环境污染导致青蛙变性 1/3蛙类面临灭绝
广州日报
如果所有青蛙都变成雌性,世界将变成什么样子?
本报综合报道 法国媒体2月28日报道称,环境污染对生态系统与动物性别的影响,如今在实验室有了最明显的证据。瑞典进行的一项新研究表明,雄性蝌蚪在类似自然界中含雌性激素的污染物环境下,最终会长成雌性青蛙。
据报道,瑞典乌普萨拉大学实验室的科研人员,模拟欧洲、美国与加拿大等国的工业污染环境,并将三组蝌蚪喂养在含雌性激素污染物的环境中,以研究青蛙性别的改变。
实验结果令人震惊:在实验前,三组蝌蚪中雌性的比例都被控制在50%——自然界中,这是一种正常比例。结果,在实验过程中,喂养在含不同剂量雌性激素污染物环境中的三组小蝌蚪,性别比例都发生了变化。
其中一组小蝌蚪生活在雌激素浓度最低的污染物
