简介:2011年9-11月采用系统抽样和随机抽样相结合的方法,对邛海湿地境内5个采样点进行蝗虫(OrthopteraAcridoidea)采集,共获标本1280个,采集到的蝗虫隶属于3科12种。其中,花胫绿纹蝗(Aiolopustamulus)、中华稻蝗(Oxyachinensis)和疣蝗(Trilophidiaannulata)为优势种。5个采样点中,梦里水乡的蝗虫物种数最多,其他依次为焦家村、核桃村、小渔村和青龙寺。就蝗虫个体数而言,各采样点间存在显著差异(p〈0.05),焦家村和小渔村的蝗虫数量显著高于其他采样点。蝗虫的丰富度指数和多样性指数在核桃村都最高,在小渔村和青龙寺最低。蝗虫的优势度指数在梦里水乡最高,其次为焦家村和核桃村。蝗虫的均匀度指数分析表明,各采样点间差异较小。单因素方差分析发现,各采样点间各指数差异不显著。相似性分析结果显示,小渔村和焦家村达到极相似水平,青龙寺和焦家村、核桃村和小渔村之间的相似性系数最低。生境分析表明,邛海湿地中农田生境更适宜蝗虫的生长和繁殖。水分、植被和产卵地是影响邛海湿地蝗虫种类的重要因素。
