    For the development of apiculture of China, it need to be defined the approved subspecies and geographic populations of Apis cerana F., and present the scientific data to determine the local fine breed of bees. The subspecies were studied with the morphological measurement and molecular data of Apis cerana F.. The results showed that thirteen putative subspecies names (trinomials names) of Apis cerana F. have been established in China since 1944, the trinomials (subspecies) of Apis cerana F., which published since 1970, were not valid under modern ICZN rules, 4th edition, 1999 and according to nomenclatural standing in Apis classification. The morphometric analysis of Apis cerana F. in China showed that the “Chinese Eastern race” belonging to “Apis cerana cerana” and the “South Yunnan race” being “Apis cerana indica”, the “South Yunnan race” and the “Aba race” (Aba cerana) can be discriminated. However, this analysis failed to discriminate among “South Yunnan race” (Apis cerana indica), “Hainan race” (Hainan cerana) and “Tibet race” (Tibet cerana). Molecular analyses revealed that the mitochondrial genotypes of Apis cerana F. were the same as that of all sample originated from India, Japan and Korea without variation and belonging to “Mainland Asia” group of Apis cerana. It was approved that there were abundance for mitochondrial genotypes of Apis cerana F. in Southern Gansu and Northern Aba area. It could be said certainly that in China the members of “Aba race” (Aba cerana) was existence.

    The paper aims to estimate the population size of Moschus berezovskii and clarify their geography distribution in Chongqing Jinfo Mountain National Nature Reserve, and provide a theoretical basis for the protection and restoration of M. berezovskii population resources. From April 19th to June 5th, 2017, we first learned about the possible areas of M. berezovskii through the local interviews, and then found traces of M. berezovskii through the line transect method for recording and statistics. In the survey areas (284.16 km2), there are about (95±48) M. berezovskii, mainly distributed in the mixed forest of needle-leaved trees and broad-leaved trees above 1000 m in the northern slope of Jinfo Mountain. The ecological environment of Chongqing Jinfo Mountain National Nature Reserve is suitable for M. berezovskii. However, due to the excessive catch and kill by human and the development of the nature reserve, the environment for M. berezovskii has gradually deteriorated, and the population of forest musk deer in the Nature Reserve has declined drastically. We should carry out protection work from reducing human activities in the Nature Reserve and recovering habitats of Moschus berezovskii.

    By analyzing the present situation and problems of geographical indication development in Qinghai Province and its role in agricultural economic development, this paper put forward the path and countermeasures of high-quality development of geographical indication industry in Qinghai Province, so as to promote rural industry revitalization and agricultural economic development. The number of geographical indications, regional distribution, product classification, use of geographical indications and brand promotion in Qinghai Province and the existing problems were analyzed. The correlation between the number of geographical indications and agricultural economic development in Qinghai Province from 2010 to 2019 was studied. The results showed that: (1) geographical indications in Qinghai Province were mainly concentrated in Haidong City, Haibei Prefecture and Xining City, and the products of geographical indication were mainly fruits and vegetables and breeding products; the use of geographical indication had become a new growth point for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry and the income increase of farmers and herdsmen, and the promotion of geographical indication brands had achieve certain results; (2) there were still some problems, such as insufficient attention paid by the government to geographical indication, weak brand awareness of geographical indication by producers and consumers, small number of geographical indications applying for registration, “attach importance to registration and despise use”, lack of professional talents, etc; (3) the number of geographical indications in Qinghai Province had not yet shown a positive impact on the local agricultural output value. Based on the analysis, the paper puts forward the development path of geographical indication industry in Qinghai Province: (1) strengthening overall planning and systematically promoting the development of geographical indication industry in the whole province; (2) supporting leading enterprises to create industrial clusters of geographical indication characteristics; (3) focusing on four key links and building a new pattern of closed-loop development of the entire industrial chain; (4) making excellent public services and creating a good environment for the development of geographical indication industry; (5) strengthening team building to provide talent support for the development of geographical indication industry.

    Land degradation and land use sustainability in ecologically fragile areas have attracted much attention in recent years, and it is necessary to study the eco-geographic pattern and land use ecological risk in such areas. African continent is one of the typical areas on the earth, which has ecologically fragile conditions. Based on the distribution data of temperature zone, dryness, terrain and vegetation, the eco-geographic regions in African continent were divided by using GIS software and landscape index model was introduced to give descriptions to each region. Also, the land use ecological risks in African continent were discussed at regional scale. It was found that: the eco- geographic pattern in African continent could be divided into 6 regions (northwestern mountainous region, northern desertification region, north- central transitional region, central basin region, eastern rift valley plateau region and southern plateau region), and 32 sub-regions. Spatial trend of drought (arid core area) was toward the central part of northern desertification region, north part of eastern rift valley plateau region and southwest part of southern plateau region. With increasing human land use activities, semi- arid and sub- humid arid areas around central basin region would be affected by land desertification risks, and areas with undulating terrain and abundant rainfalls would be affected by soil water erosion risks, respectively.

    The aim of this study was to analyze the genetically structural differences of different geographical domestic horses and provide some molecular biology evidences for the maternal origins and domestication of the horses. The better knowledge about it was helpful for the evaluation of the genetic resources of the horses. We investigated the complete mitochondrial Cytb sequence of 36 samples from four horse breeds, Mongolian horse, Xinihe horse, Sanhe horse and Thoroughbred by amplification and direct sequencing. Combining with all the horse Cytb sequences deposited in GenBank, a total of 219 horse Cytb sequences were collected. 86 different haplotypes with 80 polymorphic sites were revealed with the analysis of the total Cytb sequences, and the haplotype diversity and the nucleotide diversity were 0.946 and 0.00454, respectively, indicating abundant genetic diversity in domestic horses. For the first time, we analyzed the differences of horse maternal structure in different geographic areas based on Cytb sequences, by dividing the total samples into North American, West European, East European, Middle East, Central Asian and East Asian groups. It was shown that the significant differences were only observed between North American group and three Asian groups. On the one hand, it indicated that the ingression within the horses in the Eurasian continent was great; on the other hand, it supported the assertion that the domesticated horses of North America originated from Europe to some extent. Seven distinct haplogroups (A-G) were revealed in the founded Median Joining network, supporting the multiple maternal origins of the horses. Moreover, all the seven horse haplogroups were composed of horses from several different geographic regions. Besides, there was no obvious correspondence between the geographic regions, maternal structure, and maternal origins among all the domesticated horses around the world.

    Based on the research on the law of morphological characteristics variation of Xanthoceras sorbifolia seeds from different geographic provenances in Shanxi Province, this paper revealed the relationship between geographic variation and environmental factors, in order to utilize the geographic variation of population from different provenances. This paper compared the seeds traits variations of the wild adult trees from 18 geographic provenances in Shanxi Province with variance analysis, partial correlation and cluster analysis. The differences of length, width, thickness, morphological indices and 1000-grain weight of seeds from 18 geographic provenances were significant. The morphological indices above were positively correlated with annual average temperature of geographic habitat. There was an obvious law of geographic variation in morphological indices of seeds, the morphological indices decreased gradually with the increase of longitude. There was no obvious geographic and air temperature variation law of oil yielding rate. The oil yielding rate of kernel, seed and seed shell were negatively related with elevation. The oil yielding rate of seed was also affected by the annual precipitation, and it increased gradually with the increase of annual precipitation. The Xanthoceras sorbifolia seeds of 18 geographic provenances could be classified into 4 types according to the morphological characteristics and oil yielding rate using UPGMA method.
