简介:这研究对比Papilioglaucus组,的四个成员的ovipositional侧面P。glaucus,P。multicaudatus,P。canadensis,和P。rutulus。我们使用了在七个植物家庭从主人包含叶子的产卵离子生物鉴定由P的成员利用了的七种选择。glaucus组。明确地,我们对比这些的全面ovipositional侧面种类和他们在一个新奇植物家庭的一位主人的接受(Populustremuloides:Salicaceae)并且在一个通常认为地祖先的寄植物家庭的一位主人(Liriodendrontulipifera:Magnoliaceae)。重要差别在P的ovipositional侧面之间被观察。glaucus和P。相对对方并且到P的multicaudatus。canadensis和P。rutulus。相反,没有重要差别在P的ovipositional侧面之间被观察。canadensis和P。rutulus,它也是接受了P的唯一的种类。tremuloides。不同于P的接受。tremuloides,L的接受。尽管有大多数的幼虫的无能,tulipifera在整个这个组是在场的在这个组到的种类利用这个宿主。当新奇主人应该被导出的人口仅仅接受时,这些结果支持“祖先的寄植物是可能的在ovipositional层次被保留的层次阀值模型”的预言。

简介:农业害虫的生物控制依靠agroecosystem功能的知识,特别地当由大量生产的生物代理人的使用影响了时。用分子底的途径合并象基因差异和结构那样的pre-或这些代理人的版本以后的信息能推进我们他们怎么在agroecosystems表演的知识。我们评估了Macrolophuspygmaeus的人口遗传,大多数广泛地在地中海区域对温室庄稼的许多节肢动物害虫使用了食肉的mirid用mitochondrialCytb顺序和microsatellite数据,并且人口遗传和发展史途径。我们调查了商业地大量生产的昆虫(即,在为许多代的实验室饲养团的商业昆虫任何一个,或由农民购买了并且在温室释放了)并且野昆虫(即,在外面自然地发生或在温室为版本在自然被收集)。mirids主要在solanaceous植物在北西班牙,南部的法国和希腊是成年的在agroecosystems被收集。分子的标记和途径区分了2张遗传上区分的人口。不太遗传上多样的人口,此后从实验室mass-rearings和商业地引起的个人的大多数版本把包括的商业紧张称为所有个人。最遗传上多样的人口主要包括了从noncultivated环境,或从野蛮个人的版本发源的个人。在M之间的杂交的稀罕例子。从2张人口的pygmaeus被观察,不对称的基因流动被揭示。这些调查结果提供进发生在M身上的新卓见。在我们学习了的agroecosystems释放的pygmaeus,和监视一些商业种类是可能的表演。
