寄主龄期对可疑柄瘤蚜茧蜂寄生及其后代适合度的影响

采用单选试验,观察了可疑柄瘤蚜茧蜂（Tysiphlebus anbiguus）对不同发育时期黑豆蚜的寄生选择及其后代生长发育适合度相关特征,以检验寄主大小与其质量是否存在正相关关系。结果表明,黑豆蚜（Aphis fabae）1～4龄和成蚜均被寄生,但对2龄若蚜的寄生率最高（35．25％）,对成蚜寄生率最低（14．75％）;寄生低龄蚜虫的羽化率显著高于高龄若蚜和成蚜。寄生2龄若蚜的发育历期（8．4d）最短,而寄生1龄若蚜最长（9．3d）;寄生2～4龄蚜虫的后代蜂体型显著大于寄生1龄和成蚜;寄生4龄若蚜的后代中,雌蜂比例（75．74％）显著高于1龄若蚜（62．89％）和成蚜（65．19％）,但与寄生2～3龄若蚜无显著差异。寄主黑豆蚜的质量从高至低依次为2龄〉3龄=4龄〉成蚜〉1龄,因此,对可疑柄瘤蚜茧蜂而言。寄主大小与其质量并非存在正相关性。     

豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂和广双瘤蚜茧蜂田间发生动态及田间繁育

豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂Lysiphlebus fabarum Marshall和广双瘤蚜茧蜂Binodoxys communis Gahan是大豆田大豆蚜的重要寄生蜂。2009—2010年,采取棋盘式采样和随机抽样调查相结合的方法,在辽宁岫岩对大豆田内的豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂和广双瘤蚜茧蜂的发生动态进行了研究。结果显示,2009年,豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂6月20号前后在田间开始少量发生,7月上旬数量急速上升,中旬达到最高值,然后开始下降;8月中旬出现第2个高峰,数量上明显小于第1个高峰期,但2010年只有1个高峰,第2个高峰不明显;广双瘤蚜茧蜂6月底开始出现并不断上升,到7月上、中旬达到一定量后持续到8月底。总体来说,豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂发生的时间比广双瘤蚜茧蜂早,且数量也较多。同时在大田按照不同的处理,对豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂进行大田罩笼繁殖研究,当豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂与适龄蚜虫数量比值为1:100的情况下产生的僵蚜数量最多。为大田有效利用蚜茧蜂控制大豆蚜提供了必要的基础资料。     

可疑柄瘤蚜茧蜂对高温下不同龄期黑豆蚜的寄生及其适合度表现

研究寄生蜂对寄主不同龄期的寄生策略通常采用适温下（≈25℃）培养的寄主进行试验。 为探究蚜茧蜂对高温下生长的寄主蚜虫的寄生反应及其适合度表现,在30℃条件下饲养寄主孤雌胎生无翅黑豆蚜Aphis fabae Scopli,获得不同龄期若蚜和刚羽化的成蚜,分别提供给可疑柄瘤蚜茧蜂Lysiphlebus ambiguous Haliday寄生,观察蚜茧蜂的寄生率以及后代性比、体型大小和发育时间等适合度相关特性。结果表明： 可疑柄瘤蚜茧蜂对1至4龄若蚜及成蚜均寄生,但偏向寄生较早龄期的若蚜,对成蚜的寄生率为28.0％,显著低于对1龄（400％）和2龄（42.8%）寄主若蚜的寄生率。后代雌蜂比例和体型随寄主龄期（体型）增大而减小,而发育历期则呈现“中间低,两头高”的格局。后代性比、体型大小及发育历期等适合度表现与此前适温（≈25℃）下得到的结果截然相反。因此推测,寄主黑豆蚜体型或龄期可能不是或不全部是可疑柄瘤蚜茧蜂评价寄主质量的依据,其他与寄主蚜虫内共生菌动态相关的线索（如行为的,化学的等）可能才是其评价寄主质量的依据。     

豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂触角感受器的扫描电镜观察(英文)

利用扫描电镜对豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂Lysiphlebus fabarum的触角感受器进行了观察, 发现有7 种感受器, 分别为毛形感受器、刺形感受器Ⅰ型、刺形感受器Ⅱ型、锥形感受器、腔锥形感受器Ⅰ型、腔锥形感受器Ⅱ型和板形感受器。毛形感受器是数量最多的感器; 除了腔锥形感受器Ⅱ型只在雌虫触角发现外, 雌、雄触角感受器的类型和结构没有较大的差别, 并且腔锥形感受器Ⅱ是数量最少的感器。     

蚜茧蜂产卵对寄主龄期的选择与其对蚜虫种群影响大小的计算机模拟研究

利用苦苣菜蚜-苦苣菜蚜茧蜂混合种群系统模拟模型,通过改变种群参数、初始虫量和温度条件,探讨了蚜茧蜂产卵选择寄主龄期特性对整个种群系统行为的影响,并比较了这一特性与蜂产卵量两者的相对重要性。结果表明,蜂产卵对寄主龄期选择特性的改变可明显改变其对蚜虫种群增长影响的程度,当产卵选择特性改变,产卵量在多数情况下必须要大幅度直至成倍的增减,才能补偿其对蚜虫种群的控制作用。不过,当蜂产卵嗜好三龄、二龄、四龄若蚜时(这在蚜茧蜂中较普遍),其作用和产卵无选择性时基本相似。     

茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂对苜蓿蚜的寄生功能反应

在室内(25±1℃,L:D=16:8光周期,RH=40%～60%)条件下,研究了茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂Lysiphlebus testaceipes(Cresson)对苜蓿蚜Aphis craccivora(Koch)若蚜的寄生功能反应。结果表明:苜蓿蚜的龄期对茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂的寄生作用有很大影响,用功能反应HollingⅡ模型模拟,其模拟方程为Na=1.118 N/(1+0.0184 N)。通过该方程可明确单头雌成蜂在24 h内最多寄生60.60头苜蓿蚜,其寄生1头苜蓿蚜所需时间为0.396 h。在5个温度梯度下,茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂对苜蓿蚜的寄生功能反应均符合HollingⅡ模型,但不同温度下的功能反应参数有明显的差异。此外茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂自身密度对寄生有一定的干扰作用,其干扰作用通过Hassell-Varley模型拟合,方程为a=0.0621P-0.3062,表明茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂雌蜂的发现域随着自身密度的增加而逐渐变小,寄生蜂雌蜂个体间的相互干扰效应降低了寄生效能。     

两种蚜茧蜂及其寄主蚜虫对大豆植株挥发性次生物质的触角电位反应

研究了下列害虫和寄生天敌种类对大豆植株中提取的某些挥发性次生化合物及其不同组合混合相的触角电位反应： 1)豆蚜Aphis craccivora Koch和麦长管蚜Macrosiphum avenae (Fabricius);2)为害大豆植株的大豆蚜Aphis glycines Matsumura和不为害大豆植株的豆蚜二者所共有的寄生天敌豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂Lysiphlebus fabarum Marshall; 3)不为害大豆植株的麦长管蚜的寄生天敌燕麦蚜茧蜂Aphidius picipes Nees。结果表明,与大豆植株相关联的大豆蚜和不相关联的豆蚜所共有的天敌——豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂,对大豆植株的挥发性次生化合物及其混合相反应敏感,而与大豆植株不相关联的豆蚜、麦长管蚜及其寄生天敌——燕麦蚜茧蜂,对大豆植株的挥发性次生化合物及其混合相反应不敏感。再次证明,植物挥发性次生化合物在害虫及其寄生天敌搜寻寄主的过程中起到重要的作用。

印楝素与脂肪酸甲酯联合使用对豆蚜的防治效果

本文对新疆博州豇豆豆蚜Aphis craccivora (Koch)田间消长规律进行调查,研究了0.3%印楝素与脂肪酸甲酯喷雾助剂联合对豆蚜的防治效果,并对豆蚜天敌消退率进行了调查。结果表明,在博州,豆蚜以卵在苦豆子和苜蓿上越冬,3月下旬至4月初开始孵化,5月上中旬出现有翅蚜在杂草上繁殖蔓延,5月中旬开始迁入棉花上危害,6月中旬陆续迁入豇豆上危害,7月上中旬在豇豆上达到危害高峰时期,7月中下旬慢慢迁入苜蓿地,9月中旬出现性蚜,9月下旬-10月中旬在苜蓿和杂草上产卵越冬。施药后1 d,20%啶虫脒可湿性粉剂1 000倍液对豆蚜的防效最高,达到82.91%; 施药后3 d,20%啶虫脒可湿性粉剂1 000倍液防效仍最高为97.92%;施药后7 d,0.3%印楝素乳油60 mL/667m2+脂肪酸甲酯喷雾助剂1 000倍液防效达97.38%,显著高于其他处理。总体来说,在豇豆豆蚜发生期施用1次0.3%印楝素+脂肪酸喷雾助剂防治豇豆豆蚜,防效好、持效期长,对豇豆及蚜虫天敌安全性较好。     

Evaluation of selected cowpea varieties for resistance to Aphis craccivora Koch (Homoptera: Aphididae) at the seedling and podding phase

Twelve varieties of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) were tested at the seedling and podding growth phases for resistance to infestation and damage to Aphis craccivora Koch. Nine of these cowpeas have previously been known to exhibit seedling resistance and the other three, susceptibility to the insect. A. craccivora could not colonise pods of TVu 9930. Pods of Tvu 36 also manifested a high level of resistance to the aphid. The three seedling susceptible varieties proved quite susceptible to A. craccivora at the podding phase. The other varieties were more resistant to the aphid in the seedling phase than in the podding phase.     

Influence of certain agricultural practices on the cowpea aphid,Aphis craccivora Koch,infesting broad bean crops and the relation between the infestation and yield of plants in upper Egypt

Abstract

The effect of certain agriculture practices such as susceptibility of six broad bean varieties, space of planting, nitrogen fertilization levels, first irrigation and farmyard manure on the infestation of broad bean crop with the Aphis craccivora Koch was studied at El-Kawsar region, Sohag Governorate (about 495 km south of Cairo, Egypt) throughout the 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 seasons. The results obtained revealed that A. craccivora appeared from November until the second week of April. Also, the faba bean varieties were different in their susceptibility to the infestation with A. craccivora, dividing into three groups: the first one which was susceptible included Giza 674 and Giza Blanka; the second had low resistance and included Giza 843, Giza 2 and Giza 40; and the third group was moderate including Giza 429. The numbers of A. craccivora was significantly increased at 70 kg chemical nitrogen plus farmyard manure than at 40 or 55 units/feddan of chemical nitrogen during the two seasons. The population density of A. craccivora was significantly higher when decreasing the planting space. The population density of A. craccivora increased significantly with an increase of nitrogen fertilization levels during both seasons. The broad bean plants sown on 10 cm and which received N at a rate of 90 kg/fed. harboured the highest numbers of A. craccivora as compared with the other treatment (20 and 30 cm). The results show also that the broad bean plants which were irrigated at 56 and 63 days as a first irrigation harboured highly significant numbers of A. craccivora compared with the plants irrigated at 14, 21 and 28 days. These results also show significant negative correlation between the infestation of A. craccivora and the yield of broad bean plants.     

Sibling cannibalism in aphidophagous ladybirds: its impact on sex-dependent development and body weight

Abstract:  The effects of sibling egg cannibalism on sex-dependent development and adult body weight were determined by rearing simultaneously two groups of sibling larvae of ladybirds, viz. Propylea dissecta and Coccinella transversalis individually. The first group included cannibals (i.e. neonates, which took a sibling egg as the first meal and later fed on aphids, Aphis craccivora ) and the other included non-cannibals (reared exclusively on aphids). The cannibal larvae developed faster with heavier adults than non-cannibals. This expedited development and nutritional advantage (increased body weight) was greater in first instars indicating maximum benefit of sibling cannibalism to them. Sibling cannibalism was relatively more advantageous to male than to female ladybirds. Laboratory data predict that the larger size of adults in the field could possibly be the result of sibling egg cannibalism at the neonate level.     

Bionomics ofTrioxys indicus [Hym.: Aphidiidae], a parasitoid ofAphis craccivora [Hem.: Aphididae]: 31. Effect of host haemolymph on the numerical response of the parasitoid

The influence of kairomones on the numerical response of the parasitoidTrioxys indicus against its hostAphis craccivora at its varying density was studied. The kairomones (applied as aqueous extract of the host) significantly enhanced the rate of parasitisation and multiplication and the area of discovery of the parasitoid and also the K-values of mortality of the host at all parasitoid densities introduced (1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 parasitoids) into troughs having about 200 hosts. The sex-ratio of F₁ offspring decreased at lower parasitoid densities and remained more or less unchanged at higher parasitoid densities after the application of kairomones. The present findings indicate that if kairomones are applied properly, the number of hosts destroyed by a stimulated parasitoid will be about 200, twice the number reported earlier, thus fewer parasitoids will be needed to regulate an estimated population of the hosts.      

松毛虫赤眼蜂对被害与未被害马尾松的趋性选择

分别利用培养皿和“Y”形嗅觉仪的测定方法,研究了松毛虫赤眼蜂Trichogramma dendrolimiMatsumura对马尾松毛虫Dendrolimus punctatusWalker危害的马尾松针(Pinus massoniana)与未被害马尾松针的趋性选择反应。发现未被害松针和被害松针对松毛虫赤眼蜂均具显著的引诱作用,但是在被害与未被害松针两者之间,松毛虫赤眼蜂明显选择被害松针;对于不同被害程度而言,松毛虫赤眼蜂倾向于选择被害程度严重的松针,而与松针是否被马尾松毛虫连续危害的关系不明显。即松毛虫赤眼蜂可以通过马尾松毛虫被害后的寄主植物(马尾松)所散发的气味以对寄主栖息地定向,跟踪、寻找马尾松毛虫。     

The effects of parasitoid fecundity and host taxon on the biological control of insect pests: the relationship between theory and data

1. A simple, intuitive argument and the tenets of the biological control literature both suggest that, in general, parasitoids with a greater fecundity will provide better control of their hosts, and will thus be better biological control agents. 2. A model of host-parasitoid dynamics, based on the standard Thompson–Nicholson–Bailey approach and incorporating the effects of parasitoid fecundity-limitation and host density-dependence, also indicates that as parasitoid fecundity decreases so does local stability and the degree of host suppression. 3. A taxonomically diverse data set obtained from the biological control record failed to support this theoretical prediction, but at the same time indicated a strong effect of host taxon on the outcome of biological control. 4. The hypothesis that the fecundity of parasitoids is correlated positively with their ability to suppress host populations is supported by data exclusively from the host order Lepidoptera. 5. Possible explanations for the divergence between the fecundity-limitation hypothesis and the complete data set include: the ability of parasitoids to provide long-term control of pests without the presence of a stable host–parasitoid equilibrium; differences between the concepts of successful control in theory and practice; evolutionary trade-offs between fecundity and other parasitoid life-history features, such as search efficiency, leading to better pest control by parasitoids with low fecundity; and differing windows of vulnerability to parasitoid attack between host taxa.     

Predation byCheilomenes vicina [Coleoptera: Coccinellidae] on the cowpea aphid,Aphis craccivora [Homoptera: Aphididae]: Effect of prey stage and density

Consumption of larvae and females ofAphis craccivora Koch by 1st and 4th larvae and adults ofCheilomenes vicina (Muls.) was studied under fluctuating temperature (24–30°C). The early aphid instars were consumed in significantly greater numbers than later instars and females. The feeding rates ofC. vicina were significantly positively correlated with the population density of prey. The number of prey consumed daily by each predator stage tested, increased more steeply at lower than at higher prey densities, exhibiting thus the type 2 functional response

Résumé Consommation des larves et des ♀ d'Aphis craccivora par les11^e stades, les 4^e stades et les adultes deCheilomenes vicina a été étudiée à une température variant de 24 à 30°C. Les jeunes stades du puceron sont consommés en nombre plus grand significativement que les derniers stades et les ♂. Les taux d'alimentation deC. vicina manifestent une corrélation hautement significative avec la densité de population de la proie. Le nombre de proies consommées quotidiennement par chaque stade considéré du prédateur augmentait plus brusquement aux faibles qu'aux fortes densités de proies, manifestant ainsi chez le prédateur le type 2 de réponse fonctionnelle.
