概括
温度的波动对鱼类的早期发育有很大影响,影响了生长和生存率. 恒温的热性能曲线不能准确地预测可变热状态下的结果.
科学领域:
- 环境科学
- 发育生物学
- 生态学
背景情况:
- 大多数关于鱼类发育温度影响的研究都使用恒定温度.
- 在自然水生环境中,温度的波动很常见.
- 热量波动对鱼类早期发育的影响尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 研究温度波动对杆菌早期发展的影响.
- 确定从恒定温度推导出的热性能曲线 (TPC) 是否可以预测发育对温度波动的反应.
- 评估发育热波动的持续表型和分子影响.
主要方法:
- 在恒定的平均温度 (26°C) 和不同程度的温度波动 (±0°C,±3°C,±5°C,±7°C) 下化了*Fundulus heteroclitus*的胚胎.
- 在化时测量了发育速度,存活率和形态特征 (长度,黄囊体积).
- 进行基因表达分析 (hsp70.2,热冲击反应,DNA甲基化).
- 在恒定的26°C中培养幼虫以评估持续作用.
主要成果:
- 与基于恒温TPC的预测相反,发育速度随着温度波动的增加而增加.
- 在最高波动 (26±7°C) 时,生存率显著下降.
- 来自较高波动模式的幼虫在化时具有更大的黄囊体积,这表明能量利用更有效.
- 升高的hsp70. 2mRNA水平表明在高波动下发生热应激.
- 在发育过程中暴露于26±7°C的子更大,并表现出与热冲击反应和DNA甲基化相关的基因表达变化.
结论:
- 在 *Fundulus heteroclitus* 中,胚胎发育对温度波动敏感,与恒温相比,导致不同的表型和分子结果.
- 基于恒温的TPC不足以预测在可变的热状态下的发育反应.
- 可变的热状态可以提高能量利用率,并诱导持续的分子变化,突出显示在生态毒理学和进化研究中需要现实的温度模拟.

2.6K
If the temperature of an object is changed while it is prevented from expanding or contracting, the object is subjected to stress. The stress is compressive if the object expands in the absence of constraint and tensile if it contracts. This stress resulting from temperature change is known as thermal stress. It can be quite large and can cause damage. To avoid this stress, engineers may design components so they can expand and contract freely. For instance, on highways, gaps are deliberately...

Heat and temperature are essential concepts for everyone every day. The study of heat and temperature is part of an area of physics known as thermodynamics. It is not always easy to distinguish heat and temperature.
The concept of temperature has evolved from the common concepts of hot and cold. The scientific definition of temperature explains more than just our sense of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined as the quantity measured with a thermometer. Furthermore, temperature is...

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is exposed to temperatures ranging from -15 °C to 40 °C. At its coldest, the main span of the bridge is 1275 m long. Assuming that the bridge is made entirely of steel, what is the change in its length between these temperatures?
To solve the problem, first, identify the known and unknown quantities. The initial length (L) of the bridge is 1275 m, the coefficient of linear expansion (α) for steel is 12 x 10-6/°C, and the change in...

The spontaneity of a process depends upon the temperature of the system. Phase transitions, for example, will proceed spontaneously in one direction or the other depending upon the temperature of the substance in question. Likewise, some chemical reactions can also exhibit temperature-dependent spontaneities. To illustrate this concept, the equation relating free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes for the process is considered:
