讨论主题（Topic）： Odd Amphibians in East Asia 

时间（Time）：      2016.8.10下午3:00-4:00（2016.8.10  3:00-4:00 PM） 

地点（Location）：  南楼321室 （Room No.321, South Building） 

　　已发现的现生滑体两栖动物，包括青蛙、蝾螈和蚓螈，共计有7500余种。它们是现代动物群中重要的组成部分。在上新世以前地球还生活着一种独特的滑体两栖动物——阿尔班螈。从中侏罗至上新世，这一类两栖动物广泛分布在欧洲和北美，但它们在亚洲的化石记录非常稀少。这次英国伦敦大学学院的Susan Evans教授将为大家介绍这一类两栖动物以及它们在东亚地区的发现。 

　　The living liss-amphibians, including frogs, salamanders and caecilians, add up to over 7500 species, as an important component of the modern fauna. Actually there was another kind of the lissamphibians living on Earth before Pliocene. They were albanerpetons. They happily lived in Europe and North American from Middle Jurassic to Pliocene. However, the fossil record in Asia is very poor. In this talk, Professor Susan Evans, from the University College London, will introduce these odd amphibians and their discovery in East Asia.
