Translocation and distribution of abscisic-(1-14C) acid and of (5-3H)indol-3yl-acetic acid in agar cylinders and in boiled and fresh petiole segments of Coleus scutellarioides Bentham have been studied by liquid scintillation counting. The hormones were simultaneously applied in donor blocks of agar. Transport and distribution data of the two compounds were compared with those of (36Cl-)chloride in the same systems. From the data on movement in agar cylinders, diffusion coefficients of the transported compounds were approximated using a simulation model in which it was assumed that the movement was controlled by diffusion only. Movement in boiled tissue segments fitted the model if a correction factor was included in the equation for diffusion. Acropetal movement of indol-3yl-acetic acid in fresh petiole segments can be entirely explained in terms of passive transport and for basipetal transport it seems to be a major component. Movement of abscisic acid and of chloride in fresh petiole segments fit also a model based on diffusion. The limitations of the simulation model are discussed. 相似文献

Diurnal and seasonal variation in foraging behaviour of Yellowhammers Emberiza citrinella and activity of their avian predators were studied in an unmanipulated winter field situation around Uppsala, Sweden. In December, when time available for foraging was lowest, Yellowhammers seemed to be time-stressed. In order to meet their energetic needs, they reduced the time allocated to vigilance and increased the time allocated to foraging. Yellowhammers did not systematically change the time spent foraging during the day in December, which indicates time-stress, while they decreased the time spent foraging during the day in both November and February. Predator activity was highest in the afternoon, when Yellowhammers spent the least time foraging. Yellowhammers may have adopted a routine with decreasing foraging rates over the day in November and February, when time available for foraging was longer, in order to avoid foraging during periods of high predator activity. The diurnal activity pattern of predators together with daylength and energetic needs are factors that might be important in shaping daily foraging routines in small birds. 相似文献

1. Mutualistic and antagonistic interactions, although often studied independently, may affect each other, and food web dynamics are likely to be determined by the two processes working in concert. 2. The structure, and hence dynamics, of food webs depends on the relative abundances of generalist and specialist feeding guilds. Secondary parasitoids of aphids can be divided into two feeding guilds: (i) the more specialised endoparasitoids, which attack the primary parasitoid larvae in the still living aphid, and (ii) the generalist ectoparasitoids, which attack the pre‐pupa of the primary or secondary parasitoid in the mummified aphid. 3. We studied the effect of an ant–aphid mutualism on the relative abundance of these two functional groups of secondary parasitoids. We hypothesised that generalists will be negatively affected by the presence of ants, thus leading to a greater dominance of specialists. 4. We manipulated the access of ants (Lasius niger) to aphid colonies in which we placed parasitised aphids. Aphid mummies were collected and reared to determine the levels of endo‐ and ecto‐secondary parasitism. 5. When aphids were attended by L. niger the proportion of secondary parasitism by ectoparasitoids dropped from 26 to 8% of the total number of parasitised aphids, with Pachyneuron aphidis most strongly affected, while endoparasitoids as a group did not respond. However, among these Syrphophagus mamitus profited from ant attendance becoming the dominant secondary parasitoid, while parasitisation rates of Alloxysta and Phaenoglyphis declined. 6. The shift to S. mamitus as dominant secondary parasitoid in ant‐attended aphid colonies is likely due to the behavioural plasticity of this species in response to ant aggression, and a release from tertiary parasitism by generalist ectoparasitoids. 7. The reduction of secondary parasitism by generalist ectoparasitoids reduces the potential for apparent competition among primary parasitoids with consequences for the dynamics of the wider food web. 相似文献

In pot experiments in a glasshouse, top-roll symptoms were induced on potato plants after infestation with the aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae. Leaves showing symptoms accumulated carbohydrates and tuber yields of affected plants were decreased by 44% compared with controls. Leaves grown after killing the aphids had a normal appearance and sugar contents. Infestation with aphids primarily inhibited carbohydrate transport in the stem and the accumulation of 14C-labelled assimilate in the vascular bundles of the leaves. It is suggested that photosynthesis is inhibited by impaired phloem transport and subsequent accumulation of carbohydrates in the leaves and not by direct mechanical damage caused by the feeding aphid. 相似文献
