芒果切叶象(Deporaus marginatus Pascoe)生物学及防治研究

芒果切叶象在云南景谷湿热河谷种植区1年发生7-8代,世代重叠严重,以幼虫在芒果树冠下5-10cm深的表土中越冬。5月中、下旬至7月上、中旬为第1个发生为害高峰期;8月中、下旬至10月上、中旬为第2个发生为害高峰期。降低越冬代和第1代虫口基数,对控制后期发生为害至关重要。综合防治后,3年芒果树、象牙芒果树秋梢为害率分别由53.6%,57.3%降至7.4%,9.7%。

A morphologically variant natural population of cyprinids without dorsal fin possibly derived from Mystacoleucus marginatus (Osteichthyes: Teleostes) from the Lancang Jiang River, Yunnan, China

In July 2001, 15 grotesque cyprinid specimens were collected in the Lancangjiang River (of the upper reaches of the Mekong River) in Menglun Town, Xishuanbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province, PR China. These specimens are characterized by surprising characte

Mitochondrial DNA control region and cytochrome b sequence variation in the genus Mystacoleucus Gunther (Pisces : Cyprinidae : Barbinae) from China

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) hypervariable segment I sequences (HVSI, 471 bp) of the control region and partial cytochrome b sequences (Cytb, 403 bp) were analyzed in three tentative species of the genus Mystacoleucus in China (M. chilopterus, M. marginatus, and M. lepturus). Not more than two mutations were found in both the HVSI and Cytb fragments among the samples from M. chilopterus and M. marginatus. However, M. lepturus differed from each of them by at least 25 mutations in Cytb and 51 mutations in HVSI. Moreover, the HVSI sequence variation within M. lepturus was larger than that between M. chilopterus and M. marginatus. Given that M. chilopterus and M. marginatus are very similar in morphology, it is reasonable to consider M. chilopterus and M. marginatus as conspecific. Our results also suggest a recent radiation of M. marginatus from downstream to upstream of the Lancangjiang (Mekong) River.
