In 2003-2004, a field investigation was made on the composition of butterfly community in the Houhe National Nature Reserve of Hubei Province, and the diversity, evenness and dominance of the community on the levels of family, genus and species in spring, summer and autumn were studied by the method of alpha-diversity. The results showed that the species richness, diversity, and dominance indices were the highest in summer, while the evenness index wasthe highest in spring. Nymphalidae was the highest in richness at the level of families, with the value of 32.

Cold stress in winter is one of the most severe abiotic stresses on plant growth and flourishing, and the selection of cold tolerant genotypes is an important strategy to ensure the safety of plant growth and development. Cyclocarya paliurus, a diclinous and versatile tree species originally in subtropical regions, has been introduced and cultivated in the warm temperate zone of China to meet the increasing market demand for its leaf yield. However, information regarding its cold tolerance remains limited.

A new freshwater goby, Rhinogobius houheensis, is described based on 40 specimens in a freshwater stream from the Houhe National Nature Reserve, Hubei Province, China. The new species can be distinguished from all its congeneric species by the following combination of characters: thee first dorsal fin rays VI, the second dorsal fin rays I/9-I/10; anal fin rays I/7-I/8; pectoral-fin rays 16-17; longitudinal scale series 37-40; transverse scales 12-14; predorsal scale series 0; and vertebrae counts 12+18=30. The first three spinous rays in the first dorsal fin are colored with two dark-blue stripes and one black spot in alive.
