枸杞棉蚜形态和生物学特性研究

【目的】棉蚜Aphis gossypii Glover是一种分布广泛的重要农业害虫,其寄主范围较广。近年发现棉蚜严重为害一种新的寄主植物枸杞Lycium barbarum L.。枸杞是名贵中药材和食物,枸杞上生活的棉蚜的生活史特征尚不清楚。为了更好地预测预报和有效防控枸杞棉蚜,减轻枸杞的受害损失,本研究对栽培枸杞上棉蚜的生物学特性进行了系统研究。【方法】在田间条件下,对青海栽培枸杞树上的棉蚜各蚜型和虫态进行了详细调查,记述了各虫态的形态特征、发育历期、生活史、寄主植物、习性、发生规律及天敌种类。【结果】枸杞树上的棉蚜为害嫩枝梢、叶片、花蕾和果实,引起枸杞果产量和品质严重下降。枸杞棉蚜有6种蚜型,即孤雌蚜(有翅型和无翅型)、性母蚜、性蚜(性雄蚜和性雌蚜)和干母蚜,蚜型间的形态有明显差异,可用于区别不同的生活史阶段。枸杞棉蚜原寄主是枸杞,在青海一年发生10~16代,以滞育卵在枸杞树干和树枝上越冬,翌年4月上中旬开始孵化产生干母,5月产生无翅孤雌蚜进行孤雌生殖,6月开始产生有翅孤雌蚜,在田间迁飞扩散,7月和8月田间出现两次蚜虫数量高峰,孤雌蚜一直延续至9月,田间开始产生性母蚜、性雄蚜和性雌蚜,在枸杞树上进行有性生殖,10月中旬是交配、产卵高峰期,随后卵进入滞育越冬。若虫共4龄。无翅型若蚜期平均10.22±3.32 d,有翅型若蚜期平均9.55±2.53 d;无翅型成蚜寿命平均10.10±1.07 d,有翅型成蚜寿命平均8.97±1.34 d;1代无翅型蚜虫总寿命平均20.32±6.31 d,有翅型蚜虫总寿命平均18.52±4.51 d;孤雌蚜繁殖后代中无翅型若蚜数量平均为17.86±5.66头/雌,有翅型若蚜数量平均为15.33±3.76头/雌。枸杞田捕食和寄生棉蚜的优势天敌有多异瓢虫Hippodamia variegata(Goeze)、七星瓢虫Coccinella septempunctata L.、丽草蛉Chrysopa formosa Brauer和蚜茧蜂。【结论】枸杞树上棉蚜生活周期为全周期型。与其他寄主上的棉蚜比较,枸杞棉蚜体型更大、发育期更长、繁殖后代个数明显较少。在枸杞树上种群数量一年发生有2个高峰期,分别在7月和8月,有别于前人报道的其他寄主上棉蚜种群数量的1个高峰期出现在5-6月。这些差异可能与棉蚜对枸杞寄主和青藏高原环境产生生态适应性有关,其适应机制需进一步探索。

采用RAPD方法,对全周期桃蚜的有翅产雌性母蚜、无翅性母蚜、雄蚜、卵、干母、干雌、有翅迁移蚜等蚜型的DNA遗传多态性进行了分析。结果表明：卵的DNA多态性最大,性蚜次之,孤雌生殖蚜最小;卵与其它蚜型之间在遗传上具最大差异,其中与孤雌生蚜的差异大于与性蚜的;干母、干雌和迁移蚜之间的遗传关系最近。     

恩施烟区无翅桃蚜在烤烟田空间动态的地统计学分析

恩施烟区是湖北省最大烟叶生产基地,桃蚜Myzuspercicae(Sulzer)是恩施烟叶最重要的害虫之一,桃蚜在田间的发生以及传播的病毒病害逐年加重,给烟业生产带来巨大损失。进一步了解桃蚜发生动态和空间分布规律,将提高对桃蚜的预测效果并为其综合防治提供理论依据。烟区和烟田之间的迁移以有翅蚜为主,田块内部的种群动态和发生规律,无翅桃蚜发挥着更加重要的作用。受寄主生理生化特性影响,不同烟叶生育期,桃蚜空间结构的差异需要进一步验证。经典的统计学方法以纯随机变量为基础,而昆虫种群的田间分布存在空间相关性,地学统计学承认空间相关性的存在,为区域化变量的空间分布分析提供新的理论和方法。在烟叶不同生育期进行无翅桃蚜的田间密度调查,运用地统计学的方法分析了其空间特征和发生动态,模拟了无翅桃蚜在烟叶不同生育期的田间分布图,并对无翅桃蚜在不同烟叶生育期田间分布格局的相关性进行了分析。结果表明:无翅桃蚜在烟叶苗期密度最小为(5.59±4.07)头/株,烟叶旺长期虫口密度最大为(14.5±9.6)头/株;种群密度变异系数均较大(0.6147-0.7281),表明其空间分布的不均匀性,并随密度的增大而减小,表明种群密度的增大一定程度上提高了种群结构的稳定性。烟叶苗期的种群分布曲线峰度最大,表现出更高的聚集性。无翅桃蚜在烟叶苗期的135°方向和团棵期的45。方向表现为随机分布。烟叶苗期的0°方向和45°方向可用线性有基台模型拟合,其他均可用球形+指数套合模型拟合,判断球形+指数套合模型是无翅桃蚜田间分布的主要模型,属于聚集型分布的范畴。块金值、基台值和变程均随田间虫口密度的增大而增大,苗期的随机程度(0.1905—0.7186)明显大于其他时期(0.0116—0.1620)。无翅桃蚜空间分布模拟图可以清晰地看出无翅桃蚜苗期迁移,旺长期后逐渐稳定的特性。无翅桃蚜的田间分布在烟叶苗期与团棵期无明显相关性,而团棵期与旺长期以及旺长期与成熟期显著相关,再次证明烟叶苗期到团棵期,无翅桃蚜的田间分布发生较大迁移,而团棵期以后基本定殖。烟叶苗期的无翅桃蚜高度聚集在少数烟株上,及早预防可以减少烟叶苗期虫口基数,有利于桃蚜种群数量的控制。首次将平面坐标系划分为4个方向,更加准确、全面地描述昆虫种群的空间分布特征。

有翅和无翅豌豆蚜中翅型分化信号通路相关微小RNA及其靶基因的表达差异

【目的】前期研究发现麦长管蚜Sitobion avenae孤雌蚜有翅和无翅个体中存在很多差异表达的微小RNA(microRNA, miRNA),本研究旨在进一步明确这些miRNA在豌豆蚜Acyrthosiphon pisum中发挥作用的发育阶段,探索miRNA调控孤雌蚜翅两型性分化的机制。【方法】选择在麦长管蚜有翅蚜和无翅蚜中显著差异表达,且靶基因为蜕皮激素、胰岛素信号通路及翅型发育关键基因的5个miRNA(Let-7,miR-92a, miR-92b, miR-92a-1-p5和miR-277),利用qPCR检测这些miRNA及其靶标基因在豌豆蚜3-4龄若蚜和成虫有翅和无翅个体中的表达谱;同时利用双荧光素酶活性检测法对上述miRNA的靶基因进行验证。【结果】表达谱分析发现,这5个miRNA在豌豆蚜成虫中表达量均高于其在若蚜中的表达量,而其预测的靶基因在4龄若蚜中的表达量均高于其在成虫中的表达量,表明miRNA对其靶基因的调控作用可能集中在成虫阶段。分析豌豆蚜有翅和无翅个体中5个miRNA的表达情况发现,在成虫有翅个体中5个miRNA的表达量均高于无翅个体中的,其中miR-277表达差异最显著,成虫有翅个体中的表达量是无翅个体中表达量的7.5倍;其次为Let-7,表达差异达3倍。而Let-7在3龄有翅若蚜和无翅若蚜中表达差异最显著,有翅个体中的表达量是无翅个体中的37.8倍;其次为miR-277,表达差异达7.6倍。比较5个miRNA与其靶基因在豌豆蚜3-4龄若蚜及成虫有翅和无翅个体中的表达发现,miRNA Let-7和miR-92b的表达趋势分别与其靶基因abrupt和Foxo的基本相反。荧光素酶活性检测结果显示,Let-7的真实靶标为abrupt,共转染Let-7模拟物后与对照相比,荧光素酶活性下降53%,达极显著水平。其他miRNA与靶标基因的互作不显著。【结论】首次发现miRNA对豌豆蚜孤雌蚜翅型分化相关基因的调控可能发生在成虫阶段。Let-7可能通过调控abrupt基因参与孤雌蚜翅型分化。该研究为进一步探索miRNA参与孤雌蚜翅两型性分化的机制奠定了基础。     

禾谷缢管蚜复眼外部形态的扫描电镜观察

【目的】通过比较禾谷缢管蚜Rhopalosiphum padi两种生活史(全周期型和不全周期型)及5种蚜型(有翅孤雌蚜、无翅孤雌蚜、雄蚜、雌性蚜和产雌性母)成蚜复眼外部形态,分析了其视觉能力差异,为进一步探索禾谷缢管蚜生殖转换及寄主搜寻机制提供参考。【方法】利用扫描电镜技术,观察全周期型和不全周期型禾谷缢管蚜无翅孤雌蚜及其低温短日照(12℃, 光周期8L∶16D)诱导条件下全周期型所产5种蚜型成蚜的复眼外部形态。【结果】禾谷缢管蚜成蚜复眼着生于头部触角基部,呈卵圆形,小眼间无感觉毛。全周期型和不全周期型禾谷缢管蚜无翅孤雌蚜的复眼大小(长轴直径及短轴直径)、复眼弧高、小眼数量和小眼直径均没有显著差异。而这5个复眼指标在低温短日照诱导全周期型禾谷缢管蚜产生的5种蚜型的成蚜中均存在显著性差异,其中,雄蚜、有翅孤雌蚜和产雌性母的复眼区域较大,小眼数量较多;雌性蚜的复眼区域最小,小眼数量也最少。【结论】综合以上指标结果,推测5种蚜型的视觉能力由大到小是：雄蚜＞有翅孤雌蚜＞产雌性母＞无翅孤雌蚜＞雌性蚜。复眼和小眼的这些差异可能与禾谷缢管蚜生殖转换及寄主搜寻存在一定的联系。

Variation in wing dimorphism of oriental mole cricket Gryllotalpa orientalis: Comparative study in Okinawa and Hyogo populations

The oriental mole cricket Gryllotalpa orientalis exhibits variation in wing dimorphism. In an Okinawa population, no short‐winged individuals were observed, and wing dimorphism has not been detected. Flight behavior of G. orientalis was observed from April to October in Okinawa. In contrast, a Hyogo population exhibited seasonal wing dimorphism and long‐winged individuals appear from June to September. The flight period of the long‐winged morph coincided with this period. Short‐winged individuals appeared from September to the following June and they never fly. Both populations showed univoltine life cycles. Considering the possible flight period, wing pattern and life cycle of mole crickets in these two areas, it is presumed that flightlessness is expected to arise when adults can not experience suitable temperatures for flight activity.     

Wing Dimorphisms and the Evolution of Migratory Polymorphisms among the Insecta

Many species of insects exhibit wing dimorphism, one morph havingfully developed wings and the other morph having reduced wingsand being incapable of flight. These wing dimorphisms providevisible manifestations of migratory polymorphisms. Since wingedindividuals do not, in principle, have to fly, the existenceof forms with reduced wings suggests that there is a tradeoffbetween flight capability and other fitness components. Comparisonsof the life histories of the fully winged and wing reduced morphsdemonstrate that this tradeoff is most commonly expressed asa decrease in the age of first reproduction and increased fecundityin the morph with reduced wings. Given these tradeoffs, theevolution of wing dimorphism will depend upon its genetic basis,including correlations with other life history components. Areview of the recent literature suggests that the heritabilityof wing morphology is high, and we suggest that this high heritabilitycould be maintained, in part, by antagonistic pleiotropy. In dimorphic species, the winged morph is generally consideredto be the migrant form. However, there are significant correlations,both within and among species, between the proportion of wingedindividuals, the proportion of winged individuals with functionalflight muscles, and the flight propensity of those individuals.This suggests that the proportion of winged individuals andthe propensity of the winged morph to migrate are intimatelyconnected at both the physiological and population level. Therefore,the study of the evolution of wing dimorphism is important notonly in its own right but also as a model of how migratory propensityevolves in monomorphically winged species.     

HOW TO COMPENSATE FOR COSTLY SEXUALLY SELECTED TAILS: THE ORIGIN OF SEXUALLY DIMORPHIC WINGS IN LONG-TAILED BIRDS

Recent work on birds suggests that certain morphological differences between the sexes may have evolved as an indirect consequence of sexual selection because they offset the cost of bearing extravagant ornaments used for fighting or mate attraction. For example, long-tailed male sunbirds and widowbirds also have longer wings than females, perhaps to compensate for the aerodynamic costs of tail elaboration. We used comparative data from 57 species to investigate whether this link between sexual dimorphism in wing and tail length is widespread among long-tailed birds. We found that within long-tailed families, variation in the extent of tail dimorphism was associated with corresponding variation in wing dimorphism. One nonfunctional explanation of this result is simply that the growth of wings and tails is controlled by a common developmental mechanism, such that long-tailed individuals inevitably grow long wings as well. However, this hypothesis cannot account for a second pattern in our data set: as predicted by aerodynamic theory, we found that, comparing across long-tailed families, sexual dimorphism in wing length varied with tail shape as well as with sex differences in tail length. Thus, wing dimorphism was generally greater in species with aerodynamically costly graduated tails than in birds with cheaper, streamer-shaped tails. This result was not caused by confounding phylogenetic effects, because it persisted when phylogeny was controlled for, using an independent comparisons method. Our findings therefore confirm that certain aspects of sexual dimorphism may sometimes have evolved through selection for traits that reduce the costs of elaborate sexually selected characters. We suggest that future work aimed at understanding sexual selection by investigating patterns of sexual dimorphism should attempt to differentiate between the direct and indirect consequences of sexual selection.     

昆虫体型及性体型二型性的地理变异

体型是昆虫基本的形态特性,它会影响到昆虫几乎所有的生理和生活史特性。同种昆虫不同地理种群在体型上常表现出明显的渐变,导致这些渐变的环境因素包括温度、湿度、光照、寄主植物、种群密度等,并且多种环境因素也会对昆虫种群内个体体型产生影响。雌雄个体的体型存在差异,称性体型二型性。性体型二型性也显示了地理差异。这些差异形成的途径已经得到详细的分析,其形成机制导致多个假说的提出,这些假说又在多种昆虫中得到验证。本文从同一种昆虫不同种群间、同一种群内、雌雄虫个体间3个水平,对种内昆虫体型变异的方式,影响昆虫种群间体型变异和种群内昆虫体型的变异的环境因素,以及昆虫性体型二型性及其地理变异的现象等方面的研究进行了综述,并对未来的相关研究提供了建议。     

The evolution of sexual size dimorphism in the house finch. III. Developmental basis

Sexual size dimorphism of adults proximately results from a combination of sexually dimorphic growth patterns and selection on growing individuals. Yet, most studies of the evolution of dimorphism have focused on correlates of only adult morphologies. Here we examined the ontogeny of sexual size dimorphism in an isolated population of the house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus). Sexes differed in growth rates and growth duration; in most traits, females grew faster than males, but males grew for a longer period. Sexual dimorphism in bill traits (bill length, width, depth) and in body traits (wing, tarsus, and tail length; mass) developed during different periods of ontogeny. Growth of bill traits was most different between sexes during the juvenile period (after leaving the nest), whereas growth of body traits was most sexually dimorphic during the first few days after hatching. Postgrowth selection on juveniles strongly influenced sexual dimorphism in all traits; in some traits, this selection canceled or reversed dimorphism patterns produced by growth differences between sexes. The net result was that adult sexual dimorphism, to a large degree, was an outcome of selection for survival during juvenile stages. We suggest that previously documented fast and extensive divergence of house finch populations in sexual size dimorphism may be partially produced by distinct environmental conditions during growth in these populations.     

Why is there so much genetic variation for wing dimorphism?

Wing dimorphism appears in general to be determined either by a single locus, 2 allele system in which brachyptery is dominant, or by the additive action of numerous loci. In the latter case studies indicate that the heritability is typically quite large. It is generally postulated that wing dimorphism is under strong selection: why then is genetic variation not eroded? In this paper I consider three possible explanations. First, genetic variation may not be exposed to selection because environmental heterogeneity effectively makes heritability zero. Because wing dimorphisms are known to evolve it seems unlikely that this is the primary factor. Second, directional selection on a threshold trait may push the population almost to monomorphism but erodes genetic variance at a very slow rate. This mechanism cannot preserve variation but makes it possible for other factors to more easily maintain variability. Finally, I demonstrate that in a heterogeneous environment spatio-temporal variation in fitness will itself maintain a genetic polymorphism for wing dimorphism.     

Dimorphism of wings, wing-folding and wing-toiletry devices in the ladybird, Rhyzobius litura (F.) (Goleoptera: Goccinellidae), with a discussion of inter-population variation in this and other wing-dimorphic beetle species

Dimorphism of tergal wing-folding spicule patches and wing-toiletry fringes accompanies wing dimorphism in the ladybird, Rhyzobius litura. Such dimorphism of 'ancillary' structures is of rare occurrence in the Coleoptera; other instances are discussed. Data are presented concerning the incidence of long and short winged individuals of R. litura in samples from six populations in southern England. Factors likely to influence the relative proportions of the morphs in small populations, and in samples of different kinds, are discussed. Evidence that inter-population variation in the incidence of macropterous individuals has a 'geographical' component in R. litura is inconclusive.     

Sexual dimorphism in wing beat frequency in relation to eye span in stalk‐eyed flies (Diopsidae)

Although male ornaments may provide benefits to individuals bearing them, such structures may also entail fitness costs. Selection should favour aspects of the phenotype that act to reduce such costs, yet such compensatory traits are often ignored in studies of sexual selection. If a male ornament increases predation risk via reduced locomotor performance, then there may be selection for changes in morphological traits to compensate for behavioural or biomechanical changes in how individuals use their morphology (or both). We took a comparative approach aiming to test whether changes in wing beat frequency are evolutionarily correlated with increases in male ornamentation across stalk‐eyed fly species. Previous studies have shown that increased male eye span is evolutionarily correlated with increased wing size; thus, we tested whether there is additional compensation via increases in size‐adjusted wing beat frequency. The results obtained revealed that relative wing beat frequency is negatively related to relative eye span in males, and sexual dimorphism in wing beat frequency is negatively related to dimorphism in eye span. These findings, in addition to our finding that eye span dimorphism is positively related to aspect ratio dimorphism, suggest that male stalk‐eyed flies compensate primarily by increasing wing size and shape, which may then have resulted in the subsequent evolutionary reduction in wing beat frequency. Thus, exaggerated ornaments can result in evolutionary modifications in wing morphology, which in turn lead to adjustments in flapping kinematics, illustrating the tight envelope of trade‐offs when compensating for exaggerated ornaments. © 2011 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 104 , 670–679.     

Variability of morphological traits in Drosophila bipectinata complex

Phenotypic or morphological differences among different populations and sexual dimorphism in certain metric traits were analysed in D. bipectinata complex. It was noticed that different populations of D. bipectinata species group harbour large amount of variation for these characters. In all the populations, morphometric characters such as lengths of femur, tibia and wing length, wing width, number of sternopleural bristles and bristles on epandrium varied significantly among populations. The study indicates that the morphological variations are due to the interplay of genetic and environmental endowments. Further, females had significantly larger values, for lengths of femur, tibia and wing length, wing width and sternopleural bristles.     

Quantitative morphometrical analysis of a North African population of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Drosophila melanogaster</Emphasis>: sexual dimorphism,and comparison with European populations

Genetic variability of quantitative traits was investigated in aMoroccan population of Drosophila melanogaster, with an isofemale line design. Results were compared with data previously obtained from French populations. Although the environmental and thermal conditions are very different in France and Morocco, only two significant differences were observed: a shorter wing and a lighter abdomen pigmentation in Morocco. It is, therefore, concluded that Moroccan D. melanogaster are quite typical temperate flies, belonging to the Palaearctic region, and very different from the ancestral Afrotropical populations. Almost all traits were genetically variable, as shown by significant intraclass correlations among lines. Genetic correlations were highly significant among three size-related traits, while much lower between size and bristle numbers. Fluctuating asymmetry was greater for abdominal bristles than for sternopleural bristles. Sex dimorphism, analysed as a female/male ratio, was identical in French and Moroccan populations. Examination of the thorax length/thorax width ratio showed that the thorax is more elongated in females. Sexual dimorphism of wing length was significantly more correlated to thorax width than to thorax length. The results illustrate the value of measuring numerous quantitative traits on the same flies for characterizing the genetic architecture of a natural population. In several cases, and especially for genetic correlations, some interesting suggestions could be made, which should be confirmed, or invalidated, by more extensive investigations.
