摘要: 【目的】猎物质量和类型在捕食者食物选择、消耗及营养转化过程中起着重要作用,植物的营养质量影响植食者的营养质量,进而植食者作为捕食者猎物的营养质量。为进一步了解植物-猎物-捕食者三营养层的相互作用,研究了寄主植物对捕食者食物消耗与利用的影响。【方法】在室内评价了多异瓢虫Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) 4龄幼虫和雌成虫取食和利用 5种不同葫芦科植物上的棉蚜 Aphis gossypii Glover的效率。【结果】多异瓢虫4龄幼虫和成虫均对南瓜Cucurbita moschata var. melonaeformis上的蚜虫取食量最高,而对瓢葫芦Lagenaria siceraria var. gourda上的蚜虫取食量最低。4龄幼虫取食哈密瓜 Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis上的蚜虫时,其相对生长率、食物利用率和食物转化率均达到最大,而雌成虫在取食黄瓜Cucumis sativus和搅瓜Cucurbita pepo var. medullosa上的蚜虫时,其相对生长率不存在显著差异,在取食黄瓜、瓢葫芦和搅瓜上的蚜虫时,其食物利用率和食物转化率也不存在显著差异。因此,哈密瓜上的瓜蚜更适宜作为多异瓢虫4龄幼虫的猎物,而黄瓜、瓢葫芦和搅瓜上的瓜蚜更适宜作为成虫的猎物。【结论】寄主植物种类与多异瓢虫对棉蚜的捕食效率相关,该结论为进一步利用昆虫的食性对害虫进行控制奠定理论基础。

Abstract: 【Aim】 The quality and type of a prey play key roles in selection, consumption and trophic transfer efficiencies by its predators. The nutritional quality of a plant can affect that of the herbivore, which in turn can affect the herbivore’s nutritional quality as the prey for predators. In order to further understand the tritrophic interaction among host plants, preys and predators, the effects of the prey’s host plant species on the predator were investigated. 【Methods】 The effects of the prey’s host plant species on the predator were assessed by studying the consumption and utilization of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae), reared on five species of Cucurbitaceae by the 4th instar larvae and female adults of Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). 【Results】 The food consumption was the highest for the 4th instar larvae and the female adults of H. variegata when they were fed on the cotton aphids reared on Cucurbita moschata var. melonaeformis. The food consumption was the lowest for the 4th instar larvae and female adults of H. variegata when they were fed on the cotton aphids reared on Lagenaria siceraria var. gourda. The relative growth rate (RGR), efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) and efficiency of conversion of digested food (ECD) were the highest for the 4th instar larvae of H. variegata when they were fed on the cotton aphids from Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis. The RGR did not differ significantly in female adults of H. variegata when they were fed on the cotton aphids reared on C. sativus and C. pepo var. medullosa, while the ECI and ECD did not differ significantly when they were fed on the cotton aphids reared on C. sativus, L. siceratia var. gourda and C. pepo var. medullosa. Therefore, the cotton aphids reared on C. melo var. cantalupensis are more suitable preys for the 4th instar larvae of H. variegata, whereas those reared on C. sativus, L. siceratia var. gourda and C.pepo var. medullosa are more suitable preys for the female adults. 【Conclusion】 The predation efficiency of H. variegata on the cotton aphids is related to the host plant species. This result makes a theoretical foundation for further using the feeding habits of an insect to control insect pests.
