Key message Seventy-three QTL related to grain color and tannin content were identified in Chinese sorghum accessions, and a new recessive allelic variant of TAN2 gene was discovered. Abstract Sorghum is mainly used for brewing distilled liquors in China. Since grain tannins play an important role in liquor brewing, accurately understanding the relationship between grain color and tannin content can provide basis for selection standards of tannin sorghum . We resequenced a panel of 242 Chinese sorghum accessions and performed population structure and genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify quantitative trait locus (QTL) affecting pericarp color, testa pigment, and tannin content. Phylogenetic analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and admixture model were used to infer population structure. Two distinct genetic sub-populations were identified according to their corresponding northern and southern geographic origin. To investigate the genetic basis of natural variation in sorghum grain color, GWAS with 2,760,264 SNPs was conducted in four environments using multiple models (Blink, FarmCPU, GLM, and MLM). Seventy-three QTL were identified to be associated for the color of exocarp, mesocarp, testa, and tannin content on all chromosomes except chromosome 5, of which 47 might be novel QTL. Some important QTL were found to colocalize with orthologous genes in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway from other plants, including orthologous of Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana ) TT2 , TT7 , TT12 , TT16 and AT5G41220 ( GST ), as well as orthologous of rice ( Oryza sativa ) MYB61 and OsbHLH025 . Our investigation of the variation in grain color and tannin content in Chinese sorghum germplasm may help guide future sorghum breeding for liquor brewing.

Enhancement of seaweed polysaccharides (fucoidan and laminarin) on the phagocytosis of macrophages via activation of intelectin in blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) - Hongping Li; Yunlong Liu; Yuting Teng; Yancui Zheng; Minying Zhang; Xu Wang; Hanliang Cheng; Jianhe Xu; Xiangning Chen; Xiaoheng Zhao; Zhujin Ding (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Fucoidan and laminarin are polymolecular compounds that extracted from seaweed. As functional polysaccharides, they possess various biological functions such as immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antioxidant bioactivities. Fucoidan and laminarin modulate host immune responses by activating immune cells (macrophages, neutrophils, T lymphocytes) and inducing the expression of cytokines ( TNFα , IL-1β , IL-6 , IL-8 , NF-κB ). Intelectin is a novel lectin that plays important roles in bacterial agglutination and bactericidal effects by recognizing the polysaccharide components on the cell surface of pathogens, which can also enhance the phagocytosis of macrophages. The present study intends to explore the immunomodulatory effects of fucoidan, laminarin and intelectin on the macrophages of Megalobrama amblycephala . The results showed that the incubation of both fucoidan and laminarin at the concentration of 100 μg/mL for 4 h could enhance the phagocytic capacity of M. amblycephala macrophages, which also showed remodeled cytoskeleton with extended pseudopodia. In addition, fucoidan and laminarin could induce the expression of M. amblycephala intelectin (MaINTL) in the primary hepatocytes and macrophages, and the recombinant MaINTL (rMaINTL) could bind with fucoidan and laminarin. Furthermore, fucoidan and laminarin induced the expression of cytoskeletal remodeling related genes in the primary M. amblycephala macrophages, such as Rac1 and WASP , which should contribute to the enhancement of seaweed polysaccharides (fucoidan and laminarin) and MaINTL on the phagocytosis of M. amblycephala macrophages. However, even though fucoidan and laminarin could induced the expression of CXCL8 , while the chemotaxis of M. amblycephala macrophages on neutrophils was not affected by them. These findings suggested that fucoidan and laminarin enhanced the phagocytic capacity of M. amblycephala macrophages via activation of MaINTL and up-regulation of the expression of downstream cytoskeletal remodeling related genes Rac1 and WASP . Therefore, fucoidan and laminarin could be used as immune enhancers to improve host immunity and disease resistance in M. amblycephala , which provided novel insights into the prevention and protection of fish bacterial diseases.

To explore the relationship between cognitive function and blood–brain barrier leakage in non-brain metastasis lung cancer and healthy controls. 75 lung cancers without brain metastasis and 29 healthy controls matched with age, sex, and education were evaluated by cognitive assessment, and the Patlak pharmacokinetic model was used to calculate the average leakage in each brain region according to the automated anatomical labeling atlas. After that, the relationships between cognitive and blood–brain barrier leakage were evaluated. Compared with healthy controls, the leakage of bilateral temporal gyrus and whole brain gyrus were higher in patients with lung cancers ( P < 0.05), mainly in patients with advanced lung cancer ( P < 0.05), but not in patients with early lung cancer ( P > 0.05). The cognitive impairment of advanced lung cancers was mainly reflected in the damage of visuospatial/executive, and delayed recall. The left temporal gyrus with increased blood–brain barrier leakage showed negative correlations with delayed recall (r = -0.201, P = 0.042). An increase in blood–brain barrier leakage was found in non-brain metastases advanced lung cancers that corresponded to decreased delayed recall. With progression in lung cancer staging, blood–brain barrier shows higher leakage and may lead to brain metastases and lower cognitive development.

Variational Bayesian Inference Time Delay Estimation for Passive Sonars - Feilong Ding; Cheng Chi; Yu Li; Haining Huang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
In passive sonars, distance and depth estimation of underwater targets is often limited by the accuracy of time delay estimations. The estimation accuracy of the existing methods of time delay estimation is limited by the uniform discrete grid (signal sampling rate). When a true time delay is out of the grid, the estimation accuracy deteriorates due to the mismatch between the real-time delay and the discrete grid. This paper proposes a new method for time delay estimation, which realizes the time delay estimation under the framework of variational Bayesian inference. The proposed method is grid-less, that is, continuous in the time domain. Unlike the popular grid-less compressive time delay estimation method, this method does not require parameter adjustment, and can automatically estimate the number of time delays, noise variance, and amplitude variance. The simulation results showed that the performance of the proposed method was superior to the reference state-of-the-art time delay estimation methods.

Development and Influence of Pore Pressure around a Bucket Foundation in Silty Soil - Xue-Liang Zhao; Xin Wang; Peng-Cheng Ding; Shu-Huan Sui; Wen-Ni Deng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Silty soil is common in the seabed of eastern coastal areas of China. The behaviors of the silty soil and a bucket foundation installed within it need more study. In this work, model tests of a bucket foundation in silty soil were performed. The development of the excess pore water pressures in the different positions around the bucket was measured. Different loading conditions, with a change in the horizontal cyclic load amplitude ratio, horizontal cyclic frequency, and vertical load ratio, were considered. The effects of the pore water pressure on the shear strength of the soil around the bucket and the horizontal bearing capacity of the bucket foundation were investigated. The results show that the normalized pore water pressures close to the bucket wall at depths between 0.1 L and 0.3 L exhibit distinct change under the cyclic load. Consistent with the distribution of the pore water pressure, the degradation of the undrained shear strength is more obvious with a greater load amplitude ratio, a greater load frequency, and a smaller vertical load. The degradation rate of the static horizontal ultimate bearing capacity is in a range of 1.57% to 14.90%, under different loading conditions.

Predicting the Motion of a USV Using Support Vector Regression with Mixed Kernel Function - Pengfei Xu; Qingbo Cao; Yalin Shen; Meiya Chen; Yanxu Ding; Hongxia Cheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Predicting the maneuvering motion of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) plays an important role in intelligent applications. To more precisely predict this empirically, this study proposes a method based on the support vector regression with a mixed kernel function (MK-SVR) combined with the polynomial kernel (PK) function and radial basis function (RBF). A mathematical model of the maneuvering of the USV was established and subjected to a zig-zag test on the DW-uBoat USV platform to obtain the test data. Cross-validation was used to optimize the parameters of SVR and determine suitable weight coefficients in the MK function to ensure the adaptive adjustment of the proposed method. The PK-SVR, RBF-SVR, and MK-SVR methods were used to identify the dynamics of the USV and build the corresponding predictive models. A comparison of the results of the predictions with experimental data confirmed the limitations of the SVR with a single kernel function in terms of forecasting different parameters of motion of the USV while verifying the validity of the MK-SVR based on data collected from a full-scale test. The results show that the MK-SVR method combines the advantages of the local and global kernel functions to offer a better predictive performance and generalization ability than SVR based on the nuclear kernel function. The purpose of this manuscript is to propose a novel method of dynamics identification for USV, which can help us establish a more precise USV dynamic model to design and verify an excellent motion controller.

Experimental Investigation of the Dynamic Behavior of Submerged Floating Tunnels under Regular Wave Conditions - Fang Wang; Ke Li; Bo Huang; Liang Cheng; Hao Ding (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Submerged floating tunnels (SFTs) are an innovative traffic structure for transportation in deep and long-distance ocean environments. SFTs have the risk of being subjected to wave action in the complex ocean environment. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and stability of SFTs during their service, the dynamic behavior of an SFT subjected to the action of waves is experimentally investigated in this study. Based on the wave–current flume, a physical scale-model experiment of an SFT for studying the dynamic behavior of an SFT subjected to regular waves interactions is deeply and thoroughly explored. The results show that the wave outputs from the wave-making system are verified to be reliable. The influence of major load parameters on the dynamic behavior of the SFT are deeply and thoroughly explored. The effects of wave height and wave period on acceleration, wave pressure, anchor cable force and displacement in an SFT are discussed. This experimental study has theoretical and practical significant for SFT design and safety.

QTL mapping for adult plant resistance to wheat stripe rust in M96-5 × Guixie 3 wheat population - Bin Cheng; Xu Gao; Ning Cao; Yanqing Ding; Tianqing Chen; Qiang Zhou; Yu Gao; Zhihai Xin; Liyi Zhang (Journal of Applied Genetics, 2022)
Development of cultivars with multiple resistances has proven to be an effective way to prevent diseases in wheat breeding. The Guixie 3 variety (GX3) has shown excellent performance in resistance to stripe rust in field for many years. The purpose of this study was to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance to stripe rust in the adult plant stage and determine closely linked molecular markers. A population of recombinant inbred lines ( n = 228) was derived from a cross between the susceptible landrace Mian 96–5 (M96-5) and GX3 variety and evaluated in multiple field studies, and QTL analysis enabled to elucidate genetic architecture of wheat resistance to stripe rust. A total of 19 QTL for stripe rust resistance were mapped on 12 chromosomes using phenotypic data from multiple field tests over the course of 6 years. These chromosomes included 1B (2), 1D (2), 2A (2), 2B (2), 2D (1), 4B (2), 4D (1), 5A (3), 5B (1), 6A (1), 6B (1), and 7B (1). Two stable QTL on chromosomes 2AS ( Qyr.gaas.2A ) and 6AL ( Qyr.gaas.6A ) were detected in six and five different environments, respectively; in both QTL, positive allele was contributed by GX3 variety. Qyr.gaas.2A was found to be crucial for increasing adult plant resistance, which may explain the large phenotypic variation of 45.52%. Our results provide theoretical and molecular insight for wheat breeding and suggest the cloning of genes associated with the GX3 variety may be beneficial in future studies.

Experimental Investigation of Wave-Induced Forces on a Large Quasi-Elliptical Cylinder during Extreme Events - Zhiying Yang; Hao Ding; Ke Li; Liang Cheng; Bo Huang; Qingyang Ren (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Large quasi-elliptical cylinders are extensively used in ocean engineering. To enhance a better understanding of the hydrodynamic wave force on such quasi-elliptical cylinders during extreme events, a series of experiments on extreme wave interaction with a quasi-elliptical cylinder were conducted. A series of waves with various wave heights, wave periods, and wave incident directions were tested to investigate the wave parameter effect and wave directionality effect on the wave forces on the quasi-elliptical structure. The experimental results indicate that the extreme wave-induced forces on the quasi-elliptical cylinder are strongly correlated to the wave period and wave incident direction. The peak forces on the quasi-elliptical model do not vary monotonically with the increasing wave period but show an increase followed by a decrease. Both the longitudinal and transversal forces are significantly increased when the wave incident direction changes from 0° to 45° and the wave directionality effect is enhanced when the wave period is decreased. Additionally, the inertial force equation was applied to the wave force estimation for such quasi-elliptical cylinders, and the inertia coefficient CM was fitted based on the experimental results of α = 0°.

Influence of the NAO on Wintertime Surface Air Temperature over East Asia: Multidecadal Variability and Decadal Prediction - Jianping Li; Tiejun Xie; Xinxin Tang; Hao Wang; Cheng Sun; Juan Feng; Fei Zheng; Ruiqiang Ding (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2022)
In this paper, we investigate the influence of the winter NAO on the multidecadal variability of winter East Asian surface air temperature (EASAT) and EASAT decadal prediction. The observational analysis shows that the winter EASAT and East Asian minimum SAT (EAmSAT) display strong in-phase fluctuations and a significant 60–80-year multidecadal variability, apart from a long-term warming trend. The winter EASAT experienced a decreasing trend in the last two decades, which is consistent with the occurrence of extremely cold events in East Asia winters in recent years. The winter NAO leads the detrended winter EASAT by 12–18 years with the greatest significant positive correlation at the lead time of 15 years. Further analysis shows that ENSO may affect winter EASAT interannual variability, but does not affect the robust lead relationship between the winter NAO and EASAT. We present the coupled oceanic-atmospheric bridge (COAB) mechanism of the NAO influences on winter EASAT multidecadal variability through its accumulated delayed effect of ∼15 years on the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and Africa–Asia multidecadal teleconnection (AAMT) pattern. An NAO-based linear model for predicting winter decadal EASAT is constructed on the principle of the COAB mechanism, with good hindcast performance. The winter EASAT for 2020–34 is predicted to keep on fluctuating downward until ∼2025, implying a high probability of occurrence of extremely cold events in coming winters in East Asia, followed by a sudden turn towards sharp warming. The predicted 2020/21 winter EASAT is almost the same as the 2019/20 winter.

Assessment of the importance of increasing temperature and decreasing soil moisture on global ecosystem productivity using solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence - Chaoya Dang; Zhenfeng Shao; Xiao Huang; Jiaxin Qian; Gui Cheng; Qing Ding; Yewen Fan (Global Change Biology, 2022)
The accurate assessment of the global gross primary productivity (GPP) of vegetation is the key to estimating the global carbon cycle. Temperature (Ts) and soil moisture (SM) are essential for vegetation growth. It is acknowledged that the global Ts has shown an increasing trend, yet SM has shown a decreasing trend. However, the importance of SM and Ts changes on the productivity of global ecosystems remains unclear, as SM and Ts are strongly coupled through soil‐atmosphere interactions. Using solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) as a proxy for GPP and by decoupling SM and Ts changes, our investigation shows Ts plays a more important role in SIF in 60% of the vegetation areas. Overall, increased Ts promotes SIF by mitigating the resistance from SM’s reduction. However, the importance of SM and Ts varies, given different vegetation types. The results show that in the humid zone, the variation of Ts plays a more important role in SIF, but in the arid and semi‐arid zones, the variation of SM plays a more important role; in the semi‐humid zone, the disparity in the importance of SM and Ts is difficult to unravel. In addition, our results suggest that SIF is very sensitive to aridity gradients in arid and semi‐arid ecosystems. By decoupling the intertwined SM‐Ts impact on SIF, our study provides essential evidence that benefits future investigation on the factors the influence ecosystem productivity at regional or global scales.

Complete Coverage Path Planning of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle Based on a Complete Coverage Neural Network Algorithm - Peng-Fei Xu; Yan-Xu Ding; Jia-Cheng Luo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
In practical applications, an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) generally employs a task of complete coverage path planning for exploration in a target area of interest. The biological inspired neural network (BINN) algorithm has been extensively employed in path planning of mobile robots, recently. In this paper, a complete coverage neural network (CCNN) algorithm for the path planning of a USV is proposed for the first time. By simplifying the calculation process of the neural activity, the CCNN algorithm can significantly reduce calculation time. To improve coverage efficiency and make the path more regular, the optimal next position decision formula combined with the covering direction term is established. The CCNN algorithm has increased moving directions of the path in grid maps, which in turn has further reduced turning-angles and makes the path smoother. Besides, an improved A* algorithm that can effectively decrease path turns is presented to escape the deadlock. Simulations are carried out in different environments in this work. The results show that the coverage path generated by the CCNN algorithm has less turning-angle accumulation, deadlocks, and calculation time. In addition, the CCNN algorithm is capable to maintain the covering direction and adapt to complex environments, while effectively escapes deadlocks. It is applicable for USVs to perform multiple engineering missions.

Concentration-dependent Differences in Urinary Iodine Measurements Between Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and the Sandell-Kolthoff Method - Yongze Li; Shuangning Ding; Cheng Han; Aihua Liu; Zhongyan Shan; Weiping Teng; Jinyuan Mao (Biological Trace Element Research, 2021)
A large amount of historical data regarding urinary iodine concentration (UIC) were measured with the Sandell-Kolthoff (S-K) method for iodine nutrition surveillance. The congruence in urinary iodine measurements between inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and the S-K method has been debated. A total of 2064 adult urine samples were included in the present study. The UIC measurement results obtained simultaneously by standardized ICP-MS and the S-K method were analyzed. The UIC obtained with ICP-MS was significantly higher than that obtained with the S-K method (158 μg/L vs. 148 μg/L, p < 0.001). The Bland-Altman difference plot showed a small but significant mean difference of 6.12 μg/L between the two methods. The stratified analysis showed that the correlation coefficient was higher in the UIC < 300 μg/L group than the UIC ≥ 300 μg/L group (0.93 vs. 0.88, p = 0.0001). The mean difference between the S-K and ICP-MS methods was positively correlated with the UIC. The ICP-MS and S-K methods were comparable when the UIC was less than 300 μg/L; however, UIC values between 300 and 600 μg/L should be compared with caution after considering the research objective. We do not suggest comparing UICs obtained from the ICP-MS and S-K methods in iodine monitoring studies if the UIC is greater than 600 μg/L.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has an important role in the Earth's climate system, but it remains unclear how the instrumentally observed multidecadal variability of the Earth's climate is related to the AMOC. We carried out a comprehensive evaluation of five representative indicators of the AMOC, including one atmospheric index based on the effect of accumulated atmospheric forcing on the AMOC and four oceanographic indices using surface and subsurface oceanographic variables in the North Atlantic Ocean. We compared reconstructions of the AMOC against measurement records and analysed the relationships with the multidecadal variability of the annual mean surface air temperature anomalies over the North Atlantic, Northern Hemisphere and South Atlantic. All the AMOC indicators show a weakening trend during the most recent decade, which is in good agreement with the RAPID measurement record of the AMOC. Besides, the atmospheric reconstruction shows the best agreement with the observed low‐frequency variation in the AMOC since 2004. The multidecadal variability in hemispheric/regional surface temperatures is closely related to all the AMOC reconstructions and opposite relationships are observed between the North Atlantic and South Atlantic oceans. The multidecadal surface air temperature anomalies associated with the variations in the AMOC are most pronounced for the atmospheric reconstruction index, which leads the variations in the surface air temperature by 4–5 years. Among the oceanographic indicators, the reconstructions using subsurface oceanographic variables performed best in terms of the relationship with the variations in the multidecadal surface air temperature.

Estimation of surface energy fluxes in the permafrost region of the Tibetan Plateau based on in situ measurements and the surface energy balance system model - Jimin Yao; Lianglei Gu; Cheng Yang; Hao Chen; Jiemin Wang; Yongjian Ding; Ren Li; Lin Zhao; Yao Xiao; Yongping Qiao; Jianzong Shi; Caiping Chen (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The surface energy balance is a key issue in land surface process research and important for studies of climate and hydrology. In this paper, the surface energy fluxes (net radiation, ground heat flux, sensible heat flux and latent heat flux) at the Tanggula (TGL) and Xidatan (XDT) sites were measured and the distributions of the regional surface energy fluxes on the Tibetan Plateau were obtained using a revised surface energy balance system (SEBS) model. The results show that the surface energy fluxes have obvious seasonal variations. At both sites, the sensible heat flux is highest in spring and lowest in summer, and the latent heat flux is highest in summer and lowest in winter. The high elevation, snow cover, freeze–thaw process, precipitation, vegetation and soil texture are important influencing factors for land surface energy fluxes. The time‐phase difference between the net radiation and ground heat flux for bare soils is estimated to be 2–3 hr. The ratio of ground heat flux and net radiation ranged from approximately 0.18 to 0.33, and a parameterization scheme for the remote sensing of ground heat flux over the Tibetan Plateau bare soil in summer is developed. The simulation results of the regional surface energy fluxes show that the distributions of surface parameters, such as vegetation, soil texture and soil moisture content, are important for understanding regional changes in the surface energy fluxes.

The diversity of powdery mildew resistance gene loci among wheat germplasm in Southwest China - B. Cheng; Y. Q. Ding; X. Gao; N. Cao; Z. H. Xin; L. Y. Zhang (Cereal Research Communications, 2020)
Knowledge of genetic diversity and genes conferring disease resistance is essential for the effective use of wheat germplasm resistant to powdery mildew in breeding programs in southwest China. In this study, a collection of 140 common wheat varieties was evaluated for their resistance to powdery mildew in four different environments. Thirty-six varieties (25.71%) showed resistance in all four environments, and most of these varieties originated from the Guizhou Province. This collection was also scanned for molecular markers closely linked to the powdery mildew resistance genes. Most of the wheat varieties (79.86%) carried the resistance Pm30 gene locus. Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) was used to screen our collection against the whole genome. Finally, 6864 informative SNP markers were used to construct a consensus tree with 1000 bootstraps, which showed two groups based on their origins and the presence of the Pm21 gene locus. Our results provide useful information for breeding wheat resistant to powdery mildew in China, and they will likely contribute to the identification of new resistance genes in the future.

Genome-wide association analysis of stripe rust resistance loci in wheat accessions from southwestern China - Bin Cheng; Xu Gao; Ning Cao; Yanqing Ding; Yu Gao; Tianqing Chen; Zhihai Xin; Liyi Zhang (Journal of Applied Genetics, 2020)
Wheat stripe rust can cause considerable yield losses, and genetic resistance is the most effective approach for controlling the disease. To identify the genomic regions responsible for Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst ) resistance in a set of winter wheat strains mainly from southwestern China, and to identify DNA markers in these regions, we carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 120 China winter wheat accessions using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from 90K wheat SNP arrays. In total, 16 SNP loci were significantly associated with wheat stripe rust in field and greenhouse trials. Of these, three distinctive SNPs on chromosomes 1B, 4A, and 6A were identified at a site in Mianyang in 2014, where the most prevalent wheat stripe rust races since 2009 have been V26 (G22-9, G22-14). This suggests that the three SNP loci were linked to the new quantitative trait loci (QTL)/genes resistant to the V26 races. Germplasm with immunity to Pst is a good source of stripe rust resistance for breeding, and after further validation, SNPs closely linked to resistance QTLs/genes could be converted into user-friendly markers and facilitate marker-assisted selection to improve wheat stripe rust resistance.

Aim Rapid anthropogenic warming coupled with changes in land use is altering the distributions of species, with consequences for ecosystem functioning and services. It is crucial to evaluate species range shifts based on understanding of the interaction of temperature with non‐climatic factors such as habitat availability and dispersal potential. Here, we aim to investigate roles of environmental temperature, habitat availability and population connectivity on the distributions of hard‐shore intertidal animals. We further examine potential roles of extensive artificial seawall construction in enabling poleward expansion of species in China, thus reshaping coastal biogeography. Location Chinese coast. Time period 2013–2017. Major taxa studied Intertidal invertebrates. Methods We took an integrative approach encompassing distributional ecology, thermal physiology, molecular genetics, heat budget modelling and larval dispersal to elucidate how interacting multiple drivers, including temperature, habitat availability and larval dispersal, determine distributions of hard‐shore invertebrates, focusing on what sets their range edges at a boundary between biogeographic provinces. Results Our results untangle the complex interactions of global climate change with the impacts of regional scale coastal development. Temperature, larval transport and habitat availability are the major proximate factors controlling the range limits of coastal marine species. The artificial shorelines provide suitable habitats for hard‐shore species on the Yangtze River Delta, and minimum temperature in winter is an important factor setting the new northern range limit of these hard‐shore species along the Chinese coast. Main conclusions In the face of global warming and global sprawl of marine hard infrastructure, species distributions, community structures and biogeographic patterns are experiencing dramatic changes. The combined influence of multiple human stressors including climate change and artificial shorelines can be evaluated by using a multidisciplinary framework, including ecological distribution, physiological sensitivity of species to these stressors, and the role of dispersal in maintaining population connectivity.
