南海北部珠江口盆地PY30井早中新世-更新世钙质超微化石生物地层及沉积环境

本文对南海北部珠江口盆地PY30井早中新世―更新世地层中的钙质超微化石进行了系统研究,发现490-690m和1 040-1 170m井段化石丰度和分异度均较高,700-1 035m和1 179-1 809m化石丰度中等,井段下部1 818-3 478m化石稀少,种类单调。根据钙质超微化石标志种的存在,对该井的生物地层进行了划分。在490—3 478m地层中识别出12个钙质超微化石带或联合化石带,地层时代为早中新世―更新世,据此建立了该井的钙质超微化石生物地层框架,探讨了下中新统与中中新统、中中新统与上中新统、上中新统与上新统以及上新统与更新统界线划分的钙质超微化石标志。根据钙质超微化石总丰度、分异度及特征性环境指示种丰度的变化,划分了8个沉积环境演化阶段,从而讨论了早中新世至更新世沉积环境演化特征。     

南海北部琼东南盆地崖北凹陷Y-8-X井晚渐新世—更新世钙质超微化石

对南海北部琼东南盆地崖北凹陷Y-8-X井1 338.1～3 086.1 m井段内的110块样品进行了钙质超微化石分析,发现上部1 338.1～2 075.7 m地层含较丰富的钙质超微化石,而下部2 091.0～3 086.1 m井段化石丰度低或未见。根据钙质超微化石标志种的存在,识别出NN17带、NN15带、NN11带、NN6带、NN4带和NP25带等6个钙质超微化石末现面事件,由此对该井的生物地层进行了划分,认为研究井段的地层时代为晚渐新世—更新世,推测本井缺失了部分中新统沉积。依据钙质超微化石总丰度、分异度及特征性环境指示属或种的丰度变化,探讨了1 338.1～3086.1 m井段的沉积环境演化过程,可分为6个演化阶段。从晚渐新世至更新世,经历了海水由浅变深再变浅的过程,其中早中新世早期水深最浅,中中新世—早上新世水体温暖且水深最大。     

南海西沙群岛西科1井早中新世—第四纪生物礁地层中钙质超微化石的发现及其意义

西科1井0.10—1267.80m岩芯中钙质超微化石丰度低,属种比较单调。分析831个样品,仅在48个样品中发现钙质超微化石,共鉴定10属17种及1个未定种,主要化石种为Calcidiscus leptoporus,C.macintyrei,Coccolithus pelagicus,Cyclicargolithus floridanus,Gephyrocapsa caribbeanica,G.oceanica,Helicosphaera carteri,H.euphratis,Pontosphaera multipora,Pseudoemiliania lacunosa,Reticulofenestra minuta,R.minutula,Sphenolithus abies,S.moriformis和S.neoabies等。根据钙质超微化石生物事件及组合特征,结合有孔虫和大型底栖钙藻等研究结果,对西科1井0.10—1267.80m地层进行了划分,大致可划分为5段:1)0.10—212.20m地层属于第四系NN21—NN19带;2)214.29—328.69m归属于更新统NN18带至上新统;3)330.97—598.12m属于上新统NN15带至上中新统;4)599.53—1231.62m归属于中中新统至下中新统;5)1233.62—1267.80m为下中新统。由于化石丰度和分异度均较低,未建立完整的钙质超微化石带序列。根据钙质超微化石标志种及组合特征,确定研究井段的地层时代为早中新世至第四纪。西科1井生物礁地层中钙质超微化石的发现,对该井生物地层的划分起到了十分关键的作用。     

南海西南次海盆晚中新世钙质超微化石与古海洋演化

本文对南海西南次海盆IODP U1433站上中新统远洋粘土中的钙质超微化石生物地层学与属种组合作了较为详细研究。结果显示研究层位底部年龄在10.40-9.75 Ma之间,属于NN9带,向上共识别出8个钙质超微化石生物地层事件。依据生物地层框架、钙质超微化石总丰度与属种百分含量,发现西南次海盆在8.3-8 Ma以前处于上层海水分层性好,表层海水生产力较低的阶段;大约在8 Ma以后,生产力大幅增加。结合前人U1433站位物源研究结果,以及南海东亚季风强度变化史,作者认为钙质超微化石显示的生产力变化,与越南中部高地的抬升,以及东亚夏季风增强有关。     

冲绳海槽全新世钙质超微植物组合及气候分期

本文研究了冲绳海槽全新统钙质超微植物组合,计有21原生属58种。主要分子是Emiliania huxleyi和Gephyrocapsa oceanica,相当Martini(1971)划分的NN 21带,时代为晚更新世至全新世。 应用数理统计和生态分析的方法(根据钙质超微植物属种的多样度D,H(s)和冷、暖分子的百分含量)确定了海槽全新统的底界,即晚更新世晚玉木冰期和全新世冰后期的界线。本文还将全新统进行五分,各自相当于前北方期、北方期、大西洋期、亚北方期和亚大西洋期,并与我国黄海及日本、中欧全新世各气候期进行对比。 海槽表层钙质超微植物组合可与Roth和Coulbourn(1982)划分的北太平洋的中央带组合相对比,基本特征一致,但由于黑潮暖流流经本区,故属种多样度明显高于北太平洋。     

藏南桑单林剖面晚古新世放射虫动物群及其地质意义

本文描述的放射虫化石新材料发现于藏南桑单林剖面中部灰绿色硅质岩和硅质泥岩层段,共计21属33种,含5个未定种。通过与北大西洋和南太平洋古新世放射虫化石带进行对比,该放射虫动物群可归为晚古新世RP6 Bekoma campechensis带和RP7 Bekoma bidartensis带,时代为Selandian期至Thanetian晚期。综合剖面岩相、构造特征和已报道的放射虫化石组合,本文认为桑单林剖面是一套构造成因的混杂堆积,可能代表了新特提斯洋俯冲和后期印度-欧亚板块碰撞过程中形成的增生杂岩系。区域上,仲巴-萨嘎-江孜一带发现的晚古新世放射虫动物群和海相玄武岩表明,在晚古新世最晚期(大约56 Ma),西藏南部还存在着较大规模的深海沉积。     

珠江口盆地揭阳凹陷早渐新世-中新世古生物地层及沉积环境

位于珠江口盆地揭阳凹陷的S1井是盆地东南部唯一钻井,其地层和沉积环境分析意义重大。本研究通过对S1井孢粉、有孔虫和钙质超微化石地层对比分析,确定了所钻地层时代。井段(3 326.5～2 950 m)共鉴定孢粉40属62种,孢粉组合无明显变化,以桤木粉-双束松粉为主,组合与盆地内渐新统珠海组相同。整个分析段3 326.5～2 059.5 m共鉴定浮游有孔虫11属41种,依据标准种首末现事件共划分出P19-N6 5个带或联合化石带。钙质超微化石共鉴定8属24种,划分NP23-NN4共5个钙质超微化石带。综合判定:地层时代为早渐新世-早中新世(～31-18 Ma),渐新统与中新统的界限在2 876.5 m附近。利用浮游有孔虫的丰度和底栖有孔虫的组合来判别该地层的沉积环境,认为揭阳凹陷S1井在早渐新世-早中新世均为陆坡深水环境,水深1 000 m。

根据珠江口盆地新近系钙质超微化石研究文献,综述了研究内容及发展过程。纵观二十多年来珠江口盆地新近系钙质超微化石的研究历史,大致可分成两个阶段(1)上世纪80年代初至90年代初,侧重于化石带的报道及主要化石属种的描述;(2)上世纪90年代中后期至今,主要为高分辨率钙质超微生物地层研究阶段。评述了以往研究中存在的问题,明确了今后研究的方向与任务。     

西藏南部岗巴地区白垩纪中期钙质超微化石带和Cenomanian-Turonian界线

我国西藏南部海相白垩系含有较丰富的钙质超微化石。文中着重研究岗巴地区两个剖面 (即剖面A ,B)Albian Santonian钙质超微化石的分布。根据标志种的存在 ,识别出 5个初现面事件 ,相应地建立 6个钙质超微化石带 ,自下至上是Prediscosphaeracretacea带 ,Eiffellithusturriseiffeli带 ,Lithraphiditesacutum带 ,Gartneragoobliquum带 ,Quadrumgartneri带 ,Lucianorhabduscayeuxii带。同时 ,通过洲际对比 ,建议以G .obliquum初现面作为划分本区Cenomanian和Turonian界线的标志。此外 ,Q .gartneri带和I .cayeuxii带之间缺失多个化石带 ,据此推测Turonian至Santonian期间本区可能存在沉积间断。     

苏北盆地阜宁组钙质超微化石由来初探

对苏北盆地4个钻孔300余块心样品进行了分析,在阜宁组的8块样品中发现了钙质超微化石,计3属1种及3个比较种,化石属种单调,保存较 ,受到严重的溶蚀或增生,结合这些种类的分布时代和产出层位,很难排除苏北盆地阜宁组钙质超微化石再沉积的属性。     

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.
