季节、环境温度与黄鼠冬眠的关系

观察了达乌尔黄鼠在实验室内冬眠的一般情况。常温黄鼠的体温有着规律性的年周期,与环境温度的年周期变动不完全呈依从关系。出眠初期(4月下旬),动物体温高而稳定。4月至6月常温黄鼠的平均体温(皮温)为35.6℃,波动菹围32—37.5℃。随着体重达到顶峰,体温逐渐降低。8月份部分黄鼠出现低于32℃的低常体温,表明部分黄鼠自8月盛夏开始冬眠。但就整个种群而言,北京地区实验室内黄鼠冬眠季自9月下半月开始。3月底止,共6.5个月。秋季室温下降,动物入眠趋势增长。浅低体温(31.9—15℃)的比数逐渐升高。9月至12月,低体温(低于31.9℃)的百分比从47％增至84.8％,反映了动物从浅冬眠向深冬眠过渡。1月至2月份,低体温占85％以上,深低体温(低于15℃)占绝对优势。标志着动物种群的深眠月份。秋季动物从常温期向冬眠期转化的界线是不清的,而春季从冬眠期向常温相转化的界限却比较明显。

BEARINGS OF SEASON AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE ON HIBERNATION OF THE GROUND SQUIRRELS (CITELLUS DAURICUS)

This report summarizes the results of a I1/2-year observation on hibernation of the ground squirrels (Citellus dauricus) under laboratory conditions during 1980, 10-1982, 4 .The body temperatuer (Tb) of the homoiothermal or euthermal animal has its own pattern of circannual rhythm which does not completely depend on the seasonal change in the ambient temperature (Ta).In the months following the emergence from hibernation, animals usually have a higher and steady Tb, the Tb of euthermic animals (inguinal ski...
