The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) is the world’s largest amphibian and contains a long and distinct evolution history.It has remained nearly unchanged for millions of years and occurred widely in the watersheds of Yellow,Yangtze,and Pearl River.However,this species has experienced dramatic population declines in the past fifty years,estimated to be as much as 80％ over the last three generations due to over-exploitation.To this end,it is now listed as critically endangered.

常见的大壁虎学名为Gekko gecko gecko,广泛分布于中国南部,越南等其他东南亚国家.目前该亚种包含两个形态变异体,黑斑大壁虎和红斑大壁虎,并且他们的分布区域并不重叠.由于它们的形态特征差异明显同时又异域分布,分类学家一直被他们到底属不属于一个亚种这个问题所困扰.之前的研究显示出他们之间确实有很高的遗传变异,但是并没有给出一致的结论.这里我们用两个线粒体基因(细胞色素C 亚基I 和细胞色

本文结合中国、国际相近类群研究,综述了中国蛇类物种丰富度格局研究成果,讨论其可能的形成机制:中国蛇类物种丰富度格局在纬度、经度、海拔上都表现出多峰分布格局特点;能量假说、生境异质性假说、面积假说是中国蛇类物种丰富度格局形成机制研究中涉及较多的假说,生境异质性和面积对丰富度格局的影响还存在很大争议.为了解蛇类物种丰富度格局的形成机制,更好保护蛇类物种多样性,需要重视人类生产生活对蛇类的影响,将岛屿与

对于无尾两栖类,雄性之间的竞争结果和雌性对雄性的选择往往与雄性的个体大小有关.在某些物种,雄性对竞争对手打斗能力的估计,以及雌性对雄性质量的估计都是基于声音信号,而声音信号则被认为承载了身体大小的信息.尽管如此,已有的研究表明,雄性的鸣声结构不一定总是与体重大小相关.
雄性竞争和雌性选择是驱动性选择的两大机制;对个体适合度、基因多样性和物种形成来说,雌性选择都是决定性因素之一.然而人们对雌性如何处理从雄性获取的相关信息还知之甚少,深入研究这一过程是揭示雌性选择潜在神经机制的关键.峨眉仙琴蛙(Babina daunchina)的雄性通常在其修筑的泥洞内鸣叫,也在泥洞外鸣叫;雌性偏爱洞内鸣叫,也就是说同一雄性个体的洞内鸣叫和洞外鸣叫具有显著不同的性吸引力.
