植食性昆虫的学习行为

学习是指因经历不同而导致的行为变化。在植食性昆虫中,学习主要包含习惯性反应、厌恶性学习、联系性学习、敏感性反应和嗜好性诱导等类型。昆虫在幼虫和成虫期都具有学习能力,但幼虫期食料和取食经历不会对成虫行为产生直接影响。昆虫学习行为的表现受其本身食性、寄主刺激物的类别及寄主植物时空分布动态等因子的影响。学习能力有助于植食性昆虫应对复杂多变的植物环境,提高对寄主植物的利用效率,有利于其生存繁衍。对害虫学习行为的了解可为栖境调控、行为调控等害虫治理方法提供重要     

植食性昆虫的寄主选择机理及行为调控策略

害虫是影响农作物生产的重要因素,过度使用化学农药已带来严重的“3R”问题。为了长期有效地控制害虫的危害,基于植食性昆虫寄主选择机制的行为调控策略已成为害虫治理研究的重要方向。天然植物资源（如驱避植物、诱集植物与诱集枝把）、物理模拟材料（如诱集色、驱避色与诱集模型）和人工合成物质（如引诱剂、驱避剂、刺激剂与抑制剂）等研发工作皆取得了突破性的进展。除单一措施的使用外,多种诱集措施协同利用的“诱集＋诱集”策略、诱集措施与趋避措施结合使用的“排斥-诱集”策略也已被广泛应用。     

作物多样性种植对植食性昆虫行为的影响

通过农作物遗传多样性、物种多样性的优化布局和种植,增加农田的物种多样性和农田生态系统的稳定性,有效地减轻作物虫害的危害,已经成为国际上农业研究的热点和农业害虫防治的发展趋势。多样性种植对昆虫的影响及其作用机制很大程度上取决于对植食性昆虫的行为反应。多样性种植主要通过干扰植食性昆虫的定向、交配、产卵、转移等行为,影响其在作物上定居和繁殖,进而影响其对植物的危害程度。根据国内外研究进展,本文介绍了作物多样性种植对植食性昆虫行为的影响,并讨论了目前存在的问题和研究前景。     

诠释植食性昆虫是怎样选择食料植物的

昆虫对食料植物的选择,是各种昆虫行为最为明显的表现,和人类的农林生产有密切的关系。在蝗虫、甲虫等昆虫种类中,幼虫和成虫常取食相同的植物,但鳞翅目、双翅目等昆虫的幼虫的食料植物与成虫的不同,常在成虫产卵时决定幼虫取食的植物。昆虫对植物的选择依靠感觉器官的功能,而植物除合有昆虫所需的营养成分外,还合有种类特异性的代谢次生物质,它们对昆虫产生感觉刺激,是昆虫对植物进行选择的主要因素。有些昆虫在选择植物时嗅觉、味觉、触觉起着比较严格的限制作用,称为寡食性或单食性的种类。另一些昆虫虽然感觉作用也很灵敏,但适应的范围较广,能取食多种植物,称为多食性昆虫。以飞蝗、棉铃虫与烟青虫为例,介绍了昆虫的感觉器官和神经系统在选择食料植物时所起的作用。

植食性昆虫取食行为过程及机制研究

昆虫取食行为包括定向、趋性、辨认、取食等一系列的活动,涉及复杂的行为生理过程,如视觉、嗅觉、味觉感受及神经调控等。昆虫取食行为不仅受外界物理环境因素、寄主植物化学成份影响,而且跟昆虫自身生理状态紧密相关。本文综述了昆虫取食过程、寄主定位的感受机制、神经肽调节机制、影响取食的理化因素、环境因素等方面的研究进展,旨在为深入研究昆虫与环境关系、开发害虫取食行为调控新技术提供参考。     

虫害诱导植物挥发物(HIPVs)对植食性昆虫的行为调控

虫害诱导植物挥发物(herbivore induced plant volatiles,HIPVs)具有植物种类、品种、生育期和部位的特异性,也具有植食性昆虫种类、虫龄、为害程度、为害方式和其他一些环境因子的特异性。由于其释放量明显大于健康植株,因此更易被天敌、害虫以及邻近的植物等所利用,从而调节植物、植食性昆虫与天敌三者之间的相互作用关系,增强植物在自然界的生存竞争能力。本文对HIPVs在植食性昆虫寄主定位行为中的作用、HIPVs对植食性昆虫的种群调控功能及其应用现状2个方面加以综述,并在展望中对目前研究中存在的一些问题进行了探讨。     

植物光活化毒素与植食性昆虫的相互作用

在大自然中,没有一种植物能逃脱昆虫的为害,但也没有一种昆虫可在所有植物上取食生存。很明显,现存的每一种植物都不同程度的具有抵抗绝大多数植食性昆虫为害的机制,否则,它就会在生存竞争中被淘汰。而各种昆虫为求得生存,就得适应植物抵抗机制的各种变化[1]。1植物光活化霉素对植食性昆虫的防御Thomas[2]指出植物在受到植食性昆虫的进攻时,并不是束手无策,在长期的进化过程中,它们已发展了多种方式予以回击,例如,当害虫变得味口越来越大时,植物就会发展毒素来毒杀它们;当害虫发展其解毒酶系时,植物也会发展其它的防御策略,…

我国农业害虫综合防治研究现状与展望

害虫综合防治作为农业生产的一项重要策略,在农业可持续发展中具有举足轻重的作用。近年来,针对我国害虫防治所存在的技术需求,科技部等部门先后通过973计划、863计划、科技支撑计划和农业行业专项等对重要害虫防治研究立项支持。通过这些项目的实施,我国建成了一支由国家和省级科研单位和大学组成的专业科研队伍和研究平台,对害虫监测预警技术、基于生物多样性保护利用的生态调控技术、害虫生物防治技术、化学防治技术、抗虫转基因作物利用技术等方面的研究取得了一系列的重要进展,研究建立了棉花、水稻、玉米、小麦和蔬菜等作物重要害虫的综合防治技术体系,并在农业生产中发挥了重要作用。以基因工程和信息技术为代表的第二次农业技术革命的到来,推动了害虫综合防治的理论发展,为害虫综合防治技术的广泛应用提供了新的机遇。地理信息系统、全球定位系统等信息技术和计算机网络技术的应用,提高了对害虫种群监测和预警的能力和水平,转基因抗虫作物的商业化种植等技术的应用显著增强了对害虫种群的区域性调控效率。针对产业结构调整和全球气候变化所带来的害虫新问题,进一步发展IPM新理论与新技术将成为我国农业昆虫学研究的重要方向之一。     

Intergrated pest management in Swiss apple orchards: Stability and risks

In recent years, a system of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been introduced in many Swiss apple orchards. It is based on monitoring pests and natural enemies, on a package of selective pesticides and on biological control of phytophagous mites by typhlodromids. Some natural control has also been introduced for aphids and leafrollers. Stability of this approach is offered by natural control and by monitoring. Risks exist in two fields: Selective pesticides may disappear due to resistance and to other undesirable side effects. Outbreaks of secondary pests occur and will continue to do so in the future. In the past few years populations of scale insects and of Grapholita prunivorana (Rag.) have built up to damaging levels in some regions.     

Interaction between juniper Juniperus communis L. and its fruit pest insects: Pest abundance, fruit characteristics and seed viability

The relationships between the fruit features of Juniperus communis and the presence of fruit pests were studied in Sierra Nevada, SE Spain. The abundance of two insect species — a pulp-sucking scale and a seed-predator wasp — was surveyed with respect both to fruit characteristics and to viability of seeds contained therein. Seed-predator pressure was not significantly related to any fruit characteristics; however, pulp suckers tended to be more abundant in plants with low pulp: seed ratios and high fruit-water content. In addition, fruits with high levels of pulp-sucker attack tended to have higher water content. A multi-factor ANOVA, considering the identity of the plant and the attack of the different pests as factors, showed that plant identity accounts for most of the variation in fruit characteristics. The viability of seeds tended to be lower in plants strongly attacked by both pests. Fruits attacked by seed predators showed significantly lower proportions of viable and unviable seeds than did unattacked fruits. Seed viability was also lower in those fruits heavily attacked by pulp suckers, but this pattern is strongly mediated by plant identity. Pest activity proved to be clearly associated with a direct decrease in juniper reproductive capacity. This loss involved a reduction of the viable-seed number, mainly related to the seed predator, as well as a reduction of fruit attractiveness to frugivorous dispersers, related to the pulp sucker.     

井冈山森林凋落物分解动态及磷、钾释放速率

应用网袋分解法对井冈山地区亚热带常绿阔叶林、针阔叶混交林和高山矮林地上和地下(10 cm)2个分解组的叶凋落物进行了连续2年的分解试验,测定了凋落物的分解速率以及P、K元素的释放动态.结果表明: 3种林分叶凋落物残留率与时间呈负指数衰减关系.各林分凋落物干质量损失前期较快,第1年末两组平均质量损失率分别为50.6%(常绿阔叶林)、41.7%(针阔叶混交林)和40.13%(高山矮林),且地上组显著高于地下组;后期较慢,至第2年末2组平均质量损失率分别达到60.95%(常绿阔叶林)、57.06%(针阔叶混交林)和56.60%(高山矮林),均以常绿阔叶林、针阔叶混交林、高山矮林为序递减,地上组与地下组的差异不显著.根据Olson指数衰减模型对质量损失率结果进行拟合,发现3种林分样地上凋落物分解95%所需的时间(t_0.95)为6.8～9.9年,其大小排序为常绿阔叶林＜针阔叶混交林＜高山矮林.P在不同林分凋落物分解过程中均存在明显的净固持效应,其强度顺序为高山矮林＞针阔叶混交林＞常绿阔叶林,凋落物初始P含量和C/P可能是导致上述情形的原因.K在各林分的多数时间均表现为净释放.以试验末期的元素释放量计算,P的释放速率在地上组和地下组之间无显著差异,而K则为地上组显著高于地下组.

Host shifts and signal divergence: mating signals covary with host use in a complex of specialized plant‐feeding insects

A combination of divergent natural and sexual selection is a powerful cause of speciation. This conjunction of evolutionary forces may often occur when divergence is initiated by ecological differences between populations because local adaptation to new resources can lead to changes in sexual selection. The hypothesis that differences in resource use contribute to the evolution of reproductive isolation by altering the nature of sexual selection predicts that: (1) differences in sexual traits, such as signals and preferences, are an important source of reproductive isolation between species using different resources; (2) there are identifiable sources of selection on sexual traits that differ between species using different resources; and (3) signals vary between populations using different resources to a larger extent than between populations using the same resource at different localities. Testing these predictions requires a group of closely‐related species or populations that specialize on different resources and for which the traits involved in mate choice are known. The Enchenopa binotata species complex of treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae) are host plant specialists in which speciation is associated with shifts to novel host plants. Mating in this complex is preceded by an exchange of vibrational signals transmitted through host plant stems, and the signal traits important for mate choice have been identified. In the E. binotata complex, previous work has supported the first two predictions: (1) signal differences between species are important in mate recognition and (2) host shifts can alter both the trait values favoured by sexual selection and the evolutionary response to that selection. In the present study, we tested the last prediction by conducting a large‐scale study of mating signal variation within and between the 11 species in the complex. We find that differences in host use are strongly associated with differences in signal traits important for mate recognition. This result supports the hypothesis that hosts shifts have led to speciation in this group in part through their influence on divergence in mate communication systems. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 99 , 60–72.     

苹果蠹蛾的综合防控和遗传控制研究进展

苹果蠹蛾是仁果类水果的重要检疫害虫,在世界各地造成了巨大的经济损失。目前对其化学防治、化学生态调控、病毒等防治方法研究较多,但仍不能满足防控该害虫的需要,对新型防控技术的需求日益增强。不育昆虫释放技术(SIT)是一种可控制甚至根除靶标害虫的环境友好型防控技术,但传统SIT技术存在一定的局限性,如较难区分性别与筛选雌雄虫、辐射不育昆虫的交配竞争力和适合度降低等问题,这些缺陷随着昆虫遗传修饰技术的发展将得以解决,并将在害虫防控进程中起到积极作用。本文综述了苹果蠹蛾主要防控技术研究现状,介绍了通过遗传修饰技术改善SIT的技术策略,并综合分析了我国开展苹果蠹蛾遗传修饰研究情况和将其应用在苹果蠹蛾防控体系中的可行性及优势。

Impact of integrated pest management on food and horticultural crops in Africa

In sustainable agricultural development, integrated pest management (IPM) can play a key role in the reduction of crop losses, thereby increasing productivity while minimizing environmental contamination and health hazards. In recent years, agricultural research and development partners have pioneered outstanding contributions in IPM, notably in varietal resistance against pests, biological control of alien invasive species, substitution of inorganic pesticides with biopesticides, new export market opportunities, and new tools in biotechnology. Success stories are not limited to these areas, but are also found in the areas of human capital development, information management, and participatory approaches. The potential of IPM to contribute to poverty alleviation and food security is, however, poorly realized in Africa due to a myriad of factors, including inadequate deployment of high-yielding crop varieties, harmful pesticide regimes, political instability, conflicts in social values and civil wars, inappropriate agricultural policies, biased global trade policies, lack of market information, and poor rural infrastructures. Few African countries have adopted IPM as the official national crop protection policy and there is no framework for resource allocation to support widespread promotion of research and training in IPM. This calls for reshaping and revisiting a number of policies related to food production and agricultural development, in order to encourage partnership and participation in the identification, analysis, advocacy, and follow-up of agricultural policy issues as well as public awareness of the effect of pests and diseases on food security and the environment.
