Diversity of faunal assemblages associated with ribbed mussel beds along the South American coast: relative roles of biogeography and bioengineering

Benthic organisms are among the most diverse and abundant in the marine realm, and some species are a key factor in studies related to bioengineering. However, their importance has not been well noted in biogeographic studies. Macrofaunal assemblages associated with subtidal beds of the ribbed mussel (Aulacomya atra) along South America were studied to assess the relationship between their diversity patterns and the proposed biogeographic provinces in the Southeastern Pacific and Southwestern Atlantic Oceans. Samples from ribbed mussel beds were obtained from 10 sites distributed from the Peruvian coast (17°S) to the Argentinean coast (41°S). The sampling included eight beds in the Pacific and two in the Atlantic and the collections were carried out using five 0.04 m² quadrants per site. Faunal assemblages were assessed through classification analyses using binary and log‐transformed abundance data. Variation in the size and density of mussels, and in the species richness, abundance and structure of their faunal assemblages were tested using a permutational multivariate analysis of variance. Faunal assemblages showed a north–south latitudinal gradient along both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Binary and abundance data showed a difference in the resulting clustering arrangement of Pacific sites between 40°S and 44°S, indicating a pattern of continuity in the species distribution associated with biological substrates. At a regional scale, the distribution of species along the South American coast matched the general provincial pattern shown by prior studies, which show two biogeographic units on the Pacific coast separated by an intermediate (probably transitional) zone and a single province on the Atlantic coast extending up to Northern Argentina. Biological substrates such as ribbed mussel beds play an important ecological role by making a similar habitat type available on a large scale for a variety of invertebrate species. Despite such habitat homogeneity, however, the associated fauna exhibit marked distribution breaks, suggesting strong constraints on dispersal. This therefore suggests that macrofaunal assemblages could possibly be used as biogeographic indicators.     

碘化银冷云催化的数值模拟研究

利用加入碘化银冷云催化模块的中尺度数值模式WRF对2014年5月9一11日发生在华北地区的一次降雨天气过程进行了增雨催化数值模拟研究。模式的催化参数根据实际增雨作业信息进行设置,探讨了增雨的效果和机理,并针对催化高度和催化剂量进行了两组敏感性试验。结果表明:在高度5~6 km,温度一20~一15℃左右的冷云区位置引入碘化银冷云催化剂可使地面降水量显著增加。地面增雨开始于作业后30 min左右,70 min左右达到最大,90 min后出现减雨,110 min后减雨效果大于增雨。增雨机制主要为:碘化银的播撤使融化层之上云中的过冷水含量显著减少,冰雪晶的含量增加,雨滴碰并雪的过程和雨滴捕获云滴的过程增强;增加的雪晶下落到暖区融化成雨滴的过程增多,最终造成地面降雨量的显著增加。从微物理过程的量级来看,雪晶粒子的融化是导致降水增加的最主要过程。不同催化高度和催化剂量的敏感性试验结果表明,针对这次过程在过冷云水丰富,温度较低而冰雪晶含量相对较少的高度进行催化效果较好。继续加大催化剂量,可以起到更好的增雨效果。

Geodynamically indicated targeting strategy for shale‐hosted massive sulfide Pb–Zn–Ag mineralisation in the Western Fold Belt,Mt Isa terrane

There is ongoing debate with respect to the genetic models for shale‐hosted massive sulfide Pb–Zn–Ag deposits contained in the Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic intracontinental Isa Superbasin in the Western Fold Belt, Mt Isa terrane. Favourable sites of mineralisation can be predicted based on understanding the tectonic setting of the Isa Superbasin, the structural controls of mineralisation and the chemically favourable environments for ore deposition. Shale‐hosted massive sulfide Pb–Zn–Ag deposits are hosted in successions deposited during the dominant sag‐phase of the Isa Superbasin. These deposits are localised at the intersections of major basin‐scale extensional faults and are hosted in both shallow‐marine and deeper water carbonaceous shales that are characteristically anoxic and located near or at maximum flooding surfaces. All major shale‐hosted massive sulfide Pb–Zn–Ag deposits are located to the west of the Mt Isa Rift (ca 1710–1670 Ma). This spatial association is explained by an asymmetrical lithosphere extension model for the evolution of the Isa Superbasin. Elevated geothermal gradients at the location of maximum subcrustal lithospheric thinning to the west of the Mt Isa Rift may have driven the migration of basinal brines. Increased subsidence at this location produced favourable anoxic sedimentary horizons for metal precipitation during orebody formation.     

美人鱼发光杆菌(Photobacterium damselae)感染对银鲳(Pampus argenteus)肠道微生物的影响

银鲳(Pampus argenteus)是我国沿海重要的经济鱼类和水产养殖重要品种, 近年来因过度捕捞其野生种群数量日渐减少。美人鱼发光杆菌(Photobacterium damselae, PDD)是多种水产动物发病的主要病原菌, 也是银鲳养殖中的一种常见病原微生物, 会引起造成银鲳大规模死亡的出血病,但目前尚不清楚美人鱼发光杆菌感染后对银鲳肠道微生物的影响。通过注射使银鲳感染PDD, 在24 h和72 h分别采集健康及患病银鲳的中肠和后肠进行16S rRNA基因扩增子测序, 并结合Illumina Nova测序平台进行测序和数据分析, 研究PDD感染后不同时间银鲳体内微生物群落组成结构的动态变化。结果表明, PDD感染后在银鲳肠道内大量增殖并占据优势, 引起银鲳体内肠道微生物的动态变化。PDD的侵入及在银鲳肠道中的增殖并占据优势, 导致银鲳肠道内微生物群落组成结构紊乱。PDD的过度生长与肠道微生物群落构成失调密切相关, 显示了肠道微生物群落结构平衡的重要性。研究结果有助于深入探究水产动物肠道微生物的多样性、功能及相互关系, 为银鲳养殖业的健康管理提供科学依据。     

Classification,metallogenesis and exploration of silver deposits in Daxing’anling of Inner Mongolia and its adjacent areas

By the end of 2020, 83 silver deposits (or ore occurrences), including four super-large-scale deposits, nine large-scale deposits, 33 medium-scale deposits and 37 small-scale deposits or ore occurrences, have been proved. The amount of silver metal exceeds 86000 t with average grade of 100 g/t, which makes Daxing’ anling region one of the the most important silver ore belt in China. However, the metallogenic characteristics and metallogenesis need to be clarified. The silver deposits in the study area are classified into three main types, which are magmatic hydrothermal vein type, continental volcano-subvolcanic type and skarn type, respectively. The supergiant deposits include the Shuangjianzishan deposit (silver metal amount of 15214 t with average grade of 138 g/t), the Baiyinchagandongshan deposit (silver metal amount of 9446 t with average grade of 187 g/t), the Huaobaote deposit (silver metal amount of 6852 t with average grade of 170 g/t), and the Fuxingtun deposit (silver metal amount of 5240 t with average grade of 196 g/t). The silver deposits are mainly distributed in the central and south of the Daxing’anling area, and mainly formed in the Yanshanian period. The silver polymetallic deposits in the Daxinganling area are significantly controlled by regional faults and the junction zone of volcanic rock basins and their margins. The north-east trending deep faults are the most important ore-controlling structures in this area. The distribution of silver polymetallic deposits along the main faults is obvious, and the intersection area of multiple groups of faults often form important mine catchments. The Permian is the most important ore-bearing formation in this area, but some important silver polymetallic deposits occur in Mesozoic volcanic basins or pre-Mesozoic strata. The magmatic rocks related to mineralization are mainly intermediate acidic or acidic intrusions, intermediate acidic lavas, pyroclastic rocks, and small intrusions of ultra-shallow or shallow facies of the Yanshanian Period. The mineralization element combination is mainly determined by the elemental geochemical background of surrounding rocks or source layers. In addition, the type of deposit, the distance from the mineralization center, and the degree of differentiation of ore-forming rock mass are also important influence factors. The article analyzes the prospecting prospects of each silver deposit type in the study area, discusses the relationship between mineralization center and deep prospecting, and proposes that porphyry silver deposits should be paid attention to. In the prospecting and exploration of silver deposits, comprehensive evaluation and multi-target prospecting need to be strengthened because silver can coexist or be associated with a variety of metals.©2022 China Geology Editorial Office.
