江汉平原47号钻孔中的化石硅藻及其在古环境分析上的意义

江汉平原47号钻孔,位于湖北省江汉平原的江陵县,在其上段的46.6-2.2m层位上,有丰富的化石硅藻,约有26属148种,其中绝大多数是现存的淡水种类,并以附生性、沿岸带和浅水性的种类为主。种类较多的属有:Navicula(28种)、Cymbella(23种)、Achnanthes(15种)、Gomphonema(14种)和Eunotia(13种)。主要种类有Gomphonema tropicale var. nonpunctatum、Cyclotella comta、Cocconeis placemula vat. lineata和Stephanodiscus dubius等。硅藻中的种数(种/层)和数量(个/每克干沉积物)经历了一个从无到有、由少到多再逐渐减少直至消失的过程。这反映了水体环境也相应地经历了一个漫长的变迁过程:河流(可能是长江古道)→边滩和河漫滩→泛滥平原的积水洼地(湖泊或沼泽)→水体变深加宽→水体消失。从不同沉积相中各种类型(适酸碱度不同)的硅藻比例(即硅藻种谱),可以推测当时水体的酸碱度的变化不大,在中性或中性偏碱的范围。由化石硅藻并结合孢粉的矿物分析,可以推测当时硅藻大量生长繁殖时期的水温较凉,气候可能偏冷。硅藻的数量与沉积物的平均粒度呈明显的相关性,硅藻的种数与沉积物的平均粒度也呈明显的相关性。     

一个新化石种的发现及其意义

东北地区是我国非金属矿——硅藻土矿蕴藏量非常丰富的地区之一, 其中吉林省又是三省之冠。中新长茅藻Actinella miocenica Li, sp。nov.就发现在敦化地区新生界盆地的硅藻土矿层中。硅藻土矿在敦化地区主要分布在高松树、秋梨沟一带, 在两处的硅藻土中, 都保存了丰富的硅藻植物化石, 中新长茅藻就是这些硅藻化石中的一个新化石种。     

江南区寒武—奥陶系牙形刺

江南区寒武、奥陶系界线附近的地层为碳酸盐岩连续沉积,化石较多。笔者先后在江西武宁(1981)、安徽宁国(1982)、湖南桃源和慈利(1983)等地实测了寒武、奥陶系界线剖面,并采集了牙形刺、笔石和三叶虫等化石。经室内初步研究,在安徽宁国界线剖面上,除产笔石外,在所采集的40个样品中均未处理出牙形刺。其余两个地区的剖面内均产有牙形刺、笔石和三叶虫化石。江南区牙形刺的序列及组合特征对寒武、奥陶系界线的讨论提供了较丰富的微体化石资料。

桂东仁义剖面吉维特阶上部的牙形石及腕足动物*

本文报道了在桂东仁义剖面中上泥盆统巴漆组中一段八十余米厚地层中发现的牙形石3属10种(包括亚种)和腕足动物16属17种(包括属种未定类型).根据牙形石的组合分布,识别出Schmidtognathus hermanni带、Polygnathus cristatus带和Klapperina disparilis带上亚带,表明研究层段属于中泥盆统吉维特阶上部.该段地层顶底各有1层腕足化石富集层,代表了该剖面上2个不同的腕足动物化石组合.下化石层位于S.hermanni带内,主要由Leiorhynchus kwangsiensis组成,属种组成单一,其发现确认了Leiorhynchus在华南中泥盆统中的存在.上化石层位于K.disparilis带上亚带内,腕足动物属种组成众多,至少有15属,是目前已知在华南地区单个剖面上发现的吉维特阶上部腕足化石种类最多的化石层.在动物群组成上,以小嘴贝类分子占优,石燕贝类和无洞贝类次之,兼有其他类群,但缺乏无窗贝类.在标本数量上,以Gypiduia、Coeloterorhynchus和Spinatrypina等分子占优.     

基于硅藻功能群特征揭示海西海近现代生态环境变化

依据硅藻的形态、生理与生态特点而定义的功能群分类,可以更好地描述对湖泊环境胁迫的响应特征.本研究识别了海西海表层沉积物硅藻群的空间分布模式,并通过多指标分析探讨其与环境因子的关系.结果表明: 主成分分析和冗余分析,水深和沉积物总氮含量是硅藻功能群空间分布异质性的主要驱动因子;水深8 m左右可能是海西海硅藻出现功能群分异的阈值,与热力分层深度等湖泊水文特征相对应.上述表层沉积物硅藻功能群空间分布结果为沉积物化石记录的解释提供了依据.沉积物钻孔分析显示,近百年来海西海硅藻功能群呈现明显的阶段性波动,与年均气温、沉积物总氮含量、中值粒径等指标变化相对应.气候变暖、富营养化和水位上升是驱动海西海硅藻功能群长期变化的主要环境因子,协同促进了功能群D、P、MP占优势.硅藻功能群多样性变化的长期特征表明气候变暖和营养盐富集促进了硅藻功能群多样性的增加,而海西海1957年筑坝和1990年水库扩容两次典型水文调控显著增加了湖泊水深,导致硅藻功能群多样性降低.     

黔北早志留世晚期和中志留世笔石羣的发现及其意义

一、引言黔北龙马溪羣上部和石牛栏羣下部岩性相同,都是瘤状灰岩、灰岩偶夹页岩。过去从未发现过笔石,其中所含的珊瑚、三叶虫和腕足类化石研究亦较少。因而中、下志留统之间的确切界线一直未定。1963年暑期,我院黔北地层队在石阡枫香和思南凉水井分别测制了志留系剖面,特别注意中、下志留统的分界问题。除了采集大量珊瑚、三叶虫、腕足类等化石(尚在研究)以外,还发现了一些有价值的笔石。经鉴定后计有下列属种:(Stomatograptus sinensis sp.     

吉林浑江地区奥陶纪新厂阶笔石序列——兼论寒武-奥陶系界线

Two new heterakid (Nematoda) species from Kinixys erosa (Schweigger, 1812), (Chelonii: Testudinidae) in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Two species of Africana Tavassos, 1920 (Africana kinixysae n. sp. and Africana congoensis n. sp.) are described from Kinixys erosa (Schweigger, 1812) in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy studies revealed morphological differences in the structure of the male caudal end and cephalic end, which helped to differentiate these new species from the other species of the genus, and from each other. A key for determination of all species in the genus is provided.

Study on freshwater genus Peridinium (Dinophyta) from China

Peridinium is an important genus of freshwater armoured dinoflagellates with two more intercalary plates (sensu Bourrelly). A few species of Peridinium were known from China heretofore. The plate pattern is one of the important criteria for the taxonomy of Peridinium, and it was difficult to visualize their plate patterns under normal light microscope. For editing of Flora Algarum Sinicarum Aquae Dulcis, 11 species of Peridinium col-lected from various freshwater habitats of China are described. Among them, 6 species are first reported from China. They are P. gatunense Nygaard, P. gutwinskii Woloszynska, P. lomnickii Woloszynska, P. palatinum Lauterborn, P. striolatum Playfair, and P. zonatum Playfair. Epifluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and also light microscopy were employed for their structure and patterns of thecal plates.     

Pollen morphology of the genus Cornukaempferia (Zingiberaceae) in Thailand

Cornukaempferia is a recently described genus of Zingiberaceae which only occurs in Thailand as a rare genus with limited geographical distribution. Only three species have been described so far, including a recently described new species, C. larsenii. These three species are morphologically very similar and additional data on other biological aspects are useful for the elucidation of their relationship. Pollen morphology of all three species of genus Cornukaempferia has been studied by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The pollen grains are monad, spherical, inaperturate. The exine sculpture is echinate with psilate between the spines for C. aurantiflora and C. longipetiolata, or echinate with regulate between the spines for C. larsenii. This obser-vation helps support the taxonomic status of C. larsenii.     

The taxonomic significance of leaf micromorphology in the genus Eugenia L. (Myrtaceae)

Leaf micromorphological features of both the Old and New World representatives of Eugenia L. have been studied by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The leaves are hypostomatic and, in the majority of species, the stomata are raised above the epidermis. Trichomes are usually present on the abaxial surface of the New World species. The patterns of abaxial surface sculpturing and arrangement of outer stomatal rims are unique in the New World species. The majority of the Old W'orld species showed different anticlinal wall patterns on the adaxial and abaxial epidermises. In the majority of the New World species the anticlinal wall patterns are more or less the same except in E. axillaris. The paracytic type of stomata, with a non-prominent T-piece cutinization at the poles of the guard cells, is a characteristic feature of the New World species. The taxonomic significance of these features in identification and elucidation of species from both areas is discussed.     

Description and culture of a new succulenticolous Didymium (Myxomycetes)

A new succulenticolous Myxomycete species, Didymium wildpretii, found on decaying remains of various species of cacti, is described from two arid zones of the world. This species was collected from central Mexico, at the southern limit of the Chihuahuan Desert, and from the Canary Islands (Spain). The new species has small, pale yellow sporocarps, 0.1-0.7 mm high, that are sessile or have short, orange-yellow, calcareous stalks and small, uniformly warted spores. The stability of the taxonomic characters of the species was confirmed with both moist chamber cultures and spore-to-spore culture on agar. Life cycle events are described from germination to sporulation. Myxomycete specimens were examined with scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy, and micrographs of relevant morphological details are included.     

Deep‐branching Novel Lineages and High Diversity of Haptophytes in the Skagerrak (Norway) Uncovered by 454 Pyrosequencing

Microalgae in the division Haptophyta may be difficult to identify to species by microscopy because they are small and fragile. Here, we used high‐throughput sequencing to explore the diversity of haptophytes in outer Oslofjorden, Skagerrak, and supplemented this with electron microscopy. Nano‐ and picoplanktonic subsurface samples were collected monthly for 2 yr, and the haptophytes were targeted by amplification of RNA/cDNA with Haptophyta‐specific 18S ribosomal DNA V4 primers. Pyrosequencing revealed higher species richness of haptophytes than previously observed in the Skagerrak by microscopy. From ca. 400,000 reads we obtained 156 haptophyte operational taxonomic units (OTUs) after rigorous filtering and 99.5% clustering. The majority (84%) of the OTUs matched environmental sequences not linked to a morphological species, most of which were affiliated with the order Prymnesiales. Phylogenetic analyses including Oslofjorden OTUs and available cultured and environmental haptophyte sequences showed that several of the OTUs matched sequences forming deep‐branching lineages, potentially representing novel haptophyte classes. Pyrosequencing also retrieved cultured species not previously reported by microscopy in the Skagerrak. Electron microscopy revealed species not yet genetically characterised and some potentially novel taxa. This study contributes to linking genotype to phenotype within this ubiquitous and ecologically important protist group, and reveals great, unknown diversity.
