英文版《中国显生宙腕足动物属志》编著出版

 《中国显生宙腕足动物属志》对中国显生宙古生代（寒武纪、奥陶纪、志留纪、泥盆纪、石炭纪和二叠纪）和中生代（三叠纪、侏罗纪和白垩纪）9个纪的海相地层中、于1883至2015年、根据中国材料创建的757个属的腕足动物化石进行逐一查考和再研究，对属的取舍及其分类位置提出了新观点，并将相关的模式种展示于125个图版中。在最新各纪年代地层框架下，更新各属的地质历程，并确定各属的地理分布。在梳理相关的其他腕足动物属的基础上，论述各时期的化石组合或动物群；并对显生宙几个重大宏演化过程中腕足动物的作用和意义进行了探讨。中国的这些腕足动物化石，不仅在地层划分对比、盆地分析和矿产勘探上有重要意义，在古生态、古生物地理、古气候与古环境及全球古地理再造上，也具有独到的学术价值。

Publication of《Phanerozoic Brachiopod Genera of China》

《Phanerozoic Brachiopod Genera of China》 was published in 2017. This book consists of two volumes with nine geochronological divisions from the Cambrian to Cretaceous. It provides a comprehensive revision and taxonomic update of all genera that are based on their type species from China established from 1883 to 2015. Altogether, there are 757 genera in 15 orders and nearly 200 families, of which 452 are treated as valid. Diagnoses, comparisons, assigned species, and temporal and spatial distributions of all genera are thoroughly reviewed, and faunal successions and palaeobiogeography of each geologic period are presented. Notes on macroevolution of the brachiopods of China, including the Cambrian explosion, the Great Ordovician biodiversification, the end-Ordovician, Frasnian-Famennian and end-Permian mass extinctions, the Middle Triassic radiation and the origination of some major groups of brachiopods are afforded in brief. Nearly all the relevant type specimens are illustrated in 125 plates. This book provides the most complete and consistent dataset of all brachiopod genera based on the Chinese materials. It will be of interest to palaeontologists, geologists and biologists who wish to learn the Chinese brachiopods and their bearings on biostratigraphy, biogeography and other related areas.
