    Abstract This study provides new constraints on the mantle transition zone (MTZ) structure under the Tian Shan orogenic belt in the context of the double‐sided subduction of the Junggar lithosphere and the Tarim lithosphere. The 410‐ and 660‐km discontinuities bordering the MTZ under the Tian Shan and its adjacent areas are mapped by stacking 68,361 receiver functions from 4,122 events recorded by 100 broadband seismic stations. Regional and large‐scale 3‐D velocity models are used to explain the effect of the laterally heterogeneous velocity anomalies. We identify a thickened MTZ of about 9.3 km under the eastern Tian Shan and the Darbut belt. This thickening indicates a lower temperature, which is correlated with the broken‐off subducted lithosphere or the delamination of the eastern Tian Shan lithosphere. We document the thinning of the MTZ caused by the depressed 410‐km discontinuity and the uplifted 660‐km discontinuity across the Tian Shan orogenic belt, Junggar Basin and Tarim Basin. This thinning corresponds to a + 100 K thermal anomaly in the MTZ, and we suggest that it may have been produced by thermal upwelling originating from the lower mantle. The slightly thinned MTZ beneath the Altai Mountains was caused by the uplift of these two discontinuities, which is related to the high‐velocity anomalies in the upper mantle and MTZ. In contrast, the thinned MTZ below the easternmost segment of the Tian Shan orogenic belt, formed by the depression of 6.5 km for the 410‐km discontinuity may indicate the presence of small‐scale mantle upwelling.

    Abstract Forests are important ecosystems for economic and social development. However, the response of tree radial growth to climate has produced ‘divergent problems’ at high latitudes under global warming. In this study, the response stability and trend of Picea schrenkiana radial growth to variability in climate factors were analyzed in the mid-latitudes of the western Tien Shan Mountains. Radial growth of P. schrenkiana was mainly limited by minimum and mean temperatures. The divergent responses of radial growth occurred in response to the minimum and mean temperatures at the beginning of the growing season (April–May) of the current year, but responses to drought occurred in July–September of the previous year. And the mean and minimum temperatures in June–September of the current year were both stable. Radial growth first increased and then decreased according to the basal area increment, with a gradual increase in temperature. Therefore, forest ecosystems in mountainous arid areas will be increasingly affected by future climate warming.

    Abstract Stocking density critically affects the growth and subsequent performance of animals in modern poultry production. This study investigated the effects of stocking density on ovarian development, ovarian maturation, and the mRNA expression of key genes in the reproductive axis during the rearing period of Shan-ma ducks. The experiments involved 180 healthy 7-wk-old Shan-ma ducks and randomly divided into low stocking density (LSD; n = 30, density = 5 birds/m²), medium stocking density (MSD; n = 60, density = 10 birds/m²) and high stocking density groups (HSD; n = 90, density = 15 birds/m²), for rearing. After examining ovarian development and measuring hormone levels in the plasma and expression levels of key regulatory genes in the reproductive axis at 19 wk of rearing, analysis of the gonad index analysis, reflecting stocking density, uncovered statistically significant differences. The gonad index of the LSD group was significantly higher than those of the MSD and HSD groups (P < 0.01), while no significant difference was observed between the MSD and HSD groups. pre-ovulatory follicles (POFs) and small yellow follicles (SYFs) development was only apparent in the LSD group, with the large white follicles (LWFs) number of this group being significantly higher than that of the MSD group (P < 0.05). The blood levels of E2 (estradiol), P4 (progesterone), and T (testosterone) were significantly higher in the LSD group than in the MSD and HSD groups (P < 0.05 or 0.01). Also, the levels of both P4 and T were significantly higher in the MSD group than in the HSD group (P < 0.01). The gene expression levels of GnRHR, FSH, AMHR, and FSHR were significantly increased in the LSD group compared to the MSD and HSD groups (P < 0.05 or 0.01), while the expression levels of GnIHR and GDF9 were significantly decreased in the LSD and MSD groups compared to the HSD group (P < 0.05 or 0.01). Steroid biosynthesis pathway genes such as StAR, CYP11A1, 3β-HSD, CYP19A1, and BMP15 were significantly downregulated at greater stocking densities (P < 0.05 or 0.01). Likewise, the protein expression of StAR, 3β-HSD, and CYP19A1 was also significantly decreased (P < 0.05 or 0.01). These results demonstrate that both medium and high stocking densities suppressed the expression of the key reproduction-promoting factors, while the expression level of the key reproductive inhibitory factors was enhanced. Therefore, rates of ovarian development and maturation could be reduced by a high stocking density leading to a delay in reproduction performance during the rearing period of Shan-ma ducks.

    Abstract Understanding the pace of erosion through space and time may provide insight into how tectonic and climatic processes conspire to drive landscape evolution. However, determining whether erosion rates in a given locality have varied with past climate change remains challenging, and the mechanisms invoked to explain variations in past erosion rates are not well understood. In this study, we evaluate past rates of erosion during the late Quaternary along the northern Qilian Shan, the range bounding the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. We measured the concentrations of cosmogenic ¹⁰Be from fluvial deposits atop 5 terraces along the Hongshuiba River and average ¹⁰Be concentrations at the time of terrace formation. We also determined terrace ages by combining 5 ¹⁰Be depth profiles and 15 OSL samples of overlying loess. Our results confirm previous dating of this terrace sequence using cosmogenic exposure ages of boulders and depth profiles in terrace gravels and indicate that terrace treads span glacial-interglacial cycles over the past ~200 ka. We exploit this exceptionally dense sampling of ¹⁰Be to evaluate differences in cosmogenic ¹⁰Be concentrations at the time of terrace formation along the Hongshuiba River. Analysis of 48 individual determinations of “inherited” ¹⁰Be concentrations reveal that fluvial sediment in terraces abandoned during the last glacial and penultimate glacial periods are 3–4 times greater than concentrations in sediment atop terraces formed during interglacial times. Paleoerosion rates within the Hongshuiba watershed appear to have been ~200 m/Myr during glacial episodes but increased to ~500–700 m/Myr during interglacial times, similar to recent erosion rates inferred from ¹⁰Be in modern sediment. These results point to likely changes in the mean residence time of sediment with the watershed that fluctuate in association with 100-ka glacial-interglacial cycles. We suggest that reductions in erosion rates associated with glacial conditions may have been driven by changes in catchment hydrology during cold and dry periods.

    Abstract Emei Shan liocichla (Liocichla omeiensis), a species endemic to China, was considered globally vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species because of its small, declining population and fragmented range. In this study, we first determined and described the complete mitochondrial genome of L. omeiensis; the circular genome of L. omeiensis is 17,830 bp in length, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 non-coding control region (D-loop). All tRNA had typical secondary structure, except for tRNASer, which lost the stem of the DHU loop. The overall base composition of the mitochondrial DNA is 29.88% A, 23.99% T, 31.50% C, and 14.62% G. The G + C content is 46.12%. A phylogenetic tree was conducted to explore the taxonomic status of L. omeiensis and showed that L. omeiensis is clustered in a clade with the genera Minla and Leiothrix birds of the family Timaliidae. This information will contribute to future phylogenetic studies of the Timaliidae birds and further conservation strategies for this species.

    Abstract In the present work we undertook the complete mitochondrial genome sequencing of a wild gon-shan chinese cattle Bos gaurus gon-shan. The total length of the mitogenome was 16,356 bp with the base composition of 33.4% for A, 27.2% for T, 26.0% for C, and 13.4% for G and an A-T (60.6%)-rich feature was detected. It harbored 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and one non-coding control region (D-loop region). The arrangement of all genes was identical to the typical mitochondrial genomes of cattle.
