鲈形目少磷鳜属（Coreoperca）化石在中国的首次发现

记述的山东少鳞鳜（新种）（Ｃｏｒｅｏｐｅｒｃａｓｈａｎｄｏｎｇｅｎｓｉｓｓｐ．ｎｏｖ）是该属化石在我国的首次发现,标本产自山东山旺早中新世晚期山旺组纹层状硅藻页岩之上的含硅藻泥页岩中,山东少鳞鳜的发现,说明原始鳜类在中新世已发生分化,在中新世期的中国大陆和日本列岛均已相当繁盛,少鳞鳜属可能并非起源于朝鲜和日本一带,之后扩散到中国,而中新世广布于东亚的鱼类,这进一步支持了关于中国东部和日本列岛新生代     

鳜类系统发育的线粒体Cytb基因全序列分析

测定了鳜、大眼鳜、斑鳜、暗鳜、波纹鳜、长体鳜、中国少鳞鳜等7种鳜类12个个体的线粒体细胞色素b基因全序列。结合GenBank中的同源序列,共分析了9种鳜类的系统发育关系。序列分析表明,鳜属鱼类属内种间的遗传距离(0.015～0.093)明显小于少鳞鳜属鱼类属内种间的遗传距离(0.152～0.178)。在分子系统发育树上,长体鳜与鳜属的鳜、大眼鳜、斑鳜、波纹鳜、暗鳜聚合成一分支,少鳞鳜属的种类聚成另一分支;支持将长体鳜归入鳜属,鳜类分为鳜属和少鳞鳜属等二个属的分类处理。在鳜属鱼类中,鳜和大眼鳜亲缘关系十分密切;斑鳜与波纹鳜亲缘较近;长体鳜与鳜属其它5个种的亲缘关系较远。在少鳞鳜属鱼类中,中国少鳞鳜和日本少鳞鳜的亲缘关系较远,韩国少鳞鳜的系统位置较不明确。鳜类的单系性及其鳜类的系统位置仍有待进一步研究。     

日本西部渐新世-中新世啮齿类及其地质古生物学意义

日本九州渐新－中新世沉积物中新发现的啮齿类,有四种类型：1．河狸科未定属种A;2．晚渐新世Sasebo（佐世保）群的Steneofibersp.;3．河狸科未定属种B;4．早－中中新世Nojima（野岛）群的山东硅藻鼠（Diatomysshantungensis）。河狸科的两个未定属种的标本属于大型河狸,头骨大小接近于巨河狸（Trogontherium）,门齿珐琅质具有明显的纵沟。个体大小和门齿珐琅质特征方面的相似性表明这些标本可能为同一个属。Steneofiber是一个遍布北半球的属,以前还未曾在东亚的晚渐新世地层中发现过。山东硅藻鼠的出现使我们有理由推测,在早中新世晚期,位于东亚边缘的日本和中国东部的哺乳动物同属一个区系。     

鳜亚科SINIPERCINAE鱼类的分类整理和地理分布

鳜亚科鱼类仅产于东亚。通过对中国各地、日本和朝鲜标本的研究,本文把鳜亚科鱼类总结为鳜、长体鳜和少鳞鳜3属11种,还对过去一些种的异名作了讨论,提出了看法。 本亚科共有3属9种分布于中国,另两种少鳞鳜只见于日本和朝鲜,是日本和朝鲜地区的特有种。越南有3种记录(Mai,1978)。其中鳜鱼和斑鳜分布最北,是横跨东洋地区和古北区的两个广布种。其他各种皆集中分布于江、淮流域以南,主要在长江流域以南和红河流域以东,但台湾省无鳜类分布。长江流域以南低纬度的华南区是鳜亚科鱼类的分布中心。     

基于细胞色素b基因序列的东亚鳜类系统发育关系

鳜类为东亚特有类群。为验证东亚鳜类的单系起源,解决其分类划分的争议,本文采用特异性引物PCR扩增法获得了鳜类中鳜、大眼鳜、斑鳜、暗鳜、波纹鳜、长体鳜细胞色素b基因的全长序列,结合GenBank中日本少鳞鳜、朝鲜少鳞鳜和中国少鳞鳜的序列,初步构建了东亚鳜类种间的系统发育关系。NJ树和MP树均一致表明,鳜类为单系类群,可分为两支:鳜鱼群和少鳞鳜群。长体鳜未单独成群,而与鳜鱼属聚为一支,不支持将长体鳜单独设属,而应归入鳜鱼属。鳜鱼群中,MP树推测的长体鳜、暗鳜较为原始,鳜、大眼鳜、斑鳜和波纹鳜为特化种类的系统关系假设与其形态、生态特征表型进化较为一致。少鳞鳜群中,中国少鳞鳜与朝鲜少鳞鳜为姐妹种,再与日本少鳞鳜构成姐妹群的系统关系与其地理分布格局较为一致。本研究结果可为深入探讨鳜类物种有效性、系统分类位置及生物地理学提供依据。     

鳜类鱼类的线粒体DNA控制区结构及其系统发育分析

鳜类为低等鲈形目鱼类,是东亚特有类群。然而,关于其系统位置、分类以及一些物种的有效性等尚有争议。采用PCR扩增直接测序的方法,获得了鳜、大眼鳜、斑鳜、暗鳜、波纹鳜、长体鳜、中国少鳞鳜线粒体DNA控制区基因的序列。对比其他已报道鱼类控制区的结构识别序列,对鳜类鱼类控制区的结构进行了分析,识别了终止序列区、中央保守区和保守序列区,并找到了DNA复制终止相关的序列ETAS和中央保守区的保守序列CSB-F、CSB-E、CSB-D以及保守序列区的保守序列CSB1、CSB2、CSB3。几种鳜鱼间共有191个变异位点,其中,终止序列区的变异最高,占总变异的61．3％,中央保守区和保守序列区占总变异的38．7％。这一结果可为全面了解鱼类线粒体DNA控制区的结构特征提供资料。同时,利用高度变异的控制区序列,以鲈科和错科作为外群,使用邻接法和最大简约法构建了这几种鳜鱼的系统发育树。结果表明：鳜类为一单系类群,鳜、大眼鳜、斑鳜、暗鳜、波纹鳜、长体鳜构成一支鳜鱼群,其中,鳜与大眼鳜为姐妹种;中国少鳞鳜为另一支少鳞鳜群;长体鳜未单独成一支,而是聚入鳜鱼群内,应更名为Siniperca roulei。研究结果支持将现生鳜类分为两个类群的观点。     

湖南省鱼类3新纪录

2009年10月至2011年5月,对湖南省沅、澧水水域鱼类资源进行了调查,发现湖南鱼类3新纪录:张氏(餐)Hemiculter tchangi Fang、长脂拟鲿Pseudobagrus adiposalis、中国少鳞鳜Coreoperca whiteheadi.     

线粒体COI基因在少鳞鳜属(Coreoperca)鱼类条形码区段的变异分析

为了研究线粒体COI基因作为DNA条形码对少鳞鳜属(Coreoperca)鱼类进行物种鉴定的可行性.采用PCR扩增与测序技术与GenBank已有序列联合分析的方法,对少鳞鳜属3种84个个体的条形码区段进行比较分析.结果表明,碱基T(U)的平均含量为30.3％,C的平均含量为27.8％,A的含量为23.1％,G的含量为1...     

亚洲土著类群硅藻鼠科的演化

硅藻鼠科是仅分布于亚洲的啮齿类类群,头骨具豪猪型咬肌结构,下颌则为松鼠型。该类群代表了一个从梳趾鼠类分化出的区域性支系,虽与豪猪次目相近,但并不是它的成员。最早的硅藻鼠化石记录发现于Baluchistan渐新世陆相地层中,稍晚的记录发现于南业晚渐新世。印度次大陆连续的地层为该科的演化历史提供了主要的化石依据。早中新世晚期至中中新世,硅藻科化石也发现了泰国、中国以及日本。其后的硅藻鼠种类少且鲜有化石记录。晚中新世早期在巴基斯坦有一个种,中国南部晚中新世也可能有一个种。尽管在最早的化石地点发现的标本较多,但其后的时段内除泰国李盆地外化石并不丰富,这指示了其特殊的生活习性或其生活区域化石保存的偏差。已知的化石记录并没有指示出该类群的多样性,也可能是缺少石化作用的结果。硅藻鼠类在水系外围区域延续生存与最近在老挝中部多岩石地带发现的现生Laonastes也是一个硅藻鼠的假设相一致。     

黑龙江中新世的鲴亚科(鲤科)化石及新生代晚期东亚淡水鱼类区系的演替

本文记述了鲴亚科的一个化石新属新种Eoxenocyprisliui,标本产于黑龙江省桦南县附近的中新世地层中。它与现生鲴亚科鱼类的区别是：头长大于体高,口端位,鳃盖长大于高,背鳍起点至吻端距较其至尾鳍基距为大,臀鳍起点至腹鳍起点的距离小于其至尾鳍基的距离。对新生代晚期东亚淡水鱼类特征分析的结果表明,从中新世到上新世东亚大陆和日本列岛存在一个相同的淡水鱼类区系。这一区系在中国东部一直延续到现在,而在日本自更新世中期以后却发生过较大的演替。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.     

肝癌中HBV和HCV基因和抗原的分布及意义

采用原位分子杂交方法检测HCV RNA及HBV X基因;采用免疫组织化学方法研究HCV核心抗原,非结构区C33c抗原及HBxAg在肝细胞肝癌中的定位及分布.结果表明(1)HCV RNA、HBV X基因在肝细胞肝癌组织检出率分别为40%(55/136)和82%(112/136).HCV RNA定位于癌细胞的胞浆内,阳性细胞呈散在、灶状及弥漫分布三种形式;HBV X基因在肝癌细胞中的分布呈胞浆型、核型及核浆型,阳性细胞也呈上述三种分布形式;(2)HCV C33c抗原、核心抗原在肝细胞肝癌中的阳性率为81%(133/164)及86%(141/164).C33c抗原定位于癌细胞及肝细胞的胞浆内;核心抗原既定位于癌细胞核中,又可定位于胞浆中.C33c抗原阳性细胞以灶状分布为主;而核心抗原阳性细     

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
