中红侧沟茧蜂寄生对寄主粘虫血淋巴糖类、脂类和蛋白质含量的影响

为揭示寄生蜂寄生对其寄主的生理调控机制, 室内对中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator寄生与未被寄生寄主粘虫Mythimna separata幼虫血淋巴中糖类、脂类和蛋白含量变化进行了测定。结果显示: 在滞育与非滞育条件下, 被寄生的粘虫血淋巴中糖原浓度均比未被寄生的粘虫高。滞育条件下寄生后12 d差异显著（P<0.05）, 被寄生粘虫糖原含量为7.93 μg/mL, 未被寄生粘虫糖原含量为4.70 μg/mL; 非滞育条件下寄生后6 d差异显著（P<0.05）, 被寄生粘虫糖原含量为14.35 μg/mL, 未被寄生粘虫糖原含量为5.47 μg/mL。海藻糖含量测定结果显示, 在滞育条件下寄生蜂对被寄生粘虫无明显影响, 而非滞育条件下影响效果差异显著（P<0.05）, 寄生后4 d被寄生粘虫海藻糖含量为46.82 μg/mL, 未被寄生粘虫含量为26.72 μg/mL。在滞育与非滞育两种条件下, 寄生与未被寄生寄主脂类和蛋白含量没有显著性差异。结果说明: 寄生蜂的存在使寄主血淋巴中的糖原含量增高; 非滞育条件是影响被寄生粘虫海藻糖含量变化主要因素; 粘虫对中红侧沟茧蜂的寄生表现相当强的适应性和忍受力。

不同地理种群荔蝽平腹小蜂的繁殖品质比较

应用牛命表技术对荔蝽平腹小蜂Anastatus japonicus Ashmead不同地理种群以柞蚕卵为繁殖寄主的条件下的重要生物学指标和参数进行测定和比较,结果表明,越南种群的主要生殖力指标,包括净生殖力(R_0)、内禀增长率(r_m)、周限增长率(λ)、种群倍增时间(DT)、单雌产卵量、产卵前期和产卵历期均比广西、广东和海南种群的理想;4种群的雌蜂寿命、羽化率和雌性比率则没有显著差异.因此利用柞蚕卵作为中间寄主对越南种群进行大规模人工繁殖,具有较大的生物防治应用前景.     

两种寄生蜂的卵巢结构与卵成熟特点初步观察

对斜纹夜蛾的内寄生蜂双斑侧沟茧蜂MicroplitisbicoloratusChen和南美斑潜蝇的外寄生蜂潜蝇姬小蜂Diglyhusisaea(Walker)的卵巢结构进行了研究。双斑侧沟茧蜂的2个卵巢管底部膨大有大量的卵,通过凹陷的颈部与萼区相连接,在萼区里大量成熟待产的卵浸泡在萼液中。产卵量随产卵时间延长而降低,在日产卵实验中,日产卵量202(±114SE),从1000至1800每2h的产卵量分别占日产卵量的38,32,17和13%;在一生产卵量实验中,9d产卵期,每头雌峰一生平均产卵量为502(±78SE)粒,第1d产卵量占一生总产卵量的42%。潜蝇姬小蜂的每个卵巢由3条卵巢管组成,每条输卵管中仅有1粒成熟卵,整个卵巢中只有6粒成熟卵,每次产卵数不超过6粒。结果表明,M.bicoloratus是早熟卵(proovigenic)类昆虫;D.isaea是同步卵(synovigenic)类昆虫。

Effects of juvenile hormone I and precocene I & II on Microplitis rufiventris when administered via its host, Spodoptera littoralis

We investigated the effect of juvenile hormoneI (JHI) and precocene I & II (PI & PII) onthe endo-developmental stages, reproductiveperformance and longevity of Microplitisrufiventris Kok. after topical treatment ofhost larvae of Spodoptera littoralis(Boisd.). Host larvae were treated with each ofthe test compounds by a single dose 2–4 h afterparasitization or 1 day prior to parasitoidemergence, or by repeated daily applications 2–4 h after parasitization to parasitoid emergence.JHI-treatments increased parasitoiddevelopmental time, induced developmentalabnormalities and inhibition of parasitoidegression. Interestingly, one of the causal factorsthat inhibited the parasitoid egression was themoulting of some parasitoid larvae into asupernumerary instar. Applications of PI or PIIto parasitized S. littoralis larvae didnot affect parasitoid developmental time, butsome developmental abnormalities were noted.Melanin formation in host's blood was greaterin PI-treatments than in PII-treatments.PII-treatments arrested development of somefirst instar parasitoid larvae typical of JHIexcess. Adult female wasps that emerged fromJHI-treated hosts lived for significantlylonger periods than control females, but didnot produce more offspring. The longevity andreproductive capacity of females whichdeveloped in hosts treated by precocenes werereduced compared with the females emerged fromcontrol hosts. Even the small number ofadult wasps from PII-treated hosts which livedfor the same period as control wasps, showed asignificant reduction in their reproductiveperformance. Repeated daily applications of thetest compounds reduced wasp fecundity andlongevity to a significantly greater degreethan the single applications, except for a lowdose of JHI (1 µg). The study demonstratesthat growth disrupters, such as JHs andprecocenes have a delayed developmental effect onM. rufiventris and points out the need tobe aware of these effects in implementingcontrol strategies of S. littoralis innatural habitats.     

Development of the solitary endoparasitoid Microplitis demolitor: host quality does not increase with host age and size

Abstract.  1. Many studies examining the relationship between host size, an index of host quality, and parasitoid fitness use development time and/or adult parasitoid size as currencies of fitness, while ignoring pre-adult mortality. Because the physiological suitability of the host may vary in different stages, sizes, or ages of hosts, a misleading picture of host quality may therefore be obtained in cases where fitness is based on only one or two developmental traits.
2. The development of the solitary koinobiont endoparasitoid Microplitis demolitor is examined in different larval age-classes of its host the soybean looper Pseudoplusia includens . Hosts were parasitised on days 1–8 after hatching from the egg, and development time, adult body size, and mortality of the parasitoid were compared.
3. A comparison of larval growth trajectories (using dry body mass) of M. demolitor revealed that parasitoid larvae attained over twice as much body mass in old hosts than in younger hosts. Similarly, adult parasitoid size at eclosion generally increased with host size, although parasitoids developing in smaller hosts lost a much lower proportion of mass between pupation and eclosion.
4. Overall egg-to-adult development was most rapid in intermediate-aged hosts, and longer in hosts at opposite ends of the age continuum. Moreover, parasitoid mortality varied non-linearly with host stage, and was generally higher in very young and older hosts.
5. Based on these results and other empirical data for koinobionts, it is argued that fitness functions in this group of parasitoids are not simply a positive function of host size or age, but instead may be distinctly dome-shaped, both patterns reflecting the degree of physiological and nutritional compatibility between the two organisms.     

Bt杀虫蛋白对不同品系棉铃虫和中红侧沟茧蜂生长发育的影响

以棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)室内敏感品系和田间品系为寄主,研究了亚致死浓度的Bt杀虫蛋白对中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator (Haliday)生长发育的影响。结果表明： 当寄主一直取食,或者在被寄生前12小时开始取食含Bt杀虫蛋白浓度为0,0.5,1.0, 2.0,4.0,8.0 μg/g的饲料时,与对照相比,中红侧沟茧蜂的卵-幼虫历期延长,茧重和成虫体重降低,成虫寿命缩短,但对茧期没有明显影响。Bt杀虫蛋白能有效抑制两个棉铃虫品系幼虫的生长,显著降低棉铃虫蛹重;当Bt蛋白浓度为4.0 μg/g时,显著降低棉铃虫化蛹率。用转双基因抗虫棉SGK321（表达Cry1A+CpTI蛋白）饲喂两个棉铃虫品系初孵幼虫,室内品系的第2、3、4和5天校正死亡率分别为48.5%、87.8%、96.6%和 95.8%,显著高于田间品系（30.9%、59.6%、80.9%及86.1%）。本研究表明,不论是田间品系还是室内品系,棉铃虫取食含Bt杀虫蛋白的饲料后,对中红侧沟茧蜂的生长发育都具有显著的负面作用。
