草食性小型哺乳动物的食粪行为

食粪行为广泛存在于草食性中小型哺乳动物中,是特指动物取食由盲肠内容物所形成的粪便的行为。这些动物具有特殊的结肠分离机制,能够产生两种不同的粪便。食粪行为延长了食物在消化道中的平均滞留时间;提高了对高纤维食物的消化率;弥补了食物中氨基酸和维生素的缺乏,满足了动物对这些营养物质的需求;是动物消化过程中的一个特殊组成部分。食粪行为的节律性是动物对取食和食粪的风险权衡的结果。食粪行为的发展是与动物草食性的特点紧密相关的,是动物对身体较小、食物质量低和天敌威胁等不利因素适应的结果。本对这些方面的研究进展进行了综述。

动物贮食行为及其生态意义

动物贮存食物，以调节食物的时空分布，度过食物缺乏期。贮食行为是一种特化的采食行为。现已发现上百种鸟类和哺乳类动物贮存食物。植食动物贮藏植物繁殖体，促进了植物的扩散。于是，植物与贮食动物形成了一种协同进化关系。这种关系是自然界互惠关系（ｍｕｔｕａｌｉｓｍ）的一种类型。

布氏田鼠合作贮食行为及其影响因素

合作贮食是社会性动物应对食物匮乏的重要对策,但其内在的生态学机制尚未阐明。本文以布氏田鼠为研究对象,根据亲缘关系划分为亲缘组和非亲缘组。在人工实验箱中录像统计不同组别合作贮食行为占用时间的差异,探究亲缘关系对合作贮食行为的影响,并利用相关性分析探究亲缘组个体对贮食的贡献—收益关系以及与贮食行为相关的个体特征因素。结果表明,在组间水平上,与非亲缘组相比,亲缘组的布氏田鼠表现更多的合作贮食。在亲缘组个体水平上,不同个体对贮食的参与度和贡献度存在很大差异。个体对合作贮食的付出与其取食的收益呈显著负相关关系,并且个体合作贮食贡献越大,其睾丸指数和睾酮含量降低越显著。研究结果说明,亲缘关系的存在有利于布氏田鼠的合作贮食,但合作贮食贡献大的个体,其繁殖受到了抑制。

The colonic groove or furrow: A comparative morphological study of six species of African mole‐rats (Rodentia,Bathyergidae)

Herbivorous mammals such as nutrias, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and mole‐rats have a longitudinal mucosal colonic groove (furrow) in their ascending colon, which is thought to play a role in the colonic separation mechanism (CSM). It is not known whether this groove is structurally modified to adapt to this function in mole‐rat species. The morphology of this groove was studied in 32 mol‐rats, four species, one of which consisted of three subspecies, endemic to southern Africa and two species found in eastern Africa. The macroscopic morphology of the groove was documented, and samples for histological examination were taken. The groove was wide at its origin at the cecocolic junction and was lined on either side by a row of papillae with the opposing papillae slightly offset in arrangement. The papillated groove gradually decreased in size toward the distal part of the ascending colon where it disappeared. This pattern was similar in all species except in Heterocephalus glaber, where the papillae were absent and the groove was lined by two longitudinal ridges. A histological examination of cross sections revealed that the mucosa covering the inner and outer walls of the groove was rich in mucous‐secreting goblet cells. The walls of the groove contained smooth muscle extending from the inner circular smooth muscle layer at the base to the tips of the papillae in all species examined as well as arteries, lymphatic vessels, and prominent sinusoid‐like veins. The groove could be demonstrated both macroscopically and histologically in three Bathyergus suillus fetuses of varying sizes. The sinusoid‐like veins present in all grooves, regardless of macroscopic shape, suggest that they have a role in the functioning of the groove. J. Morphol. 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

一种微距测量组织光学参数的方法

测量生物组织的光学参数是近红外光学检测(NIR)的主要任务之一,然而常规的近红外光学检测由于受扩散近似的限制,测量的距离一般大于2cm-3cm。本文从提高近红外光学检测空间分辨率的角度,设计了一种可用于测量生物组织局部、浅表光学参数的方法。通过使用光纤探针,实现了在微小光源-探测器间距时(＜1mm)测量组织光学参数。模型实验的结果表明该方法可反映生物组织中吸收系数及散射系数的变化率。     

The colonic groove of the plains viscacha (Lagostomus maximus): Histochemical evidence of an abrupt change in the glycosylation pattern of goblet cells

The ascending colon of most rodent species shows a longitudinal colonic groove that works as a retrograde transport pathway for a mixture of bacteria and mucus toward the cecum. We describe the morphology and glycosylation pattern of the colonic groove of Lagostomus maximus to analyze the role of mucins in this anatomical feature. We also studied the distribution pattern of the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) to evaluate their regulatory influence on gut motility. The groove originated near the cecocolic junction and extended along the mesenteric side of the ascending colon, limited at both ends by nonpapillated ridges. These ridges divided the lumen of the ascending colon into two compartments: a narrow channel and a large channel, called the groove lumen and the main lumen, respectively. The histochemical analysis showed differences in the glycosylation pattern of the goblet cells inside and outside the groove. Unlike the mucosa lining the main lumen of the colon, the groove was rich in goblet cells that secrete sulfomucins. The PA/Bh/KOH/PAS technique evidenced an abrupt change in the histochemical profile of goblet cells, which presented a negative reaction in the groove and a strongly positive one in the rest of the colonic mucosa. The anti‐c‐kit immunohistochemical analysis showed different ICC subpopulations in the ascending colon of L. maximus . Of all types identified, the ICC‐SM were the only cells located solely within the colonic groove.

The relationship between forage cell wall content and voluntary food intake in mammalian herbivores

• 1 It is generally assumed that animals compensate for a declining diet quality with increasing food intake. Differences in the response to decreasing forage quality in herbivores have been postulated particularly between cattle (ruminants) and horses (hindgut fermenters). However, empirical tests for both assumptions in herbivorous mammals are rare.
• 2 We collected data on voluntary food intake in mammals on forage‐only diets and related this to dietary neutral detergent fibre (NDF) content, assuming a nonlinear correlation between these measurements. Generally, the paucity of corresponding data is striking.
• 3 Elephants and pandas showed very high food intakes that appeared unrelated to dietary fibre content. Only in small rodents, and possibly in rabbits, was an increase in food intake on forages of higher NDF content evident. In particular, other large herbivores, including horses, followed patterns of decreasing intake with increasing forage NDF, also observed in domestic cattle or sheep.
• 4 For large herbivores, empirical data therefore do not – so far – support the notion that intake is increased in response to declining diet quality. However, data are in accord with the assumption that most large herbivores have an anticipatory strategy of acquiring body reserves when high‐quality forage is available, and reducing food intake (and potentially metabolic losses) when only low‐quality forage is available.
• 5 Intake studies in which the influence of digestive strategy on food intake capacity is tested should be designed as long‐term studies that outlast an anticipatory strategy and force animals to ingest as much as possible.
• 6 We suggest that a colonic separation mechanism coupled with coprophagy, in order to minimize metabolic faecal losses, is necessary below a body size threshold where an anticipatory strategy (living off body reserves, migration) is not feasible. Future studies aimed at investigating fine‐scale differences, for example between equids and bovids, should focus on non‐domesticated species.

Argonaute蛋白与小RNA的作用机制

RNA干扰(RNA interference, RNAi)是在植物、动物、线虫、真菌以及昆虫等生物体中普遍存在的通过双链RNA(double strand RNA, dsRNA)诱导的抑制同源基因表达的一种保守的调控机制.小分子RNA通过特异性地识别结合RNA诱导的沉默复合体（RNA-induced silencing complex, RISC）对目标mRNA的表达在转录和翻译水平进行抑制.作为RISC的重要组成成分,Argonaute蛋白（Ago）发挥了至关重要的作用.为了进一步阐明Ago蛋白在RNA干扰中对小分子RNA的作用机制,本文介绍了Ago蛋白的结构、分类及其在RNA干扰机制中的作用,并着重阐述了目前已知的植物Ago蛋白对小分子RNA的几种作用机制,以及目前研究发现的Ago蛋白的功能作用,从而更进一步证实Ago蛋白对小分子RNA的作用是一个复杂的过程.
