'Pheromone-like' compounds in the cuticle of aquatic Chironomus larva

Chironomid midges are the most commonly found dipteran insects in all types of aquatic ecosystems. Cuticular extract was bio-assayed, and it exhibited enhanced attraction to the larvae. Therefore, it was subsequently analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Two compounds were identified as farnesol and farnesene. Bioassay of farnesol indicated its attractive properties. The components present in the cuticular extract can, therefore, be considered as pheromone-like compounds.     

Anomalies of mouthparts in Rana arvalis Nilss tadpoles and ecological conditions providing for their emergence

Rana arvalis tadpoles reared under natural or experimental conditions have been studied to analyze anomalies in the development of mouthparts and to compile a catalog of corresponding characters. It has been shown that the frequency of these anomalies increases in the course of growth and development and that their manifestations differ in tadpoles from different spawns and depend on environmental conditions. In turn, anomalies of the mouthparts have an effect on the rate of larval growth and development and on the survival of tadpoles in the period of the metamorphic climax. The results of this study provide an explanation for some deviations observed in laboratory experiments.     

Protective effect of weak pulsed magnetic fields on early ontogeny of tugun Coregonus tugun (Pallas) under conditions of chronic oil pollution

The state of internal organs in tugun larvae was analyzed histologically in the intact (control) group, the group treated with a water-soluble oil fraction (WSOF) in fivefold excess over the maximum allowable concentration, and the group exposed in a weak pulsed magnetic field at the stage of hatching, prior to treatment with WSOF. Larvae of the second group had severe pathologies of inner organs that caused 100% mortality before the age of 15 days, but no pathomorphological changes in the organs of larvae and juvenile fish of the third group were revealed for up to 40 days. Probable causes of high resistance to the toxic agent in fish of the experimental group are discussed.     

两种N源对石油烃降解菌群降解柴油能力的影响

分别以酵母膏作为有机N源,(NH4)2SO4作为无机N源,在含N量相同(70 mmol/L)的条件下,按接种量2%,柴油1%,25℃,150 r/min摇床恒温培养,对海洋石油烃降解菌群进行了为期30 d 的液体摇瓶降解实验,通过GC-MS测定和分析,对柴油中正烷烃的降解情况进行了对比研究.结果表明,对柴油含量为1%的培养液,应用这两种不同N源,降解菌群对正烷烃的最终降解效果相同,均能完全降解,但有机N源只需3 d 时间就能完全降解正烷烃,比无机N源的降解时间短10倍多.因此,酵母膏对柴油的微生物降解具有极大的促进作用.     

污水处理系统中摇蚊幼虫的控制方法

摇蚊幼虫在水处理系统中经常出现大量繁殖,造成污水处理管道堵塞,因此对摇蚊虫的控制近来受到越来越广泛重视。对国内外现有的有关摇蚊幼虫的研究与控制方法进行了较系统论述。     

鳗鲡仔鱼(Anguilla japonica Temn. et Schl.)对铜离子的回避反应

本文力图用回避实验的方法分析铜离子对闽江鳗鲡及其他水产资源的影响。实验在流水中进行,温度为16±0.5℃,pH为7.43±0.2,溶解氧为62-68.9%;鱼体长为46-69.5mm,重量为174.2-226.6mg;每一浓度测试20次。当浓度为0.0001ppm时,回避度为12.81%;浓度为0.016ppm时,有明显的回避反应,回避度为58.28%;浓度升至0.064ppm时,回避度84.74%,为完全回避。     

Effects of increased content of leaf surface flavonoids on the performance of mountain birch feeding sawflies vary for early and late season species

Summary. The effects of artificially added flavonoid aglycones to birch leaf surfaces on the larval performance of six species of leaf-chewing sawflies were investigated. Significantly negative effects of increased contents of both total flavonoid and individually fed flavonoid compounds were found for the larval performance of certain mid to late and late, but not early season, sawfly species. Species-specific variations in the quantity of faecal flavonoid glycosides, which were examined to investigate whether effective glycosylation of foliar flavonoid aglycones in larvae correlated with varying tolerance to these compounds, also yielded significant species-specific differences between early and late season species. The results suggest seasonal adaptations in host plant use by sawflies feeding on mountain birch, such that phenologically earlier species are better adapted to coping with leaf surface flavonoid aglycones, which occur in the highest concentrations in young leaves.     

4种新型杀虫剂对黄色羽摇蚊(Chironomus flaviplumus)老熟幼虫的急性毒性

测定了峰升(15%杀单·唑磷乳油)、稻卫(20.2%阿维·唑磷乳油)、蚜螨克星(1.8%阿维·吡乳油)和蔬卫(2.4%高氯·阿维乳油)4种新型杀虫剂对黄色羽摇蚊(Chironomus flaviplumus)老熟幼虫的急性毒性.结果表明:峰升处理黄色羽摇蚊幼虫后24 h,不同浓度间的存活率无显著差异,而在其他时间段(48、72、96 h),随着杀虫剂浓度的增加,存活率逐渐下降.其他3种杀虫剂处理黄色羽摇蚊幼虫4 d,随着杀虫剂浓度的增加,每天的存活率也呈下降趋势.峰升、稻卫、蚜螨克星和蔬卫对黄色羽摇蚊幼虫48 h的LCs0分别为0.1735、0.0249、0.0015和0.0046 mg·L-1.蚜螨克星毒性最高,毒性在同一数量级的还有蔬卫,其次为稻卫.峰升毒性最低,但仍属高毒杀虫剂.     

啤酒废酵母的综合利用

啤酒废酵母含有丰富的营养物质，许多啤酒厂并没有充分利用，而是作为废弃物排入啤酒废水，增加了啤酒废水的处理负荷和难度。针对这种情况，我们利用本厂啤酒废酵母进行了生产酵母抽提物及营养酱油的研究，取得了满意的效果。不仅获得了优质产品，而且大大降低了啤酒酵母的污染负荷。     

华山松松茎象幼虫的危害及其防治研究

华山松松茎象是南岳景区松树上新发现的一种重要害虫,该虫严重危害华山松和黑松.本文介绍了其幼虫的取食危害特点及防治方法.该虫幼虫取食华山松和黑松的韧皮部,同时取食新鲜的松脂,越冬后的幼虫仅靠取食新鲜松脂就能正常发育,并化蛹、羽化.单株虫口数量与松树树干基部直径呈明显正相关,即树干基部直径在10.0~20.0 cm 、20.1~25.0 cm 、25.1~35.0 cm之间的松树,平均单株有虫数量分别为1.0头株-1、1.98头株-1和3.30头.株-1.在5~10月间,采用人工清除幼虫的方法可有效地控制该虫的危害,采用化学药剂防治该虫效果不明显.
