Intraspecific competition in immature Amblyseius fallacis,Amblyseius andersoni,Typhlodromus occidentalis and Typhlodromus pyri (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

Intraspecific competition in immature Amblyseius fallacis, Amblyseius andersoni, Typhlodromus occidentalis and Typhlodromus pyri was examined in the laboratory using small cages at five different predator densities (two, four, eight, 16 and 32) in the absence and presence of prey 100 eggs of two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Koch), at 25 ± 1°C, 80% RH and 16L:8D photoperiod. In the absence of spider mite prey, some individuals of immature phytoseiids showed increased development and surival with increasing predator densities up to certain limits, but none survived to the adult stage, except for a single male each of A. andersoni and A. fallacis who completed development by cannibalizing on conspecifics at a density of 32 predators per cage. In the absence of spider mite prey, the mean immature survival time was independent of the initial predator density, but the variance of survival time increased with predator density. In the presence of prey, the proportion of immatures surviving to adulthood generally decreased with initial predator density and dropped sharply to almost none at the predator density of 32 for A. fallacis, eight for A. andersoni, 16 for T. occidentalis and four for T. pyri. The number of prey consumed per predator during the first day generally decreased with predator density in all four species, as prey available per predator decreased and the competition for food increased with predator density. Our data indicate that scramble competition is operating in these four species. Although cannibalism was occasionally observed, especially after the exhaustion of prey and in the generalist predators such as A. andersoni, the immatures of these phytoseiids were less influenced by the interference of conspecifics than by the increasing difficulty of finding food at high predator densities. The implications of this study for understanding phytoseiid population dynamics and their use in biological control are discussed.     

褐稻虱在武育粳2号上不同生育期危害对水稻产量结构的影响

通过试验测定在武育粳2号上水稻拔节期正处于幼穗形成阶段,受褐稻虱危害实粒数减少,产量下降;孕穗期较耐褐稻虱危害,有明显的补偿作用;孕穗末期至灌浆初期为水稻受害最敏感的时期,危害后使结实率和千粒重均明显下降,水稻显著减产;灌浆后期至乳熟期受褐稻虱危害主要导致干粒重降低,且越接近成熟产量损失越低。     

含铬重组液激活部分缺失金属原子簇的钼铁蛋白的研究

棕色固氮菌（Ａｚｏｔｏｂａｃｔｅｒ ｖｉｎｅｌａｎｄｉｉ）固氮酶钼铁蛋白经邻菲口罗啉和Ｏ２ 处理后,变为部分缺失ＦｅＭｏｃｏ 和Ｐ－ｃｌｕｓｔｅｒ的失活蛋白。与由Ｋ２ＣｒＯ４、高柠檬酸铁、Ｎａ２Ｓ和二硫苏糖醇组成的重组液保温后,处理蛋白对乙炔和质子还原的活性都得以显著恢复;然而,它的吸收光谱和圆二色谱虽有明显恢复,但仍与还原钼铁蛋白有所不同。这表明,激活蛋白中也许存在功能与钼铁蛋白相似,而结构则有所差异的含铬（ＣｒＦｅ）蛋白     

干旱和湿润生境下辽东栎群体遗传结构及其适应意义的初步研究

应用同工酶分析方法,测定北京市东灵山区两个分别代表干旱和湿润生境的辽东栋（ＱｕｅｒｃｕｓｌｉａｏｔｕｎｇｅｎｓｉｓＫｏｉｚ．）群体的遗传结构。共分析统计了１３ 个酶系统３０ 个位点。结果表明：辽东栎群体内部存在丰富的遗传变异（多态位点百分率为８６．６％ ,等位基因平均数为２．２５）。两群体遗传结构的相似性程度很高（Ｄ＝ ０．０２９, ＧＳＴ＝ ０．０４８）;但在个别位点上仍存在较大差异,这些差异的产生可能与对小生境的适应有关。对不同年龄段的初步分析结果显示,基因频率的动态变化可能有其适应意义     

东海黑潮锋面涡旋区浮游动物的分布

本文根据中日黑潮合作调查研究,１９８９年４月航次在东海北部黑潮及其邻近海域采集的浮游生物样品,分析黑潮锋面涡旋区饵料浮游动物的分布特点及其与海洋环境的关系。首次报道了在东海黑潮锋面涡的冷中心区发现冷水性桡足类,从而丰富了调查区浮游动物区系的冷水种成分,并为锋面涡涌升水的研究和黑潮潜流的研究提供了生物学证据。     

移居海拔3700m高原青年体质综合评价方法的研究

在海拔３７００ｍ高原选择５０名男性青年的体重、立定跳远、引体向上、仰卧起坐、６０ｍ和２０００ｍ跑速度６项指标进行高原移居青年体制综合评价方法的研究。通过用百分位法制定各项指标评分标准,以各项指标评分相加作为体质总分,并用各项指标的简单相关系数与多元逐步回归方程的标准化偏回归系数的乘积（贡献率）分配“权重”,建立综合评价总分的计算式：Ｙ＝０．０５Ｘ１＋０．１６（Ｘ４＋Ｘ６）＋０．２１（Ｘ２＋Ｘ３＋Ｘ     

西藏自治区瓢虫记述——食植瓢虫亚科

根据珠穆朗玛峰及其附近地区生物考察的瓢虫科材料,属于食植瓢虫亚科的有19种,其中6个新种,7种为我国分布的新记录。 全部瓢虫科材料主要采集于西藏自治区的聂拉木、亚东、错那、察隅、泽当、墨脱和波密等地区,最高海拔达5,200米。在4,000米以上地点采获的主要属于瓢虫亚科的瓢虫族(Coccinellini),食菌瓢虫族(Psylloborini)和长足瓢虫族(Hippodamiini)。食植瓢虫亚科的材料则在海拔3,000米以下,这与其食料植物的垂直分布有关。

恒河猴心房利钠多肽的分离、纯化及活性研究

<正> 1983年以来,人们相继从人和大鼠等动物的心房中分离到心房利钠多肽(ANP)。但对非人灵长类动物——恒河猴的ANP了解甚少。由于ANP对机体循环系统的调节起着重要作用,其强大的降压、利钠、利尿的生理功能,在心血管疾病的防治方面具有重要意义。我们曾报导过恒河猴心房肌细胞中存在着大量的ANP样物质,随后对此物质进行了分离、纯化及活性检测,现简报如下。
