Mite parasitism of moths: Examples of paleosymbiosis in Dominican amber

Summary Two adult moths (families Gracillariidae and Tineidae) in Dominican amber each contained a pair of larval parasitic mites attached to their bodies. The larval mites were identified as belonging to the family Erythraeidae and represent the first fossil evidence of moths parasitized by mites. Phylogenic and evolutionary implications of this find are discussed in light of similar extant associations.     

The reconstruction of fossil planation surface in China

On the basis of results of relative subjects, the fossil planation surface has been discussed by the authors from the point of geomorphologic view. The discussion contents included the characteristic information, research methods, paleotopography (gradient and altitude) and other problems about fossil planation surface. The recognition and reconstruction of fossil planation surface mainly rely on the following characteristic information: ( i ) the character of erosion unconformity surface; (ii) the paleo-weathering crust and residual deposits; (iii) the paleo-karst and filled deposit in the paleo-karst under the unconformity surface,and (iv) the character and environment of sediment above the unconformity surface. According to the above-mentioned characteristic information, the authors recognized and reconstructed two stages of fossil planation surface on Paleo-land of North China and Yangtze Paleo-land. These two fossil planation surfaces formed from Middle Ordovician to Lower Carboniferous and from Lower Permian to Upper Permian respectively. The paleo-gradient of fossil planation surface changed within 0.31‰-1.32‰, mostly less than 1.0‰. According to the developing depth of paleo-karst, the authors considered that in Suqiao buried-hill region of Paleo-land of North China, the paleo-altitude is 300 m or so above paleo-sea-level. The authors hope that the research is in favor of discussion about rising scale and process of the Tibetan Plateau. Besides, the research of fossil planation surface can provide a theoretical base for relative research,such as the reconstruction of paleoenvironment, the evolution and drift of paleo-continent, the formation and distribution of weathering ore deposits, the reservior and prospection of oil and gas, etc.     

天然气是能源低碳化发展的重要阶段和趋势

随着经济和科技的发展，化石能源发展由低效走向高效，由高碳走向低碳。能源替代将是长期以化石能源为主体和新能源快速发展的过渡。天然气以其常规和非常规巨大资源和高储采比成为低碳化石能源发展的重要阶段，并将成为第一能源。利用化石能源中相对低碳的天然气已引起世界范围的热议和重视，天然气将成为走向能源低碳化的桥梁。天然气在中国也是“新”能源，具有很大的发展潜力。     

电子自旋共振年代计时(III)——关于鹿牙和牛牙化石的研究

采用电子自旋共振年代计时方法测定了贵州桐梓马鞍山的鹿牙化石及河北迁安爪村牛牙化石的年龄,它们分别为(1.5±0.2)×10~4a和(3.7±0.5)×10~4a。在研究作为ESR信号来源的顺磁缺陷中心的性质时,还应用了正电子湮没技术。

河南西峡恐龙18srDNA片段质疑

按照ｒＤＮＡ的结构特点，将ＤＡ１８Ｓ１，７与其他８种生物的ｒＤＮＡ序列进行排列比较，结果表明这２个序列不是恐龙ｒＤＮＡ片段，ＤＡ１８Ｓ７看来更接近一种植物ｒＤＮＡ片段（与金虎尾的同源性达９４％以上），而ＤＡ１８Ｓ１与２种参与比较的真菌ｒＤＮＡ序列有很高的同源性（８８．３％和８９％），它们与脊椎动物ｒＤＮＡ的同源性分别只在６７．８％～７４．１％之间。

热河生物群--探索中生代生命演化的世界级化石宝库

最近十多年来,我国在热河生物群各门类生物研究方面取得了一系列重要的发现和成果。我国辽西地区已经成为世界上研究鸟类起源,恐龙的进化,鸟类、哺乳动物以及被子植物的早期演化和辐射等最重要的地区之一。同位素测年技术的广泛应用,表明热河生物群属于早白垩世,在地球上延续了大约2千万年。热河生物群的繁盛和东亚地区当时特有的温暖的淡水和陆地环境具有密切的联系。而频繁的火山活动又是化石得以大量完美保存的重要因素之一。热河生物群的研究还具有很大的潜力,而对化石的科学发掘和保护的任务还十分艰巨。
