Geographic variation of Chevrier's field mouse (Apodemus chevrieri) (Milne-Edwards, 1868) (Muridae : Murinae) from southwestern China based on cranial morphometric variables

Geographic variation of Chevrier's field mouse (Apodemus chevrieri) (Milne-Edwards, 1868) (Muridae: Murinae) from southwestern China based on cranial morphometric variables. Zoological Studies 47(4): 393-401. A sample of 134 specimens of Apodemus chevrieri was investigated in the present study. Individuals were divided into male and female groups, and these were respectively subjected to multivariate analysis. Results indicated that 3 geographic populations of A. chevrieri inhabit southwestern China: a Sichuan population in western Sichuan Province; a northwestern Yunnan population ranging from northwestern Yunnan Province eastward to southern Sichuan Province; and a central Yunnan population in central Yunnan Province. In addition, a coefficient of difference analysis was performed among these 3 geographic populations. The results suggested that these 3 geographical populations of A. chevrieri belonged to 2 subspecies. Furthermore, we discuss the relationships of the subspecific differentiation of A. chevneri with changes in latitude in southwestern China.

The identity of Schizothorax griseus Pellegrin, 1931, with descriptions of three new species of schizothoracine fishes (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from China

The identity of Schizothorax griseus Pellegrin, 1931, is clarified and the species redescribed. Three new species previously identified as S. griseus are described: S. nudiventris, from the Lancang Jiang, China; S. heterophysallidos, from the Nanpan Jiang

南美白对虾（Penaeus vannamei Boone,1931)卵子质量的形态学评估

1）本文描述了南美白对虾正常的卵子形态及发生特点，以及受精卵和非受精卵的形态学鉴别方法。2）从生产的角度出发提出了评估卵子质量的五项指标：同批卵子规格的一致程度，卵子的沉降速度，孵化膜的抗变形能力，4－8细胞期的分裂特点，扩膜卵在同批卵中所占的比例。除此外，对于亲虾持续产卵与所产卵子质量的关系等也作了相应的探讨。
