Final report of IGCP Project 410 （1997-2002）——The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, North Ryde, NSW 2109, Australia. E-mail： bwebby@laurel.ocs.mq.edu.au

In 1997, IGCP Project No. 410 was established to appraise known records of Ordovician biotas, in order to evaluate one of the greatest-ever diversifications of life on Earth, between 489 and 443 million years ago. Data collection and analysis of biodiversity were coordinated through seven regional teams, and a global“clade” team.     

梦想晚白垩纪公园

晚白垩纪是地质学的一个新名词,距今大约五千万至七千万年. 轻轻的,我像往常一样走进这片熟悉的土地.如果没有人告诉我,脚下这块偌大的冲击盆地在白垩纪早期竟是一个碧波荡漾的湖泊,很难想象它有多么的古老.     

台湾地层检讨(续)

所谓‘大寮层’者,以页岩与砂岩之交互层为主,厚约350公尺,在其上部,砂岩发育较佳,而在山下部则反是。砂岩往住带石灰质并含有化石,尤其在上部有富含Ditrupa sp之灰质的砂岩发现,所谓Ditrupa化石带是也。此外尚有下列之化石发现:     

浅析宁波盆地膏盐地层的时代──兼对“宁波盆地北部的长河群”之时代质疑

宁波盆地地下揭示的一套包含暗色膏硝质泥岩、泥质白云岩在内的紫红、灰紫色泥岩、棕褐色砂砾岩、细砂岩和玻屑凝灰岩的地层，均称方岩组，内含膏盐并具油色显示。对其时代有早、晚白垩世和早第三纪之认识，笔者从70～90年代地质工作中所获化石分析认为，虽然宁波盆地这一层位含化石不丰，但从分布及数量上比较，相对占优势的应该是孢粉和植物化石，其时代意见也较为一致，指示为早白垩世。     

ENERGY FLOW OF BELIAMYA AERUGINOSA IN A SHALLOW ALGAL LAKE, HOUHU LAKE （WUHAN, CHINA）

The energy budget ofBellamya earuginosa in a shallow algal lake, Houhu Lake (Wuhan, China) was investigated by the measurement of flesh production (32.8 kJ/(m²·a)), egestion (337.7 kJ/(m²·a)), metabolism (246.7 kJ/(m²·a)), and estimation of excretion (21.4kJ/(m²·a)). The net growth efficiency of the species is about 10.9%, which accords with the generally reported value for gastropods. In addition, the relationships between starvation respiration (R, mgO₂/(Ind·d)), body weight (Wd, mg in dry wt) and temperature (T, °C) were also determined. The regression equationR=0.044Wd ^0.537 e ^0.061T was obtained by the least square method, The measured SDA of the species is 26.51% of its gross metabolism. Project No. 3960019 and 39430101 supported by NSFC and also a granted for the East Lake Ecological Experimental Station, CAS, Wuhan.     

福建海岛潮间带软体动物群落分布特征

福建海岛潮间带软体动物共鉴定248种，隶属于5纲78科161属，应用群落系数，等级聚类分析和极坐标排序研究软体动物落分布，结果表明，软体动物群落可分为3种类型，即河口型群落，近岸港湾群落和开阔海域群落，群落分布与海岛所处地理位置及其生境类型密切相关，盐度和水动力是重要的影响因子。     

条斑紫菜壳孢子超微结构研究

应用戊二醛、锇酸固定,环氧树脂包埋,醋酸双氧铀-柠檬酸铅制作切片,以透射电镜观察条斑紫菜(Porphyra yezoensis)壳孢子的超微结构,结果表明:壳孢子外包被一层薄的细胞壁,中央为一个由同心片层结构的类囊体膜构成的轴生星状色素体,色素体中有一个无淀粉鞘包被的蛋白核,类囊体膜上附有嗜锇性的质体小球.壳孢子细胞核位于色素体的一侧,呈不规则的长圆形,核仁偏于核的一侧.在胞质中分布有线粒体、红藻淀粉、液泡等细胞器.与放散前的成熟壳孢子囊枝细胞超微结构比较,成熟壳孢子超微结构的变化主要有细胞壁变薄,色素体结构松散甚至退化,蛋白核分裂,液泡数量增多而红藻淀粉数量减少等,这些变化反映了成熟壳孢子基本细胞特征,同时反映了在壳孢子生长发育过程中温度下降、光照时间缩短和光照强度减弱等环境因素的变化.
