Moss-inhabiting flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini) with description of a new genus from Cangshan,China

The world diversity of moss cushion-inhabiting and moss-feeding flea beetles is documented and discussed. A new genus (Cangshanaltica) with a single new species (Cangshanaltica nigra sp. nov.) from Yunnan Province in China is described and illustrated. It is similar to Benedictus Scherer, Ivalia Jacoby, Minota Weise, Paraminota Scherer, and Phaelota Jacoby. An identification key for all flea beetle genera known to occur in mosses in the eastern hemisphere is provided. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6341724E-BA3F-4979-B226-108D0CA64B92     

Japanese white-eyes (Aves: Zosteropidae) as potential pollinators of summer-flowering Taxillus kaempferi (Loranthaceae)

The pollination of summer-flowering plants by birds has rarely been reported in temperate Asia and Europe. However, we recorded the Japanese white-eye Zosterops japonicus (Passeriformes: Zosteropidae) visiting the flowers of the hemiparasitic plant Taxillus kaempferi (Loranthaceae) during mid-summer (July to August) in a temperate forest in central Japan. Field observations showed that Z. japonicus was an almost exclusive flower visitor of T. kaempferi. Specifically, Z. japonicus inserted their bills frequently into the flower tubes of T. kaempferi. The corollas of T. kaempferi were shorter than Z. japonicus bills, suggesting that Z. japonicus is able to obtain floral nectar from T. kaempferi. Close-up pictures of Z. japonicus visiting flowers showed that the upper bill and facial feathers of Z. japonicus came into contact with the reproductive organs of T. kaempferi, leading to the attachment of pollen to these body parts. Thus, Z. japonicus might act as an important pollinator of the summer-flowering plant T. kaempferi.?     

美国重返亚洲战略下的中国对外政策调整

当前,全球经济复苏问题凸显,亚洲作为世界经济新的引擎,出现整体性复兴的迹象。在新的国际局势下,积极寻找经济复苏途径、重塑美国领导形象的奥巴马政府与以和平发展为目标的复兴中的最大发展中国家中国的关系,就不仅仅是中美的双边关系,或是亚太区域的国家关系,而是涉及到全球政治战略、经济秩序、安全生态的大国关系。奥巴马上任不久,就提出美国会提高对亚太区域的关注,随后,美国重返亚洲成为国际社会热议的话题。     

A revision of the Asian and European species in the subgenus Amiota Loew (Diptera,Drosophilidae) and the establishment of species-groups based on phylogenetic analysis

A total of 53 Amiota (s. str.) species (75% of the world total) from Asia and Europe, including 10 new species, kamui, kimurai and planata from Japan, and aristata, cuii, macai, magniflava, nuerhachii, spinata and watabei from China, are reviewed with designation of two new synonymies and phylogenetic analysis. Based upon the result of cladistic analysis with 31 adult male morphological characters, the following conclusions are deduced: (1) The subgenus Amiota is monophyletic, so far as the Asian and European forms are concerned. (2) Seven monophyletic groups are recognized within this subgenus. Two of them correspond to known species-groups, the apodemata and sinuata groups, and the remaining five are established as new species-groups, the nagatai, basdeni, taurusata, alboguttata and rufescens groups. A key to all the studied species from Asia and Europe is provided.     

亚洲夏季风区大气能量谱分析

用1979年FGGE—Ⅲb资料,对亚洲及其邻域的总能量、大气显热源和水汽汇进行谱分析.结果表明:准40天振荡是亚洲夏季风区的主要特征振荡.振荡方差贡献的分布以及振荡源中心位置反映出在印度、孟加拉湾、南海和东亚大陆上空夏季风系统具有一定的独立性。长江以北地区主要受中纬度系统影响,华南沿海和云贵地区则分别受南海和孟加拉湾地区夏季风系统的影响.振荡从主要振荡源向外传播,东亚季风区振荡主要从东南向西北传播.总能量和水汽汇振荡的传播还表明,从南半球有明显的向北传播通道.这些通道与越赤道气流通道大致相对应.大气显热源的振荡则无此特征,但它对大气环流准定常状态的维持有一定的影响,孟加拉湾湾头和南海既是热源中心,亦为准双周振荡的源区.     

“9·11”后美国中亚政策的调整及其影响

"9·11"后美国鉴于中亚的战略地位以及全球战略,全方位调整了中亚政策,分析其中亚政策调整的目标及实施手段,可以看出它给中亚各国带来了一定的积极影响,但也给中亚地区以及周边大国包括俄罗斯和中国带来了一定的负面影响。     

新疆西天山西段金铜成矿带——中亚成矿域东延

新疆西天山西段位于哈萨克斯坦 -伊犁板块的东南部边缘 ,包括伊犁石炭纪裂谷、那拉提地块、哈尔克早古生代被动陆缘褶皱带。主要已知矿床 (点 )按其容矿围岩可分为镁铁 -超镁铁岩型、斑岩型、花岗岩型、矽卡岩型、陆相火山岩型、陆相沉积岩型、浅变质含碳碎屑岩型。根据区内成矿地质条件、矿化特征 ,区内以找金矿主 ,兼顾铜镍矿等。金矿以穆龙套型和火山岩型金矿为主 ,同时注意卡林型和中 -酸性侵入岩内外接触带型 ;铜矿以镁铁 -超镁铁岩型和火山岩型为主。地质与成矿条件与中亚成矿域具有可比性 ,因此 ,新疆西天山西段金铜成矿带应为中亚成矿域东延部分     

民族主义与东亚数学编史问题

分析东亚民族主义产生的背景与东亚民族主义史学观的历史根源,论述民族主义史学观支配下东亚数学国别史编纂的研究取向及其影响。认为,这些国别史都是从民族本位出发,强调本国数学的独立性与主体性,重视本民族数学的独特性与数学成就上的差别,而轻忽东亚数学的整体性与同质性。以西方数学作为参照标准,较强的辉格史倾向在为民族科学文化先进性进行辩护方面发挥重要作用,重视数学史内史研究而忽视外史研究的研究范式也为其所需要。欲消除民族主义数学史观的消极影响,就应该树立“东亚数学一体化”的观点,超越民族,从儒家文化、汉字文化的整体视角来审视东亚数学,并且对东亚数学持连续发展的观点。只有把中国、日本与韩国(还包括越南)数学作为一个整体考察,才有可能全面认识东亚数学思想、数学精神与数学知识体系。     

“专注听力”对大学英语语篇听力理解的启示

“听”在大学英语学习中占有举足轻重的地位，却也是多数学生的薄弱之处。“专注听力”可以训练学生边听边分析，边听边记忆的能力和技巧。专注听力是一种思维习惯的训练，帮助学生适应“自上而下“的分析法，学会整体把握信息，同时结合具体信息，对较长的篇章听力做出正确的理解。     

韩国神话历史初探

神话与历史并非相互对立,而是不断互补转化。韩国不同朝代对于民族起源的追溯、对于民族共祖的解释、对于王朝合法性的论证以及对历史的书写模式中都贯穿着共同的神话模式,而对同一神话的解释又各有不同。分化与回归不断重演的过程正是神话历史生成的内在动力。
