Status of genetic and genomic approaches for delineating biological information and improving aquaculture production of farmed rohu, Labeo rohita (Ham, 1822) - Kiran D. Rasal; Jitendra Kumar Sundaray (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020)
Farmed rohu, Labeo rohita , is an economically important freshwater aquaculture species in south Asia. Consumer preference for this species has driven researchers to develop genetically improved rohu (Jayanti) for important traits such as growth and disease resistance. The feeding and breeding biology of rohu is well‐studied, but the physiological responses to stress or climate change at the molecular level are less understood. We summarized the genetic and advanced molecular tools used for biological insights into farmed rohu. Recently, next‐generation sequencing technology (NGS) and genome informatics have helped to identify biological questions in fish using genome, transcriptome, metagenome, proteome and epigenome sequencing. We briefly reviewed past rohu research using traditional selective breeding methods for genetic improvement, as well as the other molecular tools that have been utilized to understand the fish’s physiology, health, nutrition, stress and reproduction. We discuss the molecular techniques used in rohu, such as gene cloning and expression profiling, DNA markers, NGS, metagenomics, epigenomics, proteomics, cell culture/cell line development and transgenics. Finally, we address the future perspectives of rohu research, which may be driven by NGS and other advanced techniques like genome editing to improve rohu aquaculture production. The comprehensive information presented here will provide insights for the carp aquaculture research community.

The global abundance of tree palms - Robert Muscarella; Thaise Emilio; Oliver L. Phillips; Simon L. Lewis; Ferry Slik; William J. Baker; Thomas L. P. Couvreur; Wolf L. Eiserhardt; Jens‐Christian Svenning; Kofi Affum‐Baffoe; Shin‐Ichiro Aiba; Everton C. de Almeida; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020)
Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily, morphologically and physiologically distinct from other trees, and these differences have important consequences for ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage) and in terms of responses to climate change. We quantified global patterns of tree palm relative abundance to help improve understanding of tropical forests and reduce uncertainty about these ecosystems under climate change. Location Tropical and subtropical moist forests. Time period Current. Major taxa studied Palms (Arecaceae). Methods We assembled a pantropical dataset of 2,548 forest plots (covering 1,191 ha) and quantified tree palm (i.e., ≥10 cm diameter at breast height) abundance relative to co‐occurring non‐palm trees. We compared the relative abundance of tree palms across biogeographical realms and tested for associations with palaeoclimate stability, current climate, edaphic conditions and metrics of forest structure. Results On average, the relative abundance of tree palms was more than five times larger between Neotropical locations and other biogeographical realms. Tree palms were absent in most locations outside the Neotropics but present in >80% of Neotropical locations. The relative abundance of tree palms was more strongly associated with local conditions (e.g., higher mean annual precipitation, lower soil fertility, shallower water table and lower plot mean wood density) than metrics of long‐term climate stability. Life‐form diversity also influenced the patterns; palm assemblages outside the Neotropics comprise many non‐tree (e.g., climbing) palms. Finally, we show that tree palms can influence estimates of above‐ground biomass, but the magnitude and direction of the effect require additional work. Conclusions Tree palms are not only quintessentially tropical, but they are also overwhelmingly Neotropical. Future work to understand the contributions of tree palms to biomass estimates and carbon cycling will be particularly crucial in Neotropical forests.

Future distribution of invasive weed species across the major road network in the state of Montana, USA - Arjun Adhikari; Lisa J. Rew; Kumar P. Mainali; Subodh Adhikari; Bruce D. Maxwell (Regional Environmental Change, 2020)
Invasive plant species are a significant global problem, with the potential to alter structure and function of ecosystems and cause economic damage to managed landscapes. An effective course of action to reduce the spread of invasive plant species is to identify potential habitat incorporating changing climate scenarios. In this study, we used a suite of species distribution models (SDMs) to project habitat suitability of the eleven most abundant invasive weed species across road networks of Montana, USA, under current (2005) conditions and future (2040) projected climates. We found high agreement between different model predictions for most species. Among the environmental predictors, February minimum temperature, monthly precipitation, solar radiation, and December vapor pressure deficit accounted for the most variation in projecting habitat suitability for most of the invasive weed species. The model projected that habitat suitability along roadsides would expand for seven species ranging from + 5 to + 647% and decline for four species ranging from − 11 to − 88% under high representative concentration pathway (RCP 8.5) greenhouse gas (GHG) trajectory. When compared with current distribution, the ensemble model projected the highest expansion habitat suitability with six-fold increase for St. John’s Wort ( Hypericum perforatum ), whereas habitat suitability of leafy spurge ( Euphorbia esula ) was reduced by − 88%. Our study highlights the roadside areas that are currently most invaded by our eleven target species across 55 counties of Montana, and how this will change with climate. We conclude that the projected range shift of invasive weeds challenges the status quo, and requires greater investment in detection and monitoring to prevent expansion. Though our study focuses across road networks of a specific region, we expect our approach will be globally applicable as the predictions reflect fundamental ecological processes.

2015 Nepal earthquake: seismic performance and post-earthquake reconstruction of stone in mud mortar masonry buildings - Rohit Kumar Adhikari; Dina D’Ayala (Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2020)
The residential building typology of Stone in Mud Mortar (SMM) masonry contributed significantly to the seismic losses caused by the 2015 Nepalese seismic sequence, also known as the 2015 Gorkha earthquake. SMM masonry is the most common construction type in Nepal, and notwithstanding the extensive damage, this has persisted in the post-earthquake reconstruction. This paper provides first an overview of the extent of damage and typical failure modes suffered by this typology. Some pressing issues in the ongoing post-earthquake reconstruction, such as building usability, construction quality are then discussed. The results of seismic analyses on both the pre-earthquake (PRE-SMM) and post-earthquake built (POST-SMM) typologies, using the applied element method employing a modelling strategy that accounts for the random shape of stone units, are then presented and discussed in terms of capacity curves and failure mechanisms. As per the seismic design code of Nepal, seismic performance assessment is conducted to understand the seismic design levels of these constructions. Finally, seismic fragility and vulnerability functions for both the PRE-SMM and POST-SMM typologies, considering the uncertainty in ground motions and material quality, are presented and discussed. Considering the seismic hazard in Nepal, the PRE-SMM typology is found to be highly vulnerable and seismic strengthening of these buildings is urgent. On the other hand, the POST-SMM typology has adequate seismic capacity and performs within the serviceability limit, given the quality of both the construction materials and workmanship are not compromised.

Multifractal characterization of meteorological drought in India using detrended fluctuation analysis - S. Adarsh; D. Nagesh Kumar; B. Deepthi; G. Gayathri; S. S. Aswathy; S. Bhagyasree (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
This study presents multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF‐DFA) to describe the multifractality of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) series from 30 meteorological subdivisions of India estimated at different aggregation timescales (3, 6 and 12 months) based on long‐term monthly rainfall data sets of 1871–2016 period. The plots of fluctuation function and generalized Hurst exponents confirmed that multifractality is evident in most of the SPI series; however, it is found that its strength and persistency differ with timescale and space. The Hurst exponents of long‐term (SPI‐12) and medium‐term (SPI‐6) drought series of all subdivisions showed long‐term persistence irrespective of the climatic conditions of the region, while the short‐term droughts (SPI‐3) of six subdivisions displayed short‐term persistence. Further, the analysis by partitioning the data to four time spells: 1871–1905, 1906–1940, 1941–1975 and 1976–2016 showed that the persistency of long‐ and medium‐term drought is rather permanent. The analysis on changes in multifractal properties with respect to the climatic shift of 1976/1977 period showed that there is a clear increase in multifractal properties of all types of drought series in the recent past (post‐1976 period). This study also finds that the Hurst exponents and degree of multifractality of all types of droughts increase with increase in aggregation timescales. The multifractality of all the long‐term drought series (SPI‐12) and most of the SPI‐6 series are found to be due to correlation properties, while that of SPI‐3 is because of joint effect of correlation properties and the broadness of probability distribution.

Global wheat production with 1.5 and 2.0°C above pre‐industrial warming - Bing Liu; Pierre Martre; Frank Ewert; John R. Porter; Andy J. Challinor; Christoph Müller; Alex C. Ruane; Katharina Waha; Peter J. Thorburn; Pramod K. Aggarwal; Mukhtar Ahmed; Juraj Balkovič; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Efforts to limit global warming to below 2°C in relation to the pre‐industrial level are under way, in accordance with the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, most impact research on agriculture to date has focused on impacts of warming >2°C on mean crop yields, and many previous studies did not focus sufficiently on extreme events and yield interannual variability. Here, with the latest climate scenarios from the Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts (HAPPI) project, we evaluated the impacts of the 2015 Paris Agreement range of global warming (1.5 and 2.0°C warming above the pre‐industrial period) on global wheat production and local yield variability. A multi‐crop and multi‐climate model ensemble over a global network of sites developed by the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) for Wheat was used to represent major rainfed and irrigated wheat cropping systems. Results show that projected global wheat production will change by −2.3% to 7.0% under the 1.5°C scenario and −2.4% to 10.5% under the 2.0°C scenario, compared to a baseline of 1980–2010, when considering changes in local temperature, rainfall, and global atmospheric CO 2 concentration, but no changes in management or wheat cultivars. The projected impact on wheat production varies spatially; a larger increase is projected for temperate high rainfall regions than for moderate hot low rainfall and irrigated regions. Grain yields in warmer regions are more likely to be reduced than in cooler regions. Despite mostly positive impacts on global average grain yields, the frequency of extremely low yields (bottom 5 percentile of baseline distribution) and yield inter‐annual variability will increase under both warming scenarios for some of the hot growing locations, including locations from the second largest global wheat producer—India, which supplies more than 14% of global wheat. The projected global impact of warming

White leg shrimp, Penaeus vannamei , were collected on a monthly basis from grow‐out ponds located at Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh states along the east coast of India for screening of viral and other pathogens. Totally 240 shrimp samples randomly collected from 92 farms were screened for white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV) and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP). The number of shrimp collected from shrimp farms ranged from 6 to 20 based on the body weight of the shrimp. All the shrimp collected from one farm were pooled together for screening for pathogens by PCR assay. Among the samples screened, 28 samples were WSSV‐positive, one positive for IHHNV and 30 samples positive for EHP. Among the positive samples, four samples were found to be positive for both WSSV and EHP, which indicated that the shrimp had multiple infections with WSSV and EHP. This is the first report on the occurrence of multiple infections caused by WSSV and EHP. Multiplex PCR (m‐PCR) protocol was standardized to detect both pathogens simultaneously in single reaction instead of carrying out separate PCR for both pathogens. Using m‐PCR assay, naturally infected shrimp samples collected from field showed two prominent bands of 615 and 510 bp for WSSV and EHP, respectively.

Wheat grain protein concentration is an important determinant of wheat quality for human nutrition that is often overlooked in efforts to improve crop production. We tested and applied a 32‐multi‐model ensemble to simulate global wheat yield and quality in a changing climate. Potential benefits of elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration by 2050 on global wheat grain and protein yield are likely to be negated by impacts from rising temperature and changes in rainfall, but with considerable disparities between regions. Grain and protein yields are expected to be lower and more variable in most low‐rainfall regions, with nitrogen availability limiting growth stimulus from elevated CO 2 . Introducing genotypes adapted to warmer temperatures (and also considering changes in CO 2 and rainfall) could boost global wheat yield by 7% and protein yield by 2%, but grain protein concentration would be reduced by −1.1 percentage points, representing a relative change of −8.6%. Climate change adaptations that benefit grain yield are not always positive for grain quality, putting additional pressure on global wheat production.

Multimodel ensembles improve predictions of crop–environment–management interactions - Daniel Wallach; Pierre Martre; Bing Liu; Senthold Asseng; Frank Ewert; Peter J. Thorburn; Martin van Ittersum; Pramod K. Aggarwal; Mukhtar Ahmed; Bruno Basso; Christian Biernath; Davide Cammarano; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2018)
A recent innovation in assessment of climate change impact on agricultural production has been to use crop multimodel ensembles ( MME s). These studies usually find large variability between individual models but that the ensemble mean (e‐mean) and median (e‐median) often seem to predict quite well. However, few studies have specifically been concerned with the predictive quality of those ensemble predictors. We ask what is the predictive quality of e‐mean and e‐median, and how does that depend on the ensemble characteristics. Our empirical results are based on five MME studies applied to wheat, using different data sets but the same 25 crop models. We show that the ensemble predictors have quite high skill and are better than most and sometimes all individual models for most groups of environments and most response variables. Mean squared error of e‐mean decreases monotonically with the size of the ensemble if models are added at random, but has a minimum at usually 2–6 models if best‐fit models are added first. Our theoretical results describe the ensemble using four parameters: average bias, model effect variance, environment effect variance, and interaction variance. We show analytically that mean squared error of prediction ( MSEP ) of e‐mean will always be smaller than MSEP averaged over models and will be less than MSEP of the best model if squared bias is less than the interaction variance. If models are added to the ensemble at random, MSEP of e‐mean will decrease as the inverse of ensemble size, with a minimum equal to squared bias plus interaction variance. This minimum value is not necessarily small, and so it is important to evaluate the predictive quality of e‐mean for each target population of environments. These results provide new information on the advantages of ensemble predictors, but also show their limitations.

Statistical characteristics of cloud burst and mini‐cloud burst events during monsoon season in India - N. R. Deshpande; D. R. Kothawale; Vinay Kumar; J. R. Kulkarni (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
A short‐duration heavy rainfall events over India have been studied using hourly rainfall data of 126 stations for the period 1969–2015 for the Indian summer monsoon season. The events have been classified into two categories. The first category pertains to cloud burst (CB). The CB events have been further classified into two types, viz. “CBa” and “CBb.” CBa events are associated with heavy rainfall in the steep slope mountainous regions of Himalayas identified based on flash floods and damages to properties and human losses, irrespective of the rainfall amount. CBb events are associated with rainfall >10 cm/hr as per the definition by India Meteorological Department (IMD). The statistics of CBb events has been provided in the paper. A total of 28 CBb events have been recorded over Indian region in the study period. These are found to occur over different parts of India. A new and second category of short‐term heavy rainfall event has been defined as “mini‐cloud burst” (MCB). It is an event in which rainfall in two consecutive rain‐hours is 5 cm or more. Statistical characteristics of these events have been investigated. MCB occurs in June over Western Ghats, over central India and foot hills of Himalayas in July and August. The frequency is low in the month of September. These events generally found to occur in the early morning hours at foot hills of Himalaya and along the west coast of India. In the interior of the land mass these are observed in the afternoon hours while in southern peninsula during night hours. Trend analyses indicate significant increase in these events at many places, except over northeast India. The statistics of CBb and MCB events provided in the paper will trigger numerical modelling studies for understanding the dynamics and invigoration of convection.

Contrast in monsoon precipitation over oceanic region of north Bay of Bengal and east equatorial Indian Ocean - Samir Pokhrel; Anupam Hazra; Subodh Kumar Saha; Hemantkumar S. Chaudhari; Abirlal Metya; Sachin D. Ghude; Mahen Konwar (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
This study explores the possible causes of rainfall distribution over the two major oceanic raining regions of the north Bay of Bengal (nBoB) and the east equatorial Indian Ocean (eEIO). Despite 17% difference in vertically averaged humidity, there is almost 34% difference in mean rainfall over these two regions. The climatological seasonal [June–September (JJAS)] mean (standard deviation) rainfall over nBoB region is always higher (lower) than that over the eEIO region in all the independent data used. The eEIO region has a much larger percentage of low stratiform and convective rainfall ( −1 ) distribution as compared to nBoB, which is totally opposite in case of moderate stratiform and convective rainfall (>5 mm day −1 ) distribution. This is further substantiated by a much lower values of outgoing long‐wave radiation (OLR) in nBoB ( −2 ) as compared to the eEIO (217 W m −2 ) region. Mean Hadley circulation along with relative vorticity/divergence profile supports more intense (gentle) updrafts over nBoB (eEIO) region. Latent heat (LH) is almost three times at the upper level (∼8 km) in case of nBoB as compared to eEIO; however, at the lower level (∼3 km) LH is marginally higher over eEIO region. Microphysical variables, namely cloud ice optical thickness and cloud ice water path, are in much larger quantities over nBoB as compared to eEIO. Furthermore, the cold (warm) rain processes dominate among other microphysical processes over nBoB (eEIO) region. Thus, the interplay among large‐scale dynamics, thermodynamics and microphysics is very crucial in the formation of deep clouds and convective rain over the nBoB region and similarly shallow clouds and stratiform rain over the eEIO region. This study will be very useful to guide present‐day coupled models for proper representation of different rain components over the nBoB and eEIO region.

Processes controlling the accelerated warming of the Arabian Sea - Joshua Rosario D'Mello; S. Prasanna Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
The Arabian Sea (AS) has undergone a regime shift after 1995, manifesting the disruption of its natural decadal cycle over‐riding a secular rise in its sea‐surface temperature (SST). Using a suite of in situ and remote sensing data, we show that the rate of post‐1995 accelerated warming is spatially different, due to regionally and seasonally differing oceanographic processes. Along parts of the western boundary, the accelerated warming was mediated by a reduction in the post‐1995 linear trend of wind speed during summer monsoon leading to reduced upwelling and also reduced evaporation trend. In the northeast AS, post‐1995 increase in specific humidity during late winter, lead to a decrease in the evaporative cooling and subsequent convective mixing resulting in the increased rate of warming. The continued warming seen in the northeast AS until spring inter‐monsoon was due to the increasing net heat flux trend into the ocean along with reducing trend in evaporation. The accelerated warming in the central AS was linked to the reduced wind speed trend.
