PEKING VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGISTS CELEBRATE 10th ANNIVERSARY OF IVPP

On April first about sixty scientists in the fields of vertebrate paleontology and related sciences gathered in the lecture hall of the IVPP building to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Institute. Since its founding in 1929 the Institute had been operating in connection, first, with the former Geological Survey of China, and later with the Paleontological Institute, Nanking. Since April of 1953 it has been an independent in-     

后记（英文）

正Half a century ago,the first discovery of the Paleocene vertebrates at Dinghuawu,Xiaoshi,Huaining County opened a door for understanding the Paleocene vertebrate fauna in the Qianshan Basin,Anhui Province,China.Since 1970,colleagues from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology(IVPP),Chinese Academy of Sciences have carried out a long term and continuous investigations to the Qianshan Paleocene,with     

Tsen-Hwang Shaw: Founder of Vertebrate Zoology in China

"The founder of vertebrate zoology in China;an erudite scholar of insect,fish,bird and mammal research;combining taxonomy and animal ecology,and pioneering in biostatis-tics."These are memorial comments written by Chinese mammalogist Wuping Xia on the 15th anniversary of the death of Professor Tsen-Hwang Shaw(寿振黄,1899-1964),which offers an overview of the academic contributions of Professor Shaw(Fig.1).     

前言:纪念杨钟健院士诞辰120周年（英文）

<正>120 years ago,1897,Prof.Dr.Yang Zhongjian(C.C.Young)was born in Huaxian,Shaanxi Province:the birth of a great scientist.90 years ago,in 1927,Prof.Yang’s doctoral dissertation"Fossile Nagetiere aus Nord-China",was published in Palaeontologia Sinica C,V(3);this marked the beginning of study of vertebrate paleontology(VP)by the Chinese people.     

Professor Haowen Xu:The founder of exercise biochemistry in China

Professor Haowen Xu(许豪文,1935-2004) was a famous sports scientist and the founder of Exercise Biochemistry in China (Fig.1).He dedicated his life to the study of sports science and made tremendous contributions to the formation and growth of the field of Exercise Biochemistry in China.He was the first to use theories of exercise biochemistry and sports medicine to guide athletes' training and competition in China (Yu,2006).     

Effects of temperature acclimation on body mass and energy budget in the Chinese bulbul Pycnonotus sinensis

Chinese bulbuls(Pycnonotus sinensis) are small passerine birds that inhabit areas of central, southern and eastern China. Previous observations suggest that free–living individuals of this species may change their food intake in response to seasonal changes in ambient temperature. In the present study, we randomly assigned Chinese bulbuls to either a 30 °C or 10 °C group, and measured their body mass(BM), body temperature, gross energy intake(GEI), digestible energy intake(DEI), and the length and mass of their digestive tracts over 28 days of acclimation at these temperatures. As predicted, birds in the 30 °C group had lower body mass, GEI and DEI relative to those in the 10 °C group. The length and mass of the digestive tract was also lower in the 30 °C group and trends in these parameters were positively correlated with BM, GEI and DEI. These results suggest that Chinese bulbuls reduced their absolute energy demands at relatively high temperatures by decreasing their body mass, GEI and DEI, and digestive tract size.
