小猿叶甲对寄主植物衰老和缺乏的适应

小猿叶甲Phaedon brassicae Baly是十字花科蔬菜上的一种重要害虫,具有复杂的生活史。测定小猿叶甲取食幼嫩和衰老小白菜叶片后的滞育比率和食料缺乏条件下小猿叶甲成虫的存活时间。研究结果表明,在25℃配合光周期12L∶12D条件下,小猿叶甲取食衰老期小白菜叶片后的滞育比率显著高于取食幼期小白菜叶片后的滞育比率。在25℃、12L∶12D条件下以幼期小白菜叶片饲养小猿叶甲,其成虫羽化后取食0～7d,再分别转入30℃、14L∶10D,不供食的条件下,其结果表明,雌雄成虫存活时间随取食时间延长而延长;羽化成虫取食5d以上,成虫存活时间显著延长,雌雄成虫平均存活时间均在75d以上。最后,讨论小猿叶甲对寄主植物衰老和缺乏的可能适应机制。     

梨斑叶甲的形态与生物学特性观察

梨斑叶甲主要危害梨和杜梨。成虫形态变异较大,可分为4种色型:红色黑斑形、黄色黑斑型、黑色红斑型和黑色黄斑型。野外以第一色型数量最多,占半数以上。该虫山东每年发生2代,7月份以后以成虫在石缝杂草等处越夏越冬,属专性滞育型昆虫。     

球孢白僵菌对小猿叶甲的致病力测定

在室内研究了分离自小猿叶甲的一株球孢白僵菌(SCAU-BB 01D)对小猿叶甲的致病力。结果表明,该菌株能感染小猿叶甲的成虫和各龄幼虫,但对不同虫期的致病力存在差异。在105~108孢子/m l的浓度范围内,随着处理浓度的升高,各虫期小猿叶甲的感病死亡率增加,在最高浓度1×108孢子/m l,处理后成虫第14天及1~3龄幼虫第10天的累计死亡率分别为84.7%、94.0%、96.0%和81.0%。用TDM模型对成虫和各龄幼虫的致病力数据进行模拟,所建模型均顺利通过Hosm er-L em eshow拟合异质性检验,表明模型拟合良好,并由模型估计出了该菌株对小猿叶甲各虫期的致死剂量与致死时间。在处理后第10天,成虫和1~3龄幼虫的致死中浓度(LC50)分别为2.68×107、1.07×106、1.63×105孢子/m l和8.31×106孢子/m l,而第14天成虫的LC50为2.38×106孢子/m l。随着浓度的增加,各虫期所需的感病死亡时间缩短,在最高浓度1×108孢子/m l,球孢白僵菌对小猿叶甲成虫及1~3龄幼虫的致死中时(LT50)分别为9.28、4.29、4.40d和5.06 d。综合分析白僵菌对各虫期的致死剂量及致死时间可以看出,不同虫期的小猿叶甲对球孢白僵菌敏感性不同。结果表明该菌株在小猿叶甲生物防治中具有一定的潜力。     

高粱条螟在湘北地区的发生动态

用越冬幼虫及其后代研究了高粱条螟Procerasvenosatus (Walker)的年生活史和未成熟的发育分级特征。结果表明 :卵、幼虫、蛹分级分龄选用的特征比较明显、稳定 ;高粱条螟在湘北地区为兼性滞育昆虫 ,幼虫既能以滞育方式越冬、越夏 ,也能以滞育方式越冬连越夏或者越夏连越冬 ,每年发生 1～ 2代 ;各虫态历期为 :成虫产卵前期 2～ 3d ,卵期 7～ 1 0d ;1龄幼虫期 2～ 3d,2龄 6～ 7d ,3龄 5～ 7d,4龄 9～ 1 1d ,5龄 8～ 1 0d ,6龄 1 1～ 1 2d ,蛹期 9～ 1 1d。     

中华通草蛉滞育成虫越冬能力的初步研究

本文研究了中华通草蛉滞育成虫在越冬期间的存活动态,结果表明,成虫在越冬前产卵量逐渐减少至停止产卵,部分产卵的雌虫可以进入滞育并开始越冬.利用较密闭的器具(如罐头瓶)贮存越冬成虫和提供充足的食物,能明显提高越冬成虫的存活率,提高越冬能力.至3月2日雄虫的存活率为71.31%,雌虫的存活率为84.74%.而3月中旬以后,越冬代成虫的存活率急剧下降,至4月30日,雌虫的存活率为41.88%,雄虫的存活率为5.36%.越冬代成虫在春季死亡率高,生殖成功率低,田间猎物量少,这可能是导致春季该虫在田间种群数量低的主要原因.     

大猿叶虫滞育进程中成虫内生殖系统的形态特征

大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly是十字花科蔬菜的一种重要害虫,以成虫在土壤中滞育越冬和越夏。本研究通过解剖大猿叶虫非滞育成虫,观察描述了雌雄成虫内生殖系统的结构特点,并绘制了雌雄成虫内生殖系统模式图。对滞育初期、滞育期间、滞育解除后未取食和滞育解除后取食成虫解剖显示,滞育初期,雌雄成虫内生殖系统几乎与羽化初期成虫一致。滞育期间雄成虫的附腺和射精管亦不发达,滞育解除后未取食雄成虫的附腺膨大且粗于输精管,射精管略膨大,取食雄成虫的射精管呈不透明淡桔黄色。滞育期间雌成虫的卵巢小,略大于滞育初期卵巢,少数卵巢小管的基部可见具卵黄原沉淀的卵粒。滞育解除后未供食雌成虫卵巢明显膨大可见大量成形卵粒,部分卵粒可见卵黄原沉淀;取食雌成虫的卵巢膨大,可见大量成熟卵粒,侧输卵管和总输卵管中可见待产的卵。作者认为,大猿叶虫成虫在滞育期间能够缓慢发育,部分滞育前积累的代谢物质被用于滞育后发育,但只有经过取食,成虫才能正常交配和产卵。     

越冬代棉大卷叶螟的种群动态

对棉大卷叶螟Sylepta derogata Fabricius第5代、第6代室内种群饲养结果显示,该虫的有效越冬虫源为第5代滞育的老熟幼虫,滞育率24.4%～33.1%,第6代棉大卷叶螟的发生对第2年的种群基数影响不大。滞育老熟幼虫的越冬存活率为60.0%～71.9%。次年越冬代羽化的成虫雌虫少,雄虫多,单雌产卵量平均为163.4～198.8粒。     

不同温湿度下球孢白僵菌对小猿叶甲的致病力

本文在室内研究了分离自小猿叶甲的一株球孢白僵菌(SCAU-BB01D)在不同温度和湿度条件下对小猿叶甲成虫和2龄幼虫的致病力。结果显示温度和相对湿度对白僵菌的致病力有显著影响。在17℃和29℃,小猿叶甲成虫和2龄幼虫的死亡率显著低于其他温度; 在23℃下,成虫接菌后第14天的累计死亡率达到最高为95.60%; 在23℃和26℃下,2龄幼虫接菌后第10天达到最高累计死亡率96%。随着相对湿度的提高,球孢白僵菌对小猿叶甲的致病力显著增加,当相对湿度从50%增加至100%时, 成虫第14天的累计死亡率从55.70%增加到88.80%,2龄幼虫第10天的累计死亡率从62.00%增加到96.00%。机率值分析结果表明,在17、20、23、26和29℃温度下,白僵菌对小猿叶甲成虫和2龄幼虫的LT₅₀分别为 13.63、10.27、8.05、8.87、12.41天和 6.06、5.72、4.90、4.86、6.73天。随着相对湿度的升高,球孢白僵菌对小猿叶甲的致死中时(LT₅₀)呈缩短的趋势,当相对湿度为50%、60%、70%、80%、90%、100％时,成虫和2龄幼虫的LT₅₀分别为12.97、10.97、10.13、9.79、9.14、8.29天和7.68、6.92、5.76、5.57、5.48、4.82天。由实验结果可以得知,23～26℃是球孢白僵菌感染小猿叶甲最适宜的温度范围,环境湿度越高越有利于病原菌侵染,当相对湿度大于90%时,最有利于球孢白僵菌对小猿叶甲的感染。     

光周期和温度对大猿叶虫滞育后成虫生物学特性的影响

大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringiBaly是我国十字花科蔬菜上的一种重要害虫,以成虫在土壤中越冬和越夏,滞育发生主要受温度和光周期调节。本文就光周期和温度对滞育后成虫生物学特性的影响进行了研究。结果表明,在25℃下,光周期（L14∶D10和L12∶D12）对成虫滞育后的存活率、寿命、日平均产卵量、总产卵量均无显著影响。在长光照（L14∶D10）下,温度18℃、22℃和25℃）对滞育后成虫的生物学特性具有明显的影响;随温度的降低,总产卵量呈下降趋势,平均产卵量显著降低,雌虫滞育后寿命显著延长,18℃下少数个体能被诱导再次滞育。     

条纹小斑蛾的生物学特性

条纹小斑蛾Thyrassia penangae(Moor)是乌蔹莓(Japanese cayratia)的重要害虫,在南昌1年发生4～5代,以老熟幼虫结茧越冬。由于该虫各世代总有极少部分个体进入滞育,少数进入越夏的个体1年只发生2代或3代。羽化时间多出现在上午7～10时,羽化后当日或次日下午交配,交配时间集中在下午3～6时,交配一般可持续12个h左右。成虫羽化后需取食花蜜做补充营养才能充分产卵。产配后次日即可产卵。第1代成虫常将卵数十粒聚产于幼嫩叶片的背面,以后各代主要聚产于花蕾上,平均每雌产卵量为43粒。幼虫为4龄。第1代主要取食叶芽、幼枝及嫩叶,以后各代主要取食花蕾。在自然条件下各虫态发育历期:卵为4～7d;幼虫为10～14d;非滞育的茧期(指幼虫结茧后的预蛹至成虫羽化的日期)为8～11d,越夏茧期为32～40d,越冬茧期为205～224d。成虫寿命为3～13d。     

大猿叶虫龙南种群的生物学特性

系统研究大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly江西龙南(24°9′N,114°8′E)种群生物学特性。结果显示,该虫仅在春季和秋季发生为害,以成虫在土中越冬和越夏。由于成虫滞育期的差异,该虫显示出生活史多样性,有些个体隔年繁殖;有些个体是一化性,仅在春季或秋季繁殖1代;有些个体是二化性,在春季和秋季各繁殖1代;有些个体是多化性的,春季1代,秋季2~3代,因此,在田间1年可发生1~4代。春季,滞育成虫于2月中旬至4月初陆续出土繁殖,羽化的成虫于4月上旬至5月中旬陆续入土越夏;秋季,滞育成虫于8月中旬至10月中旬陆续出土,羽化的成虫于9月中旬至12月中旬陆续入土越冬。成虫一生能多次交配,在25℃下,春季世代雌虫产卵期为8~29d,平均产卵量为776粒;秋季世代雌虫产卵期为9~39d,平均产卵量为1003粒。各虫态的发育历期:在18~28℃间,卵为8.66~3.85d,幼虫为19.37~7.92d,蛹为8.57~3.41d。卵、幼虫和蛹的发育起点温度分别为10.5、11.5和11.9℃。滞育成虫的寿命为5~28个月。     

Mobility of mass-reared diapaused and nondiapaused Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): effect of mating status and treatment with gamma radiation

Mass-reared insects may differ in their behavioral traits depending on whether they have undergone diapause. We studied the mobility of mass-reared diapaused and nondiapaused Cydia pomonella (L.) with a focus on understanding the effect of mating status and treatment with gamma radiation as these insects are destined for use in an areawide program that uses the sterile insect technique (SIT). Actograph-measured mobility was assessed one gender at a time for 4 h during which the photoperiod transitioned from day to night. We tested 20-30 individuals per treatment. For experiments on the effect of mating status, we used 24-48-h-old adults (diapause [D]-virgin, D-mated, standard [N]-virgin, and N-mated), which is the typical age class that is released in the SIT program. Diapaused females were significantly more mobile than females reared through standard production, whereas no differences were detected in male mobility because of rearing strategy. Mated females were significantly more mobile than virgin females, whereas no difference in mobility because of mating status was detected for males. Mated females were significantly more mobile than mated males. In contrast, virgin females were significantly less mobile than virgin males. For experiments on the effect of treatment with gamma radiation, adults from all rearing strategies and treatments (D-0Gy, D-100Gy, D-250Gy, N-0Gy, N-100Gy, and N-250Gy), were tested simultaneously. Adult males were tested at two different constant temperatures (25 and 20 degrees C), whereas adult females were tested only at 25 degrees C. For standard-reared adults, we found a significant linear decrease in mobility as the radiation dose increased from 0 to 250 Gy. In contrast, the relationship between mobility and dose of radiation was quadratic for diapaused males and absent for diapaused females.     

Genetic characterization of Human astrovirus infection in Wuhan, People's Republic of China, 2007-2008

Human astrovirus (HAstV) was an important cause of viral gastroenteritis in infants in Wuhan city based on our previous study. The aim of the study was to investigate the nature of HAstV infection in Wuhan, People's Republic of China, especially in adults. Stool specimens were collected from 361 children and 301 adults with diarrhea from July 2007 to June 2008 and were tested for HAstV RNA by RT-PCR. The 348-bp PCR product of positive samples was further sequenced and analyzed for multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree. HAstV RNA was detected in 2.33% (7/301) adults, which was significantly lower than that in children (13.57%, 49/361). HAstV-positive patients were either older than 50 years of age or younger than 3. Genetic analysis showed that the HAstV strain in adults was the same as that in children in 2007-2008. Contrarily, HAstV strains prevalent in 2007-2008 showed genetic characteristics different from those in 2004-2005 and belonged to two new groups of HAstV-1b. Thus, our data characterized HAstV infection in Wuhan 2007-2008, suggesting that HAstV infection also played an important role in adults in Wuhan, especial in patients of >50 years, and should be included for routine diagnosis in the population with diarrheal illness.     

Seasonal changes of free amino acids and thermal hysteresis in overwintering heteropteran insect, Pyrrhocoris apterus

Overwintering adults of Pyrrhocoris apterus do not tolerate freezing of their body fluids and rely on a supercooling strategy and seasonal accumulation of polyols to survive at subzero body temperatures. We sampled the adults monthly in the field during the cold season 2008-2009 and found active thermal hysteresis factors (THFs) in hemolymph of winter-sampled adults. The hysteresis between the equilibrium melting and freezing points ranged from 0.18°C to 0.30°C. No signs of THFs activity were found in the autumn- and spring-sampled insects. The total free amino acid pool almost doubled during winter time. The sum concentrations of 27 free amino acids ranged between 35 and 40mM in whole body water and 40-45mM in hemolymph during December-February. Two amino acids, Pro and α-Ala most significantly contributed to the seasonal increase, while Gln showed the most dramatic seasonal decrease. Moderate levels of amino acid accumulation in overwintering P. apterus suggest that they are by-products of protein degradation and pentose pathway activity during the state of metabolic suppression imposed by diapause and low body temperature. Potential colligative effects of accumulated amino acids, extending the supercooling capacity of overwintering P. apterus, are negligible. Non-colligative effects require further study.

温度在柑橘凤蝶蛹滞育解除中的作用

调查温度在柑橘凤蝶Papillio xuthus L.滞育蛹解除中的作用。结果显示,羽化温度在15,20,25和30℃时,滞育蛹最早羽化分别在第45,16,11和第5天,发育历期分别为60.3,26.0,15.2和11.6d,羽化持续时间分别为35,19,14和15d。同时低温处理(10℃)显示,25℃时,低温处理0,20和40d后,滞育蛹分别在处理后第38,第14和第13天开始羽化,羽化时间持续分别为40,71和16d,发育历期分别为60.9,28.5和19.0d。结果表明,随着羽化温度升高和低温处理时间延长,滞育蛹羽化时间提前,发育历期缩短。但当羽化温度超过25℃后,滞育蛹发育历期差异已不显著。     

Trans-ovum transmission of a cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus of Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Adults of Heliothis virescens infected with a cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV) produced healthy offspring when their eggs were surface sterilized with either 15% formaldehyde or 0.2% sodium hypochlorite solution. Larvae from infected parents (1) cultured on a vitamin-deficient medium, (2) exposed to cold treatment (5°C, 24 hr), or (3) as progeny of adults from diapaused infected pupae, produced the same number of infected individuals as larvae reared in the customary way. Field studies indicated that the percent of CPV infection in larvae originating from virus-infected parents was density dependent.

Photosynthetically active radiation and its relationship with global solar radiation in Central China

Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and other solar components were observed for a period of 3 years at Wuhan, China to determine for the first time the temporal variability of PAR fraction [PAR/G (G here stands for global solar radiation)] and its dependence on different sky conditions in Central China. PAR, G and PAR/G showed similar seasonal features that peaked in summer and reached their lowest values in winter. The seasonal PAR/G ranged from 1.70 E MJ^?1 (winter) to 2.01 E MJ^?1 (summer) with an annual mean value of 1.89 E MJ^?1. Hourly values of PAR/G increased from 1.78 to 2.11 E MJ^?1 on average as sky conditions changed from clear to cloudy. Monthly mean hourly PAR/G revealed a diurnal variation, with highest values observed around sunrise and sunset, slightly higher PAR fractions were also found around noon for most months. The effect of daylength on PAR/G was also studied and no significant impact was found. Three models were developed to estimate PAR from G. These models consisted of atmospheric parameters that were found to cause substantial changes of PAR/G, such as sky clearness, brightness, path length and the sky clearness index. The estimations obtained from different models were very close to the measured values with maximum relative errors below 8 % (hourly values) in Wuhan. The models were not only tested at seven radiation stations in Central China, but also verified in six stations with different climates in China. The models were found to estimate PAR accurately from commonly available G data in Central China; however, the results also implied that the models need to be modified to account for local climatic conditions when applied to the whole country.
