罂粟科植物的分类,进化与分布

罂粟科有38属约700种,作者通过对科内各属的研究,根据其主要器官(雌蕊、雄蕊,花被、果和种子)的进化趋势,重新排列科内的分类系统,在3个亚科下,包括8个亚族。在此基础上,讨论各属可能的演化关系,分析它们的分布规律,最后探讨本科的起源。     

VOCAL RESPONSES OF GREEN BARBET POPULATIONS,AND THE TAXONOMIC IMPLICATIONS

Dowsett-Lemaire, F. & Dowsett, R. J. 1987. Vocal responses of Green Barbet populations, and the taxonomic implications. Ostrich 58:160-163.

The songs of the following populations of the Green Barbet Stactolaemu olivacea are described and found to be very similar: coastal Kenya (olivacea), northern (rung weensis) and southern Malawi (belcheri), and Zululand (woodwardi). Birds of these isolated populations react readily to the playback of songs from other areas. Vocal similarity between these isolates suggests that they are no more than subspecifically distinct, including the Zululand population.

SEED DISPERSAL OF DENDROMECON: ITS ECOLOGIC,EVOLUTIONARY, AND TAXONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE

Both species of Dendromecon are diplochorous, that is, the seeds are first scattered from the mother plant by violently dehiscing capsules and then transported further away by ants, which are strongly attracted to the elaiosome at the micropylar end of the seed. The tensions that cause the capsule to explode develop between the two carpels and also between lateral and central fiber strands in the capsular valves. The elaiosome is unusual in that it contains large quntities of starch in addition to the commonly present fatty oils and that it is more drought resistant than most known elaiosomes. Seed dispersal is very efficient over short distances, but migration barriers a few hundred meters or more cannot be crossed except by chance dispersal. Dendromecon differs strikingly from most ant-dispersed plants in being woody and xerophytic; so far, D. rigida is the only chaparral plant known to be habitually dispersed by ants. The presence of an auto-chorous-myrmecochorous type of seed dispersal in D. rigida may partly explain the polymorphism of this species, since this type of seed dispersal tends to keep local populations isolated. The nearly complete correspondence, anatomically, morphologically, and functionally, between the fruit of Dendromecon and that of Eschscholzia strongly supports the idea of a close taxonomic relationship between these two genera. The seed appendage is believed to be a “recent” specialization in Dendromecon, phylogenetically independent from seed appendages facilitating dispersal by ants in other genera of the Papaveraceae.     

HANDEDNESS, HOLDING AND ITS POSSIBLE TAXONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE IN GRASSQUITS, TIARIS SPP

The use of the foot to hold down nest material or food items was studied in two species of grass-quits. Two Cuban Olive Finches used only their left foot, and seven others used predominantly or exclusively their right foot. An Olive Finch from Costa Rica used mostly its left foot. Cuban Melodious Finches infrequently used the foot to hold down items. This difference in behaviour probably reflects differences in feeding ecology. The incidence of holding supports arguments for affinity between Tiaris spp. and geospizines.     

NUMMULARIA BROOMEIANA: CONIDIAL STATE AND TAXONOMIC ASPECTS

The hyphomycetous state of Nummularia broomeiana (Berk. and Curt.) J. H. Miller produces conidia blastically from conidiogenous cells borne on swollen vesicular apices of long unbranched or sparingly branched conidiophores. This conidial state is referable to Basidiobotrys Höhnel and is similar to conidial states previously described for Hypoxylon punctulatum and H. tinctor. Nummularia broomeiana also has stromatal developmental features reminiscent of the above Hypoxylon species, further indicating a close taxonomic alliance among them.     

我国有尾动物分类中几个问题的研究

本文对有尾两栖类小鲵科Hynobiidae山溪鲵属、巴鲵属、小鲵属分类研究中的同物异名,以及属称的订正方面进行了进一步探讨,认为我国山溪鲵属应为5种,无唇褶山溪鲵B.cochranae应为北方山溪鲵Batrachuperus ti-betanus同物异名。巴鲵属是一个有效属称,义乌小鲵Hynobius yiwuensis应为中国小鲵H.chinensis的同物异名,黄斑拟小鲵Pseudohynobius flavonaculatus可以暂定为秦巴北鲵Ranodon tsinoaensis的同物异名。黑抓异鲵Xenobius melanonychus是否有效种有待确定。     

岩梧桐属的花粉形态及其分类学意义

本文通过光学显微镜和扫描电镜对岩梧桐属Wightia Wall.花粉进行了深入的观察,并与紫葳科和玄参科部分属种作了详尽的比较。结果认为,从花粉的大小等级、萌发孔特征、外壁内外层比例等看,岩梧桐属花粉与玄参科的花粉更类似,而与紫葳科的相距较大。孢粉学支持把岩梧桐属置于玄参科。该属的国产种,根据花粉的大小和外壁纹饰特征的差异划分为两个种较为合理和自然,不该合并为一个种。
