三江源国家公园兽类物种多样性及区系分析

为了解三江源国家公园野生兽类的分布现状,2015-2017年对园区进行了实地调查。根据调查结果并参考相关文献资料,三江源国家公园内野生兽类共62种,分别隶属8目19科44属。园区内兽类呈现出物种多样性高,珍稀濒危物种多,特有种多的特点：三江源国家公园内的兽类物种多样性G-F指数为0.77,表明该区域物种多样性处于很高水平。根据中国物种红色名录,20个物种受威胁（极危、濒危和易危）,比例为32.26%,远高于国家整体水平;中国或青藏高原特有种29种,占46.77%。三江源国家公园在动物地理区划上属于古北界青藏区,在地理分布型上,以古北界成分为主,东洋界成分为辅,以古北界高山型成分最多,有25种,且资源量大,表明三江源国家公园的兽类以适应高寒气候的特殊种类为主。3个园区的平均动物区系相似性比较结果表明,长江源园区与澜沧江源园区为共同关系,黄河源园区与长江源园区和澜沧江源园区为密切关系。近些年,三江源地区的兽类保护工作取得了很好的效果,并得到国内外认可,本研究结合园区生物多样性和区系特点,根据保护现状,提出了今后的监测保护建议。     

The origins and key innovations of vertebrates and arthropods

The Lower Cambrian Maotianshan Shale near Kunming (Southern China) not only retains beautifully preserved and diverse organisms but also documents a missing evolutionary history between living vertebrates and their amphioxus-like ancestor. Presented here are the key novelties both for the evolutionary origins of the chordates and for the evolutionary transition from amphioxus-like ancestor toward the vertebrates. The adaptation for a burrowing life style is considered a key adaptive pressure for generating novel chordate-only anatomical characters including the first axial skeleton, e.g., notochord and myotomes. The transition from amphioxus-like ancestor toward the vertebrates was presumably triggered by the way toward more active life style, resulted in the origination of numerous novel structures including neural crests, a more complex head with upper and lower lips, an active gilled pharyngeal system, a large brain, image-forming paired eyes, and a bony axial skeleton (vertebrae). The diverse limb-bearing organisms from the Lower Cambrian Maotianshan Shale arthropods representing different evolutionary stages shed light on the mysterious field of the evolutionary origins of the arthropods and reveal a grand scenario of how the arthropods paved their way through step-wise evolution from worm-like ancestor toward living crown-lineage arthropods.     

海南岛淡水龟类区系特点及保护优先性分析

海南岛是我国淡水龟类分布较为集中、物种丰富度高、动物区系独特的地区,已知的淡水龟有2科8属11种,占全国淡水龟种数(24种)的46％。海南岛淡水龟物种密度为3．2种／10^4km^2,均为东洋界成分,其中华南区种4种,占36．4％;华中-华南区共有的种7种,占63．6％;海南特有种2种,占岛内淡水龟种数的18．2％。海南岛淡水龟占华南地区淡水龟种数(19种)的57．9％。海南与广东、广西和香港的淡水龟类区系关系也十分密切,与它们的生物相似值分别为0．76、0．64和0．47。目前,中国75％的淡水龟类濒危,海南岛81．8％的淡水龟类濒危。分析表明,海南岛应是我国淡水龟类资源优先保育的地区。     

广西合浦儒艮国家级自然保护区及邻近水域鱼类种数及保护对策

2003年6月至2004年5月,通过底拖网作业收集鱼类标本对广西合浦儒艮国家级自然保护区及其邻近水域鱼类种数进行了调查,并走访当地鱼市进行实地调查.共记录到保护区及其邻近水域的鱼类14目41科57种,其中55种为硬骨鱼类,占总数的96.49%,另有2种软骨鱼类,占总数的3.51%.有41种为暖水性鱼类,占总数的71.93%.生态类型中底层鱼类共37种,占总数64.91%.区系特征以北太平洋和印度太平洋区系为主.掠夺性获取和开发以及环境污染是目前这一水域鱼类资源面临的最大威胁,针对以上威胁提出了相应的保护对策.     

万寿岩旧石器时代遗址埋藏学研究

本文对福建三明万寿岩遗址文化层形成、遗物与动物骨骼埋藏、风化、破坏等现象进行观察,认为灵峰洞旧石器早期文化遗物和化石,由于暴露于洞内表面时间较长而经受强烈风化、侵蚀与钙质胶结;船帆洞旧石器晚期遗址因洞口坍塌和外部水流侵漫进洞而被废弃,在潮湿环境下,遗物和化石遭受腐蚀、铁锰质浸染严重。3个文化层的遗物及伴生哺乳动物化石均属原地埋藏类型;而船帆洞内3号支洞化石的集聚是高层洞穴作为排泄通道时由流水携带堆积而成的异地埋藏。     

The Upper Palaeolithic site of Kalavan 1 (Armenia): An Epigravettian settlement in the Lesser Caucasus

The open-air site of Kalavan 1 is located in the Aregunyats mountain chain (at 1640 m above sea level) on the northern bank of Lake Sevan. It is the first Upper Palaeolithic site excavated in Armenia. Led by an Armenian-French team, several excavations (2005–2009) have revealed a well preserved palaeosoil, dated to around 14,000 BP (years before present), containing fauna, lithic artefacts, as well as several hearths and activity areas that structure the settlement. The initial studies enable placement of the site in its environment and justify palaeoethnological analysis of the Epigravettian human groups of the Lesser Caucasus.     

二郎山小型兽类区系及分布格局

动物种类和数量在不同的山地或同一山地的不同垂直高度有很大的差异,正因如此,国际上和国内的研究者们一直在努力探讨动物在山地的分布规律和产生差异的原因(Merriam et al.,1890;鲍毅新等,1984;Heaney,2001;Rickart,2001;SánchezCordero,2001;张云智等,2002;李义明等,2003;马俊等,2010).横断山是中国最长、最宽和最典型的南北向山系,位于青藏高原东南部,通常为四川、云南两省西部和西藏自治区东部南北向山脉的总称.横断山是全球25个生物多样性热点地区之一,其生物多样性资源极其丰富(Myers et al.,2000).     

宁波天童森林公园蝶类资源及区系组成

The oldest known occurrence of the Foliomena fauna in the uppermost Darriwilian (Middle Ordovician) of South China

The oldest Foliomena fauna was, until now, known from the middle–upper Miaopo Formation (Nemagraptus gracilis Biozone, lower Sandbian, basal Upper Ordovician) of South China. In this study, the oldest record of the fauna is set back to the latest Darriwilian (upper Hustedograptus teretiusculus Biozone), represented by Foliomena jielingensis and some typical constituents of the Foliomena fauna from the basal Miaopo Formation at Jieling, northern Yichang, western Hubei Province, central China. The Miaopo Formation is characterized by its organic‐rich dark‐grey shale facies, unique in its localized distribution on the Yangtze Platform, and distinguished by its rich and diverse benthic and graptolitic faunas. This suggests an origin of the Foliomena fauna in periodically oxygen‐starved local depressions on the Yangtze Platform during the Middle–Late Ordovician transition.
