不同水系松潘裸鲤的形态特征分析

为了解岷江、大渡河、雅砻江和金沙江水系松潘裸鲤Gymnocypris potanini的形态差异,采用常规形态学和多变量形态度量学方法比较分析了采自这4个水系206尾样本的形态特征。结果显示,各水系间松潘裸鲤的第一鳃弓外侧鳃耙数和背鳍、胸鳍、腹鳍及臀鳍鳍条数之间的差异无统计学意义;主成分分析显示,头部(吻端至胸鳍起点/体长、吻端至头背部末端/体长、头长/体长)和尾部特征值(尾鳍背部起点至臀鳍起点/体长、臀鳍起点至尾鳍腹部起点/体长)对形态影响最大;判别分析发现,岷江和雅砻江安宁河种群与其他种群明显分开;聚类分析显示,岷江水系种群聚为一支,金沙江、大渡河、雅砻江水系种群聚为另一支,金沙江水系种群聚在一起,大渡河和雅砻江水系种群未按水系聚在一起,而其聚类关系与种群间的地理距离基本一致;形态差异系数分析显示,可根据臀鳞行列长进行亚种的区分。大渡河和雅砻江水系的松潘裸鲤为硬刺松潘裸鲤亚种。     

实验室条件下唐鱼两性异形及其与游泳能力关系

为了解唐鱼两性异形及其与游泳能力关系,检测了性成熟阶段唐鱼躯干部和鱼鳍形态特征以及爆发游泳速度(U_burst)和临界游泳速度(U_crit)在雌雄之间的差异,旨在从形态适应角度探究长期进化中雌雄唐鱼各自面对选择压力所产生的游泳能力差异及其机制,从而为野生唐鱼保护提供基础数据.结果表明: 雌性唐鱼的体长、头高、头宽、尾鳍面积以及吻端至枕骨后末端、腹鳍起点至背鳍末端等长度均与雄性无显著差异.而体高、体宽、腹鳍起点至背鳍起点等反映腹腔大小的形态参数以及吻端至背鳍起点、吻端至臀鳍起点、枕骨后末端至背鳍起点等反映躯干部大小的形态参数均显示为雌性显著大于雄性,但头长以及胸鳍面积、腹鳍面积、背鳍面积和臀鳍面积均显示为雄性显著大于雌性.对所有数据进行主成分分析,结果显示第1主成分贡献率为74.2%,负载量较大的是体长、头长、头高、体高、头宽、体宽以及各鳍之间距离等主要反映唐鱼躯干整体特征的参数;第2主成分贡献率为15.7%,负载量较大的是胸鳍面积、腹鳍面积、背鳍面积和臀鳍面积等主要反映鱼鳍特征的参数.唐鱼性别在第1主成分上无法区分,但在第2主成分却可以明显区分.根据体宽、胸鳍面积、腹鳍面积、背鳍面积和臀鳍面积等建立的性别判别方程对雌雄判断准确率达到91.8%～92.5%.唐鱼游泳能力测定结果显示,雌性U_burst与雄性无显著差异,但U_crit显著小于雄性.以上结果表明,雌雄唐鱼两性异形主要集中在与游泳能力相关的鱼鳍特征上.相比雄性,雌性唐鱼虽然胸鳍等鱼鳍面积较小导致其U_crit小于雄性,却具有更长的躯干部以保证其同样具有较高的爆发游泳能力,从而有利于在流速波动很大的溪流中躲避捕食和进行其他应急活动;相比雌性,雄性唐鱼则具有较大的鱼鳍面积保证其U_crit高于雌性,以利于日常活动及在繁殖过程中追逐雌性等相对持久性游泳运动.     

西藏雅鲁藏布江下游墨头鱼属一新种（鲤形目：鲤科）

2016年11月,于西藏自治区墨脱县雅鲁藏布江支流哈果河中采集到一批墨头鱼属鱼类标本,经鉴定为一新种,命名为西藏墨头鱼（Garra tibetana sp. nov.）。该种曾一度被误认为Garra kempi Hora 1921。经形态对比,该新种与G. kempi及同属其他近似物种的主要鉴别特征包括：吻部具微弱额突,吻前端横叶及两侧有若干角质单尖棘突;胸腹部均有鳞片覆盖;背鳍分枝鳍条7? ~ 8?,臀鳍分枝鳍条4?;侧线鳞39 ~ 42,背前鳞13 ~ 14,围尾柄鳞12 ~ 13;体高为体长的13.5% ~ 17.6%,尾柄高为体长的8.8% ~ 11.0%,肛门至臀鳍起点为腹鳍起点至臀鳍起点距离的47% ~ 56%。     

中华沙鳅和宽体沙鳅形态差异及其物种有效性分析

通过主成分分析法并结合物种的生物学特征对长江上游支流沱江资中段69尾宽体沙鳅Sinibotia reevesae和长江干流宜宾段、南溪段及沱江资中段141尾中华沙鳅Sinibotia superciliaris的10个常规可量性状与20个框架性状进行了比较研究。结果显示: 主成分分析并不能区分宽体沙鳅和中华沙鳅之间的形态差异; 依据二者在尾柄高、吻须长、D1-3(胸鳍基部起点至腹鳍基部起点之间的距离)、D7-9(臀鳍基部后末端至尾鳍基部腹部起点之间的距离)和D9-10(鳍基部腹部起点至尾鳍基部背部起点之间的距离) 等形态特征的显著性差异(P<0.05), 并结合其繁殖生物学特征, 认为中华沙鳅和宽体沙鳅应为2个有效种。建议在使用框架性状度量评价物种有效性时需选择恰当的形态指标, 数据分析应结合物种的生物学特征。     

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.

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.
