白蜡虫产卵期雌虫密度与黑缘红瓢虫发育历期和捕食作用的关系

本文研究了白蜡虫Ericerus pela Chavannes产卵期雌虫密度对黑缘红瓢虫Chilocorusrubidus Hope发育历期的影响.结果表明,黑缘红瓢虫1-4龄幼虫发育历期与白蜡虫产卵期雌虫密度呈幂函数关系:Y=aX-b,相关系数达极显著.经回归系数显著性检验,对白蜡虫被捕食率造成显著影响的因子主要有白蜡虫密度(X1)、黑缘红瓢虫3、4龄幼虫和成虫密度(X4、X5、X6).白蜡虫产卵期雌虫、黑缘红瓢虫各龄幼虫和成虫自身的交互作用均达显著水平,但这些因子之间的交互作用均未达显著水平.剔除不显著因子后的优化模型为:Y=0.7438-0.0625X1+0.0517X4+0.0708X5+0.0483X6-0.0817X12-0.0392X22-0.0257X32-0.0392X42-0.0392X52-0.0392X62.     

防御性被捕食者可利用量的波动可调节六斑月瓢虫的功能反应曲线（英文）

【目的】本研究评价了在被捕食者波动条件下,在花生蚜Aphis craccivora Koch和萝卜蚜Lipaphis erysimi(Kaltenbach)上六斑月瓢虫Menochilus sexmaculatus(Fabricius)4龄幼虫的功能反应。萝卜蚜是一种含烯丙基异硫氰酸酯的防御性被捕食者。我们推测,在试验的被捕食者条件下,在最适量被捕食者或丰富的被捕食者条件下饲养的幼虫比在缺乏被捕食者条件下饲养的幼虫表现出更好的功能反应。而在萝卜蚜上六斑月瓢虫的功能反应曲线的斜率比在花生蚜上要低。【方法】将六斑月瓢虫4龄幼虫从饲养条件(缺乏被捕食者/最适乏被捕食者/丰富的被捕食者)突然转移到不同的试验条件(极为缺乏被捕食者/缺乏被捕食者/次适量被捕食者/最适量被捕食者/丰富的被捕食者)下,外推出其功能曲线。【结果】尽管被捕食资源发生了改变,但是六斑月瓢虫4龄幼虫在花生蚜上表现出Ⅱ型反应,而在萝卜蚜上表现出改变的Ⅱ型反应。此外,在5个试验条件下,不管是哪种被捕食者,在最适量被捕食者/丰富的被捕食者条件下饲养的4龄幼虫均表现出正常的捕食率。但是在缺乏被捕食者条件下饲养的4龄幼虫突然转变到最适量/丰富的被捕食者实验条件下时,它们通过取食比平时更多的被捕食者的生物量来补偿食物的短缺。不过,它们在丰富的被捕食者条件下的取食量最高,在极为缺乏被捕食者的试验条件下的取食量最低。而且,在花生蚜上记录到较高的攻击率和较低的猎物处理时间。【结论】结果说明,萝卜蚜可利用量的波动可改变六斑月瓢虫幼虫的功能反应。然而,对于六斑月瓢虫而言,花生蚜比萝卜蚜是更为合适的被捕食者。     

三种瓢虫集团内捕食卵对初龄幼虫生长发育的影响

种内和种间捕食卵现象常见于对食蚜瓢虫的研究报道中。源自亚洲、入侵北美和欧洲的异色瓢虫(Harmonia axyridis)由于卵含有生物碱而被认为可能是威胁本土瓢虫生存的原因,但该推测只有在明确异色瓢虫在原产地是否对本土瓢虫具有类似负面影响后,才能确证。通过饲喂实验,旨在明确异色瓢虫在原产地是否对本土七星瓢虫(Coccinella septempunctata)和龟纹瓢虫(Propylea japonica)具有食卵负面作用,为揭示异色瓢虫入侵机理提供依据。实验中用蚜虫(对照)和3种瓢虫卵对瓢虫初孵1龄幼虫进行饲喂处理,观察幼虫生长发育指标。对瓢虫初龄幼虫存活表现的分析结果表明:(1)龟纹瓢虫初孵幼虫取食同种卵和七星瓢虫卵后存活至2龄的比率均高于取食异色瓢虫卵的近7倍;(2)七星瓢虫幼虫取食异色瓢虫卵未存活到2龄,但取食其他瓢虫卵和蚜虫后85%以上个体存活至2龄;(3)异色瓢虫初孵幼虫取食同种和其他2种瓢虫卵后有90%以上存活至2龄。龟纹瓢虫和七星瓢虫1龄幼虫取食异种卵比同种卵后的发育历期显著延长,但异色瓢虫并未表现出差异。龟纹瓢虫和异色瓢虫1龄幼虫取食同种和异种卵后的体增重相同,但七星瓢虫取食龟纹瓢虫卵后体增重比取食同种卵减小。研究结果说明,异色瓢虫卵对七星瓢虫和龟纹瓢虫初孵幼虫的生存具有负面影响,反之不然。所以,取食异色瓢虫卵本身并非是导致北美和欧洲本土瓢虫数量减少的原因。     

捕食者对空心莲子草叶甲种群的生物胁迫

广食性捕食者广泛捕食植食性昆虫,常被用于有害生物的生物防治,也因此影响植食性昆虫对杂草的生物效果。空心莲子草叶甲(Agasicles hygrophila)(鞘翅目:叶甲科Chrysomelidae)作为入侵恶性杂草空心莲子草(Alternanthera philoxeroides)(苋科:莲子草属Alternanthera)的专性天敌,从美国的弗罗里达州引入中国,在释放地防治空心莲子草取得了较好的防治效果。虽然空心莲子草叶甲在引入地均已建立田间种群并有一定程度的自然扩散,但丰富的食物资源,并未使空心莲子草叶甲的自然种群数量变得繁荣,因此其未能有效抑制空心莲子草的扩散蔓延。在野外调查时发现空心莲子草生境中存在大量广食性捕食者。这些广食性捕食者是抑制空心莲子草叶甲种群数量扩张的生物胁迫因子吗?为此,选择捕食性昆虫龟纹瓢虫(Propylaea japonica)(鞘翅目:瓢虫科Coccinellidae)、蜘蛛类捕食者拟水狼蛛(Pirata subpiraticus)(蜘蛛目:狼蛛科Lycosidae)与斜纹猫蛛(Oxyopes sertatus)(蜘蛛目:猫蛛科Oxyopidae)为捕食者,分别以空心莲子草叶甲各虫态为猎物,构建简单的捕食者-猎物系统,在室内检测了上述3种捕食者对空心莲子草叶甲各虫态在不同密度下的日捕食量,以期了解捕食者对空心莲子草叶甲的捕食作用,客观评估空心莲子草叶甲的生物防治效能。研究结果表明:捕食者龟纹瓢虫、斜纹猫蛛与拟水狼蛛均捕食空心莲子草叶甲的卵粒及1龄、2龄幼虫,斜纹猫蛛与拟水狼蛛捕食3龄幼虫,捕食者的捕食量均随着猎物密度的升高而增加,寻找效应降低。三者均不捕食成虫。除拟水狼蛛对3龄幼虫的捕食用Holling II模型拟合不呈显著相关关系外,其余捕食反应均拟合Holling II模型并显著相关。通过拟合方程得出捕食者对空心莲子草叶甲卵粒的理论日最大捕食量为:斜纹猫蛛10.9粒,拟水狼蛛为6.2粒,龟纹瓢虫为5.6粒;对1龄幼虫的理论日最大捕食量为:斜纹猫蛛为17.1头;拟水狼蛛为35.8头,龟纹瓢虫为10.4头;对2龄幼虫的理论日最大捕食量为:斜纹猫蛛为6.6头,拟水狼蛛为11.2头,龟纹瓢虫为2.9头;对3龄幼虫的理论日最大捕食量为:斜纹猫蛛捕食12.3头,拟水狼蛛为1.1头。研究结果证实了捕食者可通过捕食作用降低空心莲子草叶甲种群密度,削弱空心莲子草叶甲对空心莲子草的控害效能,是空心莲子草叶甲种群存活的生物胁迫因子。建议在提高空心莲子草叶甲田间种群数量,达到对空心莲子有效的持续控制效果方面开展进一步研究。     

异色瓢虫幼虫对卵的种内自残和种间捕食

自残现象的发生在异色瓢虫Harmonia axyridis中很是常见,为明确自残行为对其存活和生长发育的影响,在非选择性条件下我们对异色瓢虫幼虫对非姊妹卵的种内自残和对七星瓢虫Coccinella septempunctata卵的种间捕食进行了研究。结果表明,异色瓢虫取食同种卵和异种卵均可完成生长发育,与取食蚜虫相比：①其从卵到成虫及蛹期的发育历期明显缩短（P<0.05）,其中1龄幼虫发育历期缩短非常明显（P<0.01）;②自然条件下高死亡率的1龄幼虫的存活率明显提高（P<0.05）;③2-4龄幼虫、蛹和成虫的体重变轻（P<0.05）,且体长在4龄幼虫间也表现出显著差异（P<0.05）。这表明异色瓢虫种内自残和种间捕食对其在食物恶劣条件下延续种群至关重要,但对种群的繁衍却不是最理想的途径。     

使用生命表评价烯啶虫胺对异色瓢虫的影响

为正确评估广谱杀虫剂烯啶虫胺对天敌昆虫异色瓢虫Harmonia axyridis(Pallas)的影响,采取滤纸接触法测定了烯啶虫胺(防治蚜虫田间推荐用量)对异色瓢虫影响,并使用生命表研究了烯啶虫胺对异色瓢虫实验种群的影响,为协调害虫的化学防治与生物防治提供参考。结果表明:该剂量烯啶虫胺对异色瓢虫当代(F0)取食具有显著影响,药剂处理后7d内,成虫取食量显著降低;对F0代成虫寿命及雌虫繁殖能力未见负面影响;烯啶虫胺处理对异色瓢虫初产卵、F1代幼虫及蛹的历期没有显著影响;卵孵化率明显小于对照组,幼虫存活率及蛹羽化率没有显著影响。F0代种群净增值力、周限增长率、内禀增长率与对照相比差异不显著,分别为812.66粒(对照899.73粒)、1.084(对照1.093)、0.081(对照0.089),药剂处理种群加倍时间为8.557d,与对照7.888d相比没有显著延长。这些结果说明,大田中使用烯啶虫胺防治蚜虫时理论上对异色瓢虫种群繁殖及发育没有显著影响,但施药初期会影响异色瓢虫的取食量。     

RNAi介导的HvCDA1基因沉默影响茄二十八星瓢虫存活和发育

【目的】茄二十八星瓢虫Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata是茄科(Solanaceae)植物上的重要害虫。昆虫体内几丁质脱乙酰酶1(chitin deacetylase 1, CDA1)催化N-乙酰氨基-D-葡萄糖胺脱去乙酰基,促使几丁质转化为壳聚糖,控制昆虫体内几丁质纤维有序堆积,并维持角质层结构的完整性。抑制虫体中CDA1基因的表达会抑制壳聚糖的合成,影响昆虫表皮结构的形成,使昆虫不能正常发育而亡。【方法】利用RT-qPCR方法测定HvCDA1基因在茄二十八星瓢虫不同发育阶段(卵、1-4龄幼虫和预蛹)和4龄幼虫不同组织(表皮、脂肪体、中肠和马氏管)中的表达模式。通过饲喂茄二十八星瓢虫1龄幼虫不同浓度dsHvCDA1溶液浸泡处理1 min的茄子叶片后及直接饲喂4龄幼虫不同浓度dsHvCDA1溶液,探究沉默茄二十八星瓢虫HvCDA1基因对其幼虫存活和发育以及HvCDA1基因表达量的影响。【结果】发育表达谱结果表明,HvCDA1在茄二十八星瓢虫的各发育阶段均有表达,但在1龄末和2龄末幼虫中的表达量最高。组织表达谱结果显示,在茄二十八星瓢虫4龄幼虫的表皮中H...

Cellobiase from Trichoderma viride: purification, properties, kinetics, and mechanism

Three distinct cellobiase components were isolated from a commercial Trichoderma viride cellulase preparation by repeated chromatography on DEAE cellulose eluting by a salt gradient. The purified cellobiase preparations were evaluated for physical properties, kinetics, and mechanism. Results from this work include: 1) development of one step enzyme purification procedure using DEAE-cellulose; 2) isolation of three chromatographically distinct, yet kinetically similar, cellobiase fractions of molecular weight of approximately 76,000; 3) determination of kinetics which shows that cellobiase hydrolyzes cellobiose by a noncompetitive mechanism and that the product, glucose, inhibits the enzyme, and 4) development of an equation, based on the mechanism of cellobiase action, which accurately predicts the time course of cellobiose hydrolysis over an eightfold range of substrate concentration and conversions of up to 90%. Based on the data presented in the paper, it is shown that product inhibition of cellobiase significantly retards the rate of cellobiose hydrolysis.     

A generic rate equation for catalysed,template-directed polymerisation

Biosynthetic networks link to growth and reproduction processes through template-directed synthesis of macromolecules such as polynucleotides and polypeptides. No rate equation exists that captures this link in a way that it can effectively be incorporated into a single computational model of the overall process. This paper describes the derivation of such a generic steady-state rate equation for catalysed, template-directed polymerisation reactions with varying monomer stoichiometry and varying chain length. The derivation is based on a classical Michaelis–Menten mechanism with template binding and an arbitrary number of chain elongation steps that produce a polymer composed of an arbitrary number of monomer types. The rate equation only requires the identity of the first dimer in the polymer sequence; for the remainder only the monomer composition needs be known. Further simplification of a term in the denominator yielded an equation requiring no positional information at all, only the monomer composition of the polymer; this equation still gave an excellent estimate of the reaction rate provided that either the monomer concentrations are at least half-saturating, or the polymer is very long.     

Clarifying the relationship among clean energy consumption,haze pollution and economic growth–based on the empirical analysis of China's Yangtze River Delta Region

At present, the frequent occurrence of haze in China has attracted extensive attention around the world. However, there are few researches based on simultaneous equation model to evaluate the relationship among clean energy consumption, haze pollution and economic growth. Whether the relationship among clean energy consumption, haze pollution and economic growth can be clarified correctly is the core issue to achieve the goal of both haze control and high-quality economic development. The innovation of this study is to further explore the interaction mechanism among the three variables, simultaneous equation model is used to analyze the relationship of clean energy development, haze pollution and economic growth of 27 cities in the central area of Yangtze River Delta from 2006 to 2016. The estimation results show that:(i) The development of clean energy has reduced regional haze pollution and the level of economic development significantly; (ii) During the study period of this paper, haze pollution has significantly increased the consumption of clean energy, but it has hindered the level of economic development seriously. (iii) The level of economic development has increased clean energy consumption at a 1% level of significance, while also exacerbated the degree of haze pollution. Moreover, as a core variable of this paper, coal consumption has restrained clean energy development and played a positive role in accelerating economic development and haze pollution reduction.

PATTERNS OF GROWTH IN BIRDS. II. GROWTH RATE AND MODE OF DEVELOPMENT

This analysis was initiated to examine the relationship between the rate of growth in birds and their development of mature function. The literature was surveyed for data on growth and development, and the growth curves of 81 species were chosen for the analysis. Growth curves of most species were fitted with the Gompertz equation, and the rate constants of the equation were used as an index of the growth rate. For those species whose curves were fitted better by other equations, with a slightly different form, appropriate conversion factors, derived in this paper, were employed.
Among species with similar modes of development, growth rate decreases with increasing body weight in an allometric manner, with slopes of –0.26 to –0.42, depending on the group. Between groups, the rate of growth in body weight was found to be closely associated with the rate of development of function, in particular, the acquisition of flight. Among those species that can walk at an early age, but acquire flight relatively late, the rate of growth depends primarily on the relative size of the musculature of the lower extremities.
Data are presented to refute the hypotheses that growth rate is adjusted to nestling mortality, or that the energy requirements of the young (and hence their growth rates) are balanced against brood size. It is concluded that most species grow at some physiologically maximum rate, but as yet it is not possible to distinguish between limitation of growth rate at the level of the organism or at the level of the tissue.     

A simple model for predicting the performance of affinity chromatography columns

Summary This paper presents a simple model for affinity chromatography, the approach used is based on the equilibrium stage model introduced by Martin and Synge (1941). The current development eliminates the need for an equilibrium assumption by using a simplified rate equation to describe the adsorption process. Although it is not mathematically rigorous this method has proved useful for the design of column experiments in our laboratory.

Waves, bumps, and patterns in neural field theories

Neural field models of firing rate activity have had a major impact in helping to develop an understanding of the dynamics seen in brain slice preparations. These models typically take the form of integro-differential equations. Their non-local nature has led to the development of a set of analytical and numerical tools for the study of waves, bumps and patterns, based around natural extensions of those used for local differential equation models. In this paper we present a review of such techniques and show how recent advances have opened the way for future studies of neural fields in both one and two dimensions that can incorporate realistic forms of axo-dendritic interactions and the slow intrinsic currents that underlie bursting behaviour in single neurons.     

Levels and rates of synthesis of ribosomal ribonucleic acid, transfer ribonucleic acid, and protein in Neurospora crassa in different steady states of growth.

The levels of ribosomes, tRNA molecules, and total protein per genome in Neurospora mycelia have been determined in eight different conditions of exponential growth. By increasing the rate of growth the number of ribosomes per genome increases dramatically while the level of total protein remains almost unchanged and the level of tRNA increases only slightly. The rates of synthesis of each of the macromolecules have been estimated. Increasing the rate of growth (mu) up to 0.5, the ratio between the rates of synthesis of tRNA and rRNA decreases reaching a constant value. The equations that best describe the dependence of the rate of synthesis of the macromolecules on the rate of growth (mu) have been determined. The rate of rRNA synthesis (rr), expressed as nucleotides polymerized, min- minus 1 per genome, is given by the equation: rr equals 6.51 times 10-7 mu-2-19. The rate of protein synthesis (rp), expressed as amino acids polymerized, min- minus 1 per genome is given by the following relationship: rp equals -1.43 times 10-7 + 3.43 times 10-8 mu. The equation describing the tRNA synthesis (rt) expressed as nucleotides, min- minus 1 per genome is rt equals 6.45 times 10-5 times exp 2.30 mu; however, more accurate determinations appear to be required for a firmer assignment of this latter equation. The significance of these equations for the studies on the regulation of rRNA and protein synthesis is discussed. For instance the rate of rRNA synthesis may set the limit for the maximal growth rate attainable by a cell, as the maximal rate of rRNA synthesis that may take place in a given cell is limited by the degree of redundancy of the rRNA genes.     

Studies in the mathematical biophysics of discrimination and conditioning II: Special case: Errors,trials, and number of possible responses

A special case of a problem discussed in a previous paper is treated in greater detail. An equation in the three variables, errors, trials and number of possible choices, is developed and compared with the results of an experiment performed under conditions closely approximating those required for the development of the equation. The agreement is excellent.
