Geographic patterns of tree dispersal modes in Amazonia and their ecological correlates - Diego F. Correa; Pablo R.

Castilho; Oliver L. Phillips; Juan Ernesto Guevara; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2023)
Aim To investigate the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoochory, synzoochory, anemochory and hydrochory). We examined if the proportional abundance of these dispersal modes could be explained by the availability of dispersal agents (disperser‐availability hypothesis) and/or the availability of resources for constructing zoochorous fruits (resource‐availability hypothesis). Time period Tree‐inventory plots established between 1934 and 2019. Major taxa studied Trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 9.55 cm. Location Amazonia, here defined as the lowland rain forests of the Amazon River basin and the Guiana Shield. Methods We assigned dispersal modes to a total of 5433 species and morphospecies within 1877 tree‐inventory plots across terra‐firme, seasonally flooded, and permanently flooded forests. We investigated geographic patterns in the proportional abundance of dispersal modes. We performed an abundance‐weighted mean pairwise distance (MPD) test and fit generalized linear models (GLMs) to explain the geographic distribution of dispersal modes. Results Anemochory was significantly, positively associated with mean annual wind speed, and hydrochory was significantly higher in flooded forests. Dispersal modes did not consistently show significant associations with the availability of resources for constructing zoochorous fruits. A lower dissimilarity in dispersal modes, resulting from a higher dominance of endozoochory, occurred in terra‐firme forests (excluding podzols) compared to flooded forests. Main conclusions The disperser‐availability hypothesis was well supported for abiotic dispersal modes (anemochory and hydrochory). The availability of resources for constructing zoochorous fruits seems an unlikely explanation for the distribution of dispersal modes in Amazonia. The association between frugivores and the proportional abundance of zoochory requires further research, as tree recruitment not only depends on dispersal vectors but also on conditions that favour or limit seedling recruitment across forest types.

Towards Effective Consensus Scoring in Structure-Based Virtual Screening - Do Nhat Phuong; Darren R. Flower; Subhagata Chattopadhyay; Amit K. Chattopadhyay (Interdisciplinary Sciences: Computational Life Sciences, 2022)
Virtual screening (VS) is a computational strategy that uses in silico automated protein docking inter alia to rank potential ligands, or by extension rank protein–ligand pairs, identifying potential drug candidates. Most docking methods use preferred sets of physicochemical descriptors (PCDs) to model the interactions between host and guest molecules. Thus, conventional VS is often data-specific, method-dependent and with demonstrably differing utility in identifying candidate drugs. This study proposes four universality classes of novel consensus scoring (CS) algorithms that combine docking scores, derived from ten docking programs (ADFR, DOCK, Gemdock, Ledock, PLANTS, PSOVina, QuickVina2, Smina, Autodock Vina and VinaXB), using decoys from the DUD-E repository ( http://dude.docking.org/ ) against 29 MRSA-oriented targets to create a general VS formulation that can identify active ligands for any suitable protein target. Our results demonstrate that CS provides improved ligand–protein docking fidelity when compared to individual docking platforms. This approach requires only a small number of docking combinations and can serve as a viable and parsimonious alternative to more computationally expensive docking approaches. Predictions from our CS algorithm are compared against independent machine learning evaluations using the same docking data, complementing the CS outcomes. Our method is a reliable approach for identifying protein targets and high-affinity ligands that can be tested as high-probability candidates for drug repositioning. Graphical Abstract

Wave Transformation behind a Breakwater in Jukbyeon Port, Korea—A Comparison of TOMAWAC and ARTEMIS of the TELEMAC System - Jong-Dae Do; Sang-Kwon Hyun; Jae-Youll Jin; Byunggil Lee; Weon-Mu Jeong; Kyong-Ho Ryu; Won-Dae Back; Jae-Ho Choi; Yeon S. Chang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Severe shoreline erosions are commonly observed due to the side effects of breakwaters constructed to protect the habitat. These breakwaters can cause wave energy differences behind the structure due to diffraction, inducing longshore sediment transport and resulting in shoreline changes. Therefore, it is essential to correctly simulate the effect of wave transformation in the lee side of structures, but such studies reporting performance of models in the field have been relatively rare. In this study, two wave models of the TELEMAC system were used to investigate the accuracy of modeling the wave transformation effect in a lee area of a breakwater built to secure the harbor’s tranquility, near Jukbyeon Port in Korea, through comparisons with field observations. Two cases of wave conditions with different wave heights and directions were tested. In both cases, the TEL EMAC–ARTEMIS model had lower errors than TELEMAC–TOMAWAC at the onshore wave location, confirming that the phase-resolving ARTEMIS showed better performance in simulating the wave transformation than the phase-averaged TOMAWAC, as expected. However, ARTEMIS had slightly higher errors than TOMAWAC at the offshore location, probably due to the interference by reflected waves from the complex coastlines formed by the different coastal structures. The results also provide various implications learned from the numerical experiments, which can be usefully applied to engineering aspects, such as for the estimation of harbor tranquility.

Is China’s Fishing Capacity Management Sufficient? Quantitative Assessment of China’s Efforts toward Fishing Capacity Management and Proposals for Improvement - Hyun-Joo Yang; Daomin Peng; Honghong Liu; Yongtong Mu; Do-Hoon Kim (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
As the country with the world’s largest fishing capacity, China suffers from the depletion of living marine resources, mainly caused by overexploitation, the effects of which also distinctly influence global sustainable utilization of marine resources and maritime order. The country has implemented a series of measures to control its national fishing capacity, notably since the late 1980s, and strongly expressed its responsibility and commitment to sustainable resource utilization in the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020). This study quantitatively assesses the effect of China’s fishing capacity management efforts by examining changes in the fishing capacity of marine capture fisheries by region from 1979 to 2019 in Chinese waters, based on window data envelopment analysis (DEA), and further proposes directions for policy adjustment. The results suggest that China’s coastal and offshore fisheries are still subject to overcapacity of approximately 20%, despite major corrective efforts invested in past decades. This implies that China needs to further improve its fishing capacity management and set clear objectives, as determined by the availability of resources and regional features. Global fisheries management’s focus is shifting from input to output control, but overcapacity still threatens the sustainable use of fisheries resources in China and poses obstacles to other systems.

Efficient Structural Dynamic Analysis Using Condensed Finite Element Matrices and Its Application to a Stiffened Plate - Do-Hyun Ko; Seung-Hwan Boo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In this study, we propose effective formulations for modal, frequency response, and transient analyses using condensed matrices of the finite element (FE) model. Employing the iterated improved reduced system (IIRS) method, a transformation matrix is defined that condenses the stiffness and inertial effects of nodes to be neglected into nodes of interest. Using this, the condensed mass and stiffness matrices are derived. With these two condensed matrices, a condensed damping matrix is derived using the Rayleigh damping. By considering the condensed matrices in the original structural dynamic formulation based on the global FE matrices, the condensed structural dynamic formulation is derived, and the approximated solutions are calculated from this condensed formulation. To verify the performance of the proposed formulation, we perform a structural dynamic analysis on a stiffened plate, and by comparison with the solutions calculated from the global FE matrices, the proposed formulations have been found to provide highly accurate solutions with an excellent computational efficiency.

Phylogenetic, Allometric, and Ecological Factors Affecting Morphological Variation in the Scapula and Humerus of Spiny Rats (Rodentia: Echimyidae) - Jeiel Gabrir Carvalhaes; William Corrêa Tavares; Roberto do Val Vilela; Paulo Sérgio D’Andrea (Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2022)
Locomotion, as a fundamental function in mammals directly associated with the use of ecological resources, is expected to have anatomical structures functionally committed that evolved under intense selective pressure, possibly carrying specializations for different locomotor habits. Among caviomorph rodents, the family Echimyidae stands out for having the greatest species richness, with relatively well-resolved phylogenetic relationships, wide variation in body mass, and remarkable diversity of locomotor habits, including arboreal, scansorial, semi-aquatic, semifossorial, and terrestrial forms. Thus, Echimyidae constitutes a promising model for understanding how phylogenetic, allometric, and ecological factors affect the evolution of postcranial structures directly linked to locomotor function. We investigated the influence of these three factors on scapular and humeral morphological variation in 38 echimyid species using two-dimensional geometric morphometry and phylogenetically informed comparative methods. Scapular and humeral shape variation had a low correlation with body mass and structure size, conveying a small or negligible allometric effect. Conversely, a significant moderate to strong phylogenetic signal was detected in both structures, suggesting that an important part of their morphometric variation results from shared evolutionary history. Notably, morphological variation of the scapula was extensively structured by phylogeny, without the marked influence of locomotor habits, suggesting that its shape may be a suitable taxonomic marker. Finally, locomotor habits were important in structuring the morphological variation of the humerus. Our results suggest that the morphologies of the scapula and humerus, despite being anatomically and functionally interconnected, were differentially shaped by ecological factors associated with locomotor habits.

Indigenous agriculture at the beginning of the twenty-first century: the Guaraní Mbyás minority conserves ethnoknowledge and agrobiodiversity within the remnants of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest - Lucas Mazzero Fernandes; Anna Maria Visscher; Hilton Thadeu Zarato do Couto; Gabriel Mendes Marcusso; Ciro Abbud Righi (Agroforestry Systems, 2022)
Swidden agricultural practices reflect a great deal of Indigenous and traditional ethnobotanical knowledge; however, such system and livelihoods are in decline worldwide and tend to disappear. This study aimed to survey the main characteristics of land use and agrobiodiversity of the swidden culture practiced by the Guaraní, in Serra do Mar (São Paulo state, Southeast Brazil). We likewise studied the socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of the Guaraní, focusing specifically on their ethnobotanical knowledge, to help conserve traditional agricultural practices in the deep tropics. A total of eighteen ethnobotanical surveys were carried out on 18 production units (10 × 10 m) in the cultivation phase after combustion took place. All species of agricultural use were indicated by the smallholders and identified to species level. Semi-structured interviews based on the design and diagnosis method World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) were carried out in either Portuguese or the native language with 48 smallholders in the village. Main topics discussed were the history of each sampled plot, socio-economic aspects of the production units, aspects of agricultural management to characterize the level of intensification, and forms of managing vegetation and criteria for making decisions about the maintenance of wild species in the agricultural plots. The ethnobotanical survey showed 65 varieties of plants for agricultural use, totaling 39 species, they are used for cultural-ritualistic, ecological, food, economic, medicinal, and ornamental aspects. Main crops found were corn ( Zea mays ), potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) and peanut ( Arachis hypogaea ). Fire is vital for Guarani’s agricultural practices. Fields are small and occupy just 0.25% of the indigenous land. The Guaraní’s traditional agroforest systems are independent of external inputs and are important for conservation of seeds and agrobiodiversity. There are three factors that maintain the dynamics of Guarani’s agricultural systems, namely: religiosity, the network of kinships and the existence of legal owned territories. Swidden and slash and mulch systems are part of the maintenance of the cultural autonomy of the Guaraní, providing them with a way to obtain financial and food resources directly and indirectly from the biome in a sustainable way. Hence, protecting this ethnoecology guarantees the cultural, physical, and social existence of the Guaraní and likewise helps to conserve the remnants of the Atlantic Forest hotspot.

The Influence of Crest Width and Working States on Wave Transmission of Pile–Rock Breakwaters in the Coastal Mekong Delta - Nguyet-Minh Nguyen; Duong Do Van; Tu Le Duy; Nhat Truong Pham; Thanh Duc Dang; Ahad Hasan Tanim; David Wright; Phong Nguyen Thanh; Duong Tran Anh (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The coastline of the Ca Mau and Kien Giang provinces in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta has been severely eroded in recent decades. Pile–Rock Breakwaters (PRBWs) are among the most widely adopted structures for controlling shoreline erosion in this region. These structures are effective for wave energy dissipation, stimulating sediment accumulation, and facilitating the restoration of mangrove forests. These breakwaters are generally considered to be the best-engineering practice; however, there is currently insufficient scientific evidence with regard to specific structural design aspects. This can lead to PRBW structures being compromised when deployed in the field. This study used a physical model of a PRBW in a laboratory to investigate several design parameters, including crest width and working states (i.e., submerged, transition, and emerged), and investigated their relationship with the wave transmission coefficient, wave reflection coefficient, and wave energy dissipation. To investigate these relationships further, empirical formulas were derived for PRBWs under different sea states and crest widths to aid the design process. The results showed that the PRBW width had a significant influence on the wave energy coefficients. The findings revealed that the crest width of the breakwater was inversely proportional to the wave transmission coefficient (Kt) under the emerged state. The crest width was also proportional to the wave reduction efficiency and wave energy dissipation in both working states (i.e., the submerged and emerged states). The front wave disturbance coefficient (Kf) was found to be proportional to the wave reflection coefficient, and the wave height in front of the structure was found to increase by up to 1.4 times in the emerged state. The wave reflection coefficient requires special consideration to reduce the toe erosion in the structure. Lastly, empirical equations including linear and non-linear formulas were compared with previous studies for different classes of breakwaters. These empirical equations will be useful for understanding the wave transmission efficiency of PRBWs. The findings of this study provide important guidance for PRBW design in the coastal area of the Mekong Delta.

Estimation of the Benthic Habitat Zonation by Photo-Quadrat Image Analysis along the Fringing Reef of Weno Island, Chuuk, Micronesia - Taihun Kim; Dae-Won Lee; Han-Jun Kim; Yun-Hwan Jung; Young-Ung Choi; Jung-Hee Oh; Tae-Hoon Kim; Do-Hyung Kang; Heung-Sik Park (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Benthic habitat zonation is described from in situ observations and seabed photographs taken from the coastal area of Weno Island, Chuuk, Micronesia. Habitat groups, types, and boundaries are defined by visible substratum characteristics (i.e., in situ and by digital imaging of photo-quadrats along transect lines), and by cluster and ordination analyses using relative coverage percentage of identified classification categories. The statistical similarity between habitat groups is determined by Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM). Benthic habitat groups with significant influence on the determination of habitat type are isolated by the similarity percentage (SIMPER) test. In addition to the standard practices of using transect lines and collecting data in accordance with the already well-implemented and thoroughly-tested benthic habitat classification scheme for tropical reef monitoring, we applied simple statistics that enable comparative data interpretation. Our simple, repeatable methods provide a framework for benthic habitat-related monitoring research that allows the comparison of results across regions.

Threat Utility of the Seaport Risk Factors: Use of Rough Set-Based Genetic Algorithm - Muhammad Reza Do Bagus; Shinya Hanaoka (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The threat due to risk factors disrupts supply chain continuity. To ensure supply chain continuity, it is important to understand the interdependency between seaport risk factors and the threat of supply chain disruption, from an economic and risk management perspective. This study understands the threat utility of port-centric supply chain risk disruption (PSCRD). It proposes a rough set-based genetic algorithm model and adopts the hybrid-conjoint analysis concept to generate the threat utility function. It is the sum of the level of disruption by the conditional seaport risk factors influencing the satisfaction of seaport-fulcrum supply chain continuity. It selects Indonesia to illustrate PSCRD empirically. Based on 153 samples of experts’ evaluation, the rough set model highlights 24 conditional seaport risks as central tendency risk factors and classifies them into ten-dimensional threat factors. The results show that the seaport service process threat is the primary source of PSCRD in Indonesia; it reduces utility satisfaction to 32.2%, in the 100% utility estimation. This is followed by the relationship and planning process threats with 28% and 26.6% utilities, respectively. This study presents a framework to analyze PSCRD in relation to utility satisfaction and demonstrates the need for an integrated plan to enhance SSC resilience.

Tuna fisheries have become the most important contributor to the coastal central provinces of Vietnam since it was introduced in early 1990s. However, developing effective management guidelines for yellowfin ( Thunnus albacares ) and bigeye ( Thunnus obesus ) tuna, the main target species for longline and handline fisheries, is difficult because there is no information on its growth characteristics. In particular, length-length, length–weight, and weight-weight relationships, the important components of fisheries production models, do not exist for those species. This study first provided those relationship equations and represented an improvement in the knowledge of these species in its distribution range with maximum sizes updated.

Wastewater inflow time series forecasting at low temporal resolution using SARIMA model: a case study in South Australia - Phuong Do; Christopher W. K. Chow; Raufdeen Rameezdeen; Nima Gorjian (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Forecasts of wastewater inflow are considered as a significant component to support the development of a real-time control (RTC) system for a wastewater pumping network and to achieve optimal operations. This paper aims to investigate patterns of the wastewater inflow behaviour and develop a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) forecasting model at low temporal resolution (hourly) for a short-term period of 7 days for a real network in South Australia, the Murray Bridge wastewater network/wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Historical wastewater inflow data collected for a 32-month period (May 2016 to December 2018) was pre-processed (transformed into an hourly dataset) and then separated into two parts for training (80%) and testing (20%). Results reveal that there is seasonality presence in the wastewater inflow time series data, as it is heavily dependent on time of the day and day of the week. Besides, the SARIMA (1,0,3)(2,1,2) 24 was found as the best model to predict wastewater inflow and its forecasting accuracy was determined based on the evaluation criteria including the root mean square error (RMSE = 5.508), the mean absolute value percent error (MAPE = 20.78%) and the coefficient of determination ( R 2 = 0.773). From the results, this model can provide wastewater operators curial information that supports decision making more effectively for their daily tasks on operating their systems in real-time.

The proposed Anthropocene Epoch/Series is underpinned by an extensive array of mid‐20 th century stratigraphic event signals - Martin J. Head; Jan A. Zalasiewicz; Colin N. Waters; Simon D. Turner; Mark Williams; Anthony D. Barnosky; Will Steffen; Michael Wagreich; Peter K. Haff; Jaia Syvitski; Reinhold Leinfelder; Francine M. G. Mccarthy; et al. (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2022)
The extensive array of mid‐20 th century stratigraphic event signals associated with the ‘Great Acceleration’ enables precise and unambiguous recognition of the Anthropocene as an epoch/series within the Geological Time Scale. A mid‐20 th century inception is consistent with Earth System science analysis in which the Anthropocene term and concept arose, and would reflect the reality that our planet has sharply exited the range of natural variability characterizing the Holocene Epoch/Series, which the Anthropocene would therefore terminate. An alternative, recently proposed ‘geological event’ approach to the Anthropocene is primarily an interdisciplinary concept, encompassing historical and socio‐cultural processes and their global environmental impacts over a diachronous timeframe that extends back at least many millennia. Resembling more closely a geological episode than an event , it would decouple the Anthropocene from its chronostratigraphic delineation and association with an abrupt planetary perturbation; but separately defined and differently named it might be usefully complementary. We recommend a clear separation of epochs , events and episodes . An epoch is a formal subdivision of the Geological Time Scale, and its correlation may be assisted by one or more events ; an event is usually, and particularly in the Quaternary, a brief incident or perturbation with a sedimentary expression; and an episode is a longer, internally complex time interval that may include several events and even extend across several epochs.

Sensitivity Analysis of Event-Specific Calibration Data and Its Application to Modeling of Subaerial Storm Erosion under Complex Bathymetry - Hyeok Jin; Kideok Do; Inho Kim; Sungyeol Chang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Key parameters in a process-based model depicting the morphological changes during storm events should be adjusted to simulate the hydro- and morphodynamics, leading to site-, profile-, and event-specific calibration. Although area models eliminate variability in calibrated parameters along with each profile in complex bathymetry, the amount of influence datasets with different wave conditions have on model performance is still unclear in an area model in a given parameter space. This study collected hydrodynamic and bathymetric field data over four different storm conditions (two single and two cluster storms) at Maengbang Beach, South Korea. The numerical model XBeach was adopted using four storm datasets with four key parameters to examine the influence of event-specific calibration data on subaerial storm erosion. When using clustered storm data, a relatively limited number of parameter combinations showed higher model sensitivity to different parameter sets as opposed to single storm data with the same parameter sets. Model sensitivity to different storm events was correlated with cumulative storm power and resultant erosion volume in comparison with other features in the datasets. The results are expected to guide the selection of an event-specific dataset with various morphological and hydrodynamic factors in an area model under complex bathymetry.

The analytical and diagnostic performances of methods for detecting red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV), which infects marine fish, have not been evaluated. As disease management and transmission control depend on early and reliable pathogen detection, rapid virus detection techniques are crucial. Herein, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of a TaqMan-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that detects RSIV rapidly and accurately. The assay amplified the RSIV, infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus, and turbot reddish body iridovirus genotypes of Megalocytivirus and the detection limit was 10.96 copies/reaction. The assay’s performance remained uncompromised even in the presence of nine potential PCR inhibitors, including compounds commonly used in aquaculture. The variation of the cycle threshold values between assays performed by three technicians was evaluated using a plasmid DNA containing the major capsid protein gene sequence. The variation between replicates was low. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the developed assay were evaluated using fish samples (n = 510) and were found to be 100% and 99.60%, respectively. Two technicians evaluated the reproducibility of the assay using fish samples (n = 90), finding a high correlation of 0.998 (p

Wallace; Emiliano Esterci Ramalho; Adrian Paul Ashton Barnett; Alex Bager; Alexandre Martins Costa Lopes; et al. (Ecology, 2022)
The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer‐reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time and space. In this study, we organized and standardized camera trap records from different Amazon regions to compile the most extensive data set of inventories of mammal, bird, and reptile species ever assembled for the area. The complete data set comprises 154,123 records of 317 species (185 birds, 119 mammals, and 13 reptiles) gathered from surveys from the Amazonian portion of eight countries (Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela). The most frequently recorded species per taxa were: mammals: Cuniculus paca (11,907 records); birds: Pauxi tuberosa (3713 records); and reptiles: Tupinambis teguixin (716 records). The information detailed in this data paper opens up opportunities for new ecological studies at different spatial and temporal scales, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, climate change, and other human‐mediated defaunation processes in one of the most important and threatened tropical environments in the world. The data set is not copyright restricted; please cite this data paper when using its data in publications and we also request that researchers and educators inform us of how they are using these data.

Tissue chaperoning—the expanded functions of fetuin-A beyond inhibition of systemic calcification - Stefan Rudloff; Willi Jahnen-Dechent; Uyen Huynh-Do (Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2022)
Traditionally, fetuin-A embodies the prototype anti-calcification protein in the blood, preventing cardiovascular calcification. Low serum fetuin-A is generally associated with mineralization dysbalance and enhanced mortality in end stage renal disease. Recent evidence indicates that fetuin-A is a crucial factor moderating tissue inflammation and fibrosis, as well as a systemic indicator of acute inflammatory disease. Here, the expanded function of fetuin-A is discussed in the context of mineralization and inflammation biology. Unbalanced depletion of fetuin-A in this context may be the critical event, triggering a vicious cycle of progressive calcification, inflammation, and tissue injury. Hence, we designate fetuin-A as tissue chaperone and propose the potential use of exogenous fetuin-A as prophylactic agent or emergency treatment in conditions that are associated with acute depletion of endogenous protein.

(Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2022)
Aim Water availability is the major driver of tropical forest structure and dynamics. Most research has focused on the impacts of climatic water availability, whereas remarkably little is known about the influence of water table depth and excess soil water on forest processes. Nevertheless, given that plants take up water from the soil, the impacts of climatic water supply on plants are likely to be modulated by soil water conditions. Location Lowland Amazonian forests. Time period 1971–2019. Methods We used 344 long‐term inventory plots distributed across Amazonia to analyse the effects of long‐term climatic and edaphic water supply on forest functioning. We modelled forest structure and dynamics as a function of climatic, soil‐water and edaphic properties. Results Water supplied by both precipitation and groundwater affects forest structure and dynamics, but in different ways. Forests with a shallow water table (depth Main conclusions We show that the two extremes of water availability (excess and deficit) both reduce productivity in Amazon upland ( terra‐firme ) forests. Biomass and productivity across Amazonia respond not simply to regional climate, but rather to its interaction with water table conditions, exhibiting high local differentiation. Our study disentangles the relative contribution of those factors, helping to improve understanding of the functioning of tropical ecosystems and how they are likely to respond to climate change.

Effects of larval trematode parasitism on the reproductive capacity of Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum in a sandy-mud tidal flat on the west coast of Korea - Young-Ghan Cho; Hye-Mi Lee; Jeong-Hwa Kim; Jong-Seop Shin; Hee-Do Jeung; Kwang-Sik Choi (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Gonad intrusion of the larval trematodes often results in substantial damage to the reproductive capacity of some economically important marine bivalves. Such detrimental impacts of the larval trematode infection are observed in Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum in the coastal Yellow Sea, although the effects on the host’s reproduction are poorly understood. Accordingly, this study attempts to understand the impacts of parasitism on clam reproduction using histology. Of the 1,255 adult clams collected in early June from a tidal flat on the west coast of Korea, 68 individuals (5.4%) were infected by three different larval trematodes, including Cercaria tapidis , Cercaria pectinata , and Parvatrema duboisi . Histology revealed that the uninfected clams were in the late developing or ripe stage, exhibiting fully developed gametes in the expended follicles. In contrast, clams infected by the larval trematode showed retarded gonad maturation. Some of those clams remained sexually indifferent (13/68 infected clams) or early developing (9/68 infected clams). We categorized the infection level into uninfected (0), light (1), moderate (2), heavy (3), and very heavy (4), according to the area of sporocysts occupying the histology section. The image analysis indicated that approximately 50% of the infected clams were in “heavy” and “very heavy” conditions, and they occupied 16.7% and 26.9% of the total cross-section area, respectively. The nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis’s test and the post-hoc Tukey’s test indicated that the condition index (CI) of clams in heavy and very heavy infection were significantly lower than uninfected clams. In conclusion, the larval trematodes infected about 5.4% of the clam population in the tidal flat on the west coast of Korea, and we estimated that 32.4% of the infected clams might fail to reproduce during a spawning period due to the severe infection.

Numerical Simulation of the Locality of Erosional Damages by Storm Waves in Searching for Measures to Conserve Bonggil Beach, Korea - Jong Dae Do; Jae-Youll Jin; Byunggil Lee; Weon Mu Jeong; Jin Yong Choi; Sang Kwon Hyun; Kihyun Kim; Yeon S. Chang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Coastal erosion caused by extreme storms can reduce the value of beaches. Under the scenario of climate change, the storm intensity may increase and the resulting severe erosion can lead to disastrous damages on the beaches. Therefore, it is crucial to find appropriate measures and adaptation plans to conserve the beach from storm attacks. In this study, numerical models were applied to analyze the dune erosion in Boggil Beach, Korea, occurred by Typhoon Tapah in September 2019. Two models were used as Telemac-2D was run in larger domains for producing forcing conditions. XBeach was then applied to simulate the 2019 dune erosion after validation using observational data from a post-event field experiment performed in 2020. The model results showed reasonable agreement with the observational data except for the overestimation of erosion that was likely caused by characteristic pattern of sediment that was a mixture of sand and gravel and the accuracy of model results decreased due to the existence of gravel. The results also confirmed the locality of erosional damage by which the dune erosion was severest in the southern part of the beach. This locality was caused because the water depth was steeper in this area, which kept the wave energy in this area higher than that in the northern part. The uneven distribution of depth was induced by natural and anthropogenic causes. Three cases of model tests were performed to determine an appropriate measure to preserve the beach from future storm attacks – two were to place a submerged breakwater (SB), and one to place a submerged groin(SG). Although the SBs could directly protect the shore from erosion in the lee of the SBs, they could cause additional erosions at unexpected seabed areas. Although the SG was not the best in protecting the beach from the dune erosion, it could minimize the side effect. This measure was also environmentally friendly by keeping the sediments within the coastal cell around the SG so that the beach maintenance could be feasible through replenishment. In addition, the SG could also save the initial cost by reducing its size, and would be more effective, if the recovery process considered, because the SBs would disturb the onshore sediment motions under milder wave conditions. The results of this study can be applied for decision-making to establish future adaptation plans from storm impacts in Bonggil Beach.

Toxicological and safety evaluations of Weissella cibaria strain CMU in animal toxicity and genotoxicity - Laurie C. Dolan; Benjamin G. Arceneaux; Kyung-Hyo Do; Wan-Kyu Lee; Geun-Yeong Park; Mi-Sun Kang; Kyung-Chul Choi (Toxicological Research, 2022)
Weissella cibaria belongs to the Lactobacillaceae family and has been isolated from traditional fermented foods and saliva of children with good oral health. Previous investigations have shown that W. cibaria CMU (Chonnam Medical University) is expected to be safe based on results of in silico and in vitro analyses. However, there is a lack of studies assessing its safety in vivo. A toxicological safety evaluation of W. cibaria CMU was performed using an acute oral safety study in rats, a 14-day oral range finding study, a subsequent 13-week oral toxicity study in rats and a genetic toxicity battery (in vitro bacterial reverse mutation, in vitro chromosome aberration in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells and in vivo micronucleus study in mice). The results of the studies in rats showed that the acute lethal dose of W. cibaria CMU is > 5000 mg/kg body weight (bw)/day (1.8 × 10 9 CFU/kg bw/day) and the 14-day or 13-week no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) is 5000 mg/kg bw/day (1.8 × 10 9 CFU/kg bw/day), the highest dose administered. W. cibaria CMU was non-mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation test and non-clastogenic or aneugenic in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, the toxicological studies performed demonstrated W. cibaria CMU to be a safe strain to consume. This study is the first study examining the potential of a W. cibaria strain to cause genetic toxicity and subchronic toxicity in rats according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development guidelines.
