Functional connectivity in sympatric spiny rats reflects different dimensions of Amazonian forest‐association - Jeronymo Dalapicolla; Joyce Rodrigues do Prado; Alexandre Reis Percequillo; L. Lacey Knowles (Journal of Biogeography, 2021)
Aim Understanding how the landscape influences gene flow is important in explaining biodiversity, especially when co‐distributed taxa across heterogeneous landscapes exhibit species‐specific habitat associations. Here, we test predictions about the effects of forest‐type on population connectivity in two sympatric species of spiny rats that differ in their forest associations. Specifically, we evaluate the hypothesis that seasonal floodplain forests ( várzea ) provide linear connectivity, facilitating gene flow among individuals, while non‐flooded forests ( terra‐firme ) may diminish the functional connectivity. Location Western Amazon, South America. Taxon Proechimys simonsi (non‐flooded forests, terra‐firme ) and Proechimys steerei (seasonal floodplain forests, várzea ). Methods We analyse about 13,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms along with characterizations of landscape heterogeneity for two forest types to test for differences in the functional connectivity. Influence of the landscape and environmental variables are quantified using maximum‐likelihood population effect models to identify the relative importance of variables in explaining the gene flow. Results There are significant differences in functional connectivity between species. However, the genomic data does not support the conventional hypotheses of higher connectivity for inhabitants of várzea than those of terra‐firme . Stronger genetic structure in P. steerei than P. simonsi based on isolation by distance models suggests reduced gene flow in species associated with várzea forests. Isolation by resistance reinforces that wetland habitats inhibit and promote the functional connectivity in P. simonsi and P. steerei , respectively, although large distances along the rivers can prevent gene flow in P. steerei . Main conclusion Interpreting differences between connectivity in taxa apparent from genetic analyses through the lens of a single dimension of Amazonian heterogeneity—that is, forest type—may be an oversimplification. Our statistical modelling and fit of the data to different models points to specific environmental and habitat differences between the ecological divergent spiny rat species that may contribute to differences in the genetic structure of these sympatric taxa.

Widespread contamination of SARS‐CoV ‐2 on highly touched surfaces in Brazil during the second wave of the COVID ‐19 pandemic - Severino Jefferson Ribeiro da Silva; Jessica Catarine Frutuoso do Nascimento; Wendell Palôma Maria dos Santos Reis; Caroline Targino Alves da Silva; Poliana Gomes da Silva; Renata Pessôa Germano Mendes; Allyson Andrade Mendonça; Bárbara Nazly Rodrigues Santos; Jurandy Júnior Ferraz de Magalhães; Alain Kohl; Lindomar Pena (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Although SARS‐CoV‐2 surface contamination has been investigated in health care settings, little is known about the SARS‐CoV‐2 surface contamination in public urban areas, particularly in tropical countries. Here, we investigated the presence of SARS‐CoV‐2 on high‐touch surfaces in a large city in Brazil, one of the most affected countries by the COVID‐19 pandemic in the world. A total of 400 surface samples were collected in February 2021 in the City of Recife, Northeastern Brazil. A total of 97 samples (24.2%) tested positive for SARS‐CoV‐2 by RT‐qPCR using the CDC‐USA protocol. All the collection sites, except one (18/19, 94.7%) had at least one environmental surface sample contaminated. SARS‐CoV‐2 positivity was higher in public transport terminals (47/84, 55.9%), followed by health care units (26/84, 30.9%), beach areas (4/21, 19.0%), public parks (14/105, 13.3%), supply centre (2/21, 9.5%), and public markets (4/85, 4.7%). Toilets, ATMs, handrails, playgrounds and outdoor gyms were identified as fomites with the highest rates of SARS‐CoV‐2 detection. Taken together, our data provide a real‐world picture of SARS‐CoV‐2 dispersion in highly populated tropical areas and identify critical control points that need to be targeted to break SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission chains.

Effects of the Installation Method, Loading Condition, and Failure Mechanism on the Behavior of Suction Piles under Monotonic Horizontal Loading - Juhyung Lee; Jinung Do (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
A suction pile is a promising option when floating offshore structures are deployed at deep and distant locations. A suction pile is typically used for the foundation system of a mooring system subjected to horizontal loading with a load inclination. In this study, the effects of installation method, loading position, and load inclination on the behavior of a suction pile under monotonic horizontal loading were evaluated via large-scale soil chamber testing. A series of horizontal load tests were performed by varying the loading position at pile embedded lengths of 1/4, 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4. A horizontal load test with a load inclination of 20° was conducted and compared with that of a load inclination of 0°. The failure mechanism of the suction piles under monotonic horizontal loading was assessed via particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis. The movement of the suction pile during monotonic horizontal loading was elucidated in terms of the horizontal displacement, vertical displacement, and rotation angle. The results of this study show apparent differences between jacking and suction-installed piles and piles under different loading conditions. The PIV analysis shows that the rotational behavior under monotonic horizontal loading can be a critical point to affect the horizontal resistance of the suction pile.

Sand Net Device to Control the Meanders of a Coastal River: The Case of the Authie Estuary (France) - Anh T. K. Do; Nicolas Huybrechts; Philippe Sergent (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The Authie estuary is characterized by an important southern sand spit and a northern shoreline subject to strong erosion due to the meandering of the coastal river. In order to reduce this erosion, a new soft coastal defence, namely the sand net device (SND), has been implemented inside the Authie estuary. It consists of several nets assembled in an inverted V creating a porous structure and thus trapping sand as shoreline protection. However up to now, little proof has been provided on the explicit influence of this SND on the hydrodynamic pattern and associated morphodynamics. In this paper, field surveys of morphological developments combined with numerical modelling (Telemac-2D/3D) analyze the influence of the SND into flow pattern and morphodynamics. In situ monitoring clearly points out sedimentation around the SND and a deepening of the main channel. Modelling results show that, without SND, erosion is observed around its location. With a SND implemented, the velocity has been reduced and created a deviation in its direction by a circulation around the SND location. The impact area of the structure is around 500 m in both directions, upstream and downstream part.

Light Induced Changes in Pigment and Lipid Profiles of Bryopsidales Algae - Chiara E. Giossi; Sónia Cruz; Felisa Rey; Rúben Marques; Tânia Melo; Maria do Rosário Domingues; Paulo Cartaxana (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Bryopsidales (Chlorophyta) are cultured and consumed in several regions of the planet and are known for their high nutritional value and bioprospection potential, due to a high content of relevant polar lipids and polysaccharides. Among other characteristic features, these marine algae are known for possessing unique photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes and for the absence (in nearly all species investigated) of a functional xanthophyll cycle, a ubiquitous photoprotection mechanism present in most algae and plants. With the aim of characterizing the photophysiology of this atypical group of algae, we investigated the changes in pigment content and polar lipidome of two Bryopsidales species ( Codium tomentosum and Bryopsis plumosa ) exposed for 7 days to low or high irradiance (20 vs. 1,000 μmol photons m –2 s –1 ). Our results show that high light has a strong effect on the pigment composition, triggering the time-dependent accumulation of all- trans -neoxanthin ( t -Neo) and violaxanthin (Viola). High light-acclimated macroalgae also displayed a shift in the characteristic polar lipidome, including a trend of accumulation of lyso-glycolipids, and highly unsaturated phospholipids and betaine lipids. We hypothesize that the observed shifts on the lipid composition could promote the interaction between t -Neo and Viola with the siphonaxanthin–chlorophyll–protein complexes (SCP) of photosystem II (PSII) within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. Light induced changes in pigment and lipid composition could contribute to the fitness of Bryopsidales algae by reducing damages to the photosynthetic apparatus under increased irradiance.

Characterization of a landslide-triggered debris flow at a rainforest-covered mountain region in Brazil - Victor Carvalho Cabral; Fábio Augusto Gomes Vieira Reis; Fernando Mazo D’Affonseca; Ana Lucía; Claudia Vanessa dos Santos Corrêa; Vinicius Veloso; Marcelo Fischer Gramani; Agostinho Tadashi Ogura; Andrea Fregolente Lazaretti; Felipe Vemado; Augusto José Pereira Filho; Claudia Cristina dos Santos; et al. (Natural Hazards, 2021)
Debris flows represent great hazard to humans due to their high destructive power. Understanding their hydrogeomorphic dynamics is fundamental in hazard assessment studies, especially in subtropical and tropical regions where debris flows have scarcely been studied when compared to other mass-wasting processes. Thus, this study aims at systematically analyzing the meteorological and geomorphological factors that characterize a landslide-triggered debris flow at the Pedra Branca catchment (Serra do Mar, Brazil), to quantify the debris flow’s magnitude, peak discharge and velocity. A magnitude comparison with empirical equations (Italian Alps, Taiwan, Serra do Mar) is also conducted. The meteorological analysis is based on satellite data and rain gauge measurements, while the geomorphological characterization is based on terrestrial and aerial investigations, with high spatial resolution. The results indicate that it was a large-sized stony debris flow, with a total magnitude of 120,195 m 3 , a peak discharge of 2146.7 m 3 s −1 and a peak velocity of 26.5 m s −1 . The debris flow was triggered by a 188-mm rainfall in 3 h (maximum intensity of 128 mm h −1 ), with an estimated return period of 15 to 20 years, which, combined with the intense accumulation of on-channel debris (ca. 37,000 m 3 ), indicates that new high-magnitude debris flows in the catchment and the region are likely to occur within the next two decades. The knowledge of the potential frequency and magnitude ( F – M ) can support the creation of F – M relationships for Serra do Mar, a prerequisite for reliable hazard management and monitoring programs.

The two‐component system RstAB regulates production of a polysaccharide capsule with a role in virulence in the marine pathogen Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae - Xosé M. Matanza; Laura López‐Suárez; Ana do Vale; Carlos R. Osorio (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary The marine bacterium Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae ( Pdd ) causes disease in marine animals and humans. Previous studies demonstrated that mutation of the two‐component system RstAB strongly impacts virulence of this pathogen, but the RstAB regulon has not been thoroughly elucidated. We here compared the transcriptomes of Pdd RM‐71 and Δ rstA and Δ rstB derivatives using RNA‐seq. In accordance with previous studies, RstAB positively regulated cytotoxins Dly, PhlyP and PhlyC. This analysis also demonstrated a positive regulation of outer membrane proteins, resistance against antimicrobials and potential virulence factors by this system. Remarkably, RstAB positively regulated two hitherto uncharacterised gene clusters involved in the synthesis of a polysaccharide capsule. Presence of a capsular layer in wild‐type cells was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, whereas rstA and rstB mutants were non‐capsulated. Mutants for capsule synthesis genes, wza and wzc exhibited acapsular phenotypes, were impaired in resistance against the bactericidal action of fish serum and mucus, and were strongly impaired in virulence for fish, indicating a major role of capsule in virulence. Collectively, this study demonstrates that RstAB is a major positive regulator of key virulence factors including a polysaccharide capsule essential for full virulence in a pathogenic Photobacterium .

Intelligent Buoy System (INBUS): Automatic Lifting Observation System for Macrotidal Coastal Waters - Jae-Youll Jin; Jong Dae Do; Jin-Soon Park; Jun Seok Park; Byunggil Lee; Sung-Doo Hong; Sung-Ju Moon; Keun Choon Hwang; Yeon S. Chang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The west coast of South Korea is characterized by a wide macrotidal area with a maximum tidal range of ∼10 m. The sea surface elevation varies with the tidal phase, which leads to significant changes in the vertical structure of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the water column, especially when the interaction by waves and/or the freshwater and sediment input from the river increases. Under such conditions, it is difficult to carry out continuous and consistent measurements of the vertical structures of the water qualities using a conventional observation system that is fixed to the seabed or sea surface because the thickness of the water column constantly changes. Based on the demand for long-term observations of the vertical structures of the water properties in macrotidal environments, the Intelligent Buoy System (INBUS) was developed by the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST). INBUS is a buoy equipped with an instrument frame, which is similar to other buoys that are fixed to the sea surface. During every measurement, INBUS detects the water depth and sends the frame down to the seabed to measure the water quality at every vertical level set up in the system. For example, if N levels are set in INBUS, the water depth of each measurement is divided by N layers and the instruments in the lifting frame measure the water properties of each of the N layers while they are descending to the bottom. Based on this procedure, the vertical structure of the water column is consistently measured in N layers regardless of changes of the water depth due to tides and waves. The lifting and measuring process is automatically controlled by INBUS once it is set up in the system. In addition, because INBUS allows bidirectional communication through code division multiple access (CDMA), the system can be controlled by stations on land. If the CDMA communication becomes inoperable owing to extreme wave conditions or the buoy is lost because of incidents such as a collision with a ship, the location of INBUS can be tracked by low-earth-orbit satellites.

Tandem communication improves ant foraging success in a highly competitive tropical habitat - S. M. Glaser; R. M. Feitosa; A. Koch; N. Goß; F. S. do Nascimento; C. Grüter (Insectes Sociaux, 2021)
Tropical ants experience intense intra- and interspecific competition for food sources, which influences their activity pattern and foraging strategies. Even though different ant species can coexist through spatial and temporal niche partitioning, direct competition for food cannot be avoided. Recruitment communication is assumed to help colonies to monopolize and exploit food sources successfully, but this has rarely been tested under field conditions. We studied if recruitment communication helps colonies of the Neotropical ant Pachycondyla harpax to be more successful in a highly competitive tropical environment. Additionally, we explored if temporal and spatial niche differentiation helps focal colonies to avoid competition. Pachycondyla harpax competed with dozens of ant species for food. Mass-recruiting competitors were often successful in displacing P. harpax from food baits. However, when foragers of P. harpax were able to recruit nestmates they had a 4-times higher probability to keep access to the food baits. Colonies were unlikely to be displaced during our observations after a few ants arrived at the food source. Competition was more intense after sunset, but a disproportionate increase in activity after sunset allowed focal colonies to exploit food sources more successfully after sunset. Our results support the hypothesis that recruitment communication helps colonies to monopolize food sources by helping them to establish a critical mass of nestmates at large resources. This indicates that even species with a small colony size and a slow recruitment method, such as tandem running, benefit from recruitment communication in a competitive environment.

Physiological responses and cycle characteristics during double-poling versus diagonal-stride roller-skiing in junior cross-country skiers - Erik P. Andersson; Irina Hämberg; Paulo Cesar Do Nascimento Salvador; Kerry McGawley (European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2021)
Purpose This study aimed to compare physiological factors and cycle characteristics during cross-country (XC) roller-skiing at matched inclines and speeds using the double-poling (DP) and diagonal-stride (DS) sub-techniques in junior female and male XC skiers. Methods Twenty-three well-trained junior XC skiers (11 women, 12 men; age 18.2 ± 1.2 yr.) completed two treadmill roller-skiing tests in a randomized order using either DP or DS. The exercise protocols were identical and included a 5 min warm-up, 4 × 5 min submaximal stages, and an incremental test to exhaustion, all performed at a 5° incline. Results No significant three-way interactions were observed between sex, submaximal exercise intensity, and sub-technique. For the pooled sample, higher values were observed for DP versus DS during submaximal exercise for the mean oxygen uptake kinetics response time (33%), energy cost (18%), heart rate (HR) (9%), blood lactate concentration (5.1 versus 2.1 mmol·L −1 ), rating of perceived exertion (12%), and cycle rate (25%), while cycle length was lower (19%) (all P < 0.001). During the time-to-exhaustion (TTE) test, peak oxygen uptake ( $$\dot{V}$$ V ˙ O 2 peak), peak HR, and peak oxygen pulse were 8%, 2%, and 6% lower, respectively, for DP than DS, with a 29% shorter TTE during DP (pooled data, all P < 0.001). Conclusion In well-trained junior XC skiers, DP was found to exert a greater physiological load than DS during uphill XC roller-skiing at submaximal intensities. During the TTE test, both female and male athletes were able to ski for longer and reached markedly higher $$\dot{V}$$ V ˙ O 2 peak values when using DS compared to DP.

Evidence of feminization in seahorses from a tropical estuary - Natalie Villar Freret‐Meurer; Amanda do Carmo Vaccani; Gabriela dos Santos Cabiró (Journal of Fish Biology, 2021)
Intersex has been reported regularly in wild populations of gonochoristic fish. The authors investigated the possible feminization of seahorses in a population of Hippocampus reidi in Brazil, as well as report a case of a brood pouch reduction after reproductive stimuli. The female seahorses of this population showed two kinds of morphological anomalies. The proportion of the animals affected in the study population was consistent and was uncorrelated with the sex ratio. The study indicates the changes in the sexual profile of the individual.

Ocean and Atmospheric Observations at the Remote Ieodo Ocean Research Station in the Northern East China Sea - Do-Seong Byun; Jin-Yong Jeong; Duk-jin Kim; Sungmin Hong; Kyu-Tae Lee; Kitack Lee (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
For open ocean environments, it is rare to find continuous, simultaneous air and sea observation records due to the challenges of instrument installation and maintenance. The Ieodo Ocean Research Station (Ieodo ORS), a remote ocean site located in the northern East China Sea with its harsh oceanic and atmospheric environment, provides a platform for the concurrent monitoring of air and sea environments. Since 2014, the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency has run the “ Ieodo ORS field trip program ,” via which researchers are able to stay at the station for a week or more. This work reports technical lessons learned over 5 years from five Ieodo ORS research projects launched in 2016. Over the course of these projects, Ieodo ORS has monitored sea surface temperature, temperature and salinity in the water column, seawater pH, air pollutants, and solar radiation. The purpose of this paper is to facilitate the success of future research activities in similar environments by sharing our experiences and “best practices.”

Process-Based Model Prediction of Coastal Dune Erosion through Parametric Calibration - Hyeok Jin; Kideok Do; Sungwon Shin; Daniel Cox (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Coastal dunes are important morphological features for both ecosystems and coastal hazard mitigation. Because understanding and predicting dune erosion phenomena is very important, various numerical models have been developed to improve the accuracy. In the present study, a process-based model (XBeachX) was tested and calibrated to improve the accuracy of the simulation of dune erosion from a storm event by adjusting the coefficients in the model and comparing it with the large-scale experimental data. The breaker slope coefficient was calibrated to predict cross-shore wave transformation more accurately. To improve the prediction of the dune erosion profile, the coefficients related to skewness and asymmetry were adjusted. Moreover, the bermslope coefficient was calibrated to improve the simulation performance of the bermslope near the dune face. Model performance was assessed based on the model-data comparisons. The calibrated XBeachX successfully predicted wave transformation and dune erosion phenomena. In addition, the results obtained from other two similar experiments on dune erosion with the same calibrated set matched well with the observed wave and profile data. However, the prediction of underwater sand bar evolution remains a challenge.

Low-Level Environmental Heavy Metals are Associated with Obesity Among Postmenopausal Women in a Southern State - Shelbie Stahr; Tung-chin Chiang; Michael A. Bauer; Gail A. Runnells; Lora J. Rogers; Huyen Vi Do; Susan A. Kadlubar; L. Joseph Su (Exposure and Health, 2021)
Both arsenic and cadmium are reported to be toxic to humans. The use of saliva as a biomarker of low-level exposures to these elements has not been adequately explored, and the putative relationship between exposure and obesity is unclear. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the relationship between salivary arsenic and cadmium concentrations and their association with obesity. Arsenic and cadmium concentrations were analyzed in human saliva samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry on 270 randomly selected women who participated in the Arkansas Rural Community Health Study. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between heavy metal concentrations and obesity. Stratified logistic regression was performed based on menopausal status. Generalized linear models were used to evaluate weight gain velocity. Significant positive associations were observed in postmenopausal women for both arsenic (OR = 4.43, 95% CI 1.91–10.28) and cadmium (OR = 2.72, 95% CI 1.23–5.99) concentrations, as well as significant trends among tertiles ( p < 0.01 and p = 0.01, respectively). No relationship with obesity was evident among premenopausal women for either metal. A dose–response relationship was observed between increasing weight gain velocity and increasing metal concentrations. At concentrations well below governmental and industrial standards for acute toxicity, significant associations between obesity and concentration of these heavy metals are evident. The rate at which individuals gain weight is affected by metal concentrations and may play a role in the rapid increase in weight in postmenopausal women. These results might explain, in part, the missing variability in the increasing obesity pandemic in certain population exposed to these environmental toxicants.

Aim There is little consensus on which environmental variables are best at predicting multiple dimensions of diversity. We ask whether there are common environmental correlates of diversity, despite ecological differences, across nine clades of plants and animals distributed along a single rainforest domain. For that, we compare the environmental correlates of species richness, phylogenetic diversity, and phylogenetic endemism. Location Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Taxon: Five clades of plants (Bromelioideae, Miconieae, Bertolonia , Cambessedesieae, and the Fridericia and allies) and four clades of animals (butterlies in the tribe Ithomiini, frogs in the genera Boana and Proceratophrys , and birds in the subfamily Thraupinae). Methods Using curated occurrence localities and phylogenetic data, we generated maps of (a) species richness, (b) phylogenetic diversity, (c) residuals of phylogenetic diversity regressed on species richness, and (d) phylogenetic endemism for all groups. We also compiled a set of 30 environmental descriptors, including records of current temperature and precipitation, climatic stability over time, and topography. Through a machine learning framework, we explored the environmental correlates of each of these diversity measures for each group. Results The environmental variables used here were strong predictors of diversity for all studied groups. However, models for phylogenetic endemism had lower predictive power. Although patterns of diversity are different among groups, correlates of diversity are consistent across taxa. For both species richness and phylogenetic diversity, current precipitation and precipitation stability over time were consistently ranked among the variables that strongly correlate with diversity patterns. The correlates of phylogenetic endemism were less homogeneous across groups. The results suggest that including climate stability over time is important when predicting diversity measures that reflect historical components. Main conclusions Investigating environmental correlates of diversity for multiple clades and diversity measures in a single geographic area allows for a better understanding of common patterns across taxa. This study shows that environmental conditions, particularly precipitation, are good predictors of the patterns of species richness and phylogenetic diversity‐but not phylogenetic endemism‐across different Atlantic Forest groups.

Spatial Interpolation of Gauge Measured Rainfall Using Compressed Sensing - Soorok Ryu; Joon Jin Song; Yongku Kim; Sung-Hwa Jung; Younghae Do; GyuWon Lee (Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, 2021)
In this work, we suggest new spatial precipitation interpolation schemes using compressed sensing (CS), which is a new framework for signal acquisition and smart sensor design. Using CS, the precipitation maps are recovered in high resolution by obtaining sparse coefficients of radial basis functions(RBFs). Two types of methods are designed according to the construction methods of CS matrix. In the first type, the CS matrix is derived as the product of an m × n ( n ≫ m ) weights matrix of inverse distance weighting (IDW) and an n × n radial basis function (RBF) matrix. The second type of CS matrix consists of an m × n RBF matrix that depends on a few observation vectors and a number of n unknown vectors. The advantage of the proposed CS methods is that it can be represented at a high resolution because it is interpolated based on a large number of bases (or degrees of freedom). This prevents the variance value from being much smaller than the actual value due to interpolation using a few observation scales. To test our CS interpolation schemes, interpolation results were compared with IDW, Ordinary Kriging (OK) and RBF interpolation methods for analytic test function and some actual rainfall data. In the case of an analytic test function, when the proposed method is compared at high resolution, the error from the true value is the smallest. In real rainfall data, comparison with real values is not possible at high resolutions, but the error with the observed data is the smallest in terms of ‘spatial variogram’. In addition, the proposed CS method generates hight resolution data from rainfall cases, showing promising results when identifying peaks.

Recent divergence and lack of shared phylogeographic history characterize the diversification of neotropical savanna birds - Paul van Els; Eugenia Zarza; Lucas Rocha Moreira; Valentina Gómez‐Bahamón; Antonita Santana; Alexandre Aleixo; Camila C. Ribas; Périces Sena do Rêgo; Marcos Pérsio Dantas Santos; Kristof Zyskowski; Richard O. Prum; Jacob Berv (Journal of Biogeography, 2021)
Aim Neotropical savanna birds occur north and south of, but mostly not in the Amazon Basin, except for a few isolated savanna patches. Here, we investigate the phylogeography of 23 taxa of Neotropical savanna birds co‐distributed across multiple isolated savanna patches to assess to what extent these species have a shared history of spatial diversification. We explore the role of the forested Amazon Basin as a vicariant barrier separating northern and southern populations, particularly focusing on the role of the coastal savannas of Amapá as a potential corridor of gene flow between northern and southern populations. Location Neotropical savannas. Taxon Aves. Method We employ 775 mtDNA samples of 24 co‐distributed savanna bird taxa from all major savanna patches in South America to infer phylogeographic patterns. For this purpose, we use 24 genomic samples (UCEs) of a subset of 12 taxa in addition to the mtDNA samples to estimate timing of divergence across the Amazon Basin. We use phylogeographic concordance factors (PCF) to assess the level of phylogeographic congruence across co‐distributed taxa. Finally, we assess to which level physical distance drives genetic structuring by estimating isolation‐by‐distance (IBD) effects. Results We find that although the study taxa generally do not share similar diversification patterns geographically, many have at least two distinct genetic groups, one north and one south of the Amazon Basin, that have only recently diverged. The timing of divergence between both areas is generally centered in the late Pleistocene, but somewhat variable, indicating there is no single vicariant event responsible for driving diversification. Main conclusions Variability in divergence times indicates that landscape processes have not led to shared phylogeographic responses, which indicates a relatively minor role for vicariance. Shallow divergences suggest that Neotropical grassland habitats may have recently been more connected or that gene flow has played an important role. We did not find evidence of a single dominant corridor of dispersal between savannas north and south of the forested Amazon Basin.

Operational Analysis of Container Ships by Using Maritime Big Data - Min-Jae Oh; Myung-Il Roh; Sung-Woo Park; Do-Hyun Chun; Myeong-Jo Son; Jeong-Youl Lee (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The shipping company or the operator determines the mode of operation of a ship. In the case of container ships, there may be various operating patterns employed to arrive at the destination within the stipulated time. In addition, depending on the influence of the ocean’s environmental conditions, the speed and the route can be changed. As the ship’s fuel oil consumption is closely related to its operational pattern, it is possible to identify the most economical operations by analyzing the operational patterns of the ships. The operational records of each shipping company are not usually disclosed, so it is necessary to estimate the operational characteristics from publicly available data such as the automatic identification system (AIS) data and ocean environment data. In this study, we developed a visualization program to analyze the AIS data and ocean environmental conditions together and propose two categories of applications for the operational analysis of container ships using maritime big data. The first category applications are the past operation analysis by tracking previous trajectories, and the second category applications are the speed pattern analysis by shipping companies and shipyards under harsh environmental conditions. Thus, the operational characteristics of container ships were evaluated using maritime big data.
