In laboratory trials, Glypta variegata, a common endoparasitoid of leafrollers in North America, successfully parasitized first through third instar Choristoneura rosaceana and first to fourth instar Pandemis limitata. Significantly more second instar C. rosaceana were parasitized when temperatures fluctuated between 30.3 and 12.0°C (16 L:8 D) than when temperatures fluctuated between 17.5 and 4.0°C (12 L:12 D), similar to fall conditions in southern British Columbia, Canada. Under the warmer simulated summer conditions, an average female wasp began to parasitize C. rosaceana 8 days post-emergence (range: 4-16 days), lived 31 days (range: 24-37 days) and successfully parasitized 28 larvae (range: 1-89). When parasitized, C. rosaceana larvae consumed less food in their last two instars than did unparasitized female larvae.  相似文献

Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) exhibits a facultative pupal diapause, which depends on temperature and photoperiod. Pupal diapause is induced at 20 degrees C by short photoperiods and inhibited by long photoperiods during the larval stage. However, in some pupae (35% of males and 57% of females) of a non-selected field population from Okayama Prefecture (34.6 degrees N), diapause is not induced by short photoperiods. In the present experiment, the importance of temperature for diapause induction was studied in the non-diapausing strain, which was selected from such individuals reared at 20 degrees C under a short photoperiod of 10L:14D. Furthermore, the sensitive stage for thermal determination of pupal diapause was determined by transferring larvae of various instars and pupae between 20 degrees C and 15 degrees C. Diapause was induced by 15 degrees C without respect to photoperiod. When larvae or pupae reared from eggs at 20 degrees C under a short or a long photoperiod were transferred to 15 degrees C in the periods of the middle fifth instar to the first three days after pupation, the diapause induction rate was significantly reduced in both males and females, especially in females. In contrast, when larvae or pupae reared at 15 degrees C were transferred to 20 degrees C in the same periods, diapause was induced in males, but not in females. However, the diapause induction rate of pupae transferred to 20 degrees C on the fourth day after pupation was significantly increased in females. The results show that temperature is the major diapause cue in the photoperiod-insensitive strain and the periods of middle fifth larval instar to early pupal stage are the thermal sensitive stages for pupal diapause induction with some different responses to temperatures between males and females in H. armigera.  相似文献

Seasonal adaptations of Chrysopa dorsalis Burmeister were studied in Belgorod Province of Russia (50°N, 36°E). It was found that in the forest-steppe zone two generations may be produced, but from 76 to 100% of the prepupae of the first generation entered diapause, about 40% of them having an obligate diapause. In the rest of the population, seasonal development was controlled by photoperiod and temperature. The critical day length was about 17 h at 20°C. Some prepupae were found to require two or three years to complete the diapause. This prolonged diapause seems to be a permanent element of the life cycle of the studied species. The proportion of the prepupae that remain in diapause after the first winter positively correlated with the percentage of diapausing prepupae of the first generation in the previous season (r = 0.8). The offspring from eggs laid by females simultaneously collected under the natural conditions emerged in successive years, and the tendency to enter a long-term diapause was not inherited. The rate of the larvae development and the prepupae weight were not different in individuals which had one-year-long and prolonged diapause. However, the weight loss due to dehydration and respiration during the first winter was slightly lower in the prepupae with the prolonged diapause. The expression of the prolonged diapause was independent of the photoperiod during the diapause induction, but it was increased at a high temperature (28°C). Probably, the prolonged diapause increases polymorphism of local Ch. dorsalis populations, ensuring their survival under unpredictable conditions.  相似文献

The attack, escape and predation rates for larvae of aphidophagous ladybird Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) and Coccinella transversalis Fabricius were quantified as a potential mechanism leading to the differences in the incidence of cannibalism and intraguild predation. These rates were compared at four larval instars within and between the species. The attack rates of larvae of C. transversalis were significantly higher than those of P. dissecta towards conspecific and heterospecific victims. For both species, third instars exhibited maximum tendency to attack. Escape rates in C. transversalis were higher than P. dissecta. In P. dissecta, the second instars made a greater number of escapes than other conspecific instars after being attacked by same stage cannibal or heterospecific predator. In P. dissecta, first instars suffered maximum mortality due to cannibalism and intraguild predation by conspecifics and heterospecifics of the same and older developmental stage. No larvae of C. transversalis were eaten by P. dissecta of the same stage. These results suggest that the larvae of P. dissecta were more often potential cannibals than intraguild predators, while the reverse was the case in C. transversalis. Based on this finding, it could be predicted that in patchy prey habitats, high rates of larval cannibalism in P. dissecta would occur with a high risk of cannibalism of first instars. Larvae of C. transversalis would respond as intraguild predators, while those of P. dissecta as intraguild prey. The greater size and walking activity of C. transversalis could be possible reason for this tendency.  相似文献

At 22°C and under a long-day photoperiod of L:D 16:8, all the last fifth instar Loxostege sticticalis larvae undergo prepupal stage and pupate without diapause. Under a short-day photoperiod of L:D 12:12, in contrast, they all enter diapause with approximately 36 days diapause maintenance and then terminate diapause spontaneously, although only 44% of the larvae terminated diapause successfully. Changes in hemolymph juvenile hormone (JH I) titers of diapause-destined larvae across diapause induction, maintenance and termination were examined using HPLC, and were compared with those of non-diapause-destined larvae from the fifth instar through pupation. JH I titer of the earliest fifth instar diapause-destined larvae remained at a high level with a peak of 220.4 ng/ml, though it decreased continuously to a minimum of 69.0 ng/ml on day 5 in the fifth instar when the larvae stopped feeding to enter diapause. During the diapause maintenance, JH I titer of the mature larvae increased significantly and maintained a high level until day 31 in prepupae. JH I titer declined and fluctuated at low level from 5 days before pupation. In contrast, JH I titer of both the fifth instar non-diapause-destined larvae and prepupae remained and fluctuated at low level consistently, as well as decreased before pupation. These results indicate that diapause induction and maintenance in this species might be a consequence of high JH, whereas diapause termination can be attributed to low JH titer, which was in agreement with the hormonal regulation observed in many other larval-diapausing insects.  相似文献

Apophua simplicipes (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is a common parasitoid of the oblique banded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in organically managed apple orchards in the southern interior of British Columbia, Canada. The biological characteristics of a laboratory colony of A. simplicipes were studied. When held at 15 and 25°C and provided with honey water, individual females survived an average of 60.6±6.1 and 29.8±4.7 days, oviposited 196.7±50.7 and 326.6±51.3 eggs and parasitized a total of 163.4±40.4 and 229.4±35.8 hosts, respectively. Females oviposited into first through fourth instar oblique banded leafrollers, with significantly more parasitism occurring in the first two instars compared to the third and fourth instars. No parasitoid larvae survived past the first larval stage in parasitized fourth instar hosts. Apophua simplicipes did not parasitize larvae of three-lined leafroller, Pandemis limitata (Robinson) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) which is sympatric with oblique banded leafrollers in orchards in the southern interior of British Columbia. Female predation and host feeding from wounds on early instars of both leafroller species was observed under laboratory conditions. In addition, early instar hosts exited diet feeding sites in response to the probing activity of the ovipositing wasps. A similar escape reaction in the orchard may cause a leafroller larva to move away from its feeding site, making it more vulnerable to predation or movement off the tree. Apophua simplicipes larvae emerged from fifth and sixth instar hosts. Parasitized oblique banded leafroller hosts consumed significantly less meridic diet than unparasitized female larvae from fifth instar through to parasitoid emergence or leafroller pupation. Our laboratory results suggest that A. simplicipes may reduce field populations of oblique banded leafroller and decrease pest feeding damage.  相似文献

The yellow peach moth, Conogethes punctiferalis (Guenée), a multivoltine species that overwinters as diapausing larvae, is one of the most serious insect pests on maize in China. Effect of photoperiod and temperature on larval diapause was examined under empirical laboratory conditions. Short‐day treatments caused larval diapause at 25°C, and the critical photoperiod was between 12 and 13 h (or 12 h 51 min) light per day. No sensitive instar was identified for diapause induction under alternated short‐ (L : D 11 : 13 h) and long‐day (L : D 14 : 10 h) treatments at different larval stages. However, accumulative treatment of three instars and 10 d under short‐day treatment was required for the induction of 50% larval diapause. All larvae entered diapause at 20°C, whereas less than 3% did so at 30°C, irrespective of the long‐ or short‐day treatment. Furthermore, under the short‐day treatment, more than 90% of larvae went into diapause with temperatures ≤ 25°C, but less than 17% did so at 28°C. In contrast, under the long‐day treatment, less than 19% of larvae went into diapause with temperatures ≥ 23°C. The forward shift (5°C) of critical temperature under the long‐day regime demonstrated the compensatory effect of temperature and photoperiod on diapause induction. In conclusion, C. punctiferalis had a temperature‐dependent type I photoperiodic diapause response; there was no sensitive instar for diapause determination, but the photoperiodic accumulation time countermeasures both of the short‐day cycles and the number of instars exposed, and the photoperiodic diapause response, was a temperature‐compensated phenomenon.  相似文献

The seasonal life cycle of the zygaenid moth, Pseudopidorus fasciata is complicated by two different developmental arrests: a winter diapause as a fourth larval instar and a summer diapause as a prepupa in a cocoon. Both larval diapause induction and termination are under photoperiodic control. Short days induce larval diapause with a critical daylength of 13.5h and long days terminate diapause with a critical daylength of 14h. In the present study photoperiodic control of summer diapause was investigated in Pseudopidorus fasciata. Under long photoperiods ranging from LD 14:10 to LD 18:6, only part of the population entered summer diapause, the rest continued to develop. The lowest number of prepupae entered diapause at LD 14:10, followed by LD 16:8 and LD 17:7. The highest incidence of diapause occurred with photoperiods of LD 15:9 and LD 18:6. By transferring the diapausing prepupae induced by various long photoperiods (LD 14:10, LD 15:9, LD 16:8, LD 17:7, LD 18:6) to LD 13:11, 25 degrees C, the duration of diapause induced by LD 14:10 was significantly shorter than those induced by longer photoperiods. By keeping aestivating prepupae induced by LD 15:9, 28 degrees C or by natural conditions at short photoperiods (LD 11:13 and LD 13:11) and at a long photoperiod (LD 15:9), the duration of diapause at LD 15:9 was more than twice as long as than those at LD 11:13 and LD 13:11. Moreover, adult emergence was highly dispersed with a high mortality at LD 15:9 but was synchronized with low mortality at LD 11:13 and LD 13:11. When the naturally induced aestivating prepupae were kept under natural conditions, the early aestivating prepupae formed in May exhibited a long duration of diapause (mean 126 days), whereas the later-aestivating prepupae formed in July exhibited a short duration of diapause (mean 69 days). These results indicate that aestivating prepupae require short or shortening photoperiod to terminate their diapause successfully. By transferring naturally induced aestivating prepupae to 25, 28 and 30 degrees C, the duration of diapause at the high temperature of 30 degrees C was significantly longer than those at 25 and 28 degrees C, suggesting that high temperature during summer also plays an important role in the maintenance of summer diapause in Pseudopidorus fasciata. All results reveal that summer diapause can serve as a "bet hedging" against unpredictable risks due to fluctuating environments or as a feedback mechanism to synchronize the period of autumn emergence.  相似文献

Effects of photoperiod and cold exposure on diapause termination, post-diapause development and reproduction in Loxostege sticticalis were examined. Larvae were reared at diapause inducing condition (22 °C, L:D 12:12) consistently or transferred to long day photoperiod (L:D 16:8) and darkness (L:D 0:24) respectively, after entering into diapause. Diapause was terminated in approximately 40% of the larvae after 36 days, and no significant differences were observed between photoperiods, suggesting larval diapause was terminated spontaneously without being induced by photoperiods. Cold exposure significantly hastened diapause termination. The diapause termination incidence increased significantly with peaks of 98% at both 5 °C and 0 °C exposure for 30 days, as compared to 42% in controls not exposed to cold, while the mortality and number of days required for diapause termination decreased dramatically. The optimal low temperature exposure periods under 5 °C or 0 °C were 20 days and 30 days, showing a higher termination incidence and shorter time for diapause termination. This suggests that the low temperatures in winter play an important role in diapause termination under natural conditions. The threshold temperatures for post-diapause development in prepupae and pupae were 9.13 °C and 10.60 °C respectively, with corresponding accumulations of 125 and 200 degree-days. Adults that experienced larval diapause significantly delayed their first oviposition, oviposition period was prolonged, and the lifetime number of eggs laid was decreased, however both males and females have significantly longer longevity. The field validation of diapause termination, the degree-days model, and the relationship between diapause and migration in L. sticticalis were also discussed.  相似文献

We studied conspecific host discrimination and oviposition behavior of Diaschasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead), in third instar Anastrepha ludens (Loew) under laboratory conditions. The complete process of oviposition in D. longicaudata required an average of 29±11.7 s (Mean±SE), during which time the female remained completely immobile. This contrasts with attempts to oviposit for lesser durations (2-4 s), during which the female constantly moved her antennae and abdomen. In order to determine the host discrimination ability of this species (i.e., the capacity to distinguish between parasitized and non-parasitized hosts), third-instar A. ludens non-parasitized or parasitized 24 h earlier, were exposed simultaneously to individual female wasps with or without previous oviposition experience. An identical test was performed using larvae parasitized 48 h earlier. Both types of females showed a similar behavioral pattern of oviposition, but with significant differences in the number of eggs laid in parasitized and non-parasitized larvae. Experienced females showed reduced incidence of oviposition in parasitized larvae as well as a greater number of probes that did not lead to parasitism (rejection), although this difference was only significant in the 24-h test. This suggests that the host discrimination capacity of this parasitoid is innate and that previous oviposition experience increases the discrimination ability of females.  相似文献

The hypothesis that mature egg availability during a parasitoid's lifetime affects the functional response, as well as a parasitoid's handling time and searching efficiency, was tested. Campoletis grioti Blanchard (Hym: Ichneumonidae) female parasitoids and Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lep: Noctuidae) host larvae were used as an example. Each female of C. grioti was confined with different host densities (6, 10, 30, 50, 80, 120 and 160 larvae/day) of first and second S. frugiperda instars until the female died. We found that C. grioti showed a type II functional response, with a reduction in the number of parasitized hosts in relation to female ageing. Handling time and searching efficiency increased over time. When we standardized the data simulating unlimited egg supply, the functional response, handling time and searching efficiency became constant throughout the parasitoid's life. We discuss the relationship between egg availability and functional response and its associated parameters, and its consequence on biological control programs.  相似文献

Photoperiodic responses to both constant and changing photoperiods were studied in the Mediterranean tiger moth Cymbalophora pudica. Embryos, larval instars and prepupae were all sensitive to photoperiod, and the responses of larvae and prepupae to changing photoperiods were similar. At 23+/-2 degrees C, constant 24-h photoperiods with short photophases (11, 12h) induced a long diapause (mean 88days) whereas long photophases (14, 16h) induced a short diapause (mean 52days). A change to a longer or shorter photophase during larval development or during diapause caused a significant extension (up to a maximum of 138days) or shortening (down to a minimum of 10days) of diapause, respectively, but only when at least one of the photophases was longer than 14h. Thus, shortening and prolongation of photophase had an opposite effect than constant short and long photophases, respectively. Changes within the range of photophases of 10-14h did not cause a significant change in diapause duration.Experimental results enabled us to outline the mechanisms regulating voltinism and the duration of summer diapause. For the monovoltine cycle, cold autumn/winter temperatures slow down larval development, and prepupal aestivation starts relatively late (March, April). Prepupae are then kept in diapause by the increasing daylength (>14h after late April). Pupation is synchronized by decreasing daylength after summer solstice, and imagoes emerge in September/October. For the bivoltine cycle, when the autumn/winter temperatures are relatively warm, a certain portion of the population (depending on the individual rate of growth) may be diverted to a bivoltine life-cycle. In such a case, larval development is fast and short enough to allow an early start of diapause (prior to or during February). The duration of such early diapause is not influenced by changes in daylength (<14h); pupation occurs very early (April/May), and spring generation imagoes fly and oviposit in May/June. Summer larvae and prepupae live under decreasing daylength (>14h), which shortens their diapause to 20-30days. Imagoes of the autumnal generation thus occur in September/October, together with the univoltine portion of the population.  相似文献

为了阐明环境因子对草地螟阿格姬蜂Agrypon flexorium (Thunberg)滞育诱导作用, 测定了5个光周期和4个温度处理对阿格姬蜂的滞育诱导和该蜂感受光周期的敏感虫态以及不同时间段低温贮藏对滞育虫茧的影响。结果表明: 在17~23℃、 光照时间10~14 h范围内, 随着温度的降低和光照时间的缩短, 滞育率明显提高。高温能抵消短光照对滞育诱导的影响, 在26℃下, 短光照不能诱导滞育。因此, 低温和短光照是诱导草地螟阿格姬蜂滞育的主要因子。草地螟阿格姬蜂感受滞育信号的敏感虫态为卵和1龄幼虫。卵和1龄幼虫感受滞育信号以后, 需要在滞育环境中发育到老熟幼虫才能全部进入滞育。将室内诱导的滞育茧在4℃左右环境条件下冷藏80 d, 成蜂的羽化率和寄生能力与没有冷藏的非滞育茧差异不显著, 冷藏120 d, 滞育茧仍有71.7%可以正常羽化。结果说明,可在17℃,光周期8L∶16D条件下对寄生后3 d内的草地螟Loxostege sticticalis幼虫进行滞育诱导, 滞育后的虫茧最佳贮藏时间为80 d, 不宜超过120 d。本研究为室内扩繁、 防止蜂源退化、 控制寄生蜂发育时间以便适时释放提供了参考依据。  相似文献

The compatibility of the encyrtid parasitoid Leptomastix dactylopii with the coccinellid beetle Cryptolaemus montrouzieri against the citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri, is determined by the extent of intraguild predation and interference by the predator. We tested the preference of the adults and fourth-instar larvae of C. montrouzieri for healthy mealybugs and parasitized mealybugs harboring 1-, 4-, 7- and 14-day-old parasitoid larvae. The experiments were conducted in no-choice (only unparasitized mealybugs or parasitized mealybugs of one parasitoid age were offered at one time) and choice (unparasitized and parasitized mealybugs of a specific age were offered simultaneously) tests. Both the adults and larvae of C. montrouzieri fed on unparasitized and parasitized mealybugs but strongly discriminated against the hardened mummies (14 days old). We also investigated the influence of the presence of C. montrouzieri to the foraging effectiveness of L. dactylopii. The level of parasitism by L. dactylopii was reduced from about 13 to 6% when the number of the C. montrouzieri was increased from zero to four. We recommended that the releases of C. montrouzieri should be conducted 14 days after the releases of L. dactylopii to reduce intraguild predation on the parasitized mealybugs and to avoid interference with the foraging parasitoids.  相似文献

Theory predicts that the acceptance of hosts already parasitized by a conspecific will depend both on egg load and the availability of hosts. In the present laboratory study, we tested the effect of egg load and host encounter rate on the propensity of superparasitism in the solitary parasitoid Aptesis nigrocincta Gravenhorst (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae), a synovigeneous ectoparasitoid of prepupae of the European Apple Sawfly. Parasitoid females carry few voluminous eggs at a time and the egg maturation rate is less than one egg per day. Egg load was manipulated by giving females access to hosts one week prior to the start of treatments and host availability by giving females access to either one host cocoon every day or every other day. In the first treatment where females had a high egg load of 5.3 egg in their ovaries and encountered host cocoons at low rates, we found that parasitized hosts were accepted to the same degree as healthy hosts. In females with significantly decreased egg load (3.8 eggs) encountering hosts at the same rate we found a slight but non‐significant decrease in the acceptance of parasitized hosts compared with healthy hosts. In contrast, A. nigrocincta females accepted significantly fewer parasitized hosts at a high host encounter rate that would lead them to the point of egg limitation in the near future. Within the range of egg loads tested, the host encounter rate appears to be the most important determinant for a females decision to oviposit onto hosts already parasitized by a conspecific.  相似文献

In Calliphora vicina from Belomorsk (North Karelia) the pattern of reactivation of diapausing larvae at different temperatures (4, 12·5, 15·5, 20, and 25°C) was studied experimentally. Most favourable in this respect are the first and last temperatures. Photoperiodic reactivation was established. The rate of pupation under a long-day régime is two to four times greater when compared with that observed under a short-day régime. In C. vicina maternally operating photoperiods determined not only the ratio of diapausing and non-diapausing larvae in the progeny but also the peculiarities of the diapause. A more intensive diapause is typical for the progeny of short-day-treated flies. The diapause of the progeny of long-day-treated flies is less intense and can be easily terminated as a result of the action of the above-mentioned factors.  相似文献

Induction of diapause in the larval stage of the oblique-banded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris), was found to be dependent on both photoperiod and temperature. At constant temperatures of 24, 20 and 16°C, short photoperiods induced diapause. The critical photoperiod was between 14–15 h of light per day at 20 and 16°C. At 14 h light: 10 h dark, all larvae expressed diapause. Temperature had a modifying effect, and slightly shifted the larval response to diapause-inducing photoperiods. High constant temperatures of 28°C and above induced diapause in some individuals (< 20%), while fluctuating temperatures of 32 and 16°C in a 12-h cycle resulted in 67% diapause induction, suggesting that diapause could also be induced by fluctuating temperatures, particularly if the higher temperature exceeds 25°C.The first- and the second-instar larvae were the only two stages sensitive to diapause induction. Exposure of adult, egg and third, fourth, and fifth-larval instars to diapause-inducing conditions did not produce diapause. Although diapause was induced in the first or the second instars, it was always expressed in the third or fourth instar.  相似文献

To investigate the physiology of Chrysopa pallens, the effect of photoperiod on diapause and development was examined in a Japanese population (33.4°N). The response stage for diapause of C. pallens was considered to be the prepupal stage. The critical photoperiod for diapause induction at 20.0°C was between 13 h light : 11 h dark (LD 13:11) and LD 14:10. The larval developmental period was affected by photoperiod: larvae in diapause took longer to complete their development. This difference of larval developmental period in relation to photoperiod was considered to be an adjustment of larval diapause timing.  相似文献

Complete and diel ovipositional rhythms have been observed in three aphidophagous ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, Coccinella transversalis Fabricius and Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) for the first time. The complete ovipositional rhythm could be described in terms of a polynomial curve and daily fluctuations in all three species. In the diel cycle, all three ladybird species oviposited significantly in the scotophase. C. septempunctata females preferred to oviposit at the end of scotophase in the early morning hours (0300-0700), P. dissecta laid most eggs in the middle of scotophase during the night (2100-2300), and C. transversalis laid most at the beginning of the scotophase at dusk (1700-1900). While the diel ovipositional rhythm of C. septempunctata and P. dissecta did not differ between days, that of C. transversalis changed dramatically; there was a single peak on the first and second day of observation, and four oviposition peaks on the fifth day with the peaks being situated in the two hours preceding and succeeding the onset and end of the scotophase. Diel rhythms of C. septempunctata and P. dissecta appear to be endogenous in nature while that of C. transversalis is partly modified by exogenous factors.  相似文献
