粘虫飞行对生殖及寿命的影响

该文报道了粘虫Mythimna separata（Walker）成虫飞行后产卵、交配及寿命的研究结果。1日龄成虫飞行6 h、12 h、18 h、24 h后的产卵前期均显著短于对照的,其中飞行6 h、12 h的比对照的短2天以上,产卵量均比对照的高。对1～5日龄成虫分别飞行23.5 h后的研究结果表明,1日龄飞行的产卵前期和上述结果相一致。2～4日龄飞行的与对照的没有显著差异,但产卵量则随飞行日龄的延迟而逐渐减少。5日龄飞行的产卵前期显著延长,产卵量已不到对照的一半。所有经过飞行的成虫产卵高峰日比对照的早1天。不同日龄成虫飞行时间、距离与成虫产卵量的关系为：1～3日龄飞行时间、距离长的个体产卵量也高;但4～5日龄的成虫飞行时间与距离越长,其产卵量越少,表现出明显的卵子发生飞行拮抗症(oogenesis-flight syndrome)。除了5日龄飞行的成虫交配率有所下降以外,所有经过飞行的成虫产卵历期、交配率及寿命与对照的没有显著差异。最后,根据这些结果,对粘虫迁飞的起飞时期,迁飞在粘虫生殖、种群动态及成灾规律中的作用进行了讨论。     

一日龄粘虫不同时长吊飞对生殖及寿命的影响

【目的】本研究旨在阐明羽化后1日龄粘虫Mythimna separata(Walker)的飞行潜力以及飞行对成虫生殖和寿命的影响,从而进一步解析粘虫的迁飞行为特征。【方法】利用室内昆虫飞行磨计算机数据采集系统,研究了羽化后1日龄粘虫吊飞6、9和12 h的飞行能力差异,以及不同时长吊飞后粘虫的生殖参数和成虫寿命的变化情况。【结果】结果表明,1日龄雌雄蛾均具有一定的飞行能力,但当吊飞时间超过9 h之后,成虫的飞行时间、距离和速度均不再显著上升。除吊飞12 h成虫的飞行速度外,其它处理雌雄蛾的飞行能力之间无显著差异。羽化后1日龄不同时长吊飞对粘虫的生殖均有显著的促进作用,但随着吊飞时间的延长,这种促进作用显著降低。6、9和12 h吊飞处理均导致成虫产卵前期显著缩短,但仅吊飞6和9 h成虫的产卵量和产卵历期显著高于对照。吊飞12 h成虫的产卵量和产卵历期则显著低于吊飞6和9 h的成虫,并和对照差异不显著。吊飞12 h后,雌雄成虫寿命均显著缩短。【结论】羽化后1日龄飞行显著促进粘虫的生殖,但随着飞行时间的延长,飞行对生殖的促进效应显著减弱。     

粘虫(Leucania separata Walker)生殖的研究——Ⅰ. 成虫的一般特性

粘虫生殖腺在蛹期已经发育完成, 但雌蛾卵粒内卵黄尚未沉积, 需要取食糖类作为补充营养后, 才能发育成熟。羽化时雄蛾已具备成熟的精子。取食后能进行交配活动。 成虫寿命一般约15—20天, 羽化后即进行生殖活动。其中产卵期比较长。雌雄蛾均在夜间一定时间内进行飞翔、取食、交配、产卵等活动。在本试验中观察到粘虫一生最大产卵量接近2000粒, 孵化率超过90%以上。雌蛾经人为地与雌蛾完全隔离后, 能产下不受精卵, 产卵量稍低, 卵粒不孵化。 按照粘虫飞翔与生殖关系看来, 粘虫的飞翔活动在性成熟前表现异常激烈。粘虫的飞翔的特征是:(1)由于粘虫羽化后即进入性活动期, 雌蛾需要与雄蛾交配方能进行正常生殖活动, 雄蛾强烈地追逐雌蛾, 因而粘虫在性成熟时有剧烈的飞翔活动。(2)由于内在的生理周期节律的活动以及外激素或其他方法促使异性互相吸引, 所以雌雄蛾同时、同在一起飞翔, 在交配前或产卵前大规模飞翔。(3)由于粘虫各个虫期无滞育现象发生, 粘虫发育所要求温度变化幅度在5—35℃之间, 所以当粘虫在幼期遭受某些不利因子刺激后, 在成虫期往往引起特殊的反应, 促使成虫进行有利于生存的趋避活动, 发生迁飞现象, 以便达到粘虫为本身或后代选择适宜的生境区域。     

粘虫(Mythimna separata Walker)选择产卵场所的意义及颜色在定位中的作用

根据粘虫的产卵习性,在田间分别测定了置于活体寄主和干枯植物上的卵块被捕食的概率,结果表明,枯草上面的隐蔽卵块被捕食的概率最低,与雌蛾的产卵习性相符,说明粘虫产卵选择习性有其生物学意义,即有利于躲避天敌。同时,实验结果表明粘虫幼虫的抗饥饿能力要强于甜菜夜蛾,是其对成虫产卵场所长期适应的结果。室内成虫对不同植物的产卵选择与田间相一致,光谱测定结果也表明绿色植物与雌蛾喜欢产卵的植物秸秆的光谱特征和波峰存在显著差异。观测粘虫雌蛾对不同颜色纸张的产卵选择发现,其喜欢在黄褐色纸张上面产卵,产卵量和产卵次数明显高于绿色纸张,而三者的光谱特征存在显著差异。     

保幼激素类似物对粘虫飞行能力及能源物质含量的调控(英文)

本文报道了保幼激素类似物methoprene(JHM)对粘虫Mythimnaseparata(Walker)飞行能力及飞行能源物质含量的影响。总体而言 ,用JHM (30 μg/蛾 )处理过的成虫飞行能力比对照 (丙酮处理 )的弱 ,但因性别及处理后的时间变化而异 :处理雌蛾的飞行能力在处理后的 1d到 3d与对照没有显著差异 ,但在4d到 6d则显著低于对照 ;处理雄蛾的飞行能力一直比对照的强 ,尽管差异不显著。处理过的雌蛾飞行个体比对照的少 ,而处理过的雄蛾比对照的多。究其原因 ,主要是JHM处理过的雌蛾甘油酯含量在处理后的 3d后明显下降 ,而处理过的雄蛾甘油酯含量一直比对照的高。但无论是雌蛾还是雄蛾 ,处理的与对照的糖元含量均没有明显的差异。这些结果表明 ,作用于成虫体内甘油酯含量是保幼激素影响粘虫飞行能力的主要原因之一。最后 ,对保幼激素影响粘虫飞行能力的其它可能原因也进行了讨论     

一日龄饥饿对粘虫成虫卵巢发育和飞行能力的影响

为了明确羽化后0～24 h (1日龄)饥饿处理对迁飞型粘虫Mythimna separata (Walker)生殖系统和飞行系统发育的影响,对1日龄饥饿处理后粘虫的卵巢发育级别、产卵前期、飞行肌和飞行能力进行了系统研究。结果表明, 1日龄饥饿对粘虫成虫卵巢发育级别、产卵前期、中胸背纵肌干重、飞行能力等均有显著的影响。饥饿后成虫卵巢发育级别显著高于对照,产卵前期显著短于对照。成虫中胸背纵肌干重从饥饿后96 h开始下降,至120 h时饥饿粘虫(5.1 mg)显著低于对照(5.86 mg)。成虫飞行能力从饥饿后96 h开始显著低于对照,此时饥饿处理粘虫蛾的飞行距离平均为22.03 km,飞行时间平均为4.07 h,显著低于同时期的对照粘虫的飞行距离(42.3 km)和飞行时间(7.99 h),尽管在饥饿后72 h内差异不显著。实验结果显示,1日龄饥饿可以显著抑制粘虫飞行系统的发育,加速飞行向生殖的转变。     

粘虫幼虫密度对成虫飞行与生殖的影响

本文报道了不同幼虫密度下(1、10、20、30、40头/瓶-850m1)粘虫蛾飞行能力与产卵量的变化情况。对未取食1日龄成虫12h飞行能力的测定结果表明,不同幼虫密度羽化的成虫飞行力差异显著(P<0.05),其中以10头/瓶羽化的成虫飞行时间最长(平均225.4分),飞行距离最远(平均17.5km),飞行超过120min的个体为61.1%,超过10 km的为55%。其它处理的各项参数随幼虫密度的增加而下降。粘虫蛾的翅长、翅宽、翅面积和翅负荷随幼虫密度的增加而下降。除翊负荷外,其余各项参数在处理间的差异显著(P<0.05)。成虫飞行能力与蛹重或翅负荷不呈直线相关,但与蛹重具有一定的关系：当蛹重为300-400mg时, 强飞行个体均超过50%, 当小于300mg或大于400mg时,强飞行个体比例下降,当小于225mg时,强飞行个体为零。处理间的成虫产卵量差异显著(P<0.05),且随幼虫密度的增加而下降。密度内的蛹重与成虫产卵量的关系不明显,但密度间的蛹重与产卵量的关系高度相关(r=0.78,P<0.01)。这些结果表明,当粘虫幼虫密度达到一定的阈值时,便可能促使成虫迁飞,而不是等到种群密度很高时才进行迁飞。     

粘虫雌蛾求偶周期和性信息素含量变化规律

粘虫岭thimnaseParata是发生在中国和日本的一种季节性迁飞害虫,由于其远距离迁飞习性,往往造成暴发性的危害。由于粘虫性成熟在迁飞过程中完成,人们研究较多的是有关粘虫迁飞习性与性成熟的关系［”。Johnson提出了卵子发生与飞行综合症（oogenesis－flightsyndrome）假说,认为许多昆虫的迁飞发生在生殖前期,即成虫羽化后到产卵前这段时期‘”。在有关粘虫雌蛾求偶一交配一繁殖一产卵一系列生殖行为研究中,Han等采用了求偶前期（Pre－callingPeriod,PCP）指标,即成虫羽化到释放性信息素这段时间”’。因为当时没有确定粘虫性信…     

粘虫蛾飞行肌的发育：超微结构特征分析

应用电子显微镜对正常条件下饲养的0-16日龄粘虫Mythimna separata (Walker)雌蛾飞行肌超微结构的研究结果表明：肌原纤维直径。线粒体和横管的体积分量均随蛾龄的增加而增加,到7日龄达到最大值以后又随蛾龄的增加而下降;但是,肌节长度则随蛾龄的增加而缩短,到7日龄达到最短后又随蛾龄的增加而延长,从而使整条发育曲线呈“V”字形;肌原纤维和肌质网体积分量变化不大或无规律可寻;二位体在发育初期和未期的比例较高,而三位体在4和7口龄比例较高;肌丝排列从0～7日龄均是有序的,肌动蛋白丝(细丝)和肌球蛋白丝(粗丝)的数量比为3：1,粗丝的数量变化也不大,每根肌原纤维约有600根。但从10日龄开始肌丝排列出现紊乱,细丝全部消失,粗丝降解、数量减少了30%,从而使肌原纤维留下一片片的空白。根据这些结果,把7日龄前的飞行肌发育过程视为生长过程,而把10日龄后的视作降解过程。最后对粘虫蛾飞行肌与卵巢发育及其飞行能力变化的关系进行了讨论。     

饲养温度对粘虫飞行和生殖能力的影响

系统地报道了粘虫整个世代在４种温度（２４、２７、３０、３３℃）饲养条件下成虫飞行、产卵、交配及寿命等方面的结果。对１日龄（未取食）成虫２０ｈ飞行能力测定表明,不同饲养温度中羽化的成虫飞行能力差异显著（Ｐ＜０．０５）。其中以２７℃中羽化的粘虫蛾飞行距离最远（雌雄蛾分别平均为３１．０６、３０．８８ｋｍ）,飞行时间最长（雌雄蛾分别平均为７．８９、７．６８ｈ）,飞行超过３０ｋｍ个体为４２．４％,超过９ｈ为     

Ovipositional biology of Viburnum leaf beetle, Pyrrhalta viburni (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Pyrrhalta viburni Paykull, a new landscape pest in the United States, feeds in both the larval and adult stages on foliage of plants in the genus Viburnum. We measured lifetime oviposition capacity of mated and unmated females reared in the laboratory versus field-collected females, as well as ovipositional response to physical characteristics of the host plant. Both mated and unmated females produced eggs, but at different rates. Field-collected females and mated females reared in the laboratory laid similar numbers of egg masses containing similar numbers of eggs, but unmated females laid approximately one half as many eggs, the result primarily of smaller clutch size. Mated females reared in the laboratory had a preovipositional period of 11.4 +/- 1.7 versus 29 + 11.7 d for unmated females, and unmated females lived significantly longer than mated females. The angle and diameter of stems of V. trilobum, a very susceptible host, both greatly influenced oviposition; females laid most eggs on vertically oriented stems, and those of smallest diameter; when these factors were combined, stem diameter predominated. Females also had a very strong geotactic response, preferring to lay eggs on portions of stems toward gravity, even when stems were at fairly shallow angles.     

三化螟、二化螟及大螟成虫的飞翔能力

本文利用飞行磨(Flight mill)装置对三化螟Tryporysa in certulas(Walkr) 二化螟 Chilo suppressalis(Walker);及大螟Sesamia infirence(Walker)成虫的飞行能力进行了测试,结 果表明：三化螟与二化螟成虫的飞翔能力基本一致,其有效飞行日龄均为4天,成虫羽化后无明显的生殖前期(<1天),卵巢发育为II级时(1日龄)飞行能力最强。最远累计飞行距离可达32公里以上。雌雄虫具有不同的持续飞翔能力。大螟是这三种螟虫中飞翔能力最强的一种,具有极强的持续飞行能力,雌、雄虫可分别达32与50公里以上,大螟的有效飞行日龄一般为6天,且具有2-3天的生殖前期,卵巢发育为II级时飞翔能力最强,随日龄的增加,飞翔能力逐步下降,大螟成虫具有远距离扩散飞翔能力及一定的迁飞生理行为基础。     

Lifetime ovipositional patterns of mated and virgin onion flies,Delia antiqua (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)

Over their 47.2±1.9 (mean±SEM) day lifespan, mated onion flies, Delia antiqua, oviposited more uniformly than did virgins. Mated females began ovipositing at 6.4±0.2 days old and regularly deposited 14.2±0.6 eggs/day for 3-4 weeks. Thereafter, oviposition slowed and stopped at about 1 week before death. Virgin flies began ovipositing 24.7±1.5 days into their 59.0±3.8 day lifespan, and deposited eggs at an increasing rate for 3-4 weeks, generating a mean overall ovipositional rate of 5.8±0.5 eggs/day. The later onset of virgin oviposition (ovipositional activation) and not a shorter ovipositional period largely accounted for the disparity between virgin and mated female lifespans. Mean lifetime egg production of mated females was 475±27 eggs versus 179±30 eggs for virgins. Ovipositional and post-ovipositional periods (34.4±1.8 and 7.2±1.0 days) for mated females were not significantly different from those of virgin females (30.9±3.6 and 6.7±1.2 days). Over 90% of virgin females laid eggs. The distinction between mated and virgin ovipositional patterns may be specifically attributed to differences in: (1) egg maturation, (2) age at ovipositional activation, and (3) egg-laying rate.     

Studies on the oviposition and longevity ofIlione albiseta [Dipt.: Sciomyzidae] — Potential biological control agent of liver fluke

The effect of 5 constant temperatures (10, 14, 17, 20 and 23°C) on the oviposition and longevity ofIlione albiseta was investigated. Most eggs were laid at 14–17°C and mean oviposition period declined progressively above and below 14°C. There was no significant difference between oviposition rates or preoviposition periods at each constant temperature, but the mean number of days between egg laying for each female was significantly greater at 10 °C than at 17, 20 and 23 °C than at 20 °C. The percentage of infertile eggs laid ranged from 9.2% at 23 °C to 17.9 % at 20 °C and these eggs tended to be laid at the beginning and end of each oviposition period. A possible association between sex ratio of the emergent adult and temperature is also discussed.      

Effects of egg availability and egg maturity on the ovipositional activity of the parasitic wasp, Coccophagus atratus

ABSTRACT. Effects of egg availability on daily ovipositional activity were determined for Coccophagus atratus Compere (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae). Females were observed for 6 h per day for their entire adult lives. Observed ovipositional activity was analysed in relation to egg maturation before and after emergence, egg depletion during oviposition and egg replenishment after oviposition. Ovipositional activity, including oviposition, inconsequential probes and searching for hosts, occurred predominantly in the first 30 min of exposure to hosts on the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 10th and 13th days after emergence. The remaining time was spent on non-ovipositional activities (preening, drinking honeydew and sitting on the glass of the experimental arena). Peaks of ovipositional activity were associated with high numbers of mature eggs in the ovaries. Eggs that remained in the ovaries after a bout of oviposition were apparently not mature even though they had attained their maximum size. Non-ovipositional activity continued until females had built up a reserve of about eighteen mature eggs. After each successive bout of oviposition, the rate of oogenesis slowed down. Consequently females took longer to accumulate a supply of eggs and periods of non-ovipositional activity increased.
We conclude that (1) the availability of eggs and the tendency of females to store mature eggs influences ovipositional activity, (2) full-sized eggs are not necessarily mature, (3) future experiments with C.atratus could be restricted to days of high ovipositional activity, and (4) the terms syn- and pro-ovigenic formulated by Flanders (1950) to describe apparent differences in oogenesis between various parasitic Hymenoptera do not apply to C. atratus and are therefore not universally applicable.

Potential of using mineral oils for the control of the mosquito bugs Helopeltis theivora (Hemiptera: Miridae) in cashew plantations

This study investigated the influence of an nC24 mineral oil (MO) on some biological characteristics of a mosquito bug, Helopeltis theivora, reared on cashew under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Aqueous emulsions of the oil were applied as sprays to eggs at four daily intervals after oviposition to assess impacts on egg hatch, and to cashew seedlings to assess adult longevity and female fecundity reared on the plants. Field applications were also carried out to assess the impacts of sprays on populations of the bug in a cashew orchard. The results of the laboratory study indicated that 1% (v/v) of the MO application reduced egg hatch when applied to eggs on cashew seedlings, in separate treatments, 1, 2, 3, and 4 days after oviposition (DAO). Egg mortality showed a negative linear correlation with egg maturity (DAO). The pre-oviposition period of adult females placed on sprayed cashew seedling, after deposits of 1% (v/v) sprays dried, was significantly prolonged. The longevity of males and females on dry oil-spray deposits was lower than on seedlings sprayed with water. The fecundity of females was also lower. Field sprays significantly reduced populations of the bug on mature cashew trees. Mixtures of MO and abamectin were more effective than oil alone. The results of the study indicate that mineral oils can be used to suppress populations of H. theivora in cashew plantations.     

Simultaneous monitoring of flight and oviposition of individual velvetbean caterpillar moths

ABSTRACT. A 'pivot' flight actograph was combined with a rolling oviposition surface to characterize the flight and oviposition behaviour of velvetbean caterpillar moths, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner. Tethered, caged control females laid significantly more eggs that those flown on the actograph. Mated females laid more eggs than unmated ones. However, mating did not affect longevity nor fight frequency and duration. Laboratory-reared and wild-type females also did not differ signficantly in longevity and flight. Both laboratory and wild mated females laid most of their eggs during the first 7 days whereas unmated ones delayed their oviposition. None of the female types produced a definite hourly, daily or lifetime pattern in flight frequency or duration. Of the 7672 recorded flights, about 3% were greater than 0.5 h. 'Long' flights (>0.5h) were made by some females before oviposition, as in colonization migration, but most interspersed flight with oviposition, as in extended search migration.
