摘要

夜行性萤火虫的性交流一直被认为完全是通过生物发光来实现的,生物发光取代了昼行性物种使用的信息素。虽然有些萤火虫被怀疑使用联合信号,但这种观点至今没有得到经验证据的支持,这些物种更多地被视为异常值。在这项研究中,我们调查了一种夜间活动的萤火虫 Lamprohiza splendidula(林奈,1767 年)的视觉和嗅觉性交流能力。在四种不同的实验处理中,我们记录了雄性萤火虫寻找雌性萤火虫的行为并进行了分类。仅使用信息素的处理吸引的雄性明显多于对照组,从而证实了该物种在性交流中对信息素的利用。这项研究首次直接证明了萤火虫对信息素和生物发光的综合利用,驳斥了夜间物种求偶时只利用光的假说。我们推断,这种生活策略可能是整个萤火虫属固有的,也可能是所有萤火虫物种共有的。

Beyond the glow: proving the unity of pheromones and bioluminescent signals in glow-worm firefly courtship
Sexual communication in nocturnal fireflies has been presumed to be facilitated exclusively by bioluminescence, which has replaced the pheromones used by diurnal species. Although some fireflies are suspected of using combined signalling, this view has so far not been supported by empirical evidence, and these species have been viewed more as outliers. In this study, we have investigated the visual and olfactory capability of sexual communication of a night-active glow-worm firefly Lamprohiza splendidula (Linnaeus, 1767). We recorded and categorized the behaviour of searching males in reaction to four different experimental treatments, in which the females could be located based solely on visual or olfactory cues or a combination of the two. The pheromone-only treatment attracted significantly more males than the control, thus confirming pheromone utilization in sexual communication of this species. This work represents the first direct evidence of combined pheromone and bioluminescence use in fireflies and refutes the hypothesis of exclusive use of light in courtship of the nocturnal species. We theorize that this life strategy is likely to be inherent in the whole genus and possibly common in all glow-worm firefly species.

期刊介绍: The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society publishes papers on systematic and evolutionary zoology and comparative, functional and other studies where relevant to these areas. Studies of extinct as well as living animals are included. Reviews are also published; these may be invited by the Editorial Board, but uninvited reviews may also be considered. The Zoological Journal also has a wide circulation amongst zoologists and although narrowly specialized papers are not excluded, potential authors should bear that readership in mind.
