Sur les familles des Helicancylidae Hyatt, 1894 et des Acrioceratidae Vermeulen, 2004 ; réponses et précisions apportées au travail de Bert, 2009

This work is mainly an answer to the work of Bert (2009), on families Helicancylidae Hyatt, 1894 and Acrioceratidae Vermeulen, 2009. On the nomenclatural speaking, the non validity of the genus Helicancylus Gabb, 1869 and of the family Helicancylidae Hyatt, 1894 and, consequently, the validity of the family Acrioceratidae Vermeulen, 2004 are established. The second part of this work is devoted to the respect of former work and, contrary to the assertions from Bert (2009), it is shown that the stratigraphical positioning of the Upper Barremian level with small Barremites, realized by Cotillon (1971), is at least as precise as that proposed by Bert. The last part of this work highlights a lack of bibliographical references, fact which had already been highlighted ( Vermeulen and Lepinay, 2010) in a former work of Bert et al. (2009).

Comment on Xiao et al. (2009), response to: the rise of bilaterians

In this rejoinder to Xiao et al., I will concentrate on two issues: the methodology used by Shen et al. and the assertion that the data supporting the existence of crown-group sponges, cnidarians and stem-group bilaterians, which pre-date the beginning of the Cambrian by at least 40–55 million years, is so weak that it should be dismissed.     

Potential effect of the global warming to the subfamily Lipotactinae (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) in China and acoustics data of Lipotactes truncatus Shi & Li, 2009

Species in the subfamily Lipotactinae are brachypterous with a small body and have limited dispersal ability. In this study, it’s the first time to describe the male calling song of Lipotactes truncatus Shi & Li, 2009. MaxEnt was used to predict the potential geographic distribution of Lipotactinae in present-day and year 2070, in order to explore responses to global warming of this subfamily in China. As for L. truncatus, two types of calling songs are observed with the peak frequencies in the ultrasound range. With the trend of global warming, the suitable habitats of the subfamily Lipotactinae will change in three ways: i) migrate to high latitude area; ii) migrate to the coastal region of south China; iii) migrate along altitude gradients in mountains. Some species will be locked into the “sky islands”, which will accelerate speciation process, with global warming.     

Photoluminescence property of A9B(VO4)7 [A = Ca,Sr, Ba and B = La,Gd] phosphors

A new efficient phosphor, A₉B(VO₄)₇ [A = Ca, Sr, Ba and B = La, Gd] has been synthesized by the solid‐state method at high temperature. X‐ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of the compound. Photoluminescence excitation measurements show that the phosphor can be efficiently excited by near‐ultraviolet light from 300 nm to 400 nm to realize emission covering the 397–647 nm region of visible spectrum. Therefore, newly synthesized novel phosphor may be useful as green‐emitting phosphor in solid‐state lighting. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
