The effect of chilling time on the termination of pupal diapause was studied in the Cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae L., Lepidoptera: Arctiidae. Chilling followed by a temperature of 20°C was effective in terminating diapause. Chilling for 120 days immediately after pupation yielded the highest percentage emergence and resulted in the shortest total pupal development time (162 days). A more natural treatment, a warm period before cold treatment, did not result in a higher percentage of emergence or in a shorter total pupal development time.During hibernation this species experiences two successive processes: diapause development during the first three to four months of cold, followed by a period of quiescence. Application of high temperatures in this latter period immediately starts morphogenesis. The impact of a relative humidity of 70% during the pupal stage for complete wing unfolding is demonstrated. The underlying mechanism of diapause is discussed.
Résumé L'effet sur la levée de la diapause de différents régimes de température infligés aux chrysalides est étudié chez Tyria jacobaeae L. (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae). Une mise au froid suivie de hautes températures lève efficacement la diapause. Un refroidissement pendant 120 jours immédiatement après la nymphose entraîne le plus grand pourcentage d'éclosions et la durée totale du développement des chrysalides la plus courte (162.3 j). Un traitement plus naturel, une période chaude avant la période froide, n'entraîne pas un plus grand pourcentage d'éclosions ni une durée plus courte de développement.Il est proposé que durant l'hibernation cette espèce passe par deux processus successifs: un diapause durant les premiers trois ou quatre mois de froid, suivie d'une période de quiescence. Le transfert à des hautes températures pendant cette derpériode déclanche immédiatement la morphogénèse. L'influence d'un taux élevé d'humidité relative durant le stade chrysalide sur le déploiement complet des ailes est démontré. Le méchanisme de diapause sous-jacent est discuté.

ABSTRACT. This study tested the effect of diet and phase of the feeding cycle on oxygen consumption by fifth-instar larvae of the cinnabar moth Tyria jacobaeae (L.) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae). There was no significant variation in respiratory rates among larvae fed different diets, which were floral parts, upper, middle and lower leaves of the host plant tansy ragwort, Senecio jacobaea. The respiratory rates ( x ± 95% Cl μlO2h-1) of feeding larvae (279.5 ± 30.9) were higher than those of larvae at rest (179.7 ± 12.2), but were not significantly different from those of larvae in the post-ingestive phase (272.8 ± 35.8).
The respiratory rates of feeding larvae increased linearly with the ingestion rate, such that an additional 21.1 μl O2 were consumed for every mg dry mass of plant material eaten per hour.  相似文献

In a laboratory experiment using full-sibs, 60% of the variation in pupal weight of the monophage Tyria jacobaeae L. (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae) could be explained by variation in the nitrogen concentration of the food plant, Senecio jacobaea L. and only 4% by variation in sugar concentration. Larval weight and growth rates of young and old larvae were also positively correlated with nitrogen and sugar concentration. Developmental time was negatively correlated with nitrogen concentration. In a second experiment full-sib families differed significantly in larval weight at day 7, mortality, growth rate and developmental time. Pupal weight did not differ significantly among families, but was positively correlated with nitrogen concentration of Senecio. Larval performance was not significantly influenced by concentrations of sugars or alkaloids. We conclude that larval performance of Tyria during most of the larval period is mainly determined by genetic factors, but pupal weights are primarily determined by nitrogen concentration of the food plant.  相似文献

Pleistophora finisterrensis n. sp. is a microsporidian parasite of the hypoaxial musculature of the blue whiting Micromesistius poutassou (Risso). Foci of infection are between 3 and 6 mm in length and have no evident effects on adjacent muscle fibres. We found only a single type of spore (uninucleate, with mean dimensions of 4×2 µm in fresh preparations), contained within sporophorous vesicles (mean diameter 19 µm in fresh preparations; 150–250 spores per vesicle). All of the development stages of this microsporidian are monokaryotic. The meronts are initially uninucleate and bounded by a plasmalemma. Towards the end of merogony, meronts are multinucleate plasmodia with a well-defined surface coat. Sporogony is polysporous, with multinucleate sporonts, which likewise have a well-defined surface coat (about 130 nm thick), dividing by plasmotomy to give rise to uninucleate sporoblasts. The polar tube is isofilar and consists of 8–9 turns in the posterior half of spore. The polaroplast is made up of an anterior lamellar part and a posterior vesicular part.  相似文献

Nosema parkeri sp. n. is described from nymphs and adults of the argasid tick, Ornithodoros parkeri Cooley, from a laboratory colony. Schizogonic and sporogonic stages are described from various tick tissues. Spores are binucleate, measuring 3.2 (3-4) x 1.9 (1.8-2.5) micronm. Transmission is transovarial and transstadial. The parasite does not appear to affect adversely the development or reproduction of the tick. Dermacentor andersoni Stiles was experimentally infected. Attempts to infect Swiss mice by tick feeding or by injection of infected tick suspensions were unsuccessful. The microsporidan differs in structure from Encephalitozoon ixodis Weiser) and Nosema slovaca Weiser & Rehácek, the only other microsporidans known from ticks.  相似文献

The effects of sublethal doses of deltamethrin and propoxur, applied topically at LD10, LD30 and LD50 on German cockroaches, were studied by reciprocal crossing. Male and female longevities decreased curvilinearly with increasing sublethal doses of deltamethrin, and decreased linearly with increasing sublethal doses of propoxur. Fecundity of females treated with deltamethrin and propoxur was reduced with increasing sublethal doses of both insecticides. Oothecal production, oothecal hatchability and nymphal production also declined with increasing doses of deltamethrin and propoxur. Preoviposition and incubation periods were not affected by sublethal doses of deltamethrin and propoxur, although some significant differences were observed at certain oothecal numbers. Two-way analysis of variance indicated that only treated females showed an effect on oothecal production while oothecal hatch and nymphal production were governed by both treated females and males. Insecticide susceptibility tests on the progeny of parents treated with sublethal doses demonstrated that these doses did not increase insecticidal tolerance in the F1 generation.  相似文献

A microsporidan parasite, Ormieresia carcini gen. n., sp. n., was found in the crab, Carcinus mediterraneus Czerniavsky. Its development and fine structure are the subject are the subject of the present study. The life cycle begins with a schizont surrounded by a unit membrane and containing a diplokaryon. The entire process of sporogony takes place in the host musculature. The sporogonic stages are enclosed in the pansporoblastic membrane. In each pansporoblast, sporogony gives rise to 8 sporoblasts; the octonucleate sporogonial plasmodium is lacking. In the course of schizogonic and sporogonic divisions, each kinetic center consists of 2 plaques, one located within and the other outside the nuclear envelope. The dividing sporonts and sporoblasts sevrets "metabolic" substances (granules, tubules) which are depostied in the pansporoblast. The uninucleate spore is long and cylindrical, measuring 19.1 X 2.4 micronm. A rectilinear manubrium traverses the spore. Its posterior end attenuates abruptly into a polar filament with 4 or 5 coils; its anterior end is attached to the polar cap, which is compressed by a double polar ring. The anterior part of the manubrium is surrounded by a polaroplast consisting of a "spongy" (vesicular) and a lamellar zone.  相似文献

Summary We hypothesize that the tritrophic interaction between ants, the aphid Aphis jacobaeae, the moth Tyria jacobaeae, and the plant Senecio jacobaea can explain the genetic variation observed in pyrrolizidine alkaloid concentration in natural populations of S. jacobaea. The ant Lasius niger effectively defends S. jacobaea plants infested with A. jacobaeae against larvae of T. jacobaeae. S. jacobaea plants with A. jacobaeae which are defended by ants escape regular defoliation by T. jacobaeae. Plants with aphids and ants have a lower pyrrolizidine alkaloid concentration than plants without aphids and ants. When these data are fitted to an existing theoretical model for temporal variation in fitness it is shown that varying herbivore pressure by T. jacobaeae in interaction with ants defending aphid-infested plants with a low pyrrolizidine alkaloid concentration can lead to a stable polymorphism in pyrrolizidine alkaloid concentration. Costs of the production and maintenance of pyrrolizidine alkaloids are not accounted for in the model.Publication of the Meijendel-comité, new series no. 114  相似文献

The authors describe and illustrate three different species of microphallid trematodes parasitic in the intestine of an American willet Catoptrophorus semipalmatus (Aves). Testiculoporus cedarkeyensis n. g., n. sp. has morphological characters related to Odhneria and Pseudospelotrema, along with a genital pore drawn back to the level of the sinistral testis. Two species of Odhneria (minuta Ke, 1979 and papilloprocera Ke, 1980), which appear aberrant because of the atypical posterior position of their genital pore, are transferred to the new genus. Endocotyle bushi n. sp. differs from the two other species in the genus by the disposition of the posterior uterine loops, the extension of the vitellarium, egg size and geographical distribution. The evaginated cirrus of Odhneria odhneri is described.  相似文献
