概括
宿主植物的转移可以推动昆虫的物种化. 鱼雄性需要性激素和宿主水果线索 (kairomones) 来找到伴侣,将化学生态与生殖隔离联系起来.
科学领域:
- 化学生态化学生态学
- 进化生物学是进化的生物学.
- 昆虫的行为昆虫的行为
背景情况:
- 昆虫中的宿主植物转移可以导致物种化,即使没有地理隔离.
- 改变行为的化学物质,如费洛蒙和凯洛蒙,在昆虫的性交流和宿主选择中起着至关重要的作用.
- 伴侣信号和息地线索如何相互作用以促进生殖隔离的基础上的感官机制在很大程度上是未知的.
研究的目的:
- 研究宿主水果挥发性化学物质 (kairomones) 在鱼中调解性沟通和宿主选择中的作用.
- 阐明嗅觉线索影响昆虫寻找伴侣行为和繁殖隔离的感觉机制.
主要方法:
- 进行了行为测试,以测试雄性对合成性激素 (codlemone) 和 kairomones (梨) 的反应.
- 实验包括在不同的环境 (宿主与非宿主环境) 中向提供单独的费洛蒙,单独的凯洛蒙和两者的组合.
主要成果:
- 雄性 codling 对雌性性激素 codlemone 的吸引力在很大程度上取决于梨的存在,梨是一种来自宿主水果的 kairomone.
- 在非宿主环境 (白树) 中,仅仅对费洛蒙的吸引力大大减少,但与kairomone结合时完全恢复.
- 这表明性信号和息地线索在调解寻找伴侣的行为之间存在关键的相互作用.
结论:
- 对性激素的嗅觉反应是由宿主植物的挥发性线索调节的,提供了生态物种化的机制.
- 宿主植物的转变可以导致新的伴侣寻找信号的进化,促进分类交配和生殖隔离.
- 这项研究强调了性信号和息地线索的整合是草食昆虫多样化的关键驱动因素.

Yeast Signaling
14.3K
Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...

Communication
7.7K
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

Mate Choice

Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.
