E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of nemacheiline loach, Triplophysa pseudostenura, is described from the Yalong River, a tributary of the upper Yangtze River drainage in China. Previous collectors misidentified the species as T. stenura. Triplophysa pseudostenura can be separated from T. stenura and other valid species of Triplophysa by the following combination of characters: body smooth and without scales; head tapering; lips thin and smooth; trunk and caudal peduncle slender, laterally compressed; depth of caudal peduncle tapering posteroventrally approaching caudal fin; posterior chamber of gas bladder reduced or absent; intestine short, forming a zigzag loop posterior to bottom of ‘U’-shaped stomach; insertion of pelvic fins anterior to dorsal-fin origin; caudal fin deeply concave. Key words: Teleost, new species, Upper Yangtze River, fish Introduction The genus Triplophysa is a species-rich group in the subfamily Nemacheilinae, and is currently hypothesized to have 126 species, 108 of which are thus far known from China (He 2008; He et al. -

(Received December 17, 2004; accepted in revised form July 5, 2005) Abstract—We examined the fluvial geochemistry of the Huang He (Yellow River) in its headwaters to determine natural chemical weathering rates on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where anthropogenic impact is considered small. Qualitative treatment of the major element composition demonstrates the dominance of carbonate and evaporite dissolution. Most samples are supersaturated with respect to calcite, 87 86 dolomite, and atmospheric CO2 with moderate (0.710–0.715) Sr/ Sr ratios, while six out of 21 total samples have especially high concentrations of Na, Ca, Mg, Cl, and SO4 from weathering of evaporites. We used inversion model calculations to apportion the total dissolved cations to rain-, evaporite-, carbonate-, and silicate-origin. The samples are either carbonate- or evaporite-dominated, but the relative contributions of the ϫ 3 four sources vary widely among samples. -
Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers. -

Revised Draft Experiences with Inter Basin Water
REVISED DRAFT EXPERIENCES WITH INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS FOR IRRIGATION, DRAINAGE AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT ICID TASK FORCE ON INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS Edited by Jancy Vijayan and Bart Schultz August 2007 International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) 48 Nyaya Marg, Chanakyapuri New Delhi 110 021 INDIA Tel: (91-11) 26116837; 26115679; 24679532; Fax: (91-11) 26115962 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.icid.org 1 Foreword FOREWORD Inter Basin Water Transfers (IBWT) are in operation at a quite substantial scale, especially in several developed and emerging countries. In these countries and to a certain extent in some least developed countries there is a substantial interest to develop new IBWTs. IBWTs are being applied or developed not only for irrigated agriculture and hydropower, but also for municipal and industrial water supply, flood management, flow augmentation (increasing flow within a certain river reach or canal for a certain purpose), and in a few cases for navigation, mining, recreation, drainage, wildlife, pollution control, log transport, or estuary improvement. Debates on the pros and cons of such transfers are on going at National and International level. New ideas and concepts on the viabilities and constraints of IBWTs are being presented and deliberated in various fora. In light of this the Central Office of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) has attempted a compilation covering the existing and proposed IBWT schemes all over the world, to the extent of data availability. The first version of the compilation was presented on the occasion of the 54th International Executive Council Meeting of ICID in Montpellier, France, 14 - 19 September 2003. -

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. -

Quaternary Glaciation of the Bailang River Valley, Qilian Shan
http://www.paper.edu.cn Quaternary International 97–98 (2002) 103–110 Quaternary glaciation of the Bailang River Valley, Qilian Shan Shangzhe Zhou*, Jijun Li, Shiqiang Zhang Department of Geography, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, People’s Republic of China Abstract The Qilian Shan, on the Northeast margin of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, is weakly influenced by the Asian monsoon. Until recently, the Quaternary glacial geology of this region has been poorly understood. This paper describes a sequence of Quaternary glacial deposits in the upper reaches of the Bailang River. Using electron spin resonance (ESR), thermoluminescence (TL) and radiocarbon dating, tills, loess, buried soils and landforms were dated. The oldest till was dated B463 ka BP by ESR. A younger till and its outwash terrace were dated to B135 and 130 ka BP. The loess on this outwash terrace was dated to 141.7711.4 ka BP at its base and 43.773.5 ka BP in its central part by TL dating. A buried soil on a younger till was dated at 6920778 ka BP using 14C. The glacial landforms and these dating results show that glacial advances occurred during the Little Ice Age, the Neoglacial, MIS2–4, MIS6, and MIS12. Glaciation during MIS12 implies that the Qilian Mountains were rising coevally with the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, and were probably at a sufficient elevation for glaciation since at least 463 ka BP. r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd and INQUA.
