Biogeographical divides delineated by the three‐step landforms of China and the East China Sea: Insights from the phylogeography of Kerria japonica - Dong Luo; Bo Xu; Zhi‐Min Li; Hang Sun (Journal of Biogeography, 2021)
Aim East Asia exhibits complex geomorphological and climatic characteristics. The aim of this study was to test whether the so‐called three‐step landforms of China, together with the East China Sea (ECS), have acted to shape specific phylogeographical patterns and affected the biogeographical history of the species belonging to the East Asian Flora. Location China and Japan. Taxon Kerria japonica (L.) DC. Methods Three chloroplast DNA regions and 15 nuclear microsatellite (nSSR) loci were sequenced and genotyped in 576/450 individuals of K. japonica . Phylogeographical analyses were performed to assess the genetic structure, historical gene flow and demographical history of these individuals, and climatic factors were examined to determine their effects on phylogeographical breaks. Furthermore, time‐calibrated phylogenetic trees and ancestral range reconstruction were used to infer the biogeographical history of K. japonica . Potential habitats at present and during the last glacial maximum (LGM) were identified using ecological niche modelling. Results Distinct phylogeographical breaks were found across the ECS and along the boundary of the three‐step landforms of China. Low historical gene flow and significant climatic differences were detected in each pair of adjacent regions. The results of molecular dating and ancestral range reconstruction indicated that K. japonica originated in North America during the mid‐Miocene (14.76 Ma), and intra‐specific diversification began in the late Miocene (7.78 Ma). Compared to the relatively stable distribution range of Chinese populations, Japanese populations experienced range expansion after the LGM in response to Quaternary climate change. Main conclusions Kerria japonica has a complex biogeographical history, with a mid‐Miocene origin in North America and subsequent migration into East Asia via the Bering land bridge. The onset of intra‐specific diversification was probably associated with Asian monsoon intensifications, while exposure to the ECS floor facilitated the formation of the Japanese lineage in the late Miocene. The spatiotemporal population differentiation on the Chinese mainland demonstrates the significant role of biogeographical divides delineated by the three‐step landforms of China and provides clues to understand the floristic regionalization and evolutionary history of plant diversity in East Asia, especially with respect to the Hengduan Mountains, Central China and East China.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens application to prevent biofilms in reclaimed water microirrigation systems* - Jiaxin Wen; Yang Xiao; Peng Song; Bo Sun; Tahir Muhammad; Lianghe Ma; An Waier Aosiman; Yunkai Li (Irrigation and Drainage, 2021)
Reclaimed water (RW) applied in drip irrigation systems could be a solution to cope with the challenges of limited freshwater resources. Biofilm growth in irrigation systems is an unavoidable issue when using RW. To date, strong chemical bactericides mostly dominate the commercial market in controlling biofilms. However, recently scientists have been concerned about their real efficacy and environmental risks. This study assesses a low‐concentration microbial antagonist (i.e., Bacillus amyloliquefaciens inoculums, BAI) intermittently injected into the systems to mitigate biofilm formation in three types of drip emitters using two kinds of treated RW. The results indicated that the application of BAI significantly ( p

A unique porin meditates iron‐selective transport through cyanobacterial outer membranes - Guo‐Wei Qiu; Hai‐Bo Jiang; Hagar Lis; Zheng‐Ke Li; Bin Deng; Jin‐Long Shang; Chuan‐Yu Sun; Nir Keren; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Cyanobacteria are globally important primary producers and nitrogen fixers with high iron demands. Low ambient dissolved iron concentrations in many aquatic environments mean that these organisms must maintain sufficient and selective transport of iron into the cell. However, the nature of iron transport pathways through the cyanobacterial outer membrane remains obscure. Here we present multiple lines of experimental evidence that collectively support the existence of a novel class of substrate‐selective iron porin, Slr1908, in the outer membrane of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Elemental composition analysis and short‐term iron uptake assays with mutants in Slr1908 reveal that this protein is primarily involved in inorganic iron uptake and contributes less to the accumulation of other metals. Homologues of Slr1908 are widely distributed in both freshwater and marine cyanobacteria, most notably in unicellular marine diazotrophs. Complementary experiments with a homologue of Slr1908 in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 restored the phenotype of Synechocystis knockdown mutants, showing that this siderophore producing species also possesses a porin with a similar function in Fe transport. The involvement of a substrate‐selective porins in iron uptake may allow cyanobacteria to tightly control iron flux into the cell, particularly in environments where iron concentrations fluctuate.

Improving the dynamical seasonal prediction of western Pacific warm pool sea surface temperatures using a physical–empirical model - Ping Chen; Bo Sun (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The western Pacific warm pool (WPWP) has a profound impact on the global climate. In this study, the forecast skill of ENSEMBLES model for predicting the WPWP sea surface temperature (SST) for the period 1960–2006 is evaluated, where a WPWP index (WPWPI) is defined to represent the interannual variability of WPWP SST. The result indicates that the ENSEMBLES exhibit a poor skill in predicting the WPWPI during January–April (2‐ to 5‐month forecasts starting on November 1). To improve the ENSEMBLES‐predicted WPWP SSTs during January–April, a physical–empirical (PE) model is developed based on two predictors, using the year‐to‐year increment method and the linear regression method. The two predictors include the ENSEMBLES‐predicted sea level pressure during January and the observed northern tropical Atlantic SSTs during the preceding August. The mechanisms associated with the two predictors are illuminated. The 1‐year‐out cross‐validation and the independent hindcast indicate that this PE model may notably improve the WPWPI prediction of ENSEMBLES, with a correlation coefficient (CC) above 0.6 between the PE‐model‐predicted WPWPI and the observed WPWPI during January–April. The physical mechanisms expounded in this study and the PE model utilized in this study can be considered to improve the prediction of WPWP SST of numerical models in the future.

Role of Hepcidins from Black Rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii) in Iron-Metabolic Function and Bacterial Defense - Yunqi Ma; Chang-Joo Lee; So-Sun Kim; David Nahm-Joon Kim; Bo-Hye Nam; Young-Ok Kim; Cheul-Min An; Jang-Su Park (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
Hepcidin, an antimicrobial peptide produced by the liver, also controls the iron balance and regeneration in vertebrates. Two types of hepcidin (Hamp1 and Hamp2) have been found in the bodies of black rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii). The full-length cDNA of hepcidin was cloned to enable a study of the antibacterial roles of these two hepcidins (Hamp) in black rockfish. The antimicrobial function of recombinant hepcidins was tested both in vitro and in vivo by the synthesis in Escherichia coli of recombinant hepcidin (approximately 11 kDa) from black rockfish. The recombinant hepcidins inhibited the growth of two bacterial species, Streptococcus iniae FP5228 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, at various concentrations, in vitro after 6 h post-incubation, respectively. During infection, the production of ferroportin was reduced, suggesting the preservation of iron to prevent microbial proliferation. In vivo administration of Hamp1, but not Hamp2, synthetic peptides induced a substantial reduction in the expression of ferroportin, suggesting that in black rockfish with two forms of hepcidin, ferroportin production is regulated by the iron-regulator Hamp1, and not by the dedicated antimicrobial Hamp2. The findings of this study suggest the various antimicrobial roles of these two types of hepcidin.

Summary Despite the important roles of soil microbes, especially the most diverse rare taxa in maintaining community diversity and multifunctionality, how different climate regimes alter the stability and functions of the rare microbial biosphere remains unknown. We reciprocally transplanted field soils across a latitudinal gradient to simulate climate change and sampled the soils annually after harvesting the maize over the following 6 years (from 2005 to 2011). By sequencing microbial 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicons, we found that changing climate regimes significantly altered the composition and dynamics of soil microbial communities. A continuous succession of the rare and abundant communities was observed. Rare microbial communities were more stable under changing climatic regimes, with lower variations in temporal dynamics, and higher stability and constancy of diversity. More nitrogen cycling genes were detected in the rare members than in the abundant members, including amoA , napA , nifH , nirK , nirS , norB and nrfA . Random forest analysis and receiver operating characteristics analysis showed that rare taxa may act as potential contributors to maize yield under changing climatics. The study indicates that the taxonomically and functionally diverse rare biosphere has the potential to increase functional redundancy and enhance the ability of soil communities to counteract environmental disturbances. With ongoing global climate change, exploring the succession process and functional changes of rare taxa may be important in elucidating the ecosystem stability and multifunctionality that are mediated by microbial communities.

A chemically triggered transition from conflict to cooperation in burying beetles - Bo‐Fei Chen; Mark Liu; Dustin R. Rubenstein; Syuan‐Jyun Sun; Jian‐Nan Liu; Yu‐Heng Lin; Sheng‐Feng Shen (Ecology Letters, 2020)
Although interspecific competition has long been recognised as a major driver of trait divergence and adaptive evolution, relatively little effort has focused on how it influences the evolution of intraspecific cooperation. Here we identify the mechanism by which the perceived pressure of interspecific competition influences the transition from intraspecific conflict to cooperation in a facultative cooperatively breeding species, the Asian burying beetle Nicrophorus nepalensis . We not only found that beetles are more cooperative at carcasses when blowfly maggots have begun to digest the tissue, but that this social cooperation appears to be triggered by a single chemical cue – dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) – emitted from carcasses consumed by blowflies, but not from control carcasses lacking blowflies. Our results provide experimental evidence that interspecific competition promotes the transition from intraspecific conflict to cooperation in N. nepalensis via a surprisingly simple social chemical cue that is a reliable indicator of resource competition between species.

Amplified tropical Pacific rainfall variability related to background SST warming - Ning Sun; Tianjun Zhou; Xiaolong Chen; Hirokazu Endo; Akio Kitoh; Bo Wu (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
Previous studies have found that under global warming, El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-related rainfall variability will become enhanced over the tropical central-eastern Pacific and weakened over the western Pacific. The climatological sea surface temperature (SST) warming pattern exhibits a warming center in the equatorial eastern Pacific in projections. How this pattern contributes to projected changes in ENSO-driven rainfall variability has not been fully addressed. Here, we use “time-slice” experiments to investigate the response of interannual variability in tropical Pacific rainfall in boreal winter to a warming background SST and associated physical mechanisms. A high-resolution Atmosphere General Circulation Model is driven by the detrended observational SST (1979–2003) plus a warming pattern from the coupled model under the A1B emission scenario (2075–2099). The results show that precipitation interannual variability over the tropical central-eastern Pacific will be enhanced more than the surrounding regions under warming, which is mostly contributed by a faster increase in rainfall amount during the El Niño year relative to non-El Niño years. Based on a moisture budget analysis, both the dynamic and thermodynamic components in the vertical advection of climatological specific humidity contribute to the enhancement of El Niño-induced precipitation anomalies in the tropical central-eastern Pacific where the dynamic effect is dominant. Moist static energy budget analysis further illustrates that vertical velocity is enhanced due to the increased transport of moist static energy from the lower troposphere into the middle-upper troposphere and the intensified warming effect of cloud longwave radiation caused by the increase of high cloud amount and altitude.

Dominant modes of interannual variability of extreme high‐temperature events in eastern China during summer and associated mechanisms - Baoyan Zhu; Bo Sun; Huijun Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
This study investigated the interannual variability of the frequency of extreme high‐temperature events (FEHE) during summer over eastern China and associated mechanisms. Two leading modes of interannual variability of FEHE over eastern China during summer are obtained by Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis. The first EOF (EOF1) mode of FEHE shows a diploe pattern characterized by positive (negative) anomalies in northeastern (southern) China. The second EOF (EOF2) mode of FEHE shows a monopole pattern characterized by positive anomalies in the Yangtze River valley (YRV) region. The potential mechanisms of the two leading modes are different. The EOF1 of FEHE is modulated by the EOF1 of 500‐hPa geopotential height (Z500) over Eurasia, which exhibits a Eurasian wave train associated with the air–sea interaction over the North Atlantic. Besides, anomalous SSTs over the western tropical Pacific and associated anomalous convective activity over the Maritime continent may also exert an impact on the EOF1 of FEHE via stimulating a meridional wave train, the so‐called “Pacific‐Japan/East Asia‐Pacific” teleconnection. The EOF2 of FEHE is mainly associated with the NAO mode.

Aim We tested the elevational herbivory defence hypothesis, which predicts that plants from low elevations are better defended than plants from higher elevations. Location The Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau in south‐western China—the world's highest plateau. Taxon Angiosperms. Methods We collated binary spinescence data for 10,622 angiosperm species ranging from 600 to 6,000 m a.s.l. Logistic regression was used to quantify the elevational pattern in spinescence. Because spinescence is thought to be especially effective against mammalian herbivores, we also quantified the association between spinescence and mammalian herbivore richness. Results We found a unimodal relationship between elevation and spinescence, with the highest proportion of spinescent species occurring at mid‐elevations. This unimodal relationship was present in perennial herbs, shrubs and trees, but not in annual herbs. Herbivorous mammal richness also showed a unimodal elevational pattern. A positive association between herbivorous mammal richness and the incidence of spinescent species suggests that elevational variation in herbivore pressure from mammals might drive elevational variation in spinescence. Main Conclusions Our findings further call into question the elevational herbivory defence hypothesis and shed new light on the potential causes of elevational gradients in plant diversity.

Systematic analysis of long non-coding RNA and mRNA expression changes in ApoE-deficient mice during atherosclerosis - Xiaoqian Lou; Xiaoyan Ma; Dawei Wang; Xiangjun Li; Bo Sun; Tong Zhang; Meng Qin; Liqun Ren (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2019)
Atherosclerosis plays an important role in the pathology of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and systemic vascular disease. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in most biological processes and are deregulated in many human diseases. However, the expression alteration and precise role of lncRNAs during atherosclerosis are unknown. We report here the systematic profiling of lncRNAs and mRNAs in an ApoE-deficient (ApoE − / − ) mouse model of atherosclerosis. Clariom D solutions for the mouse Affymetrix Gene Chip were employed to analyze the RNAs from control and ApoE − / − mice. The functions of the differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs and the relationships of their expression with atherosclerosis were analyzed by gene ontology, co-expression network, pathway enrichment, and lncRNA target pathway network analyses. Quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) was used to determine the expression of mRNAs and lncRNAs. A total of 2212 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified in ApoE − / − mice, including 1186 up-regulated and 1026 down-regulated lncRNAs (|FC| ≥ 1.1, p < 0.05). A total of 1190 differentially expressed mRNAs were found in the ApoE − / − mice with 384 up-regulated and 806 down-regulated (|FC| ≥ 1.1, p < 0.05). Bioinformatics analyses demonstrated extensive co-expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs and concomitant deregulation of multiple signaling pathways associated with the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. The identified differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs as well as the related signaling pathways may provide systematic information for understanding the pathogenesis and identifying biomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of atherosclerosis.

Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential in Saturated Sand under Different Drainage Boundary Conditions—An Energy Approach - Chang-Rui Yao; Bo Wang; Zhi-Qiang Liu; Hao Fan; Fang-Hao Sun; Xin-Hao Chang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
Drainage conditions are supposed to have significant influence on sand liquefaction behavior. An infiltration device was utilized in cyclic triaxial tests to reproduce different drainage conditions by altering dry density of the within silt. Permeability coefficient ratio (kp) was utilized for quantifying the drainage boundary effect. Cyclic triaxial tests were conducted on saturated Fujian standard sand samples. Test results were used to evaluate the liquefaction potential by using the energy approach. It can be concluded that, if kp increases slightly bigger than zero, excess pore water pressure (EPWP) will respond more fiercely, and the dissipated energy that triggers sand liquefaction will be less. By considering kp, an energy-based database was built by taking kp into consideration and different neural network (NN) models were constructed to predict liquefaction potential by energy approaches accurately under different drainage boundary conditions. It was suggested that the neuro-fuzzy (NF)-based NN model has more satisfactory performance.

Aim The factors driving microbial community β‐diversity (variation in composition) at different spatial scales yield fundamental insights into the mechanisms that maintain ecosystem biodiversity, which as yet are uncertain. Here, we explore whether spatial scale‐dependent patterns of β‐diversity vary between microbial functional groups and bacterial taxa (i.e., diazotrophic and bacterial communities) across local to regional scales (from metres to hundreds of kilometres). Location Eastern China. Time period October and November 2015. Major taxa studied Diazotrophic and bacterial communities. Methods We use two complementary statistical tools to unveil biotic mechanisms (i.e., species association) underlying variation in β‐diversity of diazotrophic and bacterial communities. We examined distance–decay slopes of both communities at the local (1–113 m), meso‐ (3.4–39 km) and regional (103–668 km) scales. We used an environmentally constrained checkerboard score and topological features of association networks as indices of species association. We then calculated contributions of species association, abiotic factors and geographical distance to explain community β‐diversity. The scale‐dependent distance–decay relationships were also examined in ubiquitous (high occupancy across samples) and endemic communities of diazotrophs and bacteria. Results Diazotrophs displayed steeper distance–decay slopes than bacteria, suggesting that the β‐diversity of diazotrophic communities was more variable. The distance–decay slopes were dependent on spatial scales in both communities, owing to different contributions of geographical distance, abiotic factors and species association at three spatial scales. Intriguingly, species association was greater and contributed more to community β‐diversity than other forces at the local scale, implying that species association could greatly alter community structures. Main conclusions Drivers of diazotrophic and bacterial community β‐diversity depended on spatial scales, resulting in different distance–decay patterns. Moreover, this was the first study to use two methods to demonstrate that species association played important, but as yet unrecognized, roles in driving spatial scale‐dependent β‐diversity.

Dissimilar responses of fungal and bacterial communities to soil transplantation simulating abrupt climate changes - Mengxin Zhao; Bo Sun; Linwei Wu; Feng Wang; Chongqing Wen; Mengmeng Wang; Yuting Liang; Lauren Hale; Jizhong Zhou; Yunfeng Yang (Molecular Ecology, 2019)
Both fungi and bacteria play essential roles in regulating soil carbon cycling. To predict future carbon stability, it is imperative to understand their responses to environmental changes, which is subject to large uncertainty. As current global warming is causing range shifts toward higher latitudes, we conducted three reciprocal soil transplantation experiments over large transects in 2005 to simulate abrupt climate changes. Six years after soil transplantation, fungal biomass of transplanted soils showed a general pattern of changes from donor sites to destination, which were more obvious in bare fallow soils than in maize cropped soils. Strikingly, fungal community compositions were clustered by sites, demonstrating that fungi of transplanted soils acclimatized to the destination environment. Several fungal taxa displayed sharp changes in relative abundance, including Podospora , Chaetomium , Mortierella and Phialemonium . In contrast, bacterial communities remained largely unchanged. Consistent with the important role of fungi in affecting soil carbon cycling, 8.1%–10.0% of fungal genes encoding carbon‐decomposing enzymes were significantly ( p

Summary Eutrophication and climate warming, induced by anthropogenic activities, are simultaneously occurring worldwide and jointly affecting soil carbon stability. Therefore, it is of great interest to examine whether and how they interactively affect soil microbial community, a major soil carbon driver. Here, we showed that climate warming, simulated by southward transferring Mollisol soil in agricultural ecosystems from the cold temperate climate zone (N) to warm temperate climate (C) and subtropical climate zone (S), decreased soil organic matter (SOM) by 6%–12%. In contrast, amendment with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium enhanced plant biomass by 97% and SOM by 6% at the N site, thus stimulating copiotrophic taxa but reducing oligotrophic taxa in relative abundance. However, microbial responses to nutrient amendment were overridden by soil transfer in that nutrient amendment had little effect at the C site but increased recalcitrant carbon‐degrading fungal Agaricomycetes and Microbotryomycetes taxa derived from Basidiomycota by 4‐17 folds and recalcitrant carbon‐degrading genes by 23%–40% at the S site, implying a possible priming effect. Consequently, SOM at the S site was not increased by nutrient amendment despite increased plant biomass by 108%. Collectively, we demonstrate that soil transfer to warmer regions overrides microbial responses to nutrient amendment and weakens soil carbon sequestration.

Fungal community reveals less dispersal limitation and potentially more connected network than that of bacteria in bamboo forest soils - Xian Xiao; Yuting Liang; Sai Zhou; Shunyao Zhuang; Bo Sun (Molecular Ecology, 2018)
A central aim of this microbial ecology research was to investigate the mechanisms shaping the assembly of soil microbial communities. Despite the importance of bacterial and fungal mediation of carbon cycling in forest ecosystems, knowledge concerning their distribution patterns and underlying mechanisms remains insufficient. Here, soils were sampled from six bamboo forests across the main planting area of Moso bamboo in southern China. The bacterial and fungal diversities were assessed by sequencing 16S rRNA and ITS gene amplicons, respectively, with an Illumina MiSeq. Based on structural equation modelling, dispersal limitation had strongest impact on bacterial beta diversity, while the mean annual precipitation had a smaller impact by directly or indirectly mediating the soil organic carbon density. However, only the mean annual temperature and precipitation played direct roles in fungal beta diversity. Moreover, the co‐occurrence network analyses revealed a possibly much higher network connectivity in the fungal network than in the bacteria. With less dispersal limitation, stronger environmental selection and a potentially more connected network, the fungal community had more important roles in the soil carbon metabolisms in bamboo forests. Fungal beta diversity and the clustering coefficient explained approximately 14.4% and 6.1% of the variation in the carbon metabolic profiles among sites, respectively, but that of bacteria only explained approximately 1.7% and 1.8%, respectively. This study explored soil microbial spatial patterns along with the underlying mechanisms of dispersal limitation, selection and connectivity of ecological networks, thus providing novel insights into the study of the distinct functional traits of different microbial taxa.
