Contrasting ecosystem CO 2 fluxes of inland and coastal wetlands: a meta‐analysis of eddy covariance data - Weizhi Lu; Jingfeng Xiao; Fang Liu; Yue Zhang; Chang'an Liu; Guanghui Lin (Global Change Biology, 2017)
Wetlands play an important role in regulating the atmospheric carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) concentrations and thus affecting the climate. However, there is still lack of quantitative evaluation of such a role across different wetland types, especially at the global scale. Here, we conducted a meta‐analysis to compare ecosystem CO 2 fluxes among various types of wetlands using a global database compiled from the literature. This database consists of 143 site‐years of eddy covariance data from 22 inland wetland and 21 coastal wetland sites across the globe. Coastal wetlands had higher annual gross primary productivity ( GPP ), ecosystem respiration ( R e ), and net ecosystem productivity ( NEP ) than inland wetlands. On a per unit area basis, coastal wetlands provided large CO 2 sinks, while inland wetlands provided small CO 2 sinks or were nearly CO 2 neutral. The annual CO 2 sink strength was 93.15 and 208.37 g C m −2 for inland and coastal wetlands, respectively. Annual CO 2 fluxes were mainly regulated by mean annual temperature ( MAT ) and mean annual precipitation ( MAP ). For coastal and inland wetlands combined, MAT and MAP explained 71%, 54%, and 57% of the variations in GPP , R e , and NEP , respectively. The CO 2 fluxes of wetlands were also related to leaf area index ( LAI ). The CO 2 fluxes also varied with water table depth ( WTD ), although the effects of WTD were not statistically significant. NEP was jointly determined by GPP and R e for both inland and coastal wetlands. However, the NEP / R e and NEP / GPP ratios exhibited little variability for inland wetlands and decreased for coastal wetlands with increasing latitude. The contrasting of CO 2 fluxes between inland and coastal wetlands globally can improve our understanding of the roles of wetlands in the global C cycle. Our results also have implications for informing wetland management and climate change policymaking, for example, the efforts being made by international organizations and enterprises to restore coastal wetlands for enhancing blue carbon sinks.

Prevalence of potential nitrogen‐fixing, green sulfur bacteria in the skeleton of reef‐building coral I sopora palifera - Shan‐Hua Yang; Sonny T. M. Lee; Chang‐Rung Huang; Ching‐Hung Tseng; Pei‐Wen Chiang; Chung‐Pin Chen; Hsing‐Ju Chen; Sen‐Lin Tang (Limnology and Oceanography, 2016)
Microbial endoliths, which inhabit interior pores of rocks, skeletons and coral, are ubiquitous in terrestrial and marine environments. In this study, various colored layers stratified the endolithic environment within the skeleton of Isopora palifera ; however, there was a distinct green‐pigmented layer in the skeleton (beneath the living coral tissue). To characterize diversity of endolithic microorganisms, 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon pyrosequencing was used to investigate bacterial communities in the green layer of eight I. palifera coral colonies retrieved from two locations on Green Island, Taiwan. The dominant bacterial group in the green layer belonged to the bacterial phylum Chlorobi, green sulfur bacteria capable of anoxygenic photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation. Specifically, bacteria of the genus Prosthecochloris were dominant in this green layer. To our knowledge, this is the first study to provide a detailed profile of endolithic bacteria in coral and to determine the prevalence of Prosthecochloris in the green layer. Based on our findings, we infer that these bacteria may have an important functional role in the coral holobiont in the nutrient‐limited coral reef ecosystem.

Did a Miocene–Pliocene island isolation sequence structure diversification of funnel web spiders in the Taiwan‐Ryukyu Archipelago? - Yong‐Chao Su; Rafe M. Brown; Yung‐Hau Chang; Chung‐Ping Lin; I‐Min Tso (Journal of Biogeography, 2016)
Aim We tested the competing hypotheses concerning the relative importance of Pleistocene versus Miocene–Pliocene geological events for the formation of endemism in an Asian archipelago using the Macrothele taiwanensis (Hexathelidae) species group. Location Taiwan‐Ryukyu Archipelago. Methods We estimated phylogenetic trees from cytochrome oxidase I subunit ( COI ) and 16S rRNA ( 16S ) gene regions and employed Bayesian ancestral range reconstructions to investigate previously debated models of lineage diversification in the Taiwan‐Ryukyu Archipelago. To evaluate alternative geological timeframes for their importance in shaping the genetic structure of funnel web spiders, we used five time calibration schemes to estimate timing of divergence, infer ancestral distributions, and to reconstruct historical demographic changes in each lineage. We tested taxonomic boundaries with two species delimitation procedures. Results Our results indicate a north‐to‐south isolation sequence of the M. taiwanensis group: the Amami lineage diverged first, then Yaeyama, and finally the Taiwanese lineages. Divergence time estimation and population demographic change analyses indicate that Pleistocene climate fluctuations minimally impacted the genetic structure of these spiders. Instead, estimated divergence events correspond to Miocene–Pliocene geological events, strongly supporting a much older timeframe for diversification. The results of species delimitation analyses coincide well with morphological differences observed among the island populations, reinforcing inferred species boundaries, and at least three potential cryptic species were statistically detected within Taiwan. Main conclusions Miocene–Pliocene geological events appear to have contributed disproportionately to diversification in the M. taiwanensis species group. The clear association between geographical area, genetic structure and statistical species delimitation strongly supports an interpretation of allopatric speciation. We advocate comparing our results with those derived from additional study organisms with similar life histories to further explore the Miocene–Pliocene diversification hypothesis.

Cytogenetic and cytometric analyses in artificial intercytotypic hybrids of the emergent orchid model species Erycina pusilla - Hsuan-Yu Yeh; Choun-Sea Lin; Song-Bin Chang (Euphytica, 2015)
Erycina pusilla is considered a potential model organism for orchids, because of several advantageous features, such as short juvenile period, low chromosome number and all year round blooming. Two different chromosome numbers (2n = 10 and 2n = 12) are reported for E. pusilla , which suggests two cytotypes. To reveal the genome homology between these two cytotypes, we generated hybrids from the intercytotypic reciprocal crosses (2n = 10 × 2n = 12 and 2n = 12 × 2n = 10), and applied 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining, genomic in situ hybridization and flow cytometry for genomic and cytogenetic analysis. The parental genomes showed high similarity both in genomic composition and content. The hybrids displayed a chromosome number of 2n = 11 in mitotic cells. Moreover, five bivalents and one univalent were observed at meiotic metaphase I stage. We observed meiotic synaptic behavior and found homeologous pairing with unpaired loops between parental chromosome pairing segments. These results demonstrated that chromosome rearrangement events have occurred between parental cytotypes during evolution. This study also illustrated the genome homology and homeologous pairing at pachytene phase, indicating that the chromosome number variation of two cytotypes mainly resulted from chromosome rearrangements, not changes in genomic constitution.

A population study of killer viruses reveals different evolutionary histories of two closely related S accharomyces sensu stricto yeasts - Shang‐Lin Chang; Jun‐Yi Leu; Tien‐Hsien Chang (Molecular Ecology, 2015)
Microbes have evolved ways of interference competition to gain advantage over their ecological competitors. The use of secreted killer toxins by yeast cells through acquiring double‐stranded RNA viruses is one such prominent example. Although the killer behaviour has been well studied in laboratory yeast strains, our knowledge regarding how killer viruses are spread and maintained in nature and how yeast cells co‐evolve with viruses remains limited. We investigated these issues using a panel of 81 yeast populations belonging to three S accharomyces sensu stricto species isolated from diverse ecological niches and geographic locations. We found that killer strains are rare among all three species. In contrast, killer toxin resistance is widespread in S accharomyces paradoxus populations, but not in S accharomyces cerevisiae or S accharomyces eubayanus populations. Genetic analyses revealed that toxin resistance in S . paradoxus is often caused by dominant alleles that have independently evolved in different populations. Molecular typing identified one M 28 and two types of M 1 killer viruses in those killer strains. We further showed that killer viruses of the same type could lead to distinct killer phenotypes under different host backgrounds, suggesting co‐evolution between the viruses and hosts in different populations. Taken together, our data suggest that killer viruses vary in their evolutionary histories even within closely related yeast species.

Temperature‐sensitive fitness cost of insecticide resistance in C hinese populations of the diamondback moth P lutella xylostella - Lin Jie Zhang; Yu Pu Jing; Xiao Hui Li; Chang Wei Li; Denis Bourguet; Gang Wu (Molecular Ecology, 2015)
Alleles conferring a higher adaptive value in one environment may have a detrimental impact on fitness in another environment. Alleles conferring resistance to pesticides and drugs provide textbook examples of this trade‐off as, in addition to conferring resistance to these molecules, they frequently decrease fitness in pesticide/drug‐free environments. We show here that resistance to chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate ( OP ), in Chinese populations of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella , is conferred by two mutations of ace1 – the gene encoding the acetylcholinesterase enzyme targeted by OP s – affecting the amino acid sequence of the corresponding protein. These mutations were always linked, consistent with the segregation of a single resistance allele, ace1R , carrying both mutations, in the populations studied. We monitored the frequency of ace1R (by genotyping more than 20 000 adults) and the level of resistance (through bioassays on more than 50 000 individuals) over several generations. We found that the ace1R resistance allele was costly in the absence of insecticide and that this cost was likely recessive. This fitness costs involved a decrease in fecundity: females from resistant strains laid 20% fewer eggs, on average, than females from susceptible strains. Finally, we found that the fitness costs associated with the ace1R allele were greater at high temperatures. At least two life history traits were involved: longevity and fecundity. The relative longevity of resistant individuals was affected only at high temperatures and the relative fecundity of resistant females – which was already affected at temperatures optimal for development – decreased further at high temperatures. The implications of these findings for resistance management are discussed.

Development of a selective and differential medium for capsulated L actococcus garvieae - C‐I Chang; C‐F Lee; J‐M Tsai; C‐C Wu; L‐H Chen; S‐C Chen; K‐J Lin (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2014)
A selective and differential medium termed ‘ LG agar’ was developed for the isolation and presumptive identification of L actococcus garvieae that results in black colonies with red halos. In this study, all 14 strains of L . garvieae and only 9 of the 148 strains representing 38 other species were able to grow on the LG agar. The nine viable strains on LG agar plates (including E nterococcus faecalis , E nterococcus faecium , L actococcus lactis , V ibrio fluvialis , V ibrio furnissii , V ibrio mimicus and V ibrio salmonicida ) were further differentiated from L . garvieae by various colours or colony features. Colonies isolated from the mixing culture and the infected giant sea perch using LG agar plates were all positively identified as L . garvieae by conventional tests and 16 S r DNA sequencing. Furthermore, LG agar discriminated capsulated strains of L . garvieae , which were believed to be correlated with pathogens of fish and shellfish, from non‐capsulated ones by colony appearances. The specificity and differentiating ability of LG agar suggest that this medium displays considerable potential for primary isolation and presumptive identification of L . garvieae from pathological and environmental samples.
