New pelecinid wasps (Hymenoptera: Pelecinidae) from the Yixian Formation of western Liaoning,China     

《Cretaceous Research》2016

A new species, Shoushida infera sp. nov. and a new genus with a new species, Stelepelecinus longus gen. et sp. nov., both in Pelecinidae, are described and illustrated. All specimens were collected from the Lower Cretaceous of Yixian Formation, Jehol Biota at Huangbanjigou, Beipiao City, western Liaoning Province, China. The forewing of Shoushida infera sp. nov. has a rudimentary “X” pattern, formed by veins of Rs, Rs₁, Rs₂ and 2r-rs, which is similar to but slightly different from that of Shoushida regilla Liu, Shih et Ren, 2009. Consistent with the phylogeny of Pelecinidae reported by Shih et al., 2010, this new species and S. regilla represent a transition between basal and crown pelecinids and the rudimentary “X” pattern evolved later to a more developed and robust “X” pattern in more derived pelecinids. In addition, the long petiole of the basalmost segment of metasoma, present in the male Stelepelecinus longus gen. et sp. nov., is documented for the first time, suggesting a likely Early Cretaceous origination of metasomal evolution leading to the thin and long petiole structure in the extant male Pelecinus thoracicus. We proposed two probable pathways of the transformation of the pelecinid male metasoma from the most plesiomorphic state to the more apomorphic states.  相似文献   

First record of fossil comb-clawed beetles of the tribe Cteniopodini (Insecta: Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from the Jehol Biota (Yixian formation of China), Lower Cretaceous     

《Cretaceous Research》2016

A new genus and species Platycteniopus diversoculatus is described from the Lower Cretaceous (Yixian Formation, Laoning, China). The new genus belongs to the tribe Cteniopodini as shown by six visible abdominal ventrites (ventrite 6 is sternite VIII), in comparison with other Alleculinae which have five abdominal ventrites; epistomal canthus of eyes not emarginate; anterior margin of first abdominal ventrite not bordered. On the other hand, Platycteniopus diversoculatus has some characters not typical for Cteniopodini: bifid mandibles and serrate antennae. The oldest representative of the tribe has combination of characters of tribes Alleculini and Cteniopodini. Recent representatives of Cteniopodini are associated with flowers of angiosperms, while other groups of Alleculinae, especially Gonoderini and Alleculini are mainly saprophagous and lichenophagous. Age of Platycteniopus finding coincides with the beginning of the angiosperms heyday.  相似文献   

凯里生物群中始海百合类形态功能、生态及埋藏特征初探   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

毛永琴  彭进  赵元龙  王宇轩 《高校地质学报》2007,13(1):60-68

贵州剑河八郎中寒武世凯里生物群中始海百合十分丰富,化石标本多达1万多件,分属长茎型的卢氏中国始海百合（Sinoeocrinus Zhao, Huang et Gong,1994）及短茎型的球形中国始海百合（Sinoeocrinus globus Zhao et al, 1999）。它们均具有腕枝、萼、茎及吸盘,少数标本见有肛锥。幼年体缝孔不发育,成年体具有较发育的缝孔。大部分个体为单体生活。短茎型的萼呈球形,茎短,吸盘大,常固着在腕足动物外壳及三叶虫背壳碎片上。长茎的萼呈长椭圆球形茎长,吸盘小,常固着在砂泥质海底。两个种的腕肢也有差别,长茎的直长,短茎的旋转生长,显示两个种的形态差别及多样性。由于始海百合死亡后迅速被掩埋,80%以上的个体保存完整。化石大部分保存无定向性,显示静水环境,海底紊流很少,不仅显示原地埋藏特征,也为凯里生物群是原地埋藏提供了重要证据。  相似文献   

Selenium in sediments, pore waters and benthic infauna of Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

G. M. Peters  W. A. Maher  F. Krikowa  A. C. Roach  H. K. Jeswani  J. P. Barford  V. G. Gomes  D. D. Reible 《Marine environmental research》1999,47(5):2518

Measurements of selenium in sediments and benthic infauna of Lake Macquarie, an estuary on the east coast of Australia, indicate that sediments are a significant source of selenium in the lake's food web. Analysis of surficial sediment samples indicated higher selenium concentrations near what are believed to be the main industrial sources of selenium to the lake: a smelter and a power station. Sediment cores taken from sediments in Mannering Bay, near a power station at Vales Point, contained an average of 12 times more selenium in surficial sections than sediment cores from Nord's Wharf, a part of the lake remote from direct inputs of selenium. The highest selenium concentration found in Mannering Bay sediments (17.2 μg/g) was 69 times the apparent background concentration at Nord's Wharf (0.25 μg/g). Pore water concentrations in Mannering Bay were also high, up to 5 μg/l compared to those at Nord's Wharf which were below detection limits (0.2 μg/l). Selenium concentrations in muscle tissues of three benthic-feeding fish species (Mugil cephalus, Platycephalus fuscus, Acanthopagrus australis) were significantly correlated (p<0.05) with surficial sediment selenium concentration. Selenium concentrations in polychaetes and molluscs of Mannering Bay were up to 58 times higher than those from Nord's Wharf. Two benthic organisms, the eunicid polychaete Marphysa sanguinea and the bivalve mollusc Spisula trigonella, were maintained at different densities in selenium-spiked sediments. Both animals accumulated selenium from the spiked sediment, confirming that bioaccumulation from contaminated sediments occurs. Collectively, these data suggest that benthic food webs are important sources of selenium to the fish of Lake Macquarie.  相似文献

辽西热河生物群演化的主要地质背景     

张立军 《世界地质》2013,32(3):447-462

本文结合近年来辽宁省化石资源调查成果,对辽西热河生物群的分布和组成进行了总结,进一步明确了以辽西各主要盆地化石群为代表的相对连续的化石群序列; 运用宏观进化理论和地理隔离等观点分析了辽西热河生物群脊椎动物的演化,并对其主要地质背景进行了总结。对辽西热河生物群脊椎动物的演化,可识别出辐射、趋同和复式进化等类型; 在义县组阶段存在着由于地理隔离而发生的成种事件,九佛堂组阶段翼龙和鸟类的辐射可能与由于食性分化而导致的生态隔离有关; 热河生物群的演替很可能是打破地理隔离后部分物种的绝灭、一些本地起源物种的向外迁移和外来物种的侵入、部分类群的辐射和复式进化共同作用的结果,与其所处的主要地质背景在时空上协同一致。综合分析认为,义县组火山岩已经“穿时”,在其晚期火山活动初始,已进入九佛堂组阶段。  相似文献   

Perfluorinated compounds in estuarine and coastal areas of north Bohai Sea, China   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in water, sediment, soil, and biota collected from estuarine and coastal areas of the north Bohai Sea, China, were determined by use of HPLC-MS/MS. Significant concentrations of PFCs were found in water (mean: 18.4 ng/l) and biologic samples (fish: 265 ng/g dw), while concentrations of PFCs in soils and sediments were less. The predominately detected compound was perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), with a maximum concentration of 30.9 ng/l in water and 791 ng/g dw in fish. Concentrations of PFCs were significantly greater in the Liaohe River system than other locations, which suggests point sources in this urbanized and industrialized region. PFOS concentrations in water and biota were both less than the reported threshold concentrations. Detection of PFCs at relatively great concentrations in various environmental matrices from this region suggested that further studies characterizing concentrations of PFCs, their sources and potential risk to both humans and wildlife are needed.  相似文献

贵州金沙长岩沟牛蹄塘组生物群化石丰富,共计25属,以海绵动物为主,另有节肢动物及藻类两大门类化石代表.海绵动物以普通海绵为主,计8属,占整个海绵动物属的57％;六射海绵5属,占海绵的36％,另有纲、目及科未定1属.节肢动物8属中高肌虫占优势,计有5属;大型双壳节肢动物2属,三叶虫仅1属.藻类共计3属.与遵义牛蹄塘生物群相比,两地均以普通海绵为主,金沙长岩沟牛蹄塘生物群海绵更为丰富,与遵义黑沙坡的海绵组成有差异.金沙长岩沟节肢动物中三叶虫少,仅1属,但高肌虫丰富,达5属,而遵义黑沙坡只有2属高肌虫,三叶虫则达4属.遵义和金沙牛蹄塘组生物群分别有藻类属4个和3个,共有属2个.两地同一生物群组成的差异,说明同处扬子浅水区的金沙长岩沟及遵义黑沙坡沉积环境可能有所差异,因而组成面貌也有差异.两地牛蹄塘生物群均具有显著的澄江生物群色彩.  相似文献   

辽西义县组基性、中基性火山岩内沉凝灰岩层的发现及其意义     

陈树旺 《国土资源》2001,18(1)

义县组岩性以基性、中基性火山岩、火山碎屑岩为主，局部发育有富含“热河生物群”化石的沉积层。在这些沉积层之下、义县组复成分底砾岩之上，发现有 4个沉凝灰岩层，与基性、中基性火山岩呈互层状产出，其岩性以沉凝灰岩或含砾凝灰质粉砂岩为主。这些凝灰岩层厚度虽小，但分布较广泛，走向延伸稳定。根据辽西地区中生代火山岩活动的基本规律，沉凝灰岩层与基性、中基性火山岩的空间展布特征及野外地质综合研究将义县组早期火山活动划分出 5个火山作用旋回，并确认四合屯、黄半吉沟、尖山沟、以及上园、大康堡、河夹心等地富含“热河生物群”化石的沉积层均属于同一火山旋回（第五旋回）的产物。这一发现极大地丰富了辽西地区中生代陆相盆地火山—沉积作用的研究内容，并将促进火山活动与生物灭绝事件方面的研究工作。  相似文献   

Trace organic contamination in biota collected from the Pearl River Estuary, China: a preliminary risk assessment   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

The marine ecosystem of the Pearl River Delta, located on the southern coast of China, has been heavily exploited following the rapid economic growth that has occurred since the 1980s. This investigation aimed to elucidate trace organic contamination in marine biota inhabiting the Pearl River Delta area. Biota samples, including green-lipped mussels (Perna viridis), oysters (Crassostrea rivularis) and shrimp (Penaeus orientalis) were sampled from 16 stations fringing the Estuary. Elevated concentrations (on a dry weight basis) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (27.8–1041.0 ng/g), petroleum hydrocarbons (1.7–2345.4 μg/g), polychlorinated biphenyls (2.1–108.8 ng/g), DDTs (1.9–79.0 ng/g), and hexachlorocyclohexanes (n.d.–38.4 ng/g) were recorded. A human health risk assessment was conducted to estimate the risk to local residents associated with the consumption of biota collected from the Pearl River Estuary. The results indicated that PCBs were at levels that may cause deleterious health effects in populations that consume large amounts of seafood. However, it would be instructive to establish health criteria for trace organic contaminants that are specific to the local populations, in order to derive a more accurate and relevant health risk assessment.  相似文献
