封面说明：广西桂林盆地中更新世棕果蝠的生态复原图。桂林盆地猫儿山洞产出丰富的动物化石，其中小哺乳动物组合目前包含了3目9科26属30种，其生物地层年代被限定在中更新世晚期，大量东洋界森林型物种的出现指示在当时桂林盆地的古气候可能与现今类似，同样温暖湿润。猫儿山洞的棕果蝠是该种化石在中国的第二次记录。详见本期拉纳·梅赫罗斯·法扎尔等人文。（绘图：史爱娟）
Cover image: Ecological reconstruction of the fruit bat Rousettus leschenaultii in the Middle Pleistocene of the Guilin Basin. The Maoershan Cave in the Guilin Basin has yielded a substantial number of fossils, including a micromammalian assemblage that currently encompasses three orders, nine families, twenty-six genera, and thirty species. The biostratigraphic age of the assemblage has been constrained to the late Middle Pleistocene. The presence of a diverse array of Oriental forested species is indicative of a warm and humid paleoenvironment within the Gulin Basin during the late Middle Pleistocene. The recent discovery of Rousettus leschenaultii material signifies the second instance of fruit bat fossils being unearthed in China. See details in the paper by Fazal et al. (Illustrated by Shi Ai-Juan).
