  Selection of an appropriate habitat with necessary and exploitable resources is one of the main tasks for any living organism.If an organism succeeds in fulfilling this task,its reward is translated into an increase or,at least,no decrease of its fitness.The evolutionary motivation of parasites does not differ from that of free-living organisms.Parasites have to carefully select their host organisms at both evolutionary and ecological scales.An individual parasite has to be able to locate and identify an individual of an appropriate host species,sex and age and to distinguish it from individuals of often similar but less appropriate or even inappropriate cohorts.Here,we report the results of investigation of the ability of fleas (Siphonaptera) to distinguish between hosts of different rodent species,genders or age categories presumably using odour cues.We will demonstrate that the ability to distinguish and to select an appropriate host individual results in fitness rewards.

1,10-菲咯啉及其衍生物是一类重要的二齿氮配体,它的母体结构是由三个六元环组成的共轭芳香环体系,其中1位和10位为电子密度较高的氮原子,因此可以和金属离子形成稳定的配位键。这些配合物在离子检测、光电材料、传感器、催化剂、生物医药等领域有着广泛的用途。因此,对1,10-菲咯啉结构进行修饰,设计合成出结构新颖、物理化学性能优异的衍生物具有十分重要的意义。本论文在课题组的前期工作基础上,设计合成了一类
