摘要
尽管台湾的研究传统悠久,但由于新兴的技术和创新的方法,台湾的研究潜力很大。另一方面,DNA测序技术的突破已经彻底改变了我们的生活,古生物学家也可以从跨学科的合作中受益,通过调查现存的姐妹物种来阐明化石物种的系统发生和发展。此外,多年来台湾还收集和积累了未经研究的新化石。对过去动物群时空动态的更高分辨率的新研究提供了对过去生物多样性模式的见解。在本期特刊中,一种来自台湾的新木化石正式命名。台湾发现最古老的珊瑚化石。新记录了迈Sinaechinocyamus (Wang, 1984)化石。活沙棘的系统基因组学;本文讨论了棘总科(echino总科)的转录组特征,其中包括麦氏球菌。台湾首个棘足类化石scapechinus mirabilis A. Agassiz, 1864的立体显微结构。基于地标分析,可以在一般水平上区分不完整的锁孔砂块。莫比计学提供了一种新的方法来解释在远亲沙美元谱系中独立获得的圆形轮廓。本文首次记录了台湾原位埋藏的非钻孔型双壳类化石。
Introduction to the special issue on New advances on stratigraphy and paleontology in Taiwan
Despite the long tradition of studies, there are excellent potentials for research in Taiwan due to emerging techniques and innovative approaches. On the other hand, breakthroughs in DNA sequencing technology have revolutionized our life, and paleontologists can also benefit from the interdisciplinary cooperation to shed light on the phylogeny and development of fossil species through investigating extant sister species. Moreover, unstudied new fossils have been collected and accumulated over the years in Taiwan. New studies attaining higher resolution on the spatiotemporal dynamics of past faunas have provided insights into past biodiversity patterns. In this special issue, a new fossil wood from Taiwan is officially named. The oldest known fossil coral from Taiwan is reported. New fossil records of Sinaechinocyamus mai (Wang, 1984) are documented. Phylogenomics of living sand dollars (Echinodermata; Echinoidea) based on transcriptome with the inclusion of S. mai is discussed. Stereomic microstructures of the first Taiwan fossil echinoid Scaphechinus mirabilis A. Agassiz, 1864 are illustrated. Incomplete keyholed sand dollars can be distinguished at the generic level based on landmark analyses. Mophometrics provides a new approach to explain the circular outlines were achieved independently in distantly related lineages of sand dollars. Non-boring type fossil bivalves buried in situ from Taiwan is documented here for the first time.
期刊介绍:
The major publication of the Chinese Geoscience Union (located in Taipei) since 1990, the journal of Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (TAO) publishes bi-monthly scientific research articles, notes, correspondences and reviews in all disciplines of the Earth sciences. It is the amalgamation of the following journals:
Papers in Meteorological Research (published by the Meteorological Society of the ROC) since Vol. 12, No. 2
Bulletin of Geophysics (published by the Institute of Geophysics, National Central University) since No. 27
Acta Oceanographica Taiwanica (published by the Institute of Oceanography, National Taiwan University) since Vol. 42.
