Megjegyzések:	Natural environments tend to be variable resulting in alternating periods of high and low food availability. Therefore, animals have to be able to accommodate to sudden environmental changes by adjusting their physiology and behaviour to new conditions. We investigated how simulated food variability affects life history traits (asexual reproduction and stress tolerance) and response to environmental change in laboratory experiments with green hydra (Hydra viridissima). We assigned hydra into four groups differing in feeding frequency (high or low) and food regularity (random or stable). After 21 days of accommodation, feeding frequency was changed (increased or decreased) in half of each group, the other half was kept as a control group. Hydra showed a delayed response to environmental change (increased or decreased feeding frequency). This delay in response was greater under an unpredictable feeding scheme. Animals on a random scheme had lower budding rates and lower stress tolerance. Follow-up experiments suggest that this might be due to receiving food on subsequent days, since we found that animals fed daily have lower budding rates than those fed on alternate days. We hypothesize that frequent feeding might cause high levels of oxidative/xenobiotic stress which could overwhelm the defence system of these animals.

Cím:	Life history trade-offs and stress tolerance in green hydra (Hydra viridissima Pallas 1766): the importance of nutritional status and perceived population density / Jácint Tökölyi, Márta E. Rosa, Flóra Bradács, Zoltán Barta

Megjegyzések:	Clonally reproducing animals, such as fresh-water hydra, can achieve very quick population growth,potentially resulting in high density when dispersal islimited. The reproductive value of any offspring pro-duced clonally in such a high density population is lowbecause of the strong competition for food. Therefore,animals experiencing such conditions should allocatetheir resources to self-maintenance, to increase survivalchances. Increased allocation to self-maintenance in turnshould enable animals to withstand higher levels ofgenotoxic stress. To test this prediction, we exposedgreen hydra (Hydra viridissimaPallas 1766) to a per-ceived high density (by keeping them in crowded culturemedium) or low density (fresh culture medium) withoutaltering food availability. We also manipulated nutri-tional status (by starving animals for different timeperiods) and previous exposure to mild stress in a fullfactorial experimental design. At the end of the experi-ment we exposed animals to a high concentration ofhydrogen-peroxide and scored stress tolerance. Wefound that stress tolerance is greatly elevated in animalsperceiving high density, confirming our prediction. Stresstolerance decreased in animals starved for a few days,suggesting that the ability to maintain an elevated stresstolerance function has nutritional costs and is possibleonly when resource availability is high. On the otherhand, previous exposure to mild stress had a small effecton the ability to tolerate subsequent exposure to stress,and only in the low density treatment group. Thus, stresstolerance in hydra is dynamically modulated in respons to social, environmental and nutritional cues.
