摘要

昆虫可以根据觅食、择偶和选择产卵地点等多种情况下的经验调整自己的行为。在这里，我们研究了掩埋甲虫（Nicrophorus vespilloides）是否会根据它们过去的繁殖经验来调整它们对腐肉类型的选择。甲虫亲代会将这些腐肉转化为可食用的幼虫苗圃，它们通常会照顾幼虫的整个发育过程。我们测试了甲虫过去的繁殖经历是否会影响其随后对腐肉的选择，当同时出现一只死老鼠或一只死雏鸡时。我们发现，在第一次繁殖尝试中以老鼠为食并产下大量幼虫的甲虫，在第二次繁殖尝试中会选择老鼠而不是雏鸡。在死老鼠身上产下较少幼虫的甲虫在第二次繁殖时转而喜欢死小鸡。我们的总体结论是，掩埋甲虫在选择腐肉进行繁殖时，可以将有关其过去繁殖经验的不同信息来源与当前线索结合起来。

期刊介绍： Ecological Entomology publishes top-quality original research on the ecology of insects and related invertebrate taxa. Our aim is to publish papers that will be of considerable interest to the wide community of ecologists who are motivated by ecological or evolutionary theory. The suitability of a manuscript will usually be assessed within 5 days. We publish full-length Original Articles as well as Reviews, Short Communications, Methods and Natural History papers. In Original Articles, we greatly prefer papers that test specific hypotheses and which have a high degree of novelty. All categories aim for innovative contributions that advance the subject of ecological entomology.
