假眼小绿叶蝉对茶梢挥发物的行为反应

【目的】研究假眼小绿叶蝉Empoasca vitis G?the对健康茶梢和蝉害茶梢挥发物的行为反应,筛选出可引诱假眼小绿叶蝉的茶梢挥发物。【方法】以动态吸附法收集健康茶梢和蝉害茶梢挥发物,用气相色谱–质谱联用仪(GC-MS)进行定性定量分析,借助于Y形嗅觉仪检测多种挥发物引诱假眼小绿叶蝉成虫的活性。【结果】从健康茶梢和蝉害茶梢中共鉴定出30种挥发物组分,其中烯烃类含量较大。健康茶梢和蝉害茶梢挥发物中共有组分有13种,蝉害之后其含量皆上升,其中Z-b-罗勒烯和乙酸叶醇酯的含量分别是健康茶梢中的142.27倍、12.90倍。蝉害茶梢中新出现的组分有12种,其中紫苏烯含量较高。在10-2、10~(-4)、10-6 g/mL浓度下,乙酸叶醇酯表现出极显著的引诱水平(P<0.01);紫苏烯在10~(-2)和10~(-4) g/mL浓度下表现出极显著引诱水平(P<0.01);10~(-4) g/mL浓度下,Z-b-罗勒烯和D-柠檬烯极显著引诱假眼小绿叶蝉(P<0.01);10~(-4) g/mL芳樟醇、10~(-6) g/mL乙酸正丁酯和10~(-6) g/mL D-柠檬烯呈现出显著引诱水平(P<0.05);混合物组分Blend1和Blend2分别表现出极显著和显著引诱水平;而10~(-6) g/mLa-法尼烯显著排斥假眼小绿叶蝉(P<0.05)。【结论】假眼小绿叶蝉成虫对健康茶梢和蝉害茶梢挥发物多种组分具有不同的行为反应,引诱效果较强的单组分或混合组分的选定可为田间引诱效果试验提供参考。     

茶梢信息物引诱叶蝉三棒缨小蜂效应的检测

为确定引诱假眼小绿叶蝉卵寄生蜂叶蝉三棒缨小蜂的茶梢信息物并检测其活性,遂于室内用Y管嗅觉仪进行行为测定,结果表明:1假眼小绿叶蝉口针刺吸和产卵管刺伤茶梢嫩茎、口针刺吸的茶树芽叶、以及口针刺吸芽叶近邻的健康茶叶的气味皆强烈引诱该蜂;2以健康茶梢、叶蝉为害茶梢挥发物中27种主要成分的3个剂量即10~(-6)、10~(-4)g/m L和10~(-2)g/m L正己烷溶液为味源,进行嗅觉反应测定,发现顺-茉莉酮、芳樟醇、橙花醇、正戊醇、正己醇、1-戊烯-3-醇、α-松油烯、α-松油醇和蒈烯的1或2个剂量显著引诱该蜂。茶园中:110~(-4)g/m L顺-茉莉酮、10~(-4)g/m L芳樟醇和10~(-4)g/m L 1-戊烯-3-醇三组分的等量混合物显著诱集叶蝉三棒缨小蜂;10-2g/m L橙花醇、10-2g/m L正戊醇、10-2g/m Lα-松油烯、10~(-6)g/m L正己醇、10~(-6)g/m Lα-松油醇和10~(-6)g/m L蒈烯六组分等量混合物的诱效更强;2加入液体石蜡作为缓释剂,可将该6组分诱集剂的半衰期延长0.7d;36:00—10:00缨小蜂比较活跃,这一时段诱捕的缨小蜂数占总诱捕数!50%。认为:假眼小绿叶蝉为害的茶梢上受害和未受害芽叶含有的顺-茉莉酮等部分挥发性化合物强烈地引诱叶蝉三棒缨小蜂,当它们按恰当比例组成诱集剂之后,则诱效显著增强,再与素馨黄色彩组合,诱效更强。     

显著调控假眼小绿叶蝉行为的迷迭香挥发物鉴定

茶园生态系中生长着众多草本和木本植物,迷迭香就是其中常见的木本杂草。以其幼嫩部分为味源、茶园重要害虫假眼小绿叶蝉为试虫,用Y形管嗅觉仪做行为测定,以洁净空气为CK,发现随着味源剂量增加,其引诱的假眼小绿叶蝉数增至一个数值再减少,二者呈抛物线关系。从迷迭香挥发物中鉴定出46种化合物,包含醇类9种、酮类4种、酯类4种、酸类1种、烯烃类18种、烷烃类7种、醚类1种、醛类1种和酚类1种。醇类含量最大,占总量52.20%;单组分中桉树脑、左旋α-蒎烯和马鞭草烯酮的含量最大,分别占总量的42.54%、10.37%和6.82%。使用迷迭香挥发物中含量较大的25种组分为味源,每味源配制几种剂量,以正己烷为CK,用Y形管嗅觉仪进行行为测定,发现10-2g/mL樟脑、10-4g/mL石竹烯、10-6g/mL和10-8g/mLα-水芹烯、10-4g/mL和10-10g/mLα-松油醇、10-10g/mL和10-8g/mL桉树脑显著引诱假眼小绿叶蝉;而10-10g/mLβ-蒎烯显著排斥假眼小绿叶蝉。经分析认为:茶园中除了茶树之外,还有其它植物挥发物引诱假眼小绿叶蝉,可为筛选茶园中诱虫植物提供参考。     

迷迭香挥发物不同组合对假眼小绿叶蝉行为的调控

为探讨茶园群落中非茶植物气味引诱或驱避重要茶树害虫假眼小绿叶蝉的效应,遂将茶园常见杂草迷迭香挥发物中樟脑、α-松油醇和石竹烯分别配成10-2g/m L剂量,再等量组成混合物,在每个橡皮头上载100#L制成诱芯,附于素馨黄粘板上,于茶园中诱捕假眼小绿叶蝉,发现这种三组分诱芯明显地驱避假眼小绿叶蝉。将行为反应中分别对假眼小绿叶蝉呈现显著引诱效应的10-2g/m L樟脑、10-4g/m L石竹烯、10-6g/m Lα-水芹烯、10-4g/m Lα-松油醇和10-8g/m L桉树脑等量配成五组分混合物,同法制成诱芯,附于素馨黄粘板,诱捕假眼小绿叶蝉。发现五组分诱芯:(1)显著引诱假眼小绿叶蝉,诱效稍强于现价段茶园中使用的源于茶梢挥发物的诱芯;(2)每日诱捕的假眼小绿叶蝉数与天数呈抛物线关系;(3)加入液体石蜡作为缓释剂,可将诱效的半衰期延长2.5—4.0d;(4)18:00—6:00诱得的假眼小绿叶蝉数量占全天的70%—75%。分析认为:非茶植物迷迭香的挥发物中含有显著引诱假眼小绿叶蝉信息物质,这类信息物质制成的五组分诱芯的诱效较强,可以作为一种防治假眼小绿叶蝉的手段,早晨和黄昏是最佳诱捕时分。

我国西南元江大理茶的挥发性成分及其抗氧化活性(英文)

大理茶 ( Camellia taliensis) 为山茶科山茶属茶组植物,主要分布于云南横断山脉澜沧江至伊洛瓦底江流域,即从云南的西部及西南部至缅甸北部。在其分布区,大理茶亦被称为野生大茶树,常用于加工制作茶叶。采用水蒸气蒸馏法、GC 及 GC/MS 联用技术,首次对大理茶的鲜幼叶和鲜幼叶及老叶分别制成的绿茶中的挥发性成分进行提取和分析,共鉴定出 91 个化合物。研究结果表明,大理茶鲜幼叶的主要香气成分为棕榈酸 ( 30. 52%) ,亚油酸 ( 19. 82%) ,植醇 ( 8. 75%) 和亚麻酸乙酯 ( 2. 54%) 等有机酸及其酯和二萜类,而制成绿茶后,其主要香气成分则为芳樟醇 ( 28. 43%) ,脱氢芳樟醇 ( 1. 13%) ,α-松油醇( 11. 68%) ,橙花醇 ( 4. 92%) 和香叶醇 ( 12. 34%) 等单萜醇类成分。从大理茶鲜叶到由其制成的绿茶,香气成分发生了较大变化,形成了 28 种原鲜叶中未检测到的香气成分,其中,( Z,Z,Z) -9,12,15-十八烷三烯-1-醇的含量分别达到 1. 21% ( 幼叶绿茶) 和 11. 2% ( 老叶绿茶) ,是大理茶制作的绿茶的特征香气成分。DPPH 和 ABTS+自由基清除实验结果显示大理茶鲜叶及其制成的绿茶的挥发性成分均具有一定的抗氧化活性,但均弱于茶多酚的抗氧化活性。

Foreign exploration for Scirtothrips perseae Nakahara (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and associated natural enemies on avocado (Persea americana Miller)

Scirtothrips perseae Nakahara was discovered attacking avocados in California, USA, in 1996. Host plant surveys in California indicated that S. perseae has a highly restricted host range with larvae being found only on avocados, while adults were collected from 11 different plant species. As part of a management program for this pest, a “classical” biological control program was initiated and foreign exploration was conducted to delineate the home range of S. perseae, to survey for associated natural enemies and inventory other species of phytophagous thrips on avocados grown in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad, and Brazil. Foreign exploration efforts indicate that S. perseae occurs on avocados grown at high altitudes (>1500 m) from Uruapan in Mexico south to areas around Guatemala City in Guatemala. In Costa Rica, S. perseae is replaced by an undescribed congener as the dominant phytophagous thrips on avocados grown at high altitudes (>1300 m). No species of Scirtothrips were found on avocados in the Dominican Republic, Trinidad, or Brazil. In total, 2136 phytophagous thrips were collected and identified, representing over 47 identified species from at least 19 genera. The significance of these species records is discussed. Of collected material 4% were potential thrips biological control agents. Natural enemies were dominated by six genera of predatory thrips (Aeolothrips, Aleurodothrips, Franklinothrips, Leptothrips, Scolothrips, and Karnyothrips). One genus each of parasitoid (Ceranisus) and predatory mite (Balaustium) were found. Based on the results of our sampling techniques, prospects for the importation of thrips natural enemies for use in a “classical” biological control program in California against S. perseae are not promising.     

Phylogeny of cardinalfishes (Teleostei: Gobiiformes: Apogonidae) and the evolution of visceral bioluminescence

The cardinalfishes (Apogonidae) are a diverse clade of small, mostly reef-dwelling fishes, for which a variety of morphological data have not yielded a consistent phylogeny. We use DNA sequence to hypothesize phylogenetic relationships within Apogonidae and among apogonids and other acanthomorph families, to examine patterns of evolution including the distribution of a visceral bioluminescence system. In conformance with previous studies, Apogonidae is placed in a clade with Pempheridae, Kurtidae, Leiognathidae, and Gobioidei. The apogonid genus Pseudamia is recovered outside the remainder of the family, not as sister to the superficially similar genus Gymnapogon. Species sampled from the Caribbean and Western Atlantic (Phaeoptyx, Astrapogon, and some Apogon species) form a clade, as do the larger-bodied Glossamia and Cheilodipterus. Incidence of visceral bioluminescence is found scattered throughout the phylogeny, independently for each group in which it is present. Examination of the fine structure of the visceral bioluminescence system through histology shows that light organs exhibit a range of morphologies, with some composed of complex masses of tubules (Siphamia, Pempheris, Parapriacanthus) and others lacking tubules but containing chambers formed by folds of the visceral epithelium (Acropoma, Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia). Light organs in Siphamia, Acropoma, Pempheris and Parapriacanthus are distinct from but connected to the gut; those in Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia are simply portions of the intestinal tract, and are little differentiated from the surrounding tissues. The presence or absence of symbiotic luminescent bacteria does not correlate with light organ structure; the tubular light organs of Siphamia and chambered tubes of Acropoma house bacteria, those in Pempheridae and the other Apogonidae do not.     

Molecular phylogeny of Phebalium (Rutaceae: Boronieae) and related genera based on the nrDNA regions ITS 1+2

Parsimony analyses of the internal transcribed spacer regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS 1 & ITS 2) for 38 taxa sampled from the Phebalium group (Rutaceae: Boronieae) and two outgroups confirm that, with the exception of Phebalium sensu stricto and Rhadinothamnus, six of the currently recognised genera within the group are monophyletic. The data indicate that Phebaliums. str. is paraphyletic with respect to Microcybe, and Rhadinothamnus is paraphyletic with respect to Chorilaena. Rhadinothamnus and Chorilaena together are the sister group to Nematolepis. Drummondita, included as an outgroup taxon, clustered within the ingroup as sister to Muiriantha and related to Asterolasia.The phylogeny suggests that the evolution of major clades within a number of these genera (e.g. Phebalium) relates to vicariance events between eastern and south-western Australia. Leionema is an eastern genus, with the most basal taxon being the morphologically distinct Leionema ellipticum from northern Queensland. Leionema also includes one species from New Zealand, but this species (as with some others) proved difficult to sequence and its phylogenetic position remains unknown. Taxonomic changes at the generic level are recommended.The authors wish to thank Paul G.Wilson, PERTH, for advice and discussion, and Paul Forster, BRI, for collecting and providing material of Leionema ellipticum. The project was supported by a Melbourne University Postgraduate Award (to BM), the Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS), Australian Systematic Botany Society and Wolf Den (Australia) Investments.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.

     

Biological control of three floating water weeds,<Emphasis Type="Italic">Eichhornia crassipes,Pistia stratiotes</Emphasis>, and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Salviniamolesta</Emphasis> in the Republic of Congo

Since 1999, four specific weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) were released in the Republic of Congo against three exotic floating water weeds: Neochetina eichhorniae Warner and N. bruchi Hustache against water hyacinth, Neohydronomus affinis Hustache against water lettuce, and Cyrtobagous salviniae Calder and Sands against water fern. Recoveries of exotic weevils were made from all 24 release sites except one, and all four species have established and spread (up to 800 km for water hyacinth weevils). Within a few years of releases, control of water fern and water lettuce was such that fishing and navigation could be resumed, while reductions of water hyacinth populations were only beginning.     

Taxonomic status of the species of the green algal genusNeochloris

Komárek has recently reviewed the various species assigned to the green algal genusNeochloris Starr (Chlorococcales, Chlorococcaceae) and removed those with uninucleate vegetative cells to a new genus,Ettlia. Watanabe & Floyd, unaware ofKomárek's work, also reviewed the species ofNeochloris and distributed them among three genera—Neochloris, Chlorococcopsis gen. nov., andParietochloris gen. nov.—on the basis of details of the covering of the zoospore and the arrangement of the basal bodies of the flagellar apparatus. This paper reconciles these two treatments and makes additional recommendations at the ranks of genus, family, order, and class.

Changes of dung beetle communities from rainforests towards agroforestry systems and annual cultures in Sulawesi (Indonesia)

Little is known about how tropical land-use systems contribute to the conservation of functionally important insect groups, including dung beetles. In a study at the margin of Lore Lindu National Park (a biodiversity hotspot in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia) dung-beetle communities were sampled in natural forest, young secondary forest, agroforestry systems (cacao plantations with shade trees) and annual cultures (maize fields), each with four replicates (n = 16 sites). At each site we used 10 pitfall traps, baited with cattle dung, along a 100 m transect for six 3-day periods. The number of trapped specimens and species richness at the natural forest sites was higher than in all land-use systems, which did not significantly differ. Each land-use system contained, on average, 75% of the species richness of the natural forest, thereby indicating their importance for conservation. However, a two-dimensional scaling plot based on NESS indices (m = 6) indicated distinct dung beetle communities for both forest types, while agroforestry systems and annual cultures exhibited a pronounced overlap. Mean body size of dung beetles was not significantly influenced by land-use intensity. Five of the six most abundant dung beetle species were recorded in all habitats, whereas the abundance of five other species was significantly related to habitat type. Mean local abundance and number of occupied sites were closely correlated, further indicating little habitat specialisation. The low dung beetle diversity (total of 18 recorded species) may be due to the absence of larger mammals in Sulawesi during historical times, even though Sulawesi is the largest island of Wallacea. In conclusion, the dung beetle fauna of the lower montane forest zone in Central Sulawesi appears to be relatively robust to man-made habitat changes and the majority of species did not exhibit strong habitat preferences.
