外用保幼激素与早熟素对丽斗蟋翅二型个体飞行与生殖发育间生理权衡的影响（英文）

为探讨丽斗蟋Velarifictorus ornatus翅二型个体飞行与生殖发育间生理权衡的内分泌控制机理, 本研究调查了外用保幼激素Ⅲ(JH-III)与早熟素Ⅰ(P-I)对丽斗蟋翅二型个体飞行肌与生殖发育的影响。结果表明： 成虫羽化后当日分别注射1, 5, 10和25 μg保幼激素7 d后, 显著促进了丽斗蟋长翅雌虫卵巢发育, 卵巢重量分别从对照组的16.8±11.4 mg/♀增加到43.9±10.7, 33.6±14.0, 56.8±7.6和 39.3±30.7 mg/♀; 但对卵巢内怀卵量无显著影响。相反, 外用保幼激素则诱发飞行肌降解, 1, 5和10 μg JH-III处理组飞行肌重量分别下降为12.9±4.7, 11.7±4.8和8.8±0.8 mg/♀, 显著低于对照组飞行肌重量(17.7±1.6 mg)。对短翅雌虫注射P-I时, 当注射的剂量超过50 μg/♀时, 能够显著抑制卵巢发育, 而低于50 μg/♀时则对卵巢发育无明显影响。外用JH-III对丽斗蟋长翅雄虫飞行肌、 精巢、 附腺的发育无明显影响; 外用P-I对短翅型雄虫精巢与附腺的发育也无明显影响。因此, 丽斗蟋翅二型雌虫与雄虫的飞行肌与生殖器官的内分泌控制机理可能存在差异。     

丽斗蟋翅二型雌虫飞行肌和卵巢发育间的资源分配差异

丽斗蟋Velarifictorus ornatus具有明显的翅二型现象, 长翅型与短翅型雌虫的卵巢和飞行肌存在着生理权衡。本研究分别应用蒽酮比色法、 硫代磷酸香草醛法、 考马斯亮蓝染液对羽化后10 d内两型雌虫飞行肌与卵巢内糖原、 总脂及蛋白质含量进行了定量分析。结果表明： 成虫羽化后10 d内, 两型雌虫体重无明显差异(P>0.05), 但短翅型雌虫怀卵量明显多于长翅型雌虫, 而人工脱翅能够促进长翅型雌虫怀卵量增加(P<0.05)。短翅型雌虫飞行肌内蛋白质、 糖原及总脂含量在成虫羽化后10 d内无明显变化, 但长翅型雌虫飞行肌内蛋白质在成虫羽化后3 d时达到最大值564.4±87.5 μg/♀, 糖原与总脂含量分别于羽化后第5天达到最大值85.2±21.7 μg/♀和5 284.7±1 267.4 μg/♀。然后开始下降, 各实验处理天数内, 长翅型雌虫飞行肌内蛋白质、 糖原及总脂含量都显著多于短翅型雌虫(P<0.05)。相反, 各处理天数内, 短翅型雌虫卵巢内蛋白质、 糖原及总脂含量则明显多于长翅型雌虫(P<0.05), 同时虫龄对蛋白质、 糖原及总脂在两型雌虫飞行肌与卵巢内分配也产生明显影响(P<0.05)。人工脱翅能够促进长翅型雌虫卵巢内蛋白质、 糖原及总脂含量增加, 同时诱导飞行肌内蛋白质、 糖原及总脂含量降低, 其中总脂含量在脱翅后10 d时降为2 394.9±1 461.8 μg/♀, 只有最大值的一半, 而与短翅型雌虫相似(P>0.05), 表明总脂为丽斗蟋飞行的主要能源物质。外用保幼激素Ⅲ能够促进长翅型雌虫卵巢内蛋白质、 糖原及总脂含量增加(P<0.05), 但对飞行肌内三者含量无明显影响(P>0.05), 外用早熟素Ⅰ对短翅型雌虫卵巢内蛋白质、 糖原及总脂含量亦无明显影响(P>0.05)。上述结果表明, 丽斗蟋长翅型雌虫首先将获得的资源用于发育飞行所需的飞行肌, 短翅型雌虫则首先将所获得的资源用于发育繁殖所需的卵巢, 但长翅型雌虫飞行肌与卵巢间的资源分配方式受保幼激素的影响。     

食物胁迫对翅二型丽斗蟋飞行肌和繁殖发育的影响

前期研究表明,在食物充足的条件下,翅二型丽斗蟋雌成虫长、短翅型间存在着资源投入和收益的权衡关系(trade-off);而雄成虫长短翅型间不存在此类权衡关系。在自然条件下,昆虫可能遭受食物缺乏的胁迫,因而进一步就食物胁迫对丽斗蟋飞行肌和繁殖发育的影响进行了研究。结果表明,在食物胁迫的条件下,长翅雌虫仍维持飞行肌的发育,但繁殖发育受到显著的抑制;而短翅雌虫飞行肌显著降解,繁殖发育亦维持在较高水平。说明即使是营养缺乏时,其雌成虫长、短翅型也依然存在资源配置的差异,具飞行肌和繁殖发育的权衡关系。长翅雄虫飞行肌的重量与食物充足组并无显著差异,但精巢的干重显著降低;而短翅雄虫在食物胁迫条件下飞行肌显著降解,但其精巢重量与食物充足组并无显著差异。可以认为,丽斗蟋雄虫的长、短翅型间也存在飞行肌和繁殖发育的权衡关系。     

小翅稻蝗(Oxya yezoensis Shiraki)翅多型现象浅释

对小翅稻蝗翅型构成的季节变化,长翅型、短翅型产卵前期间的差异及光周期对翅型分化的影响进行了调查,结果表明,小翅稻蝗存在着明显的翅多型现象,相对翅长(前翅长/后足腿节长)最长可达1.49,最短只有0.50,翅长呈连续性双模态分布。早期羽化的个体大多为长翅型,随着季节的推移,羽化成虫短翅率逐渐增加。长翅型雌成虫的产卵前期间为42.7±13.1日,短翅型为15.3±6.4日,短翅型雌成虫的产卵前期间显著短于长翅型。不同的光周期短翅成虫出现的比例不同,光照短于LD1212时,几乎全为短翅型,LD1410短翅率为66.8%,LD168则长翅率达62.1%,光照长于LD186时,几乎全为长翅型。     

褐飞虱翅型分化的组织学研究

利用石蜡切片的方法,观察并比较了褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens (Stal)长翅型和短翅型纯系各龄若虫及成虫的翅芽和间接飞行肌的发育情况。发现在4龄的第8h以后间接飞行肌就开始分化,长翅型若虫的间接飞行肌正常发育而短翅型若虫间接飞行肌的发育则被抑制。在5龄初始时方可明显观察到翅芽分化,短翅型若虫前翅芽细胞增殖速度明显慢于长翅型,并且其后翅芽停止发育。本文还比较了长翅型雌、雄性个体之间间接飞行肌的发育情况。     

高温对稻褐飞虱发育与生殖的影响

通过高温处理及交配产卵实验,探讨了高温对稻褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens (Stal)发育与生殖的影响。研究了不同高温条件对褐飞虱若虫发育历期、产卵量、产卵前期、寿命等生物学特性的影响。34℃以上高温导致褐飞虱若虫发育历期延长。高温处理4龄若虫使羽化后的雌成虫产卵量减少。高温处理不同日龄雌成虫也致使其产卵量减少,其中以1日龄短翅型、3日龄长翅型的产卵量影响最大。高温处理后褐飞虱寿命缩短。高温恒温处理,对短翅型雌成虫的产卵前期影响不大,但能延长长翅型雌成虫的产卵前期;而高温变温处理致使短、长翅型雌成虫的产卵前期均延长。高温变温对褐飞虱生殖的影响程度大于高温恒温。高温处理组雌、雄成虫与对照组相应的成虫交配试验表明,高温对雌性的影响大于雄性。实验初步确定34℃为对褐飞虱发育与生殖产生影响的临界温度。     

白背飞虱飞行能力的研究

本文采用微机测试系统研究了白背飞虱成虫的飞行能力及其与日龄的关系。成虫飞行能力个体间变异很大,可以分为多种类型。通过比较雌成虫卵巢发育和吊飞飞行能力,为白背飞虱迁飞型给出了可靠指标。长翅型成虫持续飞行10分钟以上定为迁飞型,短于10分钟者定为非迁飞型。在拥挤迁出条件下,长翅型成虫在羽化后3～5天飞行能力最强。最长的一头雌成虫飞行持续1715分钟,达36529.5米。雌成虫的飞行能力随卵巢发育而下降,呈卵子发生一飞行共轭现象。     

沙蟋翅多型性的调控机理

沙蟋Gryllus firmus Zera&Denno成虫的后翅有长翅和短翅2种类型,是翅多型性机理研究的极佳模式昆虫。长翅成虫从第5日龄开始迁飞,而短翅成虫的主要特点是繁殖。除了翅的表型差异外,长翅成虫的飞行肌发达,呈褐色;卵巢幼小,直到飞行停止后(大约在10d以后)才开始发育。而短翅成虫的飞行肌退化并呈乳白色;卵巢在第4日龄就发育成熟,表现为卵巢硕大。对翅多型性机理的深入研究,将有利于了解沙蟋迁飞和扩散的内在机理,为准确地预测预报该虫的发生提供重要的理论和实际依据。文章概述沙蟋翅多型性与外界环境的相互关系,以及体内生化代谢和内分泌激素等的变化对该虫迁飞和生殖的影响和作用,进而探讨翅多型的遗传机制和进化意义等问题。     

白背飞虱生殖行为的研究

本文测定了白背飞虱羽化、交配、产卵等生殖行为。结果表明,雄成虫较雌成虫羽化早;羽化高峰雄虫在中午前后,雌虫为午夜前后和早晨;交配日节律高峰在下午和后半夜;产卵日节律高峰在中午前后;雌成虫一生只交配1次,雄成虫可交配1～3次;交配前期长翅型显著长于短翅型,交配成功率为41.33％(实验种群);交配持续时间平均为91.87～92.80秒;未交配雌成虫的产卵前期显著长于交配过的雌成虫;交配前期、交配持续时间、产卵前期的遗传力h~2分别为0.1581、0.2661和0.2421。

Physiological trade‐offs between flight muscle and reproductive development in the wing‐dimorphic cricket Velarifictorus ornatus

Morphology, flight muscles, and reproductive development were compared between long‐winged (LW) and short‐winged (SW) morphs of the cricket Velarifictorus ornatus (Shiraki) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae). There was no difference in body weight and pre‐oviposition between the two morphs, but LW individuals had better‐developed flight muscles than SW individuals during and after emergence of the adult. The flight muscles at adult emergence represented 11.9% of the total body weight in the LW female and 4.9% in the SW female. In addition, the weight of the flight muscle of LW females increased by 50% during the first 5 days, whereas the flight muscle of the SW variant increased only slightly after adult emergence. The process of oviposition in LW, SW, and de‐alated females varied: SW females produced more eggs at the early stage than LW females, but de‐alation could shorten the time until the peak of egg laying and caused histolysis of flight muscles of LW females. There was no significant difference in total egg production between the above three groups. In the male, unlike the female, the accessory glands of the two wing morphs enlarged continuously at the same rate. There was no difference between the two wing morphs in the mass of the testes during the first 7 days after adult emergence.     

Physiological trade-offs between reproduction,flight capability and longevity in a wing-dimorphic cricket,Modicogryllus confirmatus

Physiological and morphological comparisons were made between the short-winged (SW) and long-winged (LW) morphs of a cricket, Modicogryllus confirmatus, to determine the cost of the flight capacity and the physiological mechanisms underlying trade-offs between different life history traits related to migration and reproduction. Both wingmorphs grew at a similar rate and no consistent correlation was found between nymphal development and adult body size. The metathoracic muscles at adult emergence represented 4.2% of the wet body weight in the SW morph and 10.5% in the LW morph. Fat content of the body at adult emergence was positively correlated to dry body weight, but no significant difference was found in mean fat content between the two wingmorphs or between sexes after body weight was adjusted. SW females fed ad libitum produced significantly more eggs than LW females during the first 20days of adult life. Egg production was not correlated to either body size or the duration of nymphal development. LW adults lived longer than SW ones when kept with water alone or when given various amounts of food on day 1 and otherwise kept with water alone. In females, a highly significant correlation was found between longevity and egg production, indicating the presence of a trade-off. LW females mainly allocated the energy from food to flight muscle development and general maintenance of the body rather than to egg production, whereas SW females used it for egg production and longevity. LW females that had been de-alated at adult emergence histolyzed the flight muscle and used the energy from food for egg production almost exclusively. These results suggest that energy allocation and trade-offs after adult emergence may play crucial roles in the functional differentiation of the two wingmorphs.     

Juvenile hormone titer and morph-specific reproduction in the wing-polymorphic cricket,Gryllus firmus

Juvenile hormone titers and reproductive characteristics were measured in adult wing and flight-muscle morphs of the wing-polymorphic cricket, Gryllus firmus, during the first week of adulthood. This species has three morphs: one flight capable morph with fully-developed wings and fully-developed flight muscles [LW(F)], one flightless morph with fully-developed wings and histolyzed (non-functional) flight muscles [LW(H)], and another flightless morph with underdeveloped (short) wings and underdeveloped flight muscles (SW). Both flightless morphs [LW(H) and SW] had larger ovaries which contained a greater number of postvitellogenic eggs compared with the flight capable [LW(F)] morph. The juvenile hormone titer was significantly higher in SW compared with LW(F) females on days 3-7 of adulthood. On these days, the JH titer also was significantly higher in the other flightless morph, LW(H), compared with flight-capable [LW(F)] females as determined by one statistical test, but did not differ significantly by another test. The JH titer was positively correlated with ovarian mass or terminal oocyte length, but not with the number of post-vitellogenic eggs. This study is the first direct comparison of juvenile hormone titers in adult wing morphs of a wing-polymorphic insect. Results indicate that an elevated juvenile hormone titer may be at least partly responsible for one of the most distinctive features of wing-polymorphic species, the increased early fecundity of flightless females.     

Effects of suppressed oviposition activity and flight muscle histolysis on food consumption and ovarian development in a wing-dimorphic cricket: an explanation for sporadic conclusions related to physiological trade-offs

The effects of deprivation of oviposition substrate on food consumption and egg production were compared between the long-winged (LW) and the short-winged (SW) morph of a cricket, Modicogryllus confirmatus, to determine how suppressed oviposition activity would influence these traits in each wing morph. Food consumption was greatly suppressed in females deprived of oviposition substrate (-OS) compared to those given access to it (+OS) during the 2-week feeding trial in the SW morph but not in the LW morph. Some LW females shed their hindwings and histolyzed the flight muscles. Such de-alated LW (DLW) morphs tended to consume more food than intact LW (ILW) morphs. In all morphs, ovarian weight was heavier under -OS conditions than under +OS conditions during the second week of adulthood, although the differences were greater in SW morphs than in ILW morphs. In DLW morphs in which flight muscle histolysis was induced by artificial de-alation at adult emergence, the temporal changes in ovarian weight were similar to those of SW morphs.In SW morphs, food consumption was also significantly reduced when ovipositing females were deprived of oviposition substrate for 2 days compared to those allowed to oviposit continuously, but food consumption was not reduced in ILW or DLW morphs. SW females from which one ovary was extirpated at adult emergence, SW (-o), also showed a significant difference in food consumption when treated as above, indicating that food consumption was not determined simply by the number of ovarian eggs. The crop content was positively correlated to food consumption and smaller under -OS conditions than under +OS conditions. The 2-day deprivation of oviposition substrate caused no significant difference in the total number of deposited and ovarian eggs in any group, but the ovarian mass of developing oocytes tended to be smaller under -OS than under +OS conditions, particularly in SW morphs.These results indicate the possibility that some inconsistent results and conclusions discussed in recent studies, concerning the physiological trade-offs between flight capability and reproduction, were caused by the suppressed oviposition activity and failure to recognize the occurrence of flight muscle growth and histolysis in the test crickets.     

Trade‐off between flight capability and reproduction in male Velarifictorus asperses crickets

1. There are numerous data that support the trade‐off between flight capability and reproduction in female wing polymorphic insects, but the relationship between wing form and fitness remains poorly investigated in males. 2. In the present study, the development of flight muscle and gonads, spermatophore size, and multiple copulation ability were investigated in both long‐winged (LW) and short‐winged (SW) males to verify this trade‐off, using a wing dimorphic cricket species Velarifictorus aspersus (Walker). 3. The LW males had better‐developed wing muscles than the SW males on the day of emergence, and both of them developed wing muscles after emergence, but the peak of weight in SW males was achieved 4 days later than that of the LW males. The accessory glands (AG) of the LW males developed significantly slower than that of the SW males. These results suggest that development and maintenance of flight muscles have a cost on the development of reproductive organs in male V. asperses. 4. The SW males produced significantly heavier spermatophores in a single copulation and mated more often than LW males. This indicates the SW males have a higher mating success than the LW males, thereby increasing their chance of siring offspring.     

THE GENETIC BASIS OF THE TRADE-OFF BETWEEN CALLING AND WING MORPH IN MALES OF THE CRICKET GRYLLUS FIRMUS

Wing dimorphisms exist in a wide range of insects. In wing-dimorphic species one morph is winged has functional flight muscles (LW), and is flight-capable, whereas the other has reduced wings (SW) and cannot fly The evolution and maintenance of wing dimorphisms is believed to be due to trade-offs between flight capability and fitness-related traits. Although there are well-established phenotypic trade-offs associated with wing dimorphism in female insects, there only exist two studies that have established a genetic basis to these trade-offs. The present study provides the first evidence for a genetically based trade-off in male insects, specifically in the sand cricket Gryllus firmus. Because they have to expend energy to maintain the flight apparatus (especially flight muscles), LW males are predicted to call less and therefore to attract fewer females. To be of evolutionary significance, call duration wing morph, and wing muscle condition (size and functionality) should all have measurable heritabilities and all be genetically correlated. Differences between morphs in male G. firmus in the likelihood of attracting a female were tested in the laboratory using a T-maze where females chose between a LW male and a SW male. Call duration for each male was recorded on the sixth day of adult life. A significant difference in call duration was found between SW and LW males (SW = 0.86 ± 0.01, LW = 0.64 ± 0.01 h). SW males attracted significantly more females than did LW males (63% vs. to 37%). All the traits involved in the trade-off had significant heritabilities (call = 0 75 ± 0 33; wing morph = 0.22 ± 007; muscle weight = 0.38 ± 0.09) and genetic correlations (call and wing morph = -0.46 ± 0.20 for SW, -0.68 ± 0.16 for LW; LW call and muscle weight = -0.80 ± 0.14). These results provide the first documented evidence that trade-offs between a dimorphic trait and a fitness-related character in males has a genetic basis and hence can be of evolutionary significance.

Food digestion capability and digestive enzyme activity in female adults of the wing‐dimorphic cricket Velarifictorus ornatus

Velarifictorus ornatus (Shiraki) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) display distinct wing variation, and a physiological trade‐off between reproduction and flight muscles has been observed in long‐winged (LW) and short‐winged (SW) females. To understand the physiological basis of this trade‐off, we investigated the difference in the food digestion capability and digestive enzyme activity between LW and SW females. We found that the efficiency of conversion of digested food into body matter of SW females was significantly higher than that of the LW females, although there was no difference in the approximate digestibility between LW and SW females during the first 12 days after the adult emergence. Similarly, growth and relative growth were significantly higher in SW females. The food consumption of SW females was significantly higher than that of the LW females only in the first 6 days after the adult emergence, suggesting enhanced ovary development in SW females is probably because of the elevated efficiency of conversion of digested food into body matter coupled with greater consumption in the early stage after the adult emergence. Trypsin‐like activity was higher in SW females than in LW females, whereas no differences in the fresh weight of the midguts (including content) were observed between LW and SW females at 1, 3, or 5 h after refeeding after starvation for 18 h. In contrast, amylase activity varied significantly depending on time lapse after refeeding, being significantly higher in LW females than in SW females at 1 h after refeeding, but significantly lower in LW females than in SW females at 3 and 5 h after refeeding. The lipase activity displayed a similar trend in both LW and SW females after refeeding, with an initial decline followed by a slight increase; and no difference was observed between LW and SW females at any stage after refeeding.
