硫丹对蚯蚓存活、生长和肠胃线粒体超微结构的影响

通过人工土壤法对蚯蚓进行14d的急性暴露,研究了硫丹对蚯蚓存活、生长的影响;试验结束后,从硫丹剂量为0.5mg·kg-1和5 mg·kg-1的处理中挑选蚯蚓制作超薄切片,观察肠、胃部线粒体超微结构的变化.结果表明,硫丹对蚯蚓有较强的毒性作用,14d的LC50为6.52mg·kg-1.试验期间硫丹对蚯蚓的生长有显著的抑制作用,生长抑制率随硫丹剂量和暴露时间增加而增大.蚯蚓肠胃部的线粒体对硫丹有较强的敏感性,在非致死剂量下超微结构的损伤程度随硫丹剂量增加而加重.     

氯苯和邻二氯苯的蚯蚓急性毒性研究

文章以赤子爱胜蚓(Eisenia foetida)滤纸急性毒性实验研究氯苯和邻二氯苯对蚯蚓的单一和联合毒性效应。单一毒性实验发现,蚯蚓死亡率和氯苯与邻二氯苯的曝露浓度显著正相关(P<0.05),其48 h LC50分别为5.680 mL/L和2.750 mL/L,表明氯苯的毒性小于邻二氯苯;同时通过观察可知,氯苯以皮肤渗入赤子爱胜蚓体内的毒性效应高于邻二氯苯;另外,实验期间,蚯蚓的体重明显下降,且与污染物浓度呈一定的线性关系(氯苯R2=0.780和P<0.05)。联合毒性实验发现,氯苯和邻二氯苯共存时蚯蚓的死亡率增加,表明氯苯和邻二氯苯复合污染时两者的毒性呈协同作用。可见,氯苯和邻二氯苯污染对土壤生态系统安全和土壤健康质量存在较大的威胁,同时这两种污染物的共存进一步加大了潜在危害性,且复合毒性效应与各组浓度组合密切相关。     

6:2氟调羧酸在蚯蚓体内的毒理效应及代谢转化

以赤子爱胜蚓(Eisenia fetida)为受试生物,通过活体与离体实验,研究6:2氟调羧酸(6:2FTCA)在蚯蚓体内的毒理效应和代谢转化机制.结果表明,6:2FTCA对蚯蚓体内丙二醛(MDA)含量和过氧化物酶(POD)活性无显著影响,但能够使过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性提高,使超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽转移酶(GST)活性显著升高,说明6:2FTCA对蚯蚓产生了氧化胁迫效应.6:2FTCA在蚯蚓细胞色素P450(CYP450)和GST酶提取液中的降解动力学均符合一级动力学模型,在CYP450(0.014/h)酶液中的降解速率明显高于GST (0.006/h),其终端全氟羧酸(PFCAs)代谢产物为全氟己酸(PFHxA)、全氟戊酸(PFPeA)和全氟丁酸(PFBA),说明CYP450和GST参与了6:2FTCA在蚯蚓体内的代谢转化,且CYP450贡献大于GST.蚯蚓肠道好氧微生物对6:2FTCA具有显著的降解效果,终端PFCAs降解产物为PFHxA和PFPeA,而肠道厌氧微生物对6:2FTCA无降解作用.     

Cd、Cu和Pb复合污染对蚯蚓抗氧化酶活性的影响

采用蚯蚓毒性试验和均匀组合设计(Cd:0~15 mg·kg-1,Cu:0~175 mg·kg-1,Pb:0~600 mg·kg-1)方法,以赤子爱胜蚓(Eisenia foetida)为试验蚓种,研究了土壤中重金属Cd、Cu、Pb复合污染对蚯蚓体内超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽硫转移酶(GST)和酸性磷酸酶(AP)活性的影响,为重金属污染土壤的生物学诊断和风险评价提供科学依据.结果表明,Cd、Cu、Pb复合胁迫对蚯蚓SOD、GST和AP活性产生显著的诱导效应,酶活性与重金属含量及其持续时间密切相关:蚯蚓SOD活性在暴露前8 d因受重金属胁迫比第0 d增加了7.4%~240.5%,之后因胁迫过强被抑制,比第8 d下降了19.4%~69.7%.GST活性则在暴露前16 d持续增加了104.3%~217.3%,之后受抑制比第16 d下降了1.2%~40.3%.AP活性随时间呈"促进-抑制-促进-抑制"变化,在第8 d受胁迫比第0 d下降了9.2%~37.8%,至第16 d产生适应比第8 d增加了37.2%~117.2%,但最终因胁迫过强比第16 d下降了24.3%~34.0%.回归分析表明,Pb和Cd-Cu-Pb对SOD活性的产生影响最为显著,Cd和Cu则显著影响了GST和AP活性.     

蚯蚓在污水土地处理中的应用分析

蚯蚓是一种重要的资源,一方面为人类提供蛋白质、氨基酸等营养;另一方面作为分解者,可以用来治理或降低环境污染,保护生态环境。污水土地处理具有低建设成本、低运行成本和管理方便等特点而引起了广泛关注,但土地处理也存在占地面积比较大,氮、磷去除率不高,土壤堵塞和运行不稳定等问题。针对这些问题,文章分析了蚯蚓在污染物去除、提高植物生物量和提高土壤渗透率等方面的作用,并分析了蚯蚓在解决污水土地处理中土壤堵塞、植物退化、水力负荷比较低和占地面积比较大等问题的可行性,提出将蚯蚓引入土地处理系统能提高土地处理的效率和运行的稳定性,加快污水土地处理技术的应用。     

The rhythm of stereotypic behaviors in captive giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)北大核心CSCD

Stereotypy can be defined as a repetitive behavioral pattern with no apparent function or target in captivity. It is considered an abnormal behavior in contrast to the behavior in wild habitats and is often used as an important index to evaluate the captive environment, which has a significant scientific value. Many previous studies have focused on the impact of environment on stereotypical behavior; however, the rhythm of stereotypy remains unclear. To determine the mechanism of stereotypy, eight giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) were investigated 24 h a day from Jan 2018 to Dec 2019, with focal sampling and continuous recording. No stereotypy in the juveniles was noted, while the adult giant pandas displayed different stereotypies. Mean stereotypy durations were 0.72% of the total activity in circadian rhythm, with a peak of mean durations in all seasons occurring at 7:00 am–9:00 am, while, in spring, there was a peak of mean duration at 1:00 am–3:00 am. Although there was no significant difference, mean stereotypy durations and frequencies in the night were longer than those in the daytime. Mean stereotypy frequencies in spring reached the highest level, whereas mean stereotypy durations in winter were maximal. The adult giant pandas in the daytime showed maximal mean stereotypy durations in winter and minimal mean stereotypy durations in busy seasons (summer and autumn), whereas mean stereotypy durations at night were maximal in busy seasons. Despite no significant differences among these seasons, our results suggest that the stereotypy of giant pandas may have diurnal rhythms and seasonal differences. In light of the similar captive environment between adult and juvenile giant pandas, the appearance of stereotypy may be correlated with age, which may be the effects of the environment or a strategy of adaptation. © 2022 Science Press.

低繁殖量蚯蚓养殖法处理剩余污泥的可行性研究

针对城市剩余污泥饲养蚯蚓需要发酵预处理,以及繁殖的含重金属的蚯蚓利用难的问题,进行了不同种类污泥直接饲养蚯蚓实验,并考察了投料方式、投料厚度对蚯蚓的生长影响.结果显示,新鲜的城市剩余污泥直接饲养蚯蚓可行,与投料方式无关.发臭污泥块状投放适宜蚯蚓生长,密实投放不适宜蚯蚓生存.采用定时引出成蚓,改变泥中蚓卵的生存环境,控制卵发育的养殖方法,对污泥中重金属转移规律进行了研究.结果表明,饲养过程中蚯蚓体内的重金属质量比随饲养时间上升.饲养120 d左右,蚯蚓体内质量比达到极限,且处理后的污泥中重金属质量比明显下降.该养殖法处理剩余污泥是方法可行,且具有蚯蚓产量低,利于蚯蚓处理和处置的优点.     

Complex effects of habitat amount and fragmentation on functional connectivity and inbreeding in a giant panda population

The relationships between habitat amount and fragmentation level and functional connectivity and inbreeding remain unclear. Thus, we used genetic algorithms to optimize the transformation of habitat area and fragmentation variables into resistance surfaces to predict genetic structure and examined habitat area and fragmentation effects on inbreeding through a moving window and spatial autoregressive modeling approach. We applied these approaches to a wild giant panda population. The amount of habitat and its level of fragmentation had nonlinear effects on functional connectivity (gene flow) and inbreeding. Functional connectivity was highest when approximately 80% of the surrounding landscape was habitat. Although the relationship between habitat amount and inbreeding was also nonlinear, inbreeding increased as habitat increased until about 20% of the local landscape contained habitat, after which inbreeding decreased as habitat increased. Because habitat fragmentation also had nonlinear relationships with functional connectivity and inbreeding, we suggest these important responses cannot be effectively managed by minimizing or maximizing habitat or fragmentation. Our work offers insights for prioritization of protected areas.
