基于线粒体基因组数据的扁甲系总科间系统发育关系分析

扁甲系是鞘翅目多食亚目中最大的一个类群,具有重要的经济意义.尽管扁甲系昆虫的单系性得到广泛支持,但7个总科间的系统进化关系仍存在不确定性.为此,本研究测定了锈赤扁谷盗和锯谷盗的线粒体基因组,并联合已测的67个扁甲系昆虫线粒体基因组,构建了扁甲系昆虫总科间的系统发育关系,并采用似然值检验对不同的树拓扑结构进行了评价.结果表明,锈赤扁谷盗全线粒体基因组的大小为15497 bp,编码13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因和2个核糖体RNA基因.锯谷盗接近全长的线粒体基因长为13588 bp,编码34个基因,缺少trnI, trnQ和trnM等3个转运RNA基因.锈赤扁谷盗和锯谷盗线粒体基因的基因含量、基因排序、碱基组成、密码子使用等特征,与大多数已测鞘翅目昆虫的线粒体基因组高度相似.基于3个线粒体基因数据集及3种树构建方法的系统发育分析结果表明,瓢虫总科、叶甲总科、象甲总科、拟步甲总科和郭公虫总科等5个类群均为单系性,而扁甲总科始终为并系.树拓扑结构检验结果表明,扁甲系总科间的系统发育关系为((郭公虫总科+瓢虫总科)+(拟步甲总科+(扁甲总科(叶甲总科+象甲总科)))).尽管线粒体数据集的构成及系统发育分析方法对树拓扑结构具有重要影响,但线粒体基因组数据在扁甲系昆虫系统与进化研究方面具有重要应用价值.

为了摸清粤港澳大湾区的昆虫多样性的现状,自2020年以来对大湾区各地多个森林公园、湿地公园以及保护区进行布点监测。在整理2021年与2022年采集自广州海珠国家湿地公园的马氏网鞘翅目标本的过程中,本研究发现了7个中国新记录种,分别为拳甲科的Acalyptomerus asiaticus Lawrence, 1979、谷盗科的Ancyrona haroldi Reitter, 1877、拟花萤科的Dromanthomorphus mirabilis(Pic, 1907)、出尾扁甲科的Europs sp.、锯谷盗科的Silvanopsis raffrayi Grouvelle, 1892、穴甲科的Triboderus sp.和窄须伪瓢虫科的Bystodes flavoapicalis Sasaji, 1990,其中Acalyptomerus、Dromanthomorphus、Europs和Triboderus为新记录属。     

种间竞争对四种储粮害虫种群动态的影响

在30 ℃、75 %相对湿度条件下研究种间竞争对玉米象(Sitophilus zeamais)、谷蠹(Rhizopertha domini-ca)、赤拟谷盗(Triboliumcastaneum)和锈赤扁谷盗(Cryptolestes ferrugineus)4种主要储粮害虫种群动态的影响,并对种群动态进行回归分析。结果表明,玉米象与谷蠹、赤拟谷盗与锈赤扁谷盗混合饲养种群增长均受到显著抑制,玉米象和谷蠹对赤拟谷盗和锈赤扁谷盗的种群增长具有明显的促进作用,赤拟谷盗和锈赤扁谷盗对玉米象和谷蠹的种群增长具有一定的抑制作用。回归分析结果表明玉米象种群最大增长潜能最大,锈赤扁谷盗最小,种群增长率变化规律不明显。     

定虫隆对锈赤扁谷盗生长发育影响及其作用机理初探

定虫隆是一种昆虫生长调节抑制剂,研究其对锈赤扁谷盗的控制作用,将为锈赤扁谷盗的综合防治提供理论基础。本研究以锈赤扁谷盗幼虫为研究对象,用定虫隆拌粮进行饲喂,观察定虫隆对锈赤扁谷盗的亚致死效应,并利用实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)技术,测定经定虫隆处理后锈赤扁谷盗幼虫几丁质合成酶1(CfCHS1)和几丁质合成酶2(CfCHS2)基因表达量的变化。结果表明:定虫隆对锈赤扁谷盗的毒力回归方程为y=7.514+1.81x(r=0.974),LD 10、LD 20、LD 30分别为0.008 mg/kg、0.014 mg/kg、0.021 mg/kg,亚致死剂量定虫隆可使锈赤扁谷盗幼虫发育历期明显延长(P<0.05),体重和几丁质含量明显降低(P<0.05),这说明了定虫隆对锈赤扁谷盗的生长发育有明显的抑制作用,可以有效控制锈赤扁谷盗的为害。qPCR结果显示,与对照组相比,LD 30处理后的锈赤扁谷盗幼虫的CfCHS 1基因表达量提高了74.7%,CfCHS 2基因的表达量提高了27.4%,均差异显著(P<0.05)。CfCHS 1和CfCHS2基因表达量的上调,可能是几丁质合成酶受到了抑制,锈赤扁谷盗为了维持机体的稳定,提高几丁质合成酶基因的表达量,从而形成一种代偿性增加的反馈机制,由此推测定虫隆可能作用于几丁质合成酶。     

两种防护剂和磷化氢联用对储粮书虱和锈赤扁谷盗的实仓防治效果

储粮书虱Liposcelis spp.和锈赤扁谷盗Cryptolestes ferrugineus(Stephens)由于对磷化氢具有较高的抗性而成为目前粮食储藏过程最难防治的两类害虫,研究储粮防护剂和磷化氢联用对储粮书虱和锈赤扁谷盗的防治效果,对于缓解其对磷化氢的抗性以及其在实仓中综合防治具有重要的经济意义。本文用55%甲基嘧啶磷乳油和2%溴氰·甲嘧磷粉剂分别和磷化氢联用对广东、广西、安徽和河南4个不同气候条件的粮库中的书虱和锈赤扁谷盗进行防治效果的研究。结果表明,在磷化氢熏蒸粮食之前用55%甲基嘧啶磷乳油或2%溴氰·甲嘧磷粉剂处理粮面表层的粮食,在4个粮库的试验粮仓内书虱和锈赤扁谷盗的防治效果有显著差异:在北方干燥少雨的河南汤阴库防治效果最好,可达100%,其次是安徽舒城库、广西柳州库,防治效果分别为71.8%和71.9%。效果最差的是高温高湿的是广东湛江库,防治效果为50.4%。用55%甲基嘧啶磷乳油或2%溴氰·甲嘧磷粉剂和磷化氢联用对书虱和锈赤扁谷盗具有很好的防治效果,说明储粮防护剂和磷化氢联用对于储粮书虱和锈赤扁谷盗具有更好的防治效果。     

我国储藏品中三种扁谷盗的鉴别

<正> 扁谷盗属Cryptolestes Ganglb.包括了几种重要的储藏品害虫,其中的三个种锈赤扁谷盗Cryptolestes ferrugieus(Stephens)、长角扁谷盗C.pusillus Schonherr和土耳其扁谷盗C.turci-cus(Grouville)在我国已有可靠的记录,在塘沽口岸进口粮中也时常截获。 我国出版的几部关于仓库害虫的著作中,这三个种的分类地位及名称不统一。陈耀溪(1963)在《仓库害虫》(修订本)一书中将这三个种均置于Laemophloeus属中,并称Laemophloeusferrugineus(Stephens)为小赤扁谷盗;L.turci-

植物精油对锈赤扁谷盗成虫熏蒸毒杀作用研究

为明确适用于防治锈赤扁谷盗的植物精油种类及其用量,本试验采用拌粮密闭熏蒸法,比较23种植物精油对锈赤扁谷盗成虫熏蒸毒杀活性差异,从中筛选出作用效果较好的精油种类进行熏蒸毒力测定。通过二次筛选结果表明,大蒜与芥末精油对锈赤扁谷盗成虫具有明显的熏蒸毒杀作用。进一步的毒力测试结果表明,在24 h、48 h、72 h处理时间下,大蒜精油对锈赤扁谷盗成虫的LC_(50)值分别为0.7827、0.7222、0.6478μL/L,而芥末精油在相同处理时间条件下的LC_(50)值分别为2.7581、2.6117及2.4619μL/L,大蒜精油对锈赤扁谷盗具有更强的熏蒸毒杀活性。     

中生代鞘翅目扁甲总科化石的研究进展

扁甲总科隶属于鞘翅目多食亚目扁甲系,目前包含25个现生科和3个化石科,其中10个科仅分布于南半球,特别是澳大利亚、新西兰和南美。当前的分子系统发育学研究显示扁甲总科的起源时间为晚三叠世至早侏罗世,而冈瓦纳古陆与劳亚古陆的分离也发生在早侏罗世约1.8亿年前。因此对中生代扁甲总科化石的研究是解释扁甲总科如今分布格局的重要基础,也有助于研究扁甲总科的演化历史。本文简要回顾了现生扁甲总科的研究历史,并对其中生代的化石研究进行了概述,迄今在中生代地层发现有12科54种扁甲总科化石。     

植物精油对土耳其扁谷盗的驱避和熏蒸活性研究

本文研究了34种植物精油对土耳其扁谷盗成虫的驱避和熏蒸毒杀活性。结果表明,肉桂精油对土耳其扁谷盗成虫具有良好的驱避活性,24-48 h内,75%的个体选择了未添加植物精油的小麦;72 h后选择对照组的土耳其扁谷盗成虫降至63.33%,但仍有显著的驱避活性。孜然、松油和黑胡椒精油则对土耳其扁谷盗成虫表现出良好的引诱活性。在34种供试植物精油中,大蒜和芥末精油对土耳其扁谷盗成虫表现出强烈的熏蒸毒杀作用。当植物精油体积分浓度为10μL/L时,这两种植物精油在48 h内对供试害虫的校正死亡率保持在98%以上。进一步的毒力测试结果表明,在24 h、48 h及72 h处理时间下,大蒜精油对土耳其扁谷盗成虫的LC_(50)值分别为0.61、0.59及0.49μL/L,而芥末精油在相同处理时间条件下的LC_(50)值分别为4.35、4.28及4.16μL/L,大蒜精油对土耳其扁谷盗具有更强的熏蒸毒杀活性。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
