三峡库区短颌鲚(Coilia brachygnathus)新建种群的年龄结构、生长特征及遗传多样性分析

2019~2020年在三峡库区巫山(WS)、万州(WZ)、丰都(FD)、涪陵(FL)4个采样点采集到新建短颌鲚(Coilia brachygnathus)种群153尾个体,基于鳞片和10个微卫星DNA标记进行年龄结构、生长特征与遗传多样性分析。结果显示,短颌鲚种群体长分布范围为102.1~301.6mm,平均体长(196.6±40.0)mm;体重分布范围为1.90~79.70g,平均体重(17.70±13.06)g。短颌鲚种群年龄组为1~5龄,其中2龄和3龄为优势年龄组,占总个体数的82.35%。体长-体重呈幂函数指数关系,属于正异速生长类型。微卫星DNA标记分析结果显示,10个微卫星位点共检测到82个等位基因,各群体平均等位基因数(N_a)为5.600 0~7.300 0,平均有效等位基因数(N_e)为3.541 4~3.831 5,平均观测杂合度(H_o)为0.617 7~0.700 0,平均期望杂合度(H_e)为0.682 3~0.702 9之间,平均多态信息含量(PIC)为0.628 5~0.648 4。4个群体的遗传多样性水平均较高,呈现出由三峡库区下游至上游逐渐减小的特点。遗传结构分析结果显示,群体间遗传分化水平很低,遗传变异主要来源于个体内部。结果表明,三峡库区短颌鲚种群处于快速扩张阶段,4个群体均具有较丰富的遗传多样性,遗传结构未发生显著群体分化,群体间基因交流频繁。由此提示,三峡库区短颌鲚很可能来源于三峡大坝下种群扩张迁入三峡库区水域而繁殖建群。     

青岛近岸海域浮游动物群落结构特征

以2020年8—9月在青岛近岸海域进行的浮游动物调查数据为基础,分析了该海域浮游动物的群落结构特征。调查海域共发现浮游动物成体29种,浮游幼虫14类,其中浅水Ⅰ型网调查发现成体27种,浮游幼虫14类,浅水Ⅱ型网发现成体24种,浮游幼虫12类;浅水Ⅰ型网和浅水Ⅱ型网调查浮游动物平均丰度分别为128.4 ind./m³、1 010.9 ind./m³;平均生物量(湿质量)为37.7 mg/m³、101.3 mg/m³;平均多样性指数为2.18、2.11;平均丰富度指数为0.95、1.77;平均均匀度指数为0.54、0.70;浅水Ⅰ型网采集的浮游动物种类数量略多于浅水Ⅱ型网,但浅水Ⅱ型网得出的丰度和生物量远大于浅水Ⅰ型网。在群落多样性评价指数方面,两种网具调查结果有一定的差异。     

系统发育多样性和系统发育结构在岛屿植物群落保护中的意义：以福建沿海19个岛屿为例

为了探讨福建沿海岛屿植物多样性的形成与维持机制,本研究在福建近岸有居民岛屿前期调查资料的基础上,补充部分无居民岛屿植物多样性及环境和人口密度调查数据,从物种多样性和系统发育多样性两方面比较了19个岛屿植物多样性及其影响因素。结果表明,岛屿面积是影响植物物种丰富度(species richness, SR)和Faith系统发育多样性(phylogenetic diversity, PD)最重要的因素,纬度和年均降水量也有一定影响。19个岛屿系统发育结构倾向于聚集,植物群落的构建可能主要受到环境因素和人类活动干扰影响。地理距离对岛屿间植物群落系统发育β多样性的变化影响不显著。建议对PD较高的东山岛、粗芦岛、南日岛、湄洲岛、厦门岛、平潭岛、三都岛进行重点保护,并结合实际情况针对各岛屿功能定位制定保护和开发利用方案。本研究可以为多层次的多样性评价指标应用于岛屿植物多样性评估以及群落构建机制分析提供参考,也可以为岛屿生物多样性保护策略的制定提供理论依据。     

ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT'S IMAGE AND INFLUENCE IN NORTH AMERICAN GEOGRAPHY, 1804–2004

ABSTRACT. Alexander von Humboldt is universally identified as a key figure in laying the foundations for modern geography. His main sites of research and scholarly production were centered on Europe, Latin America, and Russia. He drew on global sources of geographical data and knowledge in constructing and producing his voluminous works. Although he only briefly knew North America firsthand—at the outset of his career, in the late spring of 1804—he maintained a lifelong interest in the realm, especially in the United States. In turn, many North American scholars were admirers and followers of his perspectives, practices, and publications. Although geography did not emerge as an institutionally based discipline in the United States until the late nineteenth century, Humboldt's influence and impact on its antecedents were considerable. Contrary to conventional wisdom, his authority and influence in geography persisted well beyond Humboldt's death in 1859. His vision of demonstrating nature's unity in diversity and his enlightened views on social issues have continued to appeal to select sectors and actors in North American geography, especially Latin Americanists, historians of the discipline, and, more recently, proponents of an engaged, critical geography.     

Invasion and spreading of Cabomba caroliniana revealed by RAPD markers

Applying randomly amplified polymorphic DNA （RAPD）, the genetic variation of Cabomba caroliniana Gray （cabomba or fanwort）, a new alien plant in China, was analyzed in this paper. Total 143 bands, including 47 polymorphic bands, were amplified from 23 primers in 20 samples. The sampling distance was large, but its genetic diversity was low. The main results were that： （1） Cabomba, which grew and dispersed mainly in fragment, was an abundant and dominant species in freshwater, and its main dispersal mechanism was vegetative reproduction. （2） Cabomba was originally introduced into China as an aquarium submerged plant. Somehow, those discarded cabomba became invasive species in the areas of Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Meicheng, and other places. （3） Although the level of genetic diversity in cabomba was low, their rapid dispersion and propagation could seriously harm to local aquatic community. Therefore, specific measure should be used to control cabomba from uncontrolled spreading and damage to local vegetation communities.     

中国西部地区遥感数据生态多样性多尺度模拟

生态多样性(ecological diversity)是诸如物种和景观元等研究对象丰富性和空间分布均一性的综合,其多尺度测算与模拟已经成为生态学界研究的热点之一。其与传统多样性模型相比,Scaling生态多样性模型能够综合反映均一性和丰富性两个方面的多样性信息,同时考虑了空间尺度因素的作用,是一个理论上完美的生态多样性模型。利用Scaling生态多样性模型对中国西部地区三期遥感数据进行模拟,结果表明:①20世纪80年代末期-90年代末期,中国西部地区景观元多样性先减少后增加,其内部明显具有东高西低的空间分布规律;②省级行政区尺度上模拟结果说明陕西省景观元多样性最高,新疆维吾尔族自治区和西藏自治区最低;西藏自治区景观元多样性变化最显著,而甘肃省和重庆市变化最小;③县级行政区尺度上模拟结果发现中国西部地区存在11个景观元多样性的关键地区;④对比各尺度模拟结果,发现中国西部地区整体景观元多样性大于各省级行政区,各省级行政区大于省内县级行政区,说明Scaling多样性模型能够反映空间尺度因素与生态多样性间存在的正向相关关系。     

甘肃永昌乌拉尔世Sphenopteris(楔羊齿)新记录: 兼论晚古生代Sphenopteris多样性及古地理演化*

Sphenopteris(楔羊齿属)叶化石在全球晚古生代地层中广泛出现,但该属的系统分类位置及演化特征仍有待深入探讨,而且只有极少数种的表皮及气孔微细构造得到揭示。笔者在甘肃永昌乌拉尔统山西组中发现了2种形态保存较好且具有角质层的楔羊齿,分别是 Sphenopteris yongchangensis sp. nov.(永昌楔羊齿—新种)和Sphenopteris nystroemii (弱楔羊齿)。前者小羽片呈扇形,基部连合,侧脉分叉1次,气孔作椭圆状且为两面生; 后者小羽片呈梭形且顶端钝圆,侧脉分叉1次并达缘,气孔分布于脉间区。经对比,文中报道的2种楔羊齿可能属皱羊齿目(Lyginopteridales)。此外,统计了Sphenopteris在晚古生代的269个化石记录,结合该属的形态学、解剖学特征和分布记录,探讨了其多样性演化和古地理分布,结果表明: 宾夕法尼亚亚纪至乌拉尔世,Sphenopteris广泛分布于全球中低纬度地区,呈现出高度变异和分化; 自晚泥盆世至二叠纪,Sphenopteris型叶化石在中国自华南向华北迁移演化,说明其多样性特征不仅与湿润气候密切相关,而且与其古地理分布相耦合。     

Coupling near-surface geomorphology with mangrove community diversity at the estuarine scale: A case study at Dongzhaigang Bay,China

Coastal wetlands are key features of the Earth's surface and are characterized by a diverse array of coupled geomorphological and biological processes. However, the links between the distribution of biodiversity (for example, species and structural diversity) and the formation of coastal geomorphology are not well-understood on a landscape scale most useful to coastal zone managers. This study describes the relationship between select geomorphological and biological mangrove community features (i.e. species composition and functional root type) in a landscape-distributed coastal zone of Dongzhaigang Bay, north-eastern Hainan Island, China. A total of 11 mangrove species and five functional aerial root types were encountered, with the location of species by root types being controlled by the elevation of the soil surface. Plank roots, prop roots and pneumatophores occupied the lowest intertidal elevations, while knee roots and fibrous roots of the mangrove fern, Acrostichum aureum, preferred the highest intertidal elevations. Surface sediment deposition in areas with mangroves was greater than deposition in non-mangrove forest zones, establishing an important biological mechanism for this large-area response because surface erosion/compaction was also more prominent within mangrove roots. Indeed, functional root type influenced the magnitude of deposition, erosion and compaction, with knee roots and pneumatophores being more effective in promoting deposition and preventing surface erosion/compaction than prop roots. These results indicate a potential role for vegetation type (especially functional root type) to influence coastal geomorphological processes at large landscape scales. While soil surface elevation is correlated to the distribution of mangrove species and functional root types, a significant feedback exists between elevation change and the capacity of those root types to influence coastal geomorphological differentiation within sustainable intertidal elevations. An enhanced understanding of geomorphological development, mangrove species distribution and functional root type may improve management to support nature-based solutions that adjust more effectively to sea-level rise through feedbacks.     

Influence of precipitation on bacterial structure in a typical karst spring,SW China

Micro-organisms are major components in the environment, which play a key role in groundwater environment. This study aims to investigate the bacterial diversity over time in a typical karst spring named S31 and its response to hydrogeochemical parameters. Quantitative PCR and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was adopted to detect changes of the bacterial community structure. For the correlations between hydrogeochemical parameters and predominant phyla, redundancy analysis were adopted. According to the results, hydrochemical characteristics were controlled by carbonate equilibrium system and dynamic groundwater transformation which was influenced distinctly by precipitation. In addition, the redundancy analysis indicates that HCO_3~-, Ca~(2+), Eh, temperature and cumulative precipitation are the most important hydrogeochemical and environmental parameters to determine the bacterial community structures. That is to say, temperature can influence bacterial abundance by controlling dissolved oxygen content. Precipitation is another important factor which determines the community composition and bacterial structure directly or indirectly. Moreover, acidobacteria, proteobacteria, and bacteroidetes play key roles in response to the environmental factors in the groundwater of karst zones.     

北苏鲁超高压变质带内多成因类型的变花岗质岩石及其地质意义

变花岗质岩石是北苏鲁超高压变质带出露最广泛的岩石类型。本文通过锆石年代学和全岩地球化学的系统研究,查明该区变花岗质岩石具有成因类型多样性的特点,揭示其构造归属的复杂性,这对于解释扬子板块与华北板块之间的俯冲-碰撞-折返动力学过程具有重要科学意义。锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,区内的变花岗质岩石由新元古代(820～750Ma)花岗质片麻岩和新太古代-古元古代(2700～1870Ma)TTG-花岗质片麻岩共同组成,且二者经历了完全不同的构造演化历史。其中,新元古代花岗质片麻岩经历了晚三叠世(222～213Ma)的变质-深熔事件,而新太古代-古元古代的TTG-花岗质片麻岩则记录了晚古元古代(～1864Ma)的变质事件。全岩地球化学结果表明,新元古代花岗质片麻岩的原岩成分趋近于A型花岗岩,属于过铝质-准铝质的高钾钙碱性系列,主量元素(AlT_2O_3、MgO、FeO、TiO_2、CaO、P_2O_5)与SiO_2显示负相关性,具有轻、重稀土分异和负Eu异常特征,表明其源区有斜长石的残留。富集大离子亲石元素和强烈亏损高场强元素的特点,进一步表明它们可能是中-上地壳物质部分熔融的产物。新太古代-古元古代TTG-花岗质片麻岩的原岩成分主要落入TTG和IS型花岗岩区域,属于低钾-钙碱性系列,主量元素与SiO_2相关性不明显,多数样品的稀土总量比新元古代花岗质片麻岩略低,轻、重稀土分异相对较弱,具有正Eu或无Eu异常,表明其源区无斜长石而可能有角闪石的残留。它们的地球化学属性与新元古代花岗质片麻岩的成因特点存在显著差异。古元古代花岗质片麻岩的原岩可能为与造山有关的I型花岗岩,来自于太古宙基底岩石的重熔与再造。上述综合研究结果显示,北苏鲁超高压变质带内新元古代花岗质片麻岩的原岩具有亲扬子板块的属性,与扬子板块北缘罗迪尼亚超大陆裂解存在密切成因关系。而新太古代-古元古代TTG-花岗质片麻岩与华北板块变质基底、胶-辽-吉古元古构造带具有明显亲缘性。由此可见,在传统北苏鲁超高压变质带内的威海-乳山一带,由具有扬子板块属性和具有华北板块属性的变质基底,沿北东-南西方向共同组成了一条北苏鲁混杂岩带。这一新的研究成果充分表明,华北板块东南缘的新太古代-古元古代的陆壳物质普遍卷入到三叠纪时期扬子板块与华北板块之间的相向(双向)俯冲-折返造山过程中。
