The impact of Indian Ocean dipole on tropical Indian Ocean surface wave heights in ERA5 and CMIP5 models - Gangiredla Srinivas; P. G. Remya; B. Praveen Kumar; Anuradha Modi; T. M. Balakrishnan Nair (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
The present study examines the relationship between the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) significant wave height (SWH) and Indian Ocean dipole (IOD) during boreal summer season (June through August) in the latest version of European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis (ERA5) and wave simulations forced with surface winds and sea‐ice fields from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project version‐5 (CMIP5) models. The interannual variability of SWH shows a significant negative correlation with the IOD over TIO. SWH anomalies display meridional tripole pattern with significant negative (positive) anomalies over eastern equatorial Indian Ocean caused by anomalous easterlies (westerlies), and positive (negative) anomalies over southeastern TIO and the north Bay of Bengal during positive (negative) phase of IOD. The strong wave heights along the east coast of India during positive IOD and the south and southwest coast of India during negative IOD are noticed. CMIP5 models GFDL‐CM3, MRI‐CGCM3 and the multi‐model mean display considerable skill in capturing these teleconnections with substantial magnitude differences. A thorough understanding of the teleconnections between IOD and TIO wave heights is a significant prerequisite for the accurate forecast of surface waves in the Indian Ocean. Hence, this study advocates the importance evaluating the ability of models in representing the SWH and IOD interactions and its implications on Indian coastal regions in the form of inundation, coastal flooding and other vulnerabilities in a changing climate scenario.

Lipopolysaccharide Administration Alters Extracellular Vesicles in Cell Lines and Mice - Leandra B. Jones; Sanjay Kumar; Courtnee’ R. Bell; Brennetta J. Crenshaw; Mamie T. Coats; Brian Sims; Qiana L. Matthews (Current Microbiology, 2021)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a fundamental role in cell and infection biology and have the potential to act as biomarkers for novel diagnostic tools. In this study, we explored the in vitro impact of bacterial lipopolysaccharide administration on cell lines that represents a target for bacterial infection in the host. Administration of lipopolysaccharide at varying concentrations to A549 and BV-2 cell lines caused only modest changes in cell death, but EV numbers were significantly changed. After treatment with the highest concentration of lipopolysaccharide, EVs derived from A549 cells packaged significantly less interleukin-6 and lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1. EVs derived from BV-2 cells packaged significantly less tumor necrosis factor after administration of lipopolysaccharide concentrations of 0.1 µg/mL and 1 µg/mL. We also examined the impact of lipopolysaccharide administration on exosome biogenesis and cargo composition in BALB/c mice. Serum-isolated EVs from lipopolysaccharide-treated mice showed significantly increased lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 and toll-like receptor 4 levels compared with EVs from control mice. In summary, this study demonstrated that EV numbers and cargo were altered using these in vitro and in vivo models of bacterial infection.

Magnetic properties of surface sediments in Schirmacher Oasis, East Antarctica: spatial distribution and controlling factors - Anish Kumar Warrier; Joju George Sebastian; K. Amrutha; A. S. Yamuna Sali; B. S. Mahesh; Rahul Mohan (Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2021)
Purpose We investigated the magnetic properties (abundance, grain size, and mineralogy) of iron oxides present in Lake L-55 sediments, Schirmacher Oasis, East Antarctica, with an aim to understand their spatial distribution and the underlying mechanisms that control their formation and distribution. Methods Twenty-five surficial sediments retrieved from different parts of Lake L-55 were subjected to the entire range of environmental magnetic (magnetic susceptibility, anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM), isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM)) measurements (at different field strengths). Inter-parametric ratios ( χ ARM /SIRM, χ ARM / χ lf , χ ARM / χ fd , IRM 20 mT /SIRM, IRM 20 mT /ARM, S -ratio, L -ratio) provided insights into the magnetic properties (abundance, grain size, and mineralogy of iron oxides). Scanning electron microscopic-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (SEM-EDS) analysis was performed on magnetic extracts from a few sediments. Besides, organic matter (%) was also calculated for the sediment samples. Principal component analysis was performed to gain information on the presence of different components and their relative dominance. Results The iron oxides are strongly magnetic (high values of concentration-dependent parameters). The principal iron oxide is magnetite ( S -ratio > 0.90) which is coarse-grained (multi-domain (MD) and stable single-domain (SSD) grains), and there is no influence of authigenic greigite, bacterial magnetite, and anthropogenic magnetite. The mineralogy is confirmed by SEM-EDS data. The iron oxides are of different grain sizes, and their contribution is in the order of MD > SSD > SP as shown by the principal component analysis. Pedogenic iron oxide minerals seem to be present in the samples whose formation is due to the oxidation of magnetite into hematite. However, they are of SSD size and not SP, suggesting that the intensity of pedogenesis is not sufficient to form SP grains. Conclusion The iron oxide minerals are mainly terrigenous, and the biogenic activity within the lake is not sufficient to modify the ferrimagnetic minerals. Spatial distribution patterns suggest the non-uniform distribution of magnetite/titanomagnetite of varying sizes in the lake basin which is transported by both melt water streams and winds.

The global abundance of tree palms - Robert Muscarella; Thaise Emilio; Oliver L. Phillips; Simon L. Lewis; Ferry Slik; William J. Baker; Thomas L. P. Couvreur; Wolf L. Eiserhardt; Jens‐Christian Svenning; Kofi Affum‐Baffoe; Shin‐Ichiro Aiba; Everton C. de Almeida; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020)
Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily, morphologically and physiologically distinct from other trees, and these differences have important consequences for ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage) and in terms of responses to climate change. We quantified global patterns of tree palm relative abundance to help improve understanding of tropical forests and reduce uncertainty about these ecosystems under climate change. Location Tropical and subtropical moist forests. Time period Current. Major taxa studied Palms (Arecaceae). Methods We assembled a pantropical dataset of 2,548 forest plots (covering 1,191 ha) and quantified tree palm (i.e., ≥10 cm diameter at breast height) abundance relative to co‐occurring non‐palm trees. We compared the relative abundance of tree palms across biogeographical realms and tested for associations with palaeoclimate stability, current climate, edaphic conditions and metrics of forest structure. Results On average, the relative abundance of tree palms was more than five times larger between Neotropical locations and other biogeographical realms. Tree palms were absent in most locations outside the Neotropics but present in >80% of Neotropical locations. The relative abundance of tree palms was more strongly associated with local conditions (e.g., higher mean annual precipitation, lower soil fertility, shallower water table and lower plot mean wood density) than metrics of long‐term climate stability. Life‐form diversity also influenced the patterns; palm assemblages outside the Neotropics comprise many non‐tree (e.g., climbing) palms. Finally, we show that tree palms can influence estimates of above‐ground biomass, but the magnitude and direction of the effect require additional work. Conclusions Tree palms are not only quintessentially tropical, but they are also overwhelmingly Neotropical. Future work to understand the contributions of tree palms to biomass estimates and carbon cycling will be particularly crucial in Neotropical forests.

Bile acid metabolism in fish: disturbances caused by fishmeal alternatives and some mitigating effects from dietary bile inclusions - Nicholas Romano; Vikas Kumar; Gang Yang; Kimia Kajbaf; Marina B. Rubio; Ken Overturf; Andreas Brezas; Ronald Hardy (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020)
Bile is a yellow‐green liquid produced in the liver from cholesterol and stored in the gallbladder of vertebrates. Bile improves the efficacy of lipid digestion by acting as an emulsifier and is essential in activating bile salt lipase, an enzyme that has broad substrate specificity. Bile improves the absorption of lipid soluble nutrients while also facilitating the excretion of cholesterol and toxic metabolites, particularly bilirubin. Dietary fishmeal alternatives often disturb bile acid status in fish resulting in either increased excretion/decreased intestinal reabsorption and/or decreased bile acid synthesis. Saponins and high molecular mass proteins are believed to contribute to altered bile acid status, which may reduce fish productivity. This situation can worsen with increased incorporations of plant‐based proteins in aquafeeds, but also may be mitigated by processing of fishmeal alternatives as well as the dietary inclusion of some bile acids/salts. This area of research will likely increase due to the roles dietary bile acids/salts can have on protecting digestive organs and improving nutrient utilization. This, however, depends on the bile type, level and fish species. This review discusses these aspects in regard to fish nutrition to help increase the inclusion of dietary fishmeal alternatives and thus enhance aquaculture sustainability.

Sugar‐regulated susceptibility of tomato fruit to Colletotrichum and Penicillium requires differential mechanisms of pathogenicity and fruit responses - Carmit Ziv; Dilip Kumar; Noa Sela; Maxim Itkin; Sergey Malitsky; Arthur A. Schaffer; Dov B. Prusky (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Penicillium expansum cause postharvest diseases in tropical and deciduous fruit. During colonization, C. gloeosporioides and P. expansum secrete ammonia in hosts with low sugar content (LowSC) and gluconic acid in hosts with high sugar content (HighSC), respectively, as a mechanism to modulate enhanced pathogenicity. We studied the pathogens interactions with tomato lines of similar genetic background but differing in their sugar content. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides showed enhanced colonization of the LowSC line with differential expression response of 15% of its genes including enhanced relative expression of glycosyl hydrolases, glucanase and MFS‐transporter genes. Enhanced colonization of P. expansum occurred in the HighSC line, accompanied by an increase in carbohydrate metabolic processes mainly phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, and only 4% of differentially expressed genes. Gene response of the two host lines strongly differed depending on the sugar level. Limited colonization of HighSC line by C. gloeosporioides was accompanied by a marked alteration of gene expression compared the LowSC response to the same pathogen; while colonization by P. expansum resulted in a similar response of the two different hosts. We suggest that this differential pattern of fungal/host responses may be the basis for the differential of host range of both pathogens in nature.

This study presents multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF‐DFA) to describe the multifractality of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) series from 30 meteorological subdivisions of India estimated at different aggregation timescales (3, 6 and 12 months) based on long‐term monthly rainfall data sets of 1871–2016 period. The plots of fluctuation function and generalized Hurst exponents confirmed that multifractality is evident in most of the SPI series; however, it is found that its strength and persistency differ with timescale and space. The Hurst exponents of long‐term (SPI‐12) and medium‐term (SPI‐6) drought series of all subdivisions showed long‐term persistence irrespective of the climatic conditions of the region, while the short‐term droughts (SPI‐3) of six subdivisions displayed short‐term persistence. Further, the analysis by partitioning the data to four time spells: 1871–1905, 1906–1940, 1941–1975 and 1976–2016 showed that the persistency of long‐ and medium‐term drought is rather permanent. The analysis on changes in multifractal properties with respect to the climatic shift of 1976/1977 period showed that there is a clear increase in multifractal properties of all types of drought series in the recent past (post‐1976 period). This study also finds that the Hurst exponents and degree of multifractality of all types of droughts increase with increase in aggregation timescales. The multifractality of all the long‐term drought series (SPI‐12) and most of the SPI‐6 series are found to be due to correlation properties, while that of SPI‐3 is because of joint effect of correlation properties and the broadness of probability distribution.
