烟蚜茧蜂滞育诱导的温光周期反应

烟蚜茧蜂Aphidius gifuensis Ashmead是可持续防控蚜虫的优良内寄生蜂,在害虫生防中具有重要作用,研究其滞育对探索发育调控机制、延长产品货架期、提高防治效果意义重大。本文采用梯度变温法和光周期反应曲线法,系统研究了温度和光周期对烟蚜茧蜂滞育诱导的影响,研究结果表明:烟蚜茧蜂以老熟幼虫滞育,滞育类型属冬滞育型。低温、短光照是诱导烟蚜茧蜂滞育的主要环境因子,二者相互配合能诱导更多个体滞育。短光照(L∶D=8∶16)条件下,温度低于12℃可诱导烟蚜茧蜂进入滞育,8℃时滞育率可达54.35%。长光照(L∶D=14∶10)下,高温不能诱导烟蚜茧蜂滞育,低温下的滞育率较低,仅为1.79%。低温(10℃)下,短光照(8 h)可诱导50.70%的高滞育率,光照为14 h和6 h其滞育率均显著下降。25℃时,不同光照下滞育率均为0,光周期作用不显著。综合而言,温度和光周期均能显著影响烟蚜茧蜂的滞育,温度较光周期的滞育诱导效能更显著,二者互作配合能极显著的诱导烟蚜茧蜂进入滞育态。     

小蜂滞育的研究进展

滞育现象在多种小蜂类天敌昆虫中存在,通过研究小蜂滞育技术,可实现蜂种的长期贮存、延长防控作用时间、提高产品的抗逆性,对小蜂工厂化生产及应用具有重要意义。本文在分析国内外小蜂总科昆虫滞育文献的基础上,总结了已开展滞育研究的69种小蜂类昆虫的滞育虫态、滞育持续期、主要诱导因子以及亲代效应等,分属小蜂科、赤眼蜂科、姬小蜂科、跳小蜂科、金小蜂科、蚜小蜂科、旋小蜂、长尾小蜂科、广肩小蜂、四节小蜂科10科。小蜂多以幼虫或预蛹滞育,其滞育敏感阶段因种不同而异。滞育持续期相对较长,大多可维持数月。一种寄生麦红吸浆虫的金小蜂Macroglenes penetrans在2.5℃的土壤中,其滞育持续期可达16个月。低温、短日照和寄主是影响多数小蜂滞育的主要因子;但也有少数小蜂进行夏滞育,如普金姬小蜂Chrysocharis pubicornis、Aphelinus flavus、车轴草广肩小蜂Bruchophagus platypterus等。另外,亲代也可对小蜂滞育产生一定影响。目前,对小蜂滞育后发育生物学评价的研究报道较少,尚待进一步探索研究。     

滞育烟蚜茧蜂的亲代效应评价

【目的】烟蚜茧蜂Aphidius gifuensis Ashmead是可持续防控蚜虫的优良内寄生蜂,适宜的低温短光照可诱导其进入滞育,滞育后产品货架期长达120 d,对害虫生防意义重大。为深入探索滞育烟蚜茧蜂的亲代效应,分析滞育机理,提高滞育诱导效率,指导该天敌产品的贮存实践,开展本项研究。【方法】在室内测试了滞育烟蚜茧蜂F1代的羽化率、性比、成蜂寿命、滞育率、寄生力以及F2代的羽化率、性比等生物学指标,综合评价滞育烟蚜茧蜂的亲代效应。【结果】滞育经历对烟蚜茧蜂子代的部分生物学性状具有显著性影响,F1代雌蜂比例显著增加,滞育维持30 d后子代雌蜂比例由0.59上升至0.65;F2代雌蜂比例与CK无差别,维持在0.58左右;F1代滞育率显著升高,可由对照的44.75%提高至74.01%,滞育维持30 d后子代滞育率具升高趋势;F1代寄生力略增加,各处理形成的僵蚜数在117~129头间,但无显著性差异;F1代羽化率、子代成蜂寿命与CK相比无差异。【结论】烟蚜茧蜂具有较显著的滞育亲代效应,亲代滞育经历可显著提高子一代的滞育率,利于子代抵御不良环境胁迫,提高种群存活率。     

茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂滞育蛹与非滞育蛹体内主要生化物质浓度比较

本研究旨在明确茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂Lysiphlebus testaceipes滞育蛹与非滞育蛹体内生化物质浓度和保护酶活性的差异,为进一步探索茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂滞育调控的分子机制提供依据。通过控制温光环境获得茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂滞育蛹和非滞育蛹,并对滞育蛹设置不同滞育处理时间（滞育时间为30 d、45 d、60 d和75 d）,最终共设置4个滞育处理与1个非滞育处理,分别测定蛹体内主要糖类、醇和蛋白等生化物质的浓度以及过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和超氧化物岐化酶（SOD）3种保护酶的活性,并完成对比研究。总糖、海藻糖、甘油、总蛋白浓度在滞育蛹与非滞育蛹中存在显著差异,而糖原与山梨醇则没有明显差异。在滞育过程中POD,CAT和SOD活性随着滞育时间的延长,逐渐增强,当滞育时间达到60 d时,酶活性最高。茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂蛹由非滞育进入滞育状态过程中,通过调节自身生理代谢使其体内糖类、醇等有机物浓度升高,蛋白质浓度下降,保护酶活性明显增强,从而显著提高其抗低温的能力,以有效应对不利的环境条件。     

松毛虫赤眼蜂滞育诱导及解除条件研究

【目的】以柞蚕Antheraea pernyi卵为繁殖寄主,对松毛虫赤眼蜂Trichogramma dendrolim滞育诱导及解除条件进行研究,以解决赤眼蜂工厂化生产和大面积应用中面临的的中、长期储存问题。【方法】通过观测不同发育阶段(寄生柞蚕卵在26℃培养40、96和144 h)、滞育诱导温度(10、13和16℃)和诱导时间对松毛虫赤眼蜂滞育的影响,确定松毛虫赤眼蜂滞育诱导条件;通过观测滞育诱导温度和滞育后的贮藏温度对滞育解除的影响,确定松毛虫赤眼蜂滞育解除条件。【结果】在松毛虫赤眼蜂的不同发育阶段对其进行持续的低温刺激均能使其导入滞育,但以小幼阶段(26℃培养40 h)开始效果最佳,寄生卵在26℃培养40 h后,转入10℃和13℃下连续诱导31 d,滞育率可达100%和99.12%。滞育诱导温度和滞育后的贮藏温度对松毛虫赤眼蜂解除滞育所需时间和解除滞育后的羽化出蜂率有较大影响,10℃诱导滞育后置于1℃冷藏的赤眼蜂解除滞育所需时间最短,解除滞育后的羽化出蜂率和单卵出蜂数更高,更耐储存。此条件下冷藏约30 d开始打破滞育,在正常发育下温度下羽化出蜂,60 d羽化出蜂率达到95.24%,冷藏4个月后羽化出蜂率仍在60%以上,单卵出蜂数高于50头。【结论】松毛虫赤眼蜂最佳滞育诱导条件为26℃培养40 h后,转入10℃连续低温诱导31 d;最佳滞育解除条件为1℃低温储存,但储存期不能超过4个月。     

温度和光周期对管侧沟茧蜂滞育诱导及滞育茧的低温冷藏

【目的】为明确诱导管侧沟茧蜂Microplitis tuberculifer 滞育的主要因子,在田间和室内研究了不同温度和光周期下管侧沟茧蜂的滞育率和滞育茧的最佳冷藏温度。【方法】田间实验分别从8月31日到9月25日每隔5 d在室外罩笼内释放管侧沟茧蜂寄生的粘虫幼虫,待寄生蜂结茧后统计子代蜂的滞育率。室内实验共设5个不同温度（16℃, 18℃, 20℃, 22℃和24℃）和7个不同光周期（6L:18D, 8L:16D, 10L:14D, 12L:12D, 14L:10D, 16L:8D和18L:6D）,分别统计寄生蜂在各个处理条件下的滞育率。【结果】在河北中部地区秋季自然条件下,8月底当日平均气温为24.4℃,日平均光照时间为12 h 51 min 时,少数蛹（5.08%）开始进入滞育;9月25日,当日平均气温为17.2℃,日平均光照时间为11 h 36 min以下时,几乎所有蛹个体进入滞育,滞育率达到99.70%。在室内人工控制条件下,当温度为22℃以上,无论光周期如何变化,管侧沟茧蜂不能进入滞育,所结茧全部为非滞育茧。温度为22℃以下存在光周期反应,在温度16℃, 18℃和20℃,光周期10L:14D时形成滞育茧数量最多,滞育率分别为100%, 89.75% 和 29.58%。可见温度和光周期二者共同影响管侧沟茧蜂的滞育。滞育茧在0℃左右条件下冷藏 240 d 和5℃左右环境条件下冷藏180 d, 成虫的羽化率和寄生能力与发育茧差异不显著(P>0.05);0℃条件下冷藏300 d,滞育茧仍有79%可以正常羽化。【结论】该寄生蜂在秋季进入滞育主要是低温条件和短光照反应相互作用的结果,滞育茧在0℃和5℃温度下至少可以保存240 d。这些结果对管侧沟茧蜂的大规模繁殖和滞育茧的保存具有重要参考价值。     

中红侧沟茧蜂滞育诱导和滞育茧的冷藏

中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator (Haliday)是夜蛾科害虫低龄幼虫的重要寄生蜂。田间实验表明,在冀中地区秋季田间条件下,当日平均气温为21.5℃、日平均光照时间为12 h 33 min时,少数个体进入滞育;当气温降至17.9℃以下、日光照时间缩短到11 h 45 min以下时,全部个体进入滞育。室内模拟实验结果表明,在17～26℃、光照时间10～14 h范围内,随着温度的降低和光照时间的缩短,滞育率明显提高。高温能抵消短光照对滞育诱导的影响,在26℃下,短光照不能诱导滞育。因此,低温和短光照是诱导该种天敌昆虫滞育的主要因子。中红侧沟茧蜂感受滞育信号的敏感期为低龄幼虫期,以预蛹（茧）进入滞育。低龄幼虫感受滞育信号以后,需要在滞育环境中发育到老熟幼虫才能全部进入滞育。将室内诱导的滞育茧在4℃左右环境条件下冷藏240天,成蜂的羽化率和寄生能力与没有冷藏的非滞育茧差异不显著;冷藏300天,滞育茧仍有81.4%可以正常羽化。本项研究结果为中红侧沟茧蜂的规模化、标准化生产提供了科学的依据。     

生物因子对寄生蜂滞育的影响

在影响寄生蜂滞育的生物因子中,寄主及亲代是主要影响因子。寄主可以从种类、类型、生理状态及丰富度等方面影响寄生蜂的滞育:寄生不同种类的寄主,寄生蜂的滞育反应、滞育进度、滞育比例以及光周期反应表现等均有不同;寄主类型的影响在蚜茧蜂类群中表现最为突出,不同寄主类型能对蚜茧蜂的滞育诱导产生不同影响;此外,寄主生理状态和寄主丰富度也是影响寄生蜂滞育的重要因子。亲代对寄生蜂滞育的影响则通过其所经历的环境条件以及自身因素等方面来表现:亲代经历的光周期和温度等能显著影响子代的滞育,甚至起完全决定作用;在亲代自身因素的影响中,亲代虫龄差异是主要因素。本文同时对寄生蜂滞育的研究及应用前景也一并作了展望。     

茶足柄瘤蚜茧蜂滞育和非滞育蛹中与能量代谢相关的差异表达蛋白

凹唇壁蜂滞育后阶段过冷却能力及生化物质动态变化

【目的】凹唇壁蜂Osmia excavata Alfken是我国北方果树的主要授粉昆虫,发挥着重要的传粉增产生态服务功能。掌握其滞育后阶段抗寒性特点,并从生理生化水平上探讨耐寒机制,对于凹唇壁蜂的保护与利用具有重要意义。【方法】本文系统测定了滞育后阶段及出茧后凹唇壁蜂雌蜂、雄蜂的过冷却点、冰点,自由水、脂肪、蛋白质、海藻糖含量,过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、乙酰胆碱酯酶(AchE)的活性。【结果】凹唇壁蜂雌蜂、雄蜂的抗寒性差异不大,滞育后阶段过冷却点和冰点在出茧前逐渐升高、出茧后降低。其中,出茧日凹唇壁蜂雌蜂、雄蜂的过冷却点、冰点最高(抗寒性最低),分别为﹣12.35℃、﹣9.98℃和﹣12.63℃、﹣8.91℃。在滞育后阶段雄蜂脂肪含量显著高于雌蜂,雌蜂的蛋白质含量显著高于雄蜂,出茧后雄蜂的脂肪含量均迅速下降,雌蜂的蛋白含量迅速下降。出茧前,雄蜂的超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶、乙酰胆碱酯酶酶活性高于雌蜂;出茧后,雌蜂的酶活显著升高。在滞育后阶段,凹唇壁蜂雌蜂、雄蜂体内的海藻糖均呈显著降低趋势,出茧日雌蜂的海藻糖含量比茧后190 d下降了64.5%。【结论】滞育后阶段凹唇壁蜂有较强的抗寒性。在出茧前抗寒性逐渐降低,出茧后抗寒性升高。海藻糖代谢可能是凹唇壁蜂滞育后阶段能量消耗的重要途径。雄蜂的个体较小,但是有比雌蜂功能更强的抗氧化系统。     

A novel trade-off of insect diapause affecting a sequestered chemical defense

Diapause allows insects to temporally avoid conditions that are unfavorable for development and reproduction. However, diapause may incur a cost in the form of reduced metabolic energy reserves, reduced potential fecundity, and missed reproductive opportunities. This study investigated a hitherto ignored consequence of diapause: trade-offs involving sequestered chemical defense. We examined the aristolochic acid defenses of diapausing and non-diapausing pipevine swallowtail butterflies, Battus philenor. Pipevine swallowtail larvae acquire these chemical defenses from their host plants. Butterflies that emerge following pupal diapause have significantly less fat, a female fitness correlate, compared to those that do not diapause. However, butterflies emerging from diapaused pupae are more chemically defended compared to those that have not undergone diapause. Furthermore, non-diapausing butterflies are confronted with older, lower quality host plants on which to oviposit. Thus, a trade-off exists where butterflies may have greater energy reserves at the cost of less chemical defense and sub-optimal food resources for their larvae, or have substantially less energetic reserves with the benefit of greater chemical defense and plentiful larval food resources.     

Physiological and biological patterns of a highland and a coastal population of the European cherry fruit fly during diapause

Adult emergence of univoltine temperate insect species and its synchronization with specific host phenological stages is mainly regulated by obligatory pupal diapause. Although a few studies have investigated the factors affecting diapause intensity, little attention has been paid to the physiological alterations and metabolic regulation that take place during diapause. Here, we describe differences in diapause between a highland and a coastal Greek population of the European cherry fruit fly Rhagoletis cerasi, a major pest of sweet and sour cherries in many European countries. Pupae of both populations were exposed to the environmental conditions prevailing in the two areas and diapause termination was observed under laboratory conditions. The regulation of energetic metabolites during the long pupae stage was examined under both field and laboratory conditions. Differences in diapause intensity revealed that the two populations have adapted to the local geographical and climatic conditions and have different requirements for low temperatures to terminate diapause. The coastal population undergoes a shorter diapause and adults emerge more rapidly, especially in the highland area. The highland population failed to terminate diapause (<40% adult emergence) in the coastal area. Both populations draw on their major energetic reserves (lipids and protein) similarly during diapause. Nevertheless, regulation of carbohydrate and glycogen reserves seems to vary between the populations: major peaks of these stored nutrients occur on different dates in the two populations, suggesting a differential regulation. Differences in diapause intensity imply a genetic differentiation between the two populations. The importance of our findings in understanding the physiological patterns during obligatory diapause of a univoltine insect species, as well as the practical implications for the development of specific phenological models for the European cherry fruit fly are discussed.

Host range of braconid species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) that attack Asphondyliini (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Japan

We reared six idiobiont braconids, Bracon asphondyliae, B. sunosei, B. tamabae, Simplicibracon curticaudis, Testudobracon longicaudis and T. pleuralis from 22 identified species and 11 unidentified segregates of Asphondyliini (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Japan. A total of 22 cecidomyiid species and segregates were newly recorded as hosts of the braconids. Analysis of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) did not show any evidence of host races among the braconids. Bracon sunosei, which was synonymized with B. asphondyliae, is restored to a valid species. The host range of the braconid species seemed to be related to the lineage of host genera within Asphondyliini.     

大猿叶虫龙南种群的生物学特性

系统研究大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly江西龙南(24°9′N,114°8′E)种群生物学特性。结果显示,该虫仅在春季和秋季发生为害,以成虫在土中越冬和越夏。由于成虫滞育期的差异,该虫显示出生活史多样性,有些个体隔年繁殖;有些个体是一化性,仅在春季或秋季繁殖1代;有些个体是二化性,在春季和秋季各繁殖1代;有些个体是多化性的,春季1代,秋季2~3代,因此,在田间1年可发生1~4代。春季,滞育成虫于2月中旬至4月初陆续出土繁殖,羽化的成虫于4月上旬至5月中旬陆续入土越夏;秋季,滞育成虫于8月中旬至10月中旬陆续出土,羽化的成虫于9月中旬至12月中旬陆续入土越冬。成虫一生能多次交配,在25℃下,春季世代雌虫产卵期为8~29d,平均产卵量为776粒;秋季世代雌虫产卵期为9~39d,平均产卵量为1003粒。各虫态的发育历期:在18~28℃间,卵为8.66~3.85d,幼虫为19.37~7.92d,蛹为8.57~3.41d。卵、幼虫和蛹的发育起点温度分别为10.5、11.5和11.9℃。滞育成虫的寿命为5~28个月。

Termination of pupal diapause in the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa

Diapause development is a complex process involving several eco‐physiological phases. Understanding these phases, especially diapause termination, is vital for interpreting the life history of many insect species and for developing suitable predictive models of population dynamics. The pine processionary moth is a major defoliator of pine and a vertebrate health hazard in the Mediterranean region. This species can display either univoltine or semivoltine development, with a pupal diapause extending from a few months to several years, respectively. Although the ecological and applied importance of diapause is acknowledged, its physiological regulation in either case remains obscure. In the present study, we characterize pre‐termination, termination and post‐termination phases of pupae developing as univoltine or remaining in prolonged diapause. Changes in metabolic activity are monitored continuously using thermocouples, comprising a novel method based on direct calorimetry, and periodically by use of O₂ respirometry. The two methods clearly detect diapause termination in both types of pupae before any visible morphological or behavioural changes can be observed. Univoltine individuals are characterized by an increase in metabolic activity from pre‐termination through to termination and post‐termination, ultimately resulting in emergence. Remarkably, a synchronous termination is observed in individuals that enter prolonged diapause instead of emerging; however, in these pupae, the increased metabolic activity is only transient. The present study represents a starting point toward understanding the eco‐physiology of diapause development processes in the pupae of the pine processionary moth.
