澳大利亚农业推广政策的演变及其对我国的启示

本文对澳大利亚近10余年来农业推广政策与推广服务方式演变的背景、具体内容及其存在的问题进行了客观的分析，对现阶段我国农业推广改革中如何调整政府在农业推广中的角色、改进推广方法、完善多元化的推广服务组织以及推广服务的商品化等问题提出了相应的建议。     

野生动物旅游场所涉入实证分析: 以澳大利亚班布里海豚探索中心为例

对前往澳大利亚班布里海豚探索中心的访客进行调研,运用K-means聚类分析、方差分析等定量方法,分析游客对野生动物旅游中场所涉入程度及差异性。得到以下主要结论:受访者依据涉入程度不同分为浅度场所涉入、深度场所涉入和中等场所涉入,样本总体的场所涉入程度归属深度场所涉入;不同游客特征对野生动物旅游风险的感知具有差异性,年龄和学历对场所涉入存在显著性差异(p≤0.05),性别、收入和家庭状况在场所涉入上均无显著性差异;旅游行为中停留时间、场所消费、信息来源和满意度对场所涉入具有显著性差异(p≤0.05)。研究结果对野生动物保护、目的地管理和市场营销有一定的借鉴和启示意义。     

The genus Nematoplana Meixner, 1938 (Platyhelminthes: Unguiphora) in eastern Australia

Six new species of Nematoplana are described from eastern Australia. They are distinguished on the basis of the morphology of sclerotized structures, chromosome number and morphology, and pigmentation. Six further unguiphorid species were only found immature, and cannot be formally described. They none the less have distinct morphological and/or karyological features. The Unguiphora as a whole, and the genus Nematoplana in particular, are species-rich in eastern Australia. The high diversity of the group appears due both to narrow-range endemics, and to the narrow ecological niche of many of the species.     

New and little‐known species of Didemnidae (Ascidiacea,Tunicata) from Australia (Part 3)

The majority of the 58 species discussed, including 10 new species, were collected by scuba divers at 5–10?m in waters around Australia. Species are from Leptoclinides (11), Polysyncraton (11), Didemnum (19), Trididemnum (7), Lissoclinum (8), Clitella (1), and Diplosoma (1), and new species are in all except Trididemnum and Diplosoma. Additional characters (including a pyloric vesicle reported previously in the Holozoidae and several unrelated didemnid taxa) have been detected for the monotypic genus Clitella Kott, , which is recorded for only the second time. A review of known Australian ascidian species confirms the Didemnidae as the most speciose ascidian family in these waters. In this family, there appears not to be appreciable gene flow between tropical and temperate waters and few species have a continuous tropical–temperate range. A preponderance of Western Pacific non‐indigenous species is in the north, while indigenous species, some probably isolated from related tropical ones, are dominant in the temperate waters of the southern half of the continent. Although intraspecific variation and convergence obscures species differences, some aspects of the living organisms detected in in situ photographs contribute to identification. Keys to Australian didemnid species described since the publication of the Australian Ascidiacea part 4, Didemnidae (Kott ) are included.     

II.—A synoptic revision of the Tanyrrhynchinæ (Curculionidæ)

This paper describes two new earthworm species, Iridodrilus codonothecoformis sp. n. and Iridodrilus condylopapillaris sp. n. and illustrates the major diagnostic features of, and the differences between, Iridodrilus roseus Beddard, 1897 and Heliodrilus lagosensis Beddard, 1890. Hitherto unnoticed features of I. roseus are also illustrated, namely that it possesses a bursa copulatrix and that two pairs of very tiny penial setae in sacs occasionally occur which penetrate the bursa copulatrix. It is also demonstrated that the structures hitherto regarded as a ‘coelomic duct’ that supposedly links the two fertilization chambers is in fact a pair of ovarian ducts that lead from the paired ovaries to the chambers; these ducts are not interlinked. It is further argued that neither Iridodrilus roseus nor Heliodrilus lagosensis can be regarded as having a spermathecal system that is paired internally. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the taxonomy of the two named genera. It is recommended that Iridodrilus and Heliodrilus be regarded as valid genera s.s. Beddard, though with modified diagnoses.     

A new species in the genus Grandidierella Coutière (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from an Australian solar salt-works

Grandidierella propodentata sp. nov., a third Australian species of the genus, is described. It was collected from among algae in a hypersaline lagoon in Queensland. Sexual dimorphism of the uropods is reported for the first time in this genus.     

The larval development of Petalomera japonica (Henderson) (Decapoda,Dromiidae) reared in the laboratory

The complete larval development of Petalomera japonica (Henderson) is described, based on laboratory rearing. The species has two zoeal stages and a megalopa. Detailed comparisons are made with other dromiid larvae, particularly those of Petalomera wilsoni.     

A revision of Bovichtus Cuvier, 1831 (Pisces: Bovichthyidae) from Australasia,with description of a new deepwater species from the New Zealand Subantarctic

The genus Bovichtus includes four species from the Australasian region, viz. B. variegatus Richardson, B. psychrolutes Günther, B. angustifrons Regan, and B. oculus n. sp. B. decipiens Regan and Aurion effulgens Waite are junior synonyms of B. variegatus and B. psychrolutes respectively. B. oculus, described from a specimen taken in 847–902 m on the Campbell Plateau in the New Zealand Subantarctic, is the first known deep water Bovichtus species. It differs from all congeners in having a very large eye (horizontal diameter <9·0 times in SL) and, alone with B. psychrolutes, has a patch of ctenoid scales on the body behind the pectoral fin base.
