Ants feeding on anal exudate from tortricid larvae: a new type of trophobiosis

A new type of trophobiosis between tortricid larvae of a hitherto unknown genus and species, and various ant species of the subfamilies Formicinae, Dolichoderinae and Myrmicinae, was found in Malaysia. The larvae live in silken shelters fixed to the leaves of bamboo. In response to mechanical stimuli from the ants, they discharge from the anus a liquid containing sugar and amino acids and/or protein. The tortricid is described as Semutophila saccharopa gen. nov., sp. nov.; a second species, S. susurra sp. nov., is described from New Guinea.     

A second sexually dimorphic neotropical species of Macrophthalmothrips (Thysanoptera; Phlaeothripidae)

Macrophthalmothrips kiesteri sp. nov. is described from Costa Rica and Panama with remarkably enlarged fore legs in the males. This sexual dimorphism, involving male allometry and probably male competition, is apparently plesiomorphic in the genus. Reasons are given for considering the typical condition found in neotropical Macrophthalmothrips species, with both sexes having similar slender fore legs, to be apomorphic. The sister species of kiesteri is considered to be allops Hood from Belem, and these two with diasi Hood from Sao Paulo comprise a distinctive species-group.

Female-limited polymorphism and its significance in Appias (Catophaga) nero corazonae Schröder and Treadaway, 1989 (Lepidoptera: Pieridae)

Diagnostic characters are presented for Appias nero corazonae, a pierid butterfly from the Sulu Archipelago, Philippines, that exhibits female-limited polymorphism. The potential significance of A. n. corazonae for genetic investigations into Darwinian transference, the hypothetical process whereby bright colouration first evolves in the males of a species and is later ‘transferred’ to the females, is discussed.     

Gene flow from genetically modified herbicide-resistant rapeseed to cruciferous weeds

The sexual compatibility between genetically modified (GM) glyphosate-resistant rapeseed variety Q3 (Brassica napus L.) and 5 cruciferous weeds is studied through the observation of fluorescence microscopy and cross-fertility after manual pollination. The results indicated that Q3 (as male) was highly incompatible with Thlaspi arvense L., Capsella bursa?pastoris (L.) Medic, Cardamine hirsuta L. and Rorippa palustris (L.) Besser (as female). Fluorescence microscopic observation showed that growing of pollen tubes terminated on the stigma surface or at the upper 1/3 part of the style. However, B. juncea×Q3 was compatible, and the compatibility index was 1.65. Under the neighboring growth and natural pollination conditions, the rates of gene flow from Q3 to T. arvense, C. bursa-pastoris, C. hirsute and R. palustris were all 0, while it was 0.86% for B. juncea. These results indicate that there is difference in the rate of gene flow between GM rapeseed and cruciferous wild weeds, and frequency of gene flow is highly correlated with sexual compatibility.

基于Recurdyn的移动机器人倾覆性分析

针对履带式移动机械臂在运动过程中可能存在倾覆性的问题,以自制的履带式移动机械臂为研究对象,从动力学的角度研究机械臂的运动对移动平台攀爬楼梯过程中的影响,提出了一种机械臂主动改变位姿以维持系统稳定性的算法。首先,采用牛顿-欧拉法建立机械臂动力学方程,通过Solidworks三维软件辨识机械臂各连杆的惯性参数集,得到完整的机械臂动力学方程;其次,对移动平台进行受力分析,采用轮胎倾覆力矩(tire overturning moment, TOM)法衡量移动机械臂的倾覆裕度,判断系统的倾覆可能性;最后,采用Recurdyn仿真软件进行履带式移动机械臂攀爬楼梯仿真实验,仿真实验结果表明：移动平台在攀爬楼梯过程中,其TOM值逐渐增大,系统趋于不稳定状态;当机械臂改变位姿以维持系统平衡时,移动平台的TOM值逐渐减小,系统趋于稳定状态。可见,所提算法可以用来判断移动机械臂系统的倾覆可能性,同时机械臂可以主动改变位姿维持系统的稳定性,为移动机械臂运动稳定性状态的维持提供了有效的手段。     

女性主义的话语政治

女性主义从＂性政治＂的角度,对渗透在话语领域的性歧视和性压迫展开批判。无论是英美女性主义还是法国女性主义者,她们都认为女性必须要发明一种属于自己的语言,以此来颠覆男性霸权,进而反抗资本主义的意识形态。当然,这种建构女性语言的主张又具有女性本质主义的局限,女性主义的话语革命还可以在反对性别本质主义的层面上做出新的探索。
