Survey of the reptilian fauna of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. V. The lizard fauna of Turaif region

Turaif area located in the Northern border region of Saudi Arabia is one of the most important regions of the Kingdom. This work was proposed to throw light on the diversity of lizard fauna investigated through the collection and subsequent identification of specimens from different localities of Turaif region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Sixteen species of lizards belonging to 5 families (Agamidae, Gekkonidae, Lacertidae, Scincidae and Varanidae) were recorded. Lacertidae was the most common family. Three species of lizards namely Acanthodactylus orientalis, Acanthodactylus scutellatus and Acanthodactylus grandis were reported for the first time in the Turaif region of Saudi Arabia. The geographical distribution of the collected species within this province was mapped.     

四川丘陵区水库浮游植物群落结构与蓝藻水华风险——基于优势种生态位与种间联结研究

为了解四川丘陵区中小型水库浮游植物群落结构周年变化,掌握其演替规律并预测其发展方向,于2016年-2017年分季节对该地区10个典型水库进行了周年研究。结果显示：共检出浮游植物9门104属188种,其中优势种4门16属16种,以湖泊假鱼腥藻（Pseudanabaena linmnetica）优势度指数为最高;蓝藻密度在各季节、各水库中均占据优势,尤其是夏季。优势种生态位宽度和生态位重叠度在存在明显的季节差异性,并受到水温、营养条件等环境因子的显著影响;优势种可分为3个类别,竞争力相对较强的7个种中有5种蓝藻;全年发展性最强的种类也多为蓝藻,特别是湖泊假鱼腥藻等具有产毒潜力的种类,其优势度存在进一步扩大的风险。种间联结性检验结果显示,群落种间大致表现出净的正联结,优势种种对间正负关联比大于1,该类水库群落结构较为稳定且存在正向演替的趋势,可能会导致夏季间断性产毒蓝藻水华的风险。研究结果可为四川丘陵区中小型水库浮游植物群落演替研究以及蓝藻水华预警提供基础资料。     

海南具C4、C3解剖特征的禾本科植物

Taxonomy of gastropods of the families Ranellidae (= Cymatiidae) and Bursidae. Part 2. Descriptions of 14 new modern Indo-West Pacific species and subspecies,with revisions of related taxa

Abstract

The subgenus Cymatium (Septa) is here restricted to species closely related to C. rubeculum (Linné, 1758). A lectotype is designated for C. rubeculum, neotypes are designated for C. hepaticum (Röding, 1798) and C. flaveolum (Röding, 1798), C. occidentale (Mörch, 1877) (= blacketi Iredale, 1936; = beui Garcia-Talavera, 1985) is recorded from the Indo-West Pacific, C. (Septa) marerubrum Garcia-Talavera, 1985 is ranked as a geographic subspecies of C. rubeculum, and three new taxa are named: C. (Septa) bibbeyi n. sp., Philippine Islands; C. (Septa) closeli n. sp., Indian Ocean; and C. (Septa) peasei n. sp., western Pacific. In the subgenus Cymatium (Ranularia), neotypes are designated for C. guttumium (Röding, 1798) and its synonyms, for C. moniliferum (A. Adams & Reeve, 1850), and for C. pyrulum (A. Adams & Reeve, 1850), a lectotype is designated for C. pseudopyrum (Martin, 1899) (a junior synonym of C. pyrulum), other species distinguished are C. encausticum (Reeve, 1844) and C. exile (Reeve, 1844), and new taxa named are C. andamanense n. sp., Andaman Islands, C. springsteeni n. sp., western Pacific and Red Sea, and C. sinense arthuri n. subsp., Red Sea. Other Ranellidae named are Sassia (Sassia) ponderi n. sp., Queensland, and Distorsio (Distorsio) euconstricta n. sp., Indian Ocean and southwest Pacific. A lectotype selected for Murex reticularis Linné, 1758 is a specimen of the species usually known as Distorsio reticulata (Röding, 1798).

In Bursa (Bursa), a lectotype is designated for B. grayana Dunker, 1862 (= B. bufoniopsis Maury, 1917; = B. pacamoni Matthews & Coelho, 1971), western Atlantic, and the similar new Oman to Philippines species B. davidboschi is named. Other Bursa taxa named are B. (Colubrellina) quirihorai n. sp., Philippines, and B. (Colubrellina) latitudo fosteri n. subsp., Philippines. In Bufonaria (Bufonaria), a lectotype designated for Murex rana Linné, 1758 confirms that as the name for the most common western Pacific species, a lectotype designated for Ranella crumena Lamarck, 1816 confirms that as the name for the most common Indian Ocean species, B. elegans (Beck in G. B. Sowerby II, 1836) is illustrated, and the new western Pacific species B. perelegans is named; the four similar species B. nobilis (Reeve, 1844), B. margaritula (Deshayes, 1832), B. gnorima (Melville, 1918), and B. thersites (Redfield, 1846) are distinguished, and the new Madagascar to Philippines species B. ignobilis is named. In Tutufa (Tutufella), the newly named species T. boholica occurs with T. rubeta (Linné, 1758) in deep water in the Philippine Islands.

近40年河北坝上地区杨树人工林径向生长对气候变化的响应差异

运用树木年轮气候学方法,研究近40年河北坝上地区健康和衰退小叶杨人工林径向生长对气候响应敏感性差异,揭示健康和衰退杨树生长与气候关系的时间变异规律。结果表明：（1）衰退杨树径向生长对温度、降水等气候因素响应较健康杨树敏感。衰退杨树年表中的气候信号较强,与当年生长季（4、8-10月）的气温因素呈显著负相关,与上一年休眠期（9月-当年1月）和当年生长季（7月）的降水和相对湿度呈显著正相关。健康杨树年表中气候信号较弱,主要与上一年冬季（12月）和当年生长季（4月）的气温因素呈显著负相关,与上一年生长末期（8-11月）降水和相对湿度呈显著正相关。（2）从各年表与帕默尔干旱指数（PDSI）的响应强度来看,衰退杨树生长更易受夏季干旱胁迫影响。衰退杨树年表与上一年9月-当年3月、6-10月的PDSI呈显著正相关,而健康杨树径向生长与PDSI呈弱的正相关。（3）1975-2017年间,随气温升高,健康和衰退杨树生长对温度的敏感性下降;健康杨树生长对降水和PDSI的敏感性较为稳定,适应能力强,而衰退杨树生长对降水和PDSI的敏感性增强,适应能力变弱。综上所述,干旱胁迫是限制衰退杨树生长的主要因素,而健康杨树生长受气候影响较弱,能适应当地气候条件。衰退杨树对气候变化响应较健康杨树明显,在气候变暖背景下,衰退杨树生长的气候限制因子由温度转变为水分,导致河北坝上地区遭受干旱灾害时发生退化的趋势更加明显。

水稻模型ORYZA2000在湖南双季稻区的验证与适应性评价

校准与验证水稻生长模型ORYZA2000,为模型本地化、区域化研究应用提供依据。本文采用湖南双季稻区作物田间观测数据,结合栽培管理措施、土壤以及同期逐日气象数据等资料对ORYZA2000进行参数校正,调试确定了早稻、晚稻有代表性品种的作物参数;利用独立的数据资料,对双季稻生育期、叶面积指数、生物量、产量等指标的模拟结果进行了详细地验证与适应性评价。结果表明：模型对双季稻品种的生育期模拟较好,开花期和成熟期的相对模拟误差为1—2d;早稻和晚稻叶面积指数的归一化均方根误差（NRMSE）均为24%,地上部总生物量、绿叶生物量、茎生物量和穗生物量的NRMSE值分别为18%、22%、22%、24%和19%、24%、28%、28%,产量的NRMSE值分别为11%和16%。校验的作物参数反映了湖南早稻和晚稻品种的生物学特性,参数值合理、有效。通过校准作物参数,ORYZA2000可较为准确地模拟双季稻生长发育及其生物量的动态累积过程,适应性较强,能够应用于双季稻生产。     

记河北赤城上侏罗统-下白垩统土城子组窄足龙-巨齿龙(兽脚类恐龙)足迹组合及其古生态学意义(英文)

记述了河北省赤城县落凤沟化石点163个窄足龙足迹(Therangospodus isp.)。当该地区洪水泛滥时,同样的造迹者留下了5个游泳迹。一个异常大的足迹和一道疑似尾迹被归入巨齿龙足迹(Megalosauripus isp.)。土城子组7个主要足迹化石点表明,兽脚类的似鹬龙足迹型(Grallator morphotype)占据主导地位,这些足迹型的大小在各个足迹化石点都有着特定的范围。如果这些大小不同的足迹属于同一种造迹者,则暗示着同年龄的成员在特定年龄时会共同栖息在一起,在动物行为学上类似现生的一些蜥蜴和短吻鳄;如果这些足迹由不同的造迹者组成,则暗示着不同大小的种(主要表现在小型动物)可能拥有自己的领地,并特意避免与其他动物(特别是大型动物)相接触,在动物行为学上类似现生的肉食性哺乳动物。
