Aphidiine and aphelinid parasitoids collected from the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, on Glycine max in Japan and Indonesia (Java and Bali) were identified to clarify the parasitoid spectrum of the aphid there. Nine parasitoid species from Japan (Aphidiinae: Aphidius gifuensis, Aphidius sp., Binodoxys communis, Diaeretiella rapae, Lipolexis gracilis, Lysiphlebia japonica; Aphelinidae: Aphelinus asychis, A. gossypii, A. varipes) and two parasitoid species from Indonesia (B. communis, A. gossypii) were found to be associated with A. glycines. 相似文献

Evolution of the optimal reproductive schedule in the ant Camponotus (Colobopsis) nipponicus (wheeler): a demographic approach 下载免费PDF全文
1. Traits are hypothesised to optimise via natural selection. The schedule of reproduction is an important adaptive trait, but its evolution is difficult to study, as measuring parameters is usually difficult. However, the sufficient amounts of demographic data enable us to estimate these parameters. 2. Here, it is shown that the reproductive schedule of the ant Camponotus (Colobopsis) nipponicus is tuned to maximise the lifetime production of alates. 3. A colony started its reproduction 4 years after the colony founding, at which time they were far smaller than well‐developed colonies. This contradicts the prediction of the bang‐bang strategy theory. The size distribution of colonies in the study area showed that the mortality of small colonies is much higher than that of large colonies. 4. A simulation analysis suggests that the colonies that are smaller than the threshold can still achieve significant improvement in colny survival to the following year by investing all resources in colony growth instead of reproduction. A sensitivity analysis for the starting year of reproduction showed that the observed schedule maximises lifetime alate production. The demographic data suggest a stable population, which is required for optimisation through this maximisation. 5. The observed reproductive schedule must be optimised, and the breakdown of the bang‐bang theory is due to higher mortalities during the incipient stage of colonies. This study demonstrates that having enough demographic data creates a useful tool for studying the evolution of life‐history characteristics. 相似文献

Distribution of the Germinal Vesicle Material during Progesterone-Induced Oocyte Maturation in Xenopus and in Cynops 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The distribution of the germinal vesicle material in the oocyte during progesterone-induced maturation was studied in Xenopus and in Cynops. In both species, two distinctive masses of yolkfree cytoplasm appear in specific areas of the oocyte and at definite stages of maturation. One, the primary cytoplasmic mass, is formed at the basal side of the germinal vesicle during early maturation and is very RNA-rich. In Xenopus , a large part of the primary cytoplasmic mass persists as a mass during maturation and ends up as a thin disk at the boundary between the animal and the vegetal hemisphere in the mature oocyte. In Cynops , a rod-like primary cytoplasmic mass extends near to the equatorial zone and becomes indistinct in the mature oocyte. The other, the secondary cytoplasmic mass, is formed at or prior to germinal vesicle breakdown in areas around the germinal vesicle and is also RNA-rich. The secondary cytoplasmic mass is dispersed and constitutes the RNA-rich animal hemisphere cytoplasm in the mature oocyte. Observed results suggest that the primary and the secondary cytoplasmic mass contain different germinal vesicle materials. 相似文献

We attempted to determine natural agonists of GPR39 in fetal bovine serum (FBS). FBS was conditioned to extract peptides and fractionated by two types of HPLC. The activity of each fraction was monitored by intracellular calcium mobilization. Then the purified active ingredient was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. In this fashion, Zn2 + ion was identified as an agonist of GPR39, though no peptidergic molecules were found. The calcium-mobilizing activity of Zn2 + was not abolished by pertussis toxin but was by a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, U73122, indicating that the activity of GPR39 is mediated through the Gqα -PLC pathway. In addition, Zn2 + also activated mouse and rat GPR39, showing that the function of GPR39 as a Zn2 + receptor is conserved across species. This study is the first exploration of GPR39 agonists in FBS and indicates that GPR39 functions as a Gq-coupled Zn2 +-sensing receptor. 相似文献
