灰胸薮鹛鸣声及繁殖行为的初步研究

2005年5～8月、2006年1～2月、2008年10月在四川省老君山自然保护区对灰胸薮鹛(Liodchla omeiensis)的鸣声及繁殖行为进行了初步研究.在繁殖期和非繁殖期都能记录到的灰胸薮鹛鸣声可分为召唤、应答、觅食、采食、休息、飞行联络、报警叫声14种,仅在繁殖期能记录到的有占区、驱逐、逃避、求偶叫声12种.通过声谱分析获得了各种叫声的语谱图及其频谱特征.本文还对灰胸薮鹛繁殖期占区、求偶、交配、营巢、产卵和孵卵前3 d的行为进行了描述.     

Sexual dimorphism and dichromatism in Steere's Liocichla (Liocichla steerii)

ABSTRACT.   Although sexual differences in birds can be extreme, differences between males and females in body size and plumage color are more subtle in many species. We used a genetic-based approach to determine the sex of male and female Steere's Liocichla ( Liocichla steerii ) and examine the degree of size dimorphism and plumage dichromatism in this apparently monomorphic species. We found that males were significantly larger than females. In addition, Steere's Liocichla have a prominent yellow plumage patch on the lores that was significantly larger in males than females for both live birds and museum specimens. We also used reflectance spectrometry to quantify the color of the yellow-green breast feathers of Steere's Liocichla and found no significant differences between males and females in brightness, intensity, saturation, or hue. However, females tended to have brighter breast plumage, particularly at long wavelengths. Collectively, these color variables were useful in discriminating birds according to sex when used in a discriminant function analysis. Our study suggests that sexual selection may be more widespread than once assumed, even among birds considered monomorphic, and emphasizes the need for additional data from tropical and subtropical species.     

灰胸薮鹛消化系统形态的初步研究

对灰胸薮鹛（Liocichla omeiensis）消化系统的形态学作了初步观察,结果表明,灰胸薮鹛舌前端有刺毛状结构,后端有一排尖端后指的栉状突,且中间小两边大;雄鸟在舌前端正中央还有一“v”形的凹缺,深约2．5mm;雌鸟食道颈段长为13．2mm,雄鸟为17．5mm;嗉囊雌鸟长7．5mm,雄鸟长8．4mm;食道胸段雌鸟长15．5mm,雄鸟长14．7mm;肌胃发达,具角质膜,腺胃乳突短而小;肠道长与体长基本相等,小肠较发达,雌鸟长153．7mm,占肠道总长92．6％,雄鸟为133mm和95％,具有双侧盲肠,占肠道总长的3．3％,大肠短,雌鸟仅占肠道7．5％,雄鸟仅占4．75％;肝为体内最大的消化腺,分左右两叶;胰位于十二指肠袢内,细长形,分三小叶。     

峨眉山灰胸薮鹛冬季栖息地特征

对于特有珍稀鸟类的保护而言,了解其对特定栖息地的要求至关重要。灰胸薮鹛(Liocichla omeiensis)是我国西南山地一种特有的画眉科(Timaliidae)珍稀鸟类。2010~2013年冬季,采用样线法和样方法,在四川峨眉山对灰胸薮鹛的冬季栖息地特征进行了调查。沿山间公路、山脊或林中小径布设观察样线。样线共计26条,总长70 km。观察发现,灰胸薮鹛主要在常绿阔叶林林缘地带活动,海拔范围约500~1 300 m。共设置47个利用样方和25个对照样方。χ²检验的结果表明,灰胸薮鹛主要选择阳坡。与对照样方的差异性检验显示,灰胸薮鹛喜好利用海拔较低、乔木数量较少、乔木胸径较小、乔木均高较低、乔木盖度较小、灌木盖度较大、竹子均高较高、竹子盖度较大、草本盖度较大、藤本植物较丰富、植被总盖度较大和距林缘距离较小的生境。逐步判别分析结果表明,灌木盖度、草本盖度、竹子盖度和距林缘距离是区分利用样方与对照样方的关键因子,判别准确率达87.5%。灰胸薮鹛对冬季栖息地的选择主要与食物和隐蔽条件有关。     

红翅薮鹛滇西亚种人工孵化的初步研究

2007年4～6月对红翅薮鹛滇西亚种卵进行了人工孵化试验.入孵10枚, 受精9枚,受精率为90%; 出雏4羽, 孵化率为44%; 孵化温度为37.7℃, 相对湿度为45%～60%; 平均孵化期为15 d; 平均卵失重为0.91 g,平均失重率为19.43%; 孵化期卵的实际重量(y)与卵孵化期天数(x)的直线回归方程是y=4.792-0.054x (P<0.01).     

峨眉鱊的生物学资料及个体发育的观察

2004年9月~2005年10月对峨眉(Acheilognathus omeiensis)的生物学特性及个体发育进行了初步研究。峨眉为杂食性,栖息于水流较缓的水体中,其适宜的生活温度为4~28℃。1龄即性成熟;婚姻色和第二性征8月下旬开始出现,10月下旬更为明显,此时雌雄性腺均处于Ⅲ期;产卵期为翌年2月上旬至5月上旬,此时输卵管的长度为6.68~22.54 mm(12.539±4.810mm,n=50)。分批产卵,成熟卵量为26~219粒,平均为115粒;非成熟卵量为121~709粒,平均为243粒。产卵时对蚌有明显的选择性,仅将卵产于杜氏珠蚌(Unio douglasiae)的鳃瓣中。峨眉的个体发育分为蚌中发育和出蚌后发育两个时期,依其发育的形态特点,进一步将其生活史粗略地分为胚胎期、仔鱼期、稚鱼期、幼鱼期和成鱼期5个时期,分别记述了各期外部形态和内部器官的变化。     

Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Steere's Liocichla (Liocichla steerii)

For the Steere's Liocichla (Liocichla steerii) we developed seven polymorphic microsatellite markers from a partial genomic library enriched for GATA, tetranucleotide repeats. Among the 27–28 individuals screened, allelic diversity ranged from six to 19 alleles per locus and the observed heterozygosity of each locus ranged from 0.250 to 0.889. All loci conformed to Hardy–Weinberg expectations except for two that appeared to be Z‐Iinked; such Z‐Iinked loci can be used in studies of male dispersal.     

灰胸薮鹛繁殖行为初报

2009年春季在四川省屏山县老君山自然保护区对灰胸薮鹛Liocichla omeiensis繁殖行为进行了观察.灰胸薮鹛胆小畏人,喜藏匿于茂密灌丛中活动、鸣叫.4月中旬进入繁殖期后雄鸟占区鸣唱逐渐增加,5月中旬占区鸣唱达到高峰,5月下旬逐渐减少,进入育雏期.在山顶茂密方竹丛中找到1巢,对其进行了2个全天观察,雌、雄鸟共同喂雏,亲鸟均会暖雏,但雄鸟暖雏较雌鸟少.亲鸟吃掉幼鸟粪便及食物残渣,以保持巢的清洁.亲鸟喂给幼鸟食物以昆虫和小型蛾类为主,在巢期为15天.
