摘要

Encapsulated freshwater pond snail embryos display a cilia-driven rotation behaviour that is stimulated by artificially induced hypoxia. Previous studies have suggested that the mixing effect of this behaviour causes enhanced oxygen delivery to embryos within their egg capsules. Despite extensive laboratory-based studies describing this behaviour, it is unclear how this behaviour is used to cope with changes in oxygen concentration and other environmental factors in natural water bodies. We made field measurements of embryo rotation rates in laboratory-reared Helisoma trivolvis embryos placed in ponds of different trophic levels that ranged geographically from the southern Alberta prairie to the Rocky Mountains. Abiotic factors including temperature, pH, conductivity and water oxygen concentration were measured to understand how embryonic rotation is influenced by environmental conditions. Results showed that H. trivolvis embryos exhibit differences in rotational behaviour depending on the environmental conditions. Temperature and oxygen concentration were the primary factors significantly affecting rotation rates. The effect of oxygen concentration on rotation rates was not as widespread as observed under laboratory conditions, probably because the measured oxygen concentrations were above the range that influences embryonic rotation in the laboratory. The rotational behaviour of laboratory-reared Lymnaea stagnalis provided confirmation that embryos of other encapsulated pulmonates exhibit a similar rotational response in natural environments. These results suggest that embryo rotation is influenced by a complex interplay of environmental factors.
