Spatial and Temporal Differentiation of the Coordination and Interaction among the Three Fishery Industries in China from the Value Chain Perspective - Meng Su; Kai Cheng; Hao Kong (Fishes, 2023)
The efficiency change, mutual cooperation, and interaction among the three fishery industries in China can accurately reflect the level of economic development within the industry. Studying the relationships between the three fishery industries under the existing structural system is conducive to enhancing the endogenous power and steady progress of the industry. Using the DEA-Malmquist model, gray correlation, impulse response, and variance decomposition methods, this paper focuses on the specific value appreciation process of the three fishery industries, namely, fishery capture and aquaculture (primary industry), aquatic processing (secondary industry), and recreational fishery activities (tertiary industry), in order to analyze the synergy and interactive response relationship among the three fishery industries during the period of 2003 to 2020 based on the value chain. We propose specific policy suggestions regarding the overall efficiency level and integration degree of the three fishery industries. The results show the following: (1) the efficiency of fishery capture and aquaculture (primary industry) and aquatic processing (secondary industry) show significant regional differences, and the change in trend in the efficiency of recreational fishery activities (tertiary industry) is better than that of the other two. (2) Most of the synergy degrees of fish capture and aquaculture efficiency, aquatic processing efficiency, and recreational fishing efficiency, are medium and above. (3) The interactions among the efficiencies of the three fishery industries in the country and that in different regions vary. From a national perspective, the efficiency of the fishery industries can be dependent on economic inertia. There is a regional heterogeneity among the interactive responses to the efficiency of the three fishery industries in China; the interaction of fishery value chain efficiency in the four economic regions differs in both strength and direction. Exploring the synergy and interactive response among the three fishery industries in China from the value chain perspective can provide a basis for the precise governance of different regional characteristics and help to modernize the fishery industry.

Metabonomic Analysis of Macrobrachium rosenbergii with Iron Prawn Syndrome (IPS) - Xi-Lian Li; Pei-Jing Shen; Wen-Ping Jiang; Ji-Lun Meng; Hai-Hua Cheng; Qiang Gao (Fishes, 2023)
We previously reported on the comparison of proteomic data between seven tissue types of a novel “iron prawn” species. However, no transcripts or metabolic information are available for this species. We therefore performed shotgun LC–MS/MS metabonomic and RNA-seq analyses of the total protein from “iron prawns”. KEGG analysis revealed that the largest group consisted of a total of 114 KEGG pathway proteins, comparing the “iron prawns” with the normal prawns. A total of 423 peptides, corresponding to metabolic pathways, ABC transporters, starch and sucrose metabolism, insulin resistance/secretion, fatty digestion and absorption, and lipid metabolism, were identified. The pathways of carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism decreased in female iron prawns, while organic acid and its derivatives increased. However, the pathway of organic acid and its derivatives decreased and lipid metabolism increased in the male iron prawns. The pathways of choline metabolism in cancer and glycerophospholipid/histidine/propanoate metabolism have been significantly affected in iron prawns. Our work provides insight into the understanding of the formation mechanism of the “iron prawn”.

Metabolic reprogramming of Helicoverpa armigera larvae by HearNPV facilitates viral replication and host immune suppression - Zhiqiang Tian; Lin Zhu; J. P. Michaud; Meng Zha; Jie Cheng; Zhongjian Shen; Xiaoming Liu; Xiaoxia Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2023)
Baculoviruses are highly evolved parasites that genetically reprogram the developing phenotype of their host insect to produce a vessel for virus replication and dispersal. Here we show that larvae of Helicoverpa armigera infected with HearNPV accumulate glucose in the midgut, which reduces food consumption and alters the dynamics of pathways governing metabolism and immunity. We used transcriptomics to demonstrate the role of the insulin signalling pathway in regulating the HearNPV infection process. Dietary restriction decreased mortality of infected larvae and reduced viral replication prior to death, whereas dietary supplementation with glucose produced the opposite effects. The expression of most tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and energy metabolism‐related genes was reduced in infected larvae, whereas the expression of immunity‐, glycolysis‐ and insulin‐related genes was enhanced. Treatment of infected larvae with insulin increased their survival, reduced viral replication and inhibited climbing behaviour compared to a control treatment with DMSO, whereas RNAi suppression of the insulin receptor gene produced the opposite effects. Inhibition of glycolysis with dichloroacetate (DCA) promoted viral replication and accelerated larval death, but inhibition of the TCA cycle with 2‐deoxyglucose (2‐DG) did not, although both diminished climbing behaviour. This work demonstrates that successful baculovirus infections hinge on metabolic reprogramming of the host and concurrent suppression of immune responses in the larval midgut, with the insulin signalling pathway mediating a trade‐off between glucose metabolism and virus resistance.

Taxonomic Revision of the Genus Croaker Johnius (Perciformes: Sciaenidae) in Taiwanese Waters - Norhafiz Hanafi; Meng-Hsien Chen; Ying Giat Seah; Chih-Wei Chang; Shang Yin Vanson Liu; Chien-Cheng Lai; Ning Labbish Chao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Given the identification of the new species Johnius taiwanesis, the Johnius genus in Taiwanese water is here reviewed through a collection of field samples, museum specimens, and a review of the Taiwanese scientific literature. Seven valid Johnius species were successfully identified and distinguished based on gill raker length, tip of upper jaw to mouth hinge length, tip of lower jaw to mouth hinge length, and length of second spine of anal fin. Our phylogenetic tree based on cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) showed the existence of high interspecific genetic diversity within the genus Johnius forming a monophyletic group. The Johnius species in Taiwan are mainly distributed in a latitude ranging from Xingda (22.4° N) to Hsinchu (24.8° N) with J. taiwanensis, J. distinctus, and J. belangerii representing the most abundant species caught throughout the year. Johnius amblycephalus and J. borneensis were only caught in the summer, while J. trewavasae was rarely caught. In conclusion, we provide a dichotomous key for the genus Johnius in Taiwan waters.

The diversity and structure of diazotrophic communities in the rhizosphere of coastal saline plants is mainly affected by soil physicochemical factors but not host plant species - Yanjing Song; Lan Ma; Haiyang Zhang; Rao Fu; Xiaoyan Liang; Junlin Li; Jiajia Li; Meng Li; Yan Shan; Jieshan Cheng; Xiangyu Wang; Hongxia Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The diversity and community structure of rhizospheric microbes are largely affected by soil physicochemical properties and plant species. In this work, high throughput sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR targeting nifH gene were used to assess the abundance and diversity of diazotrophic community in the coastal saline soils of Yellow River Delta (YRD). We demonstrated that the copy number of nifH gene encoding the Fe protein subunit of the nitrogenase in the nitrogen fixation process was significantly affected by soil physiochemical factors, and the abundance of diazotrophs in the rhizospheric soil samples collected from different locations was positively related with soil physicochemical properties. Soil salinity ( P =0.003) and moisture ( P =0.003) were significantly co-varied with the OTU-based community composition of diazotrophs. Taxonomic analysis showed that most diazotrophs belonged to the Alphaproteobacteria , Gammaproteobacteria and Deltaproteobacteria . Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed that diazotrophic community structure significantly varied with soil salinity, moisture, pH and total nitrogen, carbon, sulphur and nitrite (NO 2 – N) content. Our findings provide direct evidence toward the understanding of different effects of soil physicochemical properties and host plant traits such as halophytes types, life span and cotyledon type, on the community composition of diazotrophic populations in the rhizosphere of plants grown in coastal saline soils.

Concentrations and Characteristics of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in Marine Zooplankton from the Gaoping Waters of Southwestern Taiwan - Hung-Yen Hsieh; Kuang-Ching Huang; Jing-O Cheng; Fung-Chi Ko; Pei-Jie Meng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Bioaccumulation by zooplankton is the outset for persistent organic pollutants that enter the marine food chain. Owing to a full spectrum of anthropogenic activities, the Gaoping waters of southwestern Taiwan are exposed to large quantities of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). However, information on these contaminants in zooplankton in this study area is lacking. In this study, we analyzed 19 PBDE congeners concentrations in 36 zooplankton samples from the Gaoping waters. A high variation in the total PBDE concentrations in zooplankton (from not detected to 1415 ng g−1 dry weight) was found, with the highest PBDE levels being recorded near the entrance of the Kaohsiung Harbor (KH). Significantly higher levels were noted for the KH transect than for the Gaoping River estuary (GR) and Fengshan Township (FS) transects, indicating that PBDE inputs originate from the ocean sewage outfalls. BDE-15 (43%) and BDE-209 (16%) were the predominant PBDE congeners in the zooplankton. Our results suggest that anthropogenic activities might predominantly contribute to significantly high PBDE concentrations. The traditional food web may easily transport these higher levels of PBDEs in zooplankton to higher trophic levels of marine organisms, since the Gaoping waters serve as essential nursery and spawning grounds for invertebrates and fishes.

Ferroptosis induced by the biocontrol agent Pythium oligandrum enhances soybean resistance to Phytophthora sojae - Yang Cheng; Huanxin Zhang; Wenyi Zhu; Qing Li; Rui Meng; Kun Yang; Ziqian Guo; Ying Zhai; Haijing Zhang; Rui Ji; Hao Peng; Daolong Dou; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death accompanied by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Both biotic and abiotic stresses can induce ferroptosis in plant cells. In the case of plant interactions with pathogenic Phytophthora oomycetes, the roles of ferroptosis are still largely unknown. Here, we performed transcriptome analysis on soybean plants treated with the biocontrol agent Pythium oligandrum , a soilborne and non‐pathogenic oomycete capable of inducing plant resistance against Phytophthora sojae infection. Expression of homologous soybean genes involved in ferroptosis and resistance was reprogrammed upon P. oligandrum treatment. Typical hallmarks for characterizing ferroptosis were detected in soybean hypocotyl cells, including decreased glutathione (GSH) level, accumulation of ferric ions, and lipid peroxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Meanwhile, ferroptosis‐like cell death was triggered by P. oligandrum to suppress P. sojae infection in soybean. Protection provided by P. oligandrum could be attenuated by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin‐1 (Fer‐1), suggesting the critical role of ferroptosis in soybean resistance against P. sojae . Taken together, these results demonstrate that ferroptosis is a P. oligandrum ‐inducible defence mechanism against oomycete infection in soybean.

In-situ radon-in-water detection for high resolution submarine groundwater discharge assessment - Shibin Zhao; Meng Li; William C. Burnett; Kai Cheng; Chunqian Li; Jinjia Guo; Songling Yu; Wen Liu; Tong Yang; Natasha T. Dimova; Guangquan Chen; Zhigang Yu; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), including both land-based fresh groundwater that enters the ocean from coastal aquifers as well as recirculated seawater that is continuously recharged and discharged on the seabed, has been considered as an important component of the global water and biogenic element (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon and carbon) sources and a significant pathway for material exchange at the land-sea interface of coastal ecosystems. Some researchers reported that SGD associated nutrient additions to coastal waters have caused unwanted ecological issues, including red tides, coastal acidification and hypoxia. Natural radon isotope ( 222 Rn, t 1/2 = 3.8 d ) is an excellent tracer for studying SGD and other oceanographic processes including air-sea gas exchange, sediment-water diffusion, and earthquake prediction. However, the conventional radon measurement methods suffer many technical disadvantages. We consequently developed a convenient submersible radon determination approach (“OUC-Rn”) using a commercial pulsed ionization chamber (PIC) radon sensor and gas extraction membrane module to produce high precision and high resolution observations. We demonstrate the radon degassing efficiency of the membrane contactor is comparable to the shower-head type air-water exchanger but is independent of operating position. The radon measurement efficiency of the PIC is 2-fold higher than the RAD7 detector and is far less influenced by moisture. We successfully deployed the system in 2.5 meters water depth over a 100 hours period in an anthropogenic influenced bay. Based on our high temporal resolution observations, the SGD flux was estimated to be 0-43.0 cm/d (mean: 25.4 ± 14.5 cm/d). The SGD fluxes pattern plotted together with the tidal variations revealed that tidal pumping may be the main force driving seawater recirculation into aquifers and thus affecting nutrient, carbon and other dissolved matters dynamics in coastal regions.

Nitrogen Enrichment Reduces the Diversity of Bacteria and Alters Their Nutrient Strategies in Intertidal Zones - Yuan-Feng Xu; Xu-Meng Dong; Cheng Luo; Shuo-Nan Ma; Ji-Lin Xu; Yong-De Cui (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Intertidal ecosystems are affected by severe nitrogen (N) pollution as a result of anthropogenic activities, and it is unclear how this may affect intertidal microbial communities, which play critical roles in regulating biogeochemical cycles. To address this gap, we conducted a two-month mesocosm experiment using six targeted concentrations of total N. The findings indicated that N entering seawaters has direct negative effects on the bacterial diversity. Dose dependence was found for the effects of N on bacterial diversity in sediment: low N addition increased the bacterial diversity, but a reduction in bacterial diversity occurred when N exceeded a certain value (≥ 3 mg L−1). Additionally, N enrichment caused clear shifts in bacterial community composition with increases in the relative abundance of Balneola (organic-degrading), Phalacroma mitra (carbohydrate-fermenting), and Bacteroides (phosphorus (P)-solubilizing), and decreases in Leptolyngbya_PPC_6406 (N2-fixing). The increased abundance in P-solubilizing and organic-degrading bacteria and decrease in N-fixing bacteria, combined with the upregulated activity of alkaline phosphatase and downregulation of urease activity, implied that the bacterial assemblage tended to be more effective in P and carbon acquisition but reduced N acquisition. Further path analysis suggested that N had direct effects on bacteria and contributed 50%–100% to the variations in bacterial diversity, whereas environmental changes such as dissolved oxygen and pH played minor roles. Overall, bacteria occurring in sediment were likely more stress-resistant to high N exposure than those occurring in seawater, possibly due to the high buffering capacity of sediment and growth tolerances of bacteria in the sediment. These findings point to the vulnerability of microbes in water systems to increasing global N loading, and that N reduction is needed to combat the loss of microbial diversity.

Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW. Elevated expression of PDXDC1 is related to higher BMD and lower ratio n-6/n-3 PUFA indicating a bone protective effect of PDXDC1.

Mega-earthquakes and extreme climate events accompanied by intrinsic fragile geology lead to numerous landslides along mountain highways in Taiwan, causing enormous life and economic losses. In this study, a system for rapid slope disaster information integration and assessment is proposed with the aim of providing information on landslide occurrence, failure mechanisms, and subsequent landslide-affected areas to the highway authority rapidly. The functionality of the proposed system is deployed into three units: (1) geohazard rapid report (GeoPORT I), (2) multidisciplinary geological survey report (GeoPORT II), and (3) site-specific landslide simulation report (GeoPORT III). After landslide occurrence, the seismology-based monitoring network rapidly provides the initial slope disaster information, including preliminary location, event magnitude, earthquake activity, and source dynamics, within an hour. Within 3 days of the landslide, a multidisciplinary geological survey is conducted to collect high-precision topographical, geological, and remote-sensing data to determine the possible failure mechanism. After integrating the aforementioned information, a full-scale three-dimensional landslide simulation based on the discrete element method is performed within 10 days to reveal the failure process and to identify the areas potentially affected by subsequent disasters through scenario modeling. Overall, the proposed system can promptly provide comprehensive and objective information to relevant authorities after the event occurrence for hazard assessment. The proposed system was validated using a landslide event in the Central Cross-Island Highway of Taiwan.

Endosomal sorting complexes required for transport‐0 ( ESCRT ‐0) are essential for fungal development, pathogenicity, autophagy and ER ‐phagy in Magnaporthe oryzae - Li‐Xiao Sun; Hui Qian; Meng‐Yu Liu; Ming‐Hua Wu; Yun‐Yun Wei; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Jian‐Ping Lu; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Magnaporthe oryzae is an important plant pathogen that causes rice blast. Hse1 and Vps27 are components of ESCRT‐0 involved in the multivesicular body (MVB) sorting pathway and biogenesis. To date, the biological functions of ESCRT‐0 in M. oryzae have not been determined. In this study, we identified and characterized Hse1 and Vps27 in M. oryzae . Disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 caused pleiotropic defects in growth, conidiation, sexual development and pathogenicity, thereby resulting in loss of virulence in rice and barley leaves. Disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 triggered increased lipidation of MoAtg8 and degradation of GFP‐MoAtg8, indicating that ESCRT‐0 is involved in the regulation of autophagy. ESCRT‐0 was determined to interact with coat protein complex II (COPII), a regulator functioning in homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER homeostasis), and disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 also blocked activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER‐phagy). Overall, our results indicate that ESCRT‐0 plays critical roles in regulating fungal development, virulence, autophagy and ER‐phagy in M. oryzae .

A Hybrid Model for Vessel Traffic Flow Prediction Based on Wavelet and Prophet - Dangli Wang; Yangran Meng; Shuzhe Chen; Cheng Xie; Zhao Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Accurate vessel traffic flow prediction is significant for maritime traffic guidance and control. According to the characteristics of vessel traffic flow data, a new hybrid model, named DWT–Prophet, is proposed based on the discrete wavelet decomposition and Prophet framework for the prediction of vessel traffic flow. First, vessel traffic flow was decomposed into a low-frequency component and several high-frequency components by wavelet decomposition. Second, Prophet was trained to predict the components, respectively. Finally, the prediction results of the components were reconstructed to complete the prediction. The experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid DWT–Prophet outperformed the single Prophet, long short-term memory, random forest, and support vector regression (SVR). Moreover, the practicability of the new forecasting method was improved effectively.

Hydro-meteorological risks are a growing issue for societies, economies and environments around the world. An effective, sustainable response to such risks and their future uncertainty requires a paradigm shift in our research and practical efforts. In this respect, Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) offer the potential to achieve a more effective and flexible response to hydro-meteorological risks while also enhancing human well-being and biodiversity. The present paper describes a new methodology that incorporates stakeholders’ preferences into a multi-criteria analysis framework, as part of a tool for selecting risk mitigation measures. The methodology has been applied to Tamnava river basin in Serbia and Nangang river basin in Taiwan within the EC-funded RECONECT project. The results highlight the importance of involving stakeholders in the early stages of projects in order to achieve successful implementation of NBSs. The methodology can assist decision-makers in formulating desirable benefits and co-benefits and can enable a systematic and transparent NBSs planning process.

The effects of seagrass on microalgal assemblages under experimentally elevated temperatures (28°C) and CO 2 partial pressures (pCO 2 ; 800 μatm) were examined using coral reef mesocosms. Concentrations of nitrate, ammonium, and benthic microalgal chlorophyll a (chl-a) were significantly higher in seagrass mesocosms, whereas phytoplankton chl-a concentrations were similar between seagrass and seagrass-free control mesocosms. In the seagrass group, fewer parasitic dinoflagellate OTUs (e.g., Syndiniales) were found in the benthic microalgal community though more symbiotic dinoflagellates (e.g., Cladocopium spp.) were quantified in the phytoplankton community. Our results suggest that, under ocean acidification conditions, the presence of seagrass nearby coral reefs may (1) enhance benthic primary productivity, (2) decrease parasitic dinoflagellate abundance, and (3) possibly increase the presence of symbiotic dinoflagellates.

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.

Numerical Analysis of Vertical Breakwater Stability under Extreme Waves - Meng-Syue Li; Cheng-Jung Hsu; Hung-Chu Hsu; Li-Hung Tsai (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The purpose of this study is to perform a numerical simulation of caisson breakwater stability concerning the effect of wave overtopping under extreme waves. A numerical model, which solves two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations with the k−ε turbulence closure and uses the volume of fluid method for surface capturing, is validated with the laboratory observations. The numerical model is shown to accurately predict the measured free-surface profiles and the wave pressures around a caisson breakwater. Considering the dynamic loading on caisson breakwaters during overtopping waves, not only landward force and lift force but also the seaward force are calculated. Model results suggest that the forces induced by the wave overtopping on the back side of vertical breakwater and the phase lag of surface elevations have to be considered for calculating the breakwater stability. The numerical results also show that the failure of sliding is more dangerous than the failure of overturning in the vertical breakwater. Under extreme waves with more than 100 year return period, the caisson breakwater is sliding unstable, whereas it is safe in overturning stability. The influence of wave overtopping on the stability analysis is dominated by the force on the rear side of the caisson and the phase difference on the two ends of caisson. For the case of extreme conditions, if the impulse force happens at the moment of the minimum of load in the rear side, the safety factor might decrease significantly and the failure of sliding might cause breakwater damage. This paper demonstrates the potential stability failure of coastal structures under extreme sea states and provides adapted formulations of safety factors in dynamic form to involve the influence of overtopping waves.

Himalayan wolf distribution and admixture based on multiple genetic markers - Geraldine Werhahn; Yanjiang Liu; Yao Meng; Chen Cheng; Zhi Lu; Luciano Atzeni; Zhixiong Deng; Shi Kun; Xinning Shao; Qi Lu; Jyoti Joshi; Adarsh Man Sherchan; et al. (Journal of Biogeography, 2020)
Aim We explore the phylogeography of Himalayan wolves using multiple genetic markers applied on a landscape‐scale dataset and relate our findings to the biogeographic history of the region. Location Himalayas of Nepal, the Tibetan Plateau of China and mountain ranges of Central Asia. Taxon Himalayan wolf (also called the Tibetan wolf), Canis lupus chanco . Methods We present a large‐scale, non‐invasive study of Himalayan wolves from across their estimated range. We analysed 280 wolf scat samples from western China, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan at two mtDNA loci, 17 microsatellite loci, four non‐synonymous SNPs in three nuclear genes related to the hypoxia pathway, and ZF genes on both sex chromosomes. Results Our results corroborate previous studies showing that the Himalayan wolf forms a distinct lineage adapted to high altitudes in excess of 4,000 m elevation. We found a correlation between hypoxia adaptation and the divergent Himalayan wolf mtDNA haplotype found across the Tibetan Plateau of Qinghai, the Tibetan Autonomous Region and the Nepalese Himalayas. We identified a region of admixture between Himalayan and grey wolves at the boundary of their distributions, where the Tibetan Plateau elevation gradually drops. Main Conclusion Based on multiple genetic markers, the Himalayan wolf forms a reciprocally monophyletic lineage with a unique adaptation to high altitude. We propose that the divergence of the lineage is related to past uplift of the region, and that the lineage maintains its high‐altitude niche, in part, by means of its genetic adaptation to hypoxia. We conclude that the Himalayan wolf merits taxonomic recognition and designation as an evolutionary significant unit (ESU).
