云南18 个民族Y染色体双等位基因单倍型频率的主成分分析

世居云南的少数民族中,壮、傣、水、布依、布朗、德昂、佤、彝、白、怒、哈尼、傈僳、拉祜、纳西、景颇、阿昌、基 诺和独龙18 个民族是由“羌”、“濮”、“越”3 大部落群体演化而来,是云南的土著居民。利用PCR2RFL P 方法对这18 个土著民族进行Y染色体上13 个双等位基因位点进行基因分型。结果显示,不同历史族源的民族群体在Y染 色体双等位基因单倍型分布上具有一定的差异:在百越后裔民族群体中以单倍型H11 、H12 为主要分布;在氐羌后 裔民族中以单倍型H5 、H6 和H8 为主要分布;在百濮后裔民族群体中主要单倍型分布为H6 、H8 和H11 。进一步 主成分分析表明,百越后裔民族群体和氐羌后裔民族在主成分图上聚为两组,提示父系基因库有不同的来源,与历 史记载相印证。

云南省玉龙雪山自然保护区鸟类资源调查

2007年9～11月和2008年4～5月,对云南省丽江玉龙雪山自然保护区的鸟类资源进行了调查,共记录鸟类184种,结合中国科学院昆明动物研究所鸟类标本室收藏的该地区标本和文献记录的种类,保护区内共记录鸟类330种(另13亚种),隶属47科(另4亚科),18目,占云南省所录鸟类种数848种的38.92%,全国鸟类种数1329种的24.83%。其中国家一级保护物种1种,二级保护物种29种。黑眉长尾山雀Aegithalos iouschistos和大嘴乌鸦Corvus macrorhynchos为保护区内的优势种类。保护区记录的鸟类有留鸟230种和亚种,占所录鸟类种和亚种数的67.05%。区系成分以东洋界物种为主,有182种,占繁殖鸟类总种数的66.42%。亚区级区系分析表明保护区的鸟类以西南山地亚区的种类为主。结合该区鸟类生境分布的特点,提出云南松高山松林、针阔混交林和寒温性暗针叶林的保护是保护工作的重点。
