Example Embodiment

[0021] Example 1

[0022] The invention provides an experimental device for research on the spread of rodents and plant seeds, which includes a plurality of electronic tags which are arranged in the seeds in a one-to-one correspondence, and the electronic tags are signally connected to the monitoring device.

[0023] The electronic label is an RFID radio frequency label, and the monitoring equipment is a handheld radio frequency detector.

[0024] The electronic tag is set in the cotyledon part of the seed.

[0025] It also includes multiple monitoring devices for recording rodent behavior and seed trails.

Example Embodiment

[0026] Example 2

[0027] An experimental method of experimental equipment for research on the spread of rodents and plant seeds, including the following steps:

[0028] Randomly select multiple sample points in the study area as seed release points; any two seed release points are separated by more than 20m, and the area of ​​a single seed release point is 1.5m 2 , Put at least one Fagaceae plant seed in each sample point, and the same plant seed should contain multiple intact seeds with electronic tags;

[0029] Determine the survey time and survey area for seed dispersal;

[0030] Use monitoring equipment to track seeds with electronic tags in the survey area at the determined survey time;

[0031] Record the fate and spread distance of all seeds at each sample point;

[0032] Repeat the experiment many times;

[0033] Combining seeds and data, draw corresponding experimental conclusions.

Example Embodiment

[0034] Example 3

[0035] Randomly select 10 sample points in the study area as seed release points, any two seed release points are separated by more than 20m, and the area of ​​a single seed release point is about 1.5m 2 ; 4 kinds of Fagaceae plant seeds were tested separately; the same plant seeds were put into 50 intact seeds at each spot. The investigation time for seed dispersal is the 1, 3, 5, 10, 17, 27, 50, 160 (the following spring) day after release. The survey area is about 30m radius from the seed release point, and each is recorded during the survey. The fate and spread distance of all seeds at the sample site, including the proportion of seeds remaining, the proportion of seeds being eaten in situ, the proportion of seeds being eaten after being transported, the proportion of seeds being buried, and the distance of feeding or storing seeds after being transported As well as the emergence rate of seeds after burial, the experiment was repeated many times. At the sa...

Abstract

The invention discloses experimental device and method for researching mouse and plant seed diffusion, and belongs to the technical field of seed diffusion. The experimental device comprises a plurality of electronic tags, the plurality of electronic tags is arranged in seeds in a one-to-one correspondence manner, the electronic tags are in signal connection with a monitoring device, the electronic tags are RFID radio frequency tag tags, and the monitoring device is a handheld radio frequency detector. The invention also provides a method for carrying out an experiment by adopting the experiment equipment. According to the experimental device and the experimental method, scattered seeds can be accurately and quickly found, the seed recovery rate is increased, and meanwhile, behavior characteristics of different mice and different treatment conditions of the seeds can be known in detail.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of seed dispersal, in particular to an experimental device and an experimental method for research on rodent and plant seed dispersal. Background technique [0002] Rodent feeding on dispersing seeds is considered to be a key stage of plant seed survival and renewal, and rodents play a very important role in this process (Vander Wall, 1990; Nathan and Muller-Landan, 2000; Vander Wall and Beck, 2012) . During the process of seed dispersal, rodents usually feed on plant seeds and fruits, transport them to places far away from the mother tree for storage, and store the seeds in the leaf litter, soil surface or caves, etc., for hibernation, lactation, Stockpile food during special periods such as food shortages. Although rodents will eventually eat most of the seeds or fruits, there are still a small number of seeds or fruits that are scattered and stored. After escaped from predation, they may germinate in an...
