摘要
本文研究了升高环境温度对小粉虫(Alphitobiusdiaperinus,鞘翅目拟步行虫总科)末龄幼虫、蛹以及成虫的失水和热敏性(临界热极值,Criticalthermalmaximum,CTmax)的影响。小粉虫成虫和蛹的CTmax值显著低于末龄幼虫(末龄幼虫:CTmax=48.5±0.5℃;蛹:CTmax=48.0±0.9℃;成虫:CTmax=47.8±1.1℃)。此外,成虫的适应性对其CTmax没有显著的影响。在20至60℃连续记录失水值中,三个龄期之间存在显著差异。随着超过临界点温度(约为40℃)的快速升高,末龄幼虫与成虫的失水程度相近。蛹具有明显低的失水速率,即使在温度高于40℃的情况下。当温度升高10℃时(25-35℃),会造成小粉虫蛹和成虫失水增加2.0倍和2.6倍,分别为:Q10=2.05±0.70和2.49±1.31,而幼虫则为3.52±1.27。当高于35-45℃时,幼虫和成虫失水增加甚快(Q10=6.85±1.90和8.51±2.32)。而蛹在高于35-45℃时失水也增加(Q10=3.76±1.83),但低于幼虫和成虫。小粉虫的蛹处于静止和不取食状态,代谢速率较低,其具有特殊结构的气孔能较好地保持关闭状态,且蛹的表皮由脂肪和蛋白质组成。
Effect of increasing ambient temperature on water loss and thermosensibility (critical thermal maximum, CTmax) was examined in last instar larvae, pupae and adults of Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). CTmax was significantly lower in adults and pupae than in last instar larvae (last instar larvae: CTmax = 48.5 ± 0.5℃ , pupae: CTmax= 48.0 ± 0.9℃ , adult: CTmax = 47.8 ± 1. 1℃ ). Moreover, acclimation had no significant impact on adult CTmax. Water loss was recorded continuously between 20 and 60℃ and differed significantly among the three developmental stages. Last instar larvae and adults exhibited similar water losses with a sharp increase above a critical transition temperature (CTT), which is about 40℃ . In pupae, a significantly lower rate of water loss was found, even above 40℃ . An increase of 10℃ (25 - 35℃ ) induced a 2.0 and 2.6-fold increase of the water loss in pupae and adults of A. diaperinus ( Q10 = 2.05 ± 0.70 and 2.49 ± 1.31, respectively) vs. 3.52 ± 1.27 in larvae. Water loss was strongly increased over the range 35 45℃ in larvae and adults ( Q10 = 6.85 ± 1.90 and 8.51 ± 2.32). In pupae, Q10 was also increased over the range 35- 45℃ (Q10 = 3.76 ± 1.83), but less than in larvae and adults. In A .diaperinus pupae, characterized by motionless without feeding ability, lower metabolic rate, better ability to keep the spiracles closed more often thanks to a specific structure, and the cuticular composition (surface lipids and proteins) may explain the reduced water loss [Acta Zoologica Sinica 52 (1): 79-86, 2006].
