共生微生物对昆虫化学感受的影响

共生微生物通过影响昆虫信息化合物的合成或感受来调控宿主的化学通讯,进而影响昆虫的交流、防御、捕食和扩散行为。这种调控作用有助于共生微生物的扩散,但对宿主可能是有利的,也可能是有害的,并为共生体系的协同进化提供动力。本文围绕近年来共生微生物对昆虫化学感受的影响及其机制展开综述,并分析其进化意义,旨在为昆虫化学生态学理论提供补充,并为开发新的害虫防治策略提供思路。

Influence of microbial symbionts on chemoreception of insect hosts

Symbiotic microorganisms regulate host chemical communication by affecting the synthesis and perception of insect semiochemicals, which in turn influences insect communication, defense, predation, and dispersal behavior. The effect of microbial symbionts on host chemical communication facilitates the spread of microorganisms, but could be beneficial or detrimental to the host, and provides the impetus for the co-evolution of symbiotic systems. In this paper, we review recent studies on the effects of microbial symbionts on insect chemoreception and their mechanisms, and analyze their evolutionary significance, aiming to provide supplementary information to the theory of insect chemical ecology and provide insight into the development of new pest control strategies.
