八种沙鼠亚科和田鼠亚科啮齿动物阴茎的比较研究

本文对我国仓鼠科沙鼠亚科和田鼠亚科8种啮齿动物的阴茎进行了比较解剖学研究。分析了两亚科的沙鼠属(Meriones)、大沙鼠属(Rhombomys)、田鼠属(Microtus)和绒鼠属(Eothenomys)4个属之间以及同属的种间异同。结果证明阴茎头(包括阴茎骨和软体结构)的形态结构具有属和种的稳定性和特异性,可以作为分类学研究的重要依据。     

柏科分类和分布：亚科,族和属

柏科Cupressaceae和杉科Taxodiaceae有许多相似之处,近年来不少分类学家主张把两科合并成广义的柏科。原杉科中的金松属Sciadopitys与两科其他属的差异较大,被提升为单种科Sciadopity-aceae。本文根据球果可育种鳞的位置把柏科(狭义)分为2亚科,即上部种鳞不可育的柏木亚科Cupres-soideae和上部种鳞可育的澳洲柏亚科Callitroideae。综合其他形态学和解剖学证据,柏木亚科又分4族,即柏木族Cupresseae(包括:柏术属Cupressus、杂交柏属×Cupressocyparis、扁柏属Chamaecyparis和福建柏属Fokeinia)、侧柏族Thujopsideae(包括:崖柏属Thuja、罗汉柏属Thujopsis和侧柏属Platycladus)、圆柏族Junipereae(包括:圆柏属Juniperus和海参威柏属Microbiota)以及香漆柏族Tetraclineae(包括:翠柏属Calocedrus和香漆柏属Tetraclinis)。澳洲柏亚科又分3族,即澳洲柏族Actinostrobeae(包括:西澳柏属Actinostuobus、澳洲柏属Callitris、智利柏属Fitzroya和杉叶柏属Neocallitropsis)、南非柏族Widdring-toneae(包括:白智利柏属Pilgerodendron、塔斯曼柏属Diselma和南非柏属Widdringtonia)以及甜柏族Libocedreae(包括:甜柏属Libocedrus、巴布亚柏属Papuacedrus和南美柏属Austrocedrus)。柏科21个属的地理分布可划分为5种类型,即:(     

基于28S rRNA基因序列的中国寄蝇亚科部分种类分子系统发育研究(双翅目:寄蝇科)

本研究基于中国地区双翅目寄蝇科寄蝇亚科5族10属17种昆虫的28S r RNA基因序列,分别利用PAUP4.0b和MEGA5.05软件的邻接法(NJ)、最大简约法(MP)和最小进化法(ME),选取追寄蝇亚科的黄足突额寄蝇Biomeigenia flava和麻蝇科的红尾拉麻蝇Ravinia striata为外群,重建寄蝇亚科部分种类的系统发育树。结果表明:测得的696 bp寄蝇亚科核苷酸片段,包括127个变异位点和52个简约信息位点;不同方法得到的系统发育树的拓扑结构基本一致。本研究结果部分解决了基于形态学定义的该亚科内族间、属间的系统发育关系:(1)支持寄蝇亚科、寄蝇族分别为一个单系群;(2)支持形态分类的将诺寄蝇属Nowickia Wachtl并入寄蝇属Tachina Meigen并作为后者的一个亚属的结论;(3)同时支持将短须寄蝇族Linnaemyini并入埃内寄蝇族Ernestiini。     

麻楝梢斑螟的初步研究

<正> 麻楝梢斑螟Hypsipyla robusta(Moore)属鳞翅目螟蛾科斑螟亚科。俗名叫钻心虫。是麻楝、红楝子等珍贵树种的重要害虫。幼虫蛀食嫩梢,当主梢被害后,就萌生侧梢,因而造成过早分叉,树干弯曲,除严重影响树木的生长外,还大大降低了木材的工艺价值,有的树因萌生的嫩梢被反复为害而引起整枝死亡。为此,近几年来,我们在海南岛尖峰岭对该虫进行了初步研究。     

柏科的分类和分布:亚科、族和属

柏科Cupressaceae和杉科Taxcdiaceae有许多相似之处,近年来不少分类学家主张把两科合并成 广义的柏科。原杉科中的金松属Sciadopitys与两科其他屑的差异较大,被提升为单种科Sciadopity- aceae。本文根据球果可育种鳞的位置把柏科(狭义)分为2亚科,即上部种鳞不可育的柏木亚科Cupres- soideae和上部种鳞可育的澳洲柏亚科Callitroideae。综合其他形态学和解剖学证据,柏木亚科又分4族,即柏木族Cupresseae(包括：柏木属Cupressus、杂交柏属X Cupressocyparis、扁柏屑Chamaecyparis和福建柏属Fokeinia)、侧柏族Thujopsideae(包括：崖柏属Thuja、罗汉柏属Thujopsis和侧柏属laty-ladus)、圆柏族Junlpereae(包括：圆柏属Junzperus和海参威柏属Microbiota)以及香漆柏族Tetraclineae(包括：翠柏属Calt*edrus和香漆柏属Tetraclinis)。澳洲柏亚科又分3族,即澳洲柏族Actinostrobeae(包括：西澳柏属Actinostrobus、澳洲柏属Callitris、智利柏属Fitzroya和杉叶柏属Neocallitropsis)、南非柏族Widdringtoneae(包括：白智利柏属Pilgerodendron、塔斯曼柏属Diselma和南非柏属Widdringtonia)以及甜柏族Libocedreae(包括：甜柏属Libocedrus、巴布亚柏屑Papuacedrus和南美柏属Austrocedrus)。柏科21个属的地理分布可划分为5种类型,即：(1)杂交柏属系英国选出的属间杂交类型;(2)分布非洲、欧洲、亚洲和北美洲的属,有柏木属和圆柏属2个属;(3)东亚—北美洲际间断分布的属,有扁柏属、崖柏属和翠柏属3个属;(4)分布区较窄的属,包括西澳柏属,、澳洲柏属、甜柏屑、巴布亚柏属、南非柏属5个属;(5)单种屑,包括福建柏属、海参威柏属、罗汉柏属、侧柏属、香漆柏属、杉叶柏属、塔斯曼柏属、智利柏屑、南美柏属和白智利柏属等10个属。该科属的3个地理分布中心是：东亚(9属)、北美西南部(5属)、澳大利亚及其东部附近群岛(6属)。此外,地中海沿岸分布3属,智利南部和阿根廷分布3属。     

基于线粒体COI基因探讨鹟亚科部分属和种的分类地位

采用PCR扩增、测序的方法,对鹟亚科(Muscicapinae)6属16种鸟类的线粒体COI基因序列1176bp进行测定,并以荒漠伯劳和发冠卷尾作为外群构建Bayes、ML、MP3棵系统发育树。结果支持:寿带属(Terpsiphone)、扇尾鹟属(Rhipidura)、方尾鹟属(Culicicapa)3属与鹟亚科其他鸟类亲缘关系较远,扇尾鹟属与方尾鹟属亲缘关系较近;鹟属(Muscicapa)为单系发生,本研究结果未能确定它与仙鹟属、姬鹟属的进化关系;铜蓝鹟(Muscicapa thalassina)从鹟属中移出,归入仙鹟属。上述结论解决了鹟亚科部分属间的进化关系,为鹟亚科分类系统的研究提供了分子水平证据。

Polymorphic microsatellite loci in the widespread amphidromous goby Sicyopterus lagocephalus and cross-genus amplification among Sicydiinae

Microsatellite DNA markers were isolated in an amphidromous goby (Sicyopterus lagocephalus) from a partial genomic library enriched for AC repeats. Eight microsatellites were highly polymorphic with six to 33 alleles per locus and expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.53 to 0.97. Cross-species amplifications were performed within the sub-family Sicydiinae by genotyping individuals from two species of the genus Cotylopus. Some of these loci were successfully amplified and showed polymorphism in the second genus.     

Comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the sub-family Dipterocarpoideae (Dipterocarpaceae) based on chloroplast DNA sequences

Dipterocarpoideae, the largest sub-family of well-known plant family Dipterocarpaceae, dominates in South Asian rain forests. Although several previous studies addressed the phylogeny of the Dipterocarpaceae family, relationships among many of its genera from the Dipterocarpoideae sub-family are still not well understood. In particular, little is known about the relationships of the genera Vateriopsis, Stemonoporus, Vateria and inconsistence remains between phylogenetic results and taxonomic classifications of Shorea and Hopea species. We studied molecular phylogeny of the sub-family Dipterocarpoideae using the trnL-trnF spacer, trnL intron and the matK gene sequences of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA). This study is the first comprehensive phylogeny reconstruction for the sub-family Dipterocarpoideae based on cpDNA, as it includes most genera (14) and a large number of species (79) with most species endemic to Sri Lanka, as well as one species from Seychelles and one species from the genus Monotes from Madagascar. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using the Neighbor Joining (NJ) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) methods using combined set of sequences including all three cpDNA regions. The topologies of the NJ and ML trees were to a certain extent, consistent with the current taxonomy of Dipterocarpoideae based on morphology and with previous molecular phylogenies based on cpDNA. Furthermore, our results provided new evidence regarding the relationships of the following genera: Vateriopsis and Stemonoporus and about the validity of the previous morphology based classifications of Shorea species. In addition, the topology of our trees was consistent with the classification of Shorea species proposed by Maury (1978), Maury-Lechon (1979) and Symington (1943). Finally, our results provided evidence for the affinity of the genus Monotes to Asian Dipterocarpoideae rather than to Tiliaceae and indicated that it is a good candidate for outgroup species for future studies of the former sub-family.     

New braconid wasps from French Cretaceous amber (Hymenoptera, Braconidae): synonymization with Eoichneumonidae and implications for the phylogeny of Ichneumonoidea

Two new fossils of Braconidae are described from Albian-Cenomanian amber of south-western France, Protorhyssalodes arnaudi gen. n., sp. n., and Aenigmabracon capdoliensis gen. n., sp. n. The former appears superficially similar to the type genus and species of the extinct sub-family Protorhyssalinae, from Turonian New Jersey amber specimens, and the latter both to Protorhyssalus and to members of the extinct family Eoichneumonidae. However, both new taxa display unique combinations of wing venation characters making confident assignment to sub-family impossible. Indeed, they are the first braconids ever known to possess both vein 2-CU and a distinct trace of vein 2-1A on hindwing. The new fossil taxa are incorporated into a morphological analysis of extinct and extant ichneumonoids. As a result of the analyses we synonymize the Eoichneumonidae with the Braconidae.     

Contribution a la connaissancce des rhapydionininae (foraminifères, alveolinidae) crétacés

The formerly unknown microspheric form of Raadshoovenia salentina (Papetti and Tedeschi) and the new genus Cyclopseudedomia (type-species Cyclopseudedomia smouti n.g., n.sp.) are described from limestones of Campanian-Maastrichtian age from Gavrovo-Tripolitza zone in Greece. The new genus is distinguished from others of the sub-family RhapydionininaeKeijzer emend. Hamaoui and Fourcade by its almost entirely evolute test made of chambers tending to a cyclical stage (rapidly reached in the microspheric form).     

Phylogenetic relationships of Ponto-Caspian gobies and their relationship to the Atlantic—Mediterranean Gobiinae

A phylogenetic analysis for five Ponto-Caspian goby species belonging to the two genera Neogobius and Proterorhinus assigned to the sub-family Gobionellinae was conducted, with five Atlantic—Mediterranean species of sub-family Gobiinae, genera Gobius and Zosterisessor , as outgroup taxa. One hundred and two characters (37 continuous cranial osteological, 50 continuous external morphological, five discrete external morphological, four karyological, two vertebral and four external discrete qualitative characters) were studied. Parsimony analysis revealed that the two zoogeographically distinct groups of goby species comprise distinct phyletic lineages that are sister groups. The relation of neogobiids to the sub-family Gobiinae was reconsidered, due to the sharing of the same state for the diagnostic character. The recently proposed classification for the genera Proterorhinus and Zosterisessor was rejected. The status of several of the lower ranked taxa was also considered [e.g. Gobius bucchichi as a member of the genus Zosterisessor and the sub-generic status of Neogobius (Neogobius) fluviatilis and Neogobius ( Apollonia ) melanostomus ]. The paleohistorical data suggest that those lineages, which may both descend from pre-Oligocene Indo-Pacific ancestors, separated at least 12 million years ago, during the early Miocene, after the formation of the Paratethys Sea, and then evolved independently. The Tethyan gobiine species evolved in the marine environment of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The Ponto-Caspian (i.e. Paratethyan) gobies of the genera Neogobiusa and Proterorhinus diverged in the late Miocene or early Pliocene. They probably evolved in the freshwater refuge in the Daccian Basin of the Paratethys Sea (the recent Black Sea basin).     

Salt Glands in the Zoysieae

Salt glands were found in two species of the genus Zoysia ofthe tribe Zoysieae, sub-family Chloridoideae (Poaceae). Glandsprotrude from and are recumbent to the leaf epidermis, and consistof two cells, a basal cell and upper cap cell. Glands were betterdeveloped on the adaxial surfaces. Those on the abaxial surfaceappear to be non-functional. Zoysia matrella, the more salt-tolerantspecies, had a higher density of larger glands, and secretedmore sodium per unit leaf mass, resulting in much lower leafsap osmolalities than those of the more salt-sensitive Z. japonica.The finding of salt glands in the tribe Zoysieae confirms itsrelation to the four other tribes within the sub-family Chloridoideaein which salt glands have previously been reported.

Pancreatonema torriensis gen. nov., sp. nov. (Nematoda: Rhabdochonidae) from the pancreatic duct of Raja naevus

A new genus and species of nematode, Pancreatonema torriensis, from the pancreatic duct of Raja naevus caught off Aberdeen and north-west Scotland is described and aspects of its biology are discussed. According to the classification of Skrjabin, Sobolev & Ivashkin (1967) [Spirurata of animals and man and the diseases caused by them (4). Essentials of Nematodology, Vol. 16 (I.P.S.T. Translation No. 5904, Jerusalem, 1971)]it belongs to the family Rhabdochonidae, sub-family Prosungulonematinae, and is closely related to the genus Johnstonmawsonia. The taxonomy of the Prosungulonematinae is confused but it is suggested that Johnstonmawsonia should at present be restricted to those species of the genus described from marine teleosts, and that the species from freshwater teleosts should be included in the genus Prosungulonema.
