  1. The Asian longhorn beetle (ALB) Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky is a destructive invasive species worldwide. Female ALB produce a pheromone component, α-longipinene, in the genitalia. However, the origin and factors, such as age, mating, adult feeding and host plant, influencing the production of this compound are unclear.
  2. Our results showed that virgin female ALB consistently produced α-longipinene at various ages after feeding for several days post eclosion, but unfed adult females never produced this compound. Mating significantly reduced the amount of α-longipinene in female genitalia.
  3. α-Longipinene was the most dominant compound in the volatiles emitted by females, but not in those emitted by males or host twigs (Acer pensylvanicum L.). The proportion of α-longipinene among the beetle-released sesquiterpenes that were known to be male antennally active was significantly greater than that emitted by ALB damaged, mechanically damaged or control twigs.
  4. These results suggest that ALB females probably derive α-longipinene or a precursor from hosts via adult feeding, and release it at a significantly different ratio from that found in host volatiles. The various ratios of α-longipinene produced by beetles and host twigs may encode information pertaining to multiple purposes such as aggregation, mate and host location.

交配和成虫摄食行为影响雌性亚洲长角甲虫 Anoplophora glabripennis(鞘翅目:天牛科)的信息素产生

  1. 亚洲长角牛甲虫 (ALB) Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky 是一种世界范围内的破坏性入侵物种。雌性 ALB 在生殖器中产生信息素成分 α-longipinene。然而,影响该化合物产生的起源和因素,如年龄、交配、成虫取食和寄主植物,尚不清楚。
  2. 我们的结果表明,在羽化后几天进食后,未进食的雌性 ALB 在不同年龄持续产生 α-长萜烯,但未进食的成年雌性从未产生这种化合物。交配显着减少了女性生殖器中 α-longipinene 的数量。
  3. α-Longipinene 是雌性释放的挥发物中最主要的化合物,但在雄性或寄主枝条(Acer pensylvanicum L. )释放的挥发物中不是最主要的化合物。在已知具有雄性触角活性的甲虫释放的倍半萜烯中,α-长萜烯的比例显着大于 ALB 受损、机械受损或对照枝条释放的比例。
  4. 这些结果表明,ALB 雌性可能通过成虫喂养从宿主中获得 α-longipinene 或前体,并以与宿主挥发物中发现的显着不同的比率释放它。甲虫和寄主树枝产生的 α-longipinene 的各种比例可能编码与多种目的有关的信息,例如聚集、交配和寄主位置。
