Chemicals present in urine are thought to play an important role in mate identification in the solitary giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). During the breeding season, females will deposit chemical signals to advertise sexual receptivity to potential mates. The goal of this study was to determine if specific volatile compounds found in female urine could be considered as pheromones that elicit behavioral and physiological responses in males. Experimental simultaneous choice trials were conducted with captive male giant pandas (n = 3) housed at Memphis Zoo, San Diego Zoo, and Zoo Atlanta. Octanoic acid, 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde, decanoic acid, and civetone were selected as stimuli because previous studies reported their elevation in urine during the breeding season. Male interest was determined by a behavioral preference toward these volatile compounds diluted in synthetic urine compared with nontreated synthetic urine. Male urine samples were collected 1 week prior, during, and 1 week after the experimental period to assess changes in urinary semiochemical composition and urinary androgen concentrations. No significant differences in investigation response (p = .395) or flehmen response (p = .600) were found when stimuli were compared; however, decanoic acid and civetone elicited a behavioral preference over the control (response ratio > 0.5). The relative abundance of 16 compounds identified in male urine was significantly elevated (p < .05) above baseline values after the males were exposed to the stimuli. Androgen levels were significantly elevated (p < .05) in one male after exposure to 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde, decanoic acid, and civetone. These data suggested that civetone and decanoic acid in female urine may motivate sexual responses in males.  相似文献

圈养大熊猫的繁殖特性和生命表   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
通过对最大的大熊猫(Ailuropodamelanoleuca)圈养种群——中国保护大熊猫研究中心的圈养种群的研究,总结了圈养大熊猫的繁殖生物学特性,编制了大熊猫的生命表。大熊猫是季节性繁殖的动物,每年春季3~4月发情交配,8月(30.49%)和9月(48.88%)产仔,每胎平均产仔1.5只,圈养繁殖大熊猫的雌雄比为1.11。大熊猫的妊娠期和幼兽的初生体重变化很大,分别平均为139.8天和142.6g。性成熟的年龄,雌性是5.7±1.1岁,雄性是5.8±0.58岁。根据圈养大熊猫的生命表计算出圈养种群的净增长率R0为0.209,世代周期T为9.187年,内禀增长率r为-0.170,周期增长率λ为0.844。  相似文献

Rams representing five breeds were electroejaculated twice weekly, during a three-week collection period. Ejaculates were evaluated for volume and concentration before freezing and for rate of motility and percentages of motile and abnormal cells both before and after freezing. Interactions between breed and collection period were evident (P<0.05) for semen volume and post-thaw values for rate of motility and percentage motile cells. Breeds differed (P<0.05) in these traits during some periods. In contrast, pre-freezing observations of rate of motility, percentage motile and abnormal cells and post-thaw percentage abnormal cells did not differ (P>0.15) among breeds. Sperm concentration per ejaculate tended to vary (P=0.11) among breeds. Semen characteristics frequently varied across collection periods. Rams within a breed differed (P<0.01) in all semen traits except post-thaw rate of motility and percentage motile cells. Semen was negatively affected by the freezing and thawing procedure. Ram within a breed and ejaculate within ram should be considered when selecting electroejaculated semen for freezing and subsequent use in artificial insemination.  相似文献

When Chu‐Lin, a male giant panda (studbook #249), died at Madrid Zoo, his reproductive tract was removed 4 hr postmortem and the epididymal spermatozoa were collected. Extended sperm were kept at 5°C for 4 hr, loaded into straws, and frozen for 7 min in liquid nitrogen vapor before the straws were plunged into liquid nitrogen. Two straws were thawed and evaluated. Sperm motility was assessed in fresh, refrigerated, and thawed spermatozoa (75%, 60%, 35%, respectively). Sperm viability and acrosome status were estimated using a triple‐stain technique (TST). The results showed 33% live sperm with intact acrosomes after thawing. A hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test demonstrated the retention of membrane integrity in 72% of thawed sperm. To evaluate the in vitro fertilizing ability of thawed sperm, a sperm penetration assay (SPA) was performed. The values obtained for the percentage of penetration and the penetration index were 62% and 1.78 sperm/oocyte, respectively. The results obtained demonstrate that epididymal sperm recovered from a giant panda postmortem can be successfully cryopreserved. The sperm fertilizing ability demonstrated in vitro after thawing may provide a final opportunity for this male to contribute to the currently small germplasm reserves of this endangered species, and to reproduce in the future through assisted reproductive technology.

哺乳动物精子冷冻的抗氧化研究进展   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
人工授精是迄今为止应用最广泛并最有成效的辅助生殖技术,而高品质的精液是提高人工授精受胎率的关键。近年来在家畜精液冷冻保存技术中应用抗氧化剂的研究受到广泛关注,通过添加抗氧化剂降低了精子在冷冻保存过程中所遭受的氧化损伤,提高了冷冻精液质量和母畜的受胎率。可添加的抗氧化剂种类很多,通常有维生素类和酶类抗氧化剂等。针对目前抗氧化剂在大熊猫精液上应用研究甚少的现状,该文对哺乳动物精子的氧化损伤机制和常用的抗氧化剂进行综述,期望对大熊猫的相关研究提供理论依据和参考。  相似文献

  1. As a highly endangered species, the giant panda (panda) has attracted significant attention in the past decades. Considerable efforts have been put on panda conservation and reproduction, offering the promising outcome of maintaining the population size of pandas. To evaluate the effectiveness of conservation and management strategies, recognizing individual pandas is critical. However, it remains a challenging task because the existing methods, such as traditional tracking method, discrimination method based on footprint identification, and molecular biology method, are invasive, inaccurate, expensive, or challenging to perform. The advances of imaging technologies have led to the wide applications of digital images and videos in panda conservation and management, which makes it possible for individual panda recognition in a noninvasive manner by using image‐based panda face recognition method.
  2. In recent years, deep learning has achieved great success in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. For panda face recognition, a fully automatic deep learning algorithm which consists of a sequence of deep neural networks (DNNs) used for panda face detection, segmentation, alignment, and identity prediction is developed in this study. To develop and evaluate the algorithm, the largest panda image dataset containing 6,441 images from 218 different pandas, which is 39.78% of captive pandas in the world, is established.
  3. The algorithm achieved 96.27% accuracy in panda recognition and 100% accuracy in detection.
  4. This study shows that panda faces can be used for panda recognition. It enables the use of the cameras installed in their habitat for monitoring their population and behavior. This noninvasive approach is much more cost‐effective than the approaches used in the previous panda surveys.

基于MaxEnt模型的二郎山廊道大熊猫栖息地适宜性评价   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
基于地理分布点和环境变量数据,利用MaxEnt模型(Maximum Entropy Modeling)对二郎山廊道大熊猫Ailuropoda melanoleuca栖息地适宜度进行综合评价:坡度、坡向和干扰距离的综合贡献值分别为53.00%、21.90%和18.00%,累积贡献率达92.90%,是影响该区域大熊猫分布的主要生态因子。使用自然断点法将大熊猫栖息地分为不适宜、潜在、适宜和最适宜栖息地4种类型:不适宜栖息地面积为168.45 km,占研究区域面积的39.02%;潜在栖息地面积为212.71 km,占研究区域面积的49.28%;适宜栖息地和最适宜栖息地面积分别为49.79 km和0.68 km,两者仅占研究区域面积的11.70%。建议在该廊道开展大熊猫栖息地人工修复项目,以增加该地大熊猫的适宜栖息地面积;同时尽可能减少人类活动对大熊猫栖息地的干扰,以便廊道在促进各种群之间的基因交流中更好地发挥作用。  相似文献
