  Visual and acoustic cues in birds have been well documented to play a role in species recognition between closely related bird species.Here, we aimed to test whether chemical cues also play a role in avian species recognition between 2 sympatric sibling species of waxwings, Bombycilla garrulus and Bombycilla japonica.Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, we characterized from uropygial gland secretions 38 compounds that were quantitatively divergent between species and exhibited sex differences within species.

在鱼类和两栖动物(成体)中存在一类较为原始的机械感受系统—侧线,在鱼类的摄食、集群、导航和通讯等行为中起着重要作用。侧线机械感受器的基本功能单位是神经丘,分为管道神经丘和表面神经丘。近期的研究结果表明,侧线机械感受器中的表面神经丘在帮助鱼体进行定位、定向等空间认知行为中起到了重要作用。暗纹东方鲀的管道神经丘全部表面化,此类表面化的神经丘是否也具有空间感知能力,正是本文所研究的课题。

硬骨鱼及两栖类幼体应激逃避的主要方式是快速逃跑行为,即C-start,而Mauthner 细胞(M细胞)则被认为是指导快速逃跑行为的指令性神经元.本研究发现,当暗纹东方鲀幼鱼和斑马鱼受到骤发的声音刺激(100 Hz,110 dB)时,其反应均为快速逃跑.暗纹东方鲀C-start行为的发生概率为23.9t%,较斑马鱼(73.33%)低;暗纹东方鲀快速逃跑反应的延迟时间为11.95土4.90 ms,而
褐菖鲉(Sebasticus marmoratus),是一种暖温性底层鱼类,它能够利用发声肌快速收缩使鱼鳔振动而产生声音。发声肌是一对附着于鱼鳔两侧的特殊肌肉,因能够快速收缩而被称为超快肌,其形态特征和物理特性均表现出肌肉快速收缩的适应性。最近有研究表明,小清蛋白(parvalbumin)对于发声肌的快速收缩也可能有重要作用,尤其对于发声脉冲间距较长的发声鱼类。

Objective The hippocampus implements its function of initial memory consolidation on the basis of neuronal synchrony.Thus, a possibility is raised with respect to the change in synchronized activity i
