Problems solved by technology

The current method of finding seeds is to manually track seeds according to the marked plastic sheet method, but this method is time-consuming and laborious, and the seed loss rate is relatively high, which affects the accuracy of statistical analysis of experimental data

Embodiment 1

[0022] The experimental equipment provided by the present invention for the study of rodent and plant seed dispersal includes a plurality of electronic tags, which are arranged in the seeds in one-to-one correspondence, and the electronic tags are connected to the monitoring equipment with signals.

[0023] The electronic label is an RFID radio frequency label, and the monitoring device is a hand-held radio frequency detector.

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

[0025] Multiple monitoring devices for recording rodent behavior and seed tracks are also included.

Embodiment 2

[0027] An experimental method of experimental equipment for the study of rodent and plant seed dispersal, comprising the following steps:

[0028] Randomly select multiple sampling points in the research area as seed release points; any two seed release points are more than 20m apart, 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 the seeds with electronic tags in the survey area at the determined survey time;

[0031] Record the fate and diffusion distance of all seeds at each sampling point;

[0032] Repeat the experiment many times;

[0033] Combine seeds and data to draw corresponding experimental conclusions.

Embodiment 3

[0035] Randomly select 10 sample points in the study area as seed release points, any two seed release points are more than 20m apart, and the area of ​​a single seed release point is about 1.5m 2 ; Four kinds of Fagaceae plant seeds were tested separately; the same kind of plant seeds were put into 50 intact seeds in each sampling point. The survey time of seed dispersal is the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 10th, 17th, 27th, 50th, 160th (next spring) days after the release, and the survey area is about 30m in radius from the seed release point. The fate and dispersal distance of all seeds in the sample point, including the proportion of seeds retained, the proportion of seeds that were eaten in situ, the proportion of seeds that were eaten after being transported, the proportion of seeds that were buried, and the distance that the seeds were eaten or stored after being transported And the emergence rate of seeds after burial, etc., repeated the experiment many times. At the same time, comb...

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...
