颈槽蛇的地理变异

地理变异是蛇类中较为常见的现象。颈槽蛇Rhabdophis nuchalis在中国具有广泛的地理分布,是研究地理变异的理想物种。统计分析采自中国各地的61号颈槽蛇标本外部形态特征,对其地理变异模式进行了研究。结果表明:来自云南省高黎贡山的种群与其他种群在眶后鳞数、腹鳞数、上唇鳞黑纹的数量和后颔片间是否有小鳞等形态特征上的差异有统计学意义。

河南省蛇类新纪录——颈槽蛇

<正>2009年7月,在河南省栾川县进行两栖爬行动物生物多样性资源调查时,于伏牛山采得一批蛇类标本。其中一种经鉴定为颈槽蛇Rhabdophis nuchalis,隶于游蛇科颈槽蛇属。该蛇采集于伏牛山自然保护区(33°18'N,111°12'E,700m)阔叶林路边的草丛中。经检索,颈槽蛇在河南未被报道过,系河南省蛇类分布的新纪录种。标本现存于中国科学院成都生物研究所两栖爬行动物标本馆(CIB),标本号为CIB94009。标本为雄性成体,头体长438mm,尾长97mm。头背面橄榄绿色。从头至尾,有不明显红色及黑色斑点。腹面灰褐色密布     

一种有毒的游蛇——虎斑颈槽蛇

虎斑颈槽蛇是中国数量较多、分布最广的蛇类之一,但一直被当作无毒蛇而忽视。为了使人们对虎斑颈槽蛇有一个全面、正确的认识,也为以后的相关研究奠定一定的理论基础,从虎斑颈槽蛇的分布,形态,生活习性以及毒腺的研究等方面加以综述。     

湖南省发现青脊蛇

2013年5月,在湖南省怀化市鹤城区黄岩乡野外考察期间采集到1号游蛇科蛇类标本,经鉴定为青脊蛇(Achalinus ater),为湖南省蛇类新纪录种。此记录能为研究青脊蛇的形态变化和地理分布提供基础资料。     

蛇园中蛇房假山一体化结构的设计

蛇是有多种经济用途的野生动物，近年来市场需求量越来越大，捕捉野生蛇类受到资源的限制，驯养蛇类已成为快速致富的重要途径。蛇类驯养成功的关键在于蛇园的拟态程度。目前我国多采用蛇房与蛇园分离的结构，这种结构虽然便于蛇类捕捉，但增加了投资，且与野生蛇类的生境结构有较大差别，不利于蛇的驯养。我们设计蛇房假山一体化结构的蛇园，很好地解决了上述问题，现介绍如下。１　蛇房假山一体化结构　　蛇房假山一体化是将蛇房与假山建在一起。蛇房建在园内蛇的活动区，内部建造成蛇窝供蛇避暑、冬眠、休息及藏身。蛇房的外围堆垫土层，…     

四川平武发现颈槽蛇

1985年9月19日我们在四川省平武县采集到颈槽蛇指名亚种Rhabdophis nuchalis nuch-alis(Baulenger),隶属于游蛇科Colubridae,颈槽蛇属Rhabdophis。采集地点在旧堡乡的双泉山公路旁,海拔为2062米。标本号:85001,标本保存在中国科学院成都生物研究所。标本体长为210mm,尾长35mm,头背部有一明显的金黄色环带,无毒。本次在平武境内发现了颈槽蛇,增加了对其分布范围的了解。四川平武发现颈槽蛇@顾星和$绵阳市卫生防疫站     

湖南省蛇类新纪录—青脊蛇Achalinus ater

2013年5月,在湖南省怀化市鹤城区黄岩乡野外考察期间采集到1号游蛇科蛇类标本,经鉴定为青脊蛇Achalinus ater,为湖南省蛇类新纪录种。此新纪录能为研究青脊蛇的形态变化和地理分布提供基础资料。     

蛇类数量调查方法

1982—1984年,笔者在陕西秦岭、长巴山和米仓山区的蛇类动物数量调查,采用:路线(条带)、样方、收购统计以及访问调查等方法,太白县黄柏塬林区,每公顷颈槽游蛇1.02、黑春蛇0.20、蝮蛇0.41,反映了调查区蛇类动物的数量等级,为蛇类资源的保护及利用提供依据。

Ultrastructure of the spermatozoon of Megaselia scalaris Loew (Diptera:Brachycera:Cyclorrhapha:Phoridea:Phoridae)

When viewed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the spermatozoon of the phorid dipteran Megaselia scalaris appears threadlike, lacking distinct head and tail areas. These areas can be observed, however, in appropriately stained material. Measurements of Feulgen-stained material reveal average lengths of the head, tail, and total cell of 18.7, 128.7, and 147.4 μm, respectively. When tested for sulfhydryl and disulfide groups, the head displays only disulfide groups. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals 12 different regions: three (1–3) in the head, four (9–12) in the tail, and five (4–8) in a short zone of overlap between the head and tail. Most of the cell lies in regions 9 and 11 of the tail and 3 of the head, accounting for, respectively, 37.3%, 45.7%, and 11.2% of the total length. A tubelike acrosome indents the anterior end of the nucleus. The tail originates asymmetrically in relation to the long axis of the cell as a peglike structure associated with the dorsolateral region of the nucleus. No centriole is visible, and the nucleus has a notched appearance in longitudinal sections. Two mitochondrial derivatives and an axoneme displaying a 9+9+2 microtubule configuration and ATPase activity extend throughout most of the tail. In regions 9 and 10, an asymmetrically arranged accessory body is also present. Features having possible taxonomic utility include the asymmetrically arranged accessory body, the size and shape of the acrosome, and the notched appearance of the nucleus. The present report is apparently the first to describe the spermatozoon of a cyclorrhaphous dipteran which is not a member of the Schizophora.
