Diversity Variation of Ground-dwelling Beetle(Insecta:Coleoptera) Communities in Jiaozi Mountain, Yunnan, China

对云南轿子雪山自然保护区地表甲虫物的种组成及生物多样性季节变化进行了连续跟踪调查.调查结果如下:(1)通过对4种典型微环境样地(草地、灌丛、林地以及农田生态系统)连续3次跟踪连续调查,共获得标本2451头,分别隶属于24科.其中步甲科(Carabidae)为优势类群,占总数的62.10%;隐翅虫科(Staphylinidae)其次,占12.77%.可能由于海拔、气温等因素影响,该地区昆虫活动高峰期较短.(2)通过对4种典型微生态环境中地表甲虫的生物多样性的比较,表明不同生境内甲虫的多样性指数存在动态变化,在不同生境片区内甲虫存在迁移活动,甲虫多在灌丛中越冬,并随季节及食物源迁移.

长白山北坡水甲虫群落多样性及其与环境关系

长白山区生物多样性丰富，河流生态系统具有代表性，但近年由于人为干扰加剧，水域面积减少，森林植被遭到破坏。本文以长白山北坡河流生态系统为研究对象，调查了水甲虫群落、河岸带植被和水质等环境因子状况，运用多种数学分析方法和统计模型，分析了长白山北坡水甲虫群落多样性和环境因子的格局变化，重点研究了环境因子对水甲虫的影响，探讨了水甲虫对河流生态系统健康的指示作用，以此为该区的生态环境保护、林业的持续发展提供一些基础信息。 通过本论文的相关研究，得出以下主要结论： （1）在长白山北坡共鉴定水甲虫8科，37属，71种，其中龙虱科占属总数的55﹪，水龟虫科占属总数的23﹪。 （2）对环境因子进行主成分分析，结果表明水酸碱度、海拔高度、底泥有机质和全磷含量、电导率是主导环境因子。用典范对应分析及多元回归分析对水甲虫与环境因子的数量关系进行研究，结果显示水甲虫丰富度指数、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数与底泥全磷含量、海拔、水电导率皆为正相关，与水pH值显著负相关。 （3）应用逐步回归、典范对应分析方法研究了植物群落对水甲虫群落的影响，发现长白山森林植物群落对水甲虫群落的组成、结构和多样性具有显著的生态效应，主要表现在植物群落及其各个层次的组成和多样性分别与水甲虫群落的组成、多样性和虫口数量变化具有显著的关联性。 （4）以水甲虫群落作为指示物评价河流生态系统健康和借助层次分析法综合评价河流生态系统健康的实践表明，两种方法都能很好地反映不同干扰造成的生态系统健康程度的变化。

化感物质鉴定及其在土壤中的活性—以三裂叶豚草、水稻为例

化感物质鉴定及其活性研究是化感作用研究的核心问题。本研究以三裂叶豚草和化感水稻为例，在鉴定化感物质结构的基础上，深入探讨化感物质的生物活性，尤其是重点研究了化感物质与土壤生物因子的化学作用。 研究结果表明： (1) 三裂叶豚草能通过产生和释放挥发性化感物质到环境中抑制小麦等作物的萌发生长，而对稗草则显示出促进效应，并证实其挥发物可经土壤载体对其他植物及微生物显示化感效应。其挥发油对受试病原菌表现出不同程度的抑菌活性。顶空采样分析显示，三种单萜类物质berneol、alcanfor和 berneol acetate是三裂叶豚草周围空气中的主要化感物质。采用GC-MS结合滞留指数对三裂叶豚草挥发油进行了定性分析，在鉴定出的35个组分中，单萜类及其衍生物占总量的84.2%。 (2) 从三裂叶豚草发生地毒性土壤中分离鉴定出两种胡萝卜烷型倍半萜1α-angeloyloxycarotol和1α-(2-methylbutyroyloxy)-carotol，并检测出两种物质在毒性土壤中的浓度范围已超过其对小麦的抑制临界浓度(11.5µg/g和16.5µg/g)，进而推测两个萜类物质是三裂叶豚草干扰小麦生长的主要化感物质。 (3) 发现化感水稻组织含有尿囊素后，又从3个水稻化感品种和8个非化感品种的组织和培养基质中均检出尿囊素，证实尿囊素与水稻化感特性无相关性；水稻根分泌的尿囊素对稗草和稻田可培养微生物具有促生效应，而灭菌土壤中尿囊素半衰期(20.2 h, r2=0.95)超过非灭菌土壤(7.3 h, r2=0.92)3倍，表明土壤尿囊素中降解和转化速率较快，上述结果暗示尿囊素是参与水稻和其它生物间化学相互作用的一种促生物质。 (4) DGGE分析表明尿囊素能显著提高土壤细菌的丰富度和多样性指数；通过比较PLFA指纹图谱，一方面，尿囊素不但能显著增加PLFA总量，而且还能显著改变微生物的群落结构；主成分分析显示，在淹育和非淹育条件下，第一和第二主成分分别揭示了总方差的67.8%和55.3%。另一方面，添加黄酮甙和根分泌物均能显著改变土壤微生物的群落结构，第一和第二主成分累积方差变异之和占总变异的59.1%，并且化感品种根分泌物与黄酮甙处理的土壤样品呈正相关关系；而化感水稻根分泌物中化感物质含量与非化感水稻差异显著，暗示化感物质在影响微生物群落结构上的重要性。

从空间、时间、食物3个方面研究了若尔盖湿地3种两栖类的种间竞争，运用生态位理论探讨了3种两栖类利用环境资源的能力以及它们之间的共存模式，研究了3种两栖类年周期食性，并考察了畜牧业对3种两栖类食性及食物竞争格局的影响；此外，还通过实验室研究对2种两栖类幼体的种间竞争策略进行了考察。主要结果如下： 1、两栖类的空间资源利用状况：在3种两栖类成体生态位宽度的比较中，岷山蟾蜍（Bufo minshanicus）成体在牧场性质(0.41)、牛粪数量(0.42)、植被盖度(0.20)、地表温度(0.50)、地表湿度(0.51) 5个维度上的生态位宽度最窄；而倭蛙（Nanorana pleskei）成体在牛粪数量(0.81)、植被高度(0.63)、植被盖度(0.47)、小水体距离(0.68) 4个维度上的生态位宽度最宽。在3种两栖类亚成体生态位宽度的比较中，岷山蟾蜍亚成体在牧场性质(0.66)、牛粪数量(0.58)、植被高度(0.64)、小水体距离(0.51)、地表湿度(0.79) 5个维度的上生态位宽度最宽；倭蛙亚成体在牧场性质(0.39)、牛粪数量(0.30)、地表温度(0.18)、地表湿度(0.33) 4个维度上的生态位宽度最窄。高原林蛙（Rana kukunoris）在地表温度（成体：0.62；亚成体：0.56）、地表湿度（成体：0.84；亚成体：0.60）两个维度上具有较大的生态位宽度值，而在小水体距离维度上（成体：0.27；亚成体：0.14）的生态位宽度值则很小。比较3种无尾两栖类在不同生长阶段（成体、亚成体）的生态位宽度，发现高原林蛙和倭蛙的亚成体对栖息环境的要求更高。3种两栖类空间资源利用的相似程度很高，高原林蛙与倭蛙之间的生态重叠度(0.87)较之它与岷山蟾蜍(0.81)的生态位重叠度更大。 2、两栖类的日活动节律：高原林蛙成体、亚成体、岷山蟾蜍亚成体活动的最低气温为0℃、2℃、8℃；岷山蟾蜍和高原林蛙亚成体出现的数量与气温成极显著的正相关（r=0.797, p<0.001；r=0.794, p<0.001），高原林蛙成体出现的数量与气温有一定相关性（r=0.456, p<0.05）；晴天时两栖类的活动性明显高于阴天（p<0.001）；多云转晴天气，高原林蛙和岷山蟾蜍亚成体出现两次日活动高峰，分别为中午12:30左右和下午15:30～16:30之间；多云天气，高原林蛙和岷山蟾蜍亚成体出现两次日活动高峰，分别为9:30～10:30之间和15:30～16:30之间。 3、两栖类的食物资源利用状况：春、秋两季，高原林蛙最主要的食物是蜉金龟科(Aphodiidae)昆虫，相对重要性指数(IRI)最高（春季：35.28%，秋季：28.57%），其次为昆虫的幼虫，以及双翅目的毛蚊科(Bibionidae)、蝇科(Muscidae)、丽蝇科(Calliphoridae)昆虫，秋季，蝗虫是高原林蛙食物组成中的重要部分；岷山蟾蜍最主要的食物是蚂蚁(IRI，春季：85.54%，秋季：49.70%)，其次为蜉金龟科、象甲科(Curculionidae)、步甲科(Carabidae)、粪金龟科(Geotrupidae) 等鞘翅目昆虫；倭蛙春季的最主要食物也是蜉金龟科昆虫(IRI，春季：13.41%)，其次为蚂蚁、毛蚊科昆虫、昆虫的幼虫以及狼蛛科(Lycosidae)。3种两栖类中，倭蛙的食性生态位宽度相对较宽（0.43），而岷山蟾蜍（0.09）和高原林蛙（0.22）的生态位宽度较窄，与春季相比，两栖类在秋季的食谱更宽。以利用食物种类为标准，春季高原林蛙与倭蛙的生态位重叠度(0.40)比它与岷山蟾蜍的生态位重叠度（0.33）更大。 4、畜牧业对两栖类食性及食物竞争格局的影响：以藏牦牛粪为食物或寄居场所的昆虫，如蜉金龟科、粪金龟科、毛蚊科、蝇科、丽蝇科昆虫和某些昆虫幼虫，是3种两栖类食物谱中最主要的组成部分，蜉金龟科昆虫在高原林蛙食谱中的比例更高，高原林蛙可能从畜牧业发展中获得更多的好处，使之在食物竞争方面处于优势地位。与无放牧样地相比，在有放牧样地的中，两栖类食谱中的蜉金龟科昆虫数量更多(有放牧：31.94%；无放牧：21.32%)、出现频率更高(有放牧：76.38%；无放牧：44%)。然而在不同样地上（有放牧/无放牧），两栖类的食物组成无显著性差异(P=0.188)，两栖类的数量(P=0.075)、肥满度(P=0.537)均没有显著差别。 5、两栖类幼体的竞争策略：实验室条件下，通过活动性水平，变态时的体重、增长率和完成变态所需时间考察自然条件下常同水塘分布的中华蟾蜍（Bufo gargarizans）和高原林蛙蝌蚪的竞争策略。结果表明：中华蟾蜍蝌蚪在不同食物资源条件下，所选择的生存策略可能不同，即食物资源充足时，增加活动性获取更多食物，食物资源有限时，降低活动性且提前完成变态；与中华蟾蜍蝌蚪相比，在食物资源有限时高原林蛙蝌蚪获取食物能力可能更强。 This paper presented the study of competition of three amphibians (Rana kukunoris, Nanorana pleskei, Bufo minshanicus) based on spatial, temporal and dietary scales in Zoige wetland. We measured coexistence patterns of three amphibians and analyzed their ability of exploiting resource. Effects of grazing on the diet composition and diet competition of amphibians were analyzed by their diet composition during spring and autumn. Furthermore, we examined the competitive ability of larval common frogs (Rana kukunoris)and common toads(Bufo gargarizans) in a laboratory experiment, and analyzed their competitive strategies respectively. The results were as follows: 1 .The status of using spatial resource Niche breadths of B. minshanicus adults on 5 dimensional axes including character of pasture(0.41), number of yaks dung(0.42), vegetation coverage(0.20), temperature (0.50)and humidity(0.51) of ground surface were narrower than adults of R. kukunoris and N. pleskei. Niche breadths of B. minshanicus subadults were broader than R.kukunoris subadults and N.pleskei subadults on 5 dimensional axes including character of pasture (0.66), number of yaks dung (0.58), vegetation height (0.64), distance to small waterbodies (0.51), humidity of ground surface (0.79). Niche breadths of N. pleskei subadults were the narrowest in three anurans subadults on 4 dimensional axes including character of pasture (0.39), number of yaks dung (0.30), temperature (0.18) and humidity (0.33) of ground surface, niche breadths of N. pleskei adults were the broadest in three anurans adults on 4 dimensional axes including number of yaks dung (0.81), vegetation height (0.63) and coverage(0.47), distance to small waterbodies(0.68).Comparatively, niche breadths of R. kukunoris were broader on the two microclimate factors including temperature(adults：0.62；subadults：0.56) and humidity (adults：0.84；subadults：0.60)of ground surface, but was narrow on distance to small waterbodies(adults：0.27；subadults：0.14). Strategies for using habitat resource of adults and subadults of the three species anuran were different. Generally, subadults of R. kukunoris and N. pleskei needs better habitat condition. It was quite similar that three anurans exploited spatial resource, Niche overlap between R. kukunoris and N. pleskei (0.87) was greater than that between R. kukunoris and B.minshanicus(0.81). 2.Daily activity rhythm R. kukunoris audlts were active when air temperatures were as low as 0℃, R. kukunoris subadults were active at 2℃, B.minshanicus subaudlts were active at 8℃. Positive correlation was found between activities of amphibians and air temperature, Subadults of R.kukunoris, (r=0.797, p<0.001), Subadults,of,B.minshanicus, (r=0.794, p<0.001), andbadults,of,R.kukunoris(r=0.456, p<0.05).Amphibians were more active during sunny days than cloudy days. In cloudy turning into sunny, R. kukunoris and B.minshanicus subadults had two active peak: at noon about 12:30 and 15:30～16:30 pm; in cloudy, R. kukunoris and B.minshanicus subadult had two active peak too : 9:30～10:30am,15:30～16:30pm. 3.Diet analysis Aphodiidae was the most commonly consumed food item by R. kukunoris based on index of relative importance (IRI) during spring (35.28%) and autumn (28.57%) in Zogie wetland. Besides Aphodiidae, larval insect, dipterans such as Bibionidae, Muscidae, Calliphoridae also were important food item for R. kukunoris, in autumn, locust was one of important food item for R. kukunoris. The most important food item for B.minshanicus during spring (IRI:85.54%) and autumn (IRI:49.70%) was ants, following, was coleopterans, such as Aphodiidae, dung beetle. Aphodiidae (IRI:13.41%) were the most important consumed food item by N. pleskei during spring too, following, was ants and Bibionidae. Dietary breadth of N. pleskei (0.43) were greater than R. kukunoris (0.22) and B. minshanicus (0.09). As a whole, Dietary breadth of amphibians during aurumn were greater than spring. Based on prey item, dietary overlap between R. kukunoris and N. pleskei (0.40) was greater than that between R. kukunoris and B.minshanicus (0.33) during spring. 4.Effects of grazing on the diet composition and diet competition of amphibians Amphibians are an important part of the pasture ecosystems as prey and predator. In Zogie wetland, major diet of amphibians was closely associated with dung of yaks, for example, Aphodiidae, Bibionidae, Muscidae, dung beetle. Dung of yaks was major diet and habitat of these insects. Proportion of Aphodiidae was higher in diet composition of R. kukunoris than N. pleskei and B.minshanicus, with development of pasturage, R. kukunoris may have a diet competitive advantage over N. pleskei and B.minshanicus. Number of Aphodiidae in diet composition of amphibians was higher in samples with grazing (31.94%) than in those without grazing (21.32%). Occurrence Frequency of Aphodiidae in diet composition of amphibians was higher in samples with grazing (76.38%) than in those without grazing (44%). However, There was not significantly different on diet composition (P=0.188), and number (P=0.075) and the relative fatness (P=0.537) of amphibians between grazing samples and without grazing. 5.Competitive strategies of amphibian larvae I examined the competitive ability of larval toads (Bufo gargarizans) and frogs (Rana kukunoris) which co-occur in the nature pond by activity level, the growth rate and mass at metamorphosis and larval period in a laboratory experiment. The results suggest: In laborary, B.gargarizans adapted himself to different food level by changing activity. At high food level, B. gargarizans increased activity to gain more diet. At low food level, B. gargarizans decreased activity and achieved early metamorphosis. When food resource was limit, R. kukunoris could gain more food than B. gargarizans.
