宁夏地区麦二叉蚜远距离迁飞的研究

通过1971-1987年的调查试验,明确了以下事实：宁夏春麦田麦二叉蚜Schizaphis graminum(Rondani)迁入高峰到来时,当地越冬蚜的春季羽化已基本结束;宁夏春麦黄矮病情与当地麦二叉蚜越冬基数相关不密切,却与东南方冬麦区的越冬基数密切相关;宁夏当地越冬麦蚜春季不带黄矮病毒,而田间却出现了带毒有翅成蚜。首次提出,在有本地蚜源的情况下,存在外来蚜源,且外来蚜源可以成为春季田间麦二叉蚜群的主体。本文分析讨论了迁入蚜的生态意义、蚜源基地、东南风作用和须进一步研究的问题。     

吸虫塔对麦长管蚜迁飞监测的影响因素分析

【目的】为了明确吸虫塔对麦长管蚜Sitobion avenae(Fabricius)迁飞活动监测效果的影响因素。【方法】采用回归分析和通径分析等方法,分析田间麦长管蚜数量与吸虫塔吸捕量的相关性,分析不同气象因素对吸虫塔中麦蚜吸捕数量的影响程度。【结果】结果显示,吸虫塔的有翅蚜吸捕量与田间麦长管蚜种群密度及有翅蚜数量存在显著的相关性,即田间麦长管蚜有翅成蚜数量对吸虫塔的吸捕量具有直接影响,而吸虫塔中麦长管蚜的吸捕量也直接反映田间有翅成蚜及种群动态的实际情况。另外,在廊坊地区,吸虫塔初期监测到的有翅麦长管蚜要比小麦田间发生的早几天。通过对吸虫塔中麦长管蚜有翅成蚜吸捕量与气象因素灰色关联度分析的结果表明,降雨天气对麦长管蚜的迁飞和种群动态具有突出的影响作用,可以造成麦长管蚜有翅成蚜迁入的"突增"和种群的"骤降";同时温度和湿度是两个影响麦长管蚜迁飞的重要因素;在麦长管蚜的迁入初期,温度对其迁飞影响最大;在大风天气,风速也会对麦长管蚜的迁入或飞翔活动产生较大影响。【结论】田间麦长管蚜发生数量与吸虫塔的吸捕量存在正相关;降雨、温度和风速是影响麦长管蚜迁飞活动的主要气象因素。

大尺度生态景观对麦长管蚜迁入的影响

【目的】解析不同生态景观对于麦长管蚜Sitobion avenae(Fabricius)迁飞和降落的影响,为预测预报提供科学指导。【方法】在麦长管蚜迁入期,选取了多个山脉、河流、湖泊等典型的大生态景观,抽样调查其周围麦田中麦长管蚜有翅成蚜的百株蚜量。【结果】调查显示,有翅成蚜量山的南侧比北侧多,而湖泊和河流附近的有翅成蚜量一般少于远处。山脉对麦长管蚜有翅成蚜迁入有明显阻挡作用,高海拔地区有利于有翅成蚜的迁入,孤山也对有翅成蚜迁入降落存在影响,虽然河流和湖泊对有翅成蚜的迁飞不会产生生态阻隔,但河流和湖泊景观附近不利于有翅成蚜的降落。【结论】大尺度生态景观对麦长管蚜的迁入具有明显影响,不同的生态景观类型影响程度存在差异。     

麦长管蚜的低温适应性及陕西杨凌小麦田春季虫源分析

【目的】本研究旨在探明低温条件下麦长管蚜Sitobion avenae的存活率和快速冷驯化反应,以期为该虫耐寒性的研究和准确预测预报提供依据。【方法】测定麦长管蚜实验室种群各发育阶段的过冷却点和结冰点;测定1龄若蚜和未产仔成蚜分别在-7.0～-11.0℃极端低温下暴露3 h和在0℃冷驯化1～5 h后暴露于致死温度3 h,再转移至15℃72 h后的存活率;调查自然条件下陕西杨凌小麦整个生育期麦长管蚜的种群动态。【结果】麦长管蚜1龄和2龄若蚜的过冷却点波动范围较小,分别为-27.4～-19.2℃和-27.3～-18.3℃;3龄若蚜、4龄若蚜和成蚜的过冷却点波动范围较大,分别为-27.4～-10.7℃,-26.7～-12.5℃和-26.7～-11.2℃。麦长管蚜的过冷却点和结冰点随龄期增加均显著升高,其中成蚜的过冷却点显著高于1龄和2龄若蚜。3龄若蚜、4龄若蚜和成蚜的过冷却点在不同翅型之间不存在显著性差异。低温存活率分析表明,麦长管蚜1龄若蚜和无翅成蚜的致死温度(80%死亡率)分别在-10.5℃和-8.1℃左右。0℃快速冷驯化显著提高了麦长管蚜1龄若蚜和无翅成蚜在极端低温下的存活率,其中冷驯化2 h时的存活率最高。2018-2019年小麦生育期田间调查结果表明,麦长管蚜能以孤雌生殖若蚜和成蚜在陕西杨凌越冬。【结论】麦长管蚜具有较强的低温适应能力,在陕西杨凌能以孤雌生殖蚜成功越冬。因此,其本地越冬存活个体是陕西杨凌小麦田的早春虫源之一。     

麦蚜虫霉流行病的初始侵染源及传播途径观察

在河南省原阳县麦区于2002年4~5月期间自空中诱捕到迁飞性有翅麦蚜共1092头, 其中麦长管蚜(Sitobion avenae)415头, 禾谷缢管蚜(Rhopalosiphum padi)642头, 麦无网长管蚜(Metopolophium dirhodum)22头, 麦二叉蚜(Schizaphis graminum)13头. 每日诱获的有翅蚜带回室内在试管麦苗上单头饲养7 d, 共发病死亡341头(麦长管蚜224头, 禾谷缢管蚜106头, 麦二叉蚜3头, 麦无网长管蚜8头), 全部在饲养的前5天死亡, 其中前3天的死亡占78.9%, 有翅蚜的总带菌率为31.2%. 病死有翅蚜经逐头镜检确认病因, 全系虫霉感染所致, 其中新蚜虫疠霉(Pandora neoaphidis)占84.6%, 普朗肯虫霉(Entomophthora planchoniana)占5.5%, 暗孢耳霉(Conidiobolus obscurus)占9.9%, 另有4例为新蚜虫疠霉和暗孢耳霉的复合感染. 基于迁飞性有翅麦蚜高比例带菌和田间麦蚜虫霉流行病的调查资料, 可以认为麦蚜的虫霉流行病可能主要借有翅蚜的迁飞定殖而异地传播, 并讨论了这种传播方式对蚜虫流行病研究与利用的启示.     

七星瓢虫对两种麦蚜控制作用的模拟研究

应用二次回归旋转组合设计方法研究了七星瓢虫成虫、幼虫与两种麦蚜共存系统中瓢虫对麦长管蚜和禾谷缢管蚜的捕食量模型.结果表明七星瓢虫对两种麦蚜的捕食量随着瓢虫密度的增加而减少,随着该种麦蚜密度的增加而增加,且七星瓢虫无选择性.七星瓢虫不同个体间的干扰作用对其捕食麦长管蚜数量有显著影响,两种麦蚜数交互作用对七星瓢虫捕食禾谷缢管蚜数量影响显著.该模型可用来预测田间蚜虫的变化,指导麦田蚜虫防治.     

麦长管蚜的抗药性研究

麦蚜在我国分布广、为害重,又传播病毒病,是小麦的重要害虫。近年麦蚜的发生为害有增长的趋势,有些地方反映农药防效下降、用药次数增加。本文介绍1983—1987年5年中采用6个省市的8个地区麦蚜种群对6种农药进行了点滴法毒力测定。探明了张掖和高台麦长管蚜[sitobion avenae (Fab.)]对氧化乐果产生10—15倍抗药性。用英国Rothamsted试验站的比色板试验法进行生化测定,结果同生物测定一致。作者认为该法是一种探测蚜虫抗药性简便可行的定性方法。用北京室内饲养的麦长管蚜以16种新老农药品种用点滴法进行了敏感水平测定,建立了麦长管蚜对16种供试农药的毒力基线。这对探测麦蚜抗药性、监测其抗药性动态变化打下一定基础。通过室内毒力测定、田间药效试验和20多万亩的大面积示范推广,作者提出杀螟松是防治麦蚜较理想的候选农药品种,以替换当前使用的药效已下降的乐果和氧化乐果、替换当前使用的毒性很高的杀虫剂甲胺磷。     

A transgenerational interval timer inhibits unseasonal sexual morph production in damson-hop aphid, Phorodon humuli

Abstract.  The induction of sexual and parthenogenetic morphs of the damson-hop aphid, Phorodon humuli , on hops is controlled by daylength. The ability of P. humuli , to produce winged pre-sexual females (gynoparae) in the short-day conditions of spring is inhibited by an interval timer present in generations immediately after hatching of the overwintering egg. The inhibition expires after three generations when nymphs are born and reared in short days (LD 12 : 12 h), irrespective of whether their parents are reared in short or long days (LD 18 : 6 h). No gynoparae are produced by aphids maintained for 13 generations in long days. Two wingless aphids from 35 survive transfer from Prunus spinosa to hops. No winged females are produced during nine generations among their progeny maintained in long days on hops, but gynoparae, followed by males, are produced one generation after these aphids are transferred to short days.     

Ant–aphid mutualism: the influence of ants on the aphid summer cycle

There are few longtime studies on the effects on aphids of being tended by ants. The aim of this study is to investigate how the presence of ants influences settling decisions by colonizing aphids and the post‐settlement growth and survival of aphid colonies. We conducted a field experiment using the facultative myrmecophile Aphis fabae and the ant Lasius niger. The experiment relied on natural aphid colonization of potted plants of scentless mayweed Tripleurospermum perforatum placed outdoors. Ants occurred naturally at the field site and had access to half of the pots and were prevented from accessing the remainder. The presence of winged, dispersing aphids, the growth and survival of establishing aphid colonies, and the presence of parasitoids were measured in relation to presence or absence of ants, over a period of five weeks. The presence of ants did not significantly influence the pattern of initial host plant colonization or the initial colony growth, but ant‐tended aphids were subject to higher parasitism by hymenopteran parasitoids. The net result over the experimental period was that the presence of ants decreased aphid colony productivity, measured as the number of winged summer migrants produced from the colonized host plants. This implies that aphids do not always benefit from the presence of ants, but under some conditions rather pay a cost in the form of reduced dispersal.     

RAPD‐PCR DETECTION OF DNA POLYMORPHISM OF COTTON APHID*

Abstract The RAPDPCR technique was used to determine the DNA polymorphism of the aphid Aphis gossypii(Glover) collected from different host plants and in different seasons. Three primers were selected from 20 primers and used for cluster analysis based on the data of Nei's genetic distance (D). The results showed that the aphids on Chinese prickly ash differentiated obviously from the aphids on the other four host plants at DNA level. The seasonal population of cotton aphid might be clustered into three groups, i.e. the spring and autumn yellow colored aphids, the spring and autumn green colored aphids and the yellow dwarf form aphid in summer. However, the genetic relationship of dwarf form was more closely to the spring and autumn green colored aphid.     

The cabbage aphid: a walking mustard oil bomb

The cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae, has developed a chemical defence system that exploits and mimics that of its host plants, involving sequestration of the major plant secondary metabolites (glucosinolates). Like its host plants, the aphid produces a myrosinase (beta-thioglucoside glucohydrolase) to catalyse the hydrolysis of glucosinolates, yielding biologically active products. Here, we demonstrate that aphid myrosinase expression in head/thoracic muscle starts during embryonic development and protein levels continue to accumulate after the nymphs are born. However, aphids are entirely dependent on the host plant for the glucosinolate substrate, which they store in the haemolymph. Uptake of a glucosinolate (sinigrin) was investigated when aphids fed on plants or an in vitro system and followed a different developmental pattern in winged and wingless aphid morphs. In nymphs of the wingless aphid morph, glucosinolate level continued to increase throughout the development to the adult stage, but the quantity in nymphs of the winged form peaked before eclosion (at day 7) and subsequently declined. Winged aphids excreted significantly higher amounts of glucosinolate in the honeydew when compared with wingless aphids, suggesting regulated transport across the gut. The higher level of sinigrin in wingless aphids had a significant negative impact on survival of a ladybird predator. Larvae of Adalia bipunctata were unable to survive when fed adult wingless aphids from a 1% sinigrin diet, but survived successfully when fed aphids from a glucosinolate-free diet (wingless or winged), or winged aphids from 1% sinigrin. The apparent lack of an effective chemical defence system in adult winged aphids possibly reflects their energetic investment in flight as an alternative predator avoidance mechanism.     

Do aphids actively search for ant partners?

The aphid–ant mutualistic relationships are not necessarily obligate for neither partners but evidence is that such interactions provide them strong advantages in terms of global fitness. While it is largely assumed that ants actively search for their mutualistic partners namely using volatile cues; whether winged aphids (i.e., aphids’ most mobile form) are able to select ant‐frequented areas had not been investigated so far. Ant‐frequented sites would indeed offer several advantages for these aphids including a lower predation pressure through ant presence and enhanced chances of establishing mutuaslistic interactions with neighbor ant colonies. In the field, aphid colonies are often observed in higher densities around ant nests, which is probably linked to a better survival ensured by ants’ services. Nevertheless, this could also result from a preferential establishment of winged aphids in ant‐frequented areas. We tested this last hypothesis through different ethological assays and show that the facultative myrmecophilous black bean aphid, Aphis fabae L., does not orientate its search for a host plant preferentially toward ant‐frequented plants. However, our results suggest that ants reduce the number of winged aphids leaving the newly colonized plant. Thus, ants involved in facultative myrmecophilous interactions with aphids appear to contribute to structure aphid populations in the field by ensuring a better establishment and survival of newly established colonies rather than by inducing a deliberate plant selection by aphid partners based on the proximity of ant colonies.     

Predator-induced morphological shift in the pea aphid

Aphids exhibit a polymorphism whereby individual aphids are either winged or unwinged. The winged dispersal morph is mainly responsible for the colonization of new plants and, in many species, is produced in response to adverse environmental conditions. Aphids are attacked by a wide range of specialized predators and predation has been shown to strongly influence the growth and persistence of aphid colonies. In two experiments, we reared two clones of pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) in the presence and absence of predatory ladybirds (Coccinella septempunctata or Adalia bipunctata). In both experiments, the presence of a predator enhanced the proportion of winged morphs among the offspring produced by the aphids. The aphid clones differed in their reaction to the presence of a ladybird, suggesting the presence of genetic variation for this trait. A treatment that simulated disturbance caused by predators did not enhance winged offspring production. The experiments indicate that aphids respond to the presence of a predator by producing the dispersal morph which can escape by flight to colonize other plants. In contrast to previous examples of predator-induced defence this shift in prey morphology does not lead to better protection against predator attack, but enables aphids to leave plants when mortality risks are high.     

The cost of being able to fly in the milkweed-oleander aphid,Aphis nerii (Homoptera: Aphididae)

Summary In the wing dimorphic milkweed-oleander aphid,Aphis nerii, winged aphids begin reproducing about 1.5 days after wingless aphids. The longer maturation period is primarily due to slower development since even adult eclosion by winged aphids takes place after wingless aphids begin reproducing. The delay is not due to a post-eclosion, pre-reproductive flight since, beginning with the fourth instar, larval winged aphids were reared at a density of one per plant and the vast majority were not stimulated to fly under such low-density conditions. Thus, the ability to fly incurs a fitness cost in terms of delayed reproduction, irrespective of whether flight actually occurs. We did not observe a difference between morphs for lifetime fecundity, even though wingless aphids have larger abdomens than winged aphids and for both morphs there is a significant correlation between abdomen width and fecundity. Offspring produced by wingless aphids over the first four days of reproduction are larger than those produced by winged aphids, and the size difference at birth is maintained into adulthood. However, there are no differences in life history traits between these offspring, including maturation period and lifetime fecundity. Thus, reduced body size does not increase the cost of being able to fly, at least under the conditions of these experiments. The cost of being able to fly in this species should favor reduced production of winged individuals in populations that exploit more permanent host plants.     

Effect of parasitism on flight behavior of the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines

Many aphid species possess wingless (apterous) and winged (alate) stages, both of which can harbor parasitoids at various developmental stages. Alates can either be parasitized directly or can bear parasitoids eggs or larvae resulting from prior parasitism of alatoid nymphs. Winged aphids bearing parasitoid eggs or young larvae eventually still engage in long-distance flights, thereby facilitating parasitoid dispersal. This may have a number of important implications for biological control of aphids by parasitoids. In this study, we determined the effect of parasitism by Aphelinus varipes (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) on wing development and flight of the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines (Hemiptera: Aphididae). We also quantified the influence of aphid flight distance on subsequent A. varipes development. Parasitism by A. varipes was allowed at different A. glycines developmental stages (i.e., alatoid 3rd and 4th-instar nymphs, alates) and subsequent aphid flight was measured using a computer-monitored flight mill. Only 35% of aphids parasitized as L3 alatoid nymphs produced normal winged adults compared to 100% of L4 alatoids. Flight performance of aphids parasitized as 4th-instar alatoid nymphs 24 or 48 h prior to testing was similar to that of un-parasitized alates of identical age, but declined sharply for alates that had been parasitized as 4th-instar alatoid nymphs 72 and 96 h prior to testing. Flight performance of aphids parasitized as alate adults for 24 h was not significantly different from un-parasitized alates of comparable ages. Flight distance did not affect parasitoid larval or pupal development times, or the percent mummification of parasitized aphids. Our results have implications for natural biological control of A. glycines in Asia and classical biological control of the soybean aphid in North America.
