黑胸散白蚁和台湾乳白蚁对镇江地区几种常见木材品种的取食偏好性研究

【目的】本文研究了黑胸散白蚁Reticulitermes chinensis和台湾乳白蚁Coptotermes formosanus对镇江几种常见木材树种的取食偏好性,分析了白蚁种类和木材品种对白蚁取食偏好性和死亡率的影响,以期为本地区白蚁治理及预防提供科学依据。【方法】采取白蚁非选择性取食试验,研究两种白蚁分别取食香樟Cinnamonum campora、银杏Ginkgo biloba、水杉Metasequoia glyptostrodoides、垂柳Salix babylonica、广玉兰Magnolia grandiflora、枇杷树Eriobotrya japonica、马尾松Pinus massoniana 7种树种食料的取食偏好和死亡率,取食偏好采用白蚁取食率,即每克白蚁每天取食量(mg)评价。试验数据采用多因素方差分析。【结果】方差分析结果表明,白蚁种类和不同木材对白蚁取食率和死亡率均影响显著。在供试的7种木材中,黑胸散白蚁最喜食垂柳和马尾松,其取食率分别为31.46和30.59 mg;台湾乳白蚁最喜食马尾松、水杉和银杏,其取食率分别为26.53、21.82和21.81 mg。两种白蚁对银杏、垂柳、广玉兰这3种木材的取食率有显著差异,而对其他4种木材的取食率差异不显著。【结论】白蚁取食率和死亡率受白蚁种类和木材品种影响明显。7种供试木材中,两种白蚁都对马尾松显示出明显偏好,且死亡率最低。     

花胸散白蚁多型行为的初步分析

该文在花胸散白蚁Reticulitermes fukienensis Light的侦察行为和取食行为方面进行了比较详细的探讨,同时还分析了其消化系统发育与取食行为变化之间的相互关系。实验结果表明年龄是影响花胸散白蚁多型行为的一个比较重要的因素。而且发现幼蚁和工蚁的消化系统发育是与其取食行为相一致的,特别是后肠囊从幼蚁的细条消化道发育为成年工蚁的膨大囊袋这一过程是花胸散白蚁群体中存在着取食多型行为的强有力的证据。     

容器形状和出口位置对台湾乳白蚁逃遁行为的影响(英文)

【目的】逃离危险对集群生活的动物来说是一项重要挑战。白蚁是真社会性昆虫,群体密度较大。因此,白蚁可能进化出了特殊的策略集体逃离危险情境。【方法】本研究比较了实验室条件下台湾乳白蚁Coptotermes formosanus工蚁在不同形状容器(没有出口的圆形和方形容器)的逃遁行为,并调查了在有出口的情况下,台湾乳白蚁工蚁从圆形容器边缘、方形容器直角处和方形容器直角边中间的撤离效率。【结果】在没有出口的情况下,受惊的台湾乳白蚁立即移动到圆形或方形容器的边缘区域并沿着容器的壁移动。然而,在方形容器的直角处,逃遁的台湾乳白蚁工蚁形成明显的堵塞(直角附近的白蚁密度显著高于其他区域,而移动速度显著低于其他区域的白蚁)。当容器上有出口时,大部分台湾乳白蚁工蚁分散在容器边缘,因此在出口位置周围未发现明显的堵塞。有趣的是,台湾乳白蚁工蚁逃出有出口的圆形容器的时间与从出口在直角附近的方形容器的无显著差异,但其从出口在直角边中间的方形容器的逃出时间更长。【结论】研究结果表明容器形状与出口位置均对台湾乳白蚁工蚁的逃遁行为与撤离效率造成影响。此外,白蚁使用了特殊的策略来避免多见于其他群居动物(如人类、小鼠等)的“快即慢”效应。由于白蚁工蚁没有视觉,研究白蚁的逃遁策略可为人群如何高效撤离可视度较低的危险环境提供启示。     

木腐菌对台湾乳白蚁取食偏好性的影响

本文测定了经红芝、紫芝、茯苓、黄孢原毛平革菌和密褐褶孔菌5种木腐菌腐蚀的马尾松木屑对台湾乳白蚁行为和取食反应的影响.在双重选择性试验中,与未经木腐菌腐蚀的马尾松木屑相比,台湾乳白蚁嗜好聚集和取食木腐菌腐蚀过的马尾松木屑.在多重选择性试验中,结果显示台湾乳白蚁偏好取食经茯苓、红芝或密褐褶孔菌腐蚀过的马尾松木屑.     

三种植物对狭胸散白蚁的毒杀效果

测定并比较3种植物对狭胸散白蚁Reticulitermesangustatus的毒杀效果,为应用防治狭胸散白蚁提供理论基础。本文采用闹羊花Rhododendron molle、博落回Macleaya cordata、除虫菊Pyrethrum cinerariifolium 3种常见植物为药源,选取其药用部位打成粉末,以玉米芯粉为对照,以狭胸散白蚁为靶标,测试其毒杀作用、传毒效果和趋避效果。结果表明:对狭胸散白蚁的毒杀效果以除虫菊和闹羊花为最好,当药粉质量分数达到80%,实验第7天时闹羊花和除虫菊白蚁处理组校正死亡率达到100%。传毒效果以除虫菊相对最好。随着染毒时间延长和中毒白蚁数量的增加,传毒效率也相应提高。3种植物均有一定的驱避效果,且以博落回的趋避作用最小。因此,这3种植物可用于防治狭胸散白蚁。     

台湾乳白蚁对南宁市园林树木的为害及其筑巢规律

在广西南宁市调查台湾乳白蚁Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki对园林绿化树木的危害情况及其筑巢规律。结果表明,在调查的57种树木中,有44种树木受到台湾乳白蚁的侵害,占调查树种的77.19%,树木受害株率13.38%,严重受害株率1.63%。侧柏Thuja arientalis、荫香Cinnamomum burmannii和银桦Grevillea robusta的严重受害率最高,分别为15.85%、13.43%和11.11%。台湾乳白蚁筑巢对树木种类有明显的选择性,可在树心筑巢的树种有16种,隶属于11科14属,其中筑巢率较高的树种为荫香、侧柏、银桦和桂花树Osmanthus fragrans,分别占所调查树木的16.42%、15.85%、11.11%和10.91%;其次为樟树Cinnamonaom camphora、大叶桉Eucalyptus robusta和白千层Melaleuca leucadendta,筑巢率分别为7.98%、5.76%和3.42%。     

台湾乳白蚁行为多型的研究

本文对台湾乳白蚁的打洞挖掘行为、取水行为、修饰行为和交哺行为进行了比较详细的定量分析,探讨了年龄和品级对台湾乳白蚁群体中行为多型的影响。实验结果表明大（老）龄工蚁承担了台湾乳白蚁群体内大多数的任务,对台湾乳白蚁群体的维持具有重要意义。另外品级也是影响台湾乳白蚁群体内劳动分化的一个重要因素。在营养交哺方面,若蚁尚不具备完好的取食行为,是群体中营养交哺的受益者,而兵蚁在台湾乳白蚁群体中占据着较重要的地位,享受着营养物质优先供应的特殊权利。     

6种糖基化合物对台湾乳白蚁糖基水解酶分泌的影响

白蚁自身及其后肠共生微生物可以分泌多种糖基水解酶用于分解木质纤维素.本研究选用1％木质素、1％羧甲基纤维素钠、1％山梨糖、1％果糖、1％葡萄糖及1％半乳糖6种糖基化合物溶液,诱导台湾乳白蚁Coptotermes formosanus糖基水解酶的分泌,进行了酶活测定.结果显示,FPA活力、内切葡聚糖酶EG、β-葡萄糖苷酶...     

一种菊酯类复合剂对黑胸散白蚁体内CarEs和Ca-ATPase活性的影响

以黑胸散白蚁Reticulitermes chinensis Snyder为试验材料,研究了一种白蚁防治复合剂中的主要成分对白蚁体内羧酸酯酶（CarEs）和钙 腺苷三磷酸酶（Ca-ATPase）的影响。结果表明：氯菊酯在终浓度为1.66×10^-4 mol·L^-1以下时,对羧酸酯酶无明显抑制作用;八氯二丙醚和壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚在此浓度下都对羧酸酯酶表现出明显抑制作用,其IC₅₀分别为7.1148×10^-5 mol·L^-1和7.3373×10^-4 mol·L^-1;氯菊酯对Ca-ATPase表现出较强抑制作用,IC₅₀为5.11×10^-7 mol·L^-1。认为Ca-ATPase是黑胸散白蚁体内拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂作用的主要靶标之一。     

五种染色剂对台湾乳白蚁的染色效果

对于白蚁种群动态的研究可以利用多种不同颜色的染料作为标记物.为了寻找适用于台湾乳白蚁Coptotermes formosanus的标记物及其使用浓度,本文选取中性红、苏丹红Ⅳ、结晶紫、孔雀石绿以及天青Ⅱ五种染色剂作为标记物,分析测定了它们对台湾乳白蚁的染色效果.结果表明,浓度为0.2%中性红适用于估计种群数量;浓度分别为0.1%、0.2%和0.5%中性红,0.5%苏丹红,0.2%结晶紫,0.5%孔雀石绿以及0.1%天青Ⅱ均适合作为监测群体活动范围的标记物.     

毒死蜱对家白蚁毒杀作用的时间与剂量效应

用含不同毒死蜱浓度的毒土对家白蚁（Ｃｏｐｔｏｔｅｒｎｅｓ ｆｏｕｍｏｓａｍｕｓ Ｓｈｉｒａｋｉ）进行了生物测定,浓度范围为０．０１５－０．４８ｍｇ／ｋｇ。观察２周。实验观察发现土壤中毒死蜱浓度为０．４８－０．０６ｍｇ／ｋｇ时,白蚁接触毒土出现的死亡高峰为４小时至２天;在０．０３ｍｇ／ｋｇ时,死亡高峰在１周以后;而浓度为０．０１５ｍｇ／ｋｇ时,２周内仍观察不到白蚁死亡。所获的生物测定数据很好地拟合时     

黑翅土白蚁与其它二种白蚁种群间的相容性

将黑翅土白蚁Odontotermes formosanus(Shiraki)与另外2个种群的白蚁按一定比例放置于同一培养皿中观察其斗争情况,研究黑翅土白蚁与台湾乳白蚁Coptotermes formosanus(Shiraki)和黑胸散白蚁Reticulitermes chinensisSnyder的相容性。结果表明,实验一开始,双方的工蚁和兵蚁都立即进入激烈的嘶咬斗争,在不同配比下,开始5min内的斗争次数均在40次左右,5h后开始5min内的斗争次数陡然下降,几乎不发生争斗。各种群白蚁在其数量占优势的情况下均表现出显著的斗争优势;而在双方数量相当时,黑翅土白蚁工蚁的斗争能力明显强于另外2个种群的工蚁。结果表明,自然界中不可能出现黑翅土白蚁与家白蚁和黑胸散白蚁群体的偶然性融合,黑翅土白蚁很可能在其群体建立的地区中占据优势。     

吡虫啉防治家白蚁的室内药效试验

在实验室用吡虫啉制剂－康福多和大功臣0．05％、0．1％和0．2％三种浓度,对家白蚁进行毒土触杀、穿土和选择性试验。结果表明：康福多和大功臣触杀速度较毒死蜱慢,白蚁不能穿透康福多和大功臣三种浓度配制的毒土层,预防作用明显,康福多和大功臣对家白蚁无驱避作用。     

Interspecific Interactions Between Coptotermes formosanus and Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Laboratory Bioassays

Experiments were conducted to examine competitive interactions between the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (FST), and the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) (EST), using groups of termites with different worker:soldier proportions. Experiments were conducted using three connected test chambers: an FST chamber, an unoccupied center chamber, and an EST chamber. When groups of FST were comprised of 20% soldiers versus 2% EST soldiers, only 8% of center chambers were occupied exclusively by EST. When groups of FST were comprised of 10% soldiers versus 1% EST soldiers, 44% of center chambers were occupied exclusively by EST. When the only food source was located in the center chamber, 60% of center chambers were occupied by both species. FST did not completely displace EST in any of these experiments.     

Intracolonial differences in gut bacterial community between worker and soldier castes of Coptotermes formosanus

Abstract The establishment of symbiotic relationships with intestinal microorganisms enables termites to thrive on recalcitrant substrates such as cellulose and wood. A termite colony is composed of several different castes which have distinct feeding habits. The soldiers, for example, cannot feed by themselves and depend on workers, who feed them with digested or semi‐digested foods. To investigate the influence of feeding habits on the bacterial symbionts, a comparative study of gut bacteria between worker and soldier castes of the termite Coptotermes formosanus was conducted. The bacterial communities of both castes were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and clonal analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA). Both methods indicated Bacteroidetes was the common predominant group; the common dominant phylotype was affiliated with a reported uncultured Bacteroidetes phylotype (BCf1–03). There were significant differences in Bacteroidetes and Spirochaetes between two castes. Compared to the gut bacteria of workers, those of soldiers were lower in abundance and diversity of Bacteroidetes and slightly higher in Spirochaetes. Two phylotypes (W8, W11) affiliated to Bacteroidetes and two (W26, W29) affiliated to Spirochaetes were exclusively found in the DGGE profile of the worker caste. Bacteroidetes are assumed to be involved in fermentation of sugars and nitrogenous compounds as well as degradation of uric acid. Spirochaetes are supposed to aid in the functions of acetogenesis and N₂‐fixation. The different feeding habits between workers and soldiers of C. formosanus may explain the observed differences in the gut bacterial community.     

台湾乳白蚁跟踪信息素粗提物活性与应用研究

台湾乳白蚁是我国为害最凶的一种白蚁。对它的防治早就引起国内外白蚁工作者的广泛重视。目前越来越多的做法是将“诱”与“杀”两个步骤合二为一。也有许多学者已将白蚁的跟踪信息素用于白蚁的诱集上作了研究。本文介绍了台湾乳白蚁跟踪信息素粗提物生物活性,包含信息素的提取、跟踪反应、引诱效应、感受距离测定,以及在台湾乳白蚁防治上的实际应用等。     

白蚁内切-β—1，4-葡聚糖酶基因的克隆、表达、纯化及酶学性质的研究

提取了台湾家白蚁总RNA并反转录获得eDNA,PCR扩增出白蚁内切葡聚糖酶的基因,并将目的基因分别克隆到大肠杆菌和酿酒酵母载体中,构建了产内切-β-1,4-葡聚糖酶的基因工程菌。由于大肠杆菌会有少量的泄漏表达,而所用的酿酒酵母表达载体是本实验室构建带有INU信号肽的表达载体,故都可采用刚果红平板染色法筛选具有羧甲基纤维素酶（CMCase）活性的重组转化子。利用金属镍亲和层析对大肠杆菌表达的内切-β-1,4-葡聚糖酶进行纯化,CMC酶活检测显示纯化酶的最适温度和最适pH值分别为42℃、6．5;内切-β-1,4-葡聚糖酶的Vmax为0．071mg／mL·min,Km值为80．2712mg／mL。     

不同pH值土层对台湾乳白蚁穿透力及取食的影响

我国有400多种白蚁,它们主要分布在华南一带,常见危害种台湾乳白蚁Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki是危害房屋建筑、林木果树的主要害虫。为摸清不同pH土壤与台湾乳白蚁生存和取食的关系,测定pH1.7～10.8的黄粘土泥层对台湾乳白蚁活动和取食的影响。结果表明,台湾乳白蚁能快速穿透pH3.0～10.1范围的泥层,进入泥层中心取食木块;随着泥层pH值的增加穿透力减弱,取食量减少。采用逐步回归方程预测,台湾乳白蚁不能进入土层蛀蚀木块的土壤pH范围为<1.85和>10.91。     

Responses of Coptotermes formosanus and Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) to three types of wood rot fungi cultured on different substrates

This study examined the responses of two termite species, the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, and the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), to three types of wood decay fungi: a brown rot fungus, Gloeophyllum trabeum (Persoon: Fries) Murrill; a white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burdsall; and a litter rot fungus, Marasmiellus troyanus (Murrill) Singer. We also examined the responses of termites to these three types of fungi grown on different substrates. For all three fungal species, both termite species showed a strong preference for fungus-infected sawdust over uninfected sawdust. In choice tests, both termite species preferred sawdust infected with either M. troyanus or P. chrysosporium over G. trabeum. However, termites did not show any preference for fungus-infected potato dextrose agar over uninfected potato dextrose agar. Tunneling activity of C. formosanus was greater in sand treated with methanol extracts of fungus-infected sawdust than in sand treated with extracts of uninfected sawdust. Because chemicals in the fungal extracts caused termites to tunnel further into treated sand than untreated sand, these chemicals could potentially be used to direct termite foraging toward bait stations in the field.     

Preliminary experiments on the olfactory responses of Pterostichus melanarius Illiger (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to intact plants

1 In two successive years, the olfactory responses of Pterostichus melanarius Illiger (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to intact cabbage and white clover plants were studied, using a four‐arm olfactometer. 2 The first set of experiments tested the response to the odours of cabbage, white clover and the two plants grown together against potting compost; in the second and third sets of experiments, white clover and cabbage were tested, respectively. 3 The results indicate that female P. melanarius individuals are arrested by the combined odours of cabbage and white clover, spending significantly more time in the cabbage with white clover odour field than in either the cabbage, white clover or control odour fields. 4 Similar results were not found for males. 5 Cabbage plants alone did not elicit significant responses in either sex. 6 White clover alone did not elicit significant responses by females and the responses of males were not uniform in the two successive years.
