不同温度条件对棉蚜、棉长管蚜种间竞争关系的影响

【目的】棉蚜Aphis gossypii和棉长管蚜Acyrthosiphon gossypii是棉花上的共存种,本文拟明确不同恒温条件下两种蚜虫单种和共存时的种群动态、有翅蚜发生及在棉株上的分布情况,探讨温度对两者种间竞争的作用。【方法】棉蚜、棉长管蚜单种、混合初始等蚜量设置,分别置于室内21、24和27℃恒温条件下,系统调查记录各处理种群数量、有翅蚜数量及在棉株上的分布,应用内禀增长率rm、空间分布情况、有翅蚜比例为竞争判别指标。【结果】棉蚜单种种群过程的rm均大于棉长管蚜,共存条件下一种对另一种蚜虫的rm均没有显著影响;棉蚜种群97%以上在叶片活动,棉长管蚜在叶片的比例为55%~75%;同一温度条件,两种共存不影响对方在棉花叶片和茎秆上的分布;棉蚜和棉长管蚜主要分布于棉花中上部。随温度升高,共存种群中棉蚜向棉株下部移动的比例增加,单种和共存种群棉长管蚜趋向于棉株上部移动。同一温度条件下,共存对棉蚜上下分布没有明显影响。21℃和27℃棉蚜的存在对棉长管蚜没有显著影响,但24℃时共存可使棉长管蚜在下部的比例明显增加;随温度的升高,棉蚜有翅蚜比例下降显著,而棉长管蚜无显著变化。【结论】适温范围内,两种蚜虫种间竞争的存在不影响彼此的内在繁殖能力,棉蚜比棉长管蚜具有更强的内在竞争能力;温度对棉蚜在竞争活动空间上的影响不明显,而对棉长管蚜的上下位置的选择有一定作用;种间竞争和种内竞争加速棉蚜有翅蚜的发生。     

醉马草水浸液对豌豆蚜触杀活性及种群增长的影响

为探讨醉马草水浸液对豌豆蚜触杀活性及种群增长的影响,采用带虫浸叶法比较不同生育期醉马草带菌（E+）和不带菌（E-）水浸液对豌豆蚜触杀活性及种群生命表,测定了豌豆蚜的死亡率及触杀后对其生殖期,平均繁殖力,繁殖率及生命表参数的影响。结果表明,不同生育期醉马草带菌（E+）水浸液触杀豌豆蚜后对其各项指标均有显著影响。在苗期时,E+水浸液触杀豌豆蚜后校正死亡率最高,繁殖力最低,内禀增长率（r_m=0.145 d^-1）和净生殖率（R₀=4.802头）均为最小值。在成熟期时,E+水浸液触杀豌豆蚜24 h、48 h和72 h后校正死亡率分别为26.15%,19.01%,9.07%;繁殖期（3.87 d）,平均繁殖力（8.80头）,繁殖率（1.40%）,内禀增长率（r_m=0.208 d^-1）和净生殖率（R₀=8.820头）。在枯黄期时,E+水浸液触杀豌豆蚜后校正死亡率最低,繁殖力最强,内禀增长率（r_m=0.247 d^-1）和净生殖率（R₀=13.647头）均为最大值。不同生育期醉马草E-水浸液触杀豌豆蚜后对其种群繁殖无显著影响,与对照差异不显著（P>0.05）。综上,苗期醉马草E+水浸液对豌豆蚜有较好的触杀效果,校正死亡率高,且触杀后当代繁殖力减弱,种群扩建时间延长,不利于其种群繁殖和增长;故苗期醉马草E+水浸液具有很好的杀虫潜力,所采用水浸液方法制备简单,成本低,可为新型植物源农药研发提供重要理论依据。

温度对马铃薯棉蚜生长发育及种群增长的影响

采用新叶圆片法,研究了不同恒温(10℃、15℃、20℃、25℃和30℃)条件下马铃薯棉蚜的发育历期、存活率、生殖力及种群生命表参数。结果表明:棉蚜在马铃薯上的各龄历期和成蚜寿命及产仔期随温度的升高而缩短,世代历期、成蚜寿命和产仔期分别从10℃的17.72 d、53.03 d和26.18 d下降到30℃的4.77 d、14.60 d和6.84 d。完成1代需要的有效积温为110.84日度,发育起点温度为4.56℃。总产仔量在15℃-25℃范围内最高(63.29-69.36头),其次为10℃(40.00头);日均产仔量在25℃时最高(5.61头/日),其次为20℃(3.47头/日)和30℃(3.35头/日)。除在10℃时为Deevey-II型存活曲线外,在其它温度下均为Deevey-I型存活曲线。根据内禀增长率大小排序,25℃是马铃薯棉蚜生长发育、存活、繁殖及种群增长的最适温度,其后依次为30℃、20℃、15℃和10℃。     

棉花型和黄瓜型棉蚜对寄主植物的适合度

采用寄主转换建立生命表及触角电位 (EAG)方法比较了棉蚜两寄主专化型 (棉花型和黄瓜型 )对不同夏季作物的适合度。结果表明 ,棉花型蚜转到黄瓜上及黄瓜型蚜转接到棉花上均不能正常产仔繁殖和建立种群。两种蚜型均不能在茄子和苋菜上建立种群。黄瓜型蚜能在豇豆上建立种群 ,但棉花型蚜不能 ,表现出两种寄主型棉蚜对夏寄主利用上存在显著差异。受棉蚜为害 12～ 36 h后的黄瓜或棉花植株仍不适合于棉花型或黄瓜型蚜 ,表现出黄瓜型蚜不能在被棉花型蚜为害过的棉株上正常存活和繁殖 ,棉花型蚜也不能在被黄瓜型蚜为害过的黄瓜苗上存活和繁殖。两种寄主型蚜对不同寄主叶片丙酮提取物的触角电位表明 ,黄瓜型蚜对棉花、哈密瓜和马铃薯叶片提取物的反应显著强于棉花型蚜 ,而对黄瓜和甜瓜叶片提取物的反应上两种蚜型差异不显著。文中同时对棉花型和黄瓜型棉蚜产生的生态机制进行了讨论。     

仲夏棉蚜种群崩溃机制研究进展

棉蚜是世界性分布的棉花害虫,仲夏棉蚜种群崩溃是生态控制棉蚜危害的重要途径,为棉蚜预测和防治提供了新思路与切入点,但其崩溃机制尚未明确。导致棉蚜种群崩溃的可能因素主要包括:(1)植物次生代谢物影响棉蚜的发育和繁殖,但不足以导致棉蚜种群崩溃;(2)暴风雨对棉蚜种群有一定的影响,但无法解释连续多年和多个地点发生的种群崩溃现象;(3)高温显著降低棉蚜的存活和繁殖,且与仲夏棉蚜种群崩溃期相吻合,高温很可能是棉蚜种群崩溃的关键影响因子;(4)高密度条件下激烈的种内竞争导致棉蚜繁殖率降低,有翅蚜比例增加;(5)天敌除具有直接捕食或寄生作用外,同时间接影响若蚜生长发育和刺激有翅蚜形成,对棉蚜种群后期崩溃发挥重要作用。本文对可能导致仲夏棉蚜种群崩溃的主要因素分别进行论述,探讨其对棉蚜存活、繁殖和有翅蚜形成的影响,旨在为探明仲夏棉蚜种群崩溃机制提供参考。     

温度对蜘蛛繁殖力和实验种群的影响

从我国常见10科18种蜘蛛的温度实验数据中,找出温度对蜘蛛繁殖和实验种群增长影响的一般规律和不同种类蜘蛛繁殖的最佳温度。根据实验可以看出：大多数蜂蛛在1－35℃温区内均可产卵和孵化;由于蜘蛛种类不同,雌蛛产卵袋数最多、卵袋内含卵量最高、产卵间隔时间最短、产卵率最高、单雌产卵量最多、孵化率最高和种群增长指数最大的最适温度也表现出差异;大多数种类雌蛛产卵袋数最多的温区是25－32℃;产卵间隔最短的温区是30－37℃;产卵率最高的温区是25－32℃;孵化率最高的温区在25℃左右;种群数量增长最多的温区是25－29℃。温度与蜘蛛繁殖力的关系可以用曲线方程和数学模型表示。     

温度对棉蚜繁殖速度的影响

作者于1981—1983年在棉花苗龄一致、棉蚜试验基数一致、隔离天敌动物及有翅蚜条件下,利用4—7月份的棉田不同温、湿度条件,研究了棉田温度对棉蚜繁殖速度的影响。结果证明:棉田五日平均温度(以下简称温度)17.6—24.0℃,棉蚜繁殖速度最快,五日内繁殖21.9—46.0倍;温度低于和高于此范围,达12.7℃和25.0—31.2℃时,棉蚜繁殖速度减慢,同期分别繁殖4.2倍和6.3—19.2倍。同时证明:在伏期7月份当温度在上述适温范围内时,棉蚜繁殖速度快,而当温度高至26.7—30.9℃处于适温范围以外时,其繁殖速度同样减慢,同期繁殖4.5—19.2倍。由此说明,确利于棉蚜繁殖的适温范围大体为17—24℃;棉蚜繁殖在5月份苗期和7月份伏期的适温范围基本一致。     

Sublethal effects of insecticides on the intrinsic rate of increase of cotton aphid

Insecticides are often implicated in causing outbreaks of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii (Glover) (Homoptera: Aphididae), through stimulation of reproduction. In this study we report the sublethal effects of dosages of bifenthrin, acephate, carbofuran or pyriproxifen on cotton aphid reproduction. We could not detect any increase or decrease in the intrinsic rate of increase of cotton aphids exposed to bifenthrin, acephate or carbofuran. However, we did detect some increases in the net reproductive rate of aphids treated with bifenthrin justifying further investigation of the effect on reproduction by this insecticide. Trends based on simple linear regression models suggest that sublethal dosages of bifenthrin or carbofuran have a negative impact on aphid population growth as dosages increase. These data suggest that stimulation of reproduction by these insecticides probably does not play a major role in cotton aphid outbreaks or resurgence. Pyriproxyfen is a juvenoid currently used for control of whiteflies in cotton. It demonstrated significant activity towards cotton aphid reared on treated cotton in our bioassays. Pyriproxyfen caused sterility in most aphids exposed to dosages exceeding 1 ppm, and reduced aphid longevity by approximately 50%. However, it did not appear to greatly influence the reproductive potential or longevity of reproductively mature aphids. A field study indicates that pyriproxyfen affects cotton aphid population structure and may have potential in managing cotton aphid outbreaks. Modifying aphid population structure and growth through the use of juvenoids such as pyriproxifen may prove to be an effective proactive approach to pest control without adversely impacting beneficial organisms or causing pest resurgence.     

再探棉蚜体色变化的生态遗传学机理

作者对各种不同生境中蚜虫体色进行了观察,并通过胚胎解剖、染色体镜检研究了棉蚜体色规律性变化的原因。试验结果表明,棉蚜体色在世代内稳定不变;在世代间则随温度升高体色由绿渐变至黄。温度降低,体色又由黄渐渐转绿。统计检验证实:棉蚜体色变化与营养、寄主种类、光照光质、栽培条件等无关;仅与温度密切相联;性蚜体色与初产卵卵色均为绿色。木槿、花椒上的深黄色棉蚜,其体色不随温度改变,表明其已构成棉蚜体色变化的遗传多态现象。体色随温度变化的蚜虫在生态遗传学上属于基因型对环境条件的反应规范。     

无视异绒螨—棉蚜的生态位及其空间格局的研究

无视异绒螨(Allothrombium ignotum Willman)是棉蚜的一种寄生性天敌。研究结果表明:该种天敌发生时间早,数量大,与棉蚜的种群波动呈明显的同步关系;加之它与棉蚜的时间一空间生态位重叠度高,二者的空间格局一致,所以对抑制早期棉蚜基数的增长具有重要的作用。     

RAPD‐PCR DETECTION OF DNA POLYMORPHISM OF COTTON APHID*

Abstract The RAPDPCR technique was used to determine the DNA polymorphism of the aphid Aphis gossypii(Glover) collected from different host plants and in different seasons. Three primers were selected from 20 primers and used for cluster analysis based on the data of Nei's genetic distance (D). The results showed that the aphids on Chinese prickly ash differentiated obviously from the aphids on the other four host plants at DNA level. The seasonal population of cotton aphid might be clustered into three groups, i.e. the spring and autumn yellow colored aphids, the spring and autumn green colored aphids and the yellow dwarf form aphid in summer. However, the genetic relationship of dwarf form was more closely to the spring and autumn green colored aphid.     

Identification of Top-Down Forces Regulating Cotton Aphid Population Growth in Transgenic Bt Cotton in Central China

The cotton aphid Aphis gossypii Glover is the main aphid pest in cotton fields in the Yangtze River Valley Cotton-planting Zone (YRZ) in central China. Various natural enemies may attack the cotton aphid in Bt cotton fields but no studies have identified potential specific top-down forces that could help manage this pest in the YRZ in China. In order to identify possibilities for managing the cotton aphid, we monitored cotton aphid population dynamics and identified the effect of natural enemies on cotton aphid population growth using various exclusion cages in transgenic Cry1Ac (Bt)+CpTI (Cowpea trypsin inhibitor) cotton field in 2011. The aphid population growth in the open field (control) was significantly lower than those protected or restricted from exposure to natural enemies in the various exclusion cage types tested. The ladybird predator Propylaea japonica Thunberg represented 65% of Coccinellidae predators, and other predators consisted mainly of syrphids (2.1%) and spiders (1.5%). The aphid parasitoids Aphidiines represented 76.7% of the total count of the natural enemy guild (mainly Lysiphlebia japonica Ashmead and Binodoxys indicus Subba Rao & Sharma). Our results showed that P. japonica can effectively delay the establishment and subsequent population growth of aphids during the cotton growing season. Aphidiines could also reduce aphid density although their impact may be shadowed by the presence of coccinellids in the open field (likely both owing to resource competition and intraguild predation). The implications of these results are discussed in a framework of the compatibility of transgenic crops and top-down forces exerted by natural enemy guild.     

不同类型品种棉花上棉蚜适生性及种群动态

通过田间调查、室内网罩盆栽苗测定选择性等方法,考察了常规棉（泗棉3号,石远321）、杂交抗虫棉（辽棉19号,鲁棉研18号）、转单价基因抗虫棉（国抗12号,中棉所32）和转双价抗虫棉（SGK321,中棉所41）4种类型8个品种棉花上棉蚜的适生性及种群动态。结果表明： 棉蚜在各棉花品种上的种群动态有明显差异（P<0.05）,单株蚜量以转单价基因抗虫棉中棉32上最高,常规棉泗棉3号上最低,分别为297.81头/株和76.88头/株。棉蚜对4种类型棉花品种的选择性有明显差异（P<0.05）,其中对转单价基因抗虫棉有很强的选择性。根据棉蚜实验种群的参数判断,其在不同品种棉花上的生长发育、存活及繁殖存在显著差异： 若虫发育历期常规棉石远321上最长（6.46天）,双价棉中棉所41上最短（5.75天）; 存活率转单价基因抗虫棉中棉32上最高（88.21%）,双价棉SGK321上最低（76.46%）; 单雌产蚜量杂交抗虫棉辽棉19上最大（44.48头）,双价棉SGK321上最小（33.51头）; 内禀增长率转单价基因抗虫棉中棉32上最高（0.3695）,双价棉中棉所41上最低（0.3389）。综合评价,棉蚜的生存和繁殖适合性在转单价基因抗虫棉上最高,在双价棉上最低。     

The use of visual cues in host evaluation by aphidiid wasps I. Comparison between threeAphidius parasitoids of the pea aphid

Host evaluation behaviour was examined in three species of aphid parasitoids,Aphidius ervi haliday,A. pisivorus Smith, andA. smithi Sharma & Subba Rao (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae). Parasitoids were provided under laboratory conditions with three kinds of hosts representing two aphid species: (green) pea aphid,Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), and green and pink colour morphs of the alfalfa aphid,Macrosiphum creelii Davis. Females of all threeAphidius species distinguished between aphids on the basis of colour, movement, and host species. Patterns of host acceptance by parasitoids were species-specific. InA. ervi, host preference was the same in light and dark conditions: pea aphid>green alfalfa aphid≫pink alfalfa aphid. In contrast,A. pisivorus attacked and accepted pea aphid and green alfalfa aphid equally in the light and preferred both of these over pink alfalfa aphid; however, it made no distinction between pea aphid and pink alfalfa aphid in the dark. Females ofA. smithi attacked all three kinds of hosts (pea aphid>green alfalfa aphid≫pink alfalfa aphid) but apparently laid eggs only in pea aphid. The frequencies of attack and oviposition by all wasps were higher on ‘normal’ pea aphids than on those anaesthetized with CO₂. Host recognition is confirmed by chemical cues in the aphid cuticle that are detected during antennation, and host acceptance is dependent on an assessment of host quality during ovipositor probing.     

Coevolution and the adaptive value of autumn tree colours: colour preference and growth rates of a southern beech aphid

The evolutionary explanation for the change in leaf colour during autumn is still debated. Autumn colours could be a signal of defensive commitment towards insects (coevolution) or an adaptation against physical damage because of light at low temperatures (photoprotection). These two hypotheses have different predictions: (1) under the coevolution hypothesis, insects should not prefer red leaves in autumn and grow better in spring on trees with green autumn leaves; and (2) under the photoprotection hypothesis, insects should prefer and grow better on trees with red leaves because they provide better nutrition. Studying colour preference in autumn and growth rates in spring of a southern beech aphid species (Neuquenaphis staryi) on Nothofagus alessandrii, we found preference for green leaves in autumn but no differential performance of aphids in spring. We suggest that aphid preference for green might have evolved to exploit better their host during the autumn rather than to improve their performance in spring.     

氮肥对棉田主要害虫种群密度及棉花产量的影响

通过2年的田间研究,分析了3种不同施氮水平对棉花主要害虫棉玲虫、棉蚜种群动态、棉花蕾铃脱落及棉花产量的影响。结果表明,增施氮肥的棉田棉铃虫和棉蚜数量比对照田要高,但它们之间的差异没有达到显著的水平。不同年份对棉铃虫种群密度有显著影响,但对棉蚜种群没有显著影响。蕾花期施肥可减轻棉铃虫为害造成的花蕾脱落和自然脱落,增加有效铃数和产量,但增加量没有达到显著水平。     

The influence of light environment on host colour preference in a parasitoid wasp

1. Visual chromatic cues and contrast effects are widely used by insects in behaviours involving host/prey/mate‐finding and recognition. However, naturally changing light conditions may challenge the visual perception of cues for these organisms. 2. We used the host/parasitoid system Acyrthosiphon pisum/Aphidius ervi to determine if apparent visual preference of the wasp for green over pink host aphids was a visually based choice or a post‐attack mechanism based on host susceptibility depending on anti‐parasitoid symbiotic bacteria. 3. The study tested the ability of the wasp to recognise and attack pea aphid clones expressing variation based on colour and/or symbionts under a broad range of LED‐controlled light environments mimicking natural variations. 4. Results showed that the amount of reflected light of pink morphs was about half that of the green morphs in the cyan‐green components. Both host colours were recognised and attacked under all tested light conditions, even red light (660 nm). The previously reported preference of A. ervi for green pea aphids, was clear only for naive females given a choice between two aphid colours under all light environments, but quickly disappeared. 5. Wasps showed no tendency of avoiding oviposition in clones with defensive symbionts. 6. These findings suggest that variable rates of pea aphid parasitism by A. ervi in fields do not depend on host colour discrimination, but rather on susceptibility variation among aphid clones in allowing larval development after egg‐laying. Further studies should consider deeper investigation of the impact of red lights used in modified light environments in greenhouses and the proportion of host colour morph available.
