玉泉观站外来树种栽植区昆虫种类调查研究

2004年甘肃省天水市秦州区林业局玉泉观站引进了5种外来树种,分别是:美国杏李(Prunus domestica×P. armeniaca)、美国东部黑核桃(Juglans nigra)、四倍体刺槐(Robinia pseudoacacia Linn.)、树莓(Rubus sp.)和无刺大果沙棘(Hippophae rhamnoides)。为了确定有无外来物种入侵,2006年对玉泉观站外来树种栽植区进行昆虫种类调查,采用手工捕捉结合网捕的方法采集昆虫标本,经鉴定分析共有45种昆虫,其中有害虫31种,分属于5目21科;天敌昆虫14种,分属于5目11科,种类最多的是鞘翅目昆虫,分别占害虫总数和天敌昆虫总数的35.5%和35.7%。45种昆虫均为当地种,说明引进外来树种没有造成外来物种入侵。     

辽宁北票中侏罗世海房沟组水生生物群落

辽宁北票盆地中侏罗世海房沟组含丰富的生物化石，其中的水生昆虫、水生植物、叶肢介、水生软体动物和鱼类共同构成一个复杂的水生生物群落。根据其营养水平划分为生产者、消费者和分解者。这些生物通过捕食关系构成一个复杂的食物链     

鄂尔多斯盆地南部昆虫化石

鄂尔多斯盆地南部下白垩统环河－华池组昆虫化石，共有９个属种，其中有３个新属５个新种，包括未正式发表的１个属种的模式标本。这些昆虫化石在鄂尔多斯盆地是首次发现与公布的，不但丰富了该盆地的化石门类，也为地层划分与对比提供了新资料。

The Insect Oviposition Firstly Discovered on the Middle Jurassic Ginkgoales Leaf from Inner Mongolia,China

Although the evidence of insect oviposition on plant organs has been reported from the late Paleozoic to the Miocene, record from the middle Jurassic is still blank. This paper reports a significant evidence of insect oviposition on plant leaf from the middle Jurassic for the first time. The ovipositional scar is distributed on the abaxial surface of Sphenobaiera leaf（Ginkgoales） from the middle Jurassic Daohugou Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. A new ichnospecies Paleoovoidus venustus sp. nov. is described. The scar is elliptic to oval, arranged in longitudinal rows between leaf veins with almost regular distance, with its long axis paralleling to the leaf venation. This discovery adds new information to the morphology of insect endophytic oviposition probably produced by Odonata existed in a terrestrial ecosystem ~165 Ma ago. The new materials also provide important data for the study of insect reproductive biology, plant-insect interaction and coevolution, as well as understanding the paleoclimate and palaeoenvironment during that time in northeast China.     

前世记忆不灭

鳞翅目昆虫（包括蚕蛾和蝴蝶）的发育过程有三个阶段：幼虫、蛹、成虫。在成为蚕蛾和蝴蝶之前，它们将经历由幼虫到蛹的化蛹过程，以及由蛹到成虫的变态过程。百年来，科学家一直对鳞翅目昆虫在变态过程之后的记忆变化颇有兴趣。变态过程对昆虫而言是一个根本性的变化，发生变化的不仅是身体形态，还包括生存方式。

ZLC制式的问世使雷达昆虫学的发展方向出现重大转折，往常对昆虫迁出活动的短期，集中的观测将被对迁入事件的长期监测所取代，全自动运行，雷达信号的即时分析与处理使得迁飞性害早的灾变预警可望实现，简要述评了ZLC制式雷达的特性及其在中国的应用前景。     

Mercury distribution and accumulation in typical wetland ecosystems of Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China

Total mercury in soil,water,plant,insects,fishes and bird feathers were determined to study mercury distribution and accumulation in typical wetland ecosystems in the Sanjiang Plain,Northeast China.Results show that total mercury concentrations in soils of Deyeuxia angustifolia wetland and Carex lascarpa wetland are 0.046 mg/kg and 0.063 mg/kg,respectively.Total mercury concentration in water bodies is 0.053 μg/L on average.Of four plants studied,total mercury in moss is the highest with the mean of 0.132 mg/kg.Of 10 terrestrial insect species studied,total mercury in centipede(Scolopendra spp.) is the highest with the mean of 0.515 mg/kg while total mercury in grasshopper(Oxya spp.) bodies is the lowest.Total mercury concentrations in the herbivorous,omnivorous and predatory insects are 10.18 ng/g,16.47 ng/g and 213.35 ng/g on average,respectively.Total mercury concentrations of the adult feather(549.88 ± 63.04 ng/g),nestling feather(55.15 ± 23.53 ng/g),and eggshell(22.05 ± 5.96 ng/g) of the Grey heron(Ardea cinerea) are higher than those of the Great egret(Egretta alba)(adult feather:446.57 ± 90.89 ng/g;nestling feather:32.99 ± 17.15 ng/g;eggshell:21.02 ± 3.17 ng/g) in the wetlands of the Sanjiang Plain.The bioconcentration factors decrease in the order of piscivorous fish muscle > omnivorous fish muscle > herbivorous fish > insect.
