白蜡吉丁柄腹茧蜂的羽化和产卵与寄主之间的关系

白蜡窄吉丁是危害白蜡属树木的一种重要蛀干害虫,因其幼虫期高度的隐蔽性生活而极难检测和防治.白蜡吉丁柄腹茧蜂是新发现外寄生于白蜡窄吉丁幼虫的优势天敌种,对寄主害虫的控制作用较强,具有良好的生物防治利用前景.研究调查了白蜡吉丁柄腹茧蜂及其寄主白蜡窄吉丁越冬代成虫羽化的时序差异、不同时期林间的寄生率、寄主密度与寄生率的关系以及寄主幼虫大小与茧蜂产卵量的关系.结果表明,越冬后白蜡吉丁柄腹茧蜂的羽化时间比其寄主害虫白蜡窄吉丁的羽化要晚1个多月.2003年白蜡吉丁柄腹茧蜂越冬代成虫的羽化从6月中旬持续到8月中旬,羽化高峰期在7月份;寄主白蜡窄吉丁的羽化期在5月中下旬.2004年白蜡吉丁柄腹茧蜂越冬代成虫的羽化从5月下旬持续到7月下旬,羽化高峰期在6月下旬至7月上旬;寄主羽化期在4月中旬至5月中旬（室内）.越冬后天敌的羽化时间刚好适应最早寄主发育到可供寄生的龄期,这是二者长期协同进化的结果,也表明白蜡吉丁柄腹茧蜂很可能是一种专性寄生蜂.林间白蜡吉丁柄腹茧蜂对白蜡窄吉丁幼虫的自然寄生率随着时间的推移总体上是逐步上升的.自然条件下茧蜂决定是否产卵与寄主幼虫的大小即龄期有关,它仅在前胸宽和体宽1.5 mm、体长12 mm以上,即3～4龄的寄主幼虫体表产卵,但只要接受寄主并产卵,不同龄期寄主幼虫上的产卵量无显著的差异.     

广聚萤叶甲成虫取食经历对后续 产卵寄主选择的影响

【背景】取食经历对植食性昆虫的寄主选择行为具有较大影响,影响天敌昆虫寄主专一性测定的设计和结果解释。【方法】采用选择性试验,观察了入侵豚草的重要天敌——广聚萤叶甲成虫羽化后取食不同植物对其后续产卵寄主选择的影响。【结果】与取食豚草的试虫相比,有取食三裂叶豚草、苍耳或菊芋经历的成虫选择苍耳产卵的频次增加,不再对豚草表现出明显的选择偏好性。对产卵识别期的Cox模型分析结果表明,成虫早期取食不同植物,对后续产卵选择有显著影响,成虫羽化后如果先取食豚草或三裂叶豚草,则选择苍耳产卵的倾向显著低于豚草;但如果先取食苍耳、菊芋和农家向日葵,则选择苍耳产卵的倾向与豚草无显著差异。【结论与意义】由此推测,广聚萤叶甲初羽化成虫取食的植物对其后续产卵选择具有较大影响,因而在寄主专一性测定中应关注测试前饲喂的植物种类。     

蓝色长盾金小蜂对橡副珠蜡蚧的控制作用

蓝色长盾金小蜂Scutellista caerulea Fonscolombe是橡胶树重要害虫橡副珠蜡蚧Parasaissetia nigra Nietner的一种外寄生性天敌。为了明确蓝色长盾金小蜂对橡副珠蜡蚧的控害潜能,为该寄生蜂的进一步利用提供数据支撑。在室内通过体视镜下解剖观察寄生蜂在寄主腹下是否产卵测定了不同温度、寄主发育阶段下蓝色长盾金小蜂的寄生功能反应、寻找效应和自身密度干扰效应。温度设置有21、24、27、30、33、36℃共6个处理,寄主发育阶段设初期成虫（1-2 d成虫）、褐色期成虫（体色褐色,产卵前3-4 d成虫）、黑色期成虫（体色黑色,产卵1-2 d成虫）三个处理。结果显示：蓝色长盾金小蜂对橡副珠蜡蚧的寄生功能反应符合Holling-Ⅱ型和Holling-Ⅲ型模型,在21-36℃范围内,33℃时该蜂寄生效能最大,为44.4201,21℃时最小,为9.2458;在橡副珠蜡蚧为初期成虫-黑色期成虫范围内,寄生效能由大到小为黑色期成虫>褐色期成虫>初期成虫,分别为18.9044、13.7410、7.2002。采用Hassell-Varley干扰模型对不同温度下蓝色长盾金小蜂受自身密度干扰的寄生作用率进行拟合,表明蓝色长盾金小蜂在寄生时存在种群内个体间自我干扰情况。温度会影响蓝色长盾金小蜂的搜寻和自我干扰,在21-33℃范围内,33℃搜寻常数和干扰常数达到最大值,分别为0.6116、0.7535。当温度为33℃,寄主发育阶段为黑色期成虫时,蓝色长盾金小蜂对橡副珠蜡蚧有较强的控制能力,自身干扰作用最强。

[目的] 马铃薯甲虫是我国已公布的全国农业植物检疫性有害生物名单中的害虫,自新疆传入后对我国马铃薯产业造成了巨大的损失,研究蠋蝽成虫对马铃薯甲虫卵和低龄幼虫的捕食能力,可为利用天敌防治马铃薯甲虫提供理论依据。[方法] 采用室内饲养观察研究方法,并用Holling Ⅱ型圆盘方程对研究结果进行拟合,计算寻找效应。[结果] 蠋蝽成虫能够捕食马铃薯甲虫卵和低龄幼虫,且捕食功能反应均符合Holling Ⅱ型圆盘方程,蠋蝽成虫对马铃薯甲虫卵和低龄幼虫的功能反应方程分别为N_a=0.2862N/（1+0.0198N）和N_a=0.8400N/（1+0.0709N）;在一定范围内,蠋蝽成虫对马铃薯甲虫卵和低龄幼虫捕食量在理论上随密度的增加而增加,当马铃薯甲虫的卵和低龄幼虫的密度分别达到20粒和20头时,蠋蝽成虫的捕食量最高;蠋蝽成虫对马铃薯甲虫卵和幼虫的最大日捕食量是14粒和12头,瞬时攻击率是0.2862和0.8400;蠋蝽对马铃薯甲虫卵的控制能力（4.1299）小于对低龄幼虫的控制能力（9.9526）。[结论] 蠋蝽成虫对马铃薯甲虫卵和低龄幼虫有较好的捕食能力,但控制能力不同。     

三线钩蛾的生物学初步观察

三线钩蛾Pseudalbara parvula(Leech)是胡桃科和壳斗科树木的食叶害虫,核桃树受害很普遍。该虫1年发生2代,以蛹越冬。越冬代和第1代成虫于4月下旬和7月下旬开始羽化。文章报道其分布、寄主、生物学特性和天敌情况及防治方法。     

蜜粉源植物对天敌昆虫的作用及其在生物防治中的应用

寄生性和捕食性天敌昆虫成虫普遍存在通过取食蜜粉源植物补充营养的行为,这可不同程度地促进天敌昆虫性成熟、延长其寿命、提高其生殖力或寄生率,以及搜寻寄主效率和子代雌性比率,从而显著提高天敌昆虫在生物防治中的控害能力和效果。蜜粉源植物花的结构及植物对天敌昆虫产生的嗅觉、视觉信号和花蜜花粉对天敌昆虫产生的味觉信号又显著影响天敌昆虫选择蜜粉源植物的行为和结果。但是,蜜粉源植物也可成为害虫的补充营养植物,从而提高害虫的为害能力。因此,需深入研究不同蜜粉源植物对天敌昆虫及害虫的作用,趋利避害,才可能应用蜜粉源植物成功调控天敌与害虫的益害比,实现害虫的可持续控制。     

多寄主型寄生性天敌昆虫的寄主适应性及其影响因素

寄生性天敌昆虫对不同寄主资源的适应能力是其存活和繁殖的必要条件,它们的寄主选择行为则是其重要的适应结果。多寄主型寄生性天敌昆虫虽然对某种特定寄主资源的利用效率可能不如单寄主型寄生蜂,但却有利于拓展更宽的寄主范围,因此对环境的适应能力更强,更容易在自然界维持其种群的生存。统计结果也表明多寄主型天敌的生物防治效果往往比专食性天敌更高。有时生物防治成功的关键可能并不在于所利用的天敌种类的不同,而在于天敌的不同生物型或地理宗。总结了多寄主型寄生性天敌昆虫的寄主适应能力及其影响因素。寄生性天敌昆虫不仅因地理隔离产生种群分化,也可能因寄生不同的寄主产生种群内的分化,从而更加适应寄主的生活特性和栖境条件。寄主种类、寄主发育阶段、寄主大小、寄主营养、寄主免疫反应、寄主逃避反应、其它天敌的竞争、寄主共生或共栖生物的存在、寄主植物、天敌自身的学习能力及其共生微生物等多种因素对寄生性天敌昆虫的寄主适应性可产生影响。展望了多寄主型寄生性天敌昆虫对新寄主资源的拓展利用能力和适应性在生产上的可能应用前景和途径,以期为明确天敌与寄主间的互作关系,人工驯化寄生性天敌昆虫增强对靶标害虫的控制作用,合理利用天敌提高生物防治效率提供新的思路和理论支持。     

周期性重复高温对昆虫的生态学效应

在自然界,昆虫经常经历以几天为周期的重复高温。这种周期性重复高温对昆虫的影响主要有3种作用模式:周期性重复高温与对应恒温比较、昆虫的不同发育阶段经历不同的周期性重复高温和昆虫的一生经历不同的周期性重复高温。同恒温条件下的昆虫相比,重复高温作用后的昆虫生殖量降低、寿命延长。重复高温作用于昆虫不同生活史阶段导致的存活率不同,重复高温作用于昆虫的发育阶段越接近成虫,其生殖量越易受到影响。高温持续天数增多,昆虫存活率、生殖量降低;但一定范围内的高温天数有助于昆虫寿命的延长。重复高温对昆虫的影响程度还因植食性昆虫和天敌昆虫种类的不同而异。本文根据近年来的研究,结合相关的研究文献,从周期性重复高温的温度变化模式及这些温度模式对昆虫生态指标、内在机理等方面产生的影响进行了综述,并建议未来的研究将充分结合自然温度变化进行模拟,增强研究的实用性;扩大考察指标范围并建立考察指标间的联系,拓展研究对象。     

枣园桃蛀果蛾寄生蜂种类及其与寄主的关系

桃蛀果蛾(Carposina sasakii Matsumura)是我国十分重要的果实性害虫,其中枣受害最严重,因其幼虫在果实内蛀食危害、高度隐蔽性的生活而较难防治。寻找有效天敌,开展生物防治成为必然。2009年与2010年研究调查了我国大枣部分产区陕西、山西、河南与宁夏枣园桃蛀果蛾寄生性天敌,共发现了3种寄生蜂,即中华齿腿姬蜂(Pristomerus chinensis Ashmead)、章氏小甲腹茧蜂(Chelonus(Microchelonus)zhangi Zhang)和金小蜂(Pteromalidae),3种寄生蜂均从桃蛀果蛾的茧中羽化而出,其中中华齿腿姬蜂和章氏小甲腹茧蜂为优势天敌,但它们表现出十分明显的地域性分布。同时,对中华齿腿姬蜂和章氏小甲腹茧蜂羽化、寄生率以及与寄主之间的关系进行了初步研究,结果表明,中华齿腿姬蜂越冬代成虫出蛰活动始于6月中旬,越冬代寄生率较低,第1代成虫羽化在8月下旬至9月上旬,这代寄生蜂具有较高的寄生率,可达25%;章氏小甲腹茧蜂第1代成虫羽化集中在8月中下旬和9月上旬,由于在2009年与2010年对样地进行不施用杀虫剂的管理,该天敌在2010年自然寄生率显著提高,最高时可达64.52%。因此,科学管理,合理保护与利用当地天敌成为实现该害虫生物防治的关键。     

水稻生育期对稻水象甲成虫种群空间格局影响及抽样技术

[目的] 明确四川省西南浅丘稻区稻水象甲成虫种群在水稻不同生育期的空间格局及抽样技术，为获取准确稻水象甲虫情调查资料和制定有效的综合防控措施提供理论依据。[方法] 调整水稻播栽时间，错开2组试验田水稻的生育期，用聚集度指标法、回归模型法和频次卡方检验法分析稻水象甲成虫种群的空间格局及水稻生育期对空间聚集特性的影响，并对田间序贯抽样技术和抽样方法进行研究。[结果] 不同田块稻水象甲成虫平均密度为0.48~5.83头·丛^-1，分蘖期水稻田虫口密度显著高于抽穗期。稻水象甲成虫在不同水稻生育期稻田间呈负二项聚集分布，基本成分为个体群，个体间相互吸引，聚集强度随种群密度的升高而增加。当种群密度较低时，其聚集由环境因素引起；种群密度较高时，其聚集为其自身的聚集习性与环境因素共同引起。双对角线抽样法是稻水象甲成虫田间抽样的最佳方法，当稻水象甲成虫防治指标为1头·丛^-1时，Iwao序贯抽样模型为T_1（n），T_0（n）=n±1.96√2.286n，结合Kuno序贯抽样模型建立了用于田间抽样的复序贯抽样图。[结论] 稻水象甲成虫在不同水稻生育期稻田间呈负二项聚集分布，分蘖期水稻田虫口密度显著高于抽穗期，双对角线抽样法是稻水象甲成虫田间抽样的最佳方法。     

Interactions Between Entomopathogenic Fungi and Other Natural Enemies: Implications for Biological Control

Pathogens and arthropod natural enemies may contribute to the suppression of insect pest populations either as individual species or as species complexes. However, because natural enemies of insects have evolved and function in a multitrophic context it is important to assess interactions within complexes of natural enemies if they are to be exploited effectively in pest management. Natural enemies can interact either synergistically/additively (e.g. enhanced transmission and dispersal of insect pathogens) or antagonistically (e.g. parasitism/infection, predation and competition). In this paper, studies assessing the potential interactions between insect and fungal natural enemies are reviewed. In general, these studies indicate the positive nature of the interactions between arthropod natural enemies and fungal pathogens with respect to the control of insect populations. More work is required to investigate further the many ways in which the natural enemy community interacts in the agroecosystem     

Larger wildflower plantings increase natural enemy density,diversity, and biological control of sentinel prey,without increasing herbivore density

1. An important means of conserving beneficial insects in resource‐limited habitats is to meet their ecological requirements, which may be achieved by providing areas containing flowering plants that bloom throughout the season, but little is known about the importance of wildflower plot size for supporting natural enemies or the biological control they provide. 2. Wildflowers were established in plots of sizes ranging from 1 to 100 m², and found that natural enemy density, group richness, and diversity of natural enemy groups increased with plot size. 3. The density of insect herbivores was lower in all flower plots than in the control samples, whereas the diversity of herbivore groups was significantly higher in flower plots. 4. Comparing population growth of sentinel soybean aphids (Aphis glycines Matsumura) among plot sizes, aphid colonies were smaller as plot size increased. 5. Providing beneficial insects with flowering resources resulted in significantly more natural enemies and greater pest control than in smaller flower plots or mown grass areas. 6. These results indicate that the density, diversity, and function of natural enemies are sensitive to the size of wildflower plantings, even at relatively small scales. Therefore, larger wildflower plots are more suitable for the conservation of beneficial insects and their provision of natural pest control.     

Parasitoids follow herbivorous insects to a novel host plant,generalist predators less so

The ‘enemy‐free space’ hypothesis predicts that herbivorous insects can escape their natural enemies by switching to a novel host plant, with consequences for the evolution of host plant specialisation. However, if natural enemies follow herbivores to their novel host plants, enemy‐free space may only be temporary. We tested this by studying the colonisation of the introduced tree Eucalyptus grandis (Hill) Maiden (Myrtaceae) by insects in Brazil, where various species of herbivores have added eucalyptus to their host plant range, which consists of native myrtaceous species such as guava. Some herbivores, for example, Thyrinteina leucoceraea Ringe (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), cause outbreaks in eucalyptus plantations but not on guava, possibly because eucalyptus offers enemy‐free space. We sampled herbivores (mainly Lepidoptera species) and natural enemies on eucalyptus and guava and assessed parasitism of Lepidoptera larvae on both host plant species during ca. 2 years. Overall, predators were encountered more frequently on guava than on eucalyptus. In contrast, parasitoids were encountered equally and parasitism rates of Lepidoptera larvae were similar on both host plants. This indicates that herbivores may escape some enemies by moving to a novel host plant. However, this escape may be temporary and may vary with time. We argue that studying temporal and spatial patterns of enemy‐free space and the response of natural enemies to host use changes of their herbivorous prey is essential for understanding the role of natural enemies in the evolution of host plant use by herbivorous arthropods.

蔬菜害虫及其天敌昆虫群落多样性和相关性研究

在比较脆弱的菜田生态系统中,蔬菜害虫和天敌如果没有人为防治的干扰,天敌群落和害虫群落在结构上有动态的消长规律。江淮地区蔬菜害虫主要为菜缢管蚜(Brevicoryae brassicae)、瓜绢螟(Diaphania indica)、朱砂叶螨(Tetranychus cinnabarinus)及桃蚜(Myzus persicae)等;昆虫天敌主要为异色瓢虫(Harmonia axyndis)、广赤眼蜂(Trichogramma evanescens)及七星瓢虫(Coccinella septempunctata)等。8月下旬～9月下旬,菜田昆虫种类丰富、个体发生量大,多样性指数及均匀度指数较大。经典型相关分析,蔬菜害虫和天敌群落间典型相关系数达极显著水平,其中载荷较大的指标为多样性指数和均匀度,即两个群落结构间的相关,主要是多样性指数和均匀度的相关。     

Effects of two insect growth regulators and a neonicotinoid on various life stages of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aphytis melinus</Emphasis> (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)

The effect of two insect growth regulators and a neonicotinoid insecticide were tested on immature stages and adults of the parasitoid Aphtyis melinus DeBach (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), a key natural enemy of California red scale, Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), in California. No significant effects of the insect growth regulators on survival or development to the adult stage were found when the parasitoid was treated at any of the egg, larval, or pupal stages. The broad-spectrum neonicotinoid acetamiprid also showed no significant effect on the development of A. melinus to the pupal stage, probably because immature stages of this ectoparasitoid are protected under the cover of its armored scale host. However, 48 h exposure of adults to acetamiprid residues following emergence resulted in high levels of wasp mortality. Aphytis melinus adults treated with either of the two insect growth regulators as larvae survived 48 h exposure to pesticide residues as adults and showed levels of fecundity comparable with control insects. We conclude that the two insect growth regulators are compatible with augmentative releases of A. melinus but that treatments of acetamiprid should be avoided in situations where biological control by this parasitoid is important.     

信息化合物对昆虫行为的影响

本文综述了来自寄主植物的挥发性物质和同种昆虫或异种昆虫释放的各种信息素及两者的协同作用的信息化合物对昆虫行为的影响。特别强调了寄主植物的气味物质和昆虫信息素协同作用在昆虫寻找寄主、求偶、交配及天敌在寄主识别过程中的重要地位。昆虫对寄主植物的识别是由于识别了植物气味的由一定组分、按照严格比例组成的化学指纹图。昆虫信息素与植物挥发性物质相结合为昆虫寻找求偶、交配场所提供更复杂或更全面的信息。许多昆虫只有在寄主植物或寄主植物气味存在时 ,才能释放性或聚集信息素。天敌在寄主识别、搜索及定位等一系列过程中 ,来自寄主的食料、寄主本身及两者的互作的信息化合物起重要的作用。研究信息化合物对昆虫行为的影响可以探索昆虫各种行为的内在机理 ,更好的了解寄主—昆虫—天敌三层营养关系的相互作用 ,对利用天然活性化合物防治害虫及生物防治提供理论依据     

Climate warming affects biological invasions by shifting interactions of plants and herbivores

Plants and herbivorous insects can each be dramatically affected by temperature. Climate warming may impact plant invasion success directly but also indirectly through changes in their natural enemies. To date, however, there are no tests of how climate warming shifts the interactions among invasive plants and their natural enemies to affect invasion success. Field surveys covering the full latitudinal range of invasive Alternanthera philoxeroides in China showed that a beetle introduced for biocontrol was rare or absent at higher latitudes. In contrast, plant cover and mass increased with latitude. In a 2‐year field experiment near the northern limit of beetle distribution, we found the beetle sustained populations across years under elevated temperature, dramatically decreasing A. philoxeroides growth, but it failed to overwinter in ambient temperature. Together, these results suggest that warming will allow the natural enemy to expand its range, potentially benefiting biocontrol in regions that are currently too cold for the natural enemy. However, the invader may also expand its range further north in response to warming. In such cases where plants tolerate cold better than their natural enemies, the geographical gap between plant and herbivorous insect ranges may not disappear but will shift to higher latitudes, leading to a new zone of enemy release. Therefore, warming will not only affect plant invasions directly but also drive either enemy release or increase that will result in contrasting effects on invasive plants. The findings are also critical for future management of invasive species under climate change.     

两种蚜茧蜂及其寄主蚜虫对大豆植株挥发性次生物质的触角电位反应

研究了下列害虫和寄生天敌种类对大豆植株中提取的某些挥发性次生化合物及其不同组合混合相的触角电位反应： 1)豆蚜Aphis craccivora Koch和麦长管蚜Macrosiphum avenae (Fabricius);2)为害大豆植株的大豆蚜Aphis glycines Matsumura和不为害大豆植株的豆蚜二者所共有的寄生天敌豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂Lysiphlebus fabarum Marshall; 3)不为害大豆植株的麦长管蚜的寄生天敌燕麦蚜茧蜂Aphidius picipes Nees。结果表明,与大豆植株相关联的大豆蚜和不相关联的豆蚜所共有的天敌——豆柄瘤蚜茧蜂,对大豆植株的挥发性次生化合物及其混合相反应敏感,而与大豆植株不相关联的豆蚜、麦长管蚜及其寄生天敌——燕麦蚜茧蜂,对大豆植株的挥发性次生化合物及其混合相反应不敏感。再次证明,植物挥发性次生化合物在害虫及其寄生天敌搜寻寄主的过程中起到重要的作用。     

谈农林害虫的自然控制

人类的发展面临着许多问题,其中包括环境污染与害虫暴发失控等, 对策应是人类谋求与自然协调共存。人类必须学会既要和众多的非生命物又要和数千万种生物包括100多万种昆虫协调共存。天敌昆虫是大害虫的克星; 人类赖以生存的经济植物是由昆虫传播花粉的; 昆虫是人类的美味佳肴和医病良药; 有些昆虫是重要工业原料。所以人类要锐意合理利用昆虫资源。对于农林害虫要尽可能谋求自然控制; 提倡利用植物的抗害性、利用害虫的天敌、利用昆虫生长调节剂、种间信息物质、昆虫辐射不育技术控制害虫。尽量利用植物性杀虫剂控制害虫。尽量采用不杀伤或少杀伤天敌、不污染环境的化学杀虫剂或方法防治害虫。我国创造了很多行之有效的利用农业技术防治害虫的方法。
