五种迁飞蛾类及非迁飞近似种前翅形状的数值分析

以翅面正投影周缘曲率为指标,对五种蛾类迁飞昆虫及与其近似的非迁飞昆虫的前翅翅形进行数值分析。结果表明,二者之间存在可以相互区别的差异：迁飞种类前翅前缘较平直,特别是前缘1/2处到翅尖的平均曲率绝对值显著小于非迁飞种类;而后缘1/2处到翅尖的平均曲率绝对值偏大,即这段后缘较弯曲,向外凸出,使翅外侧较宽阔。这种翅形特征较适合于利用气流进行远距离迁飞     

若干吊飞昆虫的翅振模式及翅振频率

在吊飞状态下,8目24科50种参试昆虫的翅振模式可以分为3类7型：前动类A、B、C型、双动类D、E型、后动类F、G型、本文介绍了各类,型昆虫翅振模式的特点。昆虫翅振频率与翅形态,翅面积、身体各部分的重量等虫体结构参数有关,其中,影响较显著的是翅负载和飞行驱动器官的发达程度。相关分析表明：动力负载(单位重量的飞行驱动器官所负荷的翅面积)与翅振频率呈负相关;翅负载(单位翅面积负荷的虫体重)与翅振频率呈正相关。试虫中已证实具有典型远距离迁飞行为的蛾类翅振模式均属于前动类B型,其翅振频率、翅负载,动力负载等处于参试昆虫的中间类型。

蛾翅数学形态特征用于夜蛾分类和鉴定的可行性研究

摘要: 为探讨蛾翅数学形态特征(MMC)在夜蛾科分类鉴定中的可行性, 本文利用数字化技术获得和处理昆虫图像, 对鳞翅目夜蛾科6种夜蛾的右前翅提取矩形度、 延长度、 叶状性、 偏心率、 球状性、 似圆度和不变矩Hu1、 Hu2等13项与大小尺度和方向均无关的数学形态特征, 并利用方差分析、 逐步判别分析和聚类分析等方法研究了各项数学形态特征在昆虫分类上作为分类特征的可行性、 可靠性和重要性, 并且从数学形态学角度对夜蛾科6个种的亲缘关系进行了分析。分析结果认为矩形度和延长度2个形态特征对这6种夜蛾的分类鉴定没有显著意义, 从而筛选出11个形态特征作为分类变量, 它们的作用大小依次为： （偏心率、 Hu5、 Hu7）＞Hu2＞似圆度＞球状性＞Hu3＞（叶状性、 Hu1、 Hu6）＞Hu4。利用蛾翅的这些特征参数成功地实现了对夜蛾科6种夜蛾的分类鉴定, 基于这些特征参数的6种夜蛾的亲缘关系远近与基于传统形态学的系统进化观点相同。研究表明蛾翅数学形态特征可应用于蛾类昆虫的快速鉴定, 为未来逐步实现蛾类昆虫的自动识别奠定了基础。     

植物病媒昆虫的翅型分化

翅多型现象是昆虫非遗传多型性的一种表现,包括不具飞行能力的短翅型或无翅型,以及可以进行长距离迁飞的长翅型或有翅型。翅多型现象常发生在可以携带病原并将其传播给植物宿主的媒介昆虫中,对植物病害的时空分布与暴发有重要影响。本文从翅型分化的遗传规律、诱导因素、分子机制和伴随翅型分化的其他生理表现4个方面,对植物病原主要传播媒介蚜虫和飞虱的翅型分化研究进行综述和梳理。昆虫翅型分化的诱导因素主要包括温度、湿度和光周期等非生物因素以及虫口密度、宿主营养、病毒等生物因素;而其内在的分子机制大多是通过胰岛素/胰岛素样生长因子信号(IIS)通路、c-Jun氨基末端激酶(c-Jun NH 2-terminal kinase,JNK)信号通路、Wingless和嗅觉受体SaveOrco等调控。翅型分化的同时伴随着生理状态的变化,表现为短翅型具有更强的繁殖能力和长翅型含有更丰富的飞行肌结构成分。目前,昆虫翅型分化的研究尚不够完善,有许多需要解答的问题,如找到胰岛素/胰岛素样生长因子信号通路中真正发挥功能的靶基因,JNK如何调控翅型分化以及虫媒病毒影响媒介昆虫翅型的分子机理。本综述可为控制虫媒病原的传播以及其他昆虫翅多型的研究提供参考。     

Hox基因与昆虫翅的特化

自从1978年E.B. Lewis描述了著名的果蝇双胸突变体（bithorax）以来,大量的比较发育遗传学研究为我们揭示了形态进化的遗传基础,从而使形态进化研究进入了一个新的时代。同时,Hox基因的研究也成为这一领域的焦点。本文综述了昆虫翅的起源及其特化类群翅的发育遗传学研究的最新进展。一般认为,原始的有翅昆虫胸腹部多附肢（包括翅）; 之后不同的体节受到了不同Hox的抑制,形成两对翅以及前后翅的分化; Ubx的不同表达导致了前后翅的分化,并且Ubx负责识别后翅。我们选择翅特化最为显著的3个类群——鞘翅目（T2鞘翅）、双翅目（T3平衡棒）和捻翅目（T2平衡棒）,结合Hox的表达情况讨论了翅的特化机理。目前已知双翅目和鞘翅目的翅的控制模式存在巨大差异,两种模式的比较研究对于理解翅的形态进化具有重要的意义。但是对捻翅目昆虫的研究则很少。

Central projections of the wing afferents in the hawkmoth, Agrius convolvuli

Flight behaviors in various insect species are closely correlated with their mechanical and neuronal properties. Compared to locusts and flies which have been intensively studied, moths have “intermediate” properties in terms of the neurogenic muscle activations, power generation by indirect muscles, and two-winged-insect-like flapping behavior. Despite these unique characteristics, little is known about the neuronal mechanisms of flight control in moths. We investigated projections of the wing mechanosensory afferents in the central nervous system (CNS) of the hawkmoth, Agrius convolvuli, because the mechanosensory proprioceptive feedback has an essential role for flight control and would be presumably optimized for insect species. We conducted anterograde staining of nine afferent nerves from the fore- and hindwings. All of these afferents projected into the prothoracic, mesothoracic and metathoracic ganglia (TG1, 2 and 3) and had ascending fibers to the head ganglia. Prominent projection areas in the TG1–3 and suboesophageal ganglion (SOG) were common between the forewing, hindwing and contralateral forewing afferents, suggesting that information from different wings are converged at multiple levels presumably for coordinating wing flapping. On the other hand, differences of projections between the fore- and hindwing afferents were observed especially in projection areas of the tegulae in the TG1 and contralateral projections of the anterior forewing nerve in the TGs and SOG, which would reflect functional differences between corresponding mechanoreceptors on each wing. Afferents comprising groups of the campaniform sensilla at the wing bases had prominent ascending pathways to the SOG, resembling the head–neck motor system for gaze control in flies. Double staining of the wing afferents and flight or neck motoneurons also indicated potential connectivity between them. Our results suggest multiple roles of the wing proprioceptive feedback for flight and provide the anatomical basis for further understanding of neuronal mechanisms of the flight system in moths.     

Age-related variation in wing shape of migratory and sedentary Blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla

In many passerines, juveniles have shorter and more rounded wings than adults. Given that (1) long and pointed wings improve endurance in migratory flights, (2) shorter and rounded wings improve manoeuvrability, and (3) juvenile birds are more vulnerable to predators than adults, it has been hypothesised that ontogenetic variation in wing shape results from a greater importance of predation avoidance relative to migration performance during the first year of life. If so, wing shape should not change with age in the absence of migration-related selection for longer and more pointed wings. We test this by studying the variation with respect to age in wing length and wing pointedness of migratory and sedentary Blackcaps wintering in southern Spain. Migratory Blackcaps had longer and more pointed wings than sedentary Blackcaps. Juveniles had shorter wings than adults in migratory populations, but not in sedentary populations. The variation with age in wing pointedness was less pronounced, and was found in migratory females only. These differences between the two traits could be related to a stronger selection for pointed wings than for longer wings with increasing distance of migration, and to an increased migratoriness of females in partially migratory Blackcap populations. We hypothesise that, in migratory Blackcaps, a shorter and more rounded wing in juveniles could be selected for if the decrease in predation rate compensated for the somewhat greater costs of the first migration attempt. On the other hand, there are no costs of migration in sedentary Blackcaps, which hence maintain a similar wing shape, giving high manoeuvrability, both as juveniles and as adults.     

Fearful symmetry? Intra-individual comparisons of asymmetry in cryptic vs. signalling colour patterns in butterflies

The signalling role of asymmetry has attracted considerable recent interest among evolutionary biologists. Although it has been studied primarily within the context of sexual selection, symmetry of signals may play a role also in inter-specific communication, such as predator–prey interactions. Both theory and experimental evidence suggest that asymmetry may impair the efficacy of visual warning signals used to deter potential predators, but increase the protective value of non-signalling, cryptic colour patterns used to decrease the risk of detection. Here we tested the prediction from this hypothesis by means of intra-individual comparisons of asymmetry in colour pattern elements in three species of moths (Arctia caja (L.), Noctua orbona (L.), Smerinthus ocellata (L.)) that possess cryptic fore wing patterns and signalling hind wing patterns. Mean asymmetries constituted 4.3% (range 2.1–7.0%) of trait size for colour pattern elements, whereas individual asymmetry levels reached as high as 26%. Asymmetry tended to be somewhat larger in cryptic patterns on fore wings than in signalling patterns on hind wings in five of six comparisons, but in only one case was the difference statistically significant. In addition, pattern elements were somewhat more asymmetric on fore wings also in Saturnia pavonia (L.), which possesses identical signalling eyespots on both fore and hind wings. The relatively low levels of asymmetry also in cryptic patterns imply either that selection does not favour increased asymmetry in cryptic patterns, or that the evolution of pronounced asymmetry is developmentally or genetically constrained.     

Wing shape and migration in shorebirds: a comparative study

Migration is an energetically expensive and hazardous stage of the annual cycle of non‐resident avian species, and requires certain morphological adaptations. Wing shape is one of the morphological traits that is expected to be evolutionarily shaped by migration. Aerodynamic theory predicts that long‐distance migrants should have more pointed wings with distal primaries relatively longer than proximal primaries, an arrangement that minimizes induced drag and wing inertia, but this prediction has mostly been tested in passerine species. We applied the comparative method of phylogenetically independent contrasts to assess convergent evolution between wing shape and migration within shorebirds. We confirmed the assumption that long‐distance migrants have less rounded wings than species migrating shorter distances. Furthermore, wing roundedness negatively correlates with fat load and mean distance of migratory flights, the basic components of migration strategies. After controlling for interspecific differences in body size, we found no support for a link between wing length and migration, indicating that wing shape is a more important predictor of shorebird migratory behaviour than wing length. The results suggest that total migration distance and migratory strategy may simultaneously act on the evolution of wing shape in shorebirds, and possibly in other avian species.     

Site-occupancy in relation to flight-morphology in caddisflies

1. The relationship between morphology and site‐occupancy provides opportunities to infer differences in dispersal and flight ability, but empirical data for aquatic insects is limited. 2. In this study, 17 species of caddisflies from 10 families were collected from springs, streams and lakes, and total body mass, relative thorax mass, relative wing area (wing loading), and the aspect ratio of the fore and hind wings (combined) were measured. 3. Partial least‐squares regression analysis of two independent distributional data sets produced significant models within which total body mass, relative thorax mass and wing loading were positively associated with site‐occupancy, whereas aspect ratio was negatively associated with site‐occupancy. 4. These results suggest that the faunal composition of streams is influenced by species dispersal abilities.

Variations in the arrangement of sensory bristles along butterfly wing margins

The surfaces of insect wings exhibit numerous sensilla, which have been suggested to have a behavioral function. Some evidence suggests that the sensory bristles along the wing margin of lepidopteran insects (butterflies and moths) are involved in the regulation of wing movement. We investigated the arrangement of sensory bristles along the wing margins of 62 species of papilionoid butterflies, using light-microscopic examination of mounts of whole wings after removing the scales surrounding the bristles. In the majority of the wings examined, bristles were located on the ventral wing surfaces and were continuously distributed along the wing margins, except in the vicinity of the wing bases. In some wings, bristles were also located on the dorsal wing surfaces, and were continuously or discontinuously distributed along the wing margins of different species. In a minority of the species studied, we observed bristle distribution in the vicinity of the wing base, discontinuous bristle distribution on both the dorsal and ventral wing surfaces, or an absence of bristles along the wing margins. This variation in the arrangement of bristles along the wing margins is discussed in relation to the reception and transmission of sensory information in the wings.     

Differences in wing morphology between juvenile and adult European Turtle Doves Streptopelia turtur: implications for migration and predator escape

Behaviour has direct links to wing morphology in bird species. Many studies have postulated migration to be one of the most important forces of selection acting on wing morphology, particularly in relation to wing pointedness. Studies in passerines have found that adults have longer and more pointed wings than juveniles, especially in migratory species. We analysed differences in wing morphology between age groups of the European Turtle Dove, a non‐passerine migratory species that benefits from rounded wings during their daily activity, due to its ground‐feeding behaviour and acrobatic flight style. Our results show that adults of this species have longer but more rounded wings than juveniles. This suggests that in this species wing morphology in juveniles is selected to facilitate the first migration, whereas other selection forces (e.g. flight manoeuvrability) are more important after the first moult. These data also explain why juveniles are not as adept at escaping from predators or hunters as adults.
