Molecular identification of bloom-forming species Phaeocystis globosa(Prymnesiophyta)and its dispersal based on rDNA ITS sequence analysis

Abstract-The colony-forming Phaeocystis species are causative agents of dense bloom occurrences incoastal waters worldwide. It is difficult to separate them because of the different morphologies associatedwith their colonial stages. In this study we applied molecular approaches to analyze the genetic variationof Phaeocystis globosa and Phaeocystis pouchetii from several geogrtaphic regions, and to assist in tracingthe dispersal of bloom-forming Phaeocystis species in coastal waters of China. The Sequences of the inter-nal transcribed sacers (ITS1 and ITS2) of rDNA and the 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene of Phaeocystisstrains were determined. Sequence comparison shows that P.globosa was the most divergent toP. pouchetii, exhibiting sequence divergence higher than 0.08. However, lower genetic divergences ex-isted between strains of P.globosa. The sequence comparison of the Phaeocystis rDNA ITS clearlyshows that the species isolated from the southeast coast of China is identified as P. globosa rather thanP. cf. po     

Using benthic macrofauna to assess environmental quality of four intertidal mudflats in Hong Kong and Shenzhen Coast

Abstract-Intertidal zone is a significant wetland between land and ocean. It plays an important rolein maintaining local ecological balance. Both Mai Po and Futian intertidal mudflats are located in Shen-zhen Bay and are important "refueling" point along the East Asian/Australian flyway of migratory birds.The environmental quality of Mai Po and Futian mudflats have aroused great concern due to rapid eco-nomic developments in Hong Kong and Shenzhen in recent decades. Microinfauna of Mai Po and Futianmudflats was investigated in December 2000 and the faunal data were used to assess their environmentalquality. Two other mudflats, namely Ma Wan Typhoon Shelter (a more disturbed area) and Luk Kengintertidal mudflat (a place with relatively less human disturbance), were also sampled for macroinfaunaand used as reference mudflats. Shannon-Weaver species diversity index (I_(sd)), biotic coefficient (C_b)and macrofaunal pollution index (I_(mp)) of the macrofauna community on four intertidal mudflats wereused to     

美国飓风暴潮预报

美国国家天气局已发展了一种飓风暴潮模式,即SLOSH模式,用其计算飓风暴潮,给定风暴资料,做为输入参数。这个数值模式把动力海岸线、由风暴引起的洪水漫滩、次网格特征具体化,如障碍物、障碍物之间的缺口、海水沿可变宽度河道的一维流动。SLOSH模式已被用于墨西哥湾沿岸美国的大部分地区和大西洋海岸常遭飓风袭击的区域。本文提供了模式使用的情况和对于飓风暴潮预报的某些局限性。SLOSH模式应用的一些特例取自1985年Elena飓风。 SLOSH模式除了用于实时风暴潮预报外,还广泛用于飓风防汛疏散计划。这个模式用几百个假想的飓风进行运算,是依据区域气候学来选择所计算的飓风,对每个预想的风暴,模式计算出淹水范围,把这些淹水类型结合起来,可帮助确定一个区域遭飓风袭击的程度。同时,模式计算的风,可帮助规划人员确定疏散时路线,是否由于大风而阻塞。联邦和地方政府机构把这些息信与人口研究和道路能力估计结合起来,制定出一种综合的疏散计划。这种计划的成果之一是“疏散时间”——当飓风来临时沿海地区为了安全疏散需要提前撤离的时间。     

粉红色红拟抱球虫在冲绳海槽区的发现及地层意义

近年来,我们在冲绳海槽区进行大量工作.本文就Z14-6孔(27°07′N127°27′E)首次发现粉红色红拟抱球虫,及稳定同位素测定,进行对比研究,证明了Thompson等1979年所提出的粉红色拟抱球虫在印度-太平洋海域灭绝时代在距今120000年左右的观点.

边缘盆地在大陆生长中的作用

目前,大多数地质学者仅重视边缘盆地的形成,却往往忽略了边缘盆地在其形成以后的演化.本文拟提出边缘盆地的总发展史,特别是其形成后的演化,并进而探讨边缘盆地在边缘海发育和大陆生长过程中的作用.在地质发展史上,地球表面的宏观地质(发展)演化过程可能有两大类,即海底扩张和大陆生长,对此二者海洋地质学者颇有兴致.关于大陆的生长有两种类型:一是由于不同板块碰撞所导致的大陆联合;二是边缘海的生成,致使大陆不断扩大.关于边缘盆地的形成乃是当代地学工作者所面临的最重要的问题之一,但其对于边缘盆地形成的知识是十分贫乏的.以下作者拟对边缘盆地的演化提出讨论.边缘盆地形成的机制已经提出的有四种模式:(一)Uyeda和Miyashiro(1974)认为日本海的张开是起因于扩张海脊的俯冲,同时Eguchi等(1979)认为安达曼海也是如此;(二)Karig(1971)提出与俯冲作用有关的热底辟造成地壳的扩张,借以解释大多数边缘盆地的形成.McManus与Tate(1978)认为从静态硅铝圈之下涌出的硅镁物质的边缘扩张造成边缘海,并认为该模式更适用于苏禄海、苏拉威西海和南中国海.Lawver和Hawkins(1978)提出岩浆可在某些构造部位呈离散状泄出,并在某些边缘盆地中形成
