Morphological restudy of the type species of Xibeiestheria (Spinicaudata) from the lower Aptian,northwestern China

The fossil clam shrimp genus Xibeiestheria Wang in Shen et al., 1982, a component of the well-known Early Cretaceous Yanjiestheria fauna, was originally described from the lower Aptian Jingchuan Formation of Yanchi County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of northwestern China. The morphological re-examination under an SEM of the holotype of the type species Xibeiestheria pora Wang in Shen et al., 1982 has revealed new taxonomic features not previously recognized. These include: (1) growth lines with serrated lower margins, having a row of small pores; (2) widely spaced radial lirae intercalated cross bars on growth bands in the dorsal part of the carapace; (3) fine reticulum occurring within coarse reticulation on growth bands in the middle part of the carapace; (4) puncta radially aligned along the widely spaced radial lirae on growth bands in the lower part of the carapace.

Bisexual populations of the brine shrimpArtemia in Sète-Villeroy and Villeneuve Saltworks (Languedoc,France)

So far,Artemia populations in solar saltponds of southern France have been considered as belonging to the Old World parthenogenetic strain. However, two populations sampled monthly in abandoned salinas of Sète-Villeroy and Villeneuve appear to be bisexual throughout their life-cycle. Their sex ratio regularly fluctuates near equilibrium, and mating, present throughout life, is very common in early winter. Morphological characteristics, particularly the male frontal knobs structure, are discussed in relation to the diploid bisexual Mediterranean strain,Artemia tunisiana, which is distributed around the Mediterranean basin. The existence of sexual populations is discussed in regard to variation in environmental conditions in abandoned salinas.     

养殖期中国对虾抗菌肽的表达

利用半定量RT-PCR方法,根据中国对虾(Fenneropenaeus chinensis)抗菌肽的cDNA序列,设计一对特异引物,首次对中国对虾养殖期(PL11期仔虾～稚虾)抗菌肽的表达进行了研究。结果在各时期样本所提取的总RNA中,均扩增出一条长度约为200bp的特异性条带,表明中国对虾养殖期不同阶段均有抗菌肽的表达,提示中国对虾抗菌肽基因为组成型表达,并可能是中国对虾抵抗微生物感染的一个重要分子基础。     

Zircon U-Pb SHRIMP dating of the monzonite granite-porphyry from the bangpu large porphyry molybdenum-copper deposits,tibet, and its geological significance北大核心

The zircon U-Pb SHRIMP technique was applied to measure the age of the monzonite granite-porphyry from the Bangpu porphy deposits in the eastern Gangdese porphyry belt. It was obtained that the 206Pb/238 U mean age is 13. 9 ±0. 3 Ma (MSWD = 3. 05), which belongs to the late period of Himalaya. The Bangpu monzonite granite-porphyry was formed during the period of ore-bearing porphyries forming in the Gangdese metallogenic belt to the extension environment of post-collision (12-18 Ma). Our new data suggest that the Bangpu monzonite granite-porphyry shared similar metallogenic dynamics settings to the Gangdese copper belt, which belongs to a rapid outbreak of large-scale mineralization process. Our new result is very important in confirming the active time of the Gangdese magma, provides chronological data and new inspiration for evolution studies of the whole Gangdese metallogenic belt.     

Regional variations in trace element concentrations in tissues of black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon (Decapoda: Penaeidae) from South Vietnam

The goal of the present study was to examine the specific bioaccumulation of 22 trace elements in muscle, exoskeleton and hepatopancreas of black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon from the Mekong River Delta (MRD), and the South Key Economic Zone (SKEZ), South Vietnam. The general tendency in most trace element concentrations among different tissues were hepatopancreas > exoskeleton > muscle. Comparisons of trace element levels in tissues between the two regions showed that concentrations of Se in muscle and As in all three tissues were higher in SKEZ; whereas in MRD, the higher concentrations of most elements such as Mn, Cu, Cd, Ba, Hg, were observed in tissues. These geographical variations in trace element levels may reflect the differences in human activities between the two regions of South Vietnam. The target hazard quotient (THQ) values for trace elements (<1) indicate that local residents are not exposed to potential health risks via the consumption of shrimp.     

六种海产虾类基因组DNA多态性的RAPD标记研究

于１９９６年１０月在青岛胶州湾附近海域采集中国对虾,细巧仿对虾,周氏新对虾,鹰爪虾,脊尾白虾和脊腹褐虾等６种不同科或不同属的海产虾类,用ＲＡＰＤ技术对其基因组ＤＮＡ的多态性进行了研究。在事先优化的反应条件下,经２０个随机引物扩增,共得到２８２条多态性片段,片段长度在２３０￣２８００ｂｐ之间,根据扩增片段的共享度计算出相对遗传距离指数,然后用ＵＰＧＭＡ和ＮＪ程序进行聚类分析,结果所显示的６种虾的亲缘
