| 中文摘要 | a total of 449 plateau pika (ochotona curzoniae hudgson) individuals were sampled with rattraps from 21 plots (size 1 ha) randomly scattered over the area of the species distribution at the altitude 3275-4807 in a.s.l. in the qinghai-tibetan plateau (west china). two main ectoparasite species hypoderma satyrus brauer and ixodes crenulatus neumann of plateau pika were surveyed, and the relations between host sex and parasitism were analyzed. the results were: (i) although not significantly, the infection rate of female young was close to zero and lower than that of male young (6%), while the infection rate of female sub-adults (19%) was contrarily - higher than that of male sub-adults (11%); adult females had significantly higher (41%) infection rate than that of males (18%) (p<0.001); (ii) the parasite infection rates for both males and females increased with increasing age, but female age-groups had obviously steeper slope. we suggested that the differences of body mass, growth rate and home range between males and females had mainly caused the sex-biased parasitism (sbp) of plateau pika at each age stage. also, due to the higher increases of body mass and maybe as well as of the home range differences between consecutive age-groups, the parasite infections of females became more sensitive to the influences of age than that of males. |
