Cryptic diversity and phylogeography of the island‐associated barnacle Chthamalus moro in Asia

Pleistocene glaciations were among the important historic events that shaped the population structures of marine organisms. Genetic studies of different marine fauna and flora have demonstrated the effect of Pleistocene glaciations on taxa that reside in marginal seas. However, how marine island species responded to Pleistocene glaciations remains relatively unstudied, especially in Asia. Genetic analyses based on the island‐associated barnacle Chthamalus moro collected from 14 sites in Asia reveal that C. moro comprises three distinct lineages, with COI divergence ranging from 3.9 to 8.3%. Population genetic analyses on respective lineages reveal signs of demographic expansion within the Pleistocene epoch at different times. The Ogasawara lineage, which has a more oceanic distribution, expanded the earliest, followed by the population expansion of the Ryukyu and Southern lineages that inhabit islands closer to the continent. The data suggest that the inhabitants of outer islands may have been less affected by Pleistocene glaciations than those that reside closer to the continent, as the former were able to maintain a large, stable, effective population size throughout the late Pleistocene.     

Annual oceanic heat transports computed from an atmospheric model

Mean annual estimates of the oceanic poleward energy transport are obtained using a global atmospheric general circulation model. The computations are carried out by using the atmospheric model to determine the net annual heat flux into the ocean on an 8° × 10° grid. Assuming no net annual heat storage, the annual surface heat fluxes into any zonal band must be accompanied by a corresponding meridional heat transport in the ocean. Heat is transported northward at all latitudes in the Atlantic Ocean and is transported poleward in both hemispheres in the Pacific Ocean. To account for the net northward transport throughout the Atlantic, heat is transported into the Atlantic from the Indian and Pacific basins. The results are compared with several recent direct and indirect calculations of oceanic meridional heat transports.     

中国渤海湾盆地上地壳岩石成分模型(英文)

许多地震属性,比如地震的纵横波速度,泊松比,声波阻抗,都能用来区分不同的岩石类型,利用拉梅阻抗作为进一步的约束来代替声波阻抗能更好的降低结果的非唯一性。我们用这种方法构建了渤海湾地区一条剖面的岩石成分模型。我们简要介绍了区分岩石类型的地震参数,重点在于不同的参数组合对于分辨岩石类型的敏感性。为了与室温常压条件下测得的有代表性的岩石的地震波速度和密度进行对比,我们首先需要做温度和压力的校正。接着,我们需要用已知资料和实验测得的各种岩石样品做对比,来确定研究区的岩石类型。我们收集了渤中凹陷一条剖面的纵波速度资料。该剖面10km深范围内的属于同种岩石类型的不同岩石最终通过地震波速度、泊松比、密度、声波阻抗、以及拉梅阻抗综合约束。
