地下啮齿动物的生存环境及对代谢的影响

Survival environment of the subterranean rodents and its effect on metabolism

地下啮齿类动物常年生活在黑暗、低氧、高二氧化碳、高湿度的地下洞道内,洞道内环境的独特性不仅影响它们的行为和生活方式而且还能够影响它们的新陈代谢。文章结合前人研究结果,系统地综述了地下啮齿动物的洞道环境以及其对代谢的影响。

Subterranean rodents perennially live in the underground tunnels with darkness, hypoxia, high carbon dioxide and high humidity, while the environmental uniqueness in the tunnels not only affects their behavior and life style but also can affect their metabolism. This paper systematically reviews the tunnel environment of subterranean rodents and its effect on metabolism combining the research results of predeces-
