Native pollinator management may be a key to improving fruit set in Tasmanian Mountain Pepper,Tasmannia lanceolata (Winteraceae), an emerging spice resource

Tasmanian Mountain Pepper is a new crop that produces a valuable flavoring agent derived from its fruit. However, annual yields are unpredictable and its commercial prospects depend upon a reliable fruit set. As poor pollination is a possible cause, the pollination biology of this dioecious plant was examined in natural and plantation settings using direct observations, sticky traps, gas chromatography, and microscopy. A community of small insects visits the flowers, and the insect species represent at least seven families of small flies, three families of beetles, and various wasps and moths. Pollen grains were observed on the bodies of bibionid flies (Bibionidae), syrphid flies (Syrphidae), and snail-flies (Sciomyzidae). The tetrahedral tetrad pollen grains are unlikely to be suitable for dispersal by wind. Similar volatiles were emitted by both males and females; several ocimene compounds are attractants for insect pollen vectors. The female flowers also emitted indole, a known fly attractant. It is therefore likely that Tasmannia lanceolata is dependent on the services of diverse insects, especially Diptera, for promoting fruit set. Plantations should be established in the vicinity of biodiverse native vegetation that supports a wide variety of native flying insects capable of transferring pollen.     

斯蒂齿斑摇蚊的再描述(双翅目:摇蚊科)

对摇蚊科（Chironomidea）斑摇蚊属（Stictochironomus Kieffer,1919）斯蒂齿斑摇蚊[S.sticticus（Fabricius,1781]进行了再描述,并纠正Wang（2000）中所记录的辽宁省分布的S.sticicus（Fabricius）为S.akizukii（Tokunaga）。     

橘小实蝇个体食量测定

橘小实蝇在有选择取食的情况下更倾向于倒挂取食,在无选择性取食的情况下位置对取食无影响(P>0.05).橘小实蝇对染料的排空试验结果表明,甲酚红和荧光素钠在4 h内即可到达后肠,通过染料J-管技术测得橘小实蝇取食量在2 h内就能达到最大,所以在测定橘小实蝇食量时饲喂时间以2 h为宜.染料J-管技术测定结果表明:3日龄和6日龄雌雄橘小实蝇2 h内个体食量分别为(4.0412±0.3348)、(3.4409±0.1132)、(5.6543±0.2852)、(4.6808±0.2654)g.
