The Effect of Food Deprivation on Foraging Behavior and Digestive and Metabolic Capacities of the Chinese Mitten Crab, Eriocheir sinensis - Qiaolin Long; Jian Liu; Yunfei Sun; Zhigang Yang; Boping Tang; Yongxu Cheng (Fishes, 2023)
Food deprivation is a common stress in crustaceans that can affect their behavior and physiology. In this study, a video recording analysis system was used to compare the predation rate and behavior of the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, foraging on the freshwater snail, Bellamya quadrata, under different degrees of food deprivation. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase, α-amylase, pepsin, and lipase in the hepatopancreas of crabs were determined after food deprivation for 0, 3, 9, and 15 days. The results showed that the predation and encounter rates of E. sinensis increased and then decreased with an increase in food deprivation time. The proportion of stationary time of E. sinensis initially decreased and then increased, whereas the proportion of searching and handling time increased initially and then decreased. There was a significant difference in the probability of capture upon encountering; however, food deprivation did not significantly affect the probability of consumption upon capture. Under food deprivation, the proportion of E. sinensis crushing tactics after nine-day food deprivation was significantly lower than that in the first nine days. Lactate dehydrogenase activity in the E. sinensis hepatopancreas after food deprivation was significantly higher than that in those not subjected to food deprivation, and the activities of α-amylase and pepsin in the hepatopancreas were consistent with the predation rate trend, showing an initial increase followed by a decrease. In conclusion, different degrees of food deprivation significantly affected the predation cycle of E. sinensis on B. quadrata. These results lay a solid foundation for further studies on the foraging behavioral ecology of E. sinensis and provide important information for improving E. sinensis production.

Numerical Simulation of the Maneuvering Motion Wake of an Underwater Vehicle in Stratified Fluid - Chang Shi; Xide Cheng; Zuyuan Liu; Kunyu Han; Penghui Liu; Long Jiang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
When a vehicle moves underwater, disturbance is generated and a wake remains that destroys the original free surface and produces a new wake. In order to study the mechanism and characteristics of the wave-making wake generated by the maneuvering motion of an underwater vehicle in density-stratified fluid, the k-ε model and the VOF method that is based on the RANS equation were used in this paper to analyze the SUBOFF model in stratified fluid at different drift angles. Numerical simulation of the maneuvering motion was carried out under these angles, and the corresponding changes in flow field caused by this motion were analyzed. The results from the comparison and analysis of the surface wave wakes under different drift angles in stratified fluid show that with the increasing drift angle, the motion wake of the vehicle still exhibits obvious Kelvin wave system characteristics. However, there are significant changes in hydrodynamic performance. The asymmetry of the surrounding flow field will increase with the increase in the drift angle. The pressure of the underwater vehicle is inversely proportional to the velocity of the surrounding flow field, and the amplitude of the peak and trough of the free surface wave is linearly related to the change in the drift angle. The numerical simulation can serve as a reference for the non-acoustic detection of the motion heading of an underwater vehicle and the motion trajectory of anti-reconnaissance underwater vehicles under actual sea conditions.

Recognition and Depth Estimation of Ships Based on Binocular Stereo Vision - Yuanzhou Zheng; Peng Liu; Long Qian; Shiquan Qin; Xinyu Liu; Yong Ma; Ganjun Cheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
To improve the navigation safety of inland river ships and enrich the methods of environmental perception, this paper studies the recognition and depth estimation of inland river ships based on binocular stereo vision (BSV). In the stage of ship recognition, considering the computational pressure brought by the huge network parameters of the classic YOLOv4 model, the MobileNetV1 network was proposed as the feature extraction module of the YOLOv4 model. The results indicate that the mAP value of the MobileNetV1-YOLOv4 model reaches 89.25%, the weight size of the backbone network was only 47.6 M, which greatly reduced the amount of computation while ensuring the recognition accuracy. In the stage of depth estimation, this paper proposes a feature point detection and matching algorithm based on the ORB algorithm at sub-pixel level, that is, firstly, the FSRCNN algorithm was used to perform super-resolution reconstruction of the original image, to further increase the density of image feature points and detection accuracy, which was more conducive to the calculation of the image parallax value. The ships’ depth estimation results indicate that when the distance to the target is about 300 m, the depth estimation error is less than 3%, which meets the depth estimation needs of inland ships. The ship target recognition and depth estimation technology based on BSV proposed in this paper makes up for the shortcomings of the existing environmental perception methods, improves the navigation safety of ships to a certain extent, and greatly promotes the development of intelligent ships in the future.

Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disability-free survival outcome was defined as absence of dementia, persistent disability or death. Selection of potential predictors from amongst 25 biomedical, psychosocial and lifestyle variables including recognized geriatric risk factors, utilizing a machine-learning approach. Separate models were developed for men and women. The selected predictors were evaluated in a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model and validated internally by bootstrapping. We included 19,114 Australian and US participants aged ≥65 years (median 74 years, IQR 71.6–77.7). Common predictors of a worse prognosis in both sexes included higher age, lower Modified Mini-Mental State Examination score, lower gait speed, lower grip strength and abnormal (low or elevated) body mass index. Additional risk factors for men included current smoking, and abnormal eGFR. In women, diabetes and depression were additional predictors. The biased-corrected areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the final prognostic models at 5 years were 0.72 for men and 0.75 for women. Final models showed good calibration between the observed and predicted risks. We developed a prediction model in which age, cognitive function and gait speed were the strongest predictors of disability-free survival in healthy older people.

The Effects of Ground and Treadmill Running on Energy Metabolism and Muscle Contractile Properties: A Randomized Cross-Over Study - Yuan Zhou; Jian-gang Chen; Xiao-long Li; Xin-liang Pan; Yi-zheng Zhou; Zheng-ao Li; Zhi-cheng Liang; Jia-min Long; Ming-ze Qin; Jing Zhang; Bing Shi; Bing-jun Wan; et al. (Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise, 2022)
Purpose This study aimed to compare the effects of ground and treadmill running on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties, providing a basis for the general public to choose running venues. Methods Ten male college students (age, 20.10 ± 1.53 years; height, 176.20 ± 5.49 cm; weight, 72.14 ± 8.25 kg; body fat percent, 12.41% ± 4.65%) were recruited in this study. Energy expenditure (EE) was measured using the accelerometer (GT9X) combined with specific estimation equations. Average heart rate (HR) was measured using a heart rate band (Polar). Muscle contractile properties were assessed by measuring muscle displacement (Dm) and contraction velocity (Vc) using tensiomyography (TMG-S1). Blood glucose (Glu) and lactate (Lac) were measured by portable devices (eB-G and Lactate Scout). The running speed was 9 km/h and the duration was 25 min. Two-way ANOVA (protocol × time) was used to analyze the effect of running protocols on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties. Results EE of treadmill running was significantly higher than EE of ground running (protocol main effect, P < 0.001), and HR of treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running in the first testing time (protocol simple effect, P = 0.026; protocol × time interaction P = 0.043). The decrease in Dm of the rectus femoris after treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running (protocol main effect, P = 0.009). The interaction of different running protocols and testing times on Lac was significant ( P = 0.025), but all results of the simple effects analysis were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Our study found a difference in energy expenditure between treadmill and ground running at 9 km/h with duration of 25 min. In addition, treadmills are more likely to cause a decrease in muscle displacement distance of the rectus femoris measured after exercise than ground running. Future studies are needed to further investigate whether the differences are induced by internal metabolism or the environmental conditions of running.

Expansion of bilin‐based red light sensors in the subaerial desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme - Hai‐Feng Xu; Guo‐Zheng Dai; Yu‐Jie Wang; Chao Cheng; Jin‐Long Shang; Ren‐Han Li; Ke Liu; Deqiang Duanmu; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Light is the crucial environmental signal for desiccation‐tolerant cyanobacteria to activate photosynthesis and prepare for desiccation at dawn. However, the photobiological characteristics of desert cyanobacteria adaptation to one of the harshest habitats on Earth remain unresolved. In this study, we surveyed the genome of a subaerial desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme and identified two phytochromes and seven cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) with one or more bilin‐binding GAF (cGMP phosphodiesterase/adenylyl cyclase/FhlA) domains. Biochemical and spectroscopic analyses of 69 purified GAF‐containing proteins from recombinant phycocyanobilin (PCB), biliverdin or phycoerythrobilin‐producing Escherichia coli indicated that nine of these proteins bind chromophores. Further investigation revealed that 11 GAFs form covalent adducts responsive to near‐UV and visible light: eight GAFs contained PCB chromophores, three GAFs contained biliverdin chromophores and one contained the PCB isomer, phycoviolobilin. Interestingly, COO91_03972 is the first‐ever reported GAF‐only CBCR capable of sensing five wavelengths of light. Bioinformatics and biochemical analyses revealed that residue P132 of COO91_03972 is essential for chromophore binding to dual‐cysteine CBCRs. Furthermore, the complement of N . flagelliforme CBCRs is enriched in red light sensors. We hypothesize that these sensors are critical for the acclimatization of N . flagelliforme to weak light environments at dawn.

Uncertainties Associated With Simulating Regional Sea Surface Height and Tides: A Case Study of the East China Seas - Long Jiang; Xinyu Lu; Wenlong Xu; Peng Yao; Xuhua Cheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Modeling sea surface height (SSH) and tides is important but challenging in shelf seas. The Eastern China Seas (ECSs) is such a shelf sea with large inter-model deviations in prior studies. In order to assess and compare the possible uncertainty sources, numerical scenarios of varying the open boundary forcing, bottom roughness length scale, atmospheric forcing, grid resolution, and regional bathymetry were conducted in a hydrodynamic model of the ECSs. Results indicate that bathymetry data and open boundary forcing with inadequate accuracy generate uncertainties in SSH and tides locally and throughout the basin. An increase in bottom roughness enhances tidal dissipation and shifts amphidromes to the left relative to the incoming Kelvin waves, causing SSH variations in the ECSs. Refining the model resolution from 4 to 2 km mainly affects nearshore SSH and tides due to minor changes in depicted coastlines. Using different reanalysis meteorological data appears more important on the episodic than annual scale. It is highlighted that some uncertainty sources have opposing effects on SSH or tides and counteract their individual biases, making it difficult to achieve a realistic simulation. For example, increasing bottom roughness can not only compensate effects of overestimated tidal amplitude at open boundaries, but also balance out the overestimated M2 phase along the West Coast of Korea in a coarser-resolution model. Based on findings in this study, suggestions are provided for further reducing uncertainties in SSH and tide modeling in the ECSs and other shelf seas.

Purpose Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been widely applied in dental and maxillofacial imaging. Several dental CBCT systems have been recently developed in order to improve the performance. This study aimed to evaluate the image quality of our prototype (YMU-DENT-P001) and compare with a commercial POYE Expert 3DS dental CBCT system (system A). Methods The Micro-CT Contrast Scale, Micro-CT Water and Micro-CT HA phantoms were used to evaluate the two CBCT systems in terms of contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), uniformity (U), distortion, and linearity in the relationship between image intensity and calcium hydroxyapatite concentration. We also fabricated a proprietary thin-wire phantom to evaluate full width at half maximum (FWHM) spatial resolution. Both CBCT systems used the same exposure protocol, and data analysis was performed in accordance with ISO standards using a proprietary image analysis platform. Results The SNR of our prototype system was nearly five times higher than that of system A (prototype: 159.85 ± 3.88; A: 35.42 ± 0.61; p < 0.05) and the CNR was three times higher (prototype: 329.39 ± 5.55; A: 100.29 ± 2.31; p < 0.05). The spatial resolution of the prototype (0.2446 mm) greatly exceeded that of system A (0.5179 mm) and image distortion was lower (prototype: 0.03 mm; system A: 0.285 mm). Little difference was observed between the two systems in terms of the linear relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and image intensity. Conclusions Within the scope of this study, our prototype YMU-DENT-P001 outperformed system A in terms of spatial resolution, SNR, CNR, and image distortion.

Differential metabolism-associated gene expression of duck pancreatic cells in response to two strains of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 - Zhen Chen; Shao-hua Shi; Yu Huang; Cui-qin Huang; Rong-chang Liu; Long-fei Cheng; Guang-hua Fu; Hong-mei Chen; Chun-he Wan; Qiu-ling Fu (Archives of Virology, 2021)
Several outbreaks of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1), which were characterized by yellow coloration and hemorrhage in pancreatic tissues, have occurred in China. The causative agent is called pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1. The mechanisms involved in pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 infection are still unclear. Transcriptome analysis of duck pancreas infected with classical-type DHAV-1 and pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 was carried out. Deep sequencing with Illumina-Solexa resulted in a total of 53.9 Gb of clean data from the cDNA library of the pancreas, and a total of 29,597 unigenes with an average length of 993.43 bp were generated by de novo sequence assembly. The expression levels of D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, phosphoserine aminotransferase, and phosphoserine phosphatase, which are involved in glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism pathways, were significantly downregulated in ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 compared with those infected with classical-type DHAV-1. These findings provide information regarding differences in expression levels of metabolism-associated genes between ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 and those infected with classical-type DHAV-1, indicating that intensive metabolism disorders may contribute to the different phenotypes of DHAV-1-infection.

Differential response of soil CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O emissions to edaphic properties and microbial attributes following afforestation in central China - Qiong Chen; Chunyan Long; Jingwen Chen; Xiaoli Cheng (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Land use change specially affects greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and it can act as a sink/source of GHGs. Alterations in edaphic properties and microbial attributes induced by land use change can individually/interactively contribute to GHG emissions, but how they predictably affect soil CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O emissions remain unclear. Here, we investigated the direct and indirect controls of edaphic properties (i.e., dissolved organic carbon [DOC], soil organic C, total nitrogen, C:N ratio, ‐N, ‐N, soil temperature [ST], soil moisture [SM], pH, and bulk density [BD]) and microbial attributes (i.e., total phospholipid fatty acids [PLFAs], 18:1ω7c, nitrifying genes [ammonia‐oxidizing archaea, ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria], and denitrifying genes [ nirS , nirK , and nosZ ]) over the annual soil CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O emissions from the woodland, shrubland, and abandoned land in subtropical China. Soil CO 2 and N 2 O emissions were higher in the afforested lands (woodland and shrubland) than in the abandoned land, but the annual cumulative CH 4 uptake did not significantly differ among all land use types. The CO 2 emission was positively associated with microbial activities (e.g., total PLFAs), while the CH 4 uptake was tightly correlated with soil environments (i.e., ST and SM) and chemical properties (i.e., DOC, C:N ratio, and ‐N concentration), but not significantly related to the methanotrophic bacteria (i.e., 18:1ω7c). Whereas, soil N 2 O emission was positively associated with nitrifying genes, but negatively correlated with denitrifying genes especially nosZ . Overall, our results suggested that soil CO 2 and N 2 O emissions were directly dependent on microbial attributes, and soil CH 4 uptake was more directly related to edaphic properties rather than microbial attributes. Thus, different patterns of soil CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O emissions and associated controls following land use change provided novel insights into predicting the effects of afforestation on climate change mitigation outcomes.

Globular adiponectin inhibits osteoblastic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells through the PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin pathway - Yun Zhou; Li-Long Wei; Rui-Ping Zhang; Cheng-Wu Han; Yongtong Cao (Journal of Molecular Histology, 2021)
Lipid metabolism is closely related to the improvement of vascular calcification (VC) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Globular adiponectin (gAd) has been reported to be involved in the development of VC in CKD, but the detailed regulatory role remains unclear. The present study is aimed to investigate the biological function and the underlying regulation mechanism of gAd in the process of VC during CKD. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) calcification was determined by Alizarin Red S staining. Protein signaling related with VC was tested by western blotting. The expression and intracellular localization of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) was detected by immunofluorescence and uraemic rat with VC was established by a two-step nephrectomy. Combined with the results of Alizarin Red S staining, we discovered that β-glycerophosphate (β-Gp)-induced the osteoblastic differentiation of VSMCs was significantly reversed by gAd treatment. Along with the VSMCs calcification and the increase of Runx2 in β-Gp-exposed VSMCs, the activities of protein kinase B (AKT) and Wnt/β-catenin pathway were enhanced, but that were counteracted by the exposure of gAd in rat and human VSMCs. After administration with agonists of the Wnt (SKL2001) and AKT (SC79), there appeared more osteoblastic differentiation and higher expression of Runx2 in gAd-treated VSMCs, but showing lower impact in the presence of SC79 than that in the presence of SKL2001. In the in vivo experiments, intravenous injection of gAd also significantly inhibited VC and Runx2 level in uraemic rat in a dose-dependent manner, possibly through regulating Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This study demonstrates that gAd ameliorates osteoblastic differentiation of VSMCs possibly by blocking PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling transduction. The findings provide an important foundation for gAd in treating VC in kidney diseases.

An update of the Worldwide Integrated Assessment (WIA) on systemic insecticides. Part 2: impacts on organisms and ecosystems - Lennard Pisa; Dave Goulson; En-Cheng Yang; David Gibbons; Francisco Sánchez-Bayo; Edward Mitchell; Alexandre Aebi; Jeroen van der Sluijs; Chris J. K. MacQuarrie; Chiara Giorio; Elizabeth Yim Long; Melanie McField; et al. (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021)
New information on the lethal and sublethal effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on organisms is presented in this review, complementing the previous Worldwide Integrated Assessment (WIA) in 2015. The high toxicity of these systemic insecticides to invertebrates has been confirmed and expanded to include more species and compounds. Most of the recent research has focused on bees and the sublethal and ecological impacts these insecticides have on pollinators. Toxic effects on other invertebrate taxa also covered predatory and parasitoid natural enemies and aquatic arthropods. Little new information has been gathered on soil organisms. The impact on marine and coastal ecosystems is still largely uncharted. The chronic lethality of neonicotinoids to insects and crustaceans, and the strengthened evidence that these chemicals also impair the immune system and reproduction, highlights the dangers of this particular insecticidal class (neonicotinoids and fipronil), with the potential to greatly decrease populations of arthropods in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Sublethal effects on fish, reptiles, frogs, birds, and mammals are also reported, showing a better understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity of these insecticides in vertebrates and their deleterious impacts on growth, reproduction, and neurobehaviour of most of the species tested. This review concludes with a summary of impacts on the ecosystem services and functioning, particularly on pollination, soil biota, and aquatic invertebrate communities, thus reinforcing the previous WIA conclusions (van der Sluijs et al. 2015).

FOXO3 is targeted by miR-223-3p and promotes osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by enhancing autophagy - Cheng Long; Shiqiang Cen; Zhou Zhong; Chang Zhou; Gang Zhong (Human Cell, 2021)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising regenerative medicine. The roles of miRNAs in osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs) remained less reported. Forkhead Box O3 (FOXO3) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in the BM-MSCs were measured on 3, 7, and 14 days after osteogenic differentiation. After transfection of FOXO3 overexpression plasmids or siFOXO3 into BM-MSCs, factors related to osteogenic differentiation or cell autophagy were determined. Besides, 3-methyladenine or rapamycin, as well as miR-223-3p mimic or inhibitor were applied to further determine the effect of FOXO3 in BM-MSCs. FOXO3 and ALP levels were increased in a time-dependent manner with osteogenic differentiation, supported by Alizarin Red Staining. Furthermore, up-regulated FOXO3 increased levels of ALP and factors related to osteogenic differentiation by increasing levels of autophagy-related factors. FOXO3, targeted by miR-223-3p, reversed the effects of miR-223-3p on factors related to BM-MSC autophagy and osteogenic differentiation. Down-regulated miR-223-3p expression promoted osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs by enhancing autophagy via targeting FOXO3, suggesting the potential of miR-223-3p as a therapeutic target for enhancing bone functions.

CD40 induces an antimicrobial response against the intracellular pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus - Hongli Xia; Huimin Fan; Meng Long; Jun Cheng; Wenjie Chen; Dapeng Yu; Liqun Xia; Yishan Lu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Streptococcus agalactiae is a Gram‐positive facultative intracellular bacterium that leads to severe economic loss of tilapia worldwide. Previous studies demonstrated that CD40 contributes to host protection against intracellular injection. In this study, CD40 was characterized from Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), named OnCD40. Sequence analysis showed that open reading frame of OnCD40 was 933 bp, containing a single peptide, a transmembrane domain and four cysteine‐rich domains. The qRT‐PCR revealed that OnCD40 was expressed in all examined tissues with the most abundant ones in spleen and thymus. After S. agalactiae stimulation, the expression of OnCD40 was significantly induced in most of the detected organs. Moreover, OnCD40‐overexpressing fish elicited significant protection against subsequent S. agalactiae challenge; approximately 10000‐fold fewer bacteria were detected in spleen of OnCD40‐overexpressing fish in comparison with control fish. Thus, CD40 had protecting function in Nile tilapia against intracellular pathogens.

Prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis infection in fish in South‐East Asia: A systematic review and meta‐analysis - Ying Zhang; Qing‐Long Gong; Qing‐Bo Lv; Yang‐Yuan Qiu; Yan‐Chun Wang; Hong‐Yu Qiu; Xin‐Rui Guo; Jun‐Feng Gao; Qiao‐Cheng Chang; Chun‐Ren Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2020)
Clonorchis sinensis , an important fish‐borne zoonotic trematode, is widely distributed in South‐East Asia, especially in China. Infections from human and animal reservoir hosts occur due to the consumption of raw or undercooked fish with C. sinensis metacercariae. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of C. sinensis metacercariae in fish in South‐East Asia via systematic review and meta‐analysis. We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and Chongqing VIP databases for studies published between 1976 and 2020 that are related to the prevalence of C. sinensis metacercariae in fish. Studies were screened with keywords based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seventy‐one eligible articles were identified, covering three countries: China, Korea and Vietnam. The pooled prevalence of C. sinensis metacercariae in fish from South‐East Asia was 30.5%, with 35.1% in China, 29.7% in Korea and 8.4% in Vietnam. In subgroup analyses of climate, season, water source and publication date, the highest prevalence was identified in the Dwb climate type (43.3%), summer (70.2%), river (34.5%) and pre‐2001 publications (38.9%), respectively. In comparison, the lowest prevalence was found in the Dfa climate type (14.5%), winter (19.5%), lake (8.0%) and post‐2001 publications (23.8%). Meta‐regression results indicated that country ( p = .009), the published time ( p = .035) and water source subgroups ( p = .003) may be the source of heterogeneity. Overall, our study indicates that a high prevalence of C. sinensis infections occurs in fish in China, Korea and Vietnam, illuminating a significant public health concern in these countries.

Asymmetric response of soil methane uptake rate to land degradation and restoration: Data synthesis - Junjun Wu; Qiong Chen; Wei Jia; Chunyan Long; Wenzhi Liu; Guihua Liu; Xiaoli Cheng (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Land degradation and restoration profoundly affect soil CH 4 uptake capacity in terrestrial ecosystems. However, a comprehensive assessment of the response of soil CH 4 uptake to land degradation and restoration at global scale is not available. Here, we present a global meta‐analysis with a database of 228 observations from 83 studies to investigate the effects of land degradation and restoration on the capacity of soil CH 4 uptake. We found that land degradation significantly decreased the capacity of soil CH 4 uptake, except the conversion of pasture to cropland where the soil CH 4 uptake rate showed no response. In contrast, all types of land restoration significantly increased the capacity of soil CH 4 uptake. Interestingly, the response of soil CH 4 uptake rate to land degradation and restoration was asymmetric: the increased soil CH 4 uptake rate in response to the land restoration was smaller compared to the decrease in CH 4 uptake rate induced by the land degradation. The effect of land degradation on soil CH 4 uptake rate was not dependent on the time since land use change, but the CH 4 sink strength increased with the time since land restoration. The response of soil CH 4 uptake rate to both land degradation and restoration was predominantly regulated by changes in the soil water‐filled pore space, soil bulk density, and pH, whereas alterations in the substrate quantity and quality had negligible effect. Additionally, the effects of land degradation and restoration on soil CH 4 uptake were strongly related to the mean annual precipitation and soil texture. Overall, our results provide novel insights for understanding of how land degradation and restoration can affect the CH 4 sink strength of upland soils, and more importantly, our findings are beneficial to take measures to enhance the potential of soil CH 4 uptake in response to global land use change.

The false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens requires rice stamens for false smut ball formation - Jing Fan; Jie Liu; Zhi‐You Gong; Pei‐Zhou Xu; Xiao‐Hong Hu; Jin‐Long Wu; Guo‐Bang Li; Juan Yang; Yu‐Qiu Wang; Yu‐Feng Zhou; Shuang‐Cheng Li; Li Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is known about the host factors required for false smut ball formation by U . virens . In this study, we identified histological determinants for the formation of false smut balls by inoculating U . virens into rice floral mutants defective with respect to individual floral parts. The results showed that U . virens could form mature false smut balls in rice floral mutants with defective pistils, but failed to develop false smut balls in the superwoman mutant lacking stamens, identifying that U . virens requires rice stamens to complete its infection cycle. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated a list of candidate host genes that may facilitate nutrient acquisition by U . virens from the rice stamens, such as SWEET11 , SWEET14 and SUT5 , and genes involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose and raffinose family sugars. These data pinpoint rice stamens as the key target organ of U . virens infection and provide a valuable starting point for dissecting the molecular mechanism of false smut ball formation.

Nutrient enrichment homogenizes taxonomic and functional diversity of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in shallow lakes - You Zhang; Long Cheng; Kuanyi Li; Lu Zhang; Yongjiu Cai; Xiaolong Wang; Jani Heino (Limnology and Oceanography, 2019)
Eutrophication alters the trophic dynamics in lakes and may result in biotic homogenization. How nutrient enrichment drives patterns of taxonomic and functional (i.e., trait‐based) homogenization of macroinvertebrate assemblages at within‐lake (local) and among‐lake (regional) scales is, however, not well understood. Taxonomic and functional compositions of macroinvertebrate assemblages in 41 lakes of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River were analyzed at within‐lake and among‐lake scales. Our results indicated that there was a significant difference in macroinvertebrate assemblages among lakes under different trophic status, and that total phosphorus was the major environmental factor that regulated both taxonomic and functional beta diversity of macroinvertebrate assemblages. That the abundances of pollution‐tolerant species (e.g., Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri and Microchironomus tabarui ) increased with trophic state contributed the most to among‐lake dissimilarity. Functional beta diversity was significantly positively correlated with taxonomic beta diversity, while functional beta diversity was on average lower than taxonomic beta diversity. A combination of univariate and multivariate techniques revealed that nutrient enrichment homogenized taxonomic and functional diversity of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in shallow lakes at within‐lake and among‐lake scales, and that there was an overall trend toward taxonomic homogenization that exceeded the trend of functional homogenization. Thus, taxonomic and functional compositions should be considered simultaneously to improve understanding of the response of aquatic communities to anthropogenic disturbance, as the loss and gain of species may be influenced by species‐specific features, and functional composition may exhibit a relatively high correspondence with changes in environmental conditions.

Subdividing the Holocene Series/Epoch: formalization of stages/ages and subseries/subepochs, and designation of GSSPs and auxiliary stratotypes - MIKE WALKER; Martin J.

(Journal of Quaternary Science, 2019)
The Holocene, which currently spans ~11 700 years, is the shortest series/epoch within the geological time scale (GTS), yet it contains a rich archive of evidence in stratigraphical contexts that are frequently continuous and often preserved at high levels of resolution. On 14 June 2018, the Executive Committee of the International Union of Geological Sciences formally ratified a proposal to subdivide the Holocene into three stages/ages, along with their equivalent subseries/subepochs, each anchored by a Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP). The new stages are the Greenlandian (Lower/Early Holocene Subseries/Subepoch) with its GSSP in the Greenland NGRIP2 ice core and dated at 11 700 a b2k (before 2000 CE); the Northgrippian (Middle Holocene Subseries/Subepoch) with its GSSP in the Greenland NGRIP1 ice core and dated at 8236 a b2k; and the Meghalayan (Upper/Late Holocene Subseries/Subepoch) with its GSSP in a speleothem from Mawmluh Cave, north‐eastern India, with a date of 4250 a b2k. We explain the nomenclature of the new divisions, describe the procedures involved in the ratification process, designate auxiliary stratotypes to support the GSSPs and consider the implications of the subdivision for defining the Anthropocene as a new unit within the GTS.

Photosynthetic tolerance to non‐resource stress influences competition importance and intensity in an invaded estuary - Long Tang; Amelia A. Wolf; Yang Gao; Cheng Huan Wang (Ecology, 2018)
In an attempt to clarify the role of environmental and biotic interactions on plant growth, there has been a long‐running ecological debate over whether the intensity and importance of competition stabilizes, increases or decreases across environmental gradients. We conducted an experiment in a Chinese estuary to investigate the effects of a non‐resource stress gradient, soil salinity (from 1.4‰ to 19.0‰ salinity), on the competitive interactions between native Phragmites australis and invasive Spartina alterniflora . We linked these effects to measurements of photosynthetic activities to further elucidate the underlying physiological mechanism behind the competitive interactions and the driver of invasion. The experiments revealed that while biomass of both species decreased in the presence of the other, competition did not alter photosynthetic activity of either species over time. P. australis exhibited high photosynthetic activity, including low chlorophyllase activity, high chlorophyll content, high stomatal conductance and high net photosynthetic rate, at low salinity. Under these conditions, P. australis experienced low competitive intensity, leading to high biomass production and competitive exclusion of S. alterniflora . The opposite was observed for S. alterniflora : while competitive intensity experienced by P. australis increased with increasing salinity, and photosynthetic activity, biomass, competitive dominance and the importance of competition for P. australis growth decreased, those of S. alterniflora were stable. These findings demonstrate that S. alterniflora invasion driven by competitive exclusion are likely to occur and expand in high salinity zones. The change in the nature of competition along a non‐resource stress gradient differs between competitors likely due to differences in photosynthetic tolerance to salinity. The driver of growth of the less‐tolerant species changes from competition to non‐resource stress factors with increasing stress levels, whereas competition is constantly important for growth of the more‐tolerant species. Incorporating metrics of both competition intensity and importance, as well as linking these competitive outcomes with physiological mechanisms, is crucial to understanding, predicting, and mediating the effects of invasive species in the future.
