河北秦皇岛柳江盆地中更新世野兔一新种

在河北秦皇岛柳江盆地山羊寨附近中更新世洞穴堆积中发现一种小型野兔化石:秦皇岛兔Lepus qinhuangdaoensis sp.nov.,该种以其个体小、p3后外褶沟深达内侧齿缘或贯穿整个齿冠面、部分标本p3具有釉岛及前内褶沟等特征区别于其他已知种。它是迄今为止所知的体形最小的野兔。     

贝加尔湖区中中新世Aya洞穴地点戈壁古仓鼠一新种(英文)

报道了产自贝加尔湖区中中新世Aya洞穴的戈壁古仓鼠(Gobicricetodon)一新种G.filippovisp.nov.。该种以较小的个体和牙齿上的一些原始特征区别于该属其他种类。先前的研究认为Gobicricetodon与近古仓鼠(Plesiodipus)同属于戈壁古仓鼠亚科,然而,它们与欧亚大陆一些置于古仓鼠亚科(Cricetodontinae)内的属在牙齿形态上的高度相似性表明其亲缘关系。为了理清Gobicricetodon和Plesiodipus与Cricetodontinae之间的系统发育关系,也为了阐明这一类群属和属以上级别的分类,使用Mesquite2.72软件作了分支系统学分析。结果获得了3个主要的分支类群,Gobicricetodon,Plesiodipus,Mixocricetodon和Tsaganocricetus同属于其中的一个分支。令人惊奇的是,一些欧洲古仓鼠(Cricetodon)的种,包括其模式种C.sansaniensis也在这一分支内。此外,支序分析还显示上述类群可能起源于欧亚大陆西部的Cricetodon支系。分析的另一项结果指示,Cricetodon属显然是一个多系类群,需要进一步划分为多个属。

A SPALACOLESTINE SPALACOTHERIID (MAMMALIA,TRECHNOTHERIA) FROM THE EARLY CRETACEOUS (BARREMIAN) OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND AND ITS BEARING ON SPALACOTHERIID EVOLUTION

Abstract: Bulk screening of Early Cretaceous (Barremian) Wealden Group strata of the Wessex Formation exposed on the south‐west and south‐east coasts of the Isle of Wight, southern England, has resulted in the recovery of fragmentary remains pertaining to a new spalacolestine spalacotheriid mammal, Yaverlestes gassoni gen. et sp. nov. These represent the first European record of the Spalacolestinae. The remains comprise a dentulous incomplete dentary and isolated upper and lower molariforms, the former representing the most substantial mammal remains yet recovered from the Wealden Group. Hitherto, six species of spalacotheriid mammal were known from the Lower Cretaceous of Europe. All are referred to the genus Spalacotherium but in the case of taxa diagnosed on the basis of isolated lower teeth and other specimens where the post‐canine dentition is incompletely known, it is now evident that these referrals should be treated with caution. Furthermore, the new Wessex Formation spalacotheriid and recently described spalacotheriids from the ?Barremian of Japan, and the Barremian and Aptian of China exhibit combinations of characters that suggest that spalacotheriids were more diverse and that their evolution was more complex than previously recognized. The systematic position of an isolated tooth from the basal Cretaceous Lourinhã Formation of Portugal is discussed and the tooth reassigned to the Spalacotheriidae. Together with the new Wessex Formation taxon, eight species are now known from the Lower Cretaceous of Europe. The discovery of a spalacolestine in the Barremian Wessex Formation supports the concept of faunal interchange between Europe, Asia and North America during the Early Cretaceous. It also supports derivation of North American spalacotheriids from a European or Eurasian ancestor.

安徽上新五褶兔两新种及淮南上新五褶兔化石

近年,作者在安徽淮南大居山陆续发现了数量很多的上新五褶兔化石,其中包括保存较完整的数十个头骨及上百个下颌骨,均产自新洞、无名洞及铁四局洞穴、裂隙堆积,分别记述为大居山上新五褶兔Pliopentalagus dajushanensis sp.nov.和安徽上新五褶兔Pl.anhuiensis sp.nov.两新种。淮南地区的晚新生代洞穴和裂隙堆积十分发育,其中常含有丰富的脊椎动物化石,而且在时、空分布上有一定的规律。区内洞穴和裂隙堆积垂直分布至少有6个水平层,最高的第6层海拔高度为160 m(如大居山老洞),第5层(如大居山新洞、无名洞)及第4层(如大居山铁四局洞穴)的海拔高度分别为130 m和90 m,属于新近纪,常含有丰富的上新五褶兔化石;第3层为第四纪早期(如大居山西裂隙),未见上新五褶兔,代之出现丝绸兔(Sericolagus sp.),第2层为中更新世(如大顶山西裂隙),出现野兔(Lepus sp.)。迄今为止,安徽淮南地区共发现了3种上新五褶兔化石,即淮南上新五褶兔Pl.huainanensis (金昌柱,2004)、大居山上新五褶兔Pl.dajushanensis sp.nov.及安徽上新五褶兔Pl. anhuiensis sp.nov.,至少涉及了3个不同地质时期的动物群:一为Pl.huainanensis,Kowalskia neimengensis,Adcrocuta eximia等代表的老洞晚中新世动物群,二为Pl.dajushanensis sp.nov.和Promimomys asiaticus等代表的新洞早上新世动物群,三为Pl.anhuiensis sp.nov.和Kowalskia yinanensis所代表的晚上新世动物群。淮南地区发现的3种上新五褶兔地史分布较连续,演化特征明显,它们构成上新五褶兔连续的进化系列。从晚中新世至晚上新世,淮南大居山上新五褶兔体型从小变大;p3较原始的釉岛状后内褶沟逐渐向舌侧开放(晚中新世种Pl. huainanensis的后内褶沟均为釉岛状,早上新世种Pl.dajushanensis为83.9%,晚上新世种Pl. anhuiensis为33.3%);p4-m2的前外褶沟逐渐退化,其下跟座舌侧的釉质层越来越变细。依性状分析,安徽发现的3种上新五褶兔化石与日本琉球奄美黑兔(Pentalagus furnessi)具有密切的亲缘关系,但从日本奄美黑兔的p4-m2完全缺失前外褶沟、颊齿褶沟釉质层的褶曲异常复杂等衍生性状看,上新五褶兔和奄美黑兔的系统演化关系较为复杂,尚有待发现更多早更新世的材料进一步探讨。

MORPHOLOGY, LIFE HISTORY, AND MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF CHORDA RIGIDA, SP. NOV. (LAMINARIALES, PHAEOPHYCEAE) FROM THE SEA OF JAPAN AND THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF CHORDA FILUM

Chorda rigida Kawai et Arai, sp. nov. (Chordaceae, Laminariales) is described from the Sea of Japan, NW Pacific. This species resembles Chorda filum (Linnaeus) Stackhouse but is distinguished by the following characteristics: 1) the sporophytes grow on more or less exposed rocks at 2–7 m depth and do not form dense tufts; 2) compared with C. filum , sporophytes of C. rigida are much more rigid and are composed of denser cortical layers (6–18 cells thick); 3) C. filum becomes fertile and disappears in late spring to summer, whereas C. rigida appears in early summer, oversummers, and becomes fertile only in late autumn at the same localities; 4) in culture, C. rigida sporophytes tolerate higher temperature conditions (20 and 25° C) than C. filum; and 5) C. rigida has considerably longer sequences of the rDNA ITS region than does C. filum . The independence of the species is further supported by molecular phylogenetic analyses using sequence of the ITS + 5.8S ribosomal DNA. Interestingly, C. filum is shown to be genetically diverse and possibly paraphyletic, and it may require subdivision into several species or subspecies. The rbc L and associated spacer sequence data established monophyly of the genus Chorda among Laminariales, but the resolution was limited for discussing the phylogenetic relationships within the genus.
