概括
极端高温事件对土壤无脊椎动物的繁殖有负面影响. 长时间暴露于热量下降后代的生产和卵子的活力,特别是来自较冷环境的物种.
科学领域:
- 生态生态学 生态生态学
- 环境科学 环境科学
- 动物学 动物学
背景情况:
- 全球气温正在上升,极端高温事件的频率和强度正在增加.
- 生物的性能和繁殖成功可能会受到极端高温的影响.
- 对于热事件持续时间如何影响土壤无脊椎动物繁殖的理解有限.
研究的目的:
- 通过实验评估不同时间的极端高温对两种Collembola物种的繁殖特征的影响.
- 调查前养殖温度对土壤无脊椎动物热应激反应的作用.
- 为了确定暴露于热量是否会影响后代的生产和卵子的活力.
主要方法:
- 两种Collembola物种 (Folsomia candida和Proisotoma minuta) 在15°C或20°C的温度下养.
- 生物体被暴露在极端高温 (30°C-26°C) 中0,2,4或8天,然后恢复2天.
- 测量了繁殖特征,包括后代数量和卵子大小.
主要成果:
- 后代产量 (蛋和幼数量) 随着两种物种暴露在热量中的时间增加而下降.
- 来自更温暖环境的科伦博兰在暴露于热量的情况下,卵数量下降的幅度更大.

Energy Budgets
9.7K
Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species, like annual plants, have only one reproductive episode in their lifetimes and consequently have short lifespans. Iteroparous species, by contrast, have many reproductive events during their lifetimes but have relatively few offspring. These two...

Increased Body Temperature
2.3K
A body temperature above 38°C (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
6.7K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress
13.9K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.
