螟卵啮小蜂产卵行为利它素的研究:存在部位和抽提

本文是有关螟卵啮小蜂产卵行为利它素研究的第一部份,报道了该利它素在寄主三化螟、白螟中的存在部位和抽提方法。 试验表明:刺激螟卵啮小蜂搜索寄主和产卵行为的利它素存在于寄主卵块的卵毛和雌蛾的尾毛之中,它能被丙酮—水(1:1)溶剂所抽提,但不能被正己烷所抽提。当把白螟卵毛的丙酮—水抽提浓缩物滴加到纸质模拟卵上后,能引起雌蜂对模拟卵的触角敲打和产卵管插入。     

繁育寄主对稻螟赤眼蜂寄生行为及寄生能力的影响

【目的】繁育寄主影响赤眼蜂的生物学特性,为明确米蛾 Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton)卵繁育的稻螟赤眼蜂 Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead是否和二化螟Chilo suppressalis (Walker)卵繁育稻螟赤眼蜂在防治二化螟上有差别,及田间用米蛾卵作为稻螟赤眼蜂续代寄主的可行性,本实验观察了羽化自不同寄主的稻螟赤眼蜂的寄主选择和寄生行为,研究了两种繁育寄主对稻螟赤眼蜂寄生能力的影响,为田间防治水稻螟虫提供参考信息。【方法】室内利用选择试验观察了由米蛾卵和二化螟卵繁育出的稻螟赤眼蜂对两种寄主的选择趋性及在两种寄主上的寄生行为和寄生能力,统计了羽化子代蜂的寿命。【结果】由二化螟卵繁育的稻螟赤眼蜂表现出了对二化螟卵的选择偏好,而米蛾卵繁育的稻螟赤眼蜂在米蛾卵和二化螟卵间没有表现出寄主选择偏好。寄主搜寻时间不受繁育寄主及供试寄主的影响,卵表探测时间和穿刺及产卵时间不受繁育寄主的影响,但同一寄主繁育的稻螟赤眼蜂在米蛾卵上的卵表探测时间显著长于在二化螟卵上的卵表检测时间。除二化螟卵繁育蜂寄生二化螟卵时的寄生率（36.95%）和羽化率（45.68%）较低外,米蛾卵繁育蜂寄生米蛾卵或二化螟卵以及二化螟卵繁育蜂寄生米蛾卵等3组处理间的寄生率、羽化率均无显著差异,各处理组间子代蜂寿命也无显著差异。【结论】繁育寄主影响稻螟赤眼蜂的寄主选择和寄生能力,但不影响寄生蜂搜寻寄主的能力和寄生行为。     

寄主利它素和学习行为对赤眼蜂嗅觉反应的影响

为弄清灰白蚕蛾Ocinara varians利它素以及探讨两种卵寄生蜂搜索寄主的过程中的学习记忆能力,本实验采用四臂嗅觉仪测定了松毛虫赤眼蜂Trichogramma dendrolimi和短管赤眼蜂Trichogramma pretiosum对来源于灰白蚕蛾不同部位挥发性物质的嗅觉反应,结果表明,灰白蚕蛾交配未产卵雌蛾腹末鳞片、卵表及其卵液中存在吸引两种赤眼蜂的利它素,且腹末鳞片和卵表中的利它素溶于正己烷,而灰白蚕蛾处女蛾和交配已产卵雌蛾腹末鳞片中没发现吸引两种赤眼蜂的利它素.在学习行为方面,松毛虫赤眼蜂成蜂的学习能力较强,其羽化后学习经历可明显增强其对灰白蚕蛾卵表和卵液的挥发性物质的趋性,而幼期经历对其行为没影响;短管赤眼蜂的学习能力较弱,无论是羽化后的学习经历还是幼期的学习经历对其在卵表和卵液挥发性物质的搜索行为中均无影响.     

稻螟赤眼蜂在稻螟种群演替中的作用的一点补充

<正> 关于稻螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma japonicamAshmead在稻螟种群演变中的作用,周圻同志已有论述(本刊1986,23(5):193—196),他的结论“三化螟种群的盛衰,又能强烈地影响稻螟赤眼蜂的盛衰,稻螟赤眼蜂的盛衰,又转而强烈地影响二化螟种群的消长”,揭示了稻田诸种昆虫之间微妙联系之一例,是很有意义的。我们也曾形象而又诙谐地提出过“三化螟可以防治二化螟”这一说法,其原因也在于此。除周文中已说到的①三化螟是稻螟赤眼蜂在田间最大的补充和繁殖寄主;②赤眼蜂对二化螟控制有效果,即二化螟卵块单层,卵寄生率可高达90％以上这两点原因外,我们认为还有一点,即三化     

繁育寄主对三种赤眼蜂个体大小及抱卵量的影响

【目的】繁育寄主及成蜂日龄均会影响赤眼蜂体内的抱卵量,为了解繁育寄主及育出赤眼蜂个体大小与赤眼蜂抱卵量的关系,我们在室内研究了米蛾 Corcyra cephalonica（Stainton）卵和亚洲玉米螟 Ostrinia furnacalis （Güenée）卵作为繁育寄主对3种赤眼蜂雌蜂大小、抱卵量的影响。【方法】在光周期14L:10D、温度25±1℃的室内条件下,以米蛾卵、亚洲玉米螟卵作为繁育寄主,解剖不同日龄（羽化后12-72 h）松毛虫赤眼蜂 Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura、玉米螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma ostriniae Pang et Chen以及稻螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead,观察雌蜂抱卵量,测量成蜂的大小,分析雌蜂抱卵量与其日龄、个体大小以及繁育寄主的关系【结果】在羽化后48 h以内,3种蜂的抱卵量随雌蜂日龄的增长而增加。羽化后72 h,除米蛾卵繁育的玉米螟赤眼蜂及玉米螟卵繁育的松毛虫赤眼蜂的抱卵量比羽化后48 h时略高外,其他组合均出现下降。以亚洲玉米螟卵为繁育寄主时的玉米螟赤眼蜂的抱卵量显著高于对应日龄的以米蛾卵为繁育寄主时的抱卵量,而松毛虫赤眼蜂（除羽化后12和24 h外）和稻螟赤眼蜂则相反;以米蛾卵为繁育寄主时,相同日龄的赤眼蜂中,松毛虫赤眼蜂抱卵量最高,稻螟赤眼蜂的抱卵量最低;以亚洲玉米螟卵为繁育寄主时,玉米螟赤眼蜂抱卵量最高,稻螟赤眼蜂抱卵量最低。雌蜂抱卵量与雌蜂个体大小呈线性正相关,相关程度随雌蜂日龄增加而更加明显。【结论】后足胫节长度可以作为评价松毛虫赤眼蜂、玉米螟赤眼蜂和稻螟赤眼蜂质量的指标。赤眼蜂抱卵量受繁育寄主、赤眼蜂蜂种及雌蜂日龄的显著影响,寄主的适合性也会影响育出赤眼蜂的大小,筛选合适的繁育寄主有助于提高赤眼蜂的质量。     

冷藏米蛾卵对稻螟赤眼蜂和玉米螟赤眼蜂子代质量的影响

【目的】以稻螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead和玉米螟赤眼蜂T.ostriniae为试验对象,研究低温冷藏米蛾卵对赤眼蜂子代质量的影响,为米蛾卵的合理利用,赤眼蜂的工厂化生产和应用提供理论依据。【方法】将米蛾卵在不同温度(1、4、7、10℃)下冷藏不同时间(3、5、7、10、15、20、25、30、40d),研究米蛾卵冷藏后作为寄主卵对两种赤眼蜂子代寄生卵量、F_2代羽化出蜂率和雌蜂率的影响,利用赤眼蜂子代寄生卵量、F_2代羽化出蜂率和雌蜂率三者乘积表示赤眼蜂子代质量(Q),根据赤眼蜂子代质量判断冷藏米蛾卵对子代质量的影响。【结果】米蛾卵冷藏温度和时间对赤眼蜂子代寄生卵量影响显著,但不同赤眼蜂种类和不同冷藏温度间表现不同。繁殖稻螟赤眼蜂时,米蛾卵在4℃下冷藏赤眼蜂寄生卵量下降最缓,米蛾卵冷藏20d内赤眼蜂寄生卵量与对照之间差异不显著,在其他温度下米蛾卵冷藏3 d稻螟赤眼蜂寄生卵量与对照之间差异达到显著水平;繁殖玉米螟赤眼蜂时,米蛾卵在4℃下冷藏赤眼蜂寄生卵量下降最缓,米蛾卵冷藏20d赤眼蜂寄生卵量与对照之间差异达到显著水平,1℃下冷藏赤眼蜂寄生卵量下降最快,米蛾卵冷藏5 d赤眼蜂寄生卵量与对照之间达到显著水平。米蛾卵冷藏对稻螟赤眼蜂和玉米螟赤眼蜂F_2代的羽化率和雌蜂率产生的不利影响相对较小,米蛾卵冷藏30 d赤眼蜂F_2代的羽化率仍在70%以上,雌蜂率仍在75%以上。【结论】米蛾卵冷藏超过一定的时间以后会对稻螟赤眼蜂和玉米螟赤眼蜂子代的寄生卵量,F_2代的羽化出蜂率和雌蜂率产生不利影响,从而降低子代稻螟赤眼蜂和玉米螟赤眼蜂的质量,但在适宜的温度下冷藏一定时间内对其子代质量影响不显著,其中4℃下冷藏米蛾卵繁殖的赤眼蜂子代质量最佳,冷藏30 d赤眼蜂子代质量降低不到50%。     

小菜蛾卵作为赤眼蜂中间寄主的寄生适合度分析

【目的】寻求快速扩繁赤眼蜂种群的寄主,试以繁殖速率较高的小菜蛾为中间寄主,评价不同赤眼蜂种类对小菜蛾卵的寄生适合度并筛选出适合的蜂种。【方法】通过构建稻螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead(简称T.j)、螟黄赤眼蜂T chilonis Ishi(简称T.c)和斑螟分索赤眼蜂Trichogrammatoidea hypsipylae Nagaraja(简称T.h)3种赤眼蜂在小菜蛾Plutella xylostella L.卵上繁殖的实验种群生命表,分析比较其各自的生命表参数,以了解不同蜂种对小菜蛾卵的寄生适合度。【结果】在小菜蛾卵上繁殖的稻螟赤眼蜂的净生殖力R_0、内禀增长率r_m、周限增长率λ与平均世代历期T分别为4.66、0.1633、1.1809、9.2532;斑螟分索赤眼蜂的上述4项参数分别为9.10、0.2177、1.2432、10.1432;螟黄赤眼蜂对小菜蛾卵的寄生能力较差,内禀增长率r_m为0.0338,且其后代性比偏雄,雌雄性比为1♀:6.2(?),以至不能正常传代。斑螟分索赤眼蜂的平均每雌寄生卵数为15.4粒,显著高于稻螟赤眼蜂的10.0粒与螟黄赤眼蜂的8.9粒。【结论】在室内人工培育的小菜蛾卵上繁殖的稻螟赤眼蜂与斑螟分索赤眼蜂对小菜蛾卵的寄生能力较强,尤其是斑螟分索赤眼蜂的内禀增长率r_m与小菜蛾的相近,适合以小菜蛾卵作为中间寄主扩大繁殖,稻螟赤眼蜂次之,而螟黄赤眼蜂并不适合以小菜蛾卵作为中间寄主。     

3种赤眼蜂对甜菜夜蛾和小菜蛾卵的寄生功能反应

为评估稻螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead、螟黄赤眼蜂Trichogramma chilonis Ishii和玉米螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma ostriniae Pang et Chen对甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua Hübner卵和小菜蛾Plutella xylostella Linnaeus卵的寄生潜能,本研究在室内条件下测试了3种赤眼蜂对不同密度甜菜夜蛾卵和小菜蛾卵的寄生率、寄生功能反应和搜寻效应。结果表明,稻螟赤眼蜂、螟黄赤眼蜂和玉米螟赤眼蜂对甜菜夜蛾卵和小菜蛾卵均有一定的寄生效应。螟黄赤眼蜂对甜菜夜蛾卵的寄生率、瞬间攻击率、寄生效能和搜寻效应均高于稻螟赤眼蜂和玉米螟赤眼蜂;3种赤眼蜂对小菜蛾卵的寄生率、瞬间攻击率、寄生效能和搜寻效应则表现为：稻螟赤眼蜂>螟黄赤眼蜂>玉米螟赤眼蜂。3种赤眼蜂对两种寄主的寄生功能反应均符合HollingⅡ型模型方程,表现为寄生量均随寄主卵密度的增加而升高,达到一定水平后趋于平稳。赤眼蜂的搜寻效应随寄主卵密度的增加而降低。综合分析可知,螟黄赤眼蜂对于甜菜夜蛾的控害能力优于稻螟赤眼蜂螟和玉米螟赤眼蜂,而稻螟赤眼蜂比螟黄赤眼蜂和玉米螟赤眼蜂更适合用于防控小菜蛾。     

冷藏温度及时间对稻螟赤眼蜂品质的影响

稻螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead是水稻螟虫的重要卵寄生性天敌,对水稻螟虫的自然种群有着一定的控制作用。本文以稻螟赤眼蜂预蛹期作为冷藏时期,在0、3、6、10℃4个温度和0、5、10、15、20、25、30 d 7个冷藏时间条件下,以羽化率、雌蜂百分率、寄生米蛾卵数量、雌蜂寿命、种群趋势指数作为指标,调查了冷藏对稻螟赤眼蜂品质的影响。研究表明,在4个温度下,稻螟赤眼蜂各指标均随着冷藏时间的增加而降低。各冷藏温度中,以0℃最为敏感,冷藏至5 d时,羽化率(38.11%)和寄生米蛾卵数量(19.4粒)显著低于未冷藏处理;冷藏至15 d时,雌蜂寿命由3.1 d降至1.9 d,种群趋势指数由23.36下降至1.07。10℃下,稻螟赤眼蜂各指标下降最为缓慢,冷藏至10 d时,羽化率(85.35%)和寄生米蛾卵数量(24.3个)与冷藏0 d的差异不显著;冷藏至15 d时,雌蜂寿命(2.7 d)与冷藏0 d的差异也不显著,种群趋势指数为12.52。综合各指标,工厂化繁殖稻螟赤眼蜂时,其适宜冷藏温度为10℃,冷藏时间为10 d。     

稻螟赤眼蜂与二种赤眼蜂对水稻二化螟卵寄生竞争作用

稻螟赤眼蜂是我国水稻二化螟的优势卵寄生蜂,本文在室内条件下,初步研究了稻螟赤眼蜂分别与松毛虫赤眼蜂和螟黄赤眼蜂在水稻二化螟卵上的种间竞争作用。结果表明,同时接入稻螟赤眼蜂和松毛虫赤眼蜂时,寄生水稻二化螟卵(40.2粒)及子代雌蜂总数(32.0头)最多,且松毛虫赤眼蜂平均寄生二化螟卵的数量(26.5粒)明显高于单独接蜂的平均寄生的数量,后代雌蜂比率(76.3%)明显低于单独接蜂时的雌蜂比率,发育历期(10.7 d)明显长于接入同种时的发育历期。而稻螟赤眼蜂和螟黄赤眼蜂共存时,螟黄赤眼蜂平均寄生二化螟卵的数量(10.3粒)、后代雌蜂比率(75.3%)以及发育历期(8.0 d)与单独接蜂时相似;同样,当稻螟赤眼蜂与松毛虫赤眼蜂混合接蜂时,稻螟赤眼蜂平均寄生二化螟卵的数量(14.4粒)、后代雌蜂比率(79.0%)以及发育历期(8.6 d)与单独接蜂时相似,但是,当稻螟赤眼蜂与螟黄赤眼蜂混合接蜂时,其后代雌蜂比率(76.7%)明显低于单独接蜂处理,而发育历期(8.8 d)明显长于单独接蜂处理。总的来看,在二化螟卵上,同时接入二种赤眼蜂时,蜂种间存在一定的竞争作用,其中混合接入稻螟赤眼蜂和松毛虫赤眼蜂时,对水稻二化螟的控制效果最佳。     

烟粉虱两种寄生蜂生物学特性及寄主竞争关系研究

室内比较了寄生烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci的两种寄生蜂——丽蚜小蜂Encarsia formosa和浅黄恩蚜小蜂En. sophia的生物学特性,并研究了以烟粉虱为寄主时两种寄生蜂间的竞争关系。结果表明：两者的后足胫节长度间无显著差异。浅黄恩蚜小蜂的产卵器及卵均长于丽蚜小蜂的,但浅黄恩蚜小蜂的待产卵量显著少于丽蚜小蜂。浅黄恩蚜小蜂检测寄主所花时间短于丽蚜小蜂,但检查圈数显著多于丽蚜小蜂,产卵时间以丽蚜小蜂所花时间为多。以4龄初期的烟粉虱为寄主时,丽蚜小蜂的卵期为48 h,而浅黄恩蚜小蜂24 h即完成卵期的发育。后者的蛹历期也显著短于丽蚜小蜂的蛹历期。丽蚜小蜂由卵到成虫的总发育历期比浅黄恩蚜小蜂的要长72 h左右。一头丽蚜小蜂与一头浅黄恩蚜小蜂组合后的总产卵量为14.0粒,略高于两头丽蚜小蜂组合的总产卵量（10.2粒）,显著高于两头浅黄恩蚜小蜂组合的产卵量（9.5粒）;两种蜂组合的处理中被寄生寄主体内的着卵量为1.73粒,显著高于单独一种蜂组合中被寄生寄主的着卵量,后两者分别为1.29和1.39粒。在寄主竞争情况下,在被两种蜂均寄生的寄主体内丽蚜小蜂和浅黄恩蚜小蜂产入的卵量分别为1.21和1.43粒,显著高于仅被一种蜂寄生的寄主体内的对应蜂种的卵量,后者分别为1.06和1.19粒。结果提示两种蜂均能识别对方的存在,且浅黄恩蚜小蜂表现出更强的竞争能力。     

木虱啮小蜂对枸杞、枸杞木虱的行为反应

木虱啮小蜂Tetrastichus sp.是枸杞木虱Paratrioza sinica Yang & Li若虫外寄生蜂,是控制枸杞木虱种群数量动态的重要因子之一。为查明其寻找寄主的信息素,应用四臂嗅觉仪、培养皿两种方法测定了枸杞Lycium barbarum L.的健康叶、虫伤叶、枸杞木虱若虫、若虫与叶复合体、卵与叶复合体和若虫分泌物等不同物质对木虱啮小蜂行为反应的影响。结果证明枸杞木虱若虫分泌物对木虱啮小蜂有明显的吸引作用,四臂嗅觉仪测定时有73%的雌蜂趋向分泌物材料区（P=0.0000）。枸杞健康叶, 虫伤叶及其水、正丁烷提取物, 卵与枸杞叶复合体对木虱啮小蜂无明显吸引作用。木虱若虫水提物及正丁烷提取物在培养皿中可吸引木虱啮小蜂并可引起刺探行为,但嗅觉仪测定时单独若虫并不吸引木虱啮小蜂,只有活体若虫与枸杞叶片复合体才对木虱啮小蜂有吸引作用（P=0.0004）。木虱啮小蜂通过与寄主若虫的接触,可提高其搜索效率。接触过寄主若虫的雌蜂第一次找到寄主的时间显著少于未曾接触寄主若虫的雌蜂,前者只用后者1/4的时间,说明该寄生蜂能对其寄主若虫进行学习。     

玉米螟赤眼蜂（Trichogramma ostriniae）寄主标记信息素和学习经历对产卵行为的影响

报道了标记信息素和雌蜂经历对玉米螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma ostriniae产卵行为的影响。研究结果表明,玉米螟赤眼蜂的寄主标记信息素是在其产卵过程中的收场阶段由产卵器产生的,并且标记在寄主卵表的化学物质;玉米螟赤眼蜂对标记信息素的识别不具有先天性,其必须先用产卵器插入寄生卵来检测是否被寄生,然后其触角不停地敲击,通过学习获得对标记信息素的识别能力,从而放弃了对寄生卵的选择,学习对初始放弃时间有着重要影响,改善了其对寄主搜索效率,这种学习行为是与寄主联系在一起学习的,它能根据寄主被寄生与否而对标记信息素作出反应与不反应。该研究丰富了生态学理论,为其在生防中更好的应用提供了科学依据。     

The role of contact chemoreception in the host location process of an egg parasitoid

Taste allows insects to detect palatable or toxic foods, identify a mate, and select appropriate oviposition sites. The gustatory system strongly contributes to the survival and reproductive success of many species, yet it is rarely studied in insect parasitoids. In order to locate and assess a host in which they will lay their eggs, female wasps actively search for chemical cues using their sensory organs present mainly on the antennae. In this paper, we studied the role of antennal taste sensilla chaetica in the perception of contact semiochemicals in Trissolcus brochymenae (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), an egg parasitoid of the brassicaceae pest Murgantia histrionica (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). Methanolic extracts obtained from male and female hosts elicited action potentials in taste neurons housed in antennal sensilla chaetica, indicating that these sensilla are involved in the perception of non volatile host kairomones. In behavioural assays, wasp females displayed an intense searching behaviour in open arenas treated with host extracts, thus confirming that these kairomones are soluble in polar solvents. We further investigated the extracts by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and found that they contain several compounds which are good candidates for these contact kairomones. This study contributes to better understanding contact chemoreception in egg parasitoids and identifying gustatory receptor neurons involved in the host location process.     

The function of host discrimination and superparasitization in parasitoids

Summary Host discrimination, i.e. the ability to distinguish unparasitized hosts from parasitized ones, and to reject the latter for egg laying is present in many parasitic wasp species. This property is classically considered as an example of contest competition, and is supposed to have a number of functions. However, different species do not react to each other's marks and lay eggs in hosts parasitized by the other species. Apparently the marks used for recognition are specific.Multiparasitization is the best strategy when hosts are scarce and the egg supplies of the parasitoids are not limited. Interspecific host discrimination is not an ESS.Superparasitization within one species would have selective advantage if the number of unparasitized hosts is small and the wasp has a reasonable chance to lay her egg in a host that is not parasitized by herself, and if the chance for her offspring to survive the competitive battle with the first parasitoid larva is not too small. This is shown to be the case.However, marks are not individual and wasps cannot distinguish hosts parasitized by themselves from those parasitized by others. The hypothesis is tested that the egg laying strategy (i.e. the decision to superparasitize) of wasps is dependent on the number of conspecifics that is searching simultaneously for hosts, since this determines the chance that a parasitized host encountered by a wasp is parasitized by herself.It is shown that host discrimination cannot be regarded as a case of contest competition. Other aspects of superparasitization, related to interference and population regulation, sex allocation and encapsulation are briefly discussed.     

Influence of host age and host deprivation on longevity, egg load dynamics and oviposition rate in Microplitis rufiventris

Adult size, longevity, egg load dynamics and oviposition ofMicroplitis rufiventris Kok. which began their development in the first, second, third （preferred hosts） or fourth （non-preferred hosts） instar larvae of Spodoptera littoralis （Boisd.） were studied. The parasitoid size was largely determined by the initial host size at parasitism. Non-ovipositing females derived from older hosts lived for longer periods than those derived from younger ones. However, the ovipositing females, irrespective of their size, lived for almost the same periods. At emergence, the oviducts of adult females contain a significant amount of mature eggs available for oviposition for a few hours on eclosion day. Egg load increases during the early phase of adult life. The amount of additional mature eggs and rate of egg maturation per hour was greater for wasps derived from preferred hosts compared with those in females derived from non-preferred hosts. The pattern of egg production in M. rufiventris females depended on the availability of hosts for parasitization. Host-deprived females depleted the egg complement with aging; the longer the host deprivation, the lower the oviduct egg load. Marked reduction in both realized or potential fecundity of host-deprived females was observed following host availability. Host privation for more than 3 days induced a marked deficit fecundity pattern through the female＇ s life. The realized fecundity was determined by the interaction among host availability, the number of eggs that are matured over the female＇ s life span, oviposition rate and host size from which the female was derived. These results suggest that： （i） M. rufiventris wasp is a weak synovigenic species; （ii） the maturation of additional eggs is inhibited once the maximum oviduct egg load is reached; （iii） the egg load of the newly emerged female is significantly less than the realized fecundity; and （iv） because M. rufiventris females oviposit fewer eggs when they begin depleting their egg supply at 3 days, augmentative releases will require release immediately following emergence to ensure the highest parasitization rate in the field.     

挥发性信息化合物对玉米螟赤眼蜂寄主选择行为的影响

在实验室条件下,利用“Y”型嗅觉仪测定了源于寄主亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) 鳞片、卵表以及不同生理阶段的雌蛾附腺的不同浓度的提取物对玉米螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma ostriniae Pang et Chen寄主选择行为的影响,并对其引诱作用大小进行了比较。结果表明： 亚洲玉米螟鳞片的正己烷提取物在0.5 mg/mL和 1 mg/mL浓度时对玉米螟赤眼蜂有明显的引诱作用; 寄主卵的正己烷提取物在5块卵/mL和10块卵/mL浓度时对玉米螟赤眼蜂有显著的引诱作用,而在40块卵/mL浓度时对玉米螟赤眼蜂有极显著的驱避作用; 玉米螟赤眼蜂对亚洲玉米螟交配未产卵和产卵后前期的雌蛾附腺提取液有反应,而对处女蛾和产卵后期的附腺提取液没反应。卵表提取物和附腺提取物比鳞片提取液对赤眼蜂引诱作用强,两者对赤眼蜂的引诱作用没有明显差异。     

烟粉虱生物型对浅黄恩蚜小蜂寄主选择及个体发育的影响

为探讨寄生蜂在Q型烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci替代B型烟粉虱的过程中是否起作用, 我们在实验室条件(温度27±1℃, 光周期16L∶8D, 相对湿度RH 70%～80%)下, 观察了浅黄恩蚜小蜂Encarsia sophia寄生B型和Q型烟粉虱若虫的行为, 研究了浅黄恩蚜小蜂对B型和Q型烟粉虱若虫的选择性、 烟粉虱生物型对浅黄恩蚜小蜂取食数量及个体发育的影响。结果发现, 浅黄恩蚜小蜂体外检测时间在B型和Q型烟粉虱若虫间差异不显著, 而寄生Q型烟粉虱若虫时的体内检测和产卵时间(190.2±14.6 s）显著高于寄生B型时所用时间(140.0±7.5 s)。在非选择条件下, 浅黄恩蚜小蜂寄生B型烟粉虱若虫的数量(8.1±0.5头)及总产卵量（9.3±0.6粒）显著高于仅提供Q型烟粉虱的寄生数量(6.3±0.5头)及总产卵量(7.0±0.6粒); 而被寄生若虫单头着卵量在处理间差异不显著。在选择性条件下, 该蜂寄生B型烟粉虱若虫量(3.1±0.4头)、总产卵量(3.8±0.5粒)及被寄生若虫单头着卵量(1.2±0.1粒)都显著高于寄生Q型烟粉虱时的情况(1.8±0.3头、1.8±0.4粒、0.7±0.1粒)。被寄生蜂取食的B型与Q型烟粉虱数量间差异不显著, 但对于同一生物型而言, 交配过的雌蜂能够取食更多的烟粉虱若虫。以B型烟粉虱为寄主时, 浅黄恩蚜小蜂雌蜂卵-黑蛹(7.2±0.1 d)、黑蛹-羽化(5.2±0.1 d)的发育时间与以Q型烟粉虱若虫为寄主时的相应发育时间(7.3±0.1 d, 5.6±0.1 d)间无显著性差异。以B型烟粉虱为寄主时寄生蜂的羽化率（73.55%±1.42%）与以Q型烟粉虱为寄主时的羽化率（68.42%±13.01%）间差异不显著。这些结果表明, 虽然浅黄恩蚜小蜂发育时间、 羽化率在烟粉虱2种生物型间无显著差异, 但该小蜂倾向于B型烟粉虱若虫作为寄主, 而且, 以B型烟粉虱若虫为寄主时, 小蜂的产卵量和寄生若虫数量均增加。但田间浅黄恩蚜小蜂的存在是否有助于Q型烟粉虱成为B型和Q型混合种群的优势种群, 还需进一步研究。     

Costs and benefits of host feeding in the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma turkestanica

Females of the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma turkestanica Meyer (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) generally host feed after ovipositing on the first egg of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) they encounter. We measured the impact of host feeding on the fecundity and longevity of females, in absence of host or food, and on the fitness of their progeny. We also determined if the frequency of host feeding is influenced by the humidity level at which T. turkestanica females developed. Host feeding increased egg production by 70% but decreased female longevity. This impact of host feeding on the longevity of females is probably due to the allocation of carbohydrates to egg production at the expense of somatic maintenance. Humidity did not influence the occurrence or duration of host feeding. The size of individuals developing in eggs on which females host fed was smaller, indicating that their fitness was affected.
