利用甘蔗饲养红棕象甲的技术

介绍一种以甘蔗为饲料饲养红棕象甲Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Fab.的方法。将新鲜甘蔗切成段,置于培养皿中,放入恒温培养箱内,设置温度:(26±1)℃,RH:80%±10%,光周期:L∶D=0∶24。利用该方法饲养的红棕象甲世代历期130.80d,老熟幼虫平均体重5.51g,成虫单雌产卵量144.42粒,世代存活率21.67%。甘蔗饲养红棕象甲成本低,生物学特性恒定,可作为替代寄主扩繁虫源。     

红棕象甲室内生物学特性及形态观察

在室内对红棕象甲Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Fab.生物学特性和形态进行系统观察。结果表明在26℃、RH80%、寄主食料华盛顿棕榈饲养条件下,红棕象甲世代历期平均114.77d,最短87.00d、最长166.00d,其中卵期平均3.50d,幼虫期平均36.68d,结茧到产卵前历期平均29.96d。幼虫以8龄为主,1~2龄幼虫的体重小于0.01g,头壳宽短于1.0mm,3龄后幼虫体重、头壳宽度、体长和体宽开始增加,8龄时幼虫平均体重为3.36g,头壳宽度6.0mm。成虫雌雄性比1.78∶1,补充营养能显著延长成虫寿命,在无补充营养时,雌雄成虫寿命只有7.00d左右,而在补充营养后,雌雄成虫寿命最长可分别达130.00d和244.00d。雌虫产卵量最大376粒,最小89粒,平均216粒。     

室内饲养红棕象甲的行为观察

报道红棕象甲Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Fab.成虫交配、产卵行为,描述在交配和产卵过程中发生的多种行为。红棕象甲整日均可见其交配行为,但在暗光周期开始0.5h左右明显有一个交配高峰期。其交配持续时间、交配几率不受虫体大小的影响。在无外界因子干扰的条件下,交配持续时间均可达1min。红棕象甲卵为单产,一处1粒,主要是通过口喙蛀孔辅助完成;观察红棕象甲幼虫、蛹的行为,例如取食、争斗、蜕皮、做茧等行为。且随着低龄幼虫向高龄幼虫的过渡,幼虫的取食和钻蛀行为从棕榈植物中心向外围扩散。通过摇动或震动茧后红棕象甲在其中表现的行为,并结合茧的颜色和质地可准确判断茧中存在的3种虫态。     

诱捕条件对红棕象甲聚集信息素田间效果的影响

红棕象甲Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Oliver是世界著名的严重危害棕榈植物的毁灭性入侵害虫,现已传入我国长江以南广大地区,对我国棕榈植物的安全生产造成严重威胁。本文比较了聚集信息素来源、诱捕器设置高度、颜色和类型对红棕象甲成虫诱捕效果的影响。结果表明:2种不同来源的红棕象甲聚集信息素诱捕效果无显著差异;诱捕器置于地面诱捕效果最好;红色和黑色诱捕器的诱虫量显著优于白色和黄色诱捕器;诱捕器类型对诱虫量无显著影响。本研究结果可为红棕象甲聚集信息素的监测技术提供指导。     

Biochemical characterisation of digestive α-amylase of Red Palm Weevil,Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

The Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Oliver) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a serious pest of a wide range of plant species including coconut, sago, date and oil palms. The α-amylases are the hydrolytic enzymes that are involved in carbohydrate metabolism in insects. So far nothing is done to demonstrate α-amylase activity of R. ferrugineus. Thus, the aim of the current study was to identify and characterise the α-amylase activity to gain a better understanding of digestive physiology of the insect. Thus, the α-amylase in the gut of red palm weevil was isolated and characterised using starch as a substrate. The study showed that the α-amylase is present in the gut of the insect for carbohydrate digestion. The α-amylase has an optimum pH and temperature of 5 and 40°C. The activity of α-amylase was increased by NaCl and KCl and inhibited by other compounds such as MgCl₂, CaCl₂, urea, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and sodium dodecylsulfate. Native-PAGE electrophoresis of α-amylase showed two isoenzymes, one major and one minor band showing α-amylase importance in the carbohydrate metabolism of the insect. Understanding of the digestive physiology and α-amylase activity of Red Palm Weevil is important when new management strategies for this economically important pest are devised.     

红棕象甲发育起点温度及有效积温的测定

在室内恒温条件下,观察了不同温度对棕榈红棕象甲Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Fabricius生长发育的影响,并用直线回归法测得产卵前期、卵、幼虫、蛹和全世代的发育起点温度分别为(16.11±1.44)、(14.10±0.56)、(15.28±0.21)、(14.89±0.24)和(14.15±0.54)℃;有效积温分别为(31.86±1.65)、(748.60±15.79)、(417.94±20.80)和(1215.50±28.56)日·度。红棕象甲的各虫态和全世代发育历期随温度的升高而缩短,在测定的温度范围内,全世代发育历期与温度的关系符合指数函数:y=3343e-0.1279x。     

Identification and enzymatic characterisation of digestive glucosidases from gut of red palm weevil,Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a serious pest of date worldwide. Thus, damage to palms (almost exclusively to Phoenix canariensis Hort) has been recorded in various places. Thus, the aim of the current study was to investigate two major digestive enzymes of this insect, α-D-glucosidase and β-D-glucosidase. The results showed that α-D-glucosidase and β-D-glucosidase are present in the insect gut mainly in the midgut and hindgut but trace amounts of the both enzymes were found in the foregut. Optimum temperature for α- and β-glucosidases was found to be 50 and 40?°C, respectively, and pH values were 4.0. The activity of glucosidases were increased by NaCl and KCl and inhibited by some compounds such as MgCl₂ and CaCl₂. Kinetic parameters showed that K _m of α and β-D-glucosidases was 3.15 and 4.11?mM, respectively. Therefore, it is concluded that in this insect species, both α-glucosidase and β-glucosidase are active but with different amounts. Understanding of the digestive physiology and glucosidase activity of red palm weevil is important when new management strategies based on interfering in the gut physiology of the insects are devised.

The culturable bacterial community of frass produced by larvae of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the Canary island date palm

Aims: Larvae of the red palm weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) feed inside palm stem tissues, making galleries and producing a wet fermenting frass. We characterized the culturable bacteria associated with frass produced by tunnelling larvae inside the Canary island date palms and investigated the role of frass and gut bacteria in plant polymers breakdown. Methods and Results: A culture‐dependent method was used to isolate bacteria from frass and noninfested palm tissues. Bacterial isolates were grouped into operational taxonomic units based on polymorphisms in the ITS‐PCR profiles, and representative isolates were identified by partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. Frass bacteria were dominated by 2,3‐butanediol fermenter Enterobacteriaceae. None of the bacterial isolates was able to degrade cellulose; however, cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic bacteria were isolated from the larval gut enrichment cultures. Conclusions: Frass bacteria are specifically associated with the RPW larvae and might play beneficial roles for RPW, other than nutritional, that deserve further investigations. Breakdown of plant polymers probably occurs inside the larvae digestive system. Significance and Impact of the Study: Frass and gut micro‐organisms of R. ferrugineus should be included in studies of the interactions between RPW, its plant hosts, and its enemies.     

Seasonality and host utilization of the invasive fruit fly, Bactrocera invadens (Dipt., Tephritidae) in central Tanzania

Abstract:  The temporal occurrence of the invasive and economically important pest fruit fly, Bactrocera invadens was studied in three agro-ecological areas of Morogoro Region, central Tanzania, during 2004–2005. Weekly and monthly trappings were carried out with methyl eugenol, protein bait and synthetic food attractant. Bactrocera invadens was permanently present at low and mid-altitudes (380–520 m a.s.l.) with peak periods coinciding with the fruiting season of mango ( Mangifera indica ) and guava ( Psidium guajava ). At high altitude (1650 m a.s.l.) its incidence was only temporal and apparently the result of dispersal from lower altitudes after the mango fruiting season. Rearing results showed mango, loquat ( Eriobotrya japonica ), guava and grapefruit ( Citrus  ×  paradisi ) to be the favoured commercial host fruits. Other Citrus species, cucurbits, papaya ( Carica papaya ) and avocado ( Persea americana ) were less favoured.     

上海地区红棕象甲的耐寒性研究

红棕象甲Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier)是我国危害棕榈科植物的重要入侵害虫, 为探明其越冬抗寒性, 利用过冷却点测定仪测定了红棕象甲上海种群不同虫态的过冷却点, 在低温箱内测定了该虫不同虫态的耐寒性, 然后结合田间越冬模拟试验、气象资料和寄主分布情况, 初步确定了红棕象甲在我国的越冬北界。结果表明： 红棕象甲过冷却点随虫态的发育程度的升高而下降, 卵、1龄幼虫、5龄幼虫、9龄幼虫和成虫的平均过冷却点分别为-5.92, -6.42, -7.19, -7.43和-11.84℃, 过冷却点由高到低的顺序依次为: 卵>幼虫>成虫。在6, 24, 48和72 h 4个时间处理下, 各虫态在低温与存活率之间呈显著或极显著的logistic回归, 半致死温度（Ltemp₅₀）均随处理时间的延长而上升, 不同虫态在处理72 h 后, 卵、1龄幼虫、5龄幼虫、9龄幼虫和成虫之间的Ltemp₅₀分别为1.61, -1.67, -2.39, -2.40和-0.40℃, 各虫态耐寒性由弱到强的顺序依次为: 卵<成虫<幼虫。红棕象甲不同发育阶段的过冷却点与其耐寒性并不完全相关, 幼虫和成虫均可能是该虫的越冬虫态。连续两年的田间模拟越冬试验表明, 在上海地区, 红棕象甲的幼虫和成虫的越冬存活率均在60％以上, 说明红棕象甲在上海地区是可以越冬的。根据这些结果, 结合寄主分布情况, 初步将红棕象甲在我国的越冬北界定于北纬35°附近, 即1月份0℃等温线左右。
