悬铃木方翅网蝽与红带网纹蓟马的竞争关系研究

【背景】悬铃木方翅网蝽是仅危害悬铃木的外来入侵物种,而红带网纹蓟马寄主广泛,可吸食悬铃木叶片汁液,2个物种客观上发生了竞争关系。【方法】以悬铃木方翅网蝽与红带网纹蓟马共同发生的悬铃木种植街区为研究地点,每10d调查15根悬铃木枝条,记录各枝条各叶片上2个物种的数量,进而评价悬铃木方翅网蝽入侵对红带网纹蓟马的竞争排斥能力。【结果】悬铃木方翅网蝽在整个调查期间的种群数量明显高于红带网纹蓟马;悬铃木方翅网蝽在悬铃木上的时间生态位宽度和重叠指数均大于红带网纹蓟马,两者的时间生态位竞争系数达0.7022,明显高于对悬铃木枝条和叶片的竞争强度;悬铃木方翅网蝽和红带网纹蓟马对悬铃木枝条和叶片的竞争强度较低,且具有阶段性,空间竞争主要发生在6月中旬至7月下旬的2个种群发生高峰期;悬铃木方翅网蝽与红带网纹蓟马在悬铃木上的繁殖生态位出现了明显的时间分化,红带网纹蓟马仅秋季世代产卵于悬铃木叶片上,而悬铃木方翅网蝽所有世代均产卵于悬铃木叶上,但2个物种在悬铃木上共同繁殖期间,红带网纹蓟马选择产卵的枝条和叶片均有悬铃木方翅网蝽产卵,表明2个物种对产卵枝条和叶片具有相似的空间需求。【结论与意义】悬铃木方翅网蝽与红带网纹蓟马在悬铃木上整体的时空生态位竞争强度较弱,且2个物种的营养生态位差异较大;悬铃木方翅网蝽的入侵对红带网纹蓟马的生存和种群发展无明显影响。     

入侵害虫悬铃木方翅网蝽越冬后期在豫北寄主树干上的分布研究

【目的】入侵害虫悬铃木方翅网蝽近年来严重威胁我国城市行道树二球悬铃木的健康,受害严重时造成树木死亡。在越冬后期对悬铃木树干上的悬铃木方翅网蝽成虫的越冬习性开展研究,能为冬季防治积累生物学研究基础。【方法】早春随机调查河南省新乡市行道树二球悬铃木树干栓皮层外层下方隐藏的悬铃木方翅网蝽成虫,比较阳侧和阴侧虫口密度。同时记载悬铃木树干0.00~0.50 m、0.51~1.00 m、1.01~1.50 m、1.51~2.00 m 4个不同高度区段范围和树干皮层外层皲裂程度在5%以下、5%~25%、25%~50%、50%~75%、75%~95%、95%以上6个等级条件下害虫的虫口密度。【结果】栖息在悬铃木树干树皮下方的悬铃木方翅网蝽在阴面更多,阴面和阳面的虫口密度差异达极其显著水平[(F=6.63)(F0.01(1,19)=1.0132),P=0.00]。对寄主树干4个不同高度区段的虫口密度比较后,发现在树干1.0~1.5 m区段间的虫口密度最大,平均11.5头;且虫口密度在悬铃木不同高度区段间存在极显著差异[(F=26.91)(F0.01(3,56)=4.1519),P=0.00]。悬铃木树皮的不同皲裂程度对悬铃木方翅网蝽虫口密度的影响达极其显著水平[(F=31.02)(F0.01(3,56)=4.1519),P=0.00],在树皮外皮50%~75%皲裂程度条件下的虫口密度最大,平均9.8头。利用双因素方差分析方法分析树干不同高度和树皮不同皲裂等级的互作对虫口密度的分布影响达显著水平[(F=2.46)(F0.05(9,56)=2.0519),P=0.0195]。【结论】华北地区害虫秋冬防治时,在寄主悬铃木树干的最好涂白时机是在害虫全部下树后的12月上中旬进行,涂白高度以树干1.0~2.0 m范围为宜。本研究对悬铃木方翅网蝽在越冬期的预防和治理有较为重要的参考价值。     

悬铃木方翅网蝽在中国的首次发现

悬铃木方翅网蝽原产北美地区,首次在中国区系中发现.该种新入侵害虫在湖北武汉等城市危害三球悬铃木.介绍了方翅网蝽属和悬铃木方翅网蝽的鉴别特征、分布和为害情况.     

悬铃木方翅网蝽在我国的潜在分布分析

运用生态位模型MaxEnt和GARP对悬铃木方翅网蝽Corythucha ciliate(Say)在我国的潜在分布进行了模拟,并结合其寄主植物悬铃木在我国的分布进行了分析。实验采用悬铃木方翅网蝽在我国的分布数据,结合6种气候变量和海拔数据构建模型,并将MaxEnt和GARP的输出结果进行合意。研究显示MaxEnt和GARP的模拟结果基本一致,均能较好的模拟悬铃木方翅网蝽在我国的分布,二者均显示山东西南部和中部、四川中部和东部、重庆、陕西中部、河南中部和东部、安徽、江苏、上海、贵州、湖南、江西、浙江、福建中部和北部、云南中部等地区为悬铃木方翅网蝽的适宜分布区,此外,河北中部和南部、山东东部,广东和广西的北部亦具潜在分布的可能性。与MaxEnt输出结果相比,GARP相对较为保守。MaxEnt输出结果显示年平均气温和极端低温对悬铃木方翅网蝽地理分布的限制作用最大。考虑到该虫对高低温度的耐受性,我国二球悬铃木栽培的南界(南宁和广州)和北界(大连、北京、石家庄、太原)需要重视和监控起来。

二球悬铃木叶片挥发物与悬铃木方翅网蝽的相互作用研究

[目的]为了理解悬铃木方翅网蝽Corythucha ciliata(Say)与二球悬铃木间的和昆虫与寄主互作机制,本实验测定了悬铃木方翅网蝽取食对其寄主植物二球悬铃木的挥发性化合物的影响,以及该虫对这些化合物的行为反应。[方法]运用固相微萃取结合气相色谱与质谱联用技术,测定了不同为害时间段中悬铃木叶片挥发物的变化。通过"Y"形嗅觉仪检测了该虫对不同处理的悬铃木叶片和其挥发物成分的行为反应。[结果]随着为害时间的增加,挥发性化合物的种类和数量总体呈上升趋势。悬铃木未处理叶片中的挥发物有4种成分,包括:顺-3-己烯醇,1,8-桉叶素,(E)-4,8-二甲基-1,3,7-壬三烯和反式-β-石竹烯。在为害后叶片中,共检测到9种挥发性化合物,除了上述4种成分外,新增加了α-侧柏烯,桧烯,月桂烯,顺-3-己烯醇乙酸酯和γ-松油烯。行为学研究发现,悬铃木叶片能显著地吸引悬铃木方翅网蝽,其中顺-3-己烯醇,1,8-桉叶素对该虫具有吸引作用,而反式-β-石竹烯具有趋避作用。[结论]悬铃木叶片被悬铃木方翅网蝽危害后会产生多种挥发物,其中一些挥发物能显著影响该虫的行为,可能在悬铃木方翅网蝽的寄主定位中起着重要的作用,另一些化合物可能参与悬铃木对该虫的间接防御反应。     

悬铃木方翅网蝽触角感器扫描电镜观察

利用扫描电镜对悬铃木方翅网蝽Corythucha ciliata(Say)雌、雄成虫触角背面和腹面进行观察。结果表明:悬铃木方翅网蝽触角为棒状,共4节,分为柄节、梗节和鞭节。触角上共有4种感器,分别为刺型感器、锥形感器、毛型感器和芽型感器;这些感器不存在性二型现象。其中,刺型感器分为大刺型感器和小刺型感器2种类型;芽型感器首次在异翅亚目昆虫触角上发现。雄成虫触角感器数量明显多于雌成虫,不同类型的感器在触角各节上的数量与分布各不相同。     

悬铃木叶片对悬铃木方翅网蝽为害的生理响应

为了认识近年来入侵中国的外来害虫悬铃木方翅网蝽Corythucha ciliata刺吸为害对寄主的影响,将室内饲养虫源接入野外悬铃木Platanus×acerifolia叶片上,利用光合作用仪和比色法,测定了不同受害级别下悬铃木叶片几种生理性状的变化。结果表明：随着受害级别的增高,叶片光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)总体呈下降趋势。叶片不同受害级别与胞间CO₂浓度(Ci)呈正相关(P< 0.01)。悬铃木方翅网蝽刺吸悬铃木叶片组织后, 叶片叶绿素a、b和类胡萝卜素都较对照降低,且随着被害级别的增高,降低程度逐渐增大。叶面积受害级别与叶绿体色素之间呈显著的负相关关系(P< 0.01)。随着叶片受害级别的增大,可溶性糖含量呈下降趋势,而游离脯氨酸含量的变化则无规律性。这些结果说明, 悬铃木方翅网蝽的刺吸为害能造成寄主植物光合作用的减弱及叶片其他生理生化指标变化。     

我国发现又一有害入侵生物

近日在湖北省发现一种新的有害外来入侵昆虫——悬铃木方翅网蝽。武汉、襄樊、荆门、宜昌等城市的三球悬铃木均受到危害，个别地区危害较严重。悬铃木方翅网蝽属昆虫纲半翅目网蝽科网蝽属，原产于北美，主要危害悬铃木属树种，抑制光合作用，影响植株生长，其危险性较大，不易除治。危害严重时，则引起寄主植物大量叶片枯黄脱落，严重破坏景观。资料表明，该种害虫在欧洲传播悬铃木溃疡病和法国梧桐炭疽病两种真菌病害，导致植株死亡。另外，这种害虫还可成群侵入居室内干扰居民生活。     

红带网纹蓟马对几种寄主植物的适合度研究

【背景】红带网纹蓟马扩散范围大且寄主植物广泛,以若虫、成虫锉吸为害植物花、叶及幼果,严重影响植物美观和果实质量。然而,有关红带网纹蓟马对不同寄主植物适合度的研究较少。【方法】在室内用不同寄主植物饲喂红带网纹蓟马,每天观察并记录其若虫、预蛹、蛹的死亡及发育情况,每2 d观察1次红带网纹蓟马成虫寿命和产卵情况。【结果】红带网纹蓟马若虫、预蛹均不能在乌桕、砂梨、泡桐、碧桃及构树上完成发育,但蛹能发育为成虫;在二球悬铃木、石楠、杜鹃、板栗上各虫态都能正常发育。其中,1龄若虫在石楠上发育到成虫的时间最长,为8.50 d;2龄若虫在杜鹃上发育到成虫的时间最长,为6.90 d;预蛹在板栗上的发育时间最长,为5.50 d;蛹在构树上的发育时间为5.70 d。不同寄主植物对红带网纹蓟马成虫寿命的影响存在显著差异,红带网纹蓟马成虫在二球悬铃木和石楠上的寿命长达7 d以上,在杜鹃上为5.80 d,而在板栗上为3.50 d;红带网纹蓟马在二球悬铃木、石楠、杜鹃、板栗上的产卵量高于其他寄主植物,但不存在显著差异。【结论与意义】二球悬铃木、石楠、杜鹃、板栗是红带网纹蓟马适宜的寄主植物。     

园林害虫大袋蛾在四种寄主植物上的繁殖潜能评估(英文)

【目的】大袋蛾Clania variegata是一种严重危害多种植物的食叶性害虫。为了通过合理配植园林植物防治大袋蛾,本研究评估了在悬铃木、月桂、合欢及桃树4种寄主植物上大袋蛾的繁殖潜能。【方法】2018年7月15日至2019年6月21日,在室外纱网隔离环境中测定了大袋蛾分别在悬铃木、月桂、合欢和桃树上的卵期、幼虫期、蛹期、存活率、成虫寿命、雌成虫产卵期和每日单雌产卵量。采用年龄-龄期两性生命表程序TWOSEX-MSChart对大袋蛾发育历期、存活率、成虫寿命及雌虫繁殖力数据进行了分析。【结果】寄主植物种类可显著影响大袋蛾的发育历期和成虫寿命。取食月桂时,大袋蛾2, 3, 4和5龄幼虫的历期显著长于取食其他植物时的;取食桃树时,大袋蛾雌成虫寿命(11.47 d)显著长于取食月桂时的(10.26 d)。大袋蛾取食月桂时的产卵期(7.04 d)显著短于取食悬铃木(7.52 d)、合欢(7.59 d)及桃树(8.11 d)时的。大袋蛾取食悬铃木时的净繁殖力（R₀）(2 015.70粒卵)显著高于取食月桂(1 419.12粒卵)、桃树(1 289.66 粒卵)和合欢(976.67粒卵)时的。大袋蛾取食悬铃木时的内禀增长率(r)(0.02523/d)显著高于取食月桂(0.02377/d)、合欢(0.02304/d)及桃树(0.02194/d)时的。【结论】大袋蛾取食悬铃木时的繁殖潜能显著高于取食月桂、合欢及桃树时的,在园林设计中合理间隔种植月桂、合欢及桃树可能有利于减少大袋蛾对非嗜食植物的危害。     

Ecophysiological responses to simulated canopy gaps of two tree species of contrasting shade tolerance in elevated CO2

1. One-year-old seedlings of shade tolerant Acer rubrum and intolerant Betula papyrifera were grown in ambient and twice ambient (elevated) CO₂, and in full sun and 80% shade for 90 days. The shaded seedlings received 30-min sun patches twice during the course of the day. Gas exchange and tissue–water relations were measured at midday in the sun plants and following 20 min of exposure to full sun in the shade plants to determine the effect of elevated CO₂ on constraints to sun-patch utilization in these species.
2. Elevated CO₂ had the largest stimulation of photosynthesis in B. papyrifera sun plants and A. rubrum shade plants.
3. Higher photosynthesis per unit leaf area in sun plants than in shade plants of B. papyrifera was largely owing to differences in leaf morphology. Acer rubrum exhibited sun/shade differences in photosynthesis per unit leaf mass consistent with biochemical acclimation to shade.
4. Betula papyrifera exhibited CO₂ responses that would facilitate tolerance to leaf water deficits in large sun patches, including osmotic adjustment and higher transpiration and stomatal conductance at a given leaf-water potential, whereas A. rubrum exhibited large increases in photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency.
5. Results suggest that species of contrasting successional ranks respond differently to elevated CO₂, in ways that are consistent with the habitats in which they typically occur.     

Morphometric correlates of karyotype and host plant in genus Euceraphis (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Abstract Samples of birch- and alder-feeding aphids of genus Euceraphis were measured and analysed using multiple discriminant analysis (canonical variates) to find out if morphological variation correlated with previously reported differences of karyotype and host association. The dataset comprised groups of specimens defined solely by locality and collection date. Mean scores on the first two canonical variates clustered the samples fully in accordance with their karyotypes and host plants, confirming the existence of a number of morphologically similar but distinct host-specific taxa within the E. betulae group. Three new species are described: Euceraphis borealis Blackman, sp.n. on Betula glandulosa and B. nana , Euceraphis papyrifericola Blackman, sp.n. on B. papyrifera , and Euceraphis quednaui Blackman, sp.n. on B. occidentalis . A key is provided to alate viviparae of the genus.     

Host plant phenology affects performance of an invasive weevil, Phyllobius oblongus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in a northern hardwood forest

We investigated how host plant phenology and plant species affected longevity, reproduction, and feeding behavior of an invasive weevil. Phyllobius oblongus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is common in northern hardwood forests of the Great Lakes Region. Adults emerge in spring, feed on foliage of woody understory plants, and oviposit in the soil. Preliminary data indicate that adults often feed on sugar maple, Acer saccharum Marshall, foliage early in the season, then feed on other species such as raspberry, Rubus spp. Whether this behavior reflects temporal changes in the quality of A. saccharum tissue or merely subsequent availability of later-season plants is unknown. We tested adult P. oblongus in laboratory assays using young (newly flushed) sugar maple foliage, old (2-3 wk postflush) sugar maple foliage, and raspberry foliage. Raspberry has indeterminate growth, thus always has young foliage available for herbivores. Survival, oviposition, and leaf consumption were recorded. In performance assays under no-choice conditions, mated pairs were provided one type of host foliage for the duration of their lives. In behavioral choice tests, all three host plants were provided simultaneously and leaf area consumption was compared. Adults survived longer on and consumed greater amounts of young maple and raspberry foliage than old maple foliage. P. oblongus preferred young maple foliage to old maple foliage early in the season, however, later in the growing season weevils showed less pronounced feeding preferences. These results suggest how leaf phenology, plant species composition, and feeding plasticity in host utilization may interact to affect P. oblongus population dynamics.     

星天牛在悬铃木木段上的产卵行为研究

为明确产卵木段粗细对星天牛Anoplophora chinensis刻槽产卵的影响、了解刻槽产卵习性及产卵规律,以不同直径悬铃木Platanus acerifolia木段为产卵材料,通过无选择和选择性产卵试验,测定了星天牛在悬铃木上产卵部位选择,并监测了星天牛的产卵过程。结果表明：星天牛产卵过程主要包括刻槽部位选择、咬槽、产卵和封槽4个阶段。星天牛在不同直径的悬铃木木段上都能刻槽产卵,但木段的粗细对刻槽数量、产卵量的影响差异显著,对空槽率、卵的大小没有影响。刻槽产卵行为主要集中在直径10~15 cm木段。在直径3~5 cm木段上刻槽数量和产卵量最低,显著低于直径大于5 cm的木段。在武汉地区,星天牛产卵高峰期在6月下旬-7月中旬,孵化高峰期在7月中下旬。该结果为深入研究星天牛的生殖行为,精准监测和防控提供参考。     

The interspecific competition presents greater nutrient facilitation compared with intraspecific competition through AM fungi interacting with litter for two host plants in karst soil

AM 真菌和枯落物互作下两种喀斯特植物种间竞争较种内竞争更能促进植物养分利用 枯落物是植物养分获取和土壤养分转化的关键载体。丛枝菌根(Arbuscular mycorrhizae, AM)对植物养分摄取的影响已被广泛认知。然而，在养分亏缺的喀斯特生境中，不同竞争方式的植物如何通过AM真菌和枯落物利用养分尚不清楚。本研究对两种喀斯特适生植物构树(Broussonetia papyrifera)和云贵鹅耳枥(Carpinus pubescens)进行种内竞争和种  间竞争种植处理，并通过幼套球 囊霉(Glomus etunicatum)接种或不接种处理，以及土壤中添加或不添加两物种叶片混合枯落物处理，测定了植物生物量以及氮、磷、钾浓度等指标，研究植物的生长和养分利用。研究结果表明，AM真菌对两种植物养分摄取影响不同，AM真菌显著提高了种内和种间竞争下构树的养分摄取量，但降低了云贵鹅耳枥的养分摄取量。种间竞争下接种AM真菌，枯落物添加促进了云贵鹅耳枥对氮的摄取，抑制了构树对氮的摄取。接种AM真菌和添加枯落物条件下，种间竞争的构树对氮、磷和钾的摄取量及云贵鹅耳枥对氮的摄取量均高于种内竞争；种间竞争下两物种养分竞争力呈现明显差异，即构树对磷和钾养分竞争力显著提高，对氮则不显著；云贵鹅耳枥仅对钾的养分竞争力显著降低，对氮和磷则无显著影响。这些结果说明，在AM真菌与枯落物相互作用下，两种喀斯特植物种间竞争较种内竞争更能促进植物养分利用。     

Seed Dispersal by a Frugivore Pycnonotus sinensis and the Distribution of Sambucus chinensis

Frugivorous birds play an important role in the distribution of those plants on whose fruits they feed and affect species composition of plant communities. The fruiting phenology of Sambucus chinensis Lindl. in Wuhan area ranges from July to November, while abundant fruits are available in July and August. Although other seven species of frugivores were found in the study area, only Pycnonotus sinensis (Gmelin), a resident bird endemic to China, was observed foraging in the fruits of this plant for the field. Pycnonotus sinensis shifts from eating fruits of Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) Vent. to those of S. chinensis from July to August. Identification of seeds in a total of 658 feces disseminated by P. sinensis which were collected in the field showed that most of the seeds came from S. chinensis and B. papyrifera. Seeds in those feces collected at the end of August were all of S. chinensis. Field investigation of the associations of S. chinensis shows that its frequent companion species are B. papyrifera, Cinnamomum camphora, Ligustrum lucidum and Rubus biflorus, whose fruits are also preferred by this frugivore in different seasons. The distribution of Pycnonotus sinensis is limited to the south of Qinling Mountain in China. The distribution of S. chinensis is basically consistent with that of Pycnonotus sinensis. The result indicates that seed dispersal of S. chinensis depends on the foraging of this frugivore. Likewise, the fruits of S. chinensis are the primary food for this frugivore in autumn. As the result suggests, conservationists and restoration biologists should highlight the study of plant-disperser mutualism in the future work.     

Alloparental care between catfishes in Lake Tanganyika

A bagrid catfish Auchenoglanis occidentalis cared for its brood, deposited within an accumulation of shells and gravel in the centre of a large saucer-like depression, for up to 2 weeks in Lake Tanganyika. Adults of another catfish Dinotopterus cunningtoni (Clariidae) persistently came to A. occidentalis nests near days of host spawning. Eggs of D. cunningtoni were found in the host nests on the day and within 2 days of host spawning. During and for a few days after the end of host brooding, associate species' young of much older ages than the host brood were often found in the nests together with those of a similar age to the host young. Associate young were rarely found in nests before spawning and in unused nests. These findings suggested that this brood-mixing has two origins: egg dumping by associate adults and voluntary intrusion of large associate young into host nests. Possible benefits to the associate species are to take advantage of nest preparation and parental behaviour of the host species and to feed on the host brood.
