In nature,bees with damaged tongues are adapted to have a feat in collecting nectariferous sources in a large spectrum of concentrations (19%-69%) or viscosities (10-3 Pa·s to 10-1 Pa·s);however,effects of nectar property on compensated dip-ping behavior remain elusive.Combining the bee tongue anatomy,high-speed videography,and mathematical models,we investigate responses of honey bees with damaged tongues to fluidic sources in various properties.We find that,bees with 80% damaged tongues are deprived of feeding capability and remarkably,the dipping frequency increases from 4.24 Hz to 5.08 Hz while ingesting 25% sugar water when the tongue loses 0-30% in length,while declines from 5.08 to 3.86 Hz in case of 30% damaged tongue when sucrose concentration increases from 25% to 45%.We employ the energetic compensation rate and energetic utilization rate to evaluate effectiveness of the compensation from the perspective of energetic regulation.The mathematical model indicates that the energetic compensation rate turns higher in bees with less damaged tongues for ingesting dilute sugar water,demonstrating its capability of functional compensation for combined factors.Also,the tongue-damaged bees achieve the highest energetic utilization rate when ingesting ~ 30% sugar water.Beyond biology,the findings may shed lights on biomimetic materials and technologies that aim to compensate for geometrical degradations without regeneration.

制备了CuS负载的Pt纳米花(CuS-Pt)并研究了金属离子对其类过氧化物酶活性的影响.CuS-Pt纳米花能高效地催化H2O2氧化3,3′,5,5′-四甲基联苯胺(TMB)使反应溶液由无色变为深蓝色,在652 nm处产生一个明显的吸收峰.研究发现,众多金属离子中只有Ag+能够有效抑制CuS-Pt纳米花的类酶催化活性,从而使溶液颜色变浅并在652 nm处产生减色效应.在一定浓度范围内,这种抑制作用与Ag+浓度呈现良好的线性关系.基于该原理构建了一种检测Ag+含量的比色分析新方法,检测线性范围为200~600
