Abstract: This study investigated the community structure of ciliates in Gahai Alpine Wetland of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China. We hypothesized that the ciliate community in the Plateau is more complex and the species diversity is richer than those in other climate zones of China. In particular, we studied how the ciliate species responded to environmental temperature, soil moisture content and the manner of pasture utilization. We determined key features of the ciliate communities such as trophic functional groups, ciliate seasonal distribution, species diversity and similarity index at six sample sites from January 2015 to October 2016. To count and characterize ciliates, we combined the non-flooded Petri dish method with in vivo observation and silver staining. We identified 162 ciliate species in this area, showing a high species and functional diversity. The mode of nutri- tion was diverse, with the lowest number of ciliates in group N (Nonselective omnivores, 4 species) and the highest number in group B (Bacterivores-detritivores, 118 species, corresponding to 73% of the total species number).

  • Report on the 8Th International Congress on the Jurassic System Shehong of Suining, Sichuan, China, August 2010
    Volumina Jurassica, 2010, Viii: 165–170 Report on the 8th International Congress on the Jurassic System Shehong of Suining, Sichuan, China, August 2010 Nicol MORTON1 (Former Chairman of ISJS) In September 2006, towards the end of the 7th Jurassic Congress in Kraków, Poland, we received a passionate invitation from Jingeng SHA on behalf of his scientific colleagues for the 8th Jurassic Congress to be held in Shehong of Suining, Sichuan, China. The invitation also had the enthusiastic support of representatives, who were present, of government at local, provincial and national levels. They promised that the resources for organisation and financial support would not be lacking. At the time some of us wondered if they could possibly be able to fulfil all their promises! In August 2010 they delivered! No expense was spared to make us feel welcome and to enable an excellent and success- ful Congress to be held. Quite clearly the Organising Committee had expended an enormous amount of time and resources on the organisation and a complex set of arrangements. They are to be congratulated for the success of their hard work. Before the Congress there was slight disquiet as to whether the strong governmental input on the organisation might influence the scientific emphasis of the Congress. It did not. The impression was that our hosts were genuinely delighted and honoured by our presence. Of course, it was used to promote tourism in the area, for example several references to the Jurassic Congress in the Air China inflight magazine! On the other hand, this was also superb positive publicity for the Congress and for research on Jurassic stratigraphy and palaeontology.

  • Genetic Signatures of High-Altitude Adaptation and Geographic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genetic signatures of high‑altitude adaptation and geographic distribution in Tibetan sheep Jianbin Liu1,2*, Chao Yuan1,2, Tingting Guo1,2, Fan Wang3, Yufeng Zeng1, Xuezhi Ding1, Zengkui Lu1,2, Dingkao Renqing4, Hao Zhang5, Xilan Xu6, Yaojing Yue1,2, Xiaoping Sun1,2, Chune Niu1,2, Deqing Zhuoga7* & Bohui Yang1,2* Most sheep breeding programs designed for the tropics and sub‑tropics have to take into account the impacts of environmental adaptive traits. However, the genetic mechanism regulating the multiple biological processes driving adaptive responses remains unclear. In this study, we applied a selective sweep analysis by combing 1% top values of Fst and ZHp on both altitude and geographic subpopulations (APS) in 636 indigenous Tibetan sheep breeds. Results show that 37 genes were identifed within overlapped genomic regions regarding Fst signifcantly associated with APS. Out of the 37 genes, we found that 8, 3 and 6 genes at chromosomes (chr.) 13, 23 and 27, respectively, were identifed in the genomic regions with 1% top values of ZHp. We further analyzed the INDEL variation of 6 genes at chr.27 (X chromosome) in APS together with corresponding orthologs of 6 genes in Capra, Pantholops, and Bos Taurus. We found that an INDEL was located within 5′UTR region of HAG1 gene. This INDEL of HAG1 was strongly associated with the variation of APS, which was further confrmed by qPCR. Sheep breeds carrying “C‑INDEL” of HAG1 have signifcantly greater body weight, shear amount, corpuscular hemoglobin and globulin levels, but lower body height, than those carrying “CA‑INDEL” of HAG1.

    Uprising in Tibet 10 March-30 April 2008 CITIES AND COUNTIES WHERE PROTESTS DOCUMENTED BY TIBET WATCH OCCURRED Lanzhou Rebkong Tsigor Thang Labrang Mangra Tsoe Luchu Machu Dzoge Marthang Ngaba Serthar Kandze Drango Tawu Bathang Lhasa 28 CHARLES SQUARE, LONDON, N1 6HT, U.K. PHONE: +44 (0)20 7324 4608 FAX: +44 (0)20 7324 4606 INTRODUCTION This report is a summary of information gathered and received by Tibet Watch concerning protests in Tibet which occurred during March and April 2008. It is not a comprehensive record of all the protests that took place in Tibet, but only of those incidents which Tibet Watch has received reliable information about. Indeed, it is likely that there were many incidents of protest across Tibet which have remain unreported due to the tight security restrictions and communications lockdown imposed. It is for the same reason that it has since been extremely difficult to find out any further information about the documented events other than what is provided here. Although some of the information in this document relies on single sources, the news we have received has, where possible, been corroborated or checked against information received by other news gathering organizations.

  • Shehong of Suining, Sichuan Province, China
    GEOLOGICA CARPATHICA, OCTOBER 2010, 61, 5, 382 The 8th International Congress on the Jurassic System Shehong of Suining, Sichuan Province, China Shehong of Suining near Chengdu was the location of the 8th International Congress on the Jurassic System held from August, 2nd to 22nd, 2010. Sichuan, the home of the giant panda and Chinese dragons, is a splendid land in SW China below the Tibetan Plateau. This province is famous for its historical, cultural, as well as geoscientific resources, including five UNESCO World Culture and Natural Heritage sites. Suining, a city with profound cultural relics, such as the Lingquan Temple of the Sui Dynasty, the Guangde Temple of the Tang Dynasty, and the hometown of Guanying Buddha, is important for stratotypes of the Upper Jurassic “Suining-“ and “Penglaizhen” formations. Shehong, administratively attached to Suining City, with a population of over one million inhabitants is close to three major cities including Chengdu, Chongqing and Mianyang. It is the hometown of Chen Zi’ang, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. The Shehong National Geopark of Jurassic Petrified Forest is located nearby. All the Congress sessions were arranged in the Fuluowan Hotel in Shehong, a beautiful lake-side hotel surrounded by Upper Jurassic outcrops along the Fujiang River. The Jurassic Congress was initiated by the International Union of Geological Sciences, and by the Jurassic Branch of the International Commission on Stratigraphy and funded by UNESCO. It was the first time the event has been held in the Asia-Pacific region. The “marine and non-marine Jurassic System” was the central theme of the Congress.
