californicus and their target pest, the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae at a 16:8 (L:D) h photoperiod and 65 ± 5 % RH. For females of both predatory mites the alternating temperature regime resulted in a 25–30 % shorter developmental time as compared to the corresponding mean constant temperature regime of 15 °C/15 °C. The immature development of female spider mites was prolonged for 7 days at 15 °C/15 °C as compared to 20 °C/5 °C. With a daytime temperature of 20 °C, no differences in lifetime fecundity were observed between a nighttime temperature of 20 and 5 °C for P. persimilis and T. urticae. The two latter species did show a higher lifetime fecundity at 20 °C/5 °C than at 15 °C/15 °C, and their daily fecundity at the alternating regime was about 30 % higher than at the corresponding mean constant temperature. P. persimilis and T. urticae showed no differences in sex ratio between the three temperature regimes, whereas the proportion of N. californicus females at 15 °C/15 °C (54.2 %) was significantly lower than that at 20 °C/5 °C (69.4 %) and 20 °C/20 °C (67.2 %). Intrinsic rates of increase were higher at the alternating temperature than at the corresponding mean constant temperature for both pest and predators. Our results indicate that thermal responses of the studied phytoseiid predators to alternating temperature regimes used in energy saving strategies in glasshouse crops may have consequences for their efficacy in biological control programs.  相似文献

Oxygen consumption rates of stage I Macrobrachium holthuisi Genofre & Lobão zoeae were measured in 24 different temperature and salinity combinations using Cartesian diver microrespirometers. Metabolic rates varied little with salinity at 15°C while at 20°C a marked elevation occurred in 0 and 35‰ At 25°C, a slight elevation occurred in 0‰; rates remained constant, however, in the other salinities. At 30°C, respiratory rates were similar to those recorded at 25°C except for decreases at 0 and 28‰ salinity. Q10 values in the different salinities were usually highest between 15 and 20°C. Statistical analyses showed that while both temperature, salinity and their interaction significantly influenced larval respiratory rates, temperature had the more pronouced effect. Larval metabolism is salinity independent over the salinity range encountered in the larval biotope (7–21‰) at temperatures of 15–30°C.  相似文献

Summary A model was developed to describe interactive effects of exposure time and treatment on thermostability of excisedIllicium parviflorum Michx. root cell membranes using electrolyte leakage (Lc) procedures. Roots were moved from 25°C to treatment temperatures between 35°C and 60°C for 30 to 300 min. A sigmoidal response described Lc increases with increasing temperature at selected time exposures and the lethal exposure time decreased exponentially as temperature increased. The lethal temperature (52.0±1.1°C) for a 15 min exposure using this technique was comparable to the critical temperature (52.2±1.2°C) when roots were exposed to gradually increasing temperatures (4°C per h). Total protein content of roots began to decrease as temperatures increased from 35 to 40°C and the temperature corresponding to 50% reduction in total proteins was 49.1±2.2°C.  相似文献

The effect of relative humidity (RH) and temperature on CO2 assimilation (An), stomatal conductance (Sc), transpiration rate (Tr), chlorophyll content, fresh and dry weight, leaf length, leaf area, leaf width, formation of new root and survival rate have been assayed in Doritaenopsis in growth chamber after 1 month of acclimatization. Reduced growth was observed at below and above 25 °C whereas it was increased with increasing humidity. Relative water content (RWC) was decreased at 50% and 70% humidity after second day of transfer and recovered completely with the progression of acclimatization. RWC also reduced at high temperature but recovered slowly and a gradual decrease of RWC was observed at 15 °C. A visual symptom of severe leaf tip burn was observed at 50–70% humidity and at 35 °C during acclimatization. At 15 °C and 50% humidity sudden decrease of photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) was observed, which could not recover in temperature treated plantlets during acclimatization period. Chlorophyll content increased with increasing humidity and at 15 and 35 °C chlorophyll content was decreased compared to 25 °C. Chlorophyll a/b ratio was unchanged while total chlorophyll/carotenoids ratio was increased from low to high temperature. Exposure of plantlets to high temperature led to a noticeable decrease in An, Sc and Tr, and at 15 °C they were more decreased whereas significant differences were not observed in the parameters tested under humidity after 25 days of acclimatization. During daytime at 15 °C, increase in An, Sc and Tr indicates the plantlets adaptability in the new environment. The peroxidase activity remained unaffected in all humidity stress whereas low temperature increased the peroxidase activity compared to high temperature. These finding suggests that photosynthetic properties was greatly affected by air temperature conditions with a reduction of An, Sc and Tr at 15 and 35 °C compared to humidity stress that played a greater role in limiting photosynthesis.  相似文献

Intact maize seedlings were examined for the uptake and leakage of labelled sulphate and phosphate anions affected by temperature. Control plants, grown at 25 °C were compared from the aspects of uptake capacity and leakage with plants incubated in nutrient solutions cooled to 15 °C and 5 °C, respectively. Short time intervals as well as 1–7 d exposure to cooling were used. Already after 1 h exposure at 5 °C and 5 h cooling at 15 °C and at 5 °C, considerable changes were manifested in anion uptake and leakage. The uptake of32P declined more than that of35S. So, after a 30 min uptake interval the uptake of35S decreased at 15 °C to 49.84% and at 5 °C to 6.05% comparing with the uptake at 25 °C, while the uptake of32P declined to 28.64% at 15 °C and to 4.45% at 5 °C. The leakage of both anions was the highest at 25 °C in absolute rates, but relatively most of the uptaken35S and32P was released at 5 °C. Longer exposure to a chilling temperature of 5 °C (1–7 days) resulted in two patterns of sulphate and phosphate uptake.  相似文献

This study was conducted to address the effect of different constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 °C) on the functional response of the parasitoid wasps Diglyphus isaea Walker and Hemiptarsenus zilahisebessi Erdös to different densities of Liriomyza sativae Blanchard (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 larvae) under laboratory conditions. The results revealed the Type II functional response for both parasitoids at different temperatures. The highest searching efficiency for D. isaea and H. zilahisebessi occurred at 25 °C (0.926 ± 0.211 h−1) and 30 °C (1.012 ± 0.241 h−1), respectively. In addition, the shortest handling time for D. isaea and H. zilahisebessi were observed at 25 °C (0.063 ± 0.008 h) and 30 °C (0.058 ± 0.008 h), respectively. These results demonstrated that H. zilahisebessi is more efficient at higher temperatures than D. isaea. Both parasitoids had higher parasitism performance when temperature increased (4.67 parasitized hosts/day at 15 °C vs 15.87 parasitized hosts/day at 25 °C for D. isaea and 3.89 parasitized hosts/day at 15 °C vs 17.24 parasitized hosts/day at 30 °C for H. zilahisebessi). In addition, a quadratic regression was found between handling time and temperature as well as between number of the parasitized larvae and temperature in D. isaea and H. zilahisebessi at different densities of L. sativae. This study provided a preliminary information on the parasitic behavior of these parasitoids and that D. isaea and H. zilahisebessi can be used properly beside other non-chemical approaches to manage L. sativae damage at a temperature range of 25–30 °C, respectively.  相似文献
