A new species of Phrynobatrachus (Amphibia: Anura: Phrynobatrachidae) from the Northern Mountains of Tanzania

ABSTRACT

Using integrative approaches, a new large-bodied species of Phrynobatrachus is described from a series of 48 specimens from the montane forests of the West Usambara and North Pare Mountains of Tanzania. The most distinguishing morphological feature separating Phrynobatrachus ambanguluensis sp. nov from similar species is the markedly overhanging and pointed upper jaw and snout. Mitochondrial 16S rRNA indicates that the new species differs from all other species with published sequence data by a minimum distance of 4.75% and is sister to P. krefftii, with which it has been confused in the past. The new species is known from two forest reserves and is of high conservation concern given these areas are highly impacted by anthropogenic change.

论龙门山中北段东缘印支运动晚幕的性质

对龙门山中北段东缘地区印支运动晚幕的性质有两种看法,即褶皱运动和局部上升运动。经对该次构造事件之不整合的性质再研究后,认为其为一次掀斜运动。形成该掀斜运动的机制为从晚三叠世晚期至中侏罗世中期区域水平挤压力减小而引起龙门山前陆盆地岩石圈均衡回返上升。

研究了福建武夷山自然保护区2个典型植物群落一甜槠群落(Castanopsis eyrei community)和黄山松群落(Pinus taiwanensis community)建群种的热值和灰分含量,以及凋落物热值的季节变化.结果表明:(1)2个建群种甜槠和黄山松各器官的灰分含量、干重热值和去灰分热值因种而异,同种植物不同器官之间灰分含量和热值存在差异.甜槠各器官灰分含量在0.69%～4.09%之间,干重热值在17.06～20.28kJ/g之间,去灰分热值在17.46～21.00kJ/g 之间;黄山松各器官灰分含量在0.58%～3.14%之间,干重热值在16.27～22.14kJ/g之间,去灰分热值在16.60～22.58kJ/g之间.(2)甜槠和黄山松凋落物热值的季节变化存在差异.(3)林地残留物的干重热值与年凋落物的干重热值相比,呈现了下降的趋势.     

Characteristics and geological significance of the eclogites from the Tongbai Mountains, Henan Province

Some eclogites and the related high-P metamorphic belt have been found for the first time from the Tongbai Mountains, Henan Province, where the eclogites and their probable retrogressive products ——garnet amphibolites——occur as lenses in mica-schists. The fresh eclogites comprise garnet, omphacite, quartz, rutile, phengite, barroisite, etc. The compositional features of garnet and available geothermobarometers indicated that the eclogites belong to the low-T type. The mica-schists contain phengite, quartz, garnet and rutile that are also attributed to high-P assemblage. The eclogites and related high-P belt probably belong to the Early Paleozoic in age, which is distinct from the Indosinian Dabie high- and ultrahigh-P metamorphic belt.     

使用 MiVnt图像分析系统进行树木 年轮细胞特征研究的尝试

以芦芽山白杄(Picea meyeri)的树轮样本作为对象,尝试使用MiVnt图像分析系统观测树轮细胞特征.建立了包含树轮宽度、细胞数目、细胞大小、最大细胞大小、最小细胞大小、早材细胞数目、晚材细胞数目在内的7个树轮年表.结果表明,树轮宽度、细胞数目和早材细胞数目年表具有较高的气候信息质量.晚材细胞数目年表与其余年表之间具有负相关关系,表明细胞特征可以体现与树轮宽度不同的气候信息.除晚材细胞数目年表外,其余年表均与生长季气温呈负相关,与降水呈正相关,体现了土壤干旱对树木生长的限制.晚材细胞数目年表与生长季末期的降水显著负相关,体现了生长季末期气候条件对形成层细胞的影响.本文是研究树木生长与气候因子关系的有益补充.

S-wave velocity of the crust around Tianshan Mountains inverted from seismic ambient noise tomography

We process ambient noise data from seismic stations deployed in central Asia to determine the crustal shear wave velocity structure beneath the Tianshan Mountians and surrounding area. About 748 inter-station Rayleigh wave empirical Green’s functions have been recovered to estimate the phase velocity dispersions over periods from 6 to 50 s using the image transformation technique. Results show that for short periods (6–20 s), the distribution of Rayleigh wave phase velocities is generally consistent with surface geology, with high velocities corresponding to mountain ranges and low velocities to sedimentary basins. Along two profiles, which trend from NE-SW and NW-SE, the shear wave velocity shows a pair of high velocity anomalies dipping in opposite directions beneath the Tianshan Mountains. At shallow depths, those high velocity anomalies roughly correlate with areas where the mountain front and the surrounding basin are connected. The profiles also show a narrow zone beneath the Tianshan Mountains, which may represent a route for the upwelling from upper mantle. Those observations suggest that the underthrusting of the Tarim Basin and Kazakh Shield combine with the weakness of the crust, which is heated by the upwelling from upper mantle, may play an important role on the reactivation of the Tianshan Mountains associated with the India-Eurasia collision.     

Late Pleistocene glaciation of the Changbai Mountains in northeastern China

The Changbai Mountains （2749 m a.s.l.） in northeastern China are one of the typical mountain regions with glaciation since late Pleistocene as evidenced by well-preserved erosive and accumulative landforms at elevations above 2000 m a.s.l, formed by glaciers around the crater lake, Tianchi Lake. Cirque glaciers developed on both the inner and outer sides of the volcanic cone. Well-preserved cirques, glacial trough valleys, glacial threholds, polished surfaces of the glacial erratics and the moraine ridges indicate that several glaciation processes took place during the last glacial period in this region. Resuits of optically stimulated luminescence （OSL） dating on the moraine sediments, and the K/Ar, thermal ionization mass spectrometry （TIMS）, electronic spinning resonance （ESR） dating on the volcanic rocks suggest two periods of glacier advances. One is named the Black Wind Mouth glacier advance taking place on the west and north slopes of the volcanic cone at an elevation of 2000-2100 m a.s.l., which is dated to about 20 ka, being the result of the Last Glacial Maximum （LGM）. The other is named the Meteorological Station glacier advance at the elevation of 2400-2600 m a.s.l., dated to 11 ka during the late glacial period, and is tentatively correlated to the Younger Dryas stage. The scope of the former glacier advance is larger than that of the latter. Regional comparisons showed that the glacial sequences in the Changbai Mountains are similar to other glaciated areas in eastern Asia during the later part of the last glacial cycle.
