Morphology and Developmental Traits of the Trilobite Changaspis Elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China
Morphology and developmental traits of the trilobite Changaspis elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China GUANG-YING DU, JIN PENG, DE-ZHI WANG, QIU-JUN WANG, YI-FAN WANG, and HUI ZHANG Du, G.-Y., Peng, J., Wang, D.-Z., Wang, Q.-J., Wang, Y.-F., and Zhang, H. 2019. Morphology and developmental traits of the trilobite Changaspis elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (4): 797–813. The morphology and ontogeny of the trilobite Changaspis elongata based on 216 specimens collected from the Lazizhai section of the Balang Formation (Stage 4, Series 2 of the Cambrian) in Guizhou Province, South China are described. The relatively continuous ontogenetic series reveals morphological changes, and shows that the species has seventeen thoracic segments in the holaspid period, instead of the sixteen as previously suggested. The development of the pygid- ial segments shows that their number gradually decreases during ontogeny. A new dataset of well-preserved specimens offers a unique opportunity to investigate developmental traits after segment addition is completed. The ontogenetic size progressions for the lengths of cephalon and trunk show overall compliance with Dyar’s rule. As a result of different average growth rates for the lengths of cephalon, trunk and pygidium, the length of the thorax relative to the body shows a gradually increasing trend; however, the cephalon and pygidium follow the opposite trend. Morphometric analysis across fourteen post-embryonic stages reveals growth gradients with increasing values for each thoracic segment from anterior to posterior. The reconstruction of the development traits shows visualization of the changes in relative growth and segmentation for the different body parts. -

Page 1/21 Abstract Background: As one of the oldest traditional dyes, natural indigo is commonly used for centuries by the people worldwide. In the process of indigo production, indigenous people have formed unique knowledge of indigo identication because the indigo identication is crucial for indigo quality control and the dyeing effects. However, such indigenous knowledge is rarely documented and explained. Therefore, the aims of this study were to i) document and assess the indigenous knowledge of local people identifying the natural indigo paste and ii) to explore the characteristics and material basis of such indigenous knowledge. -

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. -

Field Research on Dong Ka Lau: a Case Study of Dong Villages in Liping County
| N.º 21/22 | 2014 ( 279-284) Field research on Dong Ka Lau: A case study of Dong villages in Liping County CHEN YONGHONG * [ [email protected] ] LU JINHONG ** [ 595352091.qzone.qq.com ] Abstract | As an artistic and cultural phenomenon, Dong Ka Lau (Dong Chorus) ontology and its associated social, cultural and natural environment have begun to concern many experts and scholars at home and abroad, as well as local governments. On the basis of a field survey, this paper makes an investigation as to whether Dong Ka Lau will continue to manifest Dong minority people’s aesthetic consciousness and pursuits amid today’s rapidly developing local tourism eco- nomy. In addition, the influence on contemporary young people is also of great concern. The study found that commercial performance of Dong Ka Lau heritage in some Dong villages has lost its original cultural significance, while in other villages it has been a vital and inspirational tourism product, of which forms and cultural essence can still exist over a prolonged period of time. This research asserts that cultural ecological self-sustainability and identity can be strengthened and nourished by both external regulations on cultural displays as well as the endogenous power of ethnic minority villages. Keywords | Dong Ka Lau, External regulations, Endogenous power, Participation, Zhaoxing. Resumo | Como um fenómeno artístico e cultural, a ontologia de Dong Ka Lau (Refrão Dong) e o seu ambiente social, cultural e natural associado começaram a preocupar muitos especialistas e estudiosos nacionais e estrangeiros, bem como os governos locais. Com base numa pesquisa de campo, este trabalho de investigação tem por objetivo saber se Dong Ka Lau irá continuar a manifestar consciência estética pelos grupos minoritários Dong, num período de rápido desenvolvimento da economia do turismo local. -
