壬基酚与壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚对多刺裸腹溞的复合毒性效应

为了探讨壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚（NP10EO）与其降解产物壬基酚（NP）对多刺裸腹溞的复合毒性效应,在实验室条件下研究了NP和NP10EO单一暴露对多刺裸腹溞的急性毒性和亚慢性毒性,以及两者混合暴露对多刺裸腹溞的联合毒性效应。结果表明：NP和NP10EO两种物质单一暴露对多刺裸腹溞的24 h LC50分别为0.154和3.37 mg.L-1,48 h LC50分别为0.065和2.11 mg.L-1。联合毒性实验中,定义0.5×LC50（NP）＋0.5×LC50（NP10EO）为一个毒性单位（1TU）。NP和NP10EO混合暴露后对多刺裸腹溞的24 h和48 h的LC50分别是0.646TU和0.291TU,联合毒性强度明显高于两种物质单一暴露时的毒性强度。在持续混合暴露条件下,多刺裸腹溞的首次生殖时间延迟、母体体长和初生幼体体长严重缩短、首次生殖数量大幅减少。说明NP和NP10EO对多刺裸腹溞的复合毒性表现出明显的协同效应。     

红霉素对连续3个世代多刺裸腹溞存活和生殖的影响

红霉素是一种常用的大环内酯类抗生素,其对多刺裸腹溞连续世代生活史参数的影响尚不得而知。本文以连续3个世代的多刺裸腹溞为对象,研究了不同浓度(0.02、0.2、2、20、200和2 000μg·L~(-1))的红霉素对其平均寿命、首次生殖年龄、生殖窝数、窝卵数和总后代数等的影响。结果表明,红霉素浓度对多刺裸腹溞的平均寿命、首次生殖年龄、生殖窝数、窝卵数和总后代数的影响在多刺裸腹溞世代间均存在着明显的差异。与空白对照组相比,红霉素浓度对多刺裸腹溞F0代平均寿命的影响表现出"低(0.02μg·L~(-1))促高(2~2 000μg·L~(-1))抑"的剂量-效应关系,暴露于20μg·L~(-1)红霉素溶液中的多刺裸腹溞F0代的生殖窝数显著减小了55.76%,但暴露于各浓度红霉素溶液中的多刺裸腹溞F1和F2代的平均寿命和生殖窝数均未出现显著性差异;暴露于各浓度红霉素溶液中的多刺裸腹溞F0代的首次生殖年龄也未出现显著性差异,但暴露于0.2、20~2 000μg·L~(-1)红霉素溶液中的F1代的首次生殖年龄显著减小了4.90%~15.69%,暴露于0.2~2 000μg·L~(-1)红霉素溶液中的F2代的首次生殖年龄显著减小了5.00%~16.00%;暴露于20和200μg·L~(-1)红霉素溶液中的多刺裸腹溞F1代的窝卵数分别显著增加了28.87%和10.18%,但暴露于各浓度红霉素溶液中的F0和F2代的窝卵数未出现显著性差异;暴露于2~200μg·L~(-1)的红霉素溶液中的多刺裸腹溞F0代的总后代数显著减少了43.99%~62.21%,而暴露于20和200μg·L~(-1)红霉素溶液中的F1代的总后代数分别增加28.56%和37.17%,红霉素浓度对多刺裸腹溞总后代数的显著性影响在F2代中消失。本研究结果表明,多刺裸腹溞对不同剂量红霉素多代暴露表现出适应性或耐受性。     

壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚对大型溞的急性和慢性毒性效应

通过急性毒性实验和21 d慢性毒性实验,研究壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NP40EO)对大型溞(Daphnia magna)的致死性和生长繁殖指标的影响,建立毒物剂量-反应关系,并寻找其中的敏感生物学指标。急性毒性试验结果表明:NP40EO对大型溞的48 h半抑制浓度(EC50)为14.23 mg·L-1。慢性毒性试验结果表明,NP40EO对大型溞的平均蜕壳次数、首次产幼溞时间、平均产幼溞数量、平均产幼溞胎数和存活个体的平均体长都有显著影响。其中,0.445 mg·L-1暴露浓度可以显著减少大型溞的蜕壳次数、平均产幼溞数、平均产幼溞胎数和存活个体的平均体长。因此,综合考虑各项指标,NP40EO对大型溞21 d的最低观测效应浓度(LOEC)值为0.445 mg·L-1,无观测效应浓度(NOEC)值为0.11 mg·L-1。此外,还发现当NP40EO暴露浓度为1.78 mg·L-1时,大型溞的首次蜕壳时间和首次产幼溞时间受到显著影响。由此可见,NP40EO在一定程度上对大型溞的生长和繁殖具有抑制效应。     

3种酚类化合物对多刺裸腹溞GST和AChE活力的影响

为探讨酚类化合物对水生生物的毒性效应,实验研究了多刺裸腹溞（Moina macrocopa）暴露于不同浓度的苯酚（0.25、0.75、1.25、1.75、2.25mg·L-1）、邻苯二酚（0.10、0.25、0.40、0.55、0.70mg·L-1）和间苯二酚（0.015、0.030、0.045、0.060、0.075mg·L-1）后,体内谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶（GST）和乙酰胆碱酯酶（AChE）活力的动态变化. 结果表明,3种酚类化合物处理24h后,多刺裸腹溞体内GST活力随染毒浓度的升高呈先升高后降低趋势. 处理48h后,体内GST活力随苯酚和邻苯二酚浓度的升高逐渐降低,而间苯二酚对GST活力的影响与处理24h后GST活力的变化趋势相似. 3种酚类化合物处理24h、48h后,多刺裸腹溞体内AChE活力均呈先升高后降低趋势. 48h处理多刺裸腹溞体内GST和AChE活力均显著低于24h处理. 短时间内低浓度酚类化合物对GST和AChE活力具有诱导作用,但随着酚类化合物处理浓度的升高和处理时间的延长酶活力受到显著抑制. GST和AChE活力的变化能够灵敏地反映出酚类化合物对多刺裸腹溞的毒性大小及造成的损伤,初步推断可作为生物标志物来评价酚类污染物对水生生物的生化毒性.     

3种酚类化合物对多刺裸腹溞GST和AChE活力的影响

为探讨酚类化合物对水生生物的毒性效应,实验研究了多刺裸腹溞(Moina macrocopa)暴露于不同浓度的苯酚(0.25、0.75、1.25、1.75、2.25mg·L-1)、邻苯二酚(0.10、0.25、0.40、0.55、0.70mg·L-1)和间苯二酚(0.015、0.030、0.045、0.060、0.075mg·L-1)后,体内谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶(GST)和乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)活力的动态变化.结果表明,3种酚类化合物处理24h后,多刺裸腹溞体内GST活力随染毒浓度的升高呈先升高后降低趋势.处理48h后,体内GST活力随苯酚和邻苯二酚浓度的升高逐渐降低,而间苯二酚对GST活力的影响与处理24h后GST活力的变化趋势相似.3种酚类化合物处理24h、48h后,多刺裸腹溞体内AChE活力均呈先升高后降低趋势.48h处理多刺裸腹溞体内GST和AChE活力均显著低于24h处理.短时间内低浓度酚类化合物对GST和AChE活力具有诱导作用,但随着酚类化合物处理浓度的升高和处理时间的延长酶活力受到显著抑制.GST和AChE活力的变化能够灵敏地反映出酚类化合物对多刺裸腹溞的毒性大小及造成的损伤,初步推断可作为生物标志物来评价酚类污染物对水生生物的生化毒性.     

三种双酰胺类杀虫剂制剂对大型溞生长发育和繁殖的影响

为探索双酰胺类杀虫剂对大型溞的慢性毒性,本文采用氟虫双酰胺、氯虫苯甲酰胺和溴氰虫酰胺3种双酰胺类杀虫剂制剂,测定其对大型溞生长发育和繁殖的影响,明确其对大型溞的慢性毒性以及大型溞对该类杀虫剂敏感的端点指标。结果表明,氟虫双酰胺、氯虫苯甲酰胺和溴氰虫酰胺3种制剂对大型溞的寿命、体长、蜕皮数、首胎时长、产胎数、单雌产溞数等端点指标具有不同程度的影响。3种杀虫剂显著减少大型溞蜕皮数的最低浓度分别为1.00×10-2mg·L~(-1)、1.00×10-4mg·L~(-1)、1.25×10-3mg·L~(-1);显著缩短寿命的最低浓度分别为5.00×10-3mg·L~(-1)、1.00×10~(-4)mg·L~(-1)和1.25×10-3mg·L~(-1);显著缩短体长的最低浓度分别为5.00×10-3mg·L~(-1)、8.00×10-4mg·L~(-1)和1.00×10~(-2)mg·L~(-1);显著减少产胎数的最低浓度分别为1.00×10-2mg·L~(-1)、4.00×10-4mg·L~(-1)和1.00×10-2mg·L~(-1);显著减少单雌产溞数的最低浓度分别为1.00×10~(-2)mg·L~(-1)、8.00×10-4mg·L~(-1)和5.00×10-3mg·L~(-1);但是,除溴氰虫酰胺外,其他2种杀虫剂制剂对首胎时长却没有显著影响。端点指标中对氟虫双酰胺的敏感性为寿命和体长蜕皮数、产胎数和单雌产溞数首胎时长;对氯虫苯甲酰胺为蜕皮数和寿命产胎数体长和单雌产溞数首胎时长;对溴氰虫酰胺为蜕皮数和寿命单雌产溞数体长、首胎时长和产胎数。研究结果说明,3种双酰胺类杀虫剂对大型溞的生长发育和繁殖具有不同程度的抑制作用,寿命是评价该类杀虫剂制剂对大型溞慢性毒性的最敏感端点指标。     

5种酚类化合物对3种水生生物的毒性作用

壬基酚在蛋白核小球藻和大型溞体内的富集与传递

为探究壬基酚(nonylphenol,NP)在水生生物中的富集传递效应,选择以蛋白核小球藻(Chlorella pyrenoidosa)和大型溞(Daphnia magna)为研究对象,开展蛋白核小球藻对NP的富集效应实验,及NP在蛋白核小球藻和大型溞体内的传递效应实验。研究结果表明,NP对蛋白核小球藻的96 h半数效应浓度(96 h-EC50)为3.13 mg·L~(-1),对蛋白核小球藻的生长和叶绿素含量的影响呈现明显的剂量-时间效应。NP对大型溞的48 h半数效应浓度(48 h-LC50)为37.41μg·L~(-1),属于高毒类化合物。蛋白核小球藻暴露于0.05 mg·L-1NP 4 h后,其生物富集系数(BCF)为5 144.93,富集量为252.2μg·g~(-1),在12 h内对NP的生物富集系数(BCF)最高达12 053.64,富集量为1 181.73μg·g~(-1)。以0.05 mg·L-1NP中暴露4 h后的蛋白核小球藻为饵料投喂大型溞7 d后,大型溞体内NP富集量最高达3.6μg·g~(-1)。0.05 mg·L~(-1)NP直接暴露组大型溞暴露10 d后,大型溞体内NP富集量最高达4.02μg·g~(-1)。蛋白核小球藻对NP具有较强的富集能力,能够通过摄食过程将NP传递到大型溞,经传递的NP能够显著抑制大型溞的生长、繁殖、摄食等生命活动。论文为评估NP在水生生态系统中的污染风险和富集传递效应提供了一定的参考依据。     

浑河沈阳河段重金属镉的水质基准阈值探讨

研究镉对浑河沈阳河段的水质基准,采用当地水源和实验室自来水及当地物种蛇鮈、麦穗鱼和多刺裸腹溞进行毒性试验,利用"水效应比值法(WER)"和辽河流域常规基准值推导该河段镉的基准最大浓度(CMC)和基准连续浓度(CCC).结果表明,在原水中镉对蛇鮈和麦穗鱼的96 h半数死亡浓度(96 h-LC50)和镉对多刺裸腹溞的48 h半数效应浓度(48 h-EC50)分别为1.98 mg·L~(-1)、1.13 mg·~(-1)、0.17 mg·~(-1),在实验室配制水中分别为2.19 mg·~(-1)、1.16 mg·~(-1)、0.60 mg·~(-1);镉对蛇鮈、麦穗鱼和多刺裸腹溞的WER分别为0.9041、0.9741、0.2833,其几何平均值为0.6295.该河段镉的CMC为1.86μg·~(-1),CCC为0.025μg·~(-1).浑河沈阳河段镉的急慢性基准值均小于流域及国家的急慢性基准值.     

三唑酮对大型溞代际影响的转录组学分析

三唑酮是一种普遍使用的唑类杀菌剂,其对水生生物的危害已经引起广泛关注。为探讨三唑酮对无脊椎动物的毒性效应和致毒机理,以大型溞为模式生物,开展多代试验,评估不同浓度(5、12.5、25、50、100和200μg·L^(-1))的三唑酮对大型溞生长和繁殖以及每代时间间隔的影响。结果表明,暴露21 d后,200μg·L(-1))的三唑酮对大型溞生长和繁殖以及每代时间间隔的影响。结果表明,暴露21 d后,200μg·L^(-1)的三唑酮显著降低了大型溞的体长和繁殖能力。转录组分析发现,三唑酮暴露后,F1代和F2代的处理组与对照组的差异表达基因分别为376个和422个,而两代间的差异表达基因共2 604个。通过对差异表达基因的功能富集发现,三唑酮对大型溞F1代影响的主要通路有蛋白质吸收消化、视黄醇新陈代谢、氧化应激和甾类激素生物合成等,对F2代影响的主要通路有抗原处理和呈递、类固醇生物合成和谷胱甘肽代谢等。三唑酮对大型溞可能的毒性作用有氧化应激、内分泌干扰效应、神经毒性和免疫毒性,且可能会存在传代效应。     

防污漆活性物质敌草隆对两代摇蚊的生命周期毒性

为了对防污漆杀生活性物质敌草隆的环境毒性进行评估,根据《沉积物-水体中摇蚊生命周期毒性试验—水体加标法或沉积物加标法》(OECD-233),以底栖生物花翅摇蚊为试验对象,通过添加敌草隆的上覆水溶液(浓度设置为1.22 mg·L~(-1)、1.94mg·L~(-1)、3.08 mg·L~(-1)、4.88 mg·L~(-1)、7.74 mg·L~(-1)和12.26 mg·L~(-1))对两代花翅摇蚊先后进行暴露,研究其对摇蚊孵化、发育、羽化和繁殖等阶段的影响。结果显示,敌草隆对亲代花翅摇蚊及其子代的羽化率产生抑制,EC_(50)值分别为7.56 mg·L~(-1)和5.24 mg·L~(-1),子代对敌草隆的耐受性有所降低;还对亲代和子代发育率产生抑制,EC_(50)分别为5 mg·L~(-1)和4.33 mg·L~(-1),表明子代对敌草隆的敏感性增加;敌草隆能够影响两代花翅摇蚊的雌雄性别比率,浓度-效应曲线均呈倒"U"型;另外,随着暴露浓度的增加,两代花翅摇蚊所产卵的孵化率均下降,亲代和子代的EC_(50)分别为2.53 mg·L~(-1)和10.4 mg·L~(-1),提示子代所产卵对敌草隆的抗性增强;同样地,敌草隆对两代花翅摇蚊的繁殖力均有抑制作用,亲代EC_(50)值为1.99 mg·L~(-1),子代EC_(50)为2.68 mg·L~(-1)。总之,敌草隆暴露对花翅摇蚊上述生活史各阶段均能造成不利影响,其中在羽化和发育阶段可观察到敌草隆毒性的累积,而就卵的孵化率而言,子代所产卵较母代所产卵对敌草隆表现出一定程度的抗性。     

Effects of nonylphenol on endocrine regulation-associated gene expression profiles in whole brain of F1 generation male rats

In order to determine the effects of nonylphenol (NP) on endocrine regulation-associated gene expression profiles in whole brain of F1 generation rats, mRNA extracted from the brain of 2-day old F1 generation rats whose F0 male generation was treated with NP. The mRNA was then reversely transcribed to cDNA and labeled with cy5 and cy3 fluorescence. Subsequently, cDNA probes were hybridized to the Mouse40S cDNA microarray and the fluorescent signals of cy5 and cy3 were scanned and analyzed. Sixteen genes were identified which expressed differently, including 13 that were down-regulated in which 4 were related to brain regulation of endocrine function. Data suggest that NP mainly affects metabolism and synthesis of steroid hormone in various ways and disturbs the reproductive function of male rats when administered perinatally.     

Effect of butyl benzyl phthalate on life table-demography of two successive generations of cladoceran Moina macrocopa Straus

In this study, the acute toxicity of butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) to freshwater cladoceran Moina macrocopa was tested, and its chronic effects on survival and reproduction of two successive generations of the cladoceran were studied using life-table demographic method. The results showed that the 48-hr LC50 of BBP for M. macrocopa was 3.69 mg l(-1). Compared to the blank controls, BBP at 125, 500, 1000 and 2000 microg l(-1) significantly shortened the life expectancy at birth, BBP at 125-2000 microg l(-1) decreased the net reproductive rate, and BBP at 500 and 1000 microg I(-1) shortened the generation time but increased the intrinsic rate of population increase of the parental M. macrocopa. BBP at 62.5,125, 500,1000 and 2000 microg l(-1) increased the intrinsic rate of population increase of the F1 generation. A significant dose-effect relationship existed between BBP concentration and life expectancy at birth, net reproductive rate as well as intrinsic rate of population increase of the parental M. macrocopa. The parental M. macrocopa were more sensitive in survival, development and reproduction to BBP than the F1 generation, but the reverse was also true in the population growth. Extending chronic toxicity tests to the second generation of M. macrocopa increased the cost-effectiveness of the assays.     

内分泌干扰物莠去津对鲫鱼血清激素的影响

为了研究低剂量条件下,内分泌干扰物莠去津对鲫鱼血清激素的影响,探讨其作用机理和剂量-效应关系,同时筛选出敏感的生物标志物,实验以除草剂莠去津对鲫鱼进行低剂量染毒(染毒浓度0～3mg·L-1),采用放射免疫法测定莠去津长期暴露下(60d)幼年雄性鲫鱼血清中性激素(17β-雌二醇(E2)、睾酮(T))及甲状腺激素(促甲状腺激素(TSH)、三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T3))的浓度,并将测定结果与空白对照及溶剂对照进行比较.结果发现:1)莠去津长期暴露下,各处理组鲫鱼血清E2浓度普遍升高,0.023、0.094、1.500、3.000mg·L-1组与空白对照相比,升高显著(p<0.05);2)各处理组鲫鱼血清T浓度与空白对照相比均无显著性差异(p>0.05);3)莠去津长期暴露下,低浓度莠去津组(0.006、0.023mg·L-1组)鲫鱼血清TSH浓度与空白对照相比差异不显著(p>0.05),而高浓度莠去津组(0.094、1.500、3.000mg·L-1组)则显著降低(p<0.05);4)类似地,莠去津长期暴露下,低浓度莠去津组(0.006、0.023、0.094、0.375、1.500mg·L-1组)鲫鱼血清T3浓度与空白对照相比差异不显著(p>0.05),只有高浓度莠去津组(3.000mg·L-1组)显著升高(p<0.05).实验结果表明,低剂量长期暴露下,莠去津对鲫鱼体内性激素及甲状腺激素具有一定的干扰作用,尤其是对17β-雌二醇影响更为显著,因此,17β-雌二醇可作为评价农药内分泌干扰效应的生物标志物.     

Control and coordination of reproduction and molting in the spiny lobster Panulirus argus

Behavioral and physiological correlates of vernal reproduction and molting were investigated experimentally in laboratory-held spiny lobsters (Panulirus argus Latreille) from Florida to determine their control by photoperiod and temperature. Behavioral measures included courtship, copulation and aggression; physiological measures included the timing and frequency of ecdysis, spermatophore emplacement, oviposition, egg hatching, and setal (pleopod) and gonadal development. Behavior resembled that observed in nature, as evidenced in the expression of complete reproductive cycles. Long daylengths and warmer temperatures enhanced courtship, spawning frequencies, and female gonadal development, although gonadal recrudescence occurred in large females irrespective of photoperiod. A significant interaction effect between photoperiod and temperature indicated a need to examine joint, non-independent factor effects upon reproductive parameters. Photoperiod and temperature did not significantly influence aggression and male gonadal development. Photoperiod did not affect molting rates significantly. However, warm temperatures enhanced molting and growth such that sub-adult and young adult lobsters (both sexes) had highest molting rates, followed by large adult males, which in turn had higher rates than reproductively active females. Female setal development correlated positively with female size, and changed abruptly at ecdysis. Although setal lengths were highly variable, setae of 9 mm or more signified sexual maturity. Reproduction and molting were size-dependent: the largest adults mated or spawned, the smallest molted, and intermediate-sized ones either mated, or molted before mating. Spiny-lobster reproductive and molting patterns were influenced by photoperiod and temperature in a complex manner depending upon sex, season, size and developmental state.     

Dynamique des populations de Tisbe holothuriae (Crustacea: Copepoda) en élevage sur trois régimes artificiels différents

The influence of three different artificial diets (Tetramin, Bioter food and Renutryl) on the life cycle of Tisbe holothuriae Humes, 1957 has been investigated under constant experimental conditions (19°C; 38 S). Females (F2) whose life history has been followed, were obtained from a common mother (F1). They were bred in 50 ml dishes and transferred into a fresh container as soon as they produced a new egg-sac. Offspring (F3) resulting from successive egg-layings were counted as soon as they moulted into adults. Larval mortality was estimated in two ways: (1) by enumeration of adults issuing from a known number of nauplii; (2) by comparison of the average number of eggs from egg-sacs of F2 with the average number of adult offspring F3. The life-span of F2 females, including the larval stages, varies between 23.6 days (Renutryl diet) and 33.4 days (Tetramin diet). The first egg-sac appears about 12 days after hatching, whatever diet is used. The first copulation immediately follows the last moult, about 8 days after hatching. The reproductive period lasts for 6.5 (Renutryl) to 10.4 days (Bioter). The average number of successive egg-sacs laid is minimal with Renutryl (3.7) and maximal with Tetramin (5.1), but actual egg production is higher with Renutryl (86 eggs/sac) than with Bioter (67) or Tetramin (58). Nevertheless, as a result of varying larval mortality with the different diets, eventual numbers of adult F3 obtained are significantly higher with Bioter (310) than with Tetramin and Renutryl (216 and 188, respectively). The offspring F3 sex-ratio varies in successive broods and with the nature of the food offered: more females are produced with Bioter or Renutryl than with the Tetramin diet. Then net reproduction rate, R ₀, is higher with Bioter, because of the low larval mortality, high fertility, and high ratio of females resulting from this diet. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (r _m) is similar with Renutryl and Bioter diets (0.298 and 0.301, respectively), a lower value (0.260) occurs with the Tetramin diet. These different values are discussed and compared with previous data for Tisbe species fed natural diets.     

重金属铅、镉对矮小拟丽突线虫（Acrobeloides nanus）的亚急性毒性作用

为了探讨重金属Pb、Cd对矮小拟丽突线虫(Acrobeloides nanus)的亚急性毒性作用,采用室内培养的方法,研究了不同浓度Pb和Cd对矮小拟丽突线虫生长发育、繁殖的影响,并对线虫世代间的毒性效应进行了比较.结果表明,1)与对照组相比,各暴露组当代(P0)和后代(F1)线虫平均体长均显著降低(p<0.05,p<0.01);随着重金属浓度的增加,当代(P0)和后代(F1)线虫平均体长呈现逐渐降低的趋势.2)随着Pb、Cd暴露浓度的增加,线虫产卵数逐渐降低;Pb对线虫产卵数的72h-EC20、EC10分别为17.41、4.36mg·L-1,Cd对线虫产卵数的72h-EC50、EC20和EC10分别为4.47、0.91和0.53mg·L-1.以上结果表明,重金属Pb、Cd暴露可显著抑制矮小拟丽突线虫的生长发育、繁殖;线虫体长、产卵数具有明显的重金属浓度依赖性。     

盐酸四环素对秀丽线虫(C.elegans)的急性与多代毒性研究

环境中抗生素的生态安全性受到越来越多的关注.以盐酸四环素(TCH)为对象、秀丽线虫(C.elegans)为模式生物,开展了急性与多代毒性研究.急性毒性实验表明盐酸四环素对秀丽线虫的LC50为167.5mg·L-(112h)、82.9mg·L-(124h),与现有四环素毒性数据相比,秀丽线虫对TCH的毒性更为敏感.分别对虫卵和成虫进行多代毒性的研究表明,盐酸四环素环境水平(μg·L-1)下的暴露,对秀丽线虫母代(P0)、子一代(F1)和子二代(F2)的逆向运动抑制率(RMI)、身体弯曲频率(BBFI)、Omega运动抑制率(OMI)3个行为学指标均具有显著的抑制作用,而且行为学指标比死亡率更加敏感,虫卵比成虫更加敏感.多代毒性作用的结果表明,盐酸四环素对P0、F1和F2产生的毒性存在差异,对于RMI和BBFI,其毒性作用强度为P0>F2>F1;对于OMI,其毒性作用强度为P0>F1≈F2.代际之间没有显示世代毒性逐代恶化或逐代修复的一般规律,可能与行为学指标的敏感性差异、盐酸四环素自身的降解、生物抗性有关.     

Age-specific survivorship in relation to clutch size and fledging success in California gulls

Summary Data from a natural population of California gulls (Larus californicus) demonstrated that increasing reproductive effort with age was associated with reduced survivorship. Number of offspring fledged but not clutch size was inversely related to adult survivorhip indicating that reproductively induced mortality resulted from the cumulative effects of the entire breeding season. Agerelated increases in fledging success were correlated with increased adult mortality. Young gulls fledged few offspring and had high survival rates. Old gulls tended to fledge more offspring and had low survival rates. However, those old gulls fledging few offspring survived as well as young gulls. Data also invalidate the assumption that survivorship is age-constant in this species.
