Abundance and Ecology of Endemic Asterorotalia trispinosa from the Western Bay of Bengal: Implications for its Application as a Paleomonsoon Proxy

A total of 97 surface sediment samples were collected from the continental shelf and slope of the western Bay of Bengal to assess the potential application of Asterorotalia trispinosa as a paleomonsoon proxy. The relative abundance of living as well as total (living and dead) A. trispinosa ranges from being absent to a maximum of ~31%. The highest abundance of A. trispinosa is close to the outfall region of the Ganga-Brahmaputra Rivers and decreases away from the river mouths. Contrary to that, A. trispinosa is rare in front of both the Cauvery and Pennar river outfall regions, in the central part of the western Bay of Bengal. The living A. trispinosa abundance is the lowest in between two major river systems, viz. Ganga-Brahmaputra-Mahanadi and Krishna-Godavari. The relative abundance of both the total and living A. trispinosa is strongly positively correlated with ambient seawater temperature, and negatively correlated with %Corg and salinity. Based on the spatial distribution, we conclude that A. trispinosa is stenohaline in nature, rather than euryhaline, and further that the increased relative abundance of A. trispinosa indicates warmer and only marginally hyposaline environment. Even though the ecological preference of A. trispinosa suggests it as a potential paleomonsoon proxy, the restricted distribution implies limited application.     

Macrobioerosion and Microbioerosion in Marine Molluscan Shells from Holocene and Modern Beaches (39°−40°S, South of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina)

The marine sediments of the area of Verde Peninsula-Jabali Island(39°28′S/62°19′W-40°28′S/62°11′W) Holocene in age(3-2 ky),and modern beaches contain a significant amount of bioeroded mollusc shells.Fifteen sites were analyzed,in which 20.11%of the mollusc shells(2168 valves) presented bioerosion traces,in 54 species(30 bivalves and 24 gastropods).Fourteen ichnogenera were reported:Entobia,Maeandropoiydora,Iramena,Caulostrepsis,Pennatichnus,Pinaceocladichnus,Trypanites,and Gastrochaenolites(Domichnia),Gnathichnus and Radulichnus(Pascichnia),Finichnus and Centrichnus(Fixichnia),Oichnus(Praedicnia)(macrobioerosion),y Semidendrina(microbioerosion),the latter is first reported in mollusc shells in Argentina.Eleven ichnospecies were identified Finichnus peristroma,Maeandropoiydora sulcans,Gnathichnus pentax,Pinaceocladichnus onubensis,Caulostrepsis taeniola,Centrichnus eccentricus,Radulichnus inopinatus,Oichnus simplex,Oichnus paraboloides,Oichnus gradatus,and Gastrochaenolites torpedo(lithic remains).The dominant ichnogenera in the Holocene deposits are Iramena,Entobia and Oichnus.The same ichnogenera are constant with different abundance in the modern beaches,and increasing representation of Pinaceocladichnus and Pennatichnus.The dominant ichnofacies in the Holocene deposits is Trypanites,revealing a benthonic marine community composed of cheilostome bryzoans,clionaid sponges,predator gastropods,regular echinoids,polychaete annelids,bivalves,thallophytas and fungi.Generally,the area was described as a sublittoral,low-energy,stable environment with high rate of oxygenation,and sandy bottoms,with rocky bottoms at Villalonga locality.     

A New Species Group in the Genus Tanytarsus van der Wulp(Diptera:Chironomidae)Based on a Fossil Record from Baltic Amber

<正>A new fossil chironomid,Tanytarsus serafini,found in Baltic amber is described and illustrated based on adult males.The new species and similar extant species of the genus Tanytarsus van der Wulp are compared. Due to several distinct characters of wing,legs and hypopygium,a new species group for Tanytarsus serafini is proposed,and its diagnostic features are evaluated.     

Fossil Hydrophilid Beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) of the Late Oligocene Rott Formation (Germany)

<正>Fossil water scavenger beetles(Coleoptera:Hydrophilidae)of the latest Oligocene Rott Formation are revised,based on the examination of the type specimens,as well as numerous additional material from Statz(Los Angeles)and Kastenholz(Bonn)collections.Seven hydrophilid species are recognized,five of which are reliably attributed to the following genera:Berosus morticinus(von Heyden and von Heyden,1866),Paracymus excitatus (von Heyden and von Heyden,1866),Paracymus sp.,Hydrobiomorpha fraterna(von Heyden,1859),and Hydrophilus rottensis(Statz,1939).Coccinella? protogaeae Germar 1837 is attributed to the subtribe Hydrophilina, and Cymbiodyta? austera Statz 1939 to the subfamily Hydrophilinae.Hydrous ebeninus Statz 1939 and Paracymus excitatus(form 3)are excluded from the Hydrophiloidea.Berosus capitatus Statz 1939 is synonymized with Berosus morticinus,and Hydrous neptunus von Heyden and von Heyden 1866 with Hydrobiomorpha fraterna.Lectotypes of Philydrus morticinus von Heyden and von Heyden 1866 and Hydrous ebeninus Statz 1939 are designated.The significance of the hydrophilid fossils for paleoecological reconstructions of the former Rott Lake is briefly discussed.

塔中秋冬季大气稳定度频率分布

采用温度梯度法、理查逊数法、总体理查逊数法分别分析塔中地区秋、冬季的大气稳定度的差异以及大气稳定度的分布频率特征.结果表明:不同的方法对大气稳定度的计算结果有很大影响,采用Ri法和BRi法能够较好的反映塔中秋冬季大气稳定度的变化;塔中秋、冬季大气层结以稳定层结为主,不稳定层结出现频率次之,中性层结出现的频率最小;秋季、冬季稳定度频率有一定差异,秋季中性层结、稳定层结频率小于冬季,不稳定层结大于冬季.     

1918年广东南澳大地震的类型和区域构造应力场分析

1918年2月13日14时07分在广东南澳东北侧海中发生的7.3级地震,是本世纪我国东南诸省(台湾除外)的最大地震,波及粤、闽、赣、浙、台、苏、沪、皖、鄂、湘、桂等省市自治区,震中烈度十度,造成相当大的破坏和伤亡。重新查阅上海保存的地震记录,发现在次日04时25分又发生一次7.0级地震和一系列小于6级的余震。两次大震的震级相近,所释放的能量占整个地震序列总能量的99.4%。因此,这次地震属双震型。利用丰富的宏观资料绘制了该次地震的等震线图,求得了该次地震的震源机制解,判定该次地震是由于泉州——汕头断裂带左旋走向滑动的结果。     

康滇地轴重熔花岗岩的演化及其锡-钨成矿系列探讨

康滇地轴是我国著名的南北向构造带。沿安宁河-易门、绿汁江等深断裂,分布着一组晋宁一澂江期的重熔花岗岩,在其接触带产有各种类型的锡-钨矿床。这些矿床构成了我国时代最老,以锡、钨为主并伴有铁、铜、铅、锌等的一个成矿带。研究该带各成矿元素之间的内在联系和演化历史,有助于深入认识矿床成因和区域成矿规律,为综合普查找矿提供地质依据。     

新疆人口分布与经济发展不一致性时空演变分析

利用人口分布与经济发展的不一致性指数和空间自相关模型,从时空角度出发,对1993,2003,2014年新疆人口分布与经济发展的不一致性现象的空间分布及地域关联性进行分析。结果表明:1 1993—2014年新疆人口分布与经济发展呈现严重的不平衡,二者之间存在错位现象,人口集聚高于经济集聚成为主要特征。人口的空间分布与区域经济之间关系有所协调,但仍具有不均衡性。2新疆人口经济不一致性地域分异明显,各类型区在空间分布上存在集聚性。3新疆人口分布与经济发展的不一致性存在正的、显著的空间自相关性,且这种相关性有增强的趋势。局部空间自相关分析下,全疆人口分布与经济发展的不一致性从东到西形成了"低-低""不显著""高-高"平行分布的集聚格局,且"低-低"与"高-高"的分布格局具有背向性,新疆人口经济不一致性的现状正在逐步改善。
