白垩纪甲虫研究揭示其生物系统分类学的转变(鞘翅目:原鞘亚目)（英文）

文中首次报道了缅甸琥珀中的长扁甲Mallecupes qingqingae Jarzembowski, Wang and Zheng, 2017的阳茎化石,并讨论了该器官的古昆虫学和现生昆虫学意义。甲虫在现生生物中的多样性最高,而它们的生殖器则在甲虫系统分类中的应用已经超过百年历史。这些小而精美的器官通常很难保存在化石里,但文中特异保存在中生代琥珀中的生殖器则为原鞘亚目甲虫的分类学研究提供了新的启示。     

白垩纪缅甸琥珀中小型花蚤一新种(鞘翅目: 花蚤科) 及对花蚤科的分类学修订

根据产自缅甸北部白垩纪中期克钦琥珀中的一块小型花蚤化石标本,建立1新种——小多刺花蚤(Multispinus parvus sp. nov.),归于花蚤科(Mordellidae)。同时,对缅甸琥珀中已发现的花蚤和泛花蚤进行了重新观察和研究,重点分析了其形态学特征并认真考虑了相关分类学依据,将短尾花蚤科(Apotomouridae)修订为花蚤科之下的短尾花蚤亚科(Mordellidae:Apotomourinae)。短尾花蚤中普遍存在的臀锥完全不发育,不可作为区分于花蚤科的衍征。白垩纪中期琥珀中发现的花蚤化石类群体型均小,这也许与白垩纪中期生态环境和栖息地被子植物花朵形态有关。     

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。

内蒙古自治区上侏罗统最原始的蠼螋昆虫化石(昆虫纲:革翅目:始螋亚目)

我国上侏罗统牛津阶-基末利阶（163-150Ma)保存有完好的最原始的蠼螋昆虫化石,首次描述,分析和讨论了原始蠼螋后翅脉序特征,认为与现代生存的蠼螋后翅基本相同。因此,提出了与西方某些蠼螋昆虫分类学者不同的意见,认为始螋亚目（Aechidermaptera)应归入于革翅目（Dermaptera)之中,且视其为一个最原始的类群较为合理,内蒙古自治区这个原始类群的下列重要特征皆为首次发现;胸骨具有特殊的形态结构;革翅锁具（Tegmina locking device)和刺脊突（spiny crest)发育;前,中,后足跗节皆为5节;后足基节显著伸长;颈部被划分为前,后两个颈片;革翅后缘收缩变尖,上述5项被视为厚原始蠼螋特有的祖征,下列特征应为早期蠼螋共有的原始性状;虫体扁平,通常具毛;腹部侧缘彼此近平行;触角显长,丝状,多节（通常多于11节）;两只单眼发育;上颚具齿;中胸小盾片显大;革翅较长,通常具有明显的翅脉;股节具隆脊;爪和爪垫通常发育;腹部各节背板与腹板不重叠（两者位置非简单的上,下关系）;尾须柔软,多节,雌性产卵器鞘显著外伸,本文建立了始螋亚目1新科Sinopalaeo-dermatidae和2新属2新种Sinopalaeodermata neimonggolensis gen.et sp.nov,Jurassimedeola orientalis gen,et sp.nov。同时,对蠼螋昆虫的起源和演化重新进行了讨论,做出了与西方某些蠼螋昆虫研究者结论不同的推断。

模拟及实地条纹黄瓜甲虫脱叶作用对‘Carolina’黄瓜光合反应的影响(英文)

１９９５年作者进行了田间试验来比较模拟的条纹黄瓜甲虫 Ａｃａｌｙｍｍａ　Ｖｉｔｔａｔｕｍ（Ｆ）脱叶作用及实地Ａ．ｖｉｔｔａｔｕｍ脱叶作用对‘Ｃａｒｏｌｉｎａ’黄瓜光合反应的影响。在５个生长阶段（从第一片真叶到收获）中,共模拟了６种脱叶水平（０％一１００％）。在每一生长阶段,每点植株每周两次用剪子去叶,这一处理叫连续脱叶。除此之外,对同一生长阶段植株也用了一次性脱叶处理,但只有４种脱叶水平（０,２５,５０及１００％）。用Ａ．ｖｉｔｔａｔｕｍ成虫笼养试验来估计实地害虫脱叶危害。每笼中甲虫放置时间为两周,密度各为每株０,１,３,５及１０头,测定其净光合速率。在模拟及实地害虫脱叶处理之间,没有测到显著的光合速率差异（ Ｐ＞０． ０５）。在模拟害虫脱叶试验中,受损叶片和未受损叶片的光合速率也很少有显著差异。结果显示模拟害虫脱叶处理过程不仅能准确反映实地Ａ．ｖｉｔｔａｔｕｍ脱叶危害下的‘Ｃａｒｏｌｉｎａ’黄瓜的生长反应,而且也适用于确定Ａ．ｖｉｔｔａｔｕｍ对黄瓜的经济危害水平。     

A HIERARCHICAL ANALYSIS OF GENETIC DIFFERENTIATION IN A MONTANE LEAF BEETLE CHRYSOMELA AENEICOLLIS (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELIDAE)

Herbivorous insects that use the same host plants as larvae and adults can have a subdivided population structure that corresponds to the distribution of their hosts. Having a subdivided population structure favors local adaptation of subpopulations to small-scale environmental differences and it may promote their genetic divergence. In this paper, I present the results of a hierarchical study of population structure in a montane willow leaf beetle, Chrysomela aeneicollis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). This species spends its entire life associated with the larval host (Salix spp.), which occurs in patches along high-elevation streams and in montane bogs. I analyzed the genetic differentiation of C. aeneicollis populations along three drainages in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California at five enzyme loci: ak-1, idh-2, mpi-1, pgi-1, and pgm-1, using recent modifications of Wright's F-statistics. My results demonstrated significant differentiation (F_ST = 0.043) among drainages that are less than 40 kilometers apart. One locus, pgi-1, showed much greater differentiation than the other four (F_ST = 0.412), suggesting that it is under natural selection. C. aeneicollis populations were also subdivided within drainages, with significant differentiation 1) among patches of willows (spanning less than three kilometers) and 2) in some cases, among trees within a willow patch. My results demonstrate that this species has the capacity to adapt to local environmental variation at small spatial scales.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS RESPONSE OF ‘CAROLINA’ CUCUMBER TO SIMULATED AND ACTUAL STRIPED CUCUMBER BEETLE (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELI-DAE) DEFOLIATION*

Abstract Field studies were conducted in 1995 to compare the photosynthesis response between simulated striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (F.), defoliation and actual A. vittatum defoliation in ‘Carolina’ cucumber. Six simulated defoliation levels (0%–100%)were used over 5 timings of defoliation (first true leaf to harvest). Plots were defoliated with scissors twice each week throughout each timing interval, and defined as continuous defoliation. In addition to continuous defoliation, one-time simulated defoliation treatments were imposed using the same timing treatments but only 4 defoliation levels (0, 25, 50, and 100%). Two cage studies, with A. vittatum adults, were used to provide estimates of actual insect defoliation injury. Beetles were placed in cages for 2 weeks at densities of 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10/plant and net photosynthetic rates were measured. No significant differences (P <0. ⁰⁵ were detected in pho-tosynthetic rates between simulated and actual insect defoliation treatments. Also, few significant differences in photosynthetic rates were detected between damaged and undamaged leaves in the simulated insect defoliation study. Results indicated that the simulated insect defoliation procedure appeared to accurately reflect the growth response of ‘Carolina’ cucumber subjected to actual A. vittatum defoliation, and that simulated defoliation results should be appropriate for developing economic injury levels for A. vittatum on cucumber.
