Pernetttya rigida is endemic to the Juan Fernández archipelago. Although all flowers are complete, with seemingly fertile stamens and pistils, differences in fruit production and detailed field, anatomical, and morphological studies indicate they are functionally unisexual, and the species is consequently dioecious. A comparison of 15 features demonstrated sigdicant differences between the sexes. The populational sex ratio is 1:1. Nectaries located between the filaments produce small amounts of floral nectar with similar sugar composition in both sexes. There are =33,357 (or = 133,429) pollen tetrads (or pollen grains)/male flower and =109 ovules/female flower. No tetrads in either hand self-pollinated or open pollinated male flowers showed any pollen germination. Tetrads on open- and hand-pollinated female flowers germinate. Female flowers do not show autogamy or apomixis. During more than 80 hours of field observation, we recorded only seven floral visitors (representing three insect species). In spite of this, openpollinated female flowers have abundant fruit and seed-set. Thus, we conclude that pollen is transferred abiotically and the ever-present wind over the exposed ridges of the islands is the likely dispersal agent. A number of anemophilous features, such as dry pollen and exposed habitat, support this conclusion. Thus, dioecy and anemophily have evolved independently, in situ , in this species in this remote locality. Preservation of habitat and elimination of competitive invasives are the primary conservation challenges. 相似文献

The nudibranch Discodoris indecora shows a perfect camouflageon its prey, the dictyoceratid sponge Ircinia variabilis. Shapeand colour of the nudibranch are remarkably similar to thatof the sponge which is widespread in the shallow waters of theMediterranean Sea. The metabolite pattern of I. variabilis isdominated by unusual molecules, the sesterter-penoids palinurinand variabilin, containing 25 carbons and displaying at theends a ß-substituted furan ring and a tetronic acid.However, a chemical polymorphism has been recently describedfor I. variabilis. Some specimens contain either palinurin orvariabilin whereas others possess a mixture of both sestertepenoids.During the study of Mediterranean sponges, a linear sesterterpenoidrelated to palinurin and variabilin was found in Ircinia fasciculata,that from a taxonomic point of view is closely relatedto Irciniavariabilis. Discodoris indecora shows a typical defence behaviourwhen it is disturbed, secreting a copious white slime that containslarge amounts of palinurin and variabilin. Most likely the animalis able to transfer the sponge metabolites from the digestiveglands to mantle glands. Electron micrographs of the nudibranchmantle showed the presence of unicellular glands characterizedby a cylindrical vacuole with a big nucleus on the basis. Theglands were concentrated in the most conspicuous tubercles ofthe dorsal mantle. Probably, the sponge metabolites are storedin these glands. Comparative chemical analysis of mucous secretions, dorsal tubercles,mantle, foot, digestive glands and hepatopancreas of D. indecoraconfirmed this hypothesis. Palinurin and fasciculation were,of course, present in the digestive glands but they were alsofound in the mucus and in the mantle sections enriched by theabove described unicellular glands. The defensive role of palinurinand variabilin, strongly suggested by their anatomical location,was supported by recording the induction of feeding-deterrencein the fresh-water fish Carassius auratus and in the marinefish Chromis chromis and Sparus auratus.

An artificial membrane system was adapted to feed Ornithodoros turicata (Ixodida: Argasidae) larvae from a laboratory colony using defibrinated swine blood. Aspects related to larval feeding and moulting to the first nymphal instar were evaluated. A total of 55.6% of all larvae exposed to the artificial membrane in two experimental groups fed to repletion and 98.0% of all fed larvae moulted. Mortality rates of first instar nymphs differed significantly depending on the sorting tools used to handle engorged larvae (χ2 = 35.578, P < 0.0001): engorged larvae handled with featherweight forceps showed significantly higher mortality (odds ratio = 4.441) than those handled with a camel‐hair brush. Differences in the physical properties of the forceps and camel‐hair brush may affect the viability of fragile soft tick larvae even when care and the same technique are used to sort them during experimental manipulations. The current results represent those of the first study to quantify successful feeding to repletion, moulting and post‐moulting mortality rates in O. turicata larvae using an artificial membrane feeding system. Applications of the artificial membrane feeding system to fill gaps in current knowledge of soft tick biology and the study of soft tick–pathogen interactions are discussed. 相似文献
