不同防治措施对花椰菜地节肢动物群落结构的影响

【目的】明确不同防治措施对花椰菜地节肢动物群落特征的影响,为花椰菜地害虫防治和天敌保护利用提供理论依据。【方法】设置不施药对照区、生物农药防治区和化学农药防治区,按5点随机取样,记录植株和地面所有节肢动物的数量。在田间定点埋放盛有洗衣粉水溶液的玻璃瓶调查在地表活动的节肢动物种类及数量,根据调查结果分析不同防治措施下花椰菜地节肢动物群落特征的差异。【结果】在广州花椰菜地共调查到节肢动物87种,其中植食性害虫29种,捕食性天敌54种,中性昆虫4种。防治措施明显影响节肢动物群落的物种数及其数量。不施药对照区的捕食性天敌、植食性害虫和中性昆虫的数量均高于其他两种施药防治处理区,不同处理区节肢动物群落物种数及其个体数为不施药对照区生物农药防治区化学农药防治区。花椰菜地植食性昆虫功能类群的优势集中性以花椰菜苗期为最小,成熟期最大;捕食性天敌的优势集中性在不同防治区同样以苗期相对较小,而在不施药防治对照区花椰菜各生育期,其大小接近一致;在施药防治区,捕食性天敌的优势集中性表现出波动现象。在花椰菜不同生育期以及不同防治措施区节肢动物群落的优势种不同。整个生育期优势度指数0.1的有烟粉虱、桃蚜、小菜蛾、菜青虫、前凹狼蛛、拟环纹豹蛛和八斑鞘腹蛛。花椰菜地节肢动物群落多样性指数(H′)在不同防治区和花椰菜各生育期之间均呈现不同程度的差异,各指数之间的变化趋势相似。群落整体多样性指数随花椰菜生长而增大,至中后期达到最大,此结果与田间群落的发展动态相吻合,在不同防治区之间的多样性指数为不施药对照区生物农药防治区化学农药防治区。均匀度指数在不同生育期和防治处理区的变化程度相似。害虫亚群落多样性与群落整体多样性变化趋势相似,其多样性指数在花椰菜生长中后期达到最大。不同防治措施区之间的多样性指数为不施药对照区生物农药防治区化学农药防治区,其中以化学农药防治区花椰菜苗期为最小。均匀度在花椰菜苗期为最大,而后随花椰菜生长而减小。捕食性天敌亚群落多样性在花椰菜各个生育期和防治处理之间变化相对平稳。地表节肢动物的调查表明,两种药剂处理区所施药剂对地表节肢动物的杀伤较大。同时,从地表节肢动物数量和捕食性天敌的数量动态来看,地表中性昆虫对捕食性天敌前期的定殖有一定的作用。蜘蛛与植食性昆虫、中性昆虫以及捕食性昆虫具有极显著的相关性,捕食性昆虫与中性昆虫之间也具极显著的相关性,表明这些功能团之间在数量上具有较好的跟随效应。捕食性昆虫与植食性昆虫之间相关未能达到显著水平。【结论】药剂防治措施虽然能有效降低害虫的种群数量,但也使天敌数量相应减少。地表中性昆虫对捕食性天敌前期的定殖有一定的作用,药剂防治能影响花椰菜地节肢动物群落特征,生物农药对花椰菜地节肢动物群落影响小于化学农药。

Germination response of Orobanche seeds subjected to conditioning temperature, water potential and growth regulator treatments

Broomrapes (Orobanche spp.) are parasitic weeds that cause significant losses of crop yield. Experiments were conducted to investigate the seed response to the artificial germination stimulant GR₂₄ in three species of Orobanche subjected to preconditioning under various temperatures, water potentials and with plant growth regulators. The highest germination percentages were observed in Orobanche ramosa, Orobanche aegyptiaca and Orobanche minor seeds conditioned at 18°C for 7 days followed by germination stimulation at 18°C. With the increase of the conditioning period (7, 14, 21 and 28 days), the germination percentage of O. ramosa and O. aegyptiaca progressively decreased. When conditioned at −2 MPa, the germination percentage was lower than at 0 and −1 MPa, especially at 13 and 28°C. Orobanche minor seeds could retain relatively high germination if conditioned at 18, 23 or 28°C, even after significantly extended conditioning periods (up to 84 days). GA₃ (30–100 mg L⁻¹), norflurazon and fluridone (10–100 mg L⁻¹), and brassinolide (0.5–1.0 mg L⁻¹) increased seed germination, while 0.01 mg L⁻¹ uniconazole significantly reduced germination rates of all three Orobanche spp. The promotional effects of GA₃ and norflurazon and the inhibitory effect of uniconazole were evident, even when they were treated for 3 days. Germination of Orobanche seeds was much lower when the unconditioned seeds were directly exposed to GR₂₄ at 10⁻⁶ m . This early GR₂₄-induced inhibition was however alleviated or even eliminated by the inclusion of GA₃ or norflurazon (10–50 mg L⁻¹) in the conditioning medium. On the contrary, the inclusion of uniconazole increased the inhibitory effect of GR₂₄, particularly in the case of O. ramosa.

Stimulating effects of the insecticide chlorpyrifos on host searching and infestation efficacy of a parasitoid wasp

Hymenopterous parasitoids play an important role in the control of insect populations. During oviposition, Hymenopterous parasitoids use cues such as odours from their environment to locate their specific host. Leptopilina heterotoma (parasitoid of Drosophila larvae) locate their host by probing the substrate with the ovipositor. This behaviour can be induced by the odour of the host substrate alone. We analysed the sub-lethal effects of chlorpyrifos at LD20 on the probing activity in response to a fruit odour (banana). The insecticide increased the percentage of females spontaneously probing in response to the odour. Parasitoid females were then conditioned to associate banana odour with the oviposition in host larvae. This conditioning enables parasitoids to memorize the odour and to increase their probing response to this odour. During the olfactory conditioning, females exposed to the insecticide found and oviposited in host larvae more quickly than control females. One hour after the olfactory conditioning, females exposed to the insecticide presented a higher increase of their probing response to the odour than controls. Twenty-four hours after conditioning, the stimulation produced by chlorpyrifos was no longer perceptible, but the level of response of conditioned females was still higher than that of non-conditioned females, showing that odour memory was not impaired by the insecticide treatment. These sub-lethal effects, that stimulate host searching by parasitoids without impairing odour memorization, could increase their parasitic efficiency.     

氮肥对水稻叶冠层捕食性天敌种群及其自然控制能力的影响

为了公正地评价氮肥对整个稻田生态系统的影响，在国际水稻研究所试验场分别设立0、100和200kg／hm^2三个氮肥水平，测定了水稻主要特性参数和叶冠层捕食性天敌的种群动态，同时以果蝇蛹作为替代猎物的方法在田间模拟评价了叶冠层捕食性天敌对害虫的自然控制能力。结果表明，虽然施用200kg／hm^2氮肥稻田的稻株高度、叶面积和稻草干重显著比施用100kg／hm^2氮肥稻田的高，但每丛分蘖数和稻谷产量则没有明显差异。在水稻叶冠层中，肖蛸、圆蛛、黑肩绿盲蝽、稻红瓢虫和捕食性螅等为稻飞虱主要捕食性天敌。肖蛸在水稻孕穗期的数量最高，圆蛛的种群随水稻的生长而下降，但黑肩绿盲蝽、稻红瓢虫和捕食性螅的数量却均随水稻的生长而增加。施用氮肥后稻田中肖蛸和稻红瓢虫的种群数量显著减少。在水稻孕穗期，叶冠层上蜘蛛网的数量和蜘蛛网总面积均随氮肥施用量的提高而显著减少。在水稻孕穗期和乳熟期，不施用氮肥稻田中的捕食性天敌对替代猎物果蝇蛹的捕食能力显著高于其它两个施用氮肥的稻田中的捕食能力。而在乳熟期施用100kg／hm^2氮肥稻田的捕食能力又显著比施用200kg／hm^2氮肥稻田的高。结果说明过量施用氮肥可削弱天敌对害虫的自然控制作用。     

Larger body size with higher predation rate

Abstract –  Many studies have reported that prey fish increase in body size with an increase in piscivore abundance, and this change may be explained mainly by two processes: release from intraspecific competition because of a reduction in the prey fish population and size-dependent selection by the piscivore. However, the evolutionary mechanism is not yet fully understood. Here, we first show the body-size dynamics of the semelparous gobiid fish Gymnogobius isaza , which is one of the prey fishes of the introduced largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides . The data show the possibility that the goby body size might have changed in parallel to the number of largemouth bass from 1975 to 2002, which may be one of the best examples of the positive relationship between body size and predation rate. Furthermore, we explored a mathematical model to consider a body-size change of semelparous fish from an evolutionary viewpoint. The model provided the following qualitative predictions: (1) the optimal assimilation rate increases with predation pressure; (2) a rapid large-scale increase in predation pressure may exterminate the prey fish because of delayed evolution of the assimilation rate; and (3) the optimal assimilation rate increases when the prey fish is more likely to die through predation than through natural mortality or when it is difficult to grow larger because of low resource availability or insufficient foraging efficiency. Moreover, we propose a theoretical framework to evaluate the relative effects of ecological and evolutionary processes over the long term.     

Rapid and Synchronous Germination of Cicer Milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) Seed following Diurnal Temperature Priming

Experiments were conducted to determine if diurnal temperature variation could be used to prime cicer milkvetch ( Astragalus cicer L.) seed and thereby shorten the time for seed germination. For untreated cicer miikvetch seed at constant 20°C, 50% of the seeds germinated in 8.2 days and 90% of the seeds germinated in 10.5 days. In contrast, seed that was first primed for 7 days with a diurnal temperature variation (35 (8h)/5 (16h) °C) had values of 1.9 days and 3.3 days, respectively. A second experiment evaluated priming of seed in bulk to test if a procedure might be developed that could be scaled up to prime commercial quantities of seed. A bulk sample of seed was soaked in water for 5h at room temperature and then kept in a high humidity atmosphere during 7 days of priming at 35/5°C. Hydrated seed from the bulk sample had 50% germination in 2.7 days and 90% germination in 5.3 days. When the bulk sample was dried for 8 days at room temperature, the benefit of priming on shortening germination time was retained. It is likely that diurnal temperature priming could be adapted to large volumes of seed.
