冬虫夏草寄主蒲氏钩蝠蛾实验种群生命表

蒲氏钩蝠蛾Thitarodes pui是分布在西藏色季拉山的冬虫夏草寄主昆虫种类之一,海拔分布范围4100～4650m,完成一个世代需要3～4年,其中幼虫期漫长,经过7～9次蜕皮、历时990～1350d才能完成发育,环境条件变化及天敌因子等都对蒲氏钩蝠蛾的种群稳定产生重要影响。采用分段饲养幼虫的方法,构建了蒲氏钩蝠蛾试验种群生命表,并分析了种群增长趋势。结果表明,蒲氏钩蝠蛾的世代总存活率为2.6%,种群趋势指数为7.95,下代数量将是当代数量的7.95倍。因此,低存活率仍能维持蒲氏钩蝠蛾实验种群的稳定增长。     

冬虫夏草寄主蒲氏钩蝠蛾的生物学

蒲氏钩蝠蛾Thitarodes pui是冬虫夏草Ophiocordyceps sinensis的寄主昆虫种类之一,分布在西藏色季拉山海拔4100～4650 m的高寒灌丛草甸和高寒草甸.采用野外调查和人工饲养相结合的方法,对蒲氏钩蝠蛾的生物学进行了研究.结果表明,蒲氏钩蝠蛾的世代发育需要3～4年历时约1095～1460 ...     

一种鉴别蒲氏钩蝠蛾蛹及成虫雌雄的简易方法

为了探寻准确迅速鉴别蒲氏钩蝠蛾性别的方法,采用标记法对其蛹和成虫进行跟踪观察研究。结果表明:雌蛹腹部末端分节不明显,第8腹节腹面中央有一黑色纵裂,与肛裂缝之间的距离显著大于雄蛹,两侧平坦,无突起;雄蛹腹部末端分节较明显,第8腹节无裂缝,第9腹节中央有一黑色纵裂,裂缝较长,两侧各有一半圆形瘤状突起。雌性成虫腹部末端呈圆筒状,雄性成虫腹部末端圆钳状,透过毛丛可见雄性外生殖器的部分结构。这对于了解蒲氏钩蝠蛾的野外性比,观察其生物学特征、种群动态及开展预测预报等十分重要。     

冬虫夏草寄主蒲氏钩蝠蛾雄成虫触角感受器的观察

蒲氏钩蝠蛾Thitarodes pui(Zhang et al.)是冬虫夏草寄主昆虫之一,其雄成虫触角感受器在求偶交配过程中起主要作用。本研究应用电子扫描显微镜对蒲氏钩蝠蛾雄成虫触角上的化学感受器进行观察。结果发现,雄成虫触角上有7种感受器,即毛形感受器、刺形感受器、锥形感受器、腔锥形感受器、钟形感受器、Bhm氏鬃毛和鳞形感受器,其中以毛形感受器和鳞形感受器数目最多,腔锥感受器又分为长栓形和短栓形两种。综合本研究结果与已知蝠蛾的触角感受器,发现蝠蛾触角感受器在表面结构、感受器类型等方面与其它鳞翅目昆虫存在差异。     

蒲氏钩蝠蛾幼虫血淋巴物质与其耐寒性

作为冬虫夏草寄主,蒲氏钩蝠蛾具重要的经济研究价值,主要分布于青藏高原色季拉山,具有较强的耐寒性,其耐寒性机理尚不明了。通过调查蒲氏钩蝠蛾生境土壤温度与血淋巴物质组成周年变化,以期探讨其耐寒性机理。实验结果表明:土壤温度呈规律性升降趋势,1、2月最低,8月逐步上升至最高,而后逐渐下降;血淋巴中主要物质按含量从高到低排列依次为:蛋白质(8.37—74.2 mg/m L)、总糖(12.65—36.12 mg/m L)、脂肪(7.7—12.32 mg/m L)以及甘油(1.66—3.91 mg/m L);在温度较高的夏季,蛋白质、总糖以及脂肪等物质含量处于较低水平,相反,在寒冷的冬季,此三者的含量均居较高水平;此3类能源物质含量与野外土壤温度均呈极显著的负相关关系,因而血淋巴总热量值在夏季较低而冬季较高,与野外土壤温度亦呈极显著负相关关系;与之相反的是,血淋巴中甘油含量的周年变化规律与野外土壤温度无明显的相关关系。因此,血淋巴中蛋白质、总糖以及脂肪等物质对于蒲氏钩蝠蛾耐寒性有着非常重要的作用,幼虫通过积累3类物质,增加血淋巴能量值,抵御青藏高原的高寒气候;可能由于生境的不同,甘油在蒲氏钩蝠蛾中的作用与其它昆虫有差异,在耐寒性提高中的功能尚需进一步研究。实验结果为了解蒲氏钩蝠蛾的强耐寒性以及适应高寒环境的生理生化机制提供理论依据。     

色季拉山两种钩蝠蛾蛹的体型变异及判别分析

蒲氏钩蝠蛾与色季拉钩蝠蛾是分布于西藏色季拉山的两种冬虫夏草寄主,两者分布地点接近、生活史相似,在羽化之前难以区分。本文通过多种多元分析方法和均数比较,采用5个形态特征对上述两物种共计3个自然群体的蛹进行了对比分析。主成分和聚类分析结果表明,蛹的形态在种间区别明显,而种下不同群体的蛹较为相似。均数比较的结果显示,蒲氏钩蝠蛾蛹在纵向和横向维度上均大于色季拉钩蝠蛾,两个物种都表现出明显的种内性二型现象,雌性蛹的体型显著大于雄性。建立了两种钩蝠蛾蛹物种和性别的判别式,判别准确率均达到100%。因此,通过测量蛹的体型数据,可简便快速的初步分辨蒲氏钩蝠蛾与色季拉钩蝠蛾,并确定其性别,作为物种鉴定的有力参考。鉴于钩蝠蛾属昆虫独特的分布和分化模式,本文的方法应具有普适性,可在其他的冬虫夏草产地判定处于蛹期的钩蝠蛾样本。     

冬虫夏草菌在寄主钩蝠蛾幼虫中的潜伏侵染过程研究

冬虫夏草是青藏高原的特色名贵药材,是冬虫夏草菌Ophiocordyceps sinensis寄生于钩蝠蛾幼虫后形成的虫生子囊真菌,其发生机理和侵染途径至今未知。本文利用real-time q PCR实时定量技术检测了寄主蒲氏钩蝠蛾Thitarodes pui幼虫表皮、脂肪体、血淋巴和肠壁等组织中冬虫夏草菌定殖量,分别建立了起始于表皮的侵染路径(R20.678)和起始于肠道的侵染路径(R20.271)两种Holt数学模型,经比较分析后,推论冬虫夏草菌随口腔摄食侵染寄主幼虫的方式具有一定合理性和可行性,揭示冬虫夏草菌可以通过进食途径实现其对钩蝠蛾幼虫的带菌生长、侵染和寄生,从而为深入阐释冬虫夏草菌与寄主钩蝠蛾幼虫相互作用关系提供重要参考。

Early leaf miners and the ground plan of the lepidopteran larval trunk: Caterpillar morphology of the basal moths Heterobathmia,Eriocrania, and Acanthopteroctetes

The larval trunk morphology including chaetotaxy, locomotory structures, and trunk musculature of Heterobathmia pseuderiocrania, Eriocrania cicatricella, and Acanthopteroctetes unifascia is described using conventional light, polarization, and scanning electron microscopy. The ground plan morphology of the lepidopteran larva and neolepidopteran caterpillar is discussed in light of the life history succession from free soil dwelling organism to endophagous and finally to a primarily free living, angiosperm associated organism. I suggest that the larval morphology is argued to be strongly influenced by the shift in number of surfaces present in the larval environment. Especially the environment of the endophagous species, where the upper surface of the leaf mine is linked to the presence of dorsal locomotory structures such as the retractable calli and dorsal friction patches is proposed to have had a significant impact on the morphology and locomotory mechnism of the lepidopteran caterpillar. The chaetotaxy of the lepidopteran ground plan is found to be simple, consisting only of primary and secondary tactile setae and segmental proprioceptors. The presumption of Gerasimov ([1935] Zool Anz 112:177–194) that MXD1 of the prothorax is a shifted mesothoracic MD setae is supported. I suggest that the serial arrangement of the proprioceptors MD1, present on all trunk segments except the prothorax, and a trisetous MV group on all the thoracic segments is part of the lepidopteran larval ground plan. The absence of apodeme structures associated with trunk musculature in the nonglossatans suggests that this is an autapomorphic character of the Lepidoptera and it is further found to have been influential in the evolution of the typical caterpillar trunk. The attachments of the thoracic muscles directly to the trunk integument, suggest that the apodemal structures ancestral to the Amphiesmenoptera have been reduced in the Lepidoptera. Within the non‐Neolepidoptera, the lifehistory shift may have resulted in reduction of the dorsal locomotory structures, such as calli. The abdominal musculature and structural similarities further suggest that the ventral calli are structural predecessors to the crotchet bearing proleg of the “typical caterpillar.” J.

The use of larval chaetotaxy in butterfly systematics, with special reference to the Danaini (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Abstract. The chaetotaxy of the first instar larva of Danaus gilippus is described in detail. Comparisons are made with several other danaine species and with the heliconiine Heliconius melpomene. A new nomenclature for the setae of abdominal segment 10 is proposed and a comparison made with that of Singh (1951). The potential use of chaetotaxy in butterfly systematics is discussed.

A description of the larva and pupa of Trox mandli (Coleoptera, Trogidae) from the Russian Far East

The previously unknown larvae of Trox mandli Balthasar of the family Trogidae are described and illustrated. The larva of T. mandli Balthasar differs from that of T. sabulosus (Linnaeus) in shape of the setae on abdominal tergite I, and from that of T. scaber (Linnaeus), in the chaetotaxy of the epipharynx. A key to the known larvae of the genus Trox Fabricius from the Russian Far East is given.     

A revised numerical chaetotaxy for neotropical Phlebotomine sandfly larvae (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Phlebotomine larval taxonomy is briefly reviewed with particular reference to New World species, of which under one fifth have been adequately described as immature stages. A new numerical chaetotaxy is proposed following studies on the larvae of six species from Brazil. Setal numeration is used in a manner which demonstrates apparent segmental homologies and the use of letter designations for some setae has been reduced. With two exceptions the mesothoracic, metathoracic and abdominal setae are homologized with those of the posterior prothorax, and the anterior prothoracic setae are regarded as atypical.     

Tinaminyssus juxtamelloi sp. n. (Acari: Dermanyssidae; Rhinonyssinae) from the nasal passages of the band-tailed pigeon, Columba fasciata, in New Mexico.

Tinaminyssus juxtamelloi sp. n. is described from the nasal passages of Columba fasciata in New Mexico. The new species is most similar to Tinaminyssus melloi (Castro) 1948 and T. turturi (Fain) 1962, but differs in (1) possessing only 5 pairs of ventral opisthosomal setae, (2) presence of 3 pairs of enlarged setae on the dorsal opisthosoma at the posterolateral margin of the podosomal plate (1 pair) and at the lateral margins of the opisthosomal plate (2 pairs), (3) elongate shape and larger size of the poststigmatic plates, and (4) chaetotaxy and solenidiotaxy of the legs, especially tarsus I with a cluster of 4 solenida and 1 club-shaped solenidion on the apex of the dorsum. The relationships of this with allied species of the genus Tinaminyssus from columbiform birds are briefly discussed.     

Characterization of a coelomic gregarine parasite from Thitarodes pui (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) in the Tibetan Plateau

Thitarodes pui, one of the host species of entomopathogenic fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis, has great economic importance in the Tibetan Plateau. We report here, for the first time, a gregarine parasite found in the coelom of 7th instar and adults of T. pui. Gregarine gamonts (ovoid, ～15×8μm) underwent syzygy to produce reproductive gametocysts in T. pui larval hemolymph. All infected T. pui carried 2-17 mature gametocysts filled with numerous oocysts (lemon-shaped, 17.17±0.73×6.49±0.4μm). Transmission electron microscopy showed that these oocysts contained vacuoles of various sizes and amylopectin granules in the cytoplasm; scanning electron microscopy revealed a number of small bumps all over the surface of these oocysts. Small subunit ribosomal DNA sequence analysis showed a close relationship between the gregarine and the species of Ascogregarina (Eugregarinorida: Lecudinidae). Internal transcribed spacers and 5.8S ribosomal DNA from this gregarine exhibited 76% highest sequence identity with that from Ascogregarina culicis Ross.
