测定椰心叶甲Brontispalongissima(Gestro)的过冷却点和结冰点。各虫态中过冷却点值以卵和蛹最低,分别为-9.8℃和-9.0℃,成虫较高,雌、雄成虫分别为-5.9℃和-5.5℃;幼虫的过冷却点最高,平均为-4.5℃。结冰点由高到低依次为2龄幼虫、5龄幼虫、4龄幼虫、1龄幼虫、3龄幼虫、雄成虫、雌成虫、蛹和卵,分别为-0.3,-0.8,-1.1,-1.3,-1.3,-2.4,-2.7,-5.4和-5.5℃。综合分析认为,蛹、卵的耐寒能力最强。根据广东地区常年平均气温分析了在自然条件下该虫各虫态越冬情况,但由于生物学特性的限制,越冬虫态主要是成虫、蛹。     

沙葱萤叶甲的过冷却能力与抗寒性

【目的】沙葱萤叶甲Galeruca daurica Joannis于2009年开始在内蒙古草原暴发成灾, 发生地区不断扩大, 危害日趋严重, 严重影响内蒙古草原畜牧业的可持续发展和生态安全。低温是影响昆虫生长发育和存活的关键因子, 而昆虫对低温的耐受性决定了其越冬存活率。了解沙葱萤叶甲的过冷却点及抗寒能力有助于预测其分布范围及种群数量动态。【方法】采用热电偶法, 在室内测定了沙葱萤叶甲各发育阶段的过冷却点; 比较了幼虫在不同低温条件下（-6~-14℃）暴露2 h及在-5℃低温条件下暴露不同时间（0.5~8 d）的存活率。【结果】沙葱萤叶甲不同发育阶段的过冷却点存在显著差异, 从低到高依次为卵（-29.8℃）、 1龄幼虫（-14.6℃）、 2龄幼虫（-13.3℃）、 蛹（-12.1℃）、 3龄幼虫（-10.2℃）和成虫（-9.0℃）; 越冬卵12月和1月的过冷却点最低, 2月的过冷却点最高。随着处理温度的降低和处理时间的延长, 幼虫的存活率降低。1, 2和3龄幼虫在-5℃下的半致死时间（Ltime₅₀）分别为3.84, 3.80和2.28 d, 低温处理2 h后半致死温度（Ltemp₅₀）分别为-10.1, -9.1和-8.5℃, 高于其过冷却点。【结论】说明沙葱萤叶甲幼虫为不耐寒冷型(chill-intolerant)。     

甜菜夜蛾抗寒与越冬能力研究

研究了甜菜夜蛾不同虫态的过冷却点、耐低温能力、可能的越冬虫态及其越冬能力,并结合气象资料的分析,初步确定了我国甜菜夜蛾的越冬北界.甜菜夜蛾3～5龄幼虫的过冷却点较高,分别为-11.17℃、-11.96℃和-10.50℃(平均-11.21℃),预蛹期次之,为-12.47℃,蛹期最低,平均为-17.16℃.在5℃、0℃、-10℃和-5℃条件下,甜菜夜蛾各种虫态的LT50、LT90和LT99.9均随温度的降低而缩短,尽管不同虫态的耐低温能力有很大的差别.其耐低温能力由弱至强的排列顺序依次为卵<成虫<幼虫<蛹.这些结果表明,蛹是甜菜夜蛾的四个虫态中耐低温能力最强的,因而是最可能的越冬虫态.但由于蛹在0℃条件下的LT99.9为38.06d,表明甜菜夜蛾在冬季0℃以下的温度超过38d的地区不能越冬.另外,连续两年冬春的田间试验结果表明,蛹在北京西郊越冬死亡率均为100%,说明甜菜夜蛾在北京地区不能越冬.根据这些结果并结合我国气温的变化规律,初步将我国甜菜夜蛾的越冬北界定于北纬38°左右,即1月份-4℃等温线左右.     

桔小实蝇不同发育阶段过冷却点的测定

对桔小实蝇Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)不同发育阶段的过冷却点进行了测定。结果表明：同一虫期个体间的过冷却点出现不同程度的变异,但均服从正态分布。不同虫期的过冷却点差异显著,其中蛹的过冷却点最低（-12.2℃～-15.0℃）。老熟幼虫的过冷却点为-8.1℃。成虫的过冷却点最低值为7日龄雄虫（-10.5℃）和雌虫（-10.1℃）,最高值为60日龄雄虫（-5.9℃）和雌虫（-6.4℃）,但同一发育时期的雌、雄成虫之间的过冷却点没有差异。测定结果提示蛹期最有可能是该虫在温带地区越冬的虫态。

异色瓢虫成虫耐寒能力的季节性变化

为研究异色瓢虫Harmonia axyridis自然种群耐寒能力的季节性变化,测定了其过冷却点、体内含水量及总脂肪含量和低温存活力。结果表明：异色瓢虫成虫低温存活力呈现出明显的季节性变化,越冬前成虫的耐寒性显著强于夏季成虫和越冬后成虫。冷驯化（5℃, 5 d）可以显著提高夏季成虫的低温存活力。雌雄成虫过冷却点和体内含水量随气温的降低而降低,升高而升高。过冷却点7月份最高,分别为−7.6℃和−8.0℃;越冬中期（2008-01-15）最低,分别为−18.1℃ 和−16.9℃。雌雄成虫体内含水量9月份最高,分别为66.87%和68.01%,10月份显著降低,越冬后期（2008-02-19）最低,分别为52.94%和51.53%。越冬期间过冷却点和体内含水量显著低于其他时期。而雌雄成虫体内总脂肪含量在越冬开始就达到最高,分别为50.07%和47.93%,随后又逐渐降低,越冬期间显著高于其他时期。由此可知异色瓢虫自然种群的耐寒性呈现出明显的季节性变化,文中还就异色瓢虫自然种群耐寒性影响因素及其越冬策略进行了讨论。     

不同强度快速冷驯化对广聚萤叶甲成虫耐寒性生理指标的影响

【目的】快速冷驯化能在短时间内迅速提高昆虫的耐寒性,是昆虫应对外界温度急剧变化以及短时低温胁迫的重要途径。本研究旨在探究入侵杂草豚草Ambrosia artemisiifolia生防天敌广聚萤叶甲Ophraella communa对不同强度快速冷驯化的生理响应机制。【方法】分别对广聚萤叶甲成虫进行了不同温度（-4, 0, 4和8℃）下4 h及0℃下不同时间（1, 4 , 8和16 h）的快速冷驯化处理,并对其体内的生理物质含量和保护酶活性进行了测定。【结果】除8℃/4 h,0℃/1 h和0℃/8 h外,其余冷驯化处理均使广聚萤叶甲成虫过冷却点显著降低（P<0.05）,其中0℃/4 h处理组最低。而且,随着冷驯化温度降低、持续时间的增长,广聚萤叶甲成虫体甘油含量以及过氧化氢酶（CAT）、过氧化物酶（POD）和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性呈曲线变化,并于0℃/4 h处理时达到极值,但冷驯化处理对虫体自由水和总糖含量的影响并不显著（P≥0.05）。【结论】广聚萤叶甲快速冷驯化的诱导具有其临界强度值和最适条件,过大强度的驯化处理反而不利于其耐寒性的提高。本研究结果对于深入阐明广聚萤叶甲越冬策略以及人工培育耐寒种群的实践具有一定参考价值。     

The overwintering physiology of the emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis fairmaire (coleoptera: buprestidae)

Ability to survive cold is an important factor in determining northern range limits of insects. The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) is an invasive beetle introduced from Asia that is causing extensive damage to ash trees in North America, but little is known about its cold tolerance. Herein, the cold tolerance strategy and mechanisms involved in the cold tolerance of the emerald ash borer were investigated, and seasonal changes in these mechanisms monitored. The majority of emerald ash borers survive winter as freeze-intolerant prepupae. In winter, A. planipennis prepupae have low supercooling points (∼−30 °C), which they achieve by accumulating high concentrations of glycerol (∼4 M) in their body fluids and by the synthesis of antifreeze agents. Cuticular waxes reduce inoculation from external ice. This is the first comprehensive study of seasonal changes in cold tolerance in a buprestid beetle.     

Potential role of microbial pathogens in control of red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) ‐ A Review

The invasive Red Palm Weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most destructive pests of ornamental and economically important palms globally. It has been found in 50 % of date‐growing and 15 % of coconut‐producing countries in the world. Synthetic organic insecticides have been the default method to combat this pest, but they are clearly inefficient due to the secretive nature of the insect and there is concern about non‐target effects from blanket spraying. For this reason, there is increasing interest in biological control methods such as the possible use of microbial entomopathogens, which might be incorporated into IPM approaches. In this review we summarize research work on microbial control agents, their effectiveness against RPW and their integration with other control measures.     

Strong population genetic structure of an invasive species,Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), in southern China

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), was initially reported in China in the 1990s and is now considered one of the most successful invasive pests of palm plants in the country. A total of 14 microsatellite loci and one mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit Ι (cox I) gene fragment were used to investigate the genetic characteristics and structure of R. ferrugineus in southern China. High levels of genetic differentiation among populations and significant correlations between genetic and geographical distances indicated an important role of geographical distance in the distribution of the RPW in southern China. High gene flow between Fujian and Taiwan province populations illustrated the increased effects of frequent anthropogenic activities on gene flow between them. Genetic similarity (i.e., haplotype similarity) indicated that RPW individuals from Taiwan and Fujian invaded from a different source than those from Hainan. To some extent, the genetic structure of the RPW in southern China correlated well with the geographic origins of this pest. We propose that geographical distance, anthropogenic activities, and the biological attributes of this pest are responsible for the distribution pattern of the RPW in southern China. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that the most likely native sources of the RPW in southern China are India, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

The powdery mildew resistance protein RPW8.2 is carried on VAMP721/722 vesicles to the extrahaustorial membrane of haustorial complexes

Plants employ multiple cell‐autonomous defense mechanisms to impede pathogenesis of microbial intruders. Previously we identified an exocytosis defense mechanism in Arabidopsis against pathogenic powdery mildew fungi. This pre‐invasive defense mechanism depends on the formation of ternary protein complexes consisting of the plasma membrane‐localized PEN1 syntaxin, the adaptor protein SNAP33 and closely sequence‐related vesicle‐resident VAMP721 or VAMP722 proteins. The Arabidopsis thaliana resistance to powdery mildew 8.2 protein (RPW8.2) confers disease resistance against powdery mildews upon fungal entry into host cells and is specifically targeted to the extrahaustorial membrane (EHM), which envelops the haustorial complex of the fungus. However, the secretory machinery involved in trafficking RPW8.2 to the EHM is unknown. Here we report that RPW8.2 is transiently located on VAMP721/722 vesicles, and later incorporated into the EHM of mature haustoria. Resistance activity of RPW8.2 against the powdery mildew Golovinomyces orontii is greatly diminished in the absence of VAMP721 but only slightly so in the absence of VAMP722. Consistent with this result, trafficking of RPW8.2 to the EHM is delayed in the absence of VAMP721. These findings implicate VAMP721/722 vesicles as key components of the secretory machinery for carrying RPW8.2 to the plant–fungal interface. Quantitative fluorescence recovery after photobleaching suggests that vesicle‐mediated trafficking of RPW8.2–yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) to the EHM occurs transiently during early haustorial development and that lateral diffusion of RPW8.2–YFP within the EHM exceeds vesicle‐mediated replenishment of RPW8.2–YFP in mature haustoria. Our findings imply the engagement of VAMP721/722 in a bifurcated trafficking pathway for pre‐invasive defense at the cell periphery and post‐invasive defense at the EHM.     

中华通草蛉成虫抗寒能力季节性变化

中华通草蛉（Chrysoperla sinica）成虫在自然条件下抗寒能力的季节性变化研究表明,雌、雄成虫的抗寒能力均呈现出季节性的变化趋势,即随着冬季低温的到来,其抗寒能力逐渐增强,冬季过后又随气温的回升,其抗寒力逐渐减弱.雌、雄成虫的体内含水量、过冷却点（SCP）和结冰点（FP）均随气温的降低而降低,升高而升高,但体内总脂肪的含量却随气温的降低而升高,升高而降低.越冬代在越冬的前期和中期,雌、雄成虫体内的含水量和SCP均显著低于生长季节的其它各代,越冬代后期的含水量和SCP与生长季节其它各代没有显著差异.经回归分析发现,雌、雄成虫体内含水量与SCP之间均存在极显著负相关关系（p＜0.01）;越冬代成虫（特别是越冬前期）的体内总脂肪含量显著高于其它时期,并且雌成虫体内的总脂肪含量与SCP之间呈显著正相关（p＜0.05）,雄成虫体内总脂肪含量与SCP之间没有显著相关性（p＞0.05）.在一年的不同世代中,雌、雄成虫体内含水量只是在越冬前期有显著差异,SCP和体内总脂肪含量却在越冬后期有显著差异.
