大猿叶虫夏滞育的诱导：基于定量的光周期反应

为了探明大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly夏滞育诱导的光周期时间测量特性, 我们通过室内实验系统比较了该虫在25℃、 不同长光照条件下,夏滞育的发生以及诱导50%个体进入夏滞育所需求的光 暗循环数。结果表明：不同长光照诱导的夏滞育比率有显著差异, 其中15 h或16 h光照诱导的滞育比率最高, 短于或长于这两个光照其滞育率均明显下降。在不同光 暗循环实验中, 14 h诱导的滞育比率均低于50%, 诱导50%个体进入夏滞育所需求的光 暗循环数在L15∶D9, L16∶D8, L17∶ D7和L18∶D6分别为2.61, 3.72, 4.64和5.92 d, 处理间存在显著差异。这些结果提示该虫夏滞育的诱导是基于定量的光周期反应。     

意大利蝗交配行为观察

通过昆虫行为观测仪与室外饲养观察,分析意大利蝗Calliptamus italicus的交配行为,阐明交配经历和温度对意大利蝗交配持续时间的影响。结果发现:(1)意大利蝗的交配行为包括相遇和交配两个阶段。相遇行为包括避让、打斗和交配3种类型,其中打斗多发生在雄雄相遇、雄虫与一对正在交配成虫相遇情况。避让和交配则多发生在雌雌相遇、雌雄相遇、雌虫与一对正在交配成虫相遇情况。雄虫在交配过程中占据主动。意大利蝗的交配行为包括曲腹、爬背、抱对和交配4个过程,平均时间为11.25±1.40 min。(2)雌雄虫初次交配的持续时间(12.88±0.67 min)显著长于雌雄虫均有交配经历的时间(10.47±0.39 min)(P0.05);初次交配雌虫和有交配经历雄虫的交配持续时间(11.00±0.75 min),与初次交配雄虫和有交配经历雌虫的时间(12.12±0.67 min)无显著差异(P0.05)。(3)随温度升高意大利蝗的交配持续时间缩短,27℃时交配持续时间最长(15.93±2.25 min),且与36℃、42℃时的时间差异显著(P0.05),42℃时的交配持续时间最短,为6.01±0.43 min,与36℃时的时间(7.47±0.52 min)差异不显著(P0.05)。     

扶桑绵粉蚧交配行为及能力的研究

本文对扶桑绵粉蚧的交配行为及交配能力进行观察,以期明确其交配行为和交配能力。研究发现,发现扶桑绵粉蚧雌雄虫均能多次交配,雄虫交配能力大于雌虫。雄虫交配次数为3～10次不等,平均为6.9次,以交配6次所占的比率最大,为26.7%。雌虫的交配次数为1～4次不等,平均为2.3次,以交配2次所占的比率最大,为40.0%。扶桑绵粉蚧的交配持续时间差异较大,从1.8 min到76.5 min不等,平均每次交配时间为11.5 min,其中以在10 min以内最多,为68.8%。上述研究为了解扶桑绵粉蚧的交配行为和研究昆虫性信息素提供了科学的依据。     

水稻二化螟的交配行为

在室内条件下,对水稻二化螟Chilo suppressalis的交配行为及能力进行了研究.结果表明：大多数二化螟雌蛾一生只交配一次,平均0.92次;而雄蛾具有多次交配能力,最多达4次,平均2.72次.二化螟雌蛾的日龄影响其交配率、交配起始时间和持续时间,随二化螟雌蛾日龄的增加,其交配率逐渐下降,交配起始时间逐渐提前,而交配持续时间逐渐上升.相反,二化螟雄蛾日龄对其交配率、交配起始时间和持续时间没有明显影响.交配日龄对二化螟雌蛾的生殖力也存在显著影响,随着二化螟雌蛾交配日龄的增加,雌蛾产卵量下降,卵孵化率降低,产卵期缩短,它们都与雌蛾交配日龄存在显著的负相关;而雌蛾产卵前期和雌蛾寿命随雌蛾交配日龄的增加而延长,与雌蛾交配日龄存在显著的正相关.但二化螟雄蛾交配日龄对雌蛾的生殖力没有明显影响,二化螟雄蛾一生都具有较强的交配繁殖能力.同时,不同交配史的雄蛾与雌蛾交配,对雌蛾的生殖力也没有显著影响.表明二化螟的交配活动是由雌蛾主导控制的.最后,对这些结果在二化螟性信息素防治中应用的可行性进行了探讨.在应用性信息素控制二化螟的实践中,可以在两方面取得实效,一是性信息素可以阻碍雌雄之间正常交配,降低交配率;二是可以推迟二化螟雌虫的交配,使其产卵量和卵孵化率降低.

2005年3月至2006年3月,采取所有事件取样法,对成都动物园5只(2雄,3雌)圈养金钱豹(Panthera pardu)进行观察,旨在了解圈养金钱豹的交配情况。记录交配行为1 174次。结果显示,圈养金钱豹全年皆可发情。具有明显的交配模式,交配姿势仅有一种,为背腹式。平均交配持续天数为(4.75±1.26)d。昼夜都有交配行为,但白天交配次数较夜间多。日交配的高峰发生在08:00～10:00时,不同的雄性个体出现的交配高峰日不同。平均交配持续时间为(7.48±1.22)s。在交配持续时间(P=0.000)、总交配次数(P=0.04)上,不同的雄性个体间存在显著性差异;而同一雄性在与不同雌性交配时,其持续时间无显著差异。金钱豹交配的特点为,交配的频次多,但每次交配持续时间短。     

大猿叶虫哈尔滨种群的滞育诱导研究

本文研究了光周期、温度和食料对大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly哈尔滨种群滞育诱导的影响。结果表明,在恒温20～30℃范围内,大猿叶虫哈尔滨种群滞育率为91.8%～100%,未见明显的光周期诱导反应,但温度对其滞育诱导具有一定的作用,高温可使少部分大猿叶虫继续发育而不滞育。在平均25℃的温周期与光周期L12∶D12条件下,其滞育诱导差异不显著。大猿叶虫取食白菜、油菜、雪里蕻、萝卜和独荇菜5种食料,在25℃滞育率为89.5%～100%;在28℃滞育率为76.9%～100%,食料种类对大猿叶虫哈尔滨种群滞育诱导差异显著,其中,取食独荇菜滞育率最低,取食萝卜滞育率最高。     

甜菜夜蛾交配行为和能力

在(27±1)℃,光周期L14∶D10的条件下对甜菜夜蛾I>Spodoptera exigua的交配行为及能力进行了研究。结果表明：成虫在羽化当晚即可进行交配,交配率以羽化后头三个晚上的较高(>82%),但从第4天起则显著下降。成虫一天中的交配时间出现于23:30～05:30之间,交配高峰出现在01:30～02:30和03:00～04:00 之间, 其中以第1高峰的发生频率较高。成虫交配持续时间从22～191 min不等,但以30～60 min的为多(40.8%, n=97), 60～90 min的次之(19.4%),超过180 min的较少(10.2 %)。另外,交配持续时间与蛾龄紧密相关。蛾龄越大,交配持续的时间越长,且差异显著。雄蛾一生的交配能力由1～11次不等,但受性比的影响显著：在性比为1∶1的条件下,雄蛾平均交配次数仅为3.0 次,而在2♀∶1♂至5♀∶1♂时,则增加到5.1～6.0 次。雌蛾交配比例及次数受性比的影响也很大：没有交配的雌蛾比例从1∶1时的8.3%增加到5♀∶1♂时的32%,仅交配一次的比例从16.7%增加到38.7%,而交配≥5 次的比例则从 25%下降到0。最后,对这些结果在甜菜夜蛾防治中应用的可能性进行了讨论。     

温度对大猿叶虫成虫繁殖和繁殖后滞育的影响

大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly是十字花科蔬菜上的重要害虫。在田间,该虫的繁殖期出现在春季和秋季,以成虫在土中越夏和越冬。本试验在光周期L∶D=16∶8条件下,系统调查了不同温度(20、25和28℃)对大猿叶虫非滞育成虫繁殖的影响。结果表明:每雌平均日产卵量在28℃最大(51.24±2.90)粒,显著高于25℃和20℃的(39.57±2.86)粒和(31.53±2.02)粒,但由于28℃下的产卵持续时间明显短,导致了总产卵量在这3种温度间没有显著差异;28℃下的卵孵化率低于20℃和25℃,但没有显著差异;随着温度的升高,成虫寿命逐渐缩短,20℃与28℃间的雌虫寿命存在显著差异,20℃与25℃,28℃的雄虫寿命存在显著差异;在20、25、28℃下,均有30%的个体经历一段时间繁殖后进入滞育,其滞育前的产卵持续时间随着温度的升高而明显缩短,总产卵量也随着温度的升高而下降。     

温度对大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly交配行为的影响

为了探明温度对大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly的交配行为的影响,在光周期LD 12:12,温度22℃,25℃和28℃下,观察了该虫的交配节律、日交配频率、交配持续时间和每日总交配时间.结果表明,该虫的交配节律受温度的影响,22℃下的交配高峰(上午9:00)较25℃和28℃下的交配高峰(上午8:00)推迟了1 h.温度对日交配频率和交配持续时间也有明显影响,22℃下日交配频率显著低于25℃和28℃,而交配持续时间则显著长于25℃和28℃.该虫每日总交配时间在这3种温度下变化不明显,而在较低温度下日交配频率的下降可能是由于交配持续时间延长所致.     

The scale‐of‐choice effect and how estimates of assortative mating in the wild can be biased due to heterogeneous samples

The mode in which sexual organisms choose mates is a key evolutionary process, as it can have a profound impact on fitness and speciation. One way to study mate choice in the wild is by measuring trait correlation between mates. Positive assortative mating is inferred when individuals of a mating pair display traits that are more similar than those expected under random mating while negative assortative mating is the opposite. A recent review of 1134 trait correlations found that positive estimates of assortative mating were more frequent and larger in magnitude than negative estimates. Here, we describe the scale‐of‐choice effect (SCE), which occurs when mate choice exists at a smaller scale than that of the investigator's sampling, while simultaneously the trait is heterogeneously distributed at the true scale‐of‐choice. We demonstrate the SCE by Monte Carlo simulations and estimate it in two organisms showing positive (Littorina saxatilis) and negative (L. fabalis) assortative mating. Our results show that both positive and negative estimates are biased by the SCE by different magnitudes, typically toward positive values. Therefore, the low frequency of negative assortative mating observed in the literature may be due to the SCE's impact on correlation estimates, which demands new experimental evaluation.     

Alternative male mating tactics in Gobius niger

In the field, parental males of the black goby Gobius niger were always >9 cm L _T, showed a conspicuous elongation of the first dorsal fin, and were darkly coloured. Larger parental males did not occupy larger nests or obtain more eggs, suggesting that over a threshold size reproductive success was not correlated with male size. The mating system was polygynous with different egg clutches simultaneously present in a nest. Smaller sexually mature males were observed around and inside nests in which spawning was occurring. These opportunistic males ranged in body size between 6 to 8 cm L _T. In contrast to parental males, they did not show an exaggeration of the first dorsal fin and were cryptically coloured, thus resembling small females in their external morphology. Aquarium experiments confirmed that smaller males perform a sneaking behaviour, releasing sperm when parental males spawn. As a consequence, it is possible to define three male types: type I are small, without an elongated dorsal fin and adopt a sneaking mating tactic; type III are large, have a pronounced elongation of the dorsal fin and perform parental behaviour; type II are intermediate both in size and elongation of the first dorsal fin and behave as either as sneakers or, possibly, as parental males according to nest availability and male competition.     

Lifetime mating success of males in a natural population of the papilionid butterfly,Atrophaneura alcinous (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)

Lifetime mating success of males in a natural population of the papilionid butterfly, Atrophaneura alcinous, was investigated and causes of the variation were examined. The most successful males mated with 5 females, whereas about 73% of the males failed to mate. Body size of males was not correlated with their eclosion date, longevity and lifetime mating success. There was no trade-off between mating success and longevity, and long-lived males had a disproportionately high mating success. Although number of available females per male per day was not variable among males with different longevities, long-lived males had higher mating efficiency. Time interval between matings by non-virgin males was shorter than that from eclosion to the first mating. High lifetime mating success of long-lived males was strongly related to their mating experience, not to their age per se.     

昆虫多次交配的策略和利益

简要回顾昆虫交配系统的研究历史,并简述Bateman的性选择原理,讨论雌雄昆虫在交配过程中的角色和性选择压力的相对关系。一般而言,由于雌雄两性在交配过程中的角色和对后代投入的不同,往往是雄虫试图与尽可能多的雌虫交配,即雄虫使自己被尽可能多的雌虫接受,雌虫选择最好的雄虫进行交配,即雌虫选择交配对象。雄虫因而发展出各种类型的交配策略,以获取与更多雌虫的交配机会;而雌虫也通过交配选择权,选择对自己更有利的雄虫进行交配,雌虫在交配过程中除了可以获得基因利益,还可以获取物质利益。文章分别就昆虫的交配策略和利益展开叙述和讨论。     

Spatial relationships between mate acquisition probability and aggregation size in a gregarious coreid bug, (Colpula lativentris): A case of the ideal free distribution under perceptual constraints

Spatial relationships of mate acquisition probability for individuals of both sexes of a gregariously-mating coreid bug, Colpula lativentris, were studied in relation to aggregation size. Operational sex ratio was always strongly male biased. Mate acquisition probability of females was rather constant and independent of aggregation size, as predicted by an ideal free distribution. Moreover laboratory experiments showed that both multiple mating and rearing density little affected female fecundity, suggesting ideal free distribution of females in terms of reproductive success. On the other hand, mate acquisition probability of males was higher in larger aggregations, where more receptive females were available. This male discrepancy from an ideal free distribution was similar to the patterns predicted by an ideal free distribution under perceptual constraints (Abrahams, 1986), but not by that under unequal competitive ability.
