摘要

濒临灭绝的北狐猴(Dasyurus hallucatus)雄性是半排卵动物,往往在第一个繁殖季节后死亡。造成这种情况的原因通常是繁殖成本过高:雄性在繁殖季节频繁旅行和交配,导致身体状况下降。在澳大利亚北部的整个分布区,雄性北冠鹦鹉繁殖后的年存活率在 0% 到 12.5% 之间。我们特别注意到,在皮尔巴拉矿区,雄性北鸊鷉(6 只中的 3 只)活到第二年的存活率为 50%。雄性存活率高的原因可能是该地区降雨量高于平均水平,以及雌性数量少导致繁殖机会减少--这可能是由大量不利的采矿地造成的。这可能降低了雄性动物与繁殖相关的荷尔蒙压力,并增加了资源可用性。考虑到北鸛种群的持续性高度依赖于繁殖成功率,如果雄性北鸛能在第二年再次繁殖,那么雄性北鸛的高存活率可能会在无意中稳定种群,不过这种情况尚未在皮尔巴拉地区观察到。尽管如此,雄性北冠鹦鹉的雌雄比例可能会随着环境和人口因素的变化而变化,这表明在不可预测的半干旱环境中,北冠鹦鹉种群可能具有抗干扰能力。

High post-sex survival of the world's largest semelparous mammal

High post-sex survival of the world's largest semelparous mammal

Males of the endangered northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus) are facultatively semelparous, often dying following their first breeding season. This is often driven by high breeding costs: males travel and mate extensively in breeding season, resulting in reduced body condition. Annual post-breeding survival rates for male northern quolls have been recorded between 0% and 12.5% across their range in northern Australia. We highlight an observed 50% survival rate of male northern quolls (3 of 6) living into their second year in a Pilbara mining landscape. High male survival here may be attributed to above average rainfall in the landscape and reduced breeding opportunities, due to low female abundance—likely driven by large amounts of unfavourable mining land. This likely led to lower hormonal stress associated with breeding for males, as well as increased resource availability. Given northern quoll population persistence is highly dependent on breeding success, high survival of male northern quolls may inadvertently stabilize populations if they can breed again in a second year, though this is yet to be observed in the Pilbara region. Nevertheless, semelparity of male northern quolls likely varies with environmental and demographic factors, demonstrating that northern quoll populations may be resilient to disturbance in an unpredictable semi-arid environment.

期刊介绍: Austral Ecology is the premier journal for basic and applied ecology in the Southern Hemisphere. As the official Journal of The Ecological Society of Australia (ESA), Austral Ecology addresses the commonality between ecosystems in Australia and many parts of southern Africa, South America, New Zealand and Oceania. For example many species in the unique biotas of these regions share common Gondwana ancestors. ESA''s aim is to publish innovative research to encourage the sharing of information and experiences that enrich the understanding of the ecology of the Southern Hemisphere. Austral Ecology involves an editorial board with representatives from Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil and Argentina. These representatives provide expert opinions, access to qualified reviewers and act as a focus for attracting a wide range of contributions from countries across the region. Austral Ecology publishes original papers describing experimental, observational or theoretical studies on terrestrial, marine or freshwater systems, which are considered without taxonomic bias. Special thematic issues are published regularly, including symposia on the ecology of estuaries and soft sediment habitats, freshwater systems and coral reef fish.
