The significance of plasticity in energy metabolism and behavioral patterns in response to variations of food availability was examined in adult male Eothenomys miletus acclimated to random food deprivation (FD) for 4 weeks, in which animals were fed ad libitum for a randomly assigned 3 days each week.Body mass, food intake, basal metabolic rate (BMR), nonshivering thermogenesis (NST) and serum leptin levels were measured.Behavioral observations were made to examine behavioral patterns including activity, feeding, grooming and resting behavior.

为阐明动物应对低温和食物短缺的能量学对策，本研究测定了冷驯化(5℃)和限食(正常摄食量的80％)条件下大绒鼠的存活率、体重、体脂含量、血清瘦素浓度、基础代谢率、非颤抖性产热、内脏器官和消化道形态.结果发现，低温限食使大绒鼠体重、体脂含量、血清瘦素浓度、褐色脂肪组织重量和消化道干重降低，基础代谢率和非颤抖性产热升高.低温限食驯化4周后大绒鼠的存活率为18.18％，血清瘦素浓度与体重和体脂含量显著正相
为探讨横断山区大绒鼠应对食物短缺的消化道形态和内脏器官的变化,将成年大绒鼠按自由取食量的100％、90％、80％和70％限食4周,测量了不同限食程度下大绒鼠的体重、消化道长度和重量以及内脏器官重量。结果发现,90％限食组大绒鼠体重、消化道形态和内脏器官重量相对于对照组差异不显著；80％和70％限食组体重、肝脏重量、褐色脂肪组织重量、小肠长度和重量以及大肠长度和重量显著降低,然而值得注意的是,80％
斑海豹(Phoca largha)为季节性繁殖的鳍足类动物，水中交配，冰上产崽，分布于北太平洋沿岸及相邻水域。斑海豹在世界上共有八个繁殖区，我国渤海辽东湾繁殖区是斑海豹八大繁殖区中最南端的一个。辽东湾繁殖区历史上分布斑海豹数量高达8000余头，受人类活动影响，目前仅剩2000头左右。繁殖内分泌学是物种保护研究的一个重要领域，然而对斑海豹来说，该领域尚属空白。

以南方鲇胚胎和仔鱼为实验对象,采用水体染毒法研究了镉暴露对南方鲇胚胎死亡率、孵化率、孵化历时、初孵仔鱼死亡率、畸形率的影响以及将孵化出的仔鱼转入净水后心率、存活率、畸形率的变化；以胚胎期未染毒的卵黄囊期仔鱼和10日龄仔鱼进行了急性镉暴露实验,研究了南方鲇仔鱼对镉污染的耐受程度.胚胎期实验设置一个对照组和5个镉处理组(8 mg/L,16 mg/L,32 mg/L,64 mg/L,128 mg/L),
