中红侧沟茧蜂的生活史

中红侧沟茧蜂 (Microplitis mediator)同蜜蜂、胡蜂和蚂蚁等昆虫同属于膜翅目昆虫 ,但它过着一种截然不同的生活 ,是棉铃虫、粘虫等大害虫肝里的“蛔虫”,是过着拟寄生生活的寄生蜂。也许你有在棉田附近踏青的经验 ,你的注意力或许会被眼前 1个飞舞的蚂蚁所吸引 ,那可能并不是 1只会飞的蚂蚁 ,很可能是 1只刚从茧中蜕变出来的中红侧沟茧蜂。这只雌性的寄生蜂只有 3mm,有 1对很显眼的长触角 ,体色淡黄 ,姿态优美。吮吸花蜜 ,这是它成年生活的惟一食物和饮料。与此同时 ,它也在散放着召唤异性的信息——性信息素 ,在不远处有 1只同它一样羽化…     

PROGRESS IN THE STUDY ON FORAGING BEHAVIOR OF MICROPLITIS WASPS*

Abstract The success of foraging behavior of Microplitis wasps is governed by many factors including semiochemicals, experience and learning, as well as physiological state, rearing method etc. This paper summarizes the progress in the study on foraging behavior of Microplitis wasps. Its application in biological control is also discussed.     

寄生蜂寄主选择行为研究进展

寄生蜂是膜翅目昆虫中的重要类群,在自然界种类多,数量大。据文献报道全世界膜翅目昆虫大约有10万种”’,其中许多种类与农林害虫长期保持一定的制约关系,在害虫防治中占有重要地位。由于大量使用化学农药导致害虫的抗药性增加,利用天敌昆虫来防治害虫越来越显示出其重要性和优越性。但是,直到近20年来,寄生蜂的寄生行为才受到重视,并给予了广泛的、深入的研究”－‘’严格地讲,寄生蜂应该称为拟寄生蜂,它与通常所说的寄生昆虫像虱子、臭虫等有明显不同,主要区别在于：1．寄生仅仅发生在未成熟阶段,而成虫阶段营自由生活;2．寄…     

龟纹瓢虫对棉蚜的捕食行为

为探讨天敌对害虫的捕食作用机制,充分发挥生物防治的作用,本文从捕食能学角度,系统地观测了龟纹瓢虫Propylea japonica (Thunberg)对棉蚜Aphis gossypii Glover的捕食行为及影响的因素。结果表明：龟纹瓢虫对棉蚜的捕食行为依棉蚜的密度变化而逐渐转变;它在棉蚜密度高时,搜索活动下降;而在棉蚜密度低时,则搜索活动增加。产生这种行为是由于肠胃量与棉蚜遭遇率变化的综合作用结果。因此,将瓢蚜比调控在一定水平上,可以更有效地发挥以瓢治蚜的生物防治作用。     

竞争对马尾松和木荷觅取异质分布养分行为的影响

为了研究邻株竞争对马尾松(Pinus massoniana)和木荷(Schima superba)觅取异质分布养分机理和行为的影响, 我们设计单植、双株纯栽和两株混植3种栽植方式, 构建了同质和异质养分环境开展盆栽实验。结果表明: 单植时, 马尾松和木荷苗木生长对斑块养分反应敏感, 与同质养分环境相比, 两树种在异质养分环境中具有苗高生长量大、干物质积累量高、根系在富养斑块中大量增生, 根系N、P含量和吸收效率高等特点。在异质养分环境中, 木荷与马尾松邻株竞争时的生长表现优于双株纯栽模式而与单植处理相近, 根系形态可塑性和生理可塑性在其觅取斑块养分中的作用显著增强; 与木荷邻株竞争时, 马尾松苗高生长也表现出较单植和双株纯栽模式一定的优势, 这与其根系的广布性、觅养精确性和反应敏感度变化较小及富养斑块中根系P素含量和吸收效率较高等有关。相反, 同种邻株竞争则使得异质养分环境中马尾松和木荷的根系广布性减小, 反应敏感度减弱, 富养斑块中根系N、P含量降低, 苗高生长量和干物质积累量减小。与马尾松相比, 同种邻株竞争对异质养分环境中木荷生长的负向影响更为强烈。建议在生产中采用混交造林的方式促进马尾松和木荷生长。若要营造人工纯林, 可通过适当降低初植密度或及时调控林分密度促进林木生长。     

DIET AND FORAGING BEHAVIOR OF SEA OTTERS IN SOUTHEAST ALASKA

Abstract: Direct observations of feeding sea otters ( Enhydra lutris ) at 11 sites in southeast Alaska showed infaunal clams to be the primary prey utilized by otters throughout the region. Foraging dive times associated with clam and sea urchin prey were significantly longer than those for more easily captured prey (crabs and mussels). Dive times and surface intervals were also generally correlated with water depth or apparent difficulty in obtaining buried prey. Male otters, which fed more extensively on clams than females, made significantly longer foraging dives than females. Foraging success remained high, even at sites where prey numbers were found to be very low during a related study. The very deeply burrowing geoduck clam ( Panope abrupta ), while common at several otter feeding sites, was rarely captured by otters. These results, combined with those of a companion study on prey numbers, indicate that butter clams ( Saxidomus giganteus ) account for the majority of the sea otter diet in southeast Alaska, and that sea urchins may represent relatively short-term prey in comparison to infaunal bivalves in regions where both prey types co-exist. Furthermore, the importance of butter clams in the sea otter diet and the tendency for this bivalve to retain chronically high levels of paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins in southeast Alaska increases the probability that toxic phytoplankton blooms influence sea otter distribution in this region.     

VARIATION IN THE FORAGING LOCATION OF ANTARCTIC FUR SEALS (ARCTOCEPHALUS GAZELLA) AND THE EFFECTS ON DIVING BEHAVIOR

This study investigated how female Antarctic fur seals adapt their foraging behavior, over time scales of days, to spatial unpredictability in the distribution of their food. Lactating Antarctic fur seals are central-place foragers that feed on highly patchy but spatially and temporally dynamic food. We measured the foraging distribution of 28 fur seals to test whether variation in foraging trip durations was reflected in variation in the location of foraging and the diving behavior of seals at sea. Based on the maximum distance travelled from the breeding beach, three categories of foraging trips were denned: those to the continental shelf area ( n = 12, median = 71 km), to oceanic water ( n = 11, median =164 km), and to farther offshore oceanic waters ( n = 5, median = 260 km). Trip duration and mean surface speed were positively correlated with the maximum distance travelled from the breeding beach. Seals on longer trips spent proportionally less of their time submerged, but there was no significant difference in the total number of dives or the total time spent foraging by seals in relation to trip duration. Evidence from this study and previous work investigating energy gain suggests that an animal on a longer foraging trip could potentially have a higher mean energy return per dive than a similar animal on a shorter foraging trip. Evidence presented suggests that the type of foraging trip (near or far) is not predetermined by the animal but may be a simple response to the stochastic distribution of the resources available.

ONTOGENY OF MOVEMENTS AND FORAGING RANGES IN THE AUSTRALIAN SEA LION

This study tracked the movements of Australian sea lion ( Neophoca cinerea ) pups, juveniles, and adult females to identify home ranges and determine if young sea lions accompanied their mothers at sea. Satellite tags were deployed on nine 15-mo-old pups, nine 23-mo-old juveniles, and twenty-nine adult female Australian sea lions at Seal Bay Conservation Park, Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Females did not travel with their offspring at sea, suggesting young Australian sea lions learn foraging behaviors independently. Although home ranges increased with age, 23-mo-old juveniles had not developed adult movement capacity and their range was only 40.6% of the adult range. Juveniles traveled shorter distances (34.8 ± 5.5 km) at slower speeds (2.0 ± 0.3 km/h) than adults (67.9 ± 3.5 km and 3.9 ± 0.3 km/h). Young sea lions also stayed in shallower waters; sea floor depths of mean locations were 48 ± 7 m for juveniles and 74 ± 2 m for females. Restricted to shallow coastal waters, pups and juveniles are more likely to be disproportionately impacted by human activities. With limited available foraging habitat, young Australian sea lions appear particularly vulnerable to environmental alterations resulting from fisheries or climate change.     

Evidence of associative blocking during foraging in the social wasp Vespula germanica

While foraging, Vespula germanica usually return to abundant food sites. During this relocation behavior, these wasps learn to identify contextual cues associated with food position. We analyzed associative blocking in this species, that is, how an association with a conditioned stimulus (CS1) blocks subsequent learning when a novel stimulus (CS2) is added on a second foraging visit. Three groups of wasps (A, B, and C; total 74 individual wasps) were observed while collecting meat during one or two consecutive visits. In group A, an environmental cue (CS1) was paired with food placed at a specific site, and on the second visit, a second cue (CS2) was added while food remained in the same position. In a subsequent testing phase, CS1 was removed and the food source displaced nearby. We then recorded the number of hovers performed over the empty dish (previously baited). Group A wasps appeared to ignore the addition of CS2 on their second visit because they performed fewer hovers over the learned site. For group A, the duration of the decision-making process to finally fly toward the baited dish was shorter than when CS1 and CS2 were presented together on their first visit (group B). This is the first study to demonstrate the occurrence of associative blocking in vespids, confirming that a prior foraging experience influences subsequent food relocation in V. germanica. Our findings reveal that first learning episodes block further associations with novel contextual cues, contributing to understanding of complex cognitive processes involved in V. germanica´s foraging behavior.
