三种白蚁的头胸部及消化道结构特征比较

【目的】白蚁具有降解木质纤维素的能力,主要场所在消化道内,因此消化道形态结构的研究具有重要意义。【方法】本文对采自河南省的3种白蚁(平额散白蚁Reticulitermes planifrons Li et Ping、湖南散白蚁Reticulitermes hunanensis Tsai et Peng和双工土白蚁Odontotermes dimorphus Li et Xiao的兵蚁和工蚁头胸部特征及其消化道结构进行了比较。【结果】两种散白蚁兵蚁的头壳、后颏和上颚没有明显差异,但与双工土白蚁差异显著。3种白蚁工蚁的前肠、后肠及消化道平均长度均大于兵蚁,且差异显著(P<0.05),而中肠的差异不显著;双工土白蚁的肠道总长度工蚁/兵蚁比值(1.4倍)大于两种散白蚁(1.1倍);除了嗉囊和囊形胃外,两种散白蚁工蚁的其余消化道各段差异显著(P<0.05),与双工土白蚁相比差异也显著。【结论】工蚁的消化道比兵蚁发达,散白蚁的消化道结构与土白蚁有较大不同,这些结果与工蚁和兵蚁的社会分工有关,同时也表明高等白蚁与低等白蚁相比不仅是采食习惯的差别,自身消化系统结构与分区也有较大不同,并为白蚁的生物防治和生物质资源利用提供了资料。

白蚁表皮碳氢化合物组分鉴定及分类学意义

应用GC-MS分析表明,不同种类白蚁表皮碳氢化合物组成和含量均有差异。运用UPGMA聚合R分析的最小距离系数值绘制的系统树表明：圆唇凸额类白蚁——黄胸散白蚁Reticulitermes flaviceps、双色散白蚁R. dichrous和R. sp.1之间;圆唇平额类白蚁——圆唇散白蚁R. labralis、小头散白蚁R. microcephalus、R. sp.2和R. sp.3之间; 尖唇类白蚁——海南异白蚁Heterotermes hainanensis、拧黄异白蚁H. citrinus、细颚异白蚁H.leptomandibularis、尖唇异白蚁H. aculabialis和H. sp. 4之间的亲缘关系较近。3类白蚁中,圆唇凸额类白蚁和圆唇平额类白蚁亲缘关系相近,而两者与尖唇类白蚁亲缘关系较远。实验结果表明,我国存在异白蚁属,它与散白蚁属主要区别在于其表皮缺乏以下数种碳氢化合物：正十七烷烃、正二十烷烃、正二十一烷烃、正二十二烷烃、正二十三烷烃、正二十四烷烃和正二十六烷烃等;却含有一种特殊化合物异喹啉。表皮碳氢化合物分析的结果与形态分类的结果有一定差异,形态分类被鉴定为双色散白蚁的R. sp.1,被鉴定为小头散白蚁的R. sp.2,被鉴定为圆唇散白蚁的R.sp.3,被鉴定为尖唇散白蚁的H. sp.4,根据表皮碳氢化合物分析的结果,R. sp.1、R. sp.3和H. sp.4可能是其他种,而R. sp.2则可能是圆唇散白蚁的亚种或其他种。     

尖唇散白蚁的梳理清洁行为和食物交哺行为

为了了解尖唇散白蚁梳理清洁行为和交哺行为,为防治该种白蚁提供依据,通过定性观察和定量测定的方法对尖唇散白蚁的梳理清洁行为和交哺行为进行了研究。结果表明:尖唇散白蚁的梳理清洁行为主要由4龄以上工蚁完成,4~6龄的若蚁也参与,但不及工蚁频繁;梳理清洁行为占到其昼夜活动时间的1.6%左右,当白蚁体表沾染污物时,如体表沾有染料或真菌孢子等,梳理清洁行为的频率增加,占用的时间也增多,人为用染料污染白蚁体表,梳理清洁行为可占到6.5%;尖唇散白蚁的交哺行为可发生于各个品级之间,其中工蚁是交哺行为中最活跃的品级,其他各品级均可接受来自工蚁的饲喂;6龄以上工蚁对工蚁的染料食物交哺测试显示,取食后24 h受喂工蚁获得的食物量仅占原取食工蚁取食量的5.86%,48 h饲喂者与受喂者消化道食物量大致持平,并随时间推移逐渐减少,受喂者消化道中的食物始终低于饲喂者。本研究结果支持散白蚁的交哺行为属于层叠式交哺模式的观点。

花胸散白蚁多型行为的初步分析

该文在花胸散白蚁Reticulitermes fukienensis Light的侦察行为和取食行为方面进行了比较详细的探讨,同时还分析了其消化系统发育与取食行为变化之间的相互关系。实验结果表明年龄是影响花胸散白蚁多型行为的一个比较重要的因素。而且发现幼蚁和工蚁的消化系统发育是与其取食行为相一致的,特别是后肠囊从幼蚁的细条消化道发育为成年工蚁的膨大囊袋这一过程是花胸散白蚁群体中存在着取食多型行为的强有力的证据。

三明地区林木白蚁种类、分布及危害的调查

在三明全区范围内设点普查,得知共有林木白蚁2科9属22种,其中中华葫白蚁、海南大白蚁、普见家白蚁、大头家白蚁、高山散白蚁为福建省首次发现危害林木。黄翅大白蚁、闽华歪白蚁、大近歪白蚁、歪白蚁、中华葫白蚁、小象白蚁、海南大白蚁、普见家白蚁、大头象白蚁、蛋头蔡白蚁、黄肢散白蚁、高额散白蚁、高山散白仪、细颏散白蚁、武宫散白蚁、尖唇异白蚁为本地区首次发现危害林木。三明地区白蚁优势种有黑翅土白蚁、黄翅大白蚁和家白蚁。黑翅土白蚁等白蚁对林木造成严重危害,已成为当前林业生产中的一大难题。三明地区林木白蚁区系分布有以下特点：1）林木白蚁种类多,分布广泛,危害较为普遍;2）土白蚁、大白蚁是危害林木的主要类别;3）全区范围白蚁发生情况是由北向南蚁种延增,危害趋重。     

我国华东沿海4种石磺形态学比较

我国华东沿海分布有瘤背石磺(Onchidium struma)、平疣桑椹石磺(Platevindex mortoni)、里氏拟石磺(Paraoncidium reevesii)、紫色疣石磺(Peronia verruculata)4属4种石磺,后3种为我国大陆沿海新纪录种。通过野外实地调查和实验室暂养分别观察了其生态习性及外部形态,测定外形主要生物学性状指标进行统计分析;同时解剖比较4种石磺的生殖系统和消化系统等内部结构。结果显示,4种石磺的生活区域分别从潮间带中潮区至高潮区再到潮上带而呈现梯度分布状态,生活区域的不同导致生活习性、呼吸方式的不同;4种石磺外部形态差别明显,身体背部和腹足的颜色不同,平疣桑椹石磺没有背眼,腹足灰黑色或灰白色,惟紫色疣石磺有树枝状鳃;在内部结构中,平疣桑椹石磺无阴茎附属腺,里氏拟石磺无阴茎牵引肌且与紫色疣石磺一样不具有肛门腺。主要生物学性状数据分析得出足长和足宽是典型代表数据,判别分析得出呼吸孔至身体末端距离与肛门至呼吸孔距离的比例是属种间具有显著性意义的观察指标,从外形及内部主要结构比较发现将它们分属4个种是准确的。外部形态的特殊结构以及内部结构主要差异可作为石磺科分类的主要依据;比较我国华东沿海石磺的形态学差异能为石磺科贝类模式种资料的重新修订提供良好的研究基础。     

Three-dimensional reconstruction of the feeding process of the malaria parasite

The use of serial sectioning followed by three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction is a convenient way to study the spatial morphology of any structure (organ, cell, organelle). This method was applied to the study of the feeding mechanism of some strains of murine and human Plasmodium and enabled clarification of morphological features of this process. The feeding and digestive system of Plasmodium is polymorphic: in single sections, it shows rounded or elongated vesicles or vacuoles of very different sizes and content. The 3D reconstruction allowed us to describe the phenomenon both in space and in time. The contents of the host cell are taken up through the cytostome to form a sausage-shaped cytostomal tube. Individual digestive vesicles are either pinched off from the terminal portion of the tube or by the individualization of the different portions of the tube itself. The cytosomal system can be made of several tubes or vesicles always originating from cytostomes that can disappear when the tube is fully developed. A second feeding mechanism is also observed. Smaller vesicles are formed from the cytostomal vacuoles or tubes, or from the surface of the so-called "food vacuole, " or from the whole erythrocyte/parasite interface. Very few differences appear when the different strains are compared. In the chloroquine-resistant strain of P. berghei or in the P. falciparum FCR3 strain, there appears to be a large increase in the number of cytostomal vesicles, with several functional cytostomes in P. falciparum. The chronology of the appearance of the two systems is comparable between the different species except in P. falciparum, where the pigment vesicles fuse together very rapidly to form a large residual vacuole with which the subsequently formed and degraded digestive vacuoles fuse.     

地黄属种间亲缘关系研究

对地黄属6个物种进行了形态解剖学观察、染色体计数、核核糖体内转录间隔区(ITS)序列分析.结果表明,茎的高度、幼叶形态、花萼和花冠形态及颜色、种子千粒重和大小、外种皮网壁厚度、外种皮内侧网纹直径等均是该属内分类的可靠依据.高地黄与裂叶地黄在外部形态及解剖结构的各个方面均极为近似,地黄与茄叶地黄间也存在较大的相似性.茄叶地黄、高地黄、湖北地黄、天目地黄的染色体数目,分别为n=28、14、14、14,确认地黄和茄叶地黄为属内四倍体物种,其余种均为二倍体.ITS测序分析显示,地黄属为单系起源,天目地黄与湖北地黄、高地黄与裂叶地黄、地黄与茄叶地黄构成属内3个分支,与形态学及细胞学研究结果一致.研究认为,天目地黄与湖北地黄有较近的亲缘关系;高地黄和裂叶地黄应为同一物种;地黄与茄叶地黄是属内进化水平最高的类群.     

中华大蟾蜍多种组织内5—羟色胺免疫染色细胞的分布

The distribution of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) immunostaining cells in the digestive tracts (hibernation and nonhibernation), the brain and other various tissues of Bufo bufo gargarizans was studied by peroxidase anti-peroxidase immunocytochemical method. In the brain, 5-HT immunostaining cells were localized in the raphen nuclear area of brain stem and in the ependyma cell area of the ventriclus tertius of diencephalon. These immunostaining cells were round or oval. The cells usually possess processes which were filled with immunoreactive substance. Some of the processes were contact with the processes of other cells. A few 5-HT positive reactive nerve fibers were observed in the brain stem and the diencephalon. The density of 5-HT immunostaining cells in the digestive tubes were the highest in the pylorus, fundus, cardia of gaster, and moderate in the esophagus and duodenum and the lowest in the large intestine and the small intestine. The density of 5-HT immunostaining cells in the digestive tubes were higher in nonhibernant toads than in hibernant toads. By the statistical method, the difference of the density between the two sorts of toads were notable (P less than 0.05). The 5-HT immunostaining cells were visualized to distribute between the epithelium cells of the mucosa or the epithelium cells of gland. These positive cells usually had one or more processes which contained 5-HT immunoreactive substance. Some were reached into lumen surface of the gland or intestine. Some were extended into lamina propria through the basal membrane. These results indicate that the 5-HT immunostaining cells in digestive tubes could release 5-HT by both endocrine and exocrine ways.     

Genetic variability of trypanosomatids isolated from phytophagous hemiptera defined by morphological, biochemical, and molecular taxonomic markers.

In the present study, we investigated the genetic variability among 49 new isolates of trypanosomatids from phytophagous Hemiptera by means of morphological characters, growth features, and biochemical (enzymes of ornithine-arginine cycle) and molecular markers (based on spliced-leader, and ribosomal genes). From 402 phytophagous insects dissected and examined for the presence of trypanosomatids, 228 species belonging to Pyrrhocoridae, Coreidae, Lygaeidae, and Pentatomidae families harbored trypanosomatids in their salivary glands, or digestive tubes. Among these insects, 211 carried promastigotes and only 17 had choanomastigote forms. The results show a strong association among morphology, growth features, and biochemical and molecular markers and reveal the genetic diversity of the isolates, which were assigned to Crithidia, Phytomonas, and Leptomonas; we found genetic polymorphism within all these genera, thus indicating high genetic variability among trypanosomatids from phytophagous insects.     

Frugivory, external morphology and digestive system in mediterranean sylviid warblers Sylvia spp

Fruit consumption was assessed in six species of Sylvia warblers and compared to variation in external morphology and digestive system. Variation in the use of fruit was determined primarily by external morphology (body-size, gape-width and hindlimb characteristics). Variation in digestive traits (intestine-length, gizzard and liver-weight) did not account for a significant fraction of variation in frugivory across species. Relative to other non-frugivorous Muscicapidae, Sylvia spp. exhibit digestive adaptations specific to fruit processing; however, variation in external morphology constrains the degree of dependence on fruit within the genus.
