中文摘要 | 本試驗假設菱角Trapa natans 葉子能增加水黽數量,進而增加葉甲Galerucella niponensis 之被捕食壓力,故此現象顯示水黽與菱角間可能具共生關係;因此本試驗 由下列四方面進行研究:(1) 菱角葉是否能吸引水黽?(2) 雌水黽是否偏好菱角葉做 為產卵處,即使是以聚苯乙烯製作之假菱角葉?(3) 水黽是否能取食葉甲之胚胎及第 一、二、三齡之幼蟲?(4) 菱角是否能增加水黽越冬之存活率及次年春季之繁殖活動? 試驗結果顯示,菱角葉能吸引水黽,特別是被葉甲傷害之菱角葉;即便有其他浮水植 物,如水鱉Hydrocharis dubia 或樟樹Cinnamomum camphora 落葉,雌蟲仍偏好 假菱角葉作為產卵處;水黽成蟲能取食葉甲胚胎,若蟲亦能有效率的捕食葉甲幼蟲; 當試驗組之水黽與菱角葉共存,越冬存活率達90.7% 且存活時間達三個月;然對照 組水黽與假菱角葉共存,其存活率僅81.5%;試驗組水黽在次年春季來臨後之52 日 內,共產217 顆卵;而對照組水黽在春季來臨後之38 日內,產132 顆卵;故可推論 水黽Gerris nepalensis 藉由捕食葉甲Galerucella niponensis 之方式與菱角Trapa natans 達成共生關係。 |
英文摘要 | It is hypothesized that the presence of water caltrop, Trapa natans leaves increases the number of Gerris nepalensis in its habitat and at the same time increases the foraging pressure on the leaf beetle, Galerucella nipponensis. This tends to support a possible symbiotic relationship of G. nepalensis to T. natans. The four questions in this study and their answers are as follows. 1) Can leaves of T. natans attract G. nepalensis? Based on the four experiments in this study, G. nepalensis was attracted to leaves of T. natans, especially those injured by the beetle, Gl. nipponensis. Even filter paper treated with liquids extracted from the leaves of T. natans injured by the beetle, Gl. nipponensis was preferred by G. nepalensis. 2) Do females of G. nepalensis prefer leaves from T. natans for their oviposition substrates over substrates made from other floating plants? When presented with artificial leaves made from polystyrene mimicking leaves of T. natans and other species of water floating plants such as Hydrocharis dubia and the fallen leaves of the camphor tree, Cinnamomum camphora, the females of G. nepalensis chose the artificial T. natans leaves as their oviposition substrates. Moreover when presented with real T. natans leaves and the artificial ones, they chose the real ones as their substrates. 3) Can G. nepalensis kill Gl. nipponensis by eating their embryos and the first, second and third instar larvae? Based on the survival rate, it is evident that adult G. nepalensis kill the embryos of Gl. nipponensis, and the later nymph stages of G. nepalensis can kill the younger stages of Gl. nipponensis very efficiently. 4) Is the success rate of overwintering and the reproductive activity that follows in the next spring enhanced by the accompanying of G. nepalensis with T. natans prior to overwintering? In the experimental group, in which G. nepalensis were accompanied with leaves of T. natans for 2 weeks before overwintering, 90.7% of the adult G. nepalensis survived and overwintered for 3 months. This was a little bit higher than the 81.5% survival rate by the control group, in which G. nepalensis were accompanied with artificial T. natans |
