A review of the environmental history of Iceland, 13 000-9000 yr BP

A synthesis of the main environmental changes that are interpreted to have occurred in Iceland during the period 13-9 ka BP is presented. Most of the evidence available relates to variations in the position of ice margins, although some limited information on vegetation history and soil stability is also referred to. Only qualitative and limited climatic inferences can be made for this period because of the lack of detailed evidence. A summary curve of the relative extent of ice cover is presented.     

New stratigraphic markers in the late Pleistocene Palouse loess: novel fossil gastropods, absolute age constraints and non-aeolian facies

Four stratigraphic sections in the southern part of the Columbia Basin preserve a sequence of aeolian and non-aeolian sediments ranging in age from 9·43 to >47·0 ¹⁴C ka based on accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating of fossil molluscs, geochemistry of Cascade Mountain-sourced tephra and association with formally recognized pedostratigraphic units (the Washtucna and Old Maid Coulee soils). Study sections are interpreted as representing concurrent deposition of loess and distal Missoula Flood rhythmites in valleys tributary to main drainages backflooded during the Missoula Floods, and formation of carbonate and iron-rich soils. Sediments belong to the formally recognized L-1 and L-2 loess units established for the Palouse loess, which were deposited in the Columbia Basin subsequent to events of glacial outburst flooding. Sediments associated with the Mount Saint Helens set S and set C tephras in the study sections preserve a fauna of five species of gastropod mollusc which have not been reported previously from sediments of late Pleistocene age in the Palouse region. The fossils comprise two distinct faunules stratigraphically separated by the Mount Saint Helens So tephra. Accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating of the fossils collected above the tephra in two of the sections yielded ages of 12·48 ± 0·06 and 9·43 ± 0·05 ¹⁴C kyr. These ages suggest that independent determinations of the 13·35 ¹⁴C kyr age of the So tephra in other areas where Missoula Flood sediments are preserved are probably accurate, and help to refine the age of the latest events in the most recent sequence of catastrophic glacial outburst flooding.

几种海产双壳贝类血淋巴中抗菌物质的诱导及其活性测定

以贻贝（Mytilus edulis)，毛蚶（Scapharca subcrenata)，海湾扇贝（Argopecten irdians)和菲律宾蛤仔（Ruditapes philippinesis)为试验材料，分别用活的和灭活的大肠杆菌为诱导物进行诱导，采用3种革兰氏阳性细菌和3种革兰氏阴性细菌作为指示菌，对4种供试双壳贝类血淋巴进行抗菌活性测定，结果表明：（1）贻贝在诱导前其血淋巴对金黄色葡萄球菌和四联微球菌有抑菌活性，免疫诱导可使血淋巴对鳗弧菌出现抑菌作用；（2）毛蚶在诱导前其血淋巴中含有对金黄色葡萄球菌和鳗弧菌有抑菌活性的物质，诱导对这两种菌的抑菌活性有明显的提高，但未诱导出对另外4种供试细菌有活性的物质；（3）海湾扇贝在诱导前其血淋巴对所有供试细胞均无抑菌活性，但经诱导后产生对金黄色葡萄球菌，副溶血弧菌和鳗弧菌有抑菌活性的物质，且活菌诱导比灭活诱导效果好；（4）菲律宾蛤仔在诱导前其血淋巴仅对金黄色葡萄球菌和鳗弧菌表现出抑菌活性，经诱导后其血淋巴不仅对这两种菌的抑菌活性增强，而且还诱导出对副溶血弧菌有抑菌活性的物质。     

偏顶蛤（Modiolus modiolus）转录组组装及其与深海偏顶蛤（Bathymodiolus platifrons）比较转录组研究

双壳类适应性进化遗传基础尚未有大量研究。而生活在沿海潮间带和深海环境中的双壳贝类适应性进化的分子机制更鲜有报道。我们首次测序组装了潮间带生活的偏顶蛤Modiolus modiolus的转录组序列。同时与生活在深海热液冷泉喷口的偏顶蛤Bathymodiolus platifrons进行了比较转录组分析,阐明了这两个物种在不同环境中的适应性进化机制。M. modiolus和B. platifrons的转录组组装共产生182,476和156,261个转录本,N50值分别为1,769和1,545。同时注释到27,868和23,588个基因。GO富集分析表明这些基因有相似的富集模式。两物种进化分析鉴定到10,245个直系同源基因,其中26个基因受到强烈正选择（Ka/Ks＞1）,12个基因受到中度正选择（0.5M. modiolus的转录组组装拼接序列,同时通过比较转录组学分析阐明了其与近缘物种B. platifrons的适应性进化机制。这为两个物种后续研究提供了序列资源和研究基础。     

海水池塘施肥混养滤食性鱼贝的初步研究

实验于１９９５年７月１０日至９月１６日,在烟台市黄海水产集团公司第二养虾场进行。采用围隔生态系实验法,利用４个海水池塘陆基围隔（５ｍ×５ｍ）初步研究了台湾红罗非鱼（Ｏｒｅ－ｏｃｈｒｏｍｉｓｍｏｓｓａｍｂｉｃｕｓ×Ｏ．ｎｉｌｏｔｉｃｕｓ）与菲律宾蛤仔（Ｒｕｄｉｔａｐｅｓｐｈｉｌｉｐｐｉｎａｒｕｍ）施肥混养的效果。结果表明：菲律宾蛤仔的生产力为１．２４ｇ／ｍ２·ｄ,负荷力为３８３０．０ｋｇ／ｈｍ２;罗非鱼的生产力为１．８６ｇ·（ｍ２·ｄ）－１,负荷力为１５８０．８ｋｇ／ｈｍ２。鱼贝对施入氮、磷的利用率分别为１５．０６％和６．８０％,比单养罗非鱼要高;总生产力和总负荷力都明显高于单养罗非鱼。     

欧洲白垩纪非海相软体动物及其地层分布

本文综述了欧洲白垩纪非海相软体动物群,列出了主要产自英格兰南部、法国和西班牙早白垩世的16个不同沉积层的59个分类单元。淡水动物群以珠蚌类双壳类和田螺类腹足类为主,但在有些地点也存有肺螺类腹足类。这些化石类群与现代类型很相似,说明白垩纪淡水中的水草、氧气与营养环境良好。在欧特里沃期和巴列姆期,淡水与边缘海环境中的动物群组成都发生了显著的变化。欧洲的淡水生物群落早在巴列姆期就已存在,此时的有些类群,如著名的Mar garitifera(s.l.)valdensis在欧洲西部有着广泛的分布。英格兰南部的早白垩世韦尔登群被认为是欧洲最连续的非海相白垩纪地层,其上部的生物群可与西班牙的LasHoyas动物群和法国的Wassy动物群相对比。这3个动物群,以及法国侏罗(汝拉)和英格兰南部波倍克的侏罗纪-白垩纪的过渡生物群——Purbeck动物群,是了解欧洲白垩纪淡水动物群的关键动物群。     

南黄海夏季软体动物群落结构特征

通过对2011—2013年夏季南黄海大型底栖软体动物的群落结构进行分析,揭示其与黄海冷水团之间的关系。使用Shannon-Wiener指数(H')、Pielou指数(J')、Margalef指数(D)和ABC(Abundance Biomass Comparison)曲线法分析群落多样性和稳定性。使用PRIMER6.0对大型底栖软体动物群落进行Cluster和MDS相似性分析。通过单因素方差分析(ANOVA)检验各指数之间的差异性。结果表明,三个航次共获得大型底栖软体动物36种,日本梯形蛤(Portlandia japonica)与薄索足蛤(Thyasira tokunagai)在三年中均为优势种。大型底栖软体动物平均丰度分别为27.250±22.15、31.765±27.948和30.476±30.818 ind./m2;平均生物量分别为8.164±9.145、6.942±7.139和5.071±10.015 g/m2。研究结果显示3年来黄海冷水团内大型底栖软体动物的多样性高于冷水团外大型底栖软体动物多样性,丰度分布由北到南逐渐增加且冷水团内的丰度大于冷水团外的丰度。南黄海海域大型底栖软体生物群落结构稳定,与2006年相比没有较大的变化。     

The Würmian Late-glacial in Iowland Switzerland

A synthesis is provided of Late-glacial (14-9 ka BP) environmental changes in lowland Switzerland (the ‘Swiss Plateau’). The chronology of deglaciation and subsequent developments in vegetation cover in the area are summarised. The sequence of climatic variations experienced in the region during the Late-glacial is then described and a curve representing the main palaeotemperature variations is presented.     

Biogenic Accumulations of Uranium in Recent Seas

The objective of this study is to determine the geochemical role of molluscs in the distribution of uranium in the marine ecosystem. Biogeochemical studies are carried out on recent mollusc shells from the Caspian Sea, Sea of Japan, Sea of Marmara, Aegean Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea, and Indian Ocean, which differ from each other in terms of physical, chemical, geographic, and geochemical characteristics. In this study, nine Gastropoda and fifty-four Pelecypoda shells of different species are analyzed to document variations of uranium in seasonal layers, which were formed by the seasonal carbonate-organic phase of molluscs during their entire lives. Shell used in this study principally comprises three layers: upper (outer) prismatic, middle prismatic, and inner (mother-of-pearl) layers. In addition, when possible, the head, the middle, and the lower parts of the shells are used for analyses separately. Also, the biological accumulation rate values for each different mollusc species rel
