Eualus heterodactylus sp. nov., a new hippolytid shrimp from Chinese coast of the Yellow Sea （Crustacea,Decapoda, Caridea）

A new species from the caridean family Hippolytidae, Eualus heterodactylus sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on the specimens collected from Chinese coast of the Yellow Sea. The new species is a part of an informal species group characterized by the possession of epipods on the anterior three pairs of pereopods, and is distinguished from other species of this group by the dactyli of the third to fifth pereopods possessing distinctly stair-like flexor margins in males.

Effects of corridor networks on plant species composition and diversity in an intensive agriculture landscape

The development of modern agriculture has resulted in much homogenization of the landscape consisting of large patches of farmland,so small remnant non-crop habitats especially linear corridors play an important role in the conservation of species and the maintenance of ecosystem functions.However,little attention has been paid to the effects of corridors structural characteristics on the plant species restricted to such habitats.In this study,we selected three types of corridors including ditch,hedgerow and road,and ana-lyzed their structural characteristics.The plant species presented in these corridors were investigated,and the species diversity,abun-dance and frequency were estimated.Moreover,spatial arrangements of corridors were classified into different types to discuss whether there were significant effects of corridor network on plant distribution.The results show that three types of corridors have different ef-fects on plant species composition and diversity.The one-one combined corridor networks and total network associated by three corri-dors have more complex structural features than each single type of corridor.However,there is no strong correlation between the corri-dor networks with their plant species.We suggest that carrying out a pointed vegetation survey at corridor intersections to further test the relationships between structural features of corridor and plants is necessary.     

Ecological indicators showing the succession of macrofauna communities in Sonneratia apetala artificial mangrove wetlands on Qi’ao Island at Zhuhai, South China

The Sonneratia apetala artificial mangroves in the intertidal zone of Da Wei Bay at Qi’ao Island of Zhu-hai, South China were chosen as the macrofauna succession plots while bare tidal flats of the same size were established as control plots in surrounding interference-free areas. Conventional change indicators of community structure, such as biomass and biodiversity, and indicators, such as exergy and specific exergy, which reflect the information change of overall communities, were used to analyze the succession of macro-fauna communities inS. apetala artificial mangroves. The similarities and differences in variation tendency of the different ecological indicators and their reflected ecological principles were compared. The results showed that from D-1 to D-1275 after plantingS. apetala, the biomass of the macrofauna communities first increased, which was then followed by an increase in the network relationship between the macrofauna communities （analysis of the Pielou evenness index and Shannon-Wiener diversity index）. The system in-formation （specific exergy） increased the slowest. Between D-1460 and D-2370 after plantingS. apetala, there was a decrease in biomass, network structure, and system information in the succession plots. After the decrease in the system information （the specific exergy）, there was a decline in the network relationships （Pielou evenness index and Shannon-Wiener diversity index）. Biomass was the last indicator to decrease. The similarities and differences among the different ecological indicators varied during the succession pro-cess, which reflected the relativity and differences among the indicators. This study suggested that, although the species diversity index can be an effective indicator of two types of changes （network structure and system information）, it was quite clear that species diversity measurement was not suitable for expressing the changes in biomass during the succession process. While exergy and specific exergy can provide useful information     

A Bingham-plastic model for fluid mud transport under waves and currents

Simplified equations of fluid mud motion, which is described as Bingham-Plastic model under waves and currents, are presented by order analysis. The simplified equations are non-linear ordinary differential equations which are solved by hybrid numerical-analytical technique. As the computational cost is very low, the effects of wave current parameters and fluid mud properties on the transportation velocity of the fluid mud are studied systematically. It is found that the fluid mud can move toward one direction even if the shear stress acting on the fluid mud bed is much smaller than the fluid mud yield stress under the condition of wave and current coexistence. Experiments of the fluid mud motion under current with fluctuation water surface are carried out. The fluid mud transportation velocity predicted by the presented mathematical model can roughly match that measured in experiments.     

深海原生动物多样性研究进展

<正>1引言原生动物是一大类单细胞真核生物的统称,其中自由生活的主要类群包括异养鞭毛虫、纤毛虫和肉足虫(有孔虫和放射虫为代表);它们是生物圈中数量最为庞大的吞噬营养类群,部分种类具有内共生藻类或功能性叶绿体而进行兼性营养。在水环境中,不论是浮游或是底栖生活的原生动物,其生命过程与水体和底质的环境存在着密切的联系;并且通过各种营养关系与其他生物共同联结成为一个有机整体。同时,原生动物的基础研究也为探索真核生     

香港 国家地质公园

正香港地质公园于2009年成为中国国家地质公园,于2011年加入世界地质公园网络,名为中国香港国家地质公园。香港地质公园位于香港东部和东北部,面积约150平方公里。根据地质环境特点,公园分为西贡火山岩园区和新界东北沉积岩园区,每个园区细分为4个景区,合共八个景区。由于交通便利,离市区只有咫尺之遥,被誉为都市里的地质公园。西贡火山岩园区坐落在一个有1.4亿年历史的巨大破火山口上。在直径超过10公里呈椭圆状的破火山口内,布满了罕有的酸性火山岩六角柱,石柱平均直径1.2米,近破火山口中心的石柱直径超过2米;石柱一般高数十     

热带浮游植物将被迫“搬家”去极地?

浮游植物指悬浮于水中的微小藻类植物,是浮游生物中的自养生物部分。浮游植物广泛存在于河流、湖泊和海洋中,多分布于水域的上层,个体极小,需要用显微镜才能观察到,繁殖极快。在淡水中主要是蓝藻、绿藻、硅藻等,在海水中主要是硅藻、甲藻。
