    摘要:

    2021年重庆自然博物馆联合重庆市文物考古研究院和中国科学院古脊椎动物与古人类研究所对重庆市丰都县犀牛洞遗址进行了系统有序的发掘。在该遗址出土的小哺乳动物化石中鼯鼠类化石数量较多,通过对比和鉴定,判定它们来自4属5种,分别是黄足复齿鼯鼠(Trogopterus xanthipes)、皮氏毛耳飞鼠(Belomys pearsonii)、小飞鼠(Pteromys volans)、红白鼯鼠(Petaurista alborufus)和1个鼯鼠属未定种(Petaurista sp.)。动物群组成分析结果显示:小飞鼠化石标本数量约占鼯鼠类化石总数的21.8%,皮氏毛耳飞鼠化石标本数量约占鼯鼠类化石总数的65.6%;两者在同一时期生活的鼯鼠类动物中占据绝对的优势,表明当时的栖息地生态环境适合这2个物种种群的繁荣发展。小飞鼠主要栖息于针叶林和针阔混交林,皮氏毛耳飞鼠主要栖息于亚热带阔叶林,这种栖息地差异提示距今41 000~45 000 a前,犀牛洞遗址周边至少存在阔叶林与针阔混交林。研究结果不仅完善了中国南方晚更新世哺乳动物群数据库,更为重建该时期三峡地区古生态环境格局提供了生物地层学证据。

    Abstract:

    In 2021, the Chongqing Natural History Museum, in collaboration with the Chongqing Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, conducted a systematic excavation at the Xiniudong site in Fengdu County, Chongqing. Among the small mammal assemblages recovered from this site, Pteromyinae fossils were notably abundant. Comparative morphological analyses identified these fossils as belonging to four genera and five species: Trogopterus xanthipes, Belomys pearsonii, Pteromys volans, Petaurista alborufus, and one indeterminate species of the genus Petaurista (Petaurista sp.).Faunal composition analysis shows that fossil specimens of P. volans account for approximately 21.8% of the total Pteromyinae fossils, and those of B. pearsonii account for about 65.6%. The two species were absolutely dominant among the Pteromyinae living in the same period, indicating that the habitat and ecological environment at that time were suitable for the prosperous population development of both species. The P. volans mainly inhabits coniferous forests and mixed coniferous-broadleaved forests, while B. pearsonii is mainly distributed in subtropical broad-leaved forests. This difference in habitat preference suggests that broad-leaved forests and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests at least existed around the Xiniudong site during the period 41 000~45 000 years ago. The research results not only improve the mammalian faunal database of the Late Pleistocene in southern China, but also provide important biostratigraphic evidence for reconstructing the paleoecological pattern of the Three Gorges region during this period.
