Evolution of the Euphrasia transmorrisonensis complex (Orobanchaceae) in alpine areas of Taiwan - Ming‐Jou Wu; Shing‐Fan Huang; Tseng‐Chieng Huang; Pei‐Fen Lee; Tsan‐Piao Lin (Journal of Biogeography, 2005)
Aims To unravel isolation and differentiation of the genetic structure of the Euphrasia transmorrisonensis complex, a showy herb, among alpine regions of mountain peaks in subtropical Taiwan and to infer its evolutionary history. Location Alpine ecosystems of high‐montane regions of Taiwan. Methods Phylogenetic analyses of the trn L intron and the trn L– trn F intergenic spacer of chloroplast (cp) DNA, and the intertranscribed spacer (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal (nr) DNA between 18S and 26S were carried out on 18 populations of the E. transmorrisonensis complex in Taiwan. Results In total, 10 haplotypes for cpDNA and 14 haplotypes for nrDNA were detected. Three population groups located in the northern, north‐eastern, and south‐central regions of the Central Mountain Range (CMR) were revealed according to the frequencies of haplotypes and haplotype lineages of nrDNA. Balancing selection might have played a role in the evolution of Euphrasia in Taiwan. Main conclusions By integrating the spatial‐genetic patterns of cpDNA and nrDNA, two possible evolutionary histories of Euphrasia in Taiwan were inferred. The favourable hypotheses for interpreting the data suggest at least three origins of the E. transmorrisonensis complex in Taiwan, corresponding to each nuclear lineage in the northern (II), northern/north‐eastern (I), and central/southern regions (III) with subsequent hybridization between lineages I and II and lineages II and III. These lineage boundaries are strengthened by the finding that haplotypes of C derived from cpDNA were found in the geographical region of lineage II of nrDNA, while haplotypes of A derived from cpDNA were found in the region of lineage III of nrDNA. Thus, the origin of chloroplasts exclusive to lineages II and III supports their long‐term isolation from one another.

Energy flux, body size and density in relation to bird species richness along an elevational gradient in Taiwan - Tzung‐Su Ding; Hsiao‐Wei Yuan; Shu Geng; Yao‐Sung Lin; Pei‐Fen Lee (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2005)
Aim To examine the species richness of breeding birds along a local elevational gradient and to test the following assumptions of the energy limitation hypothesis: (1) the energy flux through birds is positively correlated with above‐ground net primary productivity, (2) bird density is positively correlated with total energy flux, and (3) bird species richness is positively correlated with bird density. Location An elevational gradient from 1400 to 3700 m on Mt. Yushan, the highest mountain in Taiwan (23°28′30″ N, 120°54′00″ E), with a peak of 3952 m a.s.l. Methods We established 50 sampling stations along the elevational gradient. From March to July 1992, we estimated the density of each bird species using the variable circular‐plot method. Above‐ground net primary productivity was modelled using monthly averages from weather data for the years 1961–90. Results Bird species richness had a hump‐shaped relationship with elevation and with net primary productivity. Bird energy flux was positively correlated with net primary productivity and bird species richness was positively correlated with bird density. The relationship between bird density and energy flux was hump‐shaped, which does not support one assumption of the energy limitation hypothesis. Main conclusions The results supported two essential assumptions of the energy limitation hypothesis. However, when energy availability exceeded a certain level, it could decrease species richness by increasing individual energy consumption, which reduced bird density. Thus, energy availability is a primary factor influencing bird species richness at this scale, but other factors, such as body size, could also play important roles.

Geochemical and Sm–Nd isotopic characteristics of metabasites from central Hainan Island, South China and their tectonic significance - Xian‐Hua Li; Hanwen Zhou; Sun‐Lin Chung; Shijiang Ding; Ying Liu; Chi‐Yu Lee; Wenchun Ge; Yeming Zhang; Renjie Zhang (Island Arc, 2002)
Major and trace elements and Sm–Nd isotopic data are presented for metabasites that are present as lenses within Paleozoic metasediments in the Chenxing and Bangxi regions, central Hainan Island, Southeast (SE) China. Most metabasites are metamorphosed cumulated gabbroic rocks tholeiitic in nature, and characterized by varying degrees of depletion in Th, Nb, Ta and light rare earth elements (LREE). Moreover, they show high positive ∈Nd(T) values of approximately +7, similar to those of mid‐ocean ridge basalts (MORB). A Sm–Nd isochron age of 333 ± 12 Ma obtained for the metabasites is interpreted as their crystallization age. The combined geochemical and Sm–Nd isotopic data suggest that the metabasites were generated by dynamic partial melting from a MORB‐like mantle source in an oceanic regime. These rocks probably represent remnants of fragmented oceanic crust of the eastern part of Paleo‐Tethys. They were obducted onto the continental crust as part of the ‘Shilu Mélange’ in earliest Mesozoic time when southern Hainan (part of the Indochina block) collided with northern Hainan (part of South China). Alternatively, they could be formed in a volcanic rifted passive margin at the sea‐floor spreading stage as part of MORB‐like seaward‐dipping reflector break‐up packages.

By removing a small amount of yolk, tilapia embryos were dechorionated successfully as early as 30 h after fertilization. Using DASPEI, a mitochondrion‐specific fluorescent stain, we were able to determine the first appearance of the mitochondrion rich cells on the surface of the yolk sac 26 h after fertilization ( c. 2 h after the beginning of gastrula stage). However, with scanning electron microscopy examination, no apical crypt could be found until 48 h after fertilization.

Stimulation of testicular function by exogenous testosterone in male protandrous black porgy, Acanthopagrus schlegeli - E.‐L. Lau; B.‐Y. Lin; F.‐Y. Lee; L.‐T. Sun; S. Dufour; C.‐F. Chang (Journal of Fish Biology, 1997)
When 4 mg of testosterone (T) per kg food was given to 1‐year‐old protandrous male black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegeli for 7 months, gonadosomatic index was significantly higher than when the dose was 0.5 mg kg −1 food. Both doses of T prolonged the spawning season, and increased the number of spermiating fish and milt volume. Sperm concentrations were similar in spermiating black porgy from the treated and control groups. Low levels of oestradiol‐17β were observed during the experimental period while elevated levels of plasma T were observed only in March in both control and T‐treated groups. Significantly higher levels of plasma 11‐ketotestosterone (11‐KT) were observed in the 0.5‐ and 4.0‐mg T‐treated groups during the spawning season as compared to the control group. The present data suggest that both 0.5‐ and 4·0‐mg T doses stimulate testicular weight, increase numbers of spermiating males and milt volume without affecting the sperm concentrations. Plasma 11‐KT concentrations were elevated during T treatment and closely correlated with testicular development and spermiation.
