三种杀虫剂亚致死浓度对川硬皮肿腿蜂繁殖和搜寻行为的影响

在实验室条件下通过药膜法研究了3种杀虫剂对川硬皮肿腿蜂Sclerodermus sichuanensis Xiao成蜂的毒力和对繁殖的亚致死效应,并采用EthoVision3.1行为仪分析了杀虫剂对其搜寻行为的影响.结果表明,川硬皮肿腿蜂对啶虫脒最敏感,致死中浓度LC50和亚致死浓度LC10分别为7.71和4.46 mg/L,其次为吡虫啉(11.22和6.68 mg/L)和功夫菊酯(27.72和9.36 mg/L).经啶虫脒、吡虫啉和功夫菊酯亚致死浓度(LC10)处理的肿腿蜂,亲代、F1和F2代的寄生成功率均受到抑制;经功夫菊酯处理的肿腿蜂,亲代单蜂产卵量显著增加(P＜0.05);经啶虫脒和吡虫啉肿腿蜂,亲代的出蜂率没有显著影响(P＞0.05),但对F1代影响显著(P＜0.05).经啶虫脒和吡虫啉亚致死浓度(LC10)处理的肿腿蜂搜寻行为变弱.结果表明,功夫菊酯对川硬皮肿腿蜂较安全;啶虫脒和吡虫啉对川硬皮肿腿蜂的繁殖和搜寻行为影响较大.研究结果对评估3种药剂对川硬皮肿腿蜂的安全性,为指导合理用药,协调化学防治和生物防治提供科学依据.     

铜污染对昆虫生长发育及繁殖影响的研究进展

铜(Cu)是生物体生长发育所必需的微量营养元素,参与或构成许多含铜酶及含铜生物活性蛋白质,但是过度摄入Cu会对生物体产生危害。Cu中毒由许多因素而定,如物种、遗传、年龄和食物等。在生态系统中昆虫种类多,数量大,分布广,往往会取食、转移和代谢环境中的Cu,从而对自身生长发育及繁殖造成影响。通常表现为发育历期延长,体重下降,体长变短,化蛹率、羽化率、产卵率、孵化率、存活率降低,种群数量减少等。本文以近几年Cu2+胁迫对昆虫生长发育及繁殖影响的研究进行综述。     

植物干旱胁迫对植食性昆虫及其天敌的影响

全球正经历以变暖为主要特征的气候变化,由此带来的干旱将对农业生态系统造成重要影响。本文综述了干旱胁迫下寄主植物对植食性昆虫及其天敌影响的国内外最新研究进展。在干旱胁迫下,寄主植物物理性状、营养状况和次生代谢物质等均发生变化,这些变化导致植食性昆虫的生存环境和营养物质的获取等方面发生改变,从而影响了害虫生长发育和种群动态。干旱胁迫还导致寄主物候变化与昆虫发生不同步,使害虫缺乏食物。另外干旱也会引起植食性害虫天敌的种群发生变化,从而对植食性昆虫种群数量产生间接的影响。     

蚂蚁与排泄蜜露的同翅目昆虫的相互作用及其生态学效应

同翅目昆虫多为植食性害虫,但有些种类也是重要的经济昆虫。以蜜露为纽带,蚂蚁与排泄蜜露的同翅目昆虫在漫长的进化过程中逐渐形成了复杂而密切的关系。研究蚂蚁-同翅目昆虫之间的相互作用,有选择的防治或保护某些同翅目昆虫,并控制其在寄主植物上的数量,可提高经济效益。本文介绍蚂蚁与排泄蜜露的同翅目昆虫的相互作用,以及相互作用对节肢动物群落和寄主植物产生的生态学效益,提出研究过程中的不足,并探讨蚂蚁-同翅目昆虫之间的相互作用在生物防治、生物多样性及生态系统功能方面的重要意义,以促进种间关系研究的进一步发展。     

三种杀虫剂对几种昆虫天敌的毒力测定

为了明确几种常用杀虫剂对捕食性天敌（异色瓢虫Harmonia axyridis Pallas、东亚小花蝽Orius sauteri Poppius、智利小植绥螨Phytoseiulus persimilis）和寄生性天敌（松毛虫赤眼蜂Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura、丽蚜小蜂Encarsia formosa Gahan、中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator Haliday）的影响,在室内采用标准生物测定方法测定了阿维菌素、吡虫啉和噻嗪酮对以上昆虫天敌的毒力。结果表明：三种杀虫剂对六种供试天敌的毒力大小表现出相似趋势,即阿维菌素 > 吡虫啉 > 噻嗪酮;三种药剂对寄生性天敌的毒力均显著高于捕食性天敌。因此在害虫综合治理中应尽量选用对天敌昆虫相对安全的昆虫生长调节剂类的噻嗪酮,以起到保护天敌的作用。

白斑切叶蜂Megachile strupigera是我国南方野生植物及部分农林作物的有效传粉昆虫之一。本文利用人工巢管完成白斑切叶蜂的野外收集和观察,结合室内人工饲养和相关数据的采集,系统研究了该蜂除成虫外各虫态的形态特征、生活史、筑巢习性和访花行为以及寄生性天敌等相关生物学特性。结果表明:白斑切叶蜂在江西赣州地区1年2代,以滞育状态下的老熟幼虫在虫室中越冬,滞育期约270 d。成虫翌年5月下旬开始出巢活动,主要包括羽化、交配、产卵、筑巢、访花等行为。室内观察和测量发现该蜂的卵近似微弯的长圆柱形,长3.15±0.14 mm。卵期2-3 d;幼虫期6-8 d;蛹期10-12 d。该蜂雄性个体多于雌性个体且同年2代雌雄比有一定的差异。该蜂成虫主要到访黄荆Vites negundo和藤金合欢Acacia sinuate等多种植物。该蜂偏好选择内径在0.614-0.948 cm,长度在8.1-20.1 cm的巢管筑巢。该蜂幼虫期寄生性天敌主要有Melittobia australica和波赤腹蜂Euaspis polynesia。本研究通过对白斑切叶蜂基础生物学进行研究,旨在为该蜂人工管理、驯化、工厂化繁殖等技术提供基础,同时也为制定该蜂保护策略和适宜栖息地环境的构建提供重要理论依据。     

The Sweet Tooth of Adult Parasitoid Cotesia rubecula: Ignoring Hosts for Nectar?

Investing time and energy into survival and reproduction often presents a trade-off to many species of animals. In parasitic wasps, both hosts and sugar sources contribute to the forager's fitness but are often found in different locations. The decision to search for hosts or for food can have a strong impact on fitness when the forager's lifetime is short and resources are not abundant. We investigated the tendency of flowers and hosts to attract 1-day-old female Cotesia rubecula Marshall (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) with different feeding histories in a wind tunnel. Only well-fed wasps exhibited a preference for hosts. In comparison, unfed wasps visited hosts and flowers in equal proportions. Feeding experience had a strong impact on the searching behavior and the number of landings on both resources. Host and food stimuli seem to be equally attractive to hungry parasitic wasps such as C. rubecula. We expect that under field conditions the time available for active food searching in female C. rubecula is short and influenced by the presence of hosts.     

Assessment of Potential Sublethal Effects of Various Insecticides on Key Biological Traits of The Tobacco Whitefly,Bemisia tabaci

The tobacco whitefly Bemisia tabaci is one of the most devastating pests worldwide. Current management of B. tabaci relies upon the frequent applications of insecticides. In addition to direct mortality by typical acute toxicity (lethal effect), insecticides may also impair various key biological traits of the exposed insects through physiological and behavioral sublethal effects. Identifying and characterizing such effects could be crucial for understanding the global effects of insecticides on the pest and therefore for optimizing its management in the crops. We assessed the effects of sublethal and low-lethal concentrations of four widely used insecticides on the fecundity, honeydew excretion and feeding behavior of B. tabaci adults. The probing activity of the whiteflies feeding on treated cotton seedlings was recorded by an Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG). The results showed that imidacloprid and bifenthrin caused a reduction in phloem feeding even at sublethal concentrations. In addition, the honeydew excretions and fecundity levels of adults feeding on leaf discs treated with these concentrations were significantly lower than the untreated ones. While, sublethal concentrations of chlorpyrifos and carbosulfan did not affect feeding behavior, honeydew excretion and fecundity of the whitefly. We demonstrated an antifeedant effect of the imidacloprid and bifenthrin on B. tabaci, whereas behavioral changes in adults feeding on leaves treated with chlorpyrifos and carbosulfan were more likely caused by the direct effects of the insecticides on the insects'' nervous system itself. Our results show that aside from the lethal effect, the sublethal concentration of imidacloprid and bifenthrin impairs the phloem feeding, i.e. the most important feeding trait in a plant protection perspective. Indeed, this antifeedant property would give these insecticides potential to control insect pests indirectly. Therefore, the behavioral effects of sublethal concentrations of imidacloprid and bifenthrin may play an important role in the control of whitefly pests by increasing the toxicity persistence in treated crops.     

Honeydew: an arrestant stimulus for coccinellids

Abstract. 1. The presence and quantity of honeydew, produced by the, cereal aphid, Sitobion aveme (Fab.), on the time Coccinella seprempunctara L. larvae spent searching ears of wheat and on the number of aphids eaten, was investigated.
2. In the presence of honeydew larvae spent longer searching the ears, resulting in a greater exploitation of prey than in the absence of honeydew.
3. Larvae did not respond to differences in the amount of honeydew, so that the arrestment response would not result in aggregation in areas of high prey density.     

我国烟粉虱主要捕食和寄生性天敌控制能力研究进展

烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci Gennadius是一种广泛分布于世界各地的多食性害虫,对我国多个省市区的农作物和观赏植物造成了严重的危害。化学杀虫剂的大量使用在杀伤天敌的同时使烟粉虱产生了不同程度的抗性,防治越来越困难;相较于化学防治,在不同地区筛选有效的天敌对烟粉虱进行生物防治是对烟粉虱进行有效控制的重要方法。我国报道的捕食性天敌共计26科109种,寄生性天敌共计2科59种。烟粉虱防治过程中由于单一的防治效果不理想,联合多个天敌资源的利用是增加对烟粉虱的生物防治效果的重要手段。本文通过对我国烟粉虱捕食性和寄生性天敌种类系统全面的整理,同时对烟粉虱优势种天敌中的单种或者多种组合利用后对烟粉虱的的控害潜能进行综述,以期为烟粉虱天敌昆虫种类的筛选和实现高效的生物防治提供科学依据。     

The mid‐season crash in aphid populations: why and how does it occur?

Abstract. 1. Aphid populations on agricultural crops in temperature regions collapse over a few days from peak numbers to local extinction soon after mid‐summer (e.g. mid‐July in the U.K.). The populations recover 6–8 weeks later. There is anecdotal or incidental evidence of an equivalent mid‐season population crash of aphids on grasses and forbs in natural vegetation. 2. The ecological factors causing the mid‐season population crash of aphids include a decline in plant nutritional quality and increased natural enemy pressure as the season progresses. Extreme weather events, e.g. severe rainstorms, can precipitate the crash but weather conditions are not a consistent contributory factor. 3. The population processes underlying the crash comprise enhanced emigration, especially by alate (winged) aphids, depressed performance resulting in reduced birth rates, and elevated mortality caused by natural enemies. 4. Mathematical models, previously applied to aphid populations on agricultural crops, have great potential for studies of aphid dynamics in natural vegetation. In particular, they can help identify the contribution of various ecological factors to the timing of the population crash and offer explanations for how slow changes in population processes can result in a rapid collapse of aphid populations.     

蜜源食物对节肢动物天敌寿命、繁殖力和控害能力的影响

大多数节肢动物天敌除了寄生或捕食寄主或猎物外,也会取食蜜源食物,特别是包括植物花蜜、花外蜜和昆虫蜜露等富含糖分的食物。这些蜜源食物对于提高寄生性和捕食性天敌的飞行和寄主搜索能力、延长寿命、提高繁殖力和增强控害能力都能发挥重要作用。本文重点介绍了农田生态系统中3类常见的非猎物性蜜源食物即植物花蜜、花外蜜和昆虫蜜露。其中,花蜜和花外蜜能够显著延长天敌寿命,提高天敌繁殖力和控害能力;蜜露的作用虽次于花蜜和花外蜜,但仍能促进某些天敌的生态功能。还进一步综述了显花植物和蜜源食物投放在生物防治中的应用,并从筛选适宜的蜜源植物、蜜源食物中糖成分作用分析和天敌对蜜源食物的搜索和定位等方向开展对蜜源食物的研究利用进行了展望。     

Do weaver ants affect arthropod diversity and the natural‐enemy‐to‐pest ratio in horticultural systems?

High biodiversity is an important component of sustainable agricultural systems, and previous studies have found that increases in the diversity of the natural enemies of pests are associated with decreases in pest populations. Weaver ants are well known for their highly territorial and aggressive behaviour and for their control efficiency of many insect pests in tropical crop trees. Because of this, the ants have been used as a key component in integrated pest management (IPM) programmes for tropical crop trees. In implementing the IPM programmes, we received a number of enquiries related to whether weaver ants have negative effects on arthropod diversity and other natural enemies in orchard systems due to their aggressive behaviour. To answer these questions, we regularly sampled canopy arthropods in cashew and mango orchards in the Northern Territory of Australia in 1996, 2002 and 2003. We sampled, using a vacuum sampler, orchards with and without weaver ants. Cashew and mango plots with abundant weaver ants had similar or higher canopy arthropod and natural enemy diversity and similar ratios of natural enemies to insect pests, compared with plot where the weaver ant was absent. The study also showed that the application of insecticides reduced arthropod diversity and the ratio of natural enemies to insect pests in a mango orchard. However, insecticide spray did not affect natural enemy diversity and abundance, which may be related to a high immigration rate of natural enemies in small plots surrounded by areas that were not sprayed.
