贵州雷公山海南鳽繁殖记录

海南鳽（Gorsachius magnificus）隶属于鹈形目（Pelecaniformes）鹭科（Ardeidae）,为我国Ⅱ级重点保护野生动物。本文报道了2019年5月至9月海南鳽 在贵州雷公山自然保护区干脑村南柳河（26?16? N,108?06? E,海拔771 m）的繁殖情况。海南鳽巢址选择在常绿阔叶林中,营巢于高大、枝叶繁茂、枝桠较多并有很强隐蔽性的阔叶树上。结合发现海南鳽幼鸟在贵州雷公山自然保护区分布区的增加,我们认为在贵州雷公山地区应该至少有1或2个繁殖种群。本次记录是海南鳽在贵州省的首次繁殖记录。

十里香的染色体核型国内一直未见报道,利用根尖压片法对野菜十里香进行核型分析,统计观察了30个准确计数染色体根尖有丝分裂的中期细胞。实验结果表明：野菜十里香的染色体数为2n=22,其核型公式为2n=22=12m＋4sm＋6st。利用有丝分裂过程中的染色体核型,可明确区分马兰属植物在表现型上难以区别的类型。染色体数目、相对长度、着丝粒位置和随体有无等都可以作为马兰属植物的分类指标。     

海南鳽部分血液生理生化指标

应用血球分析仪和全自动生化分析仪测定了海南鳽的7项血液生理指标和33项血清生化指标.结果显示:海南鳽像兀鹫一样具有大型的红细胞,与已报道的白鹭、池鹭、夜鹭、彩鹳、石鸡等几种鸟类相比,其平均红细胞体积(MCV)和平均红细胞血红蛋白含量(MCH)较高,红细胞计数(RBC)、红细胞压积(HCT)和血红蛋白浓度(HGB)均较低;尿素(Urea)含量较高.有关红细胞的生理指标揭示了海南鳽的血液携氧能力较低.生化指标与其他鸟类的差异可能是由物种不同所致.

Uniformity of karyotypes in Ligularia (Asteraceae: Senecioneae), a highly diversified genus of the eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau highlands and adjacent areas

Ligularia , a highly diversified genus in the eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and adjacent areas, was chosen as a suitable subject in which to study speciation patterns in this 'hot spot' area at the chromosomal level. Chromosome numbers and karyotypes were studied in 23 populations of 14 species, most of which are endemic to this area. The basic number x  = 29 was confirmed for all species. Ligularia virgaurea was found to have diploid and triploid cytotypes, 2 n  = 58 and 87. Other species are only diploid, with 2 n  = 58. The karyotypes of all populations within any species, and all species spanning most sections and covering most of the morphological range in Ligularia , are very similar to each other, belonging to type 2A according to Stebbin's classification. This karyotype was also found in its close allies, e.g. Cremanthodium , Ligulariopsis , Parasenecio , and Sinacalia . Aneuploid reduction of chromosome number from 2 n  = 60 to 58 and karyotypic variation was found in Ligularia and its allies. Such a chromosomal pattern with few polyploids infers that variation of karyotype structure at the diploid level seems to be the predominant feature of chromosomal evolution in this group and sympatric speciation via hybridization and polyploidization has played a minor role in its species diversity.  © 2004 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2004, 144 , 329–342.     

Habitat selection in evolving mole rats

Summary The actively speciating four chromosomal species of fossorial mole rats of the Spalax ehrenbergi complex in Israel (2n=52, 58, 54 and 60) which inhabit an increasingly arid environment in this order were tested to determine their habitat preference. The testing apparatus simulated four climatic regimes based on temperature and humidity combinations corresponding to the climatic origins of the four chromosomal species: coolhumid, cool-dry, warm-humid and warm-dry, respectively. The tests involved 175 adults comprising all four chromosome species and representing 10 populations. Out of the 139 analyzed animals 88% selected the warm cages and only 12% selected the cool cages. The four karyotype progressively preferred the warm-dry cage in the following order: 53, 59, 60 and 72% for 2n=58, 52, 54 and 60 respectively, largely in accord with their increasingly arid climatic origins. Even larger differences were found in populations within karyotypes in accord with the local climatic variation within a karyotype range.The results of our analysis indicate that the chromosomal species and populations select their climatic habitat in accord with the climatic conditions of their geographic localities. The humidity index appears to be the prime differentiator of habitat selection and may have been a substantial ecological factor in species differentiation and distribution of the Spalax ehrenbergi complex in Israel.     

Implication of chromosomal analysis for the taxonomy of parasitic wasps (hymenoptera)

A review of principles for application of the morphology of the karyotype in the taxonomy of parasitic wasps is given. Specific character of the use of chromosomal characteristics at different taxonomic levels is determined. In the taxonomy of hymenopterans, the data on the morphology of the karyotype are the most important at the species level. By the taxonomic level and the degree of morphological isolation, closely related species of parasitic wasps, differing in the structure of chromosomal sets, can be subdivided into the following groups: well-distinguishable species; species with indistinct differences in the appearance (proper sibling species); morphologically identical populations; intrapopulation forms; specimens with spontaneous chromosomal mutations. It is suggested that chromosomal studies in the taxonomy of hymenopterans should be used as a method of express analysis of outdoor populations and laboratory strains of these insects.

The chromosomes of Leishmania

Chromosome size polymorphisms occur in Leishmania such that each strain of a given species has a distinctive molecular karyotype. Despite this variability, the chromosomal similarities among closely related strains of Leishmania are sufficiently characteristic to permit classification of unidentified clinical isolates. Mechanisms generating chromosome size polymorphisms are related to chromosomal evolution. In this review, Geoffrey Lighthall and Suzanne Giannini explain that the chromosomal profiles of members of different species may be diverging from a conserved 'consensus' karyotype at different rates, and present a current understanding of the genomic organization of Leishmania with emphasis on chromosomal elements.     

Chromosomal homologies between Cebus and Ateles (primates) based on ZOO-FISH and G-banding comparisons

ZOO-FISH (Fluorescent "in vitro" hybridization) was used to establish the chromosomal homology between humans (HSA) and Cebus nigrivitatus (CNI) and Ateles belzebuth hybridus (ABH). These two species belong to different New World monkey families (Cebidae and Atelidae, respectively) which differ greatly in chromosome number and in chromosome morphology. The molecular results were followed by a detailed banding analysis. The ancestral karyotype of Cebus was then determined by a comparison of in situ hybridization results, as well as chromosomal morphology and banding in other Platyrrhini species. The karyotypes of the four species belonging to the genus Cebus differ from each other by three inversions and one fusion as well as in the location and amounts of heterochromatin. Results obtained by ZOO-FISH in ABH are in general agreement with previous gene-mapping and in situ hybridization data in Ateles, which show that spider monkeys have highly derived genomes. The chromosomal rearrangements detected between HSA and ABH on a band-to-band basis were 27 fusions/fissions, 12 centromeric shifts, and six pericentric inversions. The ancestral karyotype of Cebus was then compared with that of Ateles. The rearrangements detected were 20 fusions/fissions, nine centromeric shifts, and five inversions. Atelidae species are linked by a fragmentation of chromosome 4 into three segments forming an association of 4/15, while Ateles species are linked by 13 derived associations. The results also helped clarify the content of the ancestral platyrrhine karyotype and the mode of chromosomal evolution in these primates. In particular, associations 2/16 and 5/7 should be included in the ancestral karyotype of New World monkeys.     

Nature and distribution of constitutive heterochromatin in fishes,genus Hypostomus (Loricariidae)

Some Hypostomus species were studied concerning the features of the karyotype structure and the constitutive heterochromatin. The karyotype of Hypostomus sp. F from the S?o Francisco river (Minas Gerais state, Brazil) is now described for the first time. A diversity in the diploid number, ranging from 2n = 68 to 2n = 80, as well as in the karyotype formulae, is evident in this fish group. Two types of heterochromatin, GC- and AT-rich, could be identified with the use of base-specific fluorochromes. In some species heterochromatic bands are mainly located on the centromeric and telomeric chromosomal regions, while in other species they are also observed at interstitial locations. Hypotheses concerning this heterochromatic distribution in Hypostomus karyotypes are discussed. A case of supernumerary heterochromatic segment and a centric fusion appear to be related with two variant karyotypic formulae observed among specimens from the Mogi-Gua?u and S?o Francisco rivers, respectively. The available data permit us to characterize a divergent karyotypic evolution among the Hypostomus species already analyzed, both at the macro- and microstructural levels, that is, their general karyotype organization and particular features related to chromosomal banding or staining, respectively.
