Data for: Feeding frequency does not interact with BPA exposure to influence metabolism of behaviour in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
收藏资源简介:
Resource limitation can constrain energy (ATP) production, and thereby affect locomotion and behaviour such as exploration of novel environments and boldness. Consequently, ecological processes such as dispersal and interactions within and between species may be influenced by food availability. Energy metabolism, and behaviour are regulated by endocrine signaling, and may therefore be impacted by endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as bisphenol A (BPA) derived from plastic manufacture and pollution. It is important to determine the impacts of these novel environmental contexts to understand how human activity alters individual physiology and behaviour and thereby populations. Our aim was to determine whether BPA exposure interacts with feeding frequency to alter metabolism and behaviour. In a fully factorial experiment, we show that low feeding frequency reduced zebrafish (Danio rerio) mass, condition, resting metabolic rates, total distance moved and speed in a novel arena, as w...
资源限制会抑制能量(三磷酸腺苷,ATP)的产生,进而影响运动能力与行为表现,包括对新环境的探索行为与冒险倾向。因此,食物可获得性可能会对扩散、种内及种间互动等生态过程产生影响。能量代谢与行为均受内分泌信号通路调控,因此可能会受到塑料制造与污染过程中产生的内分泌干扰物(endocrine disrupting compounds,EDCs)——例如双酚A(bisphenol A,BPA)——的干扰。明确这类新型环境情境的影响,对于理解人类活动如何改变个体生理与行为、进而影响种群动态至关重要。本研究旨在探究双酚A暴露与摄食频率是否会通过交互作用改变生物体的代谢与行为。在一项完全因子设计实验中,我们发现低摄食频率会降低斑马鱼(Danio rerio)的体重、肥满度、静息代谢率,以及在新奇环境测试装置中的总移动距离与移动速度,原文此处未完整展示后续内容。
