基于线粒体Cyt b,16S rDNA和核28S rDNA的中国斑腿蝗科(直翅目,蝗总科)九亚科间的系统发育关系研究

基于线粒体Cytb、16S rDNA和核28S rDNA的部分序列的联合数据集,重建了中国斑腿蝗科9亚科26种蝗虫和癞蝗科笨蝗(外群)间的系统发育关系。结果显示:1)除黑蝗亚科、秃蝗亚科和切翅蝗亚科外,其余6亚科的单系性都得到支持;2)黑蝗亚科似乎应当与秃蝗亚科合并为一个亚科,且与其他几个亚科亲缘关系相对较远;3)凸额蝗属应该由切翅蝗亚科中独立出来;4)卵翅蝗亚科和稻蝗亚科是姐妹群;5)星翅蝗亚科、黑背蝗亚科、斑腿蝗亚科、刺胸蝗亚科及切翅蝗亚科中的凸额蝗属间的关系较近。     

基于线粒体ND2基因的中国斑翅蝗科部分种类分子系统学研究（直翅目：蝗总科）

本文的目的是通过对斑翅蝗科部分种类的线粒体ND2基因进行分析,重建斑翅蝗科昆虫的系统发育关系,并探讨分子系统发育关系和传统分类结果的异同。扩增并测定了我国斑翅蝗科10属16种蝗虫的线粒体ND2全基因1 023 bp的序列,对序列的碱基组成、转换颠换、系统发育信号等进行了分析。并基于ND2全基因序列数据,分别采用邻接法（NJ）、最简约法（MP）、最大似然法（ML）和贝叶斯法重建了10属16种蝗虫的系统发育关系。结果表明：斑翅蝗科蝗虫ND2全基因A+T含量平均为74.6%;痂蝗亚科和异痂蝗亚科没能得到区分,建议合并为一个亚科;而斑翅蝗亚科和飞蝗亚科的分类地位还存在争议。     

应用16S rDNA序列探讨斑腿蝗科的单系性及其亚科的分类地位

本文测定了斑腿蝗科10亚科20种蝗虫和其他蝗科3种蝗虫的线粒体16S rDNA部分序列,并从GenBank中下载了15种蝗亚目昆虫的16S rRNA基因相应序列片段。比对后的序列长度是397 bp,其中有196个变异位点,157个简约信息位点,A+T平均含量为71.7%,C+G平均含量为28.3%。以序列差异比值为横坐标,以碱基转换数和颠换数为纵坐标作散点图,结果表明颠换多于转换,且随着差异程度的增加,转换明显出现了饱和。以蚱总科的日本蚱Tetrix japonica和卡尖顶蚱Teredorus carmichaeli作外群,用ME、等权MP、加权MP及贝叶斯法重建系统发生树。分子系统树表明,斑腿蝗科并非是一单系群,该科的切翅蝗亚科与稻蝗亚科也均不是一单系群;卵翅蝗、伪稻蝗和稻蝗三者有很近的亲缘关系;支持将黑蝗亚科和秃蝗亚科合为一个亚科——秃蝗亚科;现行的稻蝗亚科并非一单系群,而是一多系群。分子系统学研究结果和传统的基于形态特征的斑腿蝗科的分类体系有很大的不同。     

蝗科高级阶元的分子系统发育(英文）

迄今,蝗科内各分类阶元之间的系统发生关系大部分是未知的。本文用来自中国24种蝗科昆虫的12SrDNA和16SrDNA2个基因的联合序列(共795bp)数据,以锥头蝗科的锥头蝗(Pyrgomorpha conica)为外群,重建了分子系统树。研究结果表明,在12SrDNA与16SrDNA组成的联合数据中,转换的替代速率明显比颠换的替代速率高得多,核酸的替代已经发生了饱和。分子系统树表明:斑翅蝗亚科是一单系群,该亚科是一个合法的亚科,但斑腿蝗亚科和蝗亚科都不是单系群;斑翅蝗亚科在蝗科内是一个相对原始的类群,而稻蝗亚科比斑翅蝗亚科相对进化,比蝗科的其他亚科的种类相对原始。     

基于COⅡ基因序列的斑腿蝗科部分亚科的分子系统学研究

采用PCR产物直接测序法测定了斑腿蝗科10个亚科16属22种的COⅡ基因585 bp的片段, 对序列的碱基组成进行了分析,并评估了数据集的系统发育信号;最后,以癞蝗科的肃南 短鼻蝗作为外群,采用NJ法、MP法、ML法以及贝叶斯推论法构建了系统树,以解决这些物种所代表的亚科之间的系统发育关系。结果表明：22种斑腿蝗科昆虫的COⅡ基因序列碱基组成表现强烈的A+T含量偏向性。对COⅡ基因585 bp序列片段构成的全数据组和根据密码子不同位点划分的密码子第一、第二和第三位点数据组的系统发育信号分析显示,所有数据组都具有一定的系统发育信息。在4种方法得到的合一树中发现： （1）星翅蝗亚科、刺胸蝗亚科、黑背蝗亚科、斑腿蝗亚科的亲缘关系较近;（2）卵翅蝗亚科与稻蝗亚科亲缘关系较近,建议卵翅蝗亚科似乎应归入稻蝗亚科中,板胸蝗亚科与这两个亚科的关系较近;（3）黑蝗亚科和秃蝗亚科似乎应合并为一个亚科;（4）切翅蝗亚科的4个属未聚在一起,表明这些属的区别较大,不是一个单系群;（5）黑蝗亚科和秃蝗亚科关系较近,且与本研究中其他几个亚科的亲缘关系相对较远。研究结果表明COⅡ基因在解决斑腿蝗科的亚科以下属种间的系统发育关系时是一个有效的分子标记。     

基于线粒体COI基因全序列的直翅目部分类群系统发育关系分析

该研究基于直翅目56种昆虫的COI基因全序列构建了该目部分类群间的系统发育关系,同时也分析了COI基因编码的氨基酸序列构建直翅目系统发育关系的可靠性。将COI序列按照密码子一、二、三位点划分,分别计算PBS(partioned Bremer support)值,评估蛋白质编码基因密码子不同位点的系统发生信号强度。分析结果支持螽亚目和蝗亚目的单系性;剑角蝗科、斑腿蝗科、斑翅蝗科、网翅蝗科和槌角蝗科5科均不是单系群,科间的遗传距离在0.107~0.153之间变化,与其他科相比遗传距离较小,符合将这5科合并为一科(即蝗科)的分类系统,瘤锥蝗科和锥头蝗科归为锥头蝗总科,癞蝗科单独成为一科,这也与Otte(1997)系统的划分一致。根据PBS值的大小推断密码子第三、第一位点对系统树分支的贡献比第二位点大,并且较长的序列含有较多的信息位点。研究也证实将各物种COI基因之间的遗传距离作为直翅目划分科级阶元的工具是可行的。     

基于Cyt b基因的网翅蝗科系统发生重建

研究测定了蝗总科25种蝗虫的线粒体Cyt b部分序列,并从GenBank中下载了19种蝗亚目昆虫的Cyt b基因相应序列片段。本文目的是要建立网翅蝗科的系统发育关系并说明网翅蝗科在蝗总科中的分类地位。以瘤锥蝗科的云南蝗Yunnanites coriacea和长额橄蝗Tagasta marginella作为外群,用MP法和贝叶斯法重建系统发生树。比对后的序列长度是384 bp,包括167个简约信息位点。A T平均含量为70.7%,C G 平均含量29.3%。分子系统树表明:网翅蝗科并不是一个单系群。网翅蝗亚科和竹蝗亚科并非单系群。现存的雏蝗属并非单系群,应该是多系群。分子系统学研究结果和传统的基于形态特征的网翅蝗科分类体系有很大的不同。     

基于线粒体Cytb基因序列探讨中国斑翅蝗科部分种类的系统发育关系

基于斑翅蝗科14种的线粒体Cytb基因462 bp序列,使用MEGA2和PAUP4.0b软件包进行分析,显示Cytb基因序列具有明显的高A、T偏向性和距离依赖的TS/TV值.采用邻接法(NJ)、最大似然法(MP)和极似然法(ML)分别构建斑翅蝗科4亚科8属的系统发育树,不同算法构建的系统发育树均支持分为四大分支(亚科):A(绿纹蝗属)、B(束颈蝗属)、C((飞蝗属+车蝗属)+小车蝗属)、D((痂蝗属+异痂蝗属)+皱膝蝗属);红胫小车蝗和黄胫小车蝗作为两个种比较合适;痂蝗亚科和异痂蝗亚科应该合并为一个亚科;飞蝗亚科与斑翅蝗亚科的分类关系尚未解决,需要进一步的研究进行分析验证.     

新疆巴里坤草原优势种蝗虫食性与蝗科中亚科分类系统关系的研究

本文报道了作者于１９７６、１９７９年在巴里坤草原自然和罩笼条件下,观察优势种蝗虫取食范围、取食程度等研究结果。根据斑腿蝗亚科蝗虫主要取食双子叶植物,蝗亚科蝗虫取食单子叶植物,而斑翅蝗亚科中一部分种类取食双子叶植物,一部分取食单子叶植物这个事实,提出：斑腿蝗亚科较原始,蝗亚科最进化,斑翅蝗亚科介于两者之间。这种系统是否与蝗虫的头部形态结构有关,值得深入研究。     

基于18S rRNA基因序列的直翅目主要类群系统发育关系研究

基于78种直翅目昆虫的18S rRNA基因全序列构建了直翅目各主要类群间的系统发育关系。本研究的结果支持直翅目的单系性,但不支持蝗亚目和螽亚目各自的单系性;直翅目下除蜢总科和蝗总科外各总科的划分多数与Otte系统相一致;蜢总科的单系性得不到支持;蝗总科的剑角蝗科、斑腿蝗科、斑翅蝗科、网翅蝗科和槌角蝗科5科均不是单系群,各物种间的遗传距离差异不大,应合并为一科,即蝗科;本研究支持将Otte系统中蚱总科和螽蟖总科下各亚科级阶元提升为科级阶元;18S rRNA基因全序列可以作为划分科级阶元的工具,当位于同一分支上互成姐妹群的类群间的遗传距离超过1%时,这几个类群属于不同的科;但由于其在进化上的保守性,18S rRNA基因只能用于纲目等高级阶元间关系的研究,而由其获得的总科以下阶元间的关系并不可靠。     

The complete mitochondrial genome of Tonkinacris sinensis(Orthoptera: Acrididae): A tRNA-like sequence and its implications for phylogeny

The complete mitochondrial genome of Tonkinacris sinensis is 15,627 bp long and contains13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one A + T-rich region. The gene order and orientation are identical to those of other Orthoptera species, containing the rearrangement of trnD and trnK. Intriguingly, a tRNA^Ser-like gene exists on the N strand between the trnSUCN and nad1 genes. The length of this gene is 110 bp, and it has a typical clover-leaf structure, an anticodon, and a high cove score (23.49). On its clover-leaf structure, on the anticodon arm, there is a 41 bp intron with an unknown function. Here, phylogenetic analysis was conducted based on 13 PCGs of 30 species from 9 subfamilies of Acrididae to understand their phylogenetic relationships. According to the phylogenetic tree, the relationship among the 9 subfamilies within Acrididae was as follows: (Spathosterninae + (Oxyinae + (Catantopinae + (Calliptaminae + (Cyrtacanthacridinae + (Melanoplinae + (Gomphocerinae + (Oedipodinae + Acridinae)))))))).     

Phylogeny of the genus Chironomus (Diptera) inferred from DNA sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome b and cytochrome oxidase I

Two mitochondrial genes, Cytochrome b (Cytb) and Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), have been used as phylogenetic markers in Chironomids. The nucleotide sequences of 685 bp from Cytb and 596 bp from COI have been determined for 36 Chironomus species from the Palearctic, or Holarctic, and Australasia. The concatenated sequence of 1281 bp from both genes was used to investigate the phylogenetic relationships among these species. The nucleotide sequence alignments were used for construction of phylogenetic trees based on maximum-parsimony and neighbor-joining methods. Both techniques produced similar phylogenies. Monophyly of the genus Chironomus is supported by a bootstrap value of 100% at the basal branch. Six clusters of species have been revealed with high bootstrap values supporting both monophyly of each cluster and the validity of the branching order within each cluster. Four species, C. circumdatus, C. nepeanensis, C. dorsalis, and C. crassiforceps, cannot be placed into any cluster. Cytological phylogenies were constructed using the same set of species, except for C. biwaprimus. These trees showed many similarities to that obtained from the mitochondrial (mt) sequence analysis, but also a number of significant differences. When compared with the tree constructed from the sequence of 23 species available for one of the globin genes, globin 2b (gb2b), there was better support for the mt tree than for the cytological trees. An intron, which varies in its occurrence and position in gb2b, was also investigated and the distribution of the introns supports the phylogenetic history of the genus Chironomus obtained with mt data. The differences observed in the cytological trees seem to be attributable more to the retention of the same chromosome banding sequence across several species, rather than convergent evolutionary events. An important question is the determination of the position of the subgenus Camptochironomus in relation to the representatives of the nominal subgenus Chironomus, since it has been suggested that this is a separate genus. The Camptochironomus species are internal to the trees and have arisen more recently than some of the species of the subgenus Chironomus, indicating that they are not sufficiently differentiated to be considered more than a subgenus.     

Comparative mitogenome analysis of three species and monophyletic inference of Catantopinae (Orthoptera: Acridoidea)

To enrich the genomic database of Catantopinae (Orthoptera: Acrididae), mitogenomes of three species from different genera, Traulia nigritibialis (15,701 bp), Choroedocus capensis (16,293 bp) and Stenocatantops splendens (15,574 bp), were characterized and compared with those of other grasshoppers in the subfamily. All 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) were initiated by ATN codons except COI with ACC (C. capensis and S.splendens) and ND6 with TTG (S. splendens). All transfer RNA (tRNA) genes had a typical clover-leaf structure, except tRNA^Ser(AGN) in which the base pairs of the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm were reduced. The phylogenetic relationships were constructed among 22 species from four subfamiles of Acrididae by classical classifications based on two datasets of their mitogenomes using both Bayesian Inference (BI) and Maximum Likelihood (ML). The phylogenetic analysis confirmed the monophyly of the three other subfamilies, but did not provided support of the monophyly of Catantopinae.     

Molecular phylogeny of Pamphagidae (Acridoidea,Orthoptera) from China based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II sequences

Abstract Phylogenetic relationships of Pamphagidae were examined using cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) mtDNA sequences (684 bp). Twenty‐seven species of Acridoidea from 20 genera were sequenced to obtain mtDNA data, along with four species from the GenBank nucleotide database. The purpose of this study was analyzing the phylogenetic relationships among subfamilies within Pamphagidae and interpreting the phylogenetic position of this family within the Acridoidea superfamily. Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed using neighbor‐joining (NJ), maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. The 684 bp analyzed fragment included 126 parsimony informative sites. Sequences diverged 1.0%–11.1% between genera within subfamilies, and 8.8%–12.3% between subfamilies. Amino acid sequence diverged 0–6.1% between genera within subfamilies, and 0.4%–7.5% between subfamilies. Our phylogenetic trees revealed the monophyly of Pamphagidae and three distinct major groups within this family. Moreover, several well supported and stable clades were found in Pamphagidae. The global clustering results were similar to that obtained through classical morphological classification: Prionotropisinae, Thrinchinae and Pamphaginae were monophyletic groups. However, the current genus Filchnerella (Prionotropisinae) was not a monophyletic group and the genus Asiotmethis (Prionotropisinae) was a sister group of the genus Thrinchus (Thrinchinae). Further molecular and morphological studies are required to clarify the phylogenetic relationships of the genera Filchnerella and Asiotmethis.     

Reconstruction of phylogeny of locusts from the family Acrididae (Orthoptera) based on analysis of nucleotide sequences of 16S ribosome RNA gene in mitochondria

The sequences of two mitochondrial 16S RNA gene fragments (137- and 174-bp in size) were determined in nine grasshopper species belonging to three Acrididae subfamilies. Phylogenetic reconstruction was performed using the sequences of twelve grasshopper species and the cricket Acheta domesticus sequence as an outgroup (some data were purchased from the GeneBank Data Library (NCBI). In the phylogenetic tree, the Acridinae and Locustinae formed compact groups. Annexpected position of Celes scalozubovi (Locustinae) within the subfamily Acridinae indicated its vague phylogeny. The Catantopinae species lied close to the base of the Acridinae. Almost all branches of phylogenetic trees were strongly (55-100%) supported by bootstrap analysis.     

基于线粒体 COI 和 Cytb 基因的中国灰蝶三亚科主要类群间的系统发育关系分析

【目的】针对中国灰蝶科中亲缘关系较近的3个主要亚科［灰蝶亚科(Lycaeninae)、线灰蝶亚科(Theclinae)以及眼灰蝶亚科(Polyommatina)］,基于线粒体基因序列数据研究它们主要类群间的系统发育关系。【方法】对3亚科共53种灰蝶的线粒体 COI 和 Cytb 基因进行序列测定和序列变异分析,同时,基于最大似然法(maximum likelihood, ML)和贝叶斯法(bayesian inference, BI)等建树方法重建53种灰蝶的系统发育树。【结果】串联的2个基因共1 431 bp,其中保守位点855个,可变位点576个,简约信息位点488个;A+T的平均含量为74.5%,明显高于G+C的平均含量(25.5%)。系统树显示,灰蝶亚科以及眼灰蝶亚科均是单系发生,线灰蝶亚科则为并系群。全部灰蝶物种共分为三大支系：灰蝶亚科为第1支系;眼灰蝶亚科与线灰蝶亚科中的旖灰蝶族(Hypolycaenini)、富丽灰蝶族(Aphnaeini)分别构成单系群并互为姊妹群,它们共同构成第2支系;线灰蝶亚科中的美灰蝶族(Eumaeini)、玳灰蝶族(Deudorigini)、娆灰蝶族(Arhopalini)和线灰蝶族(Theclini)构成第3支系,其亲缘关系为：（（（线灰蝶族+娆灰蝶族）+玳灰蝶族）+美灰蝶族）。【结论】本研究涉及的3个灰蝶亚科中,灰蝶亚科是一个独立的支系,眼灰蝶亚科与线灰蝶亚科之间有较近的亲缘关系,但它们内部主要类群间的系统发育关系还需要进一步的研究。     

Antennal sensilla of grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in relation to food preferences and habits

The external structure, i.e. number and distribution of sensillae on male and female antennae of 12 species of grasshoppers belonging to Pamphaginae, Catantopinae, Oedipodinae and Gomphocerinae in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. Five major types of antennal sensillae were detected - trichoid, long basiconic, short basiconic, slender and short basiconic, and coeloconic sensillae. Total number of antennal sensillae varied among different sexes, subfamilies, feeding groups, life forms and eco-forms. Males showed significantly more sensillae than females, due to presence of more short basiconic and coeloconic sensillae. Species under Catantopinae showed more long basiconic sensillae than the others. The Oedipodinae had the highest number of slender and short basiconic sensillae and coeloconic sensillae, followed by Catantopinae and Gomphocerinae; while Pamphaginae had the fewest. The total number of sensillae showed the same trend for these two types amongst the subfamilies as well, species which prefer habits on the ground possessed fewer antennal sensillae than species which prefer to stay on plants. The maximal number of antennal sensillae were observed in hygrophytous species,Chorthippus albomarginatus, in the 12 grasshopper species investigated, although the data is not statistically significant. The general trend which emerged was that species feeding on grass possessed more antennal sensillae, particularly coeloconic sensillae, compared to other feeding group species.
