    摘要:

    采用胃容物分析法研究年龄和性别因素对奇台沙蜥(Phrynocephalus grumgrzimailoi)食性的影响。共解剖220号浸制标本,取出整胃分离胃容物,鉴别胃容物中的食物种类,统计各种食物组分的数量频率、重量比例、出现频率和相对重要性指数(index of relative importance,IRI)。结果表明,奇台沙蜥的食物大多数是节肢动物,还有少量植物组织;幼体摄入的食物中IRI最高的为体型较小的蚁科物种(雌性幼体:95.91;雄性幼体:69.04),而成体摄入的食物中以鞘翅目昆虫IRI最高(雌性成体:35.49;雄性成体:32.58);雌性成体、雄性成体、雌性幼体和雄性幼体的食物生态位宽度分别为2.15、2.40、1.21和1.47,两性幼体间食物生态位重叠度最大,雄性成体与幼体间食物生态位重叠度最小;雄性成体的头长和头宽显著大于雌性成体,而其食物的最大体积和最大宽度也显著大于雌性成体的食物。奇台沙蜥的食性在个体生长发育过程中发生明显变化,两性的头部异形导致两性个体所食食物的大小差异,有利于减小种内竞争。

    Abstract:

    We checked the contents of 220 stomachs of specimens to assess effects of age and sex on diet composition of lizard Phrynocephalus grumgrzimailoi.We weighed each stomach,identified content component,counted individuals of each food item and weighed them,then calculated the index of relative importance (IRI) based on frequency of each food item appeared,percent of each mass weight,frequency of occurrence.We found out those stomachs contain large volume of arthropod and few vegetal items.Formicidae was the most important prey item of juveniles (female: IRI=95.91; male: IRI=69.04),while Coleoptera was the most important part in the diet composition of adults (female: IRI=35.49; male: IRI=32.58).Food niche breadth of adult female,adult male,juvenile female and juvenile male was 2.15,2.40,1.21 and 1.47,respectively.The food niche overlap between male and female juveniles was highest,whereas it was lowest between adult and juvenile male.The head of adult males was longer and wider comparing with adult female,and the food items of adult male were also with large volume than adult female.The lizard prey on different food items at different ontogeny stage.The phenomenon of adults of male and female fed on different size of prey might induced by sexual dimorphism in the head size and it could reduce the intraspecific competition.
