Population Genetic Analysis for Stock Enhancement of Silver Sea Bream (Rhabdosargus sarba) in Taiwan - Te-Hua Hsu; Chang-Wen Huang; Hung-Tai Lee; Yi-Hsuan Kuo; Kwang-Ming Liu; Cheng-Hui Lin; Hong-Yi Gong (Fishes, 2020)
Stock enhancement is a method for replenishing depleted wild finfish populations by supplementing them with hatchery-raised fish. In Taiwan, silver sea bream (Rhabdosargus sarba) is a predominant commercial species involved in stock enhancement projects. Although management agencies conduct stock enhancement projects, there are a lot of private releases without records. Stock enhancement is performed by the private aquaculture sector without accurate genetic records, potentially leading to unintended consequences for wild populations. We analyzed the genetics of 459 wild and 701 hatchery-reared specimens from nine batches produced by various hatcheries. Wild and hatchery-reared samples could be considered two separate clades by using a set of stable and informative microsatellite markers including type I (from gene introns and 3′UTR) and type II markers (randomly picked up from genome). Type I microsatellite markers could more sensitively reflect the loss of genetic diversity more than type II markers in the domestication process. All specimens were considered native by using mtDNA COI and microsatellites. The genetic composition of the wild population is relatively simple, and the estimated low contribution rate of the hatchery stock (1.3–10.9%; 6–50/459) indicated a weak but significant genetic effect of stock enhancement. Therefore, establishing standards for the stock enhancement of silver sea bream for more effective supplementation of wild populations is imperative.

Experimental Investigation on Vortex-Induced Vibration of a Flexible Pipe under Higher Mode in an Oscillatory Flow - Haojie Ren; Mengmeng Zhang; Jingyun Cheng; Peimin Cao; Yuwang Xu; Shixiao Fu; Chang Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
Different from the previous studies of the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) dominated by first mode of flexible pipe in an oscillatory flow, the features of a higher mode dominated are experimentally investigated in the ocean basin. The flexible pipe is forced to harmonically oscillate with different combinations of a period and amplitude. The design dominant mode consists of first and second modes under the maximum reduced velocity (VR) of approximately 5.5 with a KC number ranging from 22 to 165. The VIV responses between only the excited first mode and the excited higher mode are compared and studied using displacement reconstruction and wavelet transform methods. The discrepancies of spatial and temporal response between smaller and larger KC numbers (KC = 56 and 121) are first observed. The strong alternate mode dominance and lock-in phenomena occur in the case of larger KC numbers, while they cannot be observed in the case of smaller KC numbers under higher modes. The VIV dominant frequency in the in-line (IL) direction is found to be always triple the oscillatory flow frequency and not twice that in the cross flow (CF) direction. The dominant frequency in the CF direction can be predicted by the Strouhal law, and the Strouhal number is approximately 0.18 under VR = 5.5, which is not affected by the excited mode. Moreover, differences of response motion trajectory are also revealed in this paper. The present work improves the basic understanding of vessel motion induced VIV and provides helpful references for developing prediction methods of VIV in an oscillatory flow.

Plastic pollution in croplands threatens long‐term food security - Dan Zhang; Ee Ling Ng; Wanli Hu; Hongyuan Wang; Pablo Galaviz; Hude Yang; Wentao Sun; Chongxiao Li; Xingwang Ma; Bin Fu; Peiyi Zhao; Fulin Zhang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Plastic pollution is a global concern given its prevalence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Studies have been conducted on the distribution and impact of plastic pollution in marine ecosystems, but little is known on terrestrial ecosystems. Plastic mulch has been widely used to increase crop yields worldwide, yet the impact of plastic residues in cropland soils to soil health and crop production in the long term remained unclear. In this paper, using a global meta‐analysis, we found that the use of plastic mulch can indeed increase crop yields on average by 25%–42% in the immediate season due to the increase of soil temperature (+8%) and moisture (+17%). However, the unabated accumulation of film residues in the field negatively impacts its physicochemical properties linked to healthy soil and threatens food production in the long term. It has multiple negative impacts on plant growth including crop yield (at the mean rate of −3% for every additional 100 kg/ha of film residue), plant height (−2%) and root weight (−5%), and soil properties including soil water evaporation capacity (−2%), soil water infiltration rate (−8%), soil organic matter (−0.8%) and soil available phosphorus (−5%) based on meta‐regression. Using a nationwide field survey of China, the largest user of plastic mulch worldwide, we found that plastic residue accumulation in cropland soils has reached 550,800 tonnes, with an estimated 6%–10% reduction in cotton yield in some polluted sites based on current level of plastic residue content. Immediate actions should be taken to ensure the recovery of plastic film mulch and limit further increase in film residue loading to maintain the sustainability of these croplands.

How much of Typhoon Morakot's extreme rainfall is attributable to anthropogenic climate change? - Chung‐Chieh Wang; Li‐Shan Tseng; Chien‐Chang Huang; Shih‐How Lo; Cheng‐Ta Chen; Pi‐Yu Chuang; Nan‐Chou Su; K. Tsuboki (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Typhoon Morakot (2009), which made landfall in Taiwan during August 7–9, 2009, produced the highest rainfall and became the deadliest typhoon ever recorded in Taiwan since 1958. To assess the role of anthropogenic climate change in the typhoon‐related torrent, we compare the water budget between a pair of cloud‐resolving sensitivity experiments. The pair consists of a control simulation that reproduces Typhoon Morakot (2009) in current climate and a sensitivity simulation in which the same storm is placed in a slightly different climate background where the late 20th century anthropogenic climate change signal is removed. The anthropogenic signal is estimated with the CMIP5 experiments of 18 models for the period of 1985–2005, during which the global warming trend is discernible. In climate states that differ merely by a 20‐year mean anthropogenic change, Morakot (2009) yields 3.4–3.6% more total rainfall in the control experiment than its sensitivity counterpart within a radius of 300–500 km from the storm centre. Water budget analysis indicates that the increase in typhoon rainfall is mainly resulted from the enhanced convergence of vapour flux. The enhancement is, in turn, contributed by the increased tropospheric moisture due to global warming and, to a lesser extent, by a more active secondary circulation in the storm that is associated with the anthropogenic climate change.

Effects of law enforcement and community outreach on mammal diversity in a biodiversity hotspot - Cheng Chen; Rui‐Chang Quan; Guanghong Cao; Hongpei Yang; A. Cole Burton; Michael Meitner; Jedediah F. Brodie (Conservation Biology, 2019)
Management activities such as law enforcement and community outreach are thought to affect conservation outcomes in protected areas, but their importance relative to intrinsic environmental characteristics of the parks and extrinsic human pressures surrounding the parks have not been explored. Furthermore, it is not clear which is more related to conservation outcomes—the management itself or local people's perceptions of the management. We measured objective (reports by park staff) and subjective (reports by local people) levels of community outreach and law enforcement based on responses to 374 questionnaires. We estimated mammal abundance and diversity of 6 protected areas based on data from 115 camera traps in Xishuangbanna, southwest China, a biodiversity hotspot with high hunting and land‐conversion pressures. We then examined correlations among them and found that local people's perception of law enforcement was positively related to the local abundance of 2 large, hunted species, wild boar ( Sus scrofa ) (β = 15.22) and muntjac ( Muntiacus vaginalis ) (β = 14.82), but not related to the abundance of smaller mammals or to objective levels of enforcement. The subjective frequency of outreach by park staff to local communities (β = 3.42) and park size (β = 3.28) were significantly and positively related to mammal species richness, whereas elevation, human population density, and subjective frequency of law enforcement were not. We could not conclude that community outreach and law enforcement were directly causing increased mammal abundance and diversity. Nevertheless, the patterns we detected are some of the first empirical evidence consistent with the idea that biodiversity in protected areas may be more positively and strongly related to local perceptions of the intensity of park management than to either intrinsic (e.g., elevation, park size) or extrinsic (e.g., human population density) environmental factors.

Use of bacterial subcellular components as immunostimulants in fish aquaculture - Sib Sankar Giri; Cheng Chi; Jin Woo Jun; Se Chang Park (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2018)
Aquaculture and fisheries products are expected to play a leading part in addressing the food necessities of the increasing human population. However, in intensive aquaculture, fish are exposed to stress conditions that deteriorate their immune systems, leading to increased disease vulnerability. These disease outbreaks have resulted in production losses and represent one of the key constraints in fish farming. Accordingly, aquaculture disease management efforts have concentrated on the establishment of environmental friendly and lasting methods. Recently, several studies have revealed that various bacteria (especially probiotics)‐derived cellular components might be used as promising immunostimulants in fish aquaculture. Such components curtail the risk concomitant with the use of antibiotics, chemotherapeutics, vaccines and probiotics. Among the various health advantages ascribed to bacterial cellular components, the modulation of specific and nonspecific immune responses, cytokine gene expression and anti‐pathogenic activities are most anticipated benefits. Their potential as vaccine adjuvants for fish culture has also been demonstrated. However, as an emerging practice, limited knowledge is available regarding the detailed interactions with fish immune systems. Therefore, the underlying mechanisms involved in fish immune cell activation need to be explored further. In this context, the present article aspires to review the available studies on the use of bacterial cellular components in fish culture and their biological effects on fish such as growth promotion, immunostimulation and anti‐pathogenic activities as well as to evaluate the factors that control the optimal induction of immune responses in fish. In addition, future issues that merit further investigation are suggested.

The effects of climate‐driven stressors on organismal performance and ecosystem functioning have been investigated across many systems; however, manipulative experiments generally apply stressors as constant and simultaneous treatments, rather than accurately reflecting temporal patterns in the natural environment. Here, we assessed the effects of temporal patterns of high aerial temperature and low salinity on survival of Olympia oysters ( Ostrea lurida ), a foundation species of conservation and restoration concern. As single stressors, low salinity (5 and 10 psu) and the highest air temperature (40°C) resulted in oyster mortality of 55.8, 11.3, and 23.5%, respectively. When applied on the same day, low salinity and high air temperature had synergistic negative effects that increased oyster mortality. This was true even for stressor levels that were relatively mild when applied alone (10 psu and 35°C). However, recovery times of two or four weeks between stressors eliminated the synergistic effects. Given that most natural systems threatened by climate change are subject to multiple stressors that vary in the timing of their occurrence, our results suggest that it is important to examine temporal variation of stressors in order to more accurately understand the possible biological responses to global change.

Biogeographical diversification of mainland Asian Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) and its implications for the historical dynamics of evergreen broad‐leaved forests - Xiao‐Guo Xiang; Xiang‐Cheng Mi; Hai‐Lang Zhou; Jian‐Wu Li; Shih‐Wen Chung; De‐Zhu Li; Wei‐Chang Huang; Wei‐Tao Jin; Zhen‐Yu Li; Lu‐Qi Huang; Xiao‐Hua Jin (Journal of Biogeography, 2016)
Aim Evergreen broad‐leaved forests ( EBLF s) occupy most tropical and subtropical regions of mainland Asia and exhibit high species diversity, productivity and richness. Understanding the historical dynamics of EBLF s is important for biodiversity conservation and regional carbon storage and cycling under global climate change. However, little is known about the historical dynamics of EBLF s in mainland Asia. Dendrobium , an epiphytic orchid genus found in EBLF s, was used to gain new insights of the historical establishment and extension of EBLF s in mainland Asia. Location Mainland Asia. Methods We sampled c . 80% of the currently recognized species of Dendrobium found in mainland Asia. A phylogeny was generated using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods. A calibrated chronogram was obtained using a Bayesian relaxed‐clock model approach. Biogeographical scenarios were investigated using the statistical dispersal–vicariance analysis and dispersal–extinction–cladogenesis methods. Ancestral states were constructed by mesquite and bayestraits , and diversification of Dendrobium was investigated by APE and LASER packages. Results Our results indicate that Asian Dendrobium was present on mainland Asia since the Oligocene, after which this genus diversified in this region and dispersed into higher elevations. The ancestral habit of Dendrobium was epiphytic and terrestrial and lithophytic habits each have multiple, recently independent origins. Main conclusions Our results support the hypothesis that EBLF s have been established in mainland Asia at least since the Oligocene and further suggest that the EBLF s of mainland Asia expanded into higher elevations prior to the late Cenozoic. The diversification of Asian Dendrobium coincided with a warmer climate during the late Oligocene and middle Miocene and the expansion of key groups (including Fagaceae, Lauraceae, Magnoliaceae and Theaceae) of EBLF s during the early Cenozoic.

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide-Induced Calcium Alginate Gel Combined with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Differentiating to Osteoblasts - Chang-zhi Huang; Xiao-ning Yang; Da-cheng Liu; Yi-gong Sun; Xing-ming Dai (Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2015)
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been confirmed with induction osteoblastic differentiation, but if it can make the three-dimensional culture of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to the osteoblastic differentiation, thus constructing tissue-engineered bone rare reports. To investigate the feasibility of exogenous CGRP-induced calcium alginate gel combined with ADSCs from rabbits in three-dimensional condition to construct tissue-engineered bone. ADSCs were obtained by collagenase I digestion of the subcutaneous adipose tissue of inguinal region of New Zealand rabbits. At the third passage, cells were mixed with sodium alginate to prepare calcium alginate gel, and the cells were assigned into two-group cultivates in 24 orifice plates. ADSCs in the control group were treated with DMEM/F-12 medium supplemented with 10 −2 mol/L β-glycerophosphate sodium, 10 −7 mol/L dexamethasone, 50 mg/L ascorbic acid, 0.1 % volume fraction of fetal bovine serum. ADSCs in the experimental group were incubated with the same medium as above, and in addition 1.5 µg/L CGRP was added. The cells proliferation and the mRNA expressions of collagen I and osteocalcin were detected by MTT and RT-PCR assays, respectively and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and calcium concentration at different induction time were detected. The cell proliferation curves were S shaped. The OD values of experimental group were higher than those of control group at 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21 days after osteogenic induction ( P < 0.05). ALP and alizarin red stains of ADSCs were all positive, but golden round nodes became bigger and more in the experimental group compared with the control group after 2 weeks. At 7 and 14 days, collagen I and osteocalcin mRNA expression were greater in the experimental group than the control group. ALP and calcium concentration of experimental group were higher than that of control group at 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after osteogenic induction ( P < 0.05). Thus, these results show that the CGRP-induced ADSCs combined with calcium alginate gel to osteoblasts differentiation.
