中文摘要:
在云南西双版纳热带地区,一种还未被描述属和种的瘿蚊寄生于垂叶榕果内的雌花子房里,并膨大形成虫瘿,靠取食花胚组织完成发育。通过 2010年定时定点的系统观察和研究瘿蚊的发生规律,结果发现:该种瘿蚊在垂叶榕上发生频率较高,抽样的 18批果有 17批被瘿蚊寄生,其中有 13批果的寄生比率超过了 60%,部分甚至达到 100%。瘿蚊寄生雌花的平均比率不超过 6%,平均每个榕果内有瘿蚊 1~40只不等。瘿蚊寄生不仅降低了垂叶榕的种子数,还致命性地影响着传粉榕小蜂的繁殖。在对瘿蚊的羽化、交配行为及其成虫的活动规律观察中,结果显示:寄生在一个榕果里瘿蚊需要 5~7 d才能羽化完,其羽化高峰期出现在第 2~3天;一天内羽化的高峰出现在上午 8:00—10:00及晚上 20:00—0:00;而羽化后瘿蚊活动高峰期出现在上午 8:00—11:00。雄蚊会帮助雌蚊离开榕果并优先获得交配权,雌蚊交配后飞离繁殖自身的榕树,去寻找适合产卵的榕果繁殖后代,雄蚊不离开羽化树,而死在繁殖自身的榕树附近。这些结果为深入研究瘿蚊的防治技术提供了科学依据。

英文摘要:
In Xishuangbanna tropical region,an undescribed species of gall midge on Ficus benjamina lays its eggs in the ovary of female flowers,producing a large gall in which the larva feeds on the gall’s tissue to complete its life cycle. We investigated the occurrence of gall midge onF. benjamina through systematic sampling at a fixed time and location in2010. Eighteen crops were sampled and gall midges found to occur in 17 of them. The percentage of figs attacked by gall midges was over 60% in 13 of the crops,reaching as high as 100%. Gall midges parasitized only up to 6% of femaleflowers and on average produced fewer than forty individuals in a single fig. The occurrence of gall midges reduced the number of seeds produced and had a deadly effect on the reproductionof pollinators. We observed the behaviour of eclosion,mating and flight of the gall midge. We found that all gall midges colonizing a single fig took 5—7 days to complete eclosion,and that the eclosion peak appeared in the 2 nd —3rd. In one day,eclosion peaks occured at 8:00— day

10:00 in the morning and 8:00—12:00 at night. The peak of activity after eclosion was at 8:00—11:00 in the morning.Male gall midges emerged first and assisted female gall midges to emerge. Once a female had emerged,a male would matewith her. Female gall midges left the natal fig trees after mating to search for appropriate trees for egg-laying. However, after mating,male gall midges died under the natal trees. Our results provide a basis for future study of the technology ofgall midge control.
