The results showed that there were 41 families, 99 genera and 164 species of seed plants. The top families distribution types were cosmopolitan and north temperate ones, while the main genera distribution types were north temperate and cosmopolitan ones, and the proportion of the temperate ones was higher than the tropic ones, which showed that the north temperate elements were dominant in floristic composition. In this area, the species were lack, and herbaceous plants had a distinct advantage, showing a characteristic of the vegetation.展开更多

Barnes's reputation as a writer was made when her second novel Nightwood was published in 1936 with an enthusiastic introduction by T.S. Eliot. Grounded mainly on queer theory, this paper analyzes Nightwood with its focus on the breakdown of the only two heterosexual marriages of the novel and intends to demonstrate that one of many aspects of the novel reflect the very core of queer theory.展开更多

At the same time, however, this essay emphasizes that in ＂The Loner,＂ as elsewhere, accounting for the ＂heterosexual imperative＂ of early zoology （e.g., with its emphases on animal husbandry, propagation, reproduction） can have meaningful consequences for ＂queering＂ interpretations of received texts from literature, history of science, and beyond.展开更多
