金门岛红树林湿地海洋线虫群落结构的初步探究

本研究于2021年2月在金门岛红树林湿地设置2个断面4个采样站位进行沉积物样品采集,对小型底栖动物的类群组成,海洋线虫群落的优势属、优势种和摄食类型等方面进行研究。结果表明：共鉴定出10个小型底栖动物类群,包括海洋线虫、桡足类、寡毛类、多毛类、涡虫、有孔虫、腹足类、涟虫、双壳类和缓步类;其中海洋线虫为最优势类群,占小型底栖动物总数的93.93%。共鉴定出海洋线虫51种或分类实体,隶属于4目15科31属。建功屿断面JH站位鉴定出11属16种,其优势属（数量百分比≥5%）为Ptycholaimellus、Viscosia、Daptonema、Dorylaimopsis、Parasphaerolaimus、Anoplostoma,优势种为Ptycholaimellus sp.1、Viscosia sp.1、Daptonema ungula、Dorylaimopsis sp.1、Anoplostoma papaviviparum; JM站位鉴定出23属35种,其优势属为Metachromadora、Daptonema、Viscosia、Ptycholaimellus、Dorylaimopsis,优势种为Metachromadora sp.1、Viscosia sp.1、Dorylaimopsis sp.1、Daptonema baihaijiaoensis、Ptycholaimellus ocellatus; JL站位鉴定出18属30种,其优势属为Daptonema、Dorylaimopsis,优势种为Daptonema quattuor、Daptonema setihyalocella、Viscosia sp.1、Daptonema baihaijiaoensis、Ptycholaimellussp.1、Spilophorella candida。古宁头断面GH站位鉴定出21属35种,其优势属为Daptonema、Parasphaerolaimus、Ptycholaimellus、Viscosia、Ptycholaimellus,优势种为Daptonema aquattuor、Daptonema setihyalocella、Viscosia sp.1、Daptonema baihaijiaoensis、Ptycholaimellus sp.1、Spilophorella candida。从群落结构来言,4个采样站位仅Daptonema为共有优势属,其他无共有优势种。从摄食类型来看,除建功屿断面中潮位的海洋线虫群落以2A型为主以外,在其他3个采样站位均以1B型为优势,故本研究海洋线虫以非选择性沉积食性者为主。     

厦门湾瘦枝珊瑚属空间分布及新记录种

厦门湾是一个集河口、红树林、浅海湿地等多种典型生态系统的海湾,生物多样性高,曾报道有28种八放珊瑚栖息,但未见瘦枝珊瑚属(Carijoa)的相关报道。为了解厦门湾内瘦枝珊瑚属资源现状,本研究于2014—2021年期间在厦门湾内的大佰屿、小佰屿、白哈礁、角屿、上屿、黄厝、鼓浪屿、火烧屿、青屿以及浯屿附近海域通过潜水调查采集珊瑚样本,其中有25株是瘦枝珊瑚属样本。对样本进行形态学鉴定及基因片段[细胞色素C氧化酶亚单位Ⅰ(COⅠ)、NADH脱氢酶第二亚基(ND2)]定序技术研究。结果显示,采集的25株瘦枝珊瑚属样本全部都是Carijoa riisei,这是该种在厦门湾的首次记录。C. riisei分布在厦门湾的小佰屿、白哈礁、上屿、角屿、鼓浪屿和火烧屿附近海域,而大佰屿、黄厝、青屿和浯屿站位未见该物种分布。本研究结果既丰富了厦门湾的珊瑚物种记录,也增加了C. riisei的世界地理分布信息,可为全球Carijoa属珊瑚生物地理信息研究提供数据支撑。     

Three New Stoneflies (Insecta: Plecoptera) from the Yixian Formation of Liaoning, China

Three new genera and species Archaeoperla rarissimus gen. et sp. nov. （Perlidae）, Liaotaenionema tenuitibia gen. et sp. nov. （Taeniopterygidae） and Parvinemoura parvus gen. et sp. nov. （？Nemouridae） are described and illustrated. All of them were collected from Yixian Formation of the western Liaoning, China. Hitherto, A. rarissimus is the oldest species possessing typical characters of Perlidae; the finding of L. tenuitibia indicates taeniopterygids once lived in the northeastern China in the late Mesozoic, but frequent volcanic activities, climate changes, or other environmental changes might have resulted in the disappearance of Taeniopterygidae in northern China after Mesozoic. Ancestral groups of Nemouridae have been abundant from Middle Jurassic, and male genitalia of P. parvus gen. et sp. nov. has been developed and similar to extant Nemouridae in the late Mesozoic. The stonefly fossils found from Yixian Formation are not divers at the species level, but rich at the family level. The diversity of stonefly implies different microclimate existed in the northeastern China at that time. A large old lacustrine basin existed in the western Liaoning, surrounded by hygrophilous plants on swampland and lake shore, warm and humid; tall arbor and boscage on the hillside nearby, mild and dry; mountains in the distance, rivulets running among the mountains, cool and wet. Many insects, prefer cool climate （e.g. stonefly, raphidiopterans, et ai.）, lived in the mountains with rivulets.     

Late Mesozoic Chresmodids with Forewing from Inner Mongolia, China (Polyneoptera: Archaeorthoptera)

Abstract: Three new species of Chresmodidae are described. They belong to two different genera: Chresmoda multinervis sp. nov., Chresmoda shihi sp. nov. and Jurachresmoda sanyica sp. nov.. A study of the forewing venation is provided. Longitudinal veins are mostly parallel; costal area is broad at the basal and narrowing distally; ScP is probably extending close to the wing apex; R is parallel at length to ScP; MA is running close to R, with two long parallel branches; MA branched-off basally; while MP is not branched until the middle of the wing. However, the important basal part of MP and CuP is poorly preserved. In addition, unique fringing hairs on the mid legs of C. shihi sp. nov. and J. sanyica sp. nov. are described and compared with Jurachresmoda gaskelli Zhang, Ren and Shih, 2008.     

Eco-environmental impact assessment of pre-leisure beach nourishment on the benthic invertebrate community at Anping coast

In recent years,owing to global warming and the rising sea levels,beach nourishment and groin building have been increasingly employed to protect coastal land from shoreline erosion.These actions may degrade beach habitats and reduce biomass and invertebrate density at sites where they were employed.We conducted an eco-environmental evaluation at the Anping artificial beach-nourishment project area.At this site,sand piles within a semi-enclosed spur groin have been enforced by use of eco-engineering concepts since 2003.Four sampling sites were monitored during the study period from July 2002 to September 2008.The environmental impact assessment and biological investigations that we conducted are presented here.The results from this study indicate that both biotic(number of species,number of individual organisms,and Shannon-Wiener diversity) and abiotic parameters(suspended solids,biological oxygen demand,chemical oxygen demand,dissolved inorganic nitrogen,dissolved inorganic phosphorus,total phosphorus,total organic carbon,median diameter,and water content) showed significant differences before and after beach engineering construction.Biological conditions became worse in the beginning stages of the engineering but improved after the restoration work completion.This study reveals that the composition of benthic invertebrates changed over the study period,and two groups of organisms,Bivalvia and Gastropoda,seemed to be particularly suitable to this habitat after the semi-enclosed artificial structures completion.     

A New Mesopsychid (Mecoptera) from the Middle Jurassic of Northeastern China

The family Mesopsychidae Tillyard,1917 presently consists of ten described genera from the Early Permian to the Early Cretaceous of Australia,China,Kyrgyzstan,Russia,South Africa,Tajikistan,and Ukraine.Herein,a new genus and a new species of fossil mesopsychid,Epicharmesopsyche pentavenulosa gen.et sp.nov.,is described from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia,China,supplementing the family-level diversity.The well-preserved,new material reveals many characters,including antennae,wing venation,shape and genitalia that increase our morphological understanding of the family,although unfortunately the mouthparts and most of the legs are not preserved.Diagnosis of the Mesopsychidae is emended to include a four-or five-branched MP in both the fore-and hind wings.This is the first documentation of a wing coupling structure in the Mesopsychidae,consisting of three to four frenula bristles on the humeral lobe at the base of the costal margin of both hind wings.Asymmetrical shape and size of the left and right wings on a specimen of E.pentavenulosa gen.et sp.nov.,seems to be a common condition for mesopsychid taxa from northeastern China.     

Petrogenesis of Cenozoic Basaltic Rocks from Jiangsu Province,China:Evidence from Geochemical Constraints

Cenozoic（Miocene to Pleistocene） basaltic rocks in Jiangsu province of eastern China include olivine tholeiite and alkali basalt.We present major,trace element and Sr-Nd isotopic data as well as Ar-Ar dating of these basalts to discuss the petrogenesis of the basalts and identify the geological processes beneath the study area.On the basis of chemical compisitions and Ar-Ar dating of Cenonoic basaltic rocks from Jiangsu province,we suggest that these basalts may belong to the same magmatic system.The alkali basalts found in Jiangsu province have higherΣFeO,MgO,CaO,Na₂O, TiO₂ and P₂O₅ and incompatible elements,but lower Al₂O₃ and compatible elements contents than olivine tholeiite which may be caused by fractional crystallization of olivine,pyroxene and minor plagioclase.In Jiangsu basaltic rocks the incompatible elements increase with decreasing MgO/ΣFeO ratios.The primitive mantle-normalized incompatible elements and chondrite-normalized REE patterns of basaltic rocks found in Jiangsu province are similar to those of OIB.Partial loss of the mantle lithosphere accompanied by rising of asthenospheric mantle may accelerate the generation of the basaltic magma.The ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd vs.⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr plot indicates a mixing of a depleted asthenospheric mantle source and an EMI component in the study area.According to Shaw’s equation,the basalts from Jiangsu province may be formed by l%-5%partial melting of a depleted asthenospheric mantle source.On the basis of Ar-Ar ages of this study and the fractional crystallization model proposed by Brooks and Nielsen（1982）,we suggest that basalts from Jiangsu province may belong to a magmatic system with JF-2 as the primitive magma which has undergone fractional crystallization and evolved progressively to produce other types of basalts.     

A New Axymyiid Genus with Two New Species from the Middle Jurassic of China (Diptera: Nematocera: Axymyiidae)

The Axymyiidae is one of the small families of the suborder Nematocera within the Diptera.Up to date,three genera and seven species of extant axymyiids have been described from the Holarctic Region,including Canada,China,Hungary,Japan,Russia,and USA,with three genera and three species of fossil taxa described from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou,northeastern China.A new genus Raraxymyia gen.nov.and two new species,R.parallela and R.proxima gen.et sp.nov.from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou Village,Inner Mongolia,China,are herein described based on their well-preserved wings and body characters.A revised key to the genera of axymyiids is provided.     

New Fossils of Eoptychopteridae (Diptera) from the Middle Jurassic of Northeastern China

Three new species of the extinct genus of Eoptychopterina from the Eoptychopteridae     

A New Species of the Family Juraperlidae(Insecta:Grylloblattida)from the Middle Jurassic of China

<正>Juraperla grandis sp.nov.(Grylloblattida:Juraperlidae) is described from the Daohugou locality (Middle Jurassic,China).Its wing venation is very similar to that of Juraperla daohugouensis Huang and Nel,2007 (Grylloblattida:Juraperlidae),in the particular occurrence of a supplementary longitudinal vein in the area between the anterior wing margin and ScP.The larger size of the new specimen,the lower number of CuA1 branches,and the occurrence of two rows of cells between MP and CuA in forewings justify the erection of a new species,J.grandis sp.nov..The material also preserved hind wing and body structures,described for the first time in Juraperlidae.
