摘要

Stable oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions of modern and fossil cetacean teeth and bones were analyzed to examine if and how they reflect the diet, habitat preference and migratory patterns of modern whales and to reconstruct the oxygen isotopic compositions of ancient ocean waters in the Mio-Pliocene. In addition, as a separate project, terrestrial mammal teeth and bone samples from Yushe Basin in North China were analyzed to examine long-term changes in diets and environments of mammals in the area over the past 6-7 million years to understand the development of C4 ecosystems in North China and the effects of Tibetan uplift on regional climate and ecosystems.;The oxygen isotopic compositions of phosphate (delta18Op) in teeth and bones from 5 different modern cetacean species including sperm whale, pygmy sperm whale, short-finned pilot whale, killer whale and Cuvier's beaked whale were analyzed. The delta18Op values range from 16.7‰ to 21.3‰, averaging 19.6+/-1.0‰ (n=89), for tooth samples, and from 15.5‰ to 19.7‰, with an average of 19.0+/-0.9‰(n=47), for ear bone samples. The new delta18Op data, along with data compiled from literature, were used in conjunction with modern ocean delta 18Osw data to examine the relationships between delta18Op and delta18Osw.;Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of teeth and ear bones from 19 modern whales representing 4 different toothed whale species of the sperm whale, pygmy sperm whale, short-finned pilot whale and killer whale were analyzed. While tooth-delta13C values range from -8.2‰ to -12.7‰, averaging -10.5+/-1.2‰ (n=87), ear bone delta 13C values range from -9.9‰ to -11.8‰, averaging -10.7+/-0.6‰ (n=19). The delta13C and delta18O values are generally consistent with their known diets and habitats. Synchronous positive shifts in the delta13C chronological profiles of all teeth from short-finned pilot whales (G. macrorhynchus) from Florida might indicate a shift in diet and/or habitat from coastal areas to offshore areas and feeding on relatively high delta13C preys. Structural carbonate in bioapatite appears to be enriched in delta 13C by ~3‰ relative to collagen and by ~8‰ relative to muscles. This suggests a carbon isotopic offset of ~9‰ due to biochemical fractionation between structural carbonate in bioapatite and the diet. The delta 13C data reveal that the diet-delta13C values of killer whales were about -20--21‰, consistent with a fish-based diet. The diet-delta13C values of the sperm whale, short-finned pilot whale and pygmy sperm whale were ~ -18--19‰, in agreement with a diet consisting of both cephalopod and fish.;Stable carbon and oxygen isotope ratios of 310 enamel samples from a diverse group of herbivorous mammals including Equidae, Rhinocerotidae, Bovidae, Rodentia and Ochotonidae from Yushe Basin, North China were analyzed. The carbon isotope data show that C4 grasses have been an important component of horses' diets and of local ecosystems since ~6.5 Ma, confirming that the "late Miocene C4 expansion" occurred in North China as it did in Africa, Indian subcontinent and the Americas. This supports a global factor as a main driver of the late Miocene C4 expansion. The combined carbon and oxygen isotope data reveal major shifts in climate to drier and/or warmer conditions after ~5.8, ~4.1, ~3.3, and ~2.5 Ma, and significant shifts to relatively wetter and/or cooler conditions after ~6.4, ~5, ~3.5 Ma. The shifts to drier and/or warmer climate after ~5.8 Ma and ~2.5 Ma coincide with two major fauna turnover events. Intra-tooth delta13C and delta 18O values are negatively correlated within individual modern teeth and some fossil teeth, displaying the characteristic pattern of the summer monsoon regime and confirming the strong monsoon influence in the area since at least the early Pliocene. The data also suggest that the C4 abundance in the area has fluctuated over the past 6.5 Ma in response to changes in climate, with more C4 grasses during warmer and/or drier periods and a reduced C4 biomass at cooler and/or wetter times.
