阿维灭幼脲对马尾松毛虫幼虫的毒力测定

运用阿维灭幼脲生物复合剂对3-4龄的马尾松毛虫幼虫进行毒力测定,用机率分析法求得马尾松毛虫的死亡率与阿维灭幼脲剂量对数—机率直线,建立毒力回归线。研究表明,25%阿维灭幼脲悬浮剂对3-4龄幼虫的致死中稀释浓度为49.6倍液,即LC50=5.04 mg.L-1;阿维灭幼脲悬浮剂与尿素混合剂对3-4龄的致死中稀释浓度为52.5倍液,即LC50=4.76 mg.L-1;25%阿维灭幼脲悬浮剂10倍稀释液对3-4龄马尾松毛虫幼虫的LT50为0.57 d,到50倍稀释液时LT50为7.35 d;25%阿维灭幼脲悬浮剂与尿素混合剂10倍稀释液对3-4龄马尾松毛虫幼虫的LT50为0.71 d,到50倍稀释液时LT为6.13 d,随着浓度稀释倍数的增加,致死中时间延长。研究结果可为今后马尾松毛虫的林间防治提供科学依据。     

环境因素对长颚斗蟋翅型分化的影响

长颚斗蟋具有明显的翅二型现象。比较长颚斗蟋不同翅型成虫的形态差异,结果表明其短翅型成虫除翅已明显退化外,与长翅型成虫并无其他形态差异。为探究环境因素与长颚斗蟋翅型分化的关系,就光周期、温度及密度对其翅型分化的影响进行了研究。结果表明,短光周期会抑制其长翅型的形成,而LD16∶8h的长光周期则促进长翅个体的分化,但非自然条件的长光周期及全明或全暗条件与上述结论并不一致。变化光周期亦会影响其翅型分化,而随着改变光周期的时间及方向的不同,影响作用亦不相同。在孵化后第20天及40天经历光周期的趋长变化会促进其长翅化;而在孵化后第20天经历光周期的趋短变化则会抑制其长翅化,第30天转移却有促进作用。此外,低温(20℃)条件诱导长颚斗蟋短翅化,高温(25℃,30℃)则促进长翅型的分化。单独饲养时,LD12∶12h与LD16∶8h条件下的若虫均羽化为短翅型成虫,当密度增加至2或5头/容器时,成虫的长翅率均明显增加,说明高密度亦是长翅型个体出现的重要诱因。     

The composition of the free fatty acids from Dendrolimus pini exuviae

The pine moth Dendrolimus pini effectively resists many insecticides, but it can be controlled by the use of bioinsecticides such as entomopathogenic fungi. In the use of microbial agents for the biocontrol of D. pini, it is important to identify the cuticular lipids of this pest if we are to understand the factors responsible for the preferential adhesion or selective repulsion of entomopathogenic fungi that are potentially useful in biocontrol. In this work the qualitative and quantitative analyses of free fatty acids in two exuviae extracts (petroleum ether and dichloromethane) and two developmental stages (larval-larval and larval-pupal molts) were studied. The free fatty acid composition of the epicuticular lipids from exuviae of D. pini was characterized chemically using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-electron impact mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Structural analyses of the dichloromethane extracts from larval-larval exuviae (LLE) and larval-pupal exuviae (LPE) revealed that the carbon numbers for the major acid moieties ranged from C_8:0 to C_34:0. Only C_23:0 was not identified in the LPE extract. The relative contents of fatty acids in the extracts varied from trace amounts to 34%. The fatty acids extracted by dichloromethane were essentially the same as those in the petroleum ether extract. We also identified dehydroabietic acid in the exuviae of D. pini. The respective quantities of dehydroabietic acid obtained from D. pini LLE and LPE were 1763 ± 103 μg/g exuviae and 11521 ± 1198 μg/g of exuviae.     

Small subunit ribosomal RNA sequence of Henneguya exilis (class Myxosporea) identifies the actinosporean stage from an oligochaete host

Several transmission studies, as well as recent molecular data, have indicated that the two classes Myxosporea and Actinosporea represent different life cycle stages of Myxozoa. To evaluate the life cycles of myxozoa in catfish aquaculture systems, the small subunit (18S) ribosomal RNA gene sequences of Henneguya exilis, a myxosporean from channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus, and an actinosporean (previously designated as Aurantiactinomyxon janiszewskai) from the aquatic oligochaete Dero digitata were determined. The sequences were identical, indicating that H. exilis and the actinosporean are alternate life stages of a single species. This is the first report identifying the actinosporean stage of the genus Henneguya.

试验使用动态顶空吸附的方法,提取了被害马尾松(Pinus massoniana)针叶挥发物,并通过气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)及标准样品进行鉴定。结果表明,被害马尾松针叶挥发性物质主要包括绿叶挥发物、单萜、含氧单萜及倍半萜等四大类物质;挥发物中以单萜的含量最高,其它3类物质含量较低。通过触角电位图(EAG)技术,测定了23种挥发性物质标准样品的石蜡油溶液对蚕饰腹寄蝇(Blepharipa zebina)雌蝇的电生理活性。结果表明,蚕饰腹寄蝇雌蝇对α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、长叶烯、莰烯、乙酸冰片酯等的相对触角电位反应值与湿润空气对照相比并无显著差异;雌蝇对其它刺激物的相对触角电位反应值与湿润空气对照相比均存在显著差异。同时测定了雌蝇对8种标样,在5个浓度系列下的剂量-反应,并分析了反应阈值。结果表明,蚕饰腹寄蝇雌蝇对顺-3-己烯-1-醇和里哪醇的反应阈值为0.1μg/μl,对壬醛的反应阈值为1μg/μl,对柠檬烯、α-水芹烯、2,6-二甲基-2,4,6-辛三烯、β-石竹烯4种物质的反应阈值为100μg/μl,而对α-蒎烯,在测试的剂量范围内不存在反应阈值。在确定对蚕饰腹寄蝇有生理活性的物质成分和分析反应阈值的基础上,对寄生蝇类定位寄主的机制进行了讨论。

Extinction-colonization dynamics structure genetic variation of spotted sunfish (Lepomis punctatus) in the Florida Everglades

The population genetics of aquatic animals in the Florida Everglades may be strongly influenced by extinction and colonization dynamics. We combined analyses of allozyme and microsatellite loci to test the hypothesis that two levels of population structure are present for spotted sunfish (Pisces: Centrarchidae: Lepomis punctatus) inhabiting the Everglades. We hypothesized that annual cycles of marsh dry-down increase local-scale genetic variation through a process of local extinction and colonization; we hypothesized that barriers to gene flow by levee/canal systems create a second, regional level of genetic variation. In 1996 and 1997, we sampled spotted sunfish from 11 Everglades sites that were distributed in three regions separated by levees. We documented patterns of genetic variation at 7 polymorphic allozyme loci and 5 polymorphic microsatellite loci. Most genetic variation was present among local populations, according to both types of genetic markers. Furthermore, samples from marsh sites were heterogeneous, while those from canals were not. These data supported our hypothesis that dry-down events and local population dynamics in the marsh have a significant effect on population genetic structure of spotted sunfish. We found no support for our hypothesis that water-management structures superimpose a second level of genetic structure on this species, possibly because canals obscure historical structure by facilitating gene flow or because the complete canal system has been in place for fewer than 20 generations of this species. Our data suggests a continent-island (canal-marsh) structure of populations with high gene flow among regions and recurrent mixing in marshes from canal and creek habitats.     

Activation of Rubisco controls CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> assimilation in light: a perspective on its discovery

CO₂ fixation during photosynthesis is regulated by the activity of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco). This conclusion became more apparent to me after CO₂-fixation experiments using isolated spinach chloroplasts and protoplasts, purified Rubisco enzyme, and intact leaves. Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) pools and activation of Rubisco were measured and compared to ¹⁴CO₂ fixation in light. The rates of ¹⁴CO ₂ assimilation best followed the changes in Rubisco activation under moderate to high light intensities. RuBP pool sizes regulated ¹⁴ ₂ assimilation only in very high CO₂ levels, low light and in darkness. Activation of Rubisco involves two separate processes: carbamylation of the protein and removal of inhibitors blocking carbamylation or blocking RuBP binding to carbamylated sites before reaction with CO₂ or O₂. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A study of the peripheral innervation and muscle fibre types of Ictalurus nebulosus (Lesueur) and Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque)

The innervation pattern and fibre types of the axial musculature of two closely related catfish species with differing lifestyles, Ictalurus nebulosus (Lesueur) and I. punctatus (Rafinesque) were investigated. Both fish displayed the multiple innervation pattern in the red muscle. However, the white muscle of I. nebulosus demonstrated terminal innervation while I. puncrurus displayed multiply innervated white muscle fibres. Fibre typing utilizing histochemical techniques for glyco-gen, lipid, succinic dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase revealed the typical teleostean distribution of red, intermediate and white muscle fibres in both fish. Staining was greatest in the red muscle fibres and least in the white muscle fibres. The white muscle fibres of I. punctatus stained slightly more for lipid than the white fibres of I. nebulosus which may be correlated with a greater aerobic capacity related to lifestyle and possibly innervation.
