白顶鹀(Emberiza stewarti)——中国鸟类新纪录

白顶鹀(Emberiza stewarti)为中亚特有物种,比较罕见。2013年5月12日,喀什地区观鸟爱好者与户外摄影人在新疆乌恰县境内膘尔托阔依乡(39°20'N和75°05'E,海拔2 100 m)帕米尔东麓拍摄到一只雄性白顶鹀照片,经过查阅文献,确认是中国鸟类新纪录。     

西昆仑、西喀喇昆仑和西北喜马拉雅地区植被的地域分异及其指示意义

 在青藏高原的西北部,喜马拉雅山、喀喇昆仑山和昆仑山汇聚成一个高大山系组。中国-巴基斯坦公路横跨这个山系组,沿线植被的组成及分布显示出极其明显的地域分异：西昆仑山和喀喇昆仑山以荒漠为主,西北喜马拉雅山以山地森林为主;西昆仑山前平原上是暖温带灌木、半灌木荒漠,西北喜马拉雅山前印度河平原上是亚热带稀树草原;山系组腹地谷坡明显较外部山坡干燥,西昆仑山东北坡有完整的山地草原和高山草甸带,以及断续的山地云杉（Picea）和刺柏（Juniperus）疏林灌丛,而西南坡山地荒漠海拔高达3600～4000 m,草原和草甸带     

中国帕米尔高原禾本科植物资源与利用

整理鉴定了中国帕米尔高原禾本科植物,结果表明：该区禾本科有31属131种,分别占新疆禾本科属的43．7％,种的34．8％,并对其资源进行评价,为该区禾本科资源的合理开发利用提供理论依据。     

新疆喀什下坂地墓地青铜时代人群颅骨的测量性状

下坂地墓地青铜时代居民是帕米尔高原区早期人群的代表。通过颅骨测量性状特征对该人群来源和流向问题的讨论,为建立欧亚大陆青铜时代人群的流动、变迁史提供了新的素材。与欧亚大陆青铜时代时空相关人群对比分析的结果表明,下坂地青铜组居民的祖先人群,可能是来自东欧南部草原地带的洞室墓文化居民。他们在安德罗诺沃文化的繁盛期,自东欧草原地带迁徙到帕米尔高原区,逐渐发展为安德罗诺沃文化的一个地方变体。     

中国帕米尔高原种子植物的区系地理研究

中国帕米尔高原约有种子植物59科303属963种(包括变种)。分析表明:该区种子植物区系的地理成分较为复杂,联系广泛。温带性质的属有254属,占总属数的83.8%,热带性质的属有13属,占总属数的4.3%;温带性质的种有723种,占总种数的75.1%,热带性质的种有17种,占总种数的1.8%。表明该地区植物区系具有明显的温带性质,同时受到热带植物区系的影响。另外在区系科属分级水平上,寡属科、单属科占绝对优势,而超过20属的大科在该区仅有3科,却占总属数、总种数的35.9%和38.6%,区系优势现象十分明显;单种或少种属也较多,属种比值偏高,表明区系组成上的复杂性。     

Basic Types of Structural Changes in the Leaf Mesophyll during Adaptation of Eastern Pamir Plants to Mountain Conditions

Quantitative characteristics of mesophyll structure were compared in leaves of eleven alpine plant species grown under natural conditions in the Eastern Pamirs at various altitudes, from 3800 to 4750 m. Basic types of changes in mesophyll structure, associated with plant adaptation to mountain conditions, were characterized. These changes manifested themselves in different numbers of cell layers and cell sizes in the palisade tissue and, as a consequence, in changed leaf thickness and cell number per unit of leaf area. Three plant groups were identified by the changes in the leaf structural characteristics depending on the type of mesophyll structure, ecological group of plant species, and altitude of plant habitat. The first group comprised alpine xerophytes with an isopalisade structure, in which the volume of palisade cells decreased and their number per unit of leaf area increased with the altitude of plant habitat. The number of mesophyll layers and leaf thickness decreased or did not change with altitude. The second group comprised subalpine plant species with a dorsoventral structure of mesophyll; these species occur below the line of continuous night frost. In these plant species, the number of mesophyll layers, leaf thickness, and cell number per unit of leaf area increased with altitude. The third group comprised mesophyte plants with a dorsoventral and homogenous mesophyll structure, which are encountered in a wide range of habitats, including the nival belt (from 4700 to 5000 m). In this group, cell volume increased and cell number per unit of leaf area decreased with altitude. We present a general scheme of leaf structural changes, which explains the changes in the quantitative characteristics of mesophyll as a function of altitude and highland environmental conditions.     

Middle Triassic radiolarians from the Southeastern Pamirs (Republic of Tajikistan)

Triassic radiolarians were studied from a limestone/chert succession of the Dzhangisu and Boztere formations, Southeastern Pamirs, Republic of Tajikistan. The middle part of the Dzhangisu Formation is characterized by a Late Anisian assemblage with Eptingium nakasekoi Kozur and Mostler, Archaeospongoprunum bispinosum Kozur and Mostler, A. mesotriassicum mesotriassicum Kozur and Mostler, Paroertlispongus multispinosus Kozur and Mostler, P. rarispinosus Kozur and Mostler and Hozmadia rotunda (Nakaseko and Nishimura) that belongs either to the upper part of the Tetraspinocyrtis laevis Zone or to the Spongosilicarmiger transitus Zone (Kozur, 2003). The lowermost part of the Boztere Formation is characterized by a Late Ladinian assemblage with Muelleritortis cochleata (Nakaseko and Nishimura), M. expansa (Kozur and Mostler), Spongoserrula rarauana Dumitrica that corresponds to the M. cochleata Zone. Pamirian localities have a transitional position between the Western Tethys (Alpine–Mediterranean region) and the Eastern Tethys–Pacific junction (Southern China and Thailand). The assemblages are Tethyan in affinity.     

中国帕米尔高原种子植物区系的特征

中国帕米尔高原约有种子植物963种（包括变种）,隶属59科303属。其中裸子植物3科、3属、12种,被子植物56科、300属、951种。在区系科属分级水平上,寡种科、单种科占绝对优势,超过50种的大科仅有4科,分别占总属数、总种数的40.26%和46.21%,区系优势现象十分明显;单种或少种属也较多,属种比值偏高,表明区系组成上的复杂性。在区系地理成分中则是以温带成分为主的北温带成分占主导地位,其次是旧世界温带分布成分和地中海、西亚至中亚成分,而热带成分十分微弱。     

中国帕米尔高原种子植物组成及其资源分析

经调查中国帕米尔高原共有种子植物530种,隶属于43科201属。由于地处高寒大陆性环境,帕米尔高原种子植物已集中于有限的少数科。科与属的种类组成均反映出该地区植物区系的过渡性,多数属、种已位于其分布区的边缘。该地区野生植物资源较为丰富,有可食用植物22种,饲用植物66种,观赏植物52种,药用植物约有13种。这些极端环境条件下的植物资源具有重要的经济意义和科研价值。     

中国帕米尔高原根瘤菌-豆科植物共生资源调查

对帕米尔高原进行了根瘤菌——豆科植物共生资源的调查与收集,分析了根瘤的特征和根瘤菌的抗逆性。共采集到11属22种豆科植物,除菜豆、昆仑锦鸡儿、豇豆和白花草木樨等4种豆科植物未见结瘤外,其它豆科植物均能结瘤,其中帕米尔扁蓿豆、美丽棘豆、毛序棘豆、金毛脬萼黄芪等4种为新发现的结瘤豆科植物。共收集到8属18种豆科植物的根瘤样品250份,发现根瘤数量相对较少,颜色以白色或褐色为多,形状多样,多着生于主根、侧根的上部。通过对109株根瘤菌的抗逆性分析,获得一些具有耐低温和耐盐碱能力的优良菌株。
