Rank and age related feeding strategy observed through field experiments in the Koshima group of Japanese macaques

The feeding process of Japanese monkeys on soy beans which were scattered over a sandy beach on Koshima islet was studied. Younger monkeys were able to pick up more beans when 8 kg of beans were divided and given two times (“two times feeding”) than when the whole amount (8 kg) of beans was given at one time (“one time feeding”). The effect of saturation of the food intake capacity in younger monkeys at the first feeding in “two times feeding” did not appear at the second feeding one hour later. The minutely intake of soy beans (feeding speed) for each age class was analyzed. The decline of feeding speed in adult females after the peak in “one time feeding” was not related to the decline in density of beans on the ground, and this decline was caused by saturation of their food intake capacity. Adult females were divided into four classes according to their dominance rank order: high, lower-high, higher-low, and low classes. The total amount of intake in “one time feeding” was far larger in the high class than in any of the other classes. The total amount of feeding in the first feeding of “two times feeding” increased in accordance with rise in the dominance rank class, and there was no relation to rank and total feeding amount in the second feeding of “two times feeding.” Differences existed in the process of feeding between the rank classes. The feeding speed of the low class was as high as that of the high class on the curve of minutely intake, while the low class stopped feeding much earlier than the high class. The lower-high class displayed a low feeding speed, and stopped feeding the latest. The order of the duration to stay and to feed in the feeding area was lower-high > high > higher-low > low, and this order did not change under the three different feeding conditions, “one time feeding,” and the first and second feedings of “two times feeding.” Adolescent females tended to stay the longest duration in the feeding area among all age classes. Both the lower-high class females and adolescent females had an unstable social status in the Koshima group, and their social status affected their feeding behaviors. The feeding behaviors were similar in attitude depending on social status, and are considered to be maintained for a fairly long time. The feeding strategy of the lower-high class, in staying a longer duration in the artificial feeding area, and departing later, may be effective under the artificial feeding conditions, but it may be a bad strategy in a natural habitat where the food is not so clumped as in artificial feeding, and where choice of other food patches is possible. The above results agree well with previous reports for the Koshima group, indicating that the rank of the lower-high class females was unstable (Mori et al., 1989), and that their reproductive success was low (Watanabe et al., 1992).     

Reproductive lability in pre-dispersal biology ofRhamnus alaternus L. (Rhamnaceae)

Summary Rhamnus alaternus L. is a dioecious, fleshy-fruited shrub, typical of Mediterranean vegetation, which has been recorded from the region since the tropical Tertiary. Reproductive biology of this species has been studied in Southern Italy over a period of 4 years with both field and laboratory experiments. In all the studied populations male plants predominate over the females, have a higher flower density and flower regularly every year while females are usually alternate-bearing. A strong negative association between fruit formation and vegetative growth has been found indicating that the presence of fruits on a branch reduces the growth of new shoots. This phenomenon, together with alternate-bearing, is evidence of a strong competition between vegetative growth and reproductive activity and indicates resource limitation. Flower morphology and quantity of pollen produced are typical of insect pollinated species, and flies of the Empididae and Muscidae were trapped bearing pollen at female plants but pollen is also dispersed by wind. Field experiments on pollination success showed that the exclusion of insects as pollen vectors produces a significant decrease in fruit development. Excess pollen provided by hand-pollination increases fruit set over open-pollination and reproductive success in the field is therefore pollen limited. The variability of sex expression, male fitness, fruit production, regrowth and pollination presented here suggests that these predispersal characteristics ofR. alaternus have been subject to evolutionary change since the tropical Tertiary climate was replaced by a Mediterranean one. This points to the possibility that reproductive, as well as morphological and physiological characteristics, may be equally selected for in extreme environments such as the Mediterranean.     

Energy allocation for reproduction in a marsupial arboreal folivore,the common ringtail possum (Pseudocheirus peregrinus)

This study examines the annual energetics of a small folivorous marsupial, Pseudocheirus peregrinus. Particular attention was given to the energy and time allocated to reproduction by the females. Daily energy expenditure was measured directly using the doubly labelled water technique. Energy transferred to the young via the milk was estimated from information on milk composition and production. There was no significant seasonal variation in the energy expenditure or water influx of males or females. The mean daily energy expenditure of a 1-kg non-lactating adult ringtail possum was 615 kJ day^–1 or 2.2 times standard metabolic rate. Females showed significant changes in daily energy expenditure according to their reproductive status. Without the burden of lactation the total annual energy expenditure of an adult female was estimated as 212.4 MJ kg^–1 year^–1. The total annual energy expenditure of a female rearing two young was 247.5 MJ kg^–1 year^–1, with the late stage of lactation constituting the most energetically expensive period accounting for 30% of the total yearly energy expenditure during 24% of the time. Total metabolisable energy allocation during reproduction (22 MJ kg) was similar to estimates available for other herbivores, although, the peak metabolisable energy allocation during lactation (759 kJ day^–1) was lower than values available for other herbivores. The total energy requirement for reproduction (metabolisable energy plus potential energy exported to young via milk) suggests that the ringtail possum also has a relatively low overall energy investment in reproduction. It is suggested that the lactational strategy of the ringtail possum has been selected in order to spread the energy demands of reproduction over time due to constraints on the rate of energy intake imposed by a leaf diet and/or to prolong the mother-young bond. The strategies a female ringtail possum may employ to achieve energy balance when faced with the energy demands of reproduction are discussed.     

Population structure and mycelial phenotypic variability of the ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor (Maire) Orton

Mating type allele distribution and phenotypic variability were investigated in field populations of Laccaria bicolor. Sporophores associated with Norway spruce (Picea abies), colonized by natural sources of inoculum and growing in a seed orchard, were sampled to obtain dikaryotic strains and assay their phenotypic variability for traits important to the symbiosis. Basid-iospores were also collected for mating type analysis of different mycelia. Four sporophore mating types were identified containing seven A and five B factors. Out-breeding efficiency was estimated at 73.8% and the population was slightly inbred. Crosses with previously characterized L. bicolor strains from two nearby populations identified in total six sporophore mating types and ten A and nine B factors, for an estimated outbreeding efficiency (85.7%) similar to previous studies of more spatially disparate Laccaria spp. populations. Dikaryotic strains were tested for mycelial growth rate, as a measure of their competitive ability, on agar media containing a soluble (NaH₂PO₄), or an insoluble (CaHPO₄) phosphate source. Their ability to solubilize the latter was also tested to assess their relative capacity to access insoluble, inorganic phosphate. In most cases, significant variation was detected among strains from the same site for all variables. On three sites (VC4, VC5 and VC7), each determined previously to possess a uniform mycelial genotype, phenotypic variability was likely due to epigenetic variation among different strains of the same genotype. Possible evidence for dikaryon-monokaryon crosses was observed in vivo on one sample site (VC2) where adjacent mycelia shared two mating factors. The phenotypic variability of different mycelial genotypes reflected their genetic variability observed as mating type allele diversity and underlined the importance of basidiospore dispersal in introducing new genotypes into the population. The reproductive strategies of L. bicolor are discussed and compared to those of other basidiomycete species.
