降水对新疆马铃薯甲虫分布的影响

为明确降水在中国新疆地区对马铃薯甲虫分布的影响,揭示制约马铃薯甲虫分布扩散的关键环境因子,为马铃薯甲虫的持续防控和综合治理提供理论依据。该研究结合新疆历史降水数据,对马铃薯甲虫现有分布区内的降水时空格局展开分析,比较了马铃薯甲虫危害程度与降水时空格局的关系。结果表明:马铃薯甲虫现主要分布于新疆年降水量在150 mm以上地区,早期定殖的地区降水量大于后期定殖区,其扩散方向为自西向东,同时年降水量也逐渐减少。马铃薯甲虫危害程度也随着经度增加而递减,早期发现马铃薯甲虫的地区受危害程度较重。降水量减少导致的水分缺乏对马铃薯甲虫的分布扩散具有一定的制约作用。     

危害茄科蔬菜的外来入侵害虫——马铃薯甲虫

马铃薯甲虫是世界著名的入侵害虫,是我国的重要检疫性有害生物,主要危害马铃薯、茄子和西红柿等茄科蔬菜。该甲虫目前分布于美洲、欧洲和亚洲等30多个国家和地区,于1993年入侵我国新疆,到2010年扩散到36个县市,最前沿为木垒县。该文介绍了马铃薯甲虫的扩散历史、危害情况、发生规律以及防治措施,指出我国在西北方向遭受新疆马铃薯甲虫入侵内地威胁的同时,也在东北方向遭受俄罗斯滨海边区马铃薯甲虫对黑龙江及东北地区入侵的严重威胁,应加强防范。     

不同寄主植物对马铃薯甲虫的引诱作用

随着马铃薯甲虫不断扩展其分布范围,其对寄主的适应性也在发生变化。在我国,马铃薯甲虫的主要寄主植物是马铃薯、茄子、番茄和天仙子。为进一步明确马铃薯甲虫对不同寄主植物的嗜食程度,研究了以上4种寄主植物对马铃薯甲虫的引诱作用,以及取食量的影响,同时进行了田间寄主选择性的调查。选择性试验结果表明:不同寄主植物对马铃薯甲虫的引诱作用差异显著,其中马铃薯、天仙子引诱作用显著高于茄子和番茄;取食量研究结果表明:马铃薯甲虫各龄期对不同寄主24 h取食量的大小依次为:马铃薯>茄子>天仙子>番茄;1—2龄幼虫取食量小,3—4龄幼虫及成虫暴食寄主叶片,是马铃薯甲虫造成危害的主要阶段。     

马铃薯甲虫在中国的适生区

马铃薯甲虫是一种外来的有害生物,已在新疆、黑龙江等地建立种群,危害马铃薯、番茄等农作物,危害范围在中国逐年蔓延扩大。预测马铃薯甲虫在中国的适生区,有利于制定该虫的早期监测预警及控制。根据马铃薯甲虫现有的分布记录,筛选出主要的环境变量,采用MaxEnt模型和ArcGIS软件对其在中国的潜在分布区进行预测和分析。结果表明:用主成分分析法、相关性检验结合刀切法筛选出7个主要环境变量,MaxEnt模型模拟的AUC值为0.917,预测结果与实际拟合度非常高; ArcGIS软件中重分类方法计算出马铃薯甲虫当代适生区总面积为3.72×106km2,占中国国土面积的38.67%;高适生区仅占中国国土面积的0.08%,主要位于内蒙古自治区包头市和呼和浩特市辖区;中适生区面积为1.26×106km2,占中国国土面积的13.07%,包括黑龙江、辽宁和河北的东部,四川的西部,甘肃的西南部,河南的西北部,山西的南部,新疆的北部,江苏、湖北、贵州和安徽的中部地区,山东广大地区以及内蒙古包头市周边;低适生区面积为2.45×106km2,占中国国土面积的25.52%,主要分布在内蒙古中部、新疆北部、东北东部、华北、华中和华南的广大地区;年平均温度、最冷月最低温度和最干季度降水量是影响马铃薯甲虫适生区分布的最主要环境变量。     

不同寄主植物上马铃薯甲虫种群生长发育的比较研究

马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)是马铃薯Solanum tuberosum等茄科作物上的一种毁灭性害虫。为了探明寄主植物对新疆马铃薯甲虫种群生长发育的影响, 本研究通过非选择性试验测定了马铃薯、 茄子Solanum melongena和番茄Lycopersicon esculentum 3种栽培寄主及野生寄主中亚天仙子Hyoscyamus pusillus对马铃薯甲虫种群生长发育、 存活、 繁殖及生命表参数的影响。结果表明： 马铃薯甲虫幼虫虽然能够取食番茄, 但幼虫的发育历期长、 存活率低且蛹不能羽化, 表明番茄不是新疆马铃薯甲虫种群的适宜寄主。马铃薯、 茄子、 中亚天仙子3种寄主植物对该虫卵、 幼虫、 蛹的存活率和发育历期及成虫产卵前期没有显著影响, 但对蛹重和繁殖力影响显著。取食不同寄主植物后, 该虫蛹重和繁殖力从大到小的次序为： 马铃薯＞茄子＞中亚天仙子; 种群的净增殖率(R₀)、 内禀增长率(r_m)和种群趋势指数(I)从大到小依次为： 马铃薯＞茄子＞中亚天仙子。因此马铃薯为新疆马铃薯甲虫种群的最适宜寄主, 其次为茄子和中亚天仙子, 而番茄为不适宜寄主。     

马铃薯甲虫成虫田间扩散规律

马铃薯甲虫具有很强的自主扩散能力,为进一步明确马铃薯甲虫在田间自然条件下的扩散特性,采用"标记—释放—回捕"方法研究了农田生态系统下的马铃薯甲虫扩散规律。结果表明:随着释放时间的推后,回捕得到的虫口数量逐渐减少。田间的平均拥挤度、平均密度和拥挤度指标也逐渐减小,至释放后7 d,马铃薯甲虫的空间分布格局变化为均匀分布。在扩散速度上,马铃薯甲虫越冬代和第2代成虫扩散速度显著高于第1代成虫,而越冬代和第2代成虫的扩散速度差异不明显,雌虫的扩散速度大于雄虫。在扩散方向上,各世代成虫扩散没有明显的方向性,呈向四周随机扩散趋势。     

艾比湖区域景观格局空间特征与地表水质的关联分析

为进一步明确区域土地利用/覆被—景观格局对河流水质影响的空间尺度。选择新疆艾比湖区域为研究对象,以25个水质采样点为中心,建立5种尺度的河流缓冲区并提取不同尺度下的土地利用/覆被-景观格局数据。首先,通过主成分分析获得水环境的主要水质变量。其次,利用冗余分析(RDA)方法探讨研究区不同宽度缓冲区土地利用/覆被—景观格局对河流水质的影响,获得水质管理的有效缓冲区。最后,引入突变点分析方法进一步寻找导致水质变量沿景观梯度突变的特定位置。结果表明:(1)土地利用/覆被—景观格局在不同宽度缓冲区内对河流水质的影响不同。4 km缓冲区土地利用/覆被—景观格局对区域水质有较强的分异解释能力,因此4 km缓冲区的景观格局合理配置对河流水质管理尤为重要。(2)通过偏RDA分析发现4 km缓冲区中,影响区域水质的主要环境变量为景观水平斑块密度、类型水平耕地斑块密度和森林聚集度。(3)在偏RDA分析的基础上,对4 km缓冲区内的景观指数进行突变点分析研究,发现区域景观水平斑块密度为90—105 m/hm~2,类型水平耕地的斑块密度ED值在90—110 m/hm~2、林草地的AI值在70%—90%,是艾比湖区域水质保护的最佳突变值,该值为艾比湖区域水质保护的阈值。本研究从多个角度对新疆艾比区域的土地利用/覆被—景观格局对区域水质的影响进行定量分析,揭示该地区景观生态变化的规律,为区域景观格局优化和土地合理规划提供理论依据,并对改善"丝绸之路经济带"生态环境、实现资源可持续利用具有重要的现实意义和理论价值。     

诊断剂量法监测新疆维吾尔自治区马铃薯甲虫的抗药性

本文在测定发现新疆特克斯县马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata(Say)田间种群对测定杀虫剂敏感的基础上,采用特克斯田间种群确定了19种常用农药品种的诊断剂量,监测了新疆奇台(QT)、阜康(FK)、乌鲁木齐(URMQ)、昌吉(CJ)、乌苏(US)、特克斯(TKS)、尼勒克(NLK)、察布查尔(QPQL)、新源(XY)和阿勒泰(ALT)共10个县市马铃薯甲虫对常用药剂的抗性水平。发现采自昌吉和新源的马铃薯甲虫种群对三氟氯氰菊酯分别为34.3%和65.7%;采自乌苏的马铃薯甲虫种群对高效氯氰菊酯的存活率为25.0%;采自奇台和尼勒克的马铃薯甲虫种群对马拉硫磷存活率分别为60.1%和29.0%;采自昌吉和尼勒克的马铃薯甲虫种群对丁硫克百威存活率分别为64.3%和99.0%;采自昌吉的马铃薯甲虫种群对吡虫啉存活率为50.3%。上述结果证明马铃薯甲虫在新疆局部地区已对常用农药出现明显抗性。     

两种野生寄主对马铃薯甲虫繁殖策略及后代生长发育的影响

为明确野生寄主植物对马铃薯甲虫种群繁殖及生长发育方面的影响,本研究比较了天仙子、刺萼龙葵2种野生寄主对马铃薯甲虫产卵量、孵化率、发育历期以及种群生命参数的影响.结果表明:取食不同寄主植物的马铃薯甲虫产卵量和孵化率均有显著差异(P＜0.05),卵期无显著差异(P＞0.05),取食天仙子的雌虫产卵量显著低于取食马铃薯和刺萼龙葵雌虫产卵量;1龄幼虫的存活率有显著性差异(P＜0.05),取食天仙子的雌虫的下一代1龄幼虫存活率显著低于其他寄主植物1龄幼虫;取食不同寄主植物的下一代马铃薯甲虫种群净增值率(R0)、内禀增长率(rm)、周限增长率(λ)都有显著差异(P＜0.05),世代平均周期(T)无显著性差异(P＞0.05);取食天仙子的马铃薯甲虫下一代种群净增值率(R0)、内禀增长率(rm)、周限增长率(λ)显著小于取食马铃薯、刺萼龙葵的下一代种群.由此可知,天仙子作为马铃薯甲虫野生过渡寄主植物,对马铃薯甲虫种群繁殖策略的作用弱于马铃薯和刺萼龙葵.在马铃薯甲虫前沿分布区,应进一步加强对刺萼龙葵野生寄主的铲除,防止马铃薯甲虫种群进一步扩散,保障马铃薯产业健康发展和粮食安全.     

新疆石河子和博州地区马铃薯甲虫抗药性检测

马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata(Say)在新疆北部的危害逐年加重。本文采用点滴法检测了石河子、博州和昌吉3个地区4个马铃薯甲虫田间种群对有机磷、氨基甲酸酯、拟除虫菊酯、新烟碱类等15种杀虫药剂的抗性水平。结果表明,所检测的沙湾、玛纳斯、博乐和奇台4个马铃薯田间种群对拟除虫菊酯类高效氯氟氰菊酯和溴氰菊酯产生了11～155倍的抗性,博乐种群对高效氯氰菊酯抗性为27倍;4个种群对氨基酸酯类的丁硫克百威也产生了33～59倍的抗性。另外,对硫丹和阿维菌素也分别产生了11～23倍和4～7倍的抗性。但对水胺硫磷等4种有机磷和吡虫啉等3种新烟碱类杀虫药剂仍然比较敏感。研究结果为上述地区马铃薯甲虫的有效控制提供重要依据。     

非寄主植物间套作对马铃薯甲虫种群及其天敌的影响

农田作物布局作为害虫生态调控的重要内容,一直是保护性生物防治的研究热点。为进一步明确马铃薯田块作物间套作种植模式对马铃薯甲虫种群动态的影响,探索马铃薯甲虫可持续防控的新思路与新方法,本研究在马铃薯甲虫发生期对马铃薯-玉米、马铃薯-向日葵、马铃薯单作3种作物间套作模式进行田间种群数量调查,分析比较不同种植模式下的马铃薯甲虫种群动态差异。结果表明：在马铃薯甲虫发生期,马铃薯单作第二代幼虫为害高峰期出现晚于两种间套作模式,第一代成虫为害高峰期早于两种间套作模式。第二代幼虫为害低峰期（8月26日-9月7日）时,马铃薯-玉米间套作幼虫量显著低于马铃薯单作（P<0.05）,马铃薯-玉米间套作幼虫量显著低于马铃薯-向日葵（P<0.05）,整个调查期间,马铃薯单作虫量要大于两种间套作。此外,天敌昆虫群落调查表明：间套作玉米异色瓢虫量显著高于马铃薯单作（P<0.05）,间套作向日葵的草蛉、食蚜蝇虫量高于马铃薯单作。间套作向日葵或玉米对越冬代马铃薯甲虫的扩散有影响,马铃薯播种初期间套作向日葵或玉米能在一定程度上阻隔马铃薯甲虫的定殖扩散。     

Flight take-off performance of Colorado potato beetle in relation to potato phenology

The flight take-off frequency of adult Colorado potato beetles, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), from potato plants, Solanum tuberosum L. 'Red Pontiac' at the bloom stage of development was 2.2-2.5-fold that of Colorado potato beetle from plants at the vegetative stage. Tests were conducted in a flight chamber over a period of 3 h. Prefeeding Colorado potato beetles for 48 h on potato plants at the bloom or at the vegetative stage before placing them into the flight chamber resulted in the same significantly higher flight take-off frequency from potato plants at the bloom stage than from plants at the vegetative stage. These results demonstrate that the factor in potato plants in bloom that stimulates the flight take-off of the Colorado potato beetle is independent of the feeding history of the beetles and begins acting only when the beetles are in the presence of the plant. According to these results, the dispersal of adult Colorado potato beetles from potato fields in bloom to younger potato fields with plants at the vegetative stage, previously reported in the literature, is at least partly explained by the effect of plant phenology on the frequency of flight take-off. Results confirm the value of planting potato fields of similar phenology over as wide an area as possible to reduce Colorado potato beetle dispersal between fields. Results also imply that staggering the planting dates of conventional potato refuge areas near Colorado potato beetle transgenic or conventionally resistant potato fields is a sound management practice, because it promotes the movement of wild beetles over to the adjacent younger resistant crops.     

Potato field colonization by low-density populations of Colorado potato beetle as a function of crop rotation distance

Monitoring of 10 and 12 commercial potato, Solanum tuberosum L., fields in 2004 and 2005, respectively, confirmed for a low-density population of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), that potato fields nearest to the previous year's potato fields are significantly more colonized by this beetle than more distant fields. This pattern is partially explained by the presence of a reservoir of colonizers estimated at 35% of the season-long colonizing population in 2004 and 2005. These beetles, which emerged before potato plants broke the ground, were ready to establish themselves on nearby potato plants. The colonizing Colorado potato beetles dispersed within the maximum range of 1.5 km over a season, and the colonization risk for the new crop decreased with distance from the previous year's crop. There was no evidence that rotation distance delayed colonization. In terms of pest management, although the findings confirm that only long 1.5-km rotations can prevent Colorado potato beetle colonization, they also demonstrate that short rotations of 100 m or more can make substantial contributions to pest management programs for low-density beetle populations.     

Effect of crop rotation distance on populations of Colorado potato beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae): development of areawide Colorado potato beetle pest management strategies

The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), overwinters adjacent to field edges and infests nearby fields in the spring, primarily by walking. Crop rotation is known to be an effective cultural control against Colorado potato beetle populations limiting spring infestations. Spatial separation is an important consideration in optimizing the rotational effect because long-distance rotations have been shown to reduce Colorado potato beetle infestations. To determine the effect of long-distance rotations on Colorado potato beetle populations in commercial Wisconsin potato production, a geographic area of >18,200 ha (>45,000) acres in southern Portage County, Wisconsin, was selected as an experimental area for areawide pest management of the Colorado potato beetle. From 1997 to 1999, beetle populations at edges within each potato field in this region were determined by spring and fall field sampling. The rotational distance between current and previous potato fields was measured and analysis was run between the distance and Colorado potato beetle populations. Long-distance rotations of >400 m were an effective cultural control management strategy to limit adult beetle infestations in the spring. This strategy can be optimized when collaborating growers are able to maximize their rotational distances by coordinating their rotational schemes within large areawide, geographic locations. Deploying long-distance rotations within a geographic area over many years would limit Colorado potato beetle populations and could result in a significantly reduced Colorado potato beetle populations entering fields in the spring.     

Pymetrozine causes a nontarget pest, the Colorado potato beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), to leave potato plants

Pymetrozine is a selective insecticide that targets aphids. Published assessments of the effects of pymetrozine on nontarget organisms focus mainly on predatory insects, and they rarely indicate toxicity. In a laboratory bioassay, survival of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), larvae was not affected by pymetrozine exposure. We subsequently used pymetrozine to implement low-aphid-density treatments in a field experiment that involved separate manipulations of Colorado potato beetle density. Unexpectedly, the addition of Colorado potato beetle adults and eggs did not increase the densities of Colorado potato beetle larvae in plots that were sprayed with pymetrozine (applied with water and an adjuvant). In control plots sprayed with water and adjuvant (without pymetrozine), addition of Colorado potato beetles increased densities of their larvae. Data collected on a smaller scale suggest that a behavioral mechanism underlies the population-level pattern: Colorado potato beetle larvae become more active and are less likely to remain on a host plant after exposure to pymetrozine. Thus, potato, Solanum tuberosum L., growers who use pymetrozine against aphids also might benefit in terms of Colorado potato beetle control.     

Variation in Hsp70 levels after cold shock: signs of evolutionary responses to thermal selection among Leptinotarsa decemlineata populations

Individuals of widely spread species are expected to show local adaption in temperature tolerance as they encounter a range of thermal conditions. We tracked thermal adaptations of the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) that invaded Europe within the last 100 years. It has occupied various conditions although, like the majority of invasive species, it lost a measurable amount of neutral genetic variation due to bottleneck effect when it invaded Europe. We exposed diapausing beetles originated from three different latitudes (54°N, 59°N, 60°N) to cold shock (-5°C, 1.5 hrs) in order to test if beetles from the northern populations express differential levels of cold-induced and constitutive Hsp70 compared to the beetles from milder temperature regime. The level of cold-induced Hsp70 was lowest in the northernmost beetle populations while the level of constitutive Hsp70 did not differ with the population. Moreover, the southernmost beetles were more plastic in their response to cold shock than the northernmost beetles. These results suggest that physiological adaptation, like the synthesis of Hsp70, can evolve very quickly.     

Studies of adaptation of carabid beetles (Coleoptera,carabidae) to feeding on the Colorado potato beetle, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Leptinotarsa decemlineata</Emphasis> say (Coleoptera,chrysomelidae) in Agrocenoses of potato and other crops

In 1979–2008, serological investigation of carabid beetles as predators of the Colorado potato beetle was carried out in the fields of potato and other Solanaceae crops in nine regions of Russia, Moldova, and Ukraine. The fraction of carabid beetles feeding on the pest in the potato, tomato, and egg-plant fields grows with the duration of the pest presence in the region and is proportional to its population density.     

Reproductive status and flight activity of the overwintered Colorado potato beetle

Mating behavior of post-diapause Colorado potato beetles, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), was observed within an overwintering site, a rotated potato field, newly colonized potato plants, and under laboratory conditions. The influence of spring mating on beetle flight in the presence and in the absence of host plants was investigated using a computer-linked flight mill system. Diapause was terminated simultaneously in male and female beetles, and the first matings were observed as early as within the first 24 h after the beetles emerged from the soil (60–90 DD accumulated). The beetles mated within the overwintering site, the potato field, and the fields rotated out of potatoes. Mating status did not affect flight behavior of overwintered beetles; however, unfed beetles displayed higher flight activity than fed beetles. Most flight activity took place soon after flight muscle regeneration, and then declined sharply by the 5th day after flight initiation. Mating in or near overwintering sites soon after diapause termination might be an important factor in providing gene flow between insecticide-resistant and insecticide-susceptible Colorado potato beetle populations, and should be considered in designing resistance management plans.     

Hormonal regulation of proline synthesis and glucose release in the fat body of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

In the adult males of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, corpora cardiaca extract injected in vivo gives rise to an increase in glucose and a decrease in alanine concentration of the haemolymph. The regulation of proline synthesis and glucose release in the fat body of the Colorado potato beetle was investigated further in vitro. Proline regulates its own synthesis by a feedback inhibition. Moreover, a factor present in extracts from the corpora cardiaca stimulates synthesis in the fat body in vitro. This effect was demonstrated with corpora cardiaca extracts from beetles, locusts and cokroaches. Also, synthetic adipokinetic hormone stimulates proline synthesis in the fat body of the Colorado beetle. In addition, a release of glucose from the fat body of the beetle could be evoked by the addition of locust and beetle corpora cardiaca extracts or synthetic adipokinetic hormone. The physiological significance of both effects is discussed.
