水稻-褐飞虱-拟水狼蛛食物链的定量研究

应用荧光物质稀土元素铕示踪法对水稻褐飞虱拟水狼蛛食物链进行了定量分析研究。所施荧光物质的三种浓度20 mg/L、50 mg/L和100 mg/L 均为有效浓度,对水稻生长无可见的影响,孕穗期、抽穗期、乳熟期和黄熟期四个生育期水稻、褐飞虱和拟水狼蛛的荧光物含量均随所施荧光物质浓度的增高而增高。褐飞虱对不同生育期水稻的取食量依次为抽穗期>孕穗期>乳熟期>黄熟期,分别为每克褐飞虱生物量在24 h内摄食水稻17.5910 g, 17.4510 g, 13.8290 g和8.7070 g。拟水狼蛛对褐飞虱的捕食量为乳熟期>孕穗期>抽穗期>黄熟期,分别为每克拟水狼蛛生物量24 h捕食褐飞虱3.6380 g, 3.0830 g, 3.0770和2.8000 g。根据田间调查数据换算为每头拟水狼蛛捕食褐飞虱在孕穗期、抽穗期、乳熟期和黄熟期分别为11头、11头、13头和10头。     

荧光物示踪法定量测定水稻-叶蝉-蜘蛛食物链的营养关系

首次采用稀土元素铕荧光物示踪法,对水稻－叶蝉－蜘蛛这一食物链营养关系进行了初步的定量测试,结果表明,所选用的稀土元素铕可以通过该食物链而传递,证明铕用于食物链营养关系定量分析是可行的,早稻孕穗期,晚稻分薛期施铕7d后,其含铕量均表现为叶片＞茎及叶鞘;根据叶蝉取食水稻后测定的含铕量和叶蝉体重的不同进行折算,每100头叶蝉每天可取食水稻0．71－1．13g;根据拟水狼蛛,锥腹肖蛸,食虫沟瘤蛛捕食叶蝉后含铕量计算,每头拟不狼蛛,锥腹肖蛸,食虫沟瘤蛛平均每天捕食叶蝉分别为4．63头,2．81头,1．0头,捕食能力,拟水狼蛛＞锥腹肖蛸＞食虫沟瘤蛛。     

蜘蛛对稻纵卷叶螟和白背飞虱的选择捕食作用

讨论蜘蛛的主要种群拟水狼蛛、食虫瘤胸蛛、粽管巢蛛对稻纵卷叶螟、白背飞虱的选择捕食特性。由结果可见：猎物被捕食量与参试种群编码值（密度）的数量关系可由二次多项式模型技术。当取每科水稻上有稻纵卷叶螟５头,白背飞虱１０头,拟水狼蛛２头,粽管巢蛛２头,食虫瘤胸蛛２头时,蜘蛛种群对白背飞虱有较大的选择捕食比率。     

Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白在水稻-褐飞虱-拟水狼蛛食物链中转移与富集

采用ELISA方法检测了2个转cry1Ab基因水稻（Bt水稻）品系KMD1和KMD2不同生育期叶鞘内Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白的含量及其通过褐飞虱和拟水狼蛛的转移和富集情况。结果表明,这2个品系中抽穗期和黄熟期叶鞘内Cry1Ab的含量均显著低于苗期、分蘖期和孕穗期,KMD1和KMD2中Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白可以通过食物链转移到Bt水稻非靶标害虫褐飞虱及其天敌拟水狼蛛体内。褐飞虱在KMD1或KMD2上取食2 d后,体内均含有Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白,但连续取食2、4、6、8和10 d后,其体内含量并未因取食时间的延长而呈现明显增加的趋势。当拟水狼蛛捕食以KMD1或KMD2为食的褐飞虱时,在捕食2、4、6、8和10 d后,其体内均可检测到Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白,其含量并未随捕食时间的延长而明显上升,但均显著高于相应时间褐飞虱体内的含量。可见,该蛋白可通过水稻转移至褐飞虱,再转移至拟水狼蛛,并存在明显的富集现象,而这种富集并不随蜘蛛捕食时间的延长而加强。拟水狼蛛捕食以KMD1或KMD2为食的褐飞虱时,其捕食量未受到显著影响,其中肠酶粗提物对Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白具有明显的降解作用。     

用ELISA方法研究稻田节肢动物的食物关系

应用酶联免疫吸附试验双抗体夹心法,研究了稻田节肢动物,包括19种捕食性天敌、4种主要水稻害虫及1种中性昆虫之间的食物关系。在检测的19种捕食者中,有15种捕食了白背飞虱,11种捕食了褐飞虱。其中食虫沟瘤蛛、拟水狼蛛、八斑鞘蛛、粽管巢蛛、四斑锯螯蛛和拟环纹豹蛛对两种稻飞虱的捕食阳性率较高。有7种捕食了稻纵卷叶螟幼虫,其中粽管巢蛛、褶管巢蛛、拟环纹豹蛛、青翅蚁形隐翅虫和印度细颈步甲的捕食阳性率较高。拟环纹豹蛛、浙江豹蛛和拟水狼蛛对稻蝗若虫有较高的阳性率。13种捕食者捕食了摇蚊,摇蚊作为替代或补充猎物,对稻田捕食性节肢动物亚群落的重建和发展具有重要意义。在实验检测的基础上,构建了被检测节肢动物猎物与捕食者间的食物关系图。     

几种杀虫剂对拟水狼蛛捕食功能的影响。

研究了稻田常用杀虫剂杀虫双、甲胺磷、扑虱灵3种农药对稻田主要捕食性天敌拟水狼蛛Pirata subpiraticus 捕食褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens 功能的影响。提出用功能减退率来综合评价农药对天敌的影响。结果表明24h杀虫双常用浓度540mg/L、810mg/L对狼蛛的杀伤力为12.63%、27.57%。功能减退率分别高达65.41%和81.3%;甲胺磷100mg/L24h对狼蛛的杀伤力和功能减退率分别为49.8%和68.56%。这2种药剂对狼蛛的作用机制不同,甲胺磷毒性大,狼蛛死亡率高,但对非致死狼蛛的捕食功能减退率比杀虫双处理略小,狼蛛的捕食功能恢复快于杀虫双处理。杀虫双处理的浓度越高,狼蛛的功能减退率越大、功能恢复越慢。扑虱灵对狼蛛的杀伤和功能减退均不大。2种药剂处理后狼蛛功能恢复到正常水平约需7d左右。田间试验表明频繁地使用甲胺磷削弱了天敌功能导致飞虱再猖獗。     

捕食者对空心莲子草叶甲种群的生物胁迫

广食性捕食者广泛捕食植食性昆虫,常被用于有害生物的生物防治,也因此影响植食性昆虫对杂草的生物效果。空心莲子草叶甲(Agasicles hygrophila)(鞘翅目:叶甲科Chrysomelidae)作为入侵恶性杂草空心莲子草(Alternanthera philoxeroides)(苋科:莲子草属Alternanthera)的专性天敌,从美国的弗罗里达州引入中国,在释放地防治空心莲子草取得了较好的防治效果。虽然空心莲子草叶甲在引入地均已建立田间种群并有一定程度的自然扩散,但丰富的食物资源,并未使空心莲子草叶甲的自然种群数量变得繁荣,因此其未能有效抑制空心莲子草的扩散蔓延。在野外调查时发现空心莲子草生境中存在大量广食性捕食者。这些广食性捕食者是抑制空心莲子草叶甲种群数量扩张的生物胁迫因子吗?为此,选择捕食性昆虫龟纹瓢虫(Propylaea japonica)(鞘翅目:瓢虫科Coccinellidae)、蜘蛛类捕食者拟水狼蛛(Pirata subpiraticus)(蜘蛛目:狼蛛科Lycosidae)与斜纹猫蛛(Oxyopes sertatus)(蜘蛛目:猫蛛科Oxyopidae)为捕食者,分别以空心莲子草叶甲各虫态为猎物,构建简单的捕食者-猎物系统,在室内检测了上述3种捕食者对空心莲子草叶甲各虫态在不同密度下的日捕食量,以期了解捕食者对空心莲子草叶甲的捕食作用,客观评估空心莲子草叶甲的生物防治效能。研究结果表明:捕食者龟纹瓢虫、斜纹猫蛛与拟水狼蛛均捕食空心莲子草叶甲的卵粒及1龄、2龄幼虫,斜纹猫蛛与拟水狼蛛捕食3龄幼虫,捕食者的捕食量均随着猎物密度的升高而增加,寻找效应降低。三者均不捕食成虫。除拟水狼蛛对3龄幼虫的捕食用Holling II模型拟合不呈显著相关关系外,其余捕食反应均拟合Holling II模型并显著相关。通过拟合方程得出捕食者对空心莲子草叶甲卵粒的理论日最大捕食量为:斜纹猫蛛10.9粒,拟水狼蛛为6.2粒,龟纹瓢虫为5.6粒;对1龄幼虫的理论日最大捕食量为:斜纹猫蛛为17.1头;拟水狼蛛为35.8头,龟纹瓢虫为10.4头;对2龄幼虫的理论日最大捕食量为:斜纹猫蛛为6.6头,拟水狼蛛为11.2头,龟纹瓢虫为2.9头;对3龄幼虫的理论日最大捕食量为:斜纹猫蛛捕食12.3头,拟水狼蛛为1.1头。研究结果证实了捕食者可通过捕食作用降低空心莲子草叶甲种群密度,削弱空心莲子草叶甲对空心莲子草的控害效能,是空心莲子草叶甲种群存活的生物胁迫因子。建议在提高空心莲子草叶甲田间种群数量,达到对空心莲子有效的持续控制效果方面开展进一步研究。     

荧光物示踪检测主要稻虫对水稻危害程度的初步研究

首次采用荧光物质示踪技术对稻纵卷叶螟幼虫、黑尾叶蝉、白背飞虱、褐飞虱等主要稻虫在水稻的秧茵、分蘖、壮苞3个不同生育期的危害程度进行了定量分析。结果表明：在所施荧光示踪物质6种质量浓度15,10,5,1,0.5,0.1mg/L中,所测稻虫荧光物含量（μg）／鲜质量（g）在15,0.5,0.1mg/L下有显著较高的数值,与水稻荧光和吸收曲线相符,4种稻虫在水稻3个生育期的荧光示踪摄食量比较发现,稻给卷叶螟幼虫与黑尾叶蝉荧光示踪摄食量分蘖期显著高于秧苗期;壮苞期的褐飞虱显著高于分蘖期的白背飞虱。在水稻秧苗期,稻纵卷叶螟幼虫蒌光示踪摄食量显著高于黑尾叶蝉;分蘖期稻纵卷叶螟幼虫与白背飞虱,黑尾叶蝉与白背飞虱荧光示踪摄食量均有显著差异,而稻纵卷叶螟幼虫与黑尾叶蝉的摄食量差异不显著,其大小顺序依次为稻纵卷叶螟幼虫,黑尾叶蝉,白背飞虱。     

用ELISA方法评价捕食性天敌对白背飞虱的捕食效能

用酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）方法测定了9类捕食性节肢动物对白背飞虱的捕食阳性反应率,定量评价了拟水狼蛛对白背飞虱的捕食效能。结果表明：活动能力强,与稻飞虱生境相似的捕食性天敌种类表现出较高的阳性反应率;拟水狼蛛对白背飞虱的捕食效率随水稻的生长而加强,在水稻生长后期,分别为21.53％和43．08％。     

拟水狼蛛在水稻与茭白田之间的转移

拟水狼蛛Pirata subpiraticus是稻田飞虱及其它害虫的主要捕食性天敌。研究表明,拟水狼蛛在水稻移栽后从茭白田大量迁入稻田,而水稻收割前后则转移回茭白田。元素标记试验显示其转移最大距离可达40 m以上。稻田附近的茭白田是拟水狼蛛的主要避难地之一。铷元素直接标记和释放可作为监测捕食性天敌在生境间转移的新方法。

Neutrino intergalactic communication,metal life,and viruses: Part 1 quo vadis ex machina

At one spectrum extreme, Astrobiology conjectures that for exoplanets with Goldilocks conditions, terrestrial-like life is inevitable. Moreover, it is envisaged that via panspermia, terrestrial-like life and its precursors are transferred among galaxies, stars, and within solar systems via transiting comets, asteroids, and planetoids. In addition, expelled stars, which have solar systems, it is inferred, transfer life as well. However, at the other extreme, we propose a paradigm shift that on some planets, subject to non- Goldilocks conditions, metal machine life could arise, ab initio, and evolve viruses, intelligence, and civilizations, conjointly. Accordingly, intelligent mechanized civilizations could readily and efficiently commence space exploration. Furthermore, as a counter paradigm shift, such civilizations could experiment and produce non-metallic life, based on carbon and other non-metal elements, under suitable conditions, related to Goldilocks life. Even a single example of validated interstellar or intergalactic communication received on the Earth would support the existence of life elsewhere. However, the communication platform should not be restricted to electromagnetic radiation. Other platforms should be included as well - one such example, which would require sophisticated technology, is neutrino communication. This is the case for any advanced civilization, be it metal-machine based, biological-based, and carbon-based. In sum, civilizations based on machine life, would be highly productive due to the longevity and hardiness of machine life. However, significant caveats are raised in this brief report, because possibly dissimilar psychologies and intelligence may lead to conflicts between metal machine life and biological life, inter-paradigm conflict.     

Molecular phylogeny of the gobioid fishes (Teleostei: Perciformes: Gobioidei)

The phylogeny of groups within Gobioidei is examined with molecular sequence data. Gobioidei is a speciose, morphologically diverse group of teleost fishes, most of which are small, benthic, and marine. Efforts to hypothesize relationships among the gobioid groups have been hampered by the prevalence of reductive evolution among goby species; such reduction can make identification of informative morphological characters particularly difficult. Gobies have been variously grouped into two to nine families, several with included subfamilies, but most existing taxonomies are not phylogenetic and few cladistic hypotheses of relationships among goby groups have been advanced. In this study, representatives of eight of the nine gobioid familes (Eleotridae, Odontobutidae, Xenisthmidae, Gobiidae, Kraemeriidae, Schindleriidae, Microdesmidae, and Ptereleotridae), selected to sample broadly from the range of goby diversity, were examined. Complete sequence from the mitochondrial ND1, ND2, and COI genes (3573 bp) was used in a cladistic parsimony analysis to hypothesize relationships among the gobioid groups. A single most parsimonious topology was obtained, with decay indices indicating strong support for most nodes. Major phylogenetic conclusions include that Xenisthmidae is part of Eleotridae, and Eleotridae is paraphyletic with respect to a clade composed of Gobiidae, Microdesmidae, Ptereleotridae, Kraemeriidae, and Schindleriidae. Within this five-family clade, two clades are recovered. One includes Gobionellinae, which is paraphyletic with respect to Kraemeriidae, Sicydiinae, Oxudercinae, and Amblyopinae. The other contains Gobiinae, also paraphyletic, and including Microdesmidae, Ptereleotridae, and Schindleriidae. Previous morphological evidence for goby groupings is discussed; the phylogenetic hypothesis indicates that the morphological reduction observed in many goby species has been derived several times independently.     

Infection status with helminthes in feral cats purchased from a market in Busan, Republic of Korea

The present study was performed to investigate the infection status with helminth in a group of feral cats in Korea. More than 29 helminth species including adults or eggs were detected in visceral and fecal samples of the examined cats. Among these were a host of nematodes, including toxocarids, Ancylostoma sp. and the larva of Anisakis simplex; trematodes, including Clonorchis sinensis, Paragonimus westermani, Eurytrema pancreaticum, Pharyngostomum cordatum, Metagonimus spp., Heterophyes nocens, Pygidiopsis summa, Heterophyopsis continua, Stictodora fuscata, Stictodora lari, Acanthotrema felis, Stellantchasmus falcatus, Centrocestus armatus, Procerovum varium, Cryptocotyle sp., Echinostoma revolutum, Echinostoma hortense, Echinochasmus japonicus, Stephanoprora sp., Plagiorchis muris, Neodiplostomum sp. and diplostomulum. We also detected a variety of cestodes, including Spirometra erinacei, Taenia taeniaeformis and unidentified species of tapeworm. We also found examples of the acanthocephalan, Bolbosoma sp. In our assessment of the stools, we detected at least 12 species of helminth eggs. These findings confirmed that feral cats in Korea are infected with a variety of helminth parasite species. Furthermore, among the helminths detected, E. pancreaticum, S. fuscata, S. lari, A. felis, S. falcatus, C. armatus, P. varium, Cryptocotyle sp., E. revolutum, E. japonicus, Stephanoprora sp., P. muris, Neodiplostomum sp. and Bolbosoma sp. represent helminth fauna which have not been reported previously in feral cats in the Republic of Korea.

Oxypred： Prediction and Classification of Oxygen-Binding Proteins

This study describes a method for predicting and classifying oxygen-binding pro- teins. Firstly, support vector machine (SVM) modules were developed using amino acid composition and dipeptide composition for predicting oxygen-binding pro- teins, and achieved maximum accuracy of 85.5% and 87.8%, respectively. Sec- ondly, an SVM module was developed based on amino acid composition, classify- ing the predicted oxygen-binding proteins into six classes with accuracy of 95.8%, 97.5%, 97.5%, 96.9%, 99.4%, and 96.0% for erythrocruorin, hemerythrin, hemo- cyanin, hemoglobin, leghemoglobin, and myoglobin proteins, respectively. Finally, an SVM module was developed using dipeptide composition for classifying the oxygen-binding proteins, and achieved maximum accuracy of 96.1%, 98.7%, 98.7%, 85.6%, 99.6%, and 93.3% for the above six classes, respectively. All modules were trained and tested by five-fold cross validation. Based on the above approach, a web server Oxypred was developed for predicting and classifying oxygen-binding proteins(available from http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/oxypred/).
