110723~0801《神州初行(上)：彩雲之南》China: Yunnan－四海游龍的塗鴉板

大約在去年(2011)六月，
接到了一通電話，是來自向高世學長：
「崇瑋啊，八月要不要和我一起去雲南和四川採集？不過必須自費喔！」
考慮了幾天之後，
覺得這樣的機會相當難得，
就答應要一起去了！
感謝老向學長的邀約，
這次的大陸之旅不但讓我開了眼界，
也可能是對我影響非常重大的一次旅程…
It’s about last June (2011),
Senior Shang asked me to go for a field work in Yunnan and Sichuan of China two months later.
After few days consideration, I’m pleased agreed to this invitation!
Thanks Shang for asked me go together this time,
this trip may impact me significantly in whole life…

在出發前，
芳神交給我一張紙條要我看看能不能順便找到這些物種幫忙採集，
由上而下分別是棘蜥屬(Acanthosaura)、樹蜥屬(Calotes)以及攀蜥屬(Japalura)。
因為芳神的研究著眼於多稜攀蜥(Japalura polygonata)的親緣地理學，
除了台灣產的黃口攀蜥(Japalura polygonata xanthostoma)以及日本琉球的其它三個亞種之外，
也必須納入一些同屬物種甚至是相近屬的物種供作外群比對。
Before departure,
God-Fang wrote me a note and asked me to help him to pick tissue samples from these species if possible,
from top to bottom, they are Genus Acanthosaura, Genus Calotes and Genus Japalura, respectively.
Due to the research God-Fang is doing: Phylogeography of Japalura polygonata, except the samples from Taiwan and Ryukyu islands of the four subspecies of Japalura polygonata, we must include some species belong to the same Genus, even some close related Genus, as outgroups.

根據Honda等人在2000年發表於Zoological Society of Japan的研究報告，
舊大陸鬣蜥科(Agamidae)內主要有五個屬和攀蜥屬相當接近。
除了上面提過的棘蜥屬和樹蜥屬，
還有冠蜥屬(Gonocephalus)：
According to the report published by Honda et al (2000) in Zoological Society of Japan,
there’s five close related genera with Japalura in Agamidae.
In addition to Acanthosaura and Calotes mentioned above,
there are still Genus Gonocephalus:

馬來蜥屬(Aphaniotis)：
Genus Aphaniotis:

以及瘰蜥屬(Phoxophrys)：
and Genus Phoxophrys:

Picture source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25872797@N02/5245141871/in/photostream

以上各屬其實不難發現，
光從外觀上就可以知道和攀蜥有一定程度的關係，
然後真是越看越覺得冠蜥屬真是有夠漂亮啊~~~
From these pictures above,
we can found that they might have a certain degree of relationship with Japalura due to the similar exterior.
By the way, Gonocephalus are so beautiful!

我這趟要去的雲南和四川剛好有攀蜥屬以及棘蜥屬和樹蜥屬，
就這樣，多背上一項任務，
出發了！
Yunnan and Sichuan just distributed by Japalura, Acanthosaura and Calotes,
okay, one more mission carried on,
let’s roll!

搭了巴士到桃園機場，
吃了漢堡王早餐，
進到候機室等候…
We arrived Taoyuan International Airport by bus,
had a Burger King breakfast,
wait for the plane…

在飛機上吃個麵，
很快就到達香港機場了，
在香港機場等候轉機前往昆明…
Had a plate of noodle,
soon we arrived Hong Kong Airport,
we were wait for the flight to Kunming here…

班機因故延誤了，
因此我們在那裡多耗了幾個鐘頭之後，
終於要登機了…
The flight was delay,
after few hours wasted, we can finally boarding…

到達昆明機場，
下車提領行李之後和饒定齊老師的學生袁思棋先生碰了面，
由他帶領我們到投宿的旅館check in，
多等了我們好幾個鐘頭真是辛苦了，
謝謝袁兄弟！
After we arrived Kunming Airport,
Mr. Yuan, one of the students of Dr. Rao,
lead us to the hotel we were going to stay these days and check in.
He spent few more hours for waiting us due to the flight delay,
thanks, Mr. Yuan!

進到房裡放好行李之後，
和老向學長外出小逛一下附近就回去就寢了…
After we put our luggage into our room,
we took a walk around the hotel, then went back for sleep…

隔天早上我們下樓到餐廳吃飯，
早餐是雲南有名的”米線”，
跟我們的米粉算是很類似的東西…
Next morning we had a breakfast in the dining hall of the hotel.

出發前往昆明動物所，
離我們的旅館算不遠…
Depart for Kunming Institute of Zoology,
it’s not so far from our hotel.

進到饒老師實驗室之後，
我第一眼就被這隻在地上亂爬的麒麟陸龜(凹甲陸龜，Manouria impressa)吸引住了！
這種在台灣不易飼養的品種應該可以很適應海拔近兩千公尺的昆明吧！
After we entered Dr. Rao’s lab,
there’s a Impressed tortoise (Manouria impressa) caught my eye!
This tortoise is hard to keep in Taiwan, but I suppose they might suitable to keep in Kunming which almost 2000 meters above sea level.

還有娃娃魚(中國大鯢，Andrias davidianus)！
這次行程的安排並不包括娃娃魚，
以後我一定要計劃一次去大陸找娃娃魚的行程，
希望可以像去日本找日本大山椒魚(Andrias japonicus)那次一樣成功！
Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus)!
Our schedule in this trip did not include Chinese giant salamander,
maybe next time I’ll plan a trip for it in China again,
hope we will find it successfully just like the trip we went for Japanese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) in Japan!

然後我們出發前往花鳥市場看看，
這百事可樂的廣告有兩個是台灣人XD
We took a bus to Flower & Bird Market.
The Pepsi's advertising has two Taiwanese XD

花鳥市場內就是賣一些動植物寵物之類的，
偶爾可以看到一些當地物種…
This market is selling some plants and animals,
sometimes we can found some local species…

再度搭上公車前往下個花鳥市場，
途中徒步路過了一段市中心，
小孩子在市中心就可以玩水，
挺有趣的！
We went to another Flower & Bird Market by bus again,
the way passing a period of downtown,
children can play water just right in the city center, pretty cool!

台灣珍珠奶茶也紅到昆明了！
Taiwan bubble tea seems also famous in Kunming!

走過一段林蔭小道…
Through a tree-lined trail…

上個廁所，
大陸這裡的公廁大多要付錢…
On a toilet, the public toilets are mostly need to pay in China…

到達了，
這個花鳥市場東西比較多樣…
We were there,
species number in this market was more than previous one…

藍尾蠑螈(Cynops cyanurus)…
Blue-tailed fire-bellied newt (Cynops cyanurus)…

染色的動物真的一點都不好看…
Stained animals are ugly, it’s dispiteous, too.

用來餵食蠑螈的紅蟲團…
The “Tubifex-ball” was for feed those newts…

這些步行蟲就不知道是要做什麼用的了…
I don’t know what’s the purpose of these carabids…

很多烏龜…
So many turtles…

八線腹鏈蛇(Amphiesma octolineata)…
Eight-lined keelback (Amphiesma octolineata)…

鋸緣箱龜(Pyxidea mouhotii)…
Keeled box turtle (Pyxidea mouhotii)…

黃頭陸龜(緬甸陸龜，Indotestudo elongeta)…
Elongated tortoise (Indotestudo elongeta)…

貴州疣螈(Tylototriton kweichowensis)…
Red-tailed knobby newt (Tylototriton kweichowensis)…

參觀的人潮挺多的…
Lots of visitors…

結束了花鳥市場的參觀，
也到了午餐時間，
就來到城中吃個有當地特色的午餐…
After we finished the visit of the Flower & Bird Market,
it’s lunch time, we found a place for lunch with local characteristics in downtown.

吃飽後我們搭著公車想去找個蜥蜴，
在路上看到了雲南省博物館以及寶島眼鏡…
When we took a bus to one place for lizards,
on the road, we saw Yunnan Provincial Museum and Formosa Optical…

我們到達中科院植物所以及昆明植物園逛逛順便找蜥蜴…
We arrived at the Institute of Botany and Kunming Botanical Garden,
took a walk and looking for lizards…

然後是黑龍潭…
Then, it’s Black Dragon Pool…

回動物所路上看到的，
黃安在那裏真的很紅XD
We saw this on the way back to the Institute of Zoology,
An Huang is really popular there…

又到了吃飯時間了，
多了一位來陪我們的是另一位饒老師的高徒：蕭瀟先生！
蕭兄弟在畢業後直接任職於昆明動物所，
是個來自武漢的青年！
Dinner time!
One other student of Dr. Rao: Mr. Xiao was stay with us together,
he work in the Institute of Zoology after he graduated from there directly,
a youth from Wuhan!

那裡的餐具在使用前幾乎都是這樣包好的，
確保衛生…
The tableware there were almost casing like this before we use,
ensure it’s sanitary…

幾道當地家常菜，
和我們一同用餐的還有兩位大哥，
是動物所雇來協助野外工作的師傅，
想必都是身懷絕技的…！
Few local dishes,
two seniors were meal together,
they are hired for field work by the Institute of Zoology,
I supposed they all with unique skills…

隔天一早起床用過早餐後，
又再度前往動物所。
昆明是個仍在開發中的城市，
大規模的建設工程隨處可見…
After the breakfast next morning,
we went to the Institute of Zoology again.
Kunming is a city still under development,
large-scale construction projects can be seen everywhere…

可愛的麒麟陸龜正在吃香蕉…
The lovely Impressed tortoise was eating a banana…

本日的行程是要檢視標本，
是老向學長這趟去大陸的主要工作之一，
我也順便請王繼山先生(也是饒老師的學生，他的工作就是管理標本)幫我找了一些鈍頭蛇的標本來看看…
The work we should do today was specimen-survey,
it’s one of the main works for him to check the Reed snakes specimens this time to China.
Also, I asked Mr. Wang (he is one of the students of Dr. Rao, too! His job is to manage those specimens.) find some specimens of Pareatids for observation…

鈍頭蛇標本…
Specimens of Pareatids…

時間差不多中午了，
我們就和王兄弟外出一起吃個飯，
是鴛鴦鍋！
然後這家店還有些活體食用蛙，
查了一下圖鑑，
應該是黑斑側褶蛙(Pelophylax nigromaculatus)…
Time for lunch again,
we went out for lunch with Wang together,
it’s double hotpot!
This restaurant kept some frogs for cook,
according to the guide book I have,
it’s Dark-spotted frog…

王兄弟，給人感覺是個非常誠懇的好人！
Mr. Wang, who giving the impression that nice and sincere!

然後因為隔天就要出發去無量山進行採集了，
這天是最後一天來到這間實驗室，
找了幾位朋友先合照一下，
有袁兄弟以及來過我們台師大做短期研究的小安！
We’ll going to Wuliangshan for field work next day,
so I asked two friends for co-photo,
it’s Mr. Yuan and Xiao-An (she had been to NTNU for short-term research)!

下午老向學長另外看了一種令他感到興趣的蛇，
是大盲蛇(Typhlops diardii)！
真的好大好可愛！
In the afternoon,
Shang checked one more interesting snake,
it’s Diard's blindsnake (Typhlops diardii)!
So big and so cute!

很快的又到了晚餐時間，
這次又輪回蕭兄弟帶我們去吃飯，
我們吃的是一條”極辣”的魚，
沒吃幾口，卻把一大瓶用來解辣的可樂喝飽了！
It’s dinner time,
Mr. Xiao took us for dinner again.
We had an extremely spicy fish,
we couldn’t finish it, but a large bottle of cola used to solve the spicy were finished quickly!

隔天，是要出發去採集的日子，
用完早餐之後到達集合地點，
就和輝師傅、王大哥以及歐陽大哥開車上路了！
The next day was the day we starting the sampling trip.
We were arrived the gathering place after breakfast,
that’s roll with Hui, Wang and Ou-Yang!

雲南的土質基本上都是磚紅色的，
應該是和雨量充足有關…
Soil in Yunnan are basically brick red,
it’s should be related to the abundant rainfall…

恐龍谷是個因為發現大量恐龍化石而聞名的地方，
改天應該要去看看！
The Dinosaur Valley is famous for the discovery of a large number of dinosaur fossils,
I'd like to be there one day!

前方道路管制，暫停通行…
Road control, suspend passage…

下交流道之後先來吃飯，
雲南的菇類料理也是非常有名，
各式各樣的子實體都看的到！
We had lunch after we left from the exit of highway,
the mushroom cuisine in Yunnan is also very famous,
we can see a wide variety of carpophores!

這位是輝洪輝師傅，
受雇於昆明動物所擔任專業野外駕駛已經幾乎三十年了，
他進動物所之後幾年饒老師才進去，以研究生的身分！
所以算起來他根本就是饒老師的老大哥了！
然後他長得很像我們的阿先老師XD
This is master Hui (Hong Hui),
employed by the Kunming Institute of Zoology as a professional field driver for almost three decades!
Few years after him, Dr. Rao entered the Institute of Zoology as a graduate student,
so he is the big brother of Dr. Rao basically!
BTW, he looks just like one of our professors: A-Xian :P

上菜囉！
Here’s the mushroom dishes!

給大綠加油，
很奇怪的是在加油站照相會被禁止…
Refueling for the Big Green,
it’s strange that it’s forbidden to take pictures in the gas station…

來到大理了！
“天龍八部”裡的城市！
We’re here to Dali!
The city of “The semi Gods and semi Devils”!

無量山屬於橫斷山脈的其中一座，
橫斷山脈是由於板塊的撞擊擠壓而形成的一系列南北走向山脈，
山高谷深，
生物多樣性相當高！
Wuliangshan belongs to the Hengduan mountains.
The Hengduan mountains are north-south direction which formed by the impact extrusion of the plate,
high mountains and deep valleys,
high biological diversity!

橫斷山脈的物種其實和台灣也相當有關連，
在中國南方，冰河期的影響造成物種往東西兩側的山區撤退，
東邊就是台灣，而西邊就是橫段山脈，
關係不可謂不密切…
Species of the Hengduan mountains are actually quite related with which in Taiwan.
In southern China, the effect of the ice age caused the animals retreated to the mountains of eastern and western sides.
The eastern side was Taiwan, and the western side was the Hengduan mountains,
a very close relationship…

然後講到無量山，
我最先想到了還是”仙女姐姐”，
天龍八部對我們的影響真的很深遠啊~
Then we talk about the Wuliangshan,
the first thing I thought was the “fairy sister”,
“The semi Gods and semi Devils” really far-reaching effects our life…
劉亦菲

到了山上，
採集工作正式開始囉！
Entered the mountain range,
sampling work officially began!

來到了山上的小村子：沙樂！
這裡的居家大門都是大鐵門，
居民以彝族為主…
Came to the mountain village: Sha-Le!
The doors of the houses are metallic gates,
Residents mainly composed by the Yi nationality…

這些短圓柱狀的東西稱作”煤藕”，
是當地人的主要燃料，
燒過之後就從黑色變成白色了…
These short cylindrical things called “coaly lotus root”,
it’s the main fuel for the locals.
The color change from black into white after burnt.

到達之後當然是先用個餐囉，
很好吃！
Of course, dinner first!
very good to eat!

出發往山路上前進，
梯田很多，
羊群也很多…
Move forward to the mountain road,
a lot of terrace, and flocks of goats…

來到了一處住在山邊的人家，
在這裡閒聊逗留到天黑…
We were arrived a family which near the hillside,
chat here until it became dark…

這包口香糖是那年(2010)年底去日本前買的，
帶去日本之後又帶去沖繩，
然後到這次的中國之旅才要把它打開，
陪我出國三次的口香糖！
I bought this pack of gum when the end of 2010 I went to Japan,
after Japan, I took it to Okinawa in the next summer,

這次終於是活的了，
真棒！
I found a climbing snake after a while of mountain-road-walking,
it’s the main target species of Shang: the Collared reed snake (Calamaria pavimentata)!
This time, it’s a living one,
Congratulations!

今晚因為這條鐵線蛇的出現，收工了(不過也真的很晚了)…
隔天早上就在附近隨便拍攝一下…
Because of the appearance of the Collared reed snake,
we finished the work and go back for sleep.
Took some pictures in the vicinity next morning we wake up…

來到這座森林的主要目標：瓦氏彎腳虎(Cyrtodactylus wayakonei)終於被我們找到了！
還一次就找到三隻，兩隻母的一隻小的！
瓦氏彎腳虎是我們進行這次採集的前一年(2010)才在越南被發表的新種，
想必饒老師一定覺得相當可惜，
不過這裡饒老師和袁兄弟還是發表了一份關於瓦氏彎腳虎的報告，
有興趣可以參考看看囉~
http://www.bioline.org.br/request?zr11099

The target species: the Cyrtodactylus bent-toed gecko (Cyrtodactylus wayakonei) was finally be found!
We found three individuals in a small area, it’s two females and one juvenile!
The Cyrtodactylus bent-toed gecko was the new species which has been published in Vietnam just one year ago (2010) before this trip,
presumably Dr. Rao must feel a pity…
However, Yuan and Dr. Rao have still publish a report about the discovery,
check this link if you are interested…
http://www.bioline.org.br/request?zr11099

石灰岩地形是彎腳虎偏好的棲息環境…

這晚結束夜間觀察後，
隔天繼續往下一站挺進。
高速公路旁舉目所及全是橡膠樹…
After we finished the field work that night,

下大雨了，該收工了，
在雲南野外觀察的最後一晚結束了…
It’s a heavy rain, time to finish our work tonight,
it was the last night we could did the field work in Yunnan…

接下來的行程就是一路開五百公里回昆明囉，
在高速公路旁賣東西還真是一絕啊…
The following schedule was back to Kunming by car with 500 km.
To sell things on the roadside of the highway was pretty crazy…

回到昆明後把行李放好，
就到昆明動物所去找饒老師碰面了，
特別感謝這幾天陪我們一起野外工作的輝大哥和歐陽大哥，
1938.8公里大進擊，
你們真是太棒了！
After we arrived Kunming and check in the hotel,
we depart for Kunming Institute of Zoology for Dr. Rao.
Special thanks to Hui and OuYang for accompany us to do the field works!
You’re great in the 1,938.8 km trip!

感謝饒老師贈書！
Thanks for giving me this book, Dr. Rao :)

當晚，
饒老師設了宴款待我們，
非常開心的一次聚餐，
也是我第一次喝酒喝到頭痛欲裂、走路走不穩...
(不過我的腦袋還是清楚的，只是比較high)
52度的雲南白酒果然不是我這種小咖可以承受的XD
非常謝謝饒老師給的一切幫助，
非常謝謝大家！
That night,
Dr. Rao set up a dinner party for us,
A very happy dinner!
It’s also my first time drink until a splitting headache and walk instability…
(but my mind was still clear, it was just high)
The 52 degrees Yunnan white wine was too strong for the weak guy like me :P
Thanks so much for all the help given by Dr. Rao,
Thanks so much for everyone!

當晚回到旅館之後我立刻就躺上床睡覺了，
頭實在是太痛啦…
隔天大早輝大哥就來接我們去搭飛機了，
輝大哥真是我此行最感謝的人！
After we back to the hotel that night,
I immediately lie down for sleep… it’s too pain in my head!
The next morning, Hui came for take us to the airport,
Hui was the man I was grateful most during the trip in Yunnan!
