上个月，Journal of Mammalogy接受了Mixed-speices groups of Przewalskis gazelle and Tibetan gazelle的文章，这个月，四川动物接受了 可可西里青藏铁路沿线的夏季鸟类多样性，这里上传摘要，待全文正式发表了再传pdf。 1、 NON-RANDOM MIXING BETWEEN GROUPS OF PRZEWALSKIS GAZELLE AND TIBETAN GAZELLE Zhongqiu Li ab , Zhigang Jiang b Guy Beauchamp c a Key Laboratory of Animal Ecology and Conservation Biology, Institute of Zoology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China b College of Life Science, Nanjing University , Nanjing , China c Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montral , St-Hyacinthe, Qubec , Canada The Przewalskis gazelle, Procapra przewalskii , and the Tibetan gazelle, P. picticaudata, are two endemic, closely related and endangered ungulates of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The two species often occur in mixed-species groups in the upper Buha River of the Plateau. We studied the composition and size of their mixed-species groups over two years to determine whether such groups aggregate by chance and to determine a posteriori potential costs and benefits associated with the formation of mixed-species groups. Sex composition and size distribution were very similar in single-species groups of each species and given that population density was also similar for the two species, we expected that if mixed-species groups formed by chance, mixed-species groups would consist of an equal mix of the two species. While this was true in male and in mixed-sex groups, the proportion of Przewalskis gazelles was much larger than expected in female groups. In addition, mixed-species groups in the winter never included males of the two species. The results thus suggest that random mixing can be rejected in these two gazelle species. Mixed-species groups were larger than single-species groups of each species in all-female, all-male and mixed-sex groups suggesting that one benefit of mixed-species groups is a reduction in predation risk associated with the formation of larger groups. We also suggest that the occurrence of mixed-sex, mixed-species groups implies a potentially non-trivial risk of crossbreeding, which would represent a cost to the formation of mixed-species groups. 2、 可可西里青藏铁路沿线的夏季鸟类 李靖 1 ，葛晨 1 ，李忠秋 1 * ，徐爱春 2 ，李言阔 3 (1 ．南京大学医药生物技术国家重点实验室，南京大学生命科学学院，南京 210093; 2 ．中国计量学院生命科学学院，杭州， 310018; 3 ．江西师范大学生命科学学院，南昌 330022) 摘要 ： 2009 年 7~8 月，我们对青藏铁路沿线格拉段青海境内尤其是可可西里保护区段的夏季鸟类进行了调查。结合历史记录，该地区共计 50 种鸟类。其中留鸟 29 种，夏候鸟 20 种，迷鸟 1 种，国家一级保护 3 种，为黑颈鹤 Grus nigricollis 、胡兀鹫 Gypaetus barbatus 、金雕 Aquila chrysaetos ；国家二级保护动物 7 种，分别为猎隼 Falco cherrug 、燕隼 F. subbuteo 、红隼 F. tinnunculus 、 游隼 F. peregrinus 、秃鹫 Aegypius monachus 、 鸢 Milvus migrans 、大鵟 Buteo hemilasius 。铁路沿线的鸟类中，优势种为棕颈雪雀 Montifringillla ruficollis 和地山雀 Pseudopodoces humilis ，分别占到发现总数量 (349 只 ) 的 23.2% 和 12.0% 。常见种包括渡鸦 Corvus corax (7.4%) 、赤麻鸭 Tadorna ferruginea (7.2%) 、白斑翅雪雀 M. nivalis (6.9%) 、棕背雪雀 M. blandfordi (6.3%) 以及斑头雁 Anser indicus (6.0%) 。
不出所料，在二修回去之后的三天后，第四篇sci文章正式接收！ Title：Vigilance in Przewalski's gazelle：effects of sex，predation risk and group size 如下接收全文！希望看到的师弟师妹们也尽快尽早多出文章，出好文章！ 14-Nov-2008 Dear Dr. Zhongqiu Li It is a pleasure to accept your manuscript entitled Vigilance in Przewalskis gazelle: effects of sex, predation risk and group size in its current form for publication in the Journal of Zoology. First proofs will be emailed to you in due course, so please keep me informed of any change to your contact details. Please find attached an Exclusive License Form, which I would be grateful if you could complete and return to: Lucinda Haines Journal of Zoology Editorial Office Zoological Society of London Regent's Park London NW1 4RY UK We look forward to receiving further manuscripts from you in the future. Best wishes Lucinda Haines Editorial Office Journal of Zoology lucinda.haines@zsl.org on behalf of Prof. Nigel Bennett Editor, Journal of Zoology 10月26日发在新浪上的内容 这两天正忙着修改投到Journal of Zoology上的一篇文章-Vigilance in Przewalski's gazelle: effects of sex, predation risk and group size。这篇文章其实在去年的这个时侯就已经成文，但由于开始抱的期望过高，先后投到Journal of Animal Ecology、Behavioral Ecology、Ethology、Behavioral Ecology and Sociolbiology等动物生态及行为学顶级期刊都分别被拒。期间由于忙着找工作、照顾家小等原因，也懒得修改。9月初黄山动物学实习后相对清闲的一段时间，稍微改了下投到了Journal of Zoology。 这里，简单的介绍下这个杂志。JOZ由创立于1826年的伦敦动物学会主办，内容涵盖了动物学的几乎所有分支学科。JOZ的影响因子不是很高，仅仅在1-2之间徘徊，但由于其100多年的历史以及较大的发行量，始终是一个著名的动物学综合期刊。最近的二三十年，伦敦动物学会更是增加了其对野生珍稀濒危动物的保护投入和研究，JOZ上发表的珍稀动物保护研究的文章比重也不断增加，关于普氏原羚研究中的几篇重要文献均发表在JOZ上。 当然，选择JOZ的另一个原因也在于JOZ审稿周期非常短。我第一次投到JOZ上的文章大概不到一周就给了意见（是退稿），第二篇是40天的时间，然后修改返回去大概10天就接收了。这篇文章是9月11日投出，10月15收到审稿意见，只是很小的改动意见，我想这次改回去应该就能接收了（自己这样认为，没准还会被拒的，呵呵）。所以对于急着毕业需要文章的人来说，这种杂志应该是首选的。 至于这篇文章的内容，倒也无需详细介绍，主要就是利用焦点取样法，研究了性别、捕食风险以及集群大小对普氏原羚警戒行为时间、频次、周期的影响，等真正发表了再说啦。
