毛竹林节肢动物群落的组成与结构

通过对福建三明和沙县23块毛竹林试验标准地节肢动物群落1a的系统调查,结果表明:竹冠层节肢动物隶属于3纲、21目、124科、332种,林下层节肢动物隶属于3纲、22目、130科、349种。竹冠层和林下层类群分别有92.77%和94.54%的物种为稀有种或偶见种,林下层类群种-丰盛度关系符合对数正态分布。二类群目或功能集团的科、物种的数量分布相近,个体数量分布差异大。竹冠层类群以蜱螨目和同翅目为主,林下层类群以蜘蛛目、膜翅目、同翅目和双翅目为主。前者的科、物种以及个体数的益害比分别为1∶1.18、1∶0.83和1∶4.62,后者为1∶0.91、1∶0.85和1∶0.55。竹冠层类群的物种多样性和均匀度均显著低于林下层类群,植食性集团多样性在林下层类群各功能集团中最高,在竹冠层类群中则最低。群落和功能集团各参数对二类群多样性的影响均以相应类群总体的均匀度最大,功能集团因子中均以相应类群蜘蛛类的均匀度最大。人为排除群落优势种后,二类群的多样性均显著增加,但林下层类群增加的幅度显著低于竹冠层类群。植食性和中性集团作为空间食物种类资源能显著促进群落容纳较多天敌物种,天敌对二集团的空间数量跟随效应强,二集团与天敌的多样性之间相互促进。     

不同管理措施对毛竹林节肢动物群落结构和组成的影响

通过对不同管理措施下毛竹林Phyllostachys heterocycla cv. pubescens节肢动物群落的系统调查,研究了垦复施肥、垦复、劈草、化学除草和撂荒5种典型管理措施对群落结构和组成的影响。结果表明,与撂荒林相比,其他各管理措施均降低了群落竹冠层和林下层类群的丰富度,在林下层主要表现为蜘蛛目、膜翅目、半翅目和鞘翅目物种的减少,在竹冠层主要表现为膜翅目和鞘翅目物种的减少,这些减少的物种主要是偶见种（相对丰盛度小于0.01）。垦复施肥、垦复和劈草增加了林下层中性功能群和减少了捕食性功能群的个体数量,垦复施肥、垦复、劈草和化学除草增加了竹冠层捕食性功能群和减少了植食性功能群的个体数量。总体上各种管理措施均降低了林下层和提高了竹冠层类群的多样性和均匀度,但化学除草对林下层的影响较小,垦复对竹冠层的影响较小。长期撂荒和垦复林毛竹叶部害螨的优势度较高,长期撂荒、劈草和化学除草林蠕须盾蚧Kuwanaspis vermiformis的优势度较高,长期垦复施肥、垦复和劈草林刚竹毒蛾Pantana phyllostachysae的优势度较高,说明长期的单一管理措施可能导致特定种类害虫的暴发。因此提出在毛竹林的管理中,应避免长期采用单一方式,注重不同年份多种管理措施的轮换。     

不同林分类型毛竹林节肢动物群落的多样性与稳定性

通过2001年9月到2002年7月对毛竹Phyllostachys heterocycla cv. pubescens与杉木Cunninghamia lanceolata、毛竹与马尾松Pinus massoniana、毛竹与阔叶树种混交林和毛竹纯林中节肢动物群落的定位与跟踪调查,分析和比较了上述4种不同类型林分中节肢动物群落的多样性与稳定性。结果表明：竹阔混交林中节肢动物群落的丰富度显著高于其他2种混交林和毛竹纯林,主要体现为林下层中同翅目、半翅目、鞘翅目和双翅目及竹冠层中蜱螨目、同翅目、半翅目和鞘翅目等植食性或捕食性物种明显较多;但各类林分中节肢动物群落之间的物种多样性、均匀度和优势集中性无显著差异。总体上混交林竹冠层和林下层中植食性和捕食性功能群的共有种较多,两个层次间的相似性均高于毛竹纯林。不同林分类型中节肢动物群落的稳定性具有显著差异,竹阔混交林和毛竹纯林竹冠层节肢动物类群的稳定性低,天敌对害虫的控制作用小,毛竹叶部植食性螨类和蠕须盾蚧Kuwanaspis vermiformis危害较重。因此认为在两种（类）害虫常发区,可考虑将林分改造为竹杉混交林或竹松混交林。     

复合茶园节肢动物类群特征值关系研究

为深入了解影响茶园节肢动物群落多样性的因子,本文对在茶园地面种植长节耳草Hedyotis uncinella Hook & Arn(茜草科,耳草属)的复合茶园茶树生境节肢动物类群多样性指数、物种丰富度、类群均匀度、物种优势度指数和类群优势集中性指数5个主要特征值之间的关系进行了因子分析与通径分析。结果显示:茶树生境节肢动物类群5个主要特征值可综合为三个主份量。第一主份量代表类群多样性指数和均匀性;第二主份量集中体现物种丰富度;第三主份量代表优势度指数,它们对方差的贡献率分别为50.279%、26.920%和22.466%。复合茶园节肢动物类群多样性与节肢动物类群丰富度和天敌类群丰富度呈极显著的正相关,而同类群优势集中性呈极显著的负相关。因此,要提高茶园节肢动物类群的多样性可通过营造复合茶园生境来增加节肢动物类群物种丰富度和天敌类群物种丰富度而减少物种优势集中性来实现。

转双抗虫基因741杨节肢动物群落营养结构及生态位变化

转双抗虫基因741杨（简称转基因741杨）节肢动物群落中,基位物种的植食性昆虫丰富度显著降低,但中性节肢动物丰富度却明显增加.高抗和中抗的节肢动物群落中位物种和顶位物种较之对照有所增多.转基因741杨节肢动物群落的害虫功能团,其优势状况,与对照相比有所改变：天敌优势度高于对照,中性节肢动物丰富度增加,并在天敌-害虫的营养链中起着重要的调控作用.鳞翅目害虫的空间生态位宽度最小,其它各功能类群的生态位宽度较大;捕食性和寄生性天敌与鳞翅目害虫的生态位重叠均较小,而与腐生和游逛种类的生态位重叠较大;各类害虫之间、捕食性天敌与寄生性天敌之间亦存在激烈竞争.转基因741杨对寄生性天敌和捕食性天敌在利用时间资源上有正作用.各种功能类群的时-空二维生态位宽度和生态位重叠均不如单维生态位宽度和生态位重叠值大,但抗性株系天敌类群对环境的适应性优于对照.     

林丹烟剂干扰下毛竹(Phyllostachys heterocycla cv.pubescens)林节肢动物群落的结构与组成

对林丹烟剂干扰下毛竹（Phyllostachys heterocycla cv.pubescens）林节肢动物群落结构与组成的系统定位观察与分析表明：长期使用林丹烟剂明显增加了群落主要物种（Pi≥0.05）的植食性种类及其优势度,显著降低群落总体的物种多样性,减少蜘蛛目、膜翅目、鞘翅目和双翅目或捕食性、寄生性和中性功能集团的物种数,削弱林冠层寄生性和捕食性物种在种类和数量上对植食性物种的制约潜能,引起叶部植食性害虫的暴发。因此,在毛竹害虫控制中应避免长期大量使用林丹烟剂。     

Cascade effects of crop species richness on the diversity of pest insects and their natural enemies

Understanding how plant species richness influences the diversity of herbivorous and predatory/parasitic arthropods is central to community ecology.We explore the effects of crop species richness on the diversity of pest insects and their natural enemies.Using data from a four-year experiment with five levels of crop species richness,we found that crop species richness significantly affected the pest species richness,but there were no significant effects on richness of the pests’natural enemies.In contrast,the species richness of pest insects significantly affected their natural enemies.These findings suggest a cascade effect where trophic interactions are strong between adjacent trophic levels,while the interactions between connected but nonadjacent trophic levels are weakened by the intermediate trophic level.High crop species richness resulted in a more stable arthropod community compared with communities in monoculture crops.Our results highlight the complicated cross-trophic interactions and the crucial role of crop diversity in the food webs of agro-ecosystems.     

The effects of land-use change on arthropod richness and abundance on Santa Maria Island (Azores): unmanaged plantations favour endemic beetles

We study how endemic, native and introduced arthropod species richness, abundance, diversity and community composition vary between four different habitat types (native forest, exotic forest of Cryptomeria japonica, semi-natural pasture and intensive pasture) and how arthropod richness and abundance change with increasing distance from the native forest in adjacent habitat types in Santa Maria Island, the Azores. Arthropods were sampled in four 150 m long transects in each habitat type. Arthropods were identified to species level and classified as Azorean endemic, single-island endemic (SIE), native, or introduced. The native forest had the highest values for species richness of Azorean endemics, SIEs and natives; and also had highest values of Azorean endemic diversity (Fisher’s alpha). In contrast, the intensive pasture had the lowest values for endemic and native species richness and diversity, but the highest values of total arthropod abundance and introduced species richness and diversity. Arthropod community composition was significantly different between the four habitat types. In the semi-natural pasture, the number of SIE species decreased with increasing distance from the native forest, and in the exotic forest the abundance of both Azorean endemics and SIEs decreased with increasing distance from the native forest. There is a gradient of decreasing arthropod richness and abundance from the native forest to the intensive pasture. Although this study demonstrates the important role of the native forest in arthropod conservation in the Azores, it also shows that unmanaged exotic forests have provided alternative habitat suitable for some native species of forest specialist arthropods, particularly saproxylic beetles.     

Tree diversity drives diversity of arthropod herbivores,but successional stage mediates detritivores

The high tree diversity of subtropical forests is linked to the biodiversity of other trophic levels. Disentangling the effects of tree species richness and composition, forest age, and stand structure on higher trophic levels in a forest landscape is important for understanding the factors that promote biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Using a plot network spanning gradients of tree diversity and secondary succession in subtropical forest, we tested the effects of tree community characteristics (species richness and composition) and forest succession (stand age) on arthropod community characteristics (morphotype diversity, abundance and composition) of four arthropod functional groups. We posit that these gradients differentially affect the arthropod functional groups, which mediates the diversity, composition, and abundance of arthropods in subtropical forests. We found that herbivore richness was positively related to tree species richness. Furthermore, the composition of herbivore communities was associated with tree species composition. In contrast, detritivore richness and composition was associated with stand age instead of tree diversity. Predator and pollinator richness and abundance were not strongly related to either gradient, although positive trends with tree species richness were found for predators. The weaker effect of tree diversity on predators suggests a cascading diversity effect from trees to herbivores to predators. Our results suggest that arthropod diversity in a subtropical forest reflects the net outcome of complex interactions among variables associated with tree diversity and stand age. Despite this complexity, there are clear linkages between the overall richness and composition of tree and arthropod communities, in particular herbivores, demonstrating that these trophic levels directly impact each other.     

Plant diversity accurately predicts insect diversity in two tropical landscapes

Plant diversity surely determines arthropod diversity, but only moderate correlations between arthropod and plant species richness had been observed until Basset et al. (Science, 338, 2012 and 1481) finally undertook an unprecedentedly comprehensive sampling of a tropical forest and demonstrated that plant species richness could indeed accurately predict arthropod species richness. We now require a high‐throughput pipeline to operationalize this result so that we can (i) test competing explanations for tropical arthropod megadiversity, (ii) improve estimates of global eukaryotic species diversity, and (iii) use plant and arthropod communities as efficient proxies for each other, thus improving the efficiency of conservation planning and of detecting forest degradation and recovery. We therefore applied metabarcoding to Malaise‐trap samples across two tropical landscapes in China. We demonstrate that plant species richness can accurately predict arthropod (mostly insect) species richness and that plant and insect community compositions are highly correlated, even in landscapes that are large, heterogeneous and anthropogenically modified. Finally, we review how metabarcoding makes feasible highly replicated tests of the major competing explanations for tropical megadiversity.
