大杜鹃(Cuculus canorus)通常寄生小型雀形目鸟类。由于杜鹃雏鸟的排他性拱卵或拱雏,导致宿主繁殖失败,因此宿主进化出如卵识别能力的反寄生策略。反过来,杜鹃也同时进化出如模拟宿主卵的寄生策略。于是两者之间的相互作用可形成类似军备竞赛的协同进化关系。在匈牙利,大苇莺(Acrocephalus arundinaceus)是大杜鹃的主要宿主,寄生率可高达约 40-65%。以往被认为是大苇莺一个亚种的东方大苇莺(A. orientalis)在日本的种群也被大杜鹃寄生(25-40%)。通过采用光纤光谱仪量化大杜鹃及其宿主的卵色特征,我们比较了东、西半球大杜鹃对两种苇莺的寄生模拟程度。鸟类视觉模型显示,对于可见光颜色,杜鹃与宿主之间卵色的模拟程度在匈牙利高于日本,但匈牙利杜鹃和宿主均较大的卵色变异程度可导致卵色模拟困难。杜鹃与苇莺卵色的量度差异在日本较低,这被证明是宿主拒卵行为的一个重要影响因素。苇莺对大杜鹃卵的拒绝率在日本(35%)和匈牙利(37%)相似。与匈牙利不同,在日本,宿主对杜鹃寄生的应对策略如拒卵行为,先于杜鹃的反适应对策。我们认为,两种近缘物种大苇莺对杜鹃寄生的不同反寄生行为,代表了协同进化军备竞赛的不同演化阶段。 相似文献

新西兰寄生性杜鹃对短波光的视觉敏感性(英文) 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
不同类群的鸟类对于光线中紫外波长部分的敏感程度存在差异。在一些专性巢寄生鸟类的寄生者 - 宿主体系中,寄生卵所反射出来的紫外光对于宿主区分外源鸟卵与自己的卵具有重要作用。反过来说,对于雌性寄主而言,宿主巢中的卵能够最大程度接近自己的卵是非常有利的。虽然视觉敏感性在大多数杜鹃和牛鹂的宿主中都有描述,这些特征在寄主中却少见报道。视觉敏感性能帮助我们理解巢寄生者与宿主之间潜在的感知共进化过程的相关机制以及更好地了解每个物种相应的视觉感知生态。本研究测定了短波长敏感型(SWS1)视蛋白基因的序列来预测两种新西兰专性巢寄生杜鹃——金鹃(Chalcites [Chrysococcyx] lucidus)和长尾噪鹃(Urodynamis[Eudynamis]taitensis)的紫外光敏感性。结果表明两种杜鹃都具有SWS1视蛋白基因,而其最大敏感度集中在短波长光谱中人类可见的紫光部分,而不是紫外光。未来的研究应该关注在鸟类视觉系统下所测的巢寄生者和宿主卵的相似性以及宿主拒绝寄生卵的行为后果这两个方面,来集中探究巢寄生者与宿主之间的视觉敏感度是否匹配。 相似文献

黑头鸭(Heteronetta atricapilla)是鸟类专性巢寄生中唯一的早成性鸟类,其雏鸟孵出后即离开巢,不再需要宿主的哺育。因此可以预期,这一寄生系统与其他的巢寄生鸟类不同,它们应该能利用较多的宿主,繁殖成效也较高。基于在阿根廷4年的研究,我们对黑头鸭的宿主利用模式有了较清晰的认识。在野外我们没有发现黑头鸭自己筑巢的证据,这进一步证实黑头鸭是专性寄生繁殖鸟类。与预期相反的是,黑头鸭仅寄生很少的宿主,包括广泛分布和数量较多的2种骨顶鸡和1种鸥类,其他的宿主很少被利用,要么因为不常见,或因为它们逃避黑头鸭。在这3种主要的宿主中,黑头鸭卵的孵化成功率也由于宿主拒绝或忽略而相当低(≤ 28%),而3种宿主由于捕食而导致的死亡率并不高。这与Weller以往仅1年的观察结果吻合。我们的研究与以往关于黑头鸭巢寄生进化的假说不同,其所利用的宿主种类不多,孵化成功率较低。这表明,古澳大利亚大陆湿地的高捕食压力,以及宿主较强的护巢行为和较高的营巢成功率,在黑头鸭寄生繁殖的进化中扮演着重要角色。 相似文献

在欧洲,有超过125种宿主鸟类的巢里都发现有大杜鹃(Cuculus canorus)的卵,但其实常被大杜鹃寄生和利用的宿主种类并不多。寄生不同宿主的大杜鹃可分成显著不同的宿主专一类群(gentes),迄今欧洲已有超过20种宿主专一类群被报道。每一类群的大杜鹃雌鸟所产的卵的颜色和卵形(如斑点)都较为一致,并专门寄生某一特定的宿主鸟。宿主专一类群可同域出现,也可因为地理隔离而不同,甚至仅局限于宿主分布区的某一区域。不同的宿主专一类群可通过卵的不同而加以区分,在大多数情况下,每一宿主专一类群的卵都模拟其寄生的宿主的卵。为什么一些雀形目鸟类被寄生,而另一些却不被利用?为什么同一宿主种群内一些个体能识别和拒绝杜鹃卵,而另一些个体却接受?为什么同一宿主鸟的不同地理种群对杜鹃卵的识别和拒绝变化很大?大杜鹃不同的宿主专一类群之间的差异到底有多大?本文根据目前已有的知识探讨了这些问题,并对未来的研究进行了展望。 相似文献

牛鹂(Molothrus属,拟鹂科)是一个单起源的类群,包括现存的5种寄生性繁殖鸟类。啸声牛鹂(M.rufoaxillaris)、巨牛鹂(M.oryzivorus)和紫辉牛鹂(M.bonariensis)主要分布在南美。其中,啸声牛鹂与紫辉牛鹂分别代表较古老和最近进化的两个支系,因此有着各自不同的与宿主协同进化的历史。本文研究了紫辉牛鹂的宿主莺鹪鹩(Troglodytes aedon)的拒卵行为,同时综述了以上3种牛鹂的不同宿主的反寄生防御行为。3种牛鹂的宿主均能识别和拒绝非模拟的寄生卵,其中巨牛鹂和紫辉牛鹂的大部分宿主用嘴叼卵,而啸声牛鹂的主要宿主栗翅牛鹂(Agelaioides badius)则用脚扔掉寄生卵。比紫辉牛鹂小的宿主,在遭遇寄生时则不扔卵,也不弃巢。有些宿主比另一些宿主种类对寄生的牛鹂更具有攻击行为。啸声牛鹂的宿主还能够识别非模拟的寄生雏鸟。我们的结果说明,尽管与牛鹂协同进化的历史不同,大部分牛鹂的宿主已经进化出不同类型的反寄生防御对策。 相似文献

鸟类巢寄生是研究协同进化的模式系统。寄生性繁殖的鸟类进化出非常独特、且相对要厚很多的卵壳。关于厚卵壳的进化,主要有以下假说:1)防止产卵损坏假说,即寄生者在巢上将卵产至宿主的巢中时避免损坏;2)防止宿主啄破假说,即厚卵壳可以有效防止宿主对寄生卵的啄破,使其无法扔掉寄生卵;3)雏鸟生长能量假说,即雏鸟具有排他性,由于其较大的身体肌肉骨骼系统发育需要大量钙质,导致卵壳的钙富集而变得较厚;4)抗菌保护假说,即较厚的卵壳有利于保护寄生者的胚胎免于被宿主巢内的微生物所侵害。本文综述了目前关于寄生性繁殖鸟类的厚卵壳进化机制的研究,认为这些假说之间并非相互排斥,但都缺乏足够的实验证据,尽管防止产卵损坏假说和防止宿主啄破假说得到了较多的支持。对于防止宿主啄破假说,如何去量化宿主对寄生卵的拒绝方式如口吞式扔卵、啄破式扔卵和弃巢等,均直接影响到该假说的检验。对此,我们给出了具体的研究建议。 相似文献

那些有着确切的引入历史记录的鸟类种群,为研究生态环境的快速变化对其行为(例如对巢寄生的反应)和生活史特征(例如窝卵数和卵参数)的影响,提供了一个难得的机遇。我们比较了欧金翅雀(Carduelis chloris)在其原产地英国和引入新西兰的种群对外来卵的拒卵行为及其窝卵特征。尽管以往研究认为欧金翅雀不是大杜鹃的合适宿主,因而没有受到杜鹃寄生的选择压力,但我们却发现引入种群的欧金翅雀有拒卵行为(尽管拒卵比例较低)。欧金翅雀在原产地和引入地的弃巢比例没有差异,因此弃巢不是欧金翅雀应对巢寄生的策略。与以往研究不同,两地的窝卵数和卵大小没有显著差异。本文强调了在巢寄生实验中注意控制对照实验组的重要性。 相似文献

通过多年的调查资料、观鸟爱好者所提供的图片和文献整理,我们对多杜鹃寄生系统下的中国寄生性杜鹃及其宿主的多样性进行了系统研究。在中国分布的17种寄生性杜鹃中,迄今已发现11种杜鹃的宿主达55种,均为雀形目鸟类,隶属于15科,其中莺科、鸫科和画眉科分别占到寄生记录总数的 22.6%、20.8% 和 17.0%。大杜鹃(Cuculus canorus)的宿主种类最多(45.5%),是中国最常见、宿主多样性最丰富的寄生性杜鹃。不同种类的寄生性杜鹃的卵色不同,而且杜鹃与其宿主之间均呈现明显的卵色多态性,为典型的卵色协同进化。基于人眼观察,大杜鹃、小杜鹃(C. poliocephalus)和八声杜鹃(Cacomantis merulinus)的卵色均与其宿主高度模拟,而鹰鹃(Cuculus sparverioides)、中杜鹃(C. saturatus)和翠金鹃(Chrysococcyx maculatus)则产非模拟的卵。目前仍有6种寄生性杜鹃的宿主不详,亟待加强研究。 相似文献

寄生者与宿主之间可形成一种类似军备竞赛的协同进化关系。杜鹃与其宿主之间的协同进化是迄今研究最多的一个寄生系统,但人们对亚洲杜鹃的了解却知之甚少。中国是亚洲寄生性杜鹃种类最丰富的国家,多种杜鹃鸟类,特别是形态非常相似的 Cuculus属杜鹃同域分布于某一地区,给杜鹃雏鸟的种类鉴别带来很大困难。这种情况在欧洲不存在,因为Cuculus属杜鹃在欧洲仅1种,即大杜鹃(Cuculus canorus)。本研究对同域繁殖于中国境内、外部形态特征非常相似的4种Cuculus属杜鹃,即大杜鹃、中杜鹃(C. saturatus)、小杜鹃(C.poliocephalus)和四声杜鹃(C. micropterus)雏鸟的重要形态鉴别特征进行了比较,并进一步通过采集雏鸟血样进行DNA分析加以确认。结果表明,Cuculus属4种杜鹃的雏鸟可通过嘴裂和羽毛两个重要形态特征加以区分。这是关于Cuculus属杜鹃雏鸟分子鉴定的首次报道。 相似文献

杜鹃和牛鹂为寄生性繁殖鸟类,把卵产于宿主的巢中,而一些宿主能够扔掉寄生卵。宿主如何识别寄生卵和自己的卵,然后扔掉?最初的实验由于未设对照组,错误地认为宿主是采取"不一致性识别",即扔其中占少数或"较异常"的卵。后来的实验证明,宿主首先通过印记自己的卵,然后识别和扔掉与该记忆模板不同的卵,而无论该卵是少数还是多数。最新的研究表明,对于能产多种颜色卵的宿主而言,由于雄鸟在同一繁殖季可能与产不同颜色卵的雌鸟配对,因而非记忆的"不一致性识别"在雄鸟的卵识别中扮演着重要角色。本文综述了卵识别研究的早期工作和最新进展,包括新技术的应用。卵识别实际上对寄生者和宿主都重要,但寄生者如何识别自己的卵和宿主的卵,却很少有人研究。对诸如寄生者竞争、多寄生性扔卵、黑手党效应、寄养等假说,均需要了解寄生者的卵识别机制,为此我们给出了具体的研究建议。对寄生者卵识别能力的研究,有助于了解寄生性繁殖的鸟类如何反过来应对宿主的反寄生策略。 相似文献

1-(2-Chloroethyl)3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (CCNU) is an alkylating agent in the nitrosourea subclass. A prospective evaluation of CCNU was done to determine the maximally tolerated dosage of CCNU in tumor-bearing cats. Response data were obtained when available. Twenty-five cats were treated with CCNU at a dosage of 50-60 mg/m3 body surface area. Complete hematologic data were available for 13 cats. Neutropenia was the acute dose-limiting toxicity. The median neutrophil count at the nadir was 1,000 cells/microL (mean, 2,433 cells/microL; range, 0-9,694 cells/microL). The time of neutrophil nadir was variable, occurring 7-28 days after treatment, and counts sometimes did not return to normal for up to 14 days after the nadir. Based on these findings, a 6-week dosing interval and weekly hematologic monitoring after the 1st treatment with CCNU are recommended. The nadir of the platelet count may occur 14-21 days after treatment. The median platelet count at the nadir was 43,500 cells/microL. No gastrointestinal, renal, or hepatic toxicities were observed after a single CCNU treatment, and additional studies to evaluate the potential for cumulative toxicity should be performed. Five cats with lymphoma and 1 cat with mast cell tumor had measurable responses to CCNU. Phase II studies to evaluate antitumor activity should be completed with a dosing regimen of 50-60 mg/m3 every 6 weeks. 相似文献

Continuous rate infusion (CRI) of furosemide in humans is considered superior to intermittent administration (IA). This study examined whether furosemide CRI, compared with IA, would increase diuretic efficacy with decreased fluid and electrolyte fluctuations and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in the horse. Five mares were used in a crossover-design study. During a 24-hour period, each horse received a total of 3 mg/kg furosemide by either CRI (0.12 mg/kg/h preceded by a loading dose of 0.12 mg/kg IV) or IA (1 mg/kg IV q8h). There was not a statistically significant difference in urine volume over 24 hours between methods; however, urine volume was significantly greater after CRI compared with IA during the first 8 hours ([median 25th percentile, 75th percentile]: 9.6 L [8.9, 14.4] for CRI versus 5.9 L [5.3, 6.0] for IA). CRI produced a more uniform urine flow, decreased fluctuations in plasma volume, and suppressed renal concentrating ability throughout the infusion period. Potassium, Ca, and Cl excretion was greater during CRI than IA (1,133 mmol [1.110, 1,229] versus 764 mmol [709, 904], 102.7 mmol [96.0, 117.2] versus 73.3 mmol [65.0, 73.5], and 1,776 mmol [1,657, 2.378] versus 1,596 mmol [1,457, 1,767], respectively). Elimination half-lives of furosemide were 1.35 and 0.47 hours for CRI and IA, respectively. The area under the excretion rate curve was 1,285.7 and 184.2 mL x mg/mL for CRI and IA, respectively. Furosemide CRI (0.12 mg/kg/h) for 8 hours, preceded by a loading dose (0.12 mg/kg), is recommended when profound diuresis is needed acutely in horses. 相似文献

The epidemiology of H. placei and of other gastrointestinal nematodes in yearling dairy cattle was examined on two farms in Kiambu District, central Kenya during each of 13 one-month periods from April 1993 to April 1994. On each farm, 32 newly weaned dairy calves were given a single dose of albendazole and then placed on experimental pastures. Twelve of the animals were designated for bi-monthly slaughter (n = 2) and analysis of worm population characteristics and 20 were designated for blood and faecal collection and for weighing. Two parasite-free tracer calves were grazed alongside the weaner calves each month throughout the study period and were also slaughtered for analysis of worm populations. Faecal egg counts, haematological and serum pepsinogen determinations, herbage larval counts, and animal live weight changes were recorded monthly. The study revealed that Haemonchus placei, Trichostrongylus axei, Cooperia spp. and Oesophagostomum radiatum were responsible for parasitic gastroenteritis and that H. placei was the predominant nematode present in the young cattle on both farms. Faecal egg counts from resident cattle and necropsy worm counts revealed that pasture larval levels were directly related to the amount of rainfall. The total worm burdens in the animals were highest during the rainy season (March–June and October–December) and lowest during the dry seasons (July–September and January–February). The very low recovery of immature larvae of H. placei from the tracer calves indicated that arrested development is not a feature of the life cycle of this parasite in central Kenya. The maintenance of the parasite population depended on continuous cycling of infection between the host and the pasture. The agroclimatic conditions of the study area were such that, in general, favourable weather conditions for the development and survival of the free-living stages of gastrointestinal nematodes existed all year round. 相似文献

The occurrence of ectoparasites in sheep flocks is frequently reported but seldom quantified. Sheep production used to be a predominantly family activity in the state of Sa~o Paulo (Brazil), but it began to become a commercial activity in the past decade. Thus, information about the ectoparasites existing in sheep flocks has become necessary. The present data were obtained by means of questionnaires sent to all sheep breeders belonging to the `Associaça~o Paulista de Criadores de Ovinos' (ASPACO; Sa~o Paulo State Association of Sheep Breeders). Response reliability was tested by means of random visits paid to 10.6% of the respondents. Most of the properties (89.5%) reported the presence of one or more ectoparasites. Screw-worm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) was the most frequent ectoparasite (72.5%), followed by bot fly larvae (Dermatobia hominis, 45.0%), ticks (Amblyomma cajennense) and Boophilus microplus, 31.3%) and finally lice (Damalinia ovis, 13.8%). Combined infestations also occurred, the most common one being screw-worm with bot fly larvae (36.0%) followed by bot fly larvae with ticks (13.9%), screw-worm with ticks (9.3%), bot fly larvae with lice (6.9%), and ticks with lice (5.0%). The most common triple combination was screw-worm, bot fly larvae and ticks (12.8%). Breeds raised for meat or wool were attacked by bot fly larvae and ticks more often than other breeds. Lice were only absent from animals of indigenous breeds. The relationships among these ectoparasites are discussed in terms of sheep breeds, flock size, seasonality and the ectoparasitic combinations on the host. 相似文献

An experiment was conducted to study disappearance of C14 to C18 fatty acids, lag times and biohydrogenation (BH) rates of C18 fatty acids of ground soya bean and canola seeds in situ. Three ruminally fistulated Dallagh sheep were used to determine ruminal BH of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs). Differences in the disappearance of fatty acids through the bags and lag times were observed between the oilseeds. We saw that the longer the incubation time of the oilseeds in the rumen, the lower the content of C18:2 and C18:3. Significantly higher lag times for both C18:2 and C18:3 were observed in ground canola compared to ground soya bean. BH rates of C18:2 and C18:3 fatty acids in soya bean were three times higher than those of canola. These results suggest that the fatty acid profile of fat source can affect the BH of UFAs by rumen micro‐organisms. So that UFAs of canola had higher ability to escape from ruminal BH. It seems that fatty acid profile of ruminant products is more affected by canola seed compared to soya bean seed. 相似文献

Serum biochemical values and the wet weight to dry weight ratios of tissues were determined in yaks in Shandan county of Gansu province. The liver, kidney, heart and muscle contents of seven elements in yaks were also analysed. Most serum biochemical values were similar to those of cattle, camels and sheep, but the calcium concentration was considerably above the normal range for other ruminants. The liver contained the highest concentrations of copper, manganese and cobalt and the kidney of selenium, iron and calcium.Abbreviations Alb

A knowledge of the microbiological status of milk and of the different structures in the mammary glands has great importance
in elucidating the pathogenesis of mammary gland infections. The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological
status of various structures in the mammary glands from naturally infected dairy cows following slaughter. A total of 94 samples
of milk, 184 samples of mammary parenchyma, 168 samples of gland cisterns, and 168 samples of teat cisterns were collected
for microbiological examination. Microorganisms were detected in 59.9% of all samples, 67.0% of the milk samples, 70.1% of
the mammary parenchymas, 55.9% of the gland cisterns and 48.8% of the teat cistern samples. When all samples were considered,
coagulase-negative Staphylococcus were the most prevalent (35.7%) followed by coagulase-positive Staphylococcus (12.2%), Corynebacterium bovis (2.4%), Prototheca sp. (1.9%), and Streptococcus dysgalactiae (1.5%). There was a significantly higher occurrence of microorganisms in the milk and mammary parenchyma compared to the
gland cisterns and teat cisterns.

Four grass plots were sequentially contaminated with goat faeces containing known numbers of unembryonated eggs of predominantly Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus spp. between October 1982 and April 1983. Four other plots were similarly contaminated with sheep faeces between February and May 1987. An additional plot was repeatedly contaminated with sheep faeces from February to April 1987. Populations of free-living stages in faeces and of infective larvae (L3) in the herbage were subsequently monitored until the end of April and June of 1983 and 1987 respectively. During February and May 1987 two control cultures of sheep faeces were incubated in the laboratory at 25°C–30°C and at a constant temperature of 50°C and the free-living development was also monitored. L3 developed very readily in the faeces cultured at 25°C–30°C and in those spread on a grass plot in October, at the end of the wet season, but developed less on the plot contaminated in May at the start of the wet season. Worm eggs in faeces deposited on plots during the hot dry season (December to April) or incubated at 50°C died and disintegrated after 24–48 h exposure to the high environmental temperatures. The results indicate that it is unlikely that gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep and goats can develop or survive on open pasture during the dry season in the Nigerian derived savanna zone. 相似文献
