Integrated Global Estimation of Terrestrial Carbon Efflux - Yves Uwiragiye; Jing Wang; Yuanyuan Huang; Yuanyuan Huang; Yinfei Qian; Ahmed S. Elrys; Yi Cheng; Jianbin Zhou; Zucong Cai; Minggang Xu; Scott X. Chang; Christoph Müller (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Carbon efflux (C efflux ) makes up 20% of total greenhouse gases emitted globally. Accurate global C efflux is critical for projecting and responding to future global warming. However, current C efflux estimates remain incomplete due to the omission of C efflux released from the dissolution of inorganic carbon in calcareous soils (C efflux‐calcareous ) and dissolution of lime in acidic soils (C efflux‐acidic ). Here, we present a global terrestrial C efflux that incorporates C efflux‐calcareous , C efflux‐acidic , and soil respiration. Using 7562 field measurements from 2481 publications and machine learning, this study revealed that C efflux‐acidic and C efflux‐calcareous contributed 0.29% and 0.09%, respectively, to an overall C efflux of 96.52 Pg C year −1 (95% confidence interval, 91.2–101.9 Pg C year −1 ). Previous estimates of C efflux from soil respiration underestimated 0.4% of C efflux . Structural equation modelling (SEM) revealed that C efflux was directly driven by heterotrophic respiration, autotrophic respiration, dissolution of soil inorganic carbon and liming, while being regulated indirectly by land productivity (gross primary productivity, roots and litter), soil properties (soil acidity and soil inorganic carbon content), and anthropogenic activities (nitrogen fertiliser application). Soil acidification must be viewed as a dual challenge impacting both crop yields and global warming threats. Therefore, the study emphasises the need to incorporate neutralising soil acidity into soil carbon dynamics models, which was previously overlooked.

Volumetric Path Planning and Visualization for ROV-Based Forward-Looking Sonar Scanning of 3D Water Areas - Yu-Cheng Chou; Wei-Shan Chang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) equipped with multibeam forward-looking sonar are widely used for underwater object search in environments where visibility is limited. Ensuring complete three-dimensional (3D) scan coverage within a bounded mission duration remains a challenging planning problem due to sonar beam geometry and vehicle motion constraints. This study presents a deterministic, geometry-driven framework for volumetric path planning of ROV-based forward-looking sonar scanning in predefined circular and rectangular underwater volumes. The proposed approach constructs layered planar scan trajectories by explicitly incorporating sonar detection range, horizontal and vertical beamwidths, and scan volume geometry. Mission duration is analytically estimated from path length and vehicle kinematic parameters, enabling systematic comparison among multiple planning strategies. To support qualitative interpretation of scan effectiveness, a distance-based target position certainty metric is introduced and combined with the active sonar equation to estimate likely target locations within the scanned volume. Simulation results under idealized sensing and motion assumptions demonstrate that the corrected zigzag pattern for rectangular scan areas, as well as the corrected zigzag-II and corrected arithmetic spiral-III patterns for circular scan areas, achieve complete volumetric coverage with bounded mission duration and consistent localization performance. The proposed framework provides a transparent analytical baseline for evaluating volumetric scan path planning strategies for forward-looking sonar–equipped ROVs.

Breaking the antimicrobial resistance dilemma: marine natural products, a treasure trove for the development of new anti-Staphylococcus aureus drugs - Peng-Jie Li; Liu-Xia Lv; Xi-Zhen Cao; Jian-Yu Liu; Ji-Xiu Gao; Hao-Ran Li; Gulab Said; Dan Chen; Bo Yao; Xin Liu; Mei-Yan Wei; Xiao-Ping Yang; et al. (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2026)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) affects multiple fields, including medicine, pharmacy, food safety, and animal husbandry, and poses a major threat to public health and economic development. Staphylococcus aureus has emerged as one of the most critical bacterial pathogens due to its widespread prevalence and significant genetic plasticity. This review outlines currently approved small-molecule drugs for clinical use and their mechanisms in controlling bacterial infections and antimicrobial resistance, highlighting the development of novel agents as an effective strategy to combat AMR. Special emphasis is placed on the antibacterial activity of marine-derived natural products (MNPs) against S. aureus , and a systematic analysis is presented for the first time on the structures, origins, activities, and structure–activity relationships of 1,192 compounds reported in 468 publications from 1977 to 2025. Among these, 36 MNPs exhibited significant activity against both methicillin-sensitive S. aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MIC ≤ 1 µg/mL). Macrolides and peptides represented the most prevalent structural classes, with compounds displaying potent activity accounting for 24% and 27% of the total active compounds, respectively. Further drug-likeness analysis shows that MNPs have promising therapeutic potential. Among the 160 highly active MNPs, over 80% have suitable lipid-water partition coefficients, and 41% fully meet Lipinski's Rule of Five. Structural analysis reveals tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, and sugar units as the most common motifs, present in 20, 16, and 14 compounds, respectively. Technologies and strategies to accelerate the development of marine-derived antibacterial drugs are also proposed. This will serve stakeholders across diverse sectors by supporting cross-sectoral coordination to address AMR.

Cellulase Dominates Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics Under Plant Detritus Input in Forest Ecosystems - Xiuxian Men; Deping Zhai; Baoshan Huang; Chunyan Long; Minghui Wu; Yong Bao; Chang Liao; Zhiyu Yan; Xingwu Duan; Xiaoli Cheng (Ecology Letters, 2026)
Soil carbon‐degrading enzymes mediate terrestrial carbon cycling, yet their roles in driving SOC dynamics under altered plant detritus inputs lack global quantification. Using 564 observations across global forest biomes, we systematically evaluated impacts of detritus input regimes on carbon‐degrading enzymes and SOC dynamics, as well as their linkages. Double litter enhanced cellulase without affecting SOC content and ligninase activities. In contrast, all detrital removal treatments significantly suppressed cellulase activity and reduced SOC pools, with no root exerting the strongest effect. Cellulase activity was the main driver of SOC responses, modulated by forest type and experimental duration. Initially, SOC regulation differed between two forests (i.e., microbial biomass dominated in coniferous, litter inputs dominated in broad‐leaved forests), but over time (> 2 years), shifted to cellulase dominance in both forests. Collectively, our findings improve predictions of soil C dynamics under climate change and support the management of forests as effective C sinks.

Dexmedetomidine Mitigates Sevoflurane-Induced Neurodevelopmental Effects in Paediatric Anaesthesia: A Meta-Analysis and Preclinical Study - Hsuan-Chih Lao; Chia-Wei Huang; Ssu-Han Wang; Yen-Lin Su; Chien-Hui Chang; Cheng-Yen Liao; Jen-Chieh Wu; Ying-Chun Lin; Jin-Wu Tsai (Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology, 2026)
Sevoflurane (Sevo) anaesthesia in children is linked to an increased incidence of postoperative emergence agitation (EA) and potential neurotoxicity in developing brains. However, the specific risks of subanaesthetic foetal or neonatal exposure to Sevo remain unclear. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of combining dexmedetomidine (Dex) with Sevo to manage EA in paediatric anaesthesia. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials involving children under 8 years old revealed that Dex significantly reduces EA incidence when administered via intravenous, perineural, and intranasal routes. Using in utero electroporation, we found that pregnant mice exposed to 2.5% Sevo at embryonic days 14.5 and 15.5 exhibited transient neuronal migration deficits, with 25% of neurons delayed in deeper cortical layers. However, these neurons migrated to the cortex by postnatal day 8. Neonatal mice exposed to 2.5% Sevo experienced a 10% reduction in dendritic spine density in adolescence, associated with impaired somatosensory function, as assessed by the Von Frey test. Remarkably, Dex pretreatment ameliorated these pathological and functional changes. Thus, foetal or neonatal Sevo exposure can delay neuronal migration and reduce dendritic spine density. Dex co-administration effectively mitigates these adverse outcomes, supporting its potential use in paediatric anaesthesia to protect developing brains. Graphical abstract

STAT3 Signaling Mediates Agomelatine Restoration of Prefrontal Cortex Synaptic Plasticity in Chronic Social Defeat Stress Mice - Chi-Wei Lee; Han-Fang Wu; Hsin-Ju Yen; Lun-De Liao; Wei-Chang Mao; Hsun-Shuo Chang; Yih-Fung Chen; Chia-Hsien Lin; Cheng-Ta Li; Hui-Ching Lin (Molecular Neurobiology, 2026)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a major public health issue worldwide. It not only causes an increased socio-economic burden, but also negatively affects personal lives. It has been shown that depression leads to impairments in synaptic plasticity, such as impaired long-term potentiation (LTP) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). A recent study reported that administration of agomelatine, a melatonin receptor agonist and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) 2C antagonist, which may be involved in synaptic functions, for 1 week has a rapid antidepressive effect. Moreover, the mechanism of Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), regulated by signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), may play an important role in the synapse-related pathological mechanisms of depression. Hence, we used chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) as an animal model of depression, to investigate whether synaptic plasticity impairment in depression, improved by agomelatine, is mediated through the STAT3 mechanism. The results showed that depressive-like behaviors were reversed after 1 week of agomelatine treatment. Moreover, the impairment of LTP and alteration of spine density were reversed by agomelatine in the PFC. We further applied AG490, an inhibitor of STAT3, to demonstrate that the therapeutic mechanism of agomelatine improves synaptic plasticity through STAT3-regulated phosphorylation of GSK3β. Taken together, these results demonstrated that STAT3-regulated downstream molecules are potential therapeutic targets for the rapid action of antidepressants.

Biodiversity effects on ecological stability through ecosystem‐level feedback - Chun‐Wei Chang; Chih‐hao Hsieh; Maiko Kagami; Wan‐Hsuan Cheng; Takeshi Miki (Ecology, 2026)
Portfolio mechanisms are widely recognized as essential processes through which biodiversity promotes ecosystem stability. However, traditional theories often treat biodiversity as a static property, overlooking its dynamic nature, which is shaped by numerous ecosystem‐level processes identified since the 1950s. To address this gap, we develop a novel model framework grounded in island biogeography theory (IBT) to explore the ecosystem‐level mechanisms by which biodiversity and its dynamics influence ecosystem stability. This framework considers species diversity as a state variable, capturing its dynamical behavior driven by feedback mechanisms between species diversity, resource availability (nutrients), and the effects of diversity on multitrophic interactions within a plankton system. Specifically, our model demonstrates that phytoplankton diversity regulates the strength of plankton trophic interactions, which in turn alter plankton biomass and nutrient availability. These changes generate feedback loops that further reshape phytoplankton diversity itself. The presence of the feedback loops enhances the system's resistance to extinction: Increasing diversity promotes more efficient resource consumption when consumers face extinction risk, while declining diversity reduces resource consumption efficiency, thereby mitigating destabilization caused by consumer overgrazing. The critical role of species diversity dynamics in ecosystem stability is empirically supported by our analysis of a 30‐year phytoplankton dataset, which reveals a causal relationship between temporal variability in phytoplankton species richness and the stability of community biomass. Our findings unveil a new mechanism through which biodiversity influences ecosystem stability via ecosystem‐level processes, independently of population‐ or community‐level portfolio processes.

A Multicomponent OBN Time-Shift Joint Correction Method Based on P-Wave Empirical Green’s Functions - Dongxiao Jiang; Bingyu Chen; Lei Cheng; Chang Chen; Yingda Li; Yun Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
To address clock drift arising from the absence of GPS synchronization during ocean-bottom seismic observations, we propose a time-offset correction and quality-control scheme that uses the correlation of P-wave empirical Green’s functions (EGFs) as the metric, and we demonstrate its efficacy in mitigating cross-correlation asymmetry caused by azimuthal noise in shallow-water environments. The method unifies the time delays of the four components into a single objective function, estimates per-node offsets via sparse weighted least squares with component-specific weights, applies spatial second-difference smoothing to suppress high-frequency oscillations, and performs spatiotemporally constrained regularized iterative optimization initialized by the previous day’s inversion to achieve a robust solution. Tests on a real four-component ocean-bottom node (4C-OBN) hydrocarbon exploration dataset show that, after conventional linear clock-drift correction of the OBN system, the proposed method can effectively detect millisecond-scale time jumps on individual nodes; compared with traditional noise cross-correlation time-shift calibration based on surface-wave symmetry, our four-component fusion approach achieves superior robustness and accuracy. The results demonstrate a marked increase in the coherence of the four-component cross-correlations after correction, providing a reliable temporal reference for subsequent multicomponent seismic processing and quality control.

Elevated CO 2 Enhances Leaf Water Use Efficiency in Tobacco Plants ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) Under Water Deficit by Modulating Stomatal Behaviour - Fei Li; Yuanyuan Liu; Yunpu Zheng; Dongjuan Cheng; Zhijie Chang; Yinshuai Tian; Chao Ma; Guoqiang Li; Wei Dong (Irrigation and Drainage, 2025)
The frequency and intensity of drought are projected to increase globally, threatening plant growth. However, the role of elevated CO 2 (e[CO 2 ]) in plant drought recovery, particularly with respect to photosynthesis and water use efficiency (WUE), remains unclear. The study investigated the impact of e[CO 2 ] (800 μmol mol −1 ) on the gas exchange parameters, stomatal morphology and distribution, and leaf tissue structure of tobacco plants under various water levels (full irrigation [FI], mild water deficit [MI], moderate water deficit [MO] and severe water deficit [SE]) within growth chambers. The results revealed that stomatal limitations significantly reduced CO 2 assimilation under MI to MO, whereas non‐stomatal limitations became more prominent under more severe deficit. Moreover, the instantaneous water use efficiency ( WUE n ) and intrinsic water use efficiency ( WUE i ) of tobacco plants grown under e[CO 2 ] were approximately twofold greater than those of plants grown under ambient [CO 2 ] (a[CO 2 ]). Moreover, e[CO 2 ] led to distinct adjustment strategies in response to varying water availability, thereby alleviating the adverse effects of water deficit on plants. These findings indicate that e[CO 2 ] enhances leaf water use efficiency in tobacco plants by modulating stomatal behaviour and increase our understanding of the potential mechanism through which the CO 2 fertilization effect improves plant drought resistance.

Taurine alleviates endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and glycogen accumulation induced by high glucose in the muscle cells of golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) - Ming-Jian Liu; Lu-Ke Zhang; Ke-Cheng Zhu; Hua-Yang Guo; Teng-Fei Zhu; Bao-Suo Liu; Nan Zhang; Dian-Chang Zhang (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2025)
High-glucose environments induce cellular stress, particularly endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and oxidative stress, in aquatic animals. Taurine, known for its cell-protective properties, has potential in mitigating such stress. This study investigated taurine’s effects on ERS, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and glycogen accumulation in golden pompano ( Trachinotus ovatus ) muscle cells under high-glucose conditions. Cells were cultured with varying glucose concentrations and taurine supplementation. Techniques including Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, Nile Red staining, periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) staining, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to assess cell viability, lipid deposition, glycogen accumulation, and ultrastructural changes, respectively. High glucose increased the ADP/ATP ratio, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This led to glycogen accumulation via increased glycogen synthase ( gysm ) expression and decreased glycogen phosphorylase ( pygm ) expression. Taurine supplementation restored glycogen balance, reduced glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) protein levels, and alleviated ERS, as evidenced by reduced PKR-like ER kinase ( perk ) mRNA and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) protein expression. Also, taurine improved mitochondrial function, inhibiting apoptosis by reducing cytochrome C (CytC) release. In conclusion, taurine alleviated ERS, glycogen accumulation, apoptosis, and mitochondrial oxidative stress, providing new insights into taurine’s mechanisms and supporting its potential use as a feed additive in aquaculture.

Chronological evidence of microplastic accumulation and contamination onset in Central Baltic Sea sediments - Cheng Chang; Anna Augustsson; Sina Shahabi-Ghahfarokhi; Mahboubeh Rahmati-Abkenar; Sarah Josefsson; Lihui An; Marcelo Ketzer (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Microplastics (MPs) are a significant environmental concern due to their abundance, widespread occurrence, slow degradation rate, and toxicity. Although MPs have been found in various environments and organisms (including humans), few studies have investigated their historical accumulation in marine settings. Here we present the first chronological accumulation of MPs in Baltic Sea sediments over time. The high sediment accumulation rates (ca. 1 cm yr -1 ) and anoxic bottom conditions in the study area allowed for an exceptionally well-preserved record of MPs in sediment over the last 50 years. Despite potential biases and limitations associated with the methodologies (e.g., visual identification), our results suggest that MP accumulation began in the 1970s-1980s and has continued to increase until present-day, with up to 4450 particles per kg of dry sediment. The temporal distribution of MPs in sediment is consistent with local population growth in catchment areas and global plastic production rates, highlighting the impact of human activities on MP pollution in the region.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the world's leading lung disease and lacks effective and specific clinical strategies. Probiotics are increasingly used to support the improvement of the course of inflammatory diseases. In this study, we evaluated the potential of a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) combination containing Limosilactobacillus reuteri GMNL-89 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei GMNL-133 to decrease lung inflammation and emphysema in a COPD mouse model. This model was induced by intranasal stimulation with elastase and LPS for 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks of oral LAB administration. The results showed that the LAB combination decreased lung emphysema and reduced inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) in the lung tissue of COPD mice. Microbiome analysis revealed that Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia muciniphila , reduced in the gut of COPD mice, could be restored after LAB treatment. Microbial α-diversity in the lungs decreased in COPD mice but was reversed after LAB administration, which also increased the relative abundance of Candidatus arthromitus in the gut and decreased Burkholderia in the lungs. Furthermore, LAB-treated COPD mice exhibited increased levels of short-chain fatty acids, specifically acetic acid and propionic acid, in the cecum. Additionally, pulmonary emphysema and inflammation negatively correlated with C. arthromitus and Adlercreutzia levels. In conclusion, the combination of L. reuteri GMNL-89 and L. paracasei GMNL-133 demonstrates beneficial effects on pulmonary emphysema and inflammation in experimental COPD mice, correlating with changes in gut and lung microbiota, and providing a potential strategy for future adjuvant therapy.

Five novel RNA viruses of the invasive big-headed ant (Pheidole megacephala) - Charly T. Hartle; Chih-Chi Lee; Hung-Wei Hsu; Chun-Yi Lin; Kuan-Ling Liu; Joey Yin-Xin Chang; John A. Lawrence; Jia-Wei Tay; Chin-Cheng Scotty Yang (Archives of Virology, 2025)
The African big-headed ant, Pheidole megacephala , is one of the most destructive invasive ant species, posing a significant threat to native biodiversity and ecosystem function, particularly in island ecosystems. Despite recent efforts to characterize pathogens in other major invasive ants, P . megacephala has received comparatively little attention. In this study, we characterized five novel RNA viruses actively replicating in P . megacephala , which we have named Pheidole megacephala virus 1–5 (PmV1-5), and examined viral diversity and prevalence in two invasive populations in Taiwan and Hawaii. This ant possesses a unique trait of true morphological worker dimorphism (major and minor), allowing us to test whether virus prevalence differs between the major and minor worker castes. Our findings indicate that all five novel viruses were present in both populations, but viral prevalence was higher in Hawaii than in Taiwan, potentially due to differences in supercolony structure. Multiple-virus infections were common, with coinfection by PmV1 and PmV5 being the most frequent. Notably, we found no significant difference in infection patterns between major and minor workers, suggesting that virus distribution is stable within colonies and that sampling different castes does not introduce bias in pathogen detection. This study represents the first characterization of viral pathogens in P . megacephala and may contribute to the development of microbial control strategies against this globally invasive ant.

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses Provide Insights into Cryptocaryon irritans Resistance in Golden Pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) - Bo Liu; Bao-Suo Liu; Jing-Wen Yang; Hua-Yang Guo; Nan Zhang; Teng-Fei Zhu; Lin Xian; Ke-Cheng Zhu; Dian-Chang Zhang (Fishes, 2025)
Golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) is an economically important fish species along China’s southern coast. However, infections by Cryptocaryon irritans severely constrain the healthy and sustainable development of the aquaculture industry. To investigate the genetic basis of resistance to this parasite in golden pompano, this study employed transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to compare differences between susceptible (ES) and resistant (RS) groups following C. irritans challenge. Transcriptome analysis identified 2031 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between EST and RST groups, comprising 1004 up-regulated and 1027 down-regulated genes. Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment revealed that these DEGs were primarily enriched in lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism pathways. Untargeted metabolomics detected 461 significantly differentially abundant metabolites (295 up-regulated, 166 down-regulated), confirming pronounced metabolic differences between ES and RS groups, particularly in lipid and amino acid metabolism. Further, KEGG enrichment highlighted steroid hormone biosynthesis, α-linolenic acid metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism as the most significantly altered pathways upon infection. This integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic study reveals substantial differences in gene expression and metabolite profiles between susceptible and resistant golden pompano in response to C. irritans. These changes predominantly involve lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism, suggesting that these processes are critical in determining host resistance/susceptibility.
