繁殖季节和非繁殖季节布氏田鼠种群参数和生理特点的差异

在繁殖季节(6月份)和非繁殖季节(10月份),采集了内蒙古自治区阿尔善宝力格地区的布氏田鼠样本,比较其种群参数与生理指标,探讨了布氏田鼠社群结构和生理特征的季节性差异,并分析了原因。结果表明,布氏田鼠的年龄组成和性比存在明显的季节差异:繁殖季节洞口系数小,种群性比接近1,主要由当年新生鼠和越冬鼠组成;非繁殖季节洞口系数大,种群性比偏雄,主要由当年新生鼠组成。繁殖器官在繁殖季节显著大于非繁殖季节,保持了更高活性。非繁殖季节个体的胴重比更高,且雄鼠高于雌鼠,表明非繁殖季节个体和雄鼠具有更好的营养状态;同时,非繁殖季节个体具有更小的肾上腺和更大的脾脏,说明非繁殖季节中的布氏田鼠表现出更低的应激状态和更强的免疫能力。这些研究结果表明,布氏田鼠的种群参数和生理特点具有明显的季节性特点,这与不同季节中布氏田鼠采取的生存策略有着紧密联系。

Population parameters and physiological characteristics of Brandt's vole (Lasiopodomys brandtii) in breeding and non-breeding seasons

We studied population parameters and physiological characteristics in Brandt's vole(Lasiopodomys brandtii)across periods of breeding and non-breeding near Aershanbaolige Town,Inner Mongolia.Here,we show that the breeding population built more burrows,had a non-biased sex ratio,and was composed of overwintering and newborn voles.During non-breeding periods the population occupied relatively fewer burrows,had a male-biased sex ratio,and was comprised of newborn voles only.Cleaned carcass index was higher in n...
