Historically, the river course and coastline of the Yellow River Delta changed frequently, and many studies focused on these change trends and their driving forces. Few studies have explored the influence of historical river channels and historical coastlines on the response of modern landscape patterns. This study examines the impact of channel migration and coastline evolution on the modern landscape pattern of historical subdeltas and coastal wetlands, utilizing a combination of Geo-informatics and Remote Sensing images in 1989, 1998, 2009, and 2016. The results showed that: (1) Subdeltaic landscapes changed from 1998 to 2016, with slight changes in most landscape types in the Ancient Qing Shui Course Subdelta (AQSD), an increase in building sites by 17% in the Zhimai Course Subdelta (ZMSD), a decrease in the proportion of Phragmites/cogongrass communities by 15.8% in the Diao Kou Course Subdelta (DKSD), and domination by natural landscapes in the Modern Qing Shui Course Subdelta (MQSD). (2) Coastal wetlands also experienced changes, with an increase in cultivated land to 60% in the coastal wetlands of CWI, a decline in natural landscapes, and an increase in artificial landscapes in the coastal wetlands of CWII and CWIII, and domination by natural landscapes but an increase in salt fields and culture ponds by 3.45% in the coastal wetlands of CWIV. (3) Channel migration and coastline evolution influenced the direction of landscape succession, causing the landscape-type centroids in the entire delta to move eastward or northward. (4) Throughout the delta, the human tendency to live by rivers was observed. This was due to the availability of freshwater from these rivers, which led to the expansion of inhabited areas and man-made water bodies along the river banks. Channel migration and coastline evolution aggravated the salinization of coastal wetlands and promoted the salt industry and aquaculture in some estuaries of the Yellow River. In general, human activities play a dominant role in shaping the landscape pattern in the Yellow River Delta, but they were largely restricted to historical channel migration and historical coastline evolution.

New field observation on distribution, turnover, and sea–air flux of three dimethylated sulfur compounds (dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate, and dimethylsulfoxide) in the western tropical Indian Ocean (WTIO; 4°N–10°S, 61°–65°E) were conducted under the major Global Change and Air–Sea Interaction Program during the 2021/2022 Northeast Monsoon (December 21, 2021 to January 11, 2022). Significantly high surface concentrations of DMS were identified in the region of the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR; 5°–10°S). This occurred because the shallow thermocline/nitracline and associated upwelling fueled biological production of DMS in the subsurface, which was brought to the surface through vertical mixing. The calculated sea–air DMS flux was also significantly strong in the SCTR region during the Northeast Monsoon owing to combination of high wind speed and high surface concentration of DMS. This finding is similar to results obtained previously during the Southwest Monsoon, suggesting that the SCTR region is an area of active DMS emission during both the Northeast Monsoon and the Southwest Monsoon. Microbial consumption was the dominant pathway of DMS removal, accounting for 74.4% of the total, whereas the processes of photolysis (17.7%) and ventilation (7.9%) were less important. Future work should be undertaken in the WTIO to establish how DMS emission is linked to aerosol properties and climate change.

Temporal dynamics of soil bacterial network regulate soil resistomes - Qian Xiang; Dong Zhu; Min Qiao; Xiao‐Ru Yang; Gang Li; Qing‐Lin Chen; Yong‐Guan Zhu (Environmental Microbiology, 2023)
Soil bacteria are diverse and form complicated ecological networks through various microbial interactions, which play important roles in soil multi‐functionality. However, the seasonal effects on the bacterial network, especially the relationship between bacterial network topological features and soil resistomes remains underexplored, which impedes our ability to unveil the mechanisms of the temporal‐dynamics of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, a field investigation was conducted across four seasons at the watershed scale. We observed significant seasonal variation in bacterial networks, with lower complexity and stability in autumn, and a wider bacterial community niche in summer. Similar to bacterial communities, the co‐occurrence networks among ARGs also shift with seasonal change, particularly with respect to the topological features of the node degree, which on average was higher in summer than in the other seasons. Furthermore, the nodes with higher betweenness, stress, degree, and closeness centrality in the bacterial network showed strong relationships with the 10 major classes of ARGs. These findings highlighted the changes in the topological properties of bacterial networks that could further alter antibiotic resistance in soil. Together, our results reveal the temporal dynamics of bacterial ecological networks at the watershed scale, and provide new insights into antibiotic resistance management under environmental changes.

Marine environmental pollution and offshore aquaculture structure: Evidence from China - Bin Yuan; Yuhu Cui; Dong An; Zhaoxin Jia; Wenyan Ding; Lin Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The marine environment pollution is becoming an important factor that restricts the sustainable development of mariculture in China. This study takes 10 Chinese coastal provinces (cities) as the study area, based on the rationalization and upgrading dimensions of industrial structure, and innovatively constructs an analytical framework of marine environmental pollution and offshore aquaculture structure to identify the intrinsic relationship between them; and introduces a spatial econometric model to alleviate the estimation bias caused by the public goods attribute of marine environment and improve the reliability of research conclusions. The results show that: (1) The rationalization of the offshore aquaculture structure in China is relatively weak, showing a “concentrated and contiguous” distribution pattern towards the developed aquaculture areas; at the same time, but the differences between regions are expanding; (2) The rationalization and upgrading of the offshore aquaculture structure are affected by the pollution of the marine environment. The degree of upgrading shows different trends; (3) There is a significant spatial adjacency and threshold effect of the negative impact of marine environmental pollution on offshore farming structure. However, due to the limitations of data, the accuracy of our data and the effectiveness of the measurement of industrial structure indicators still need to be improved. Therefore, governmental departments should consider the development of the surrounding areas as well as the pollution emission in the region, and jointly promote the optimization and adjustment of China’s offshore aquaculture structure through the construction of a coordinated management mechanism of marine pollution prevention and treatment.

A skilful seasonal prediction for wintertime rainfall in southern Thailand - Zizhen Dong; Lin Wang; Hainan Gong; Atsamon Limsakul; Hongdou Fan; Sittichai Pimonsree (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Year‐to‐year variations of southern Thailand rainfall (STR) in boreal winter exert profound social and economic impacts, whereas current multimodel ensemble prediction systems have low skills to predict the STR. This study proposes a physical‐based seasonal prediction model for the winter STR 1 month in advance using the outputs from the dynamic models. The prediction model is constructed using linear regression, with the tropical western Pacific (TWP) sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly in preceding October as a predictor. Its prediction skill in the leave‐five‐out cross‐validation is significantly higher than that of the multimodel ensemble mean. The mechanism behind this model is also discussed. In October, the warm TWP SST anomalies can trigger anomalous low‐level convergence surrounding the South China Sea in terms of the Matsuno–Gill mechanism and persist into the following winter, causing above‐than‐normal STR. This information is essential and may provide another perspective to improve the model prediction on the winter STR.

Deep Learning-Based Classification of Raw Hydroacoustic Signal: A Review - Xu Lin; Ruichun Dong; Zhichao Lv (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Underwater target recognition is a research component that is crucial to realizing crewless underwater detection missions and has significant prospects in both civil and military applications. This paper provides a comprehensive description of the current stage of deep-learning methods with respect to raw hydroacoustic data classification, focusing mainly on the variety and recognition of vessels and environmental noise from raw hydroacoustic data. This work not only aims to describe the latest research progress in this field but also summarizes three main elements of the current stage of development: feature extraction in the time and frequency domains, data enhancement by neural networks, and feature classification based on deep learning. In this paper, we analyze and discuss the process of hydroacoustic signal processing; demonstrate that the method of feature fusion can be used in the pre-processing stage in classification and recognition algorithms based on raw hydroacoustic data, which can significantly improve target recognition accuracy; show that data enhancement algorithms can be used to improve the efficiency of recognition in complex environments in terms of deep learning network structure; and further discuss the field’s future development directions.

Circadian clock genes Bmal1 and Period may regulate nocturnal spawning by controlling sex hormone secretion in razor clam Sinonovacula constricta - Yanzi Liu; Qinyuan He; Hanhan Yao; Zhihua Lin; Yinghui Dong (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The circadian clock is an endogenous regulation mechanism that coordinates biological processes with daily changes, which are regulated by circadian clock genes. Bmal1 and Period are key circadian clock genes and their roles in reproductive development have been widely studied. The spawning time of Sinonovacula constricta is limited to the night even under external artificial stimulation, and it might be regulated by the internal circadian clock. In this study, the heart rate of S. constricta was higher between 20:00-04:00 at night and lower between 12:00-16:00 during the day, and the sex hormone contents were the highest at 00:00 and the lowest at 18:00 ( P < 0.01). Therefore, these obvious changes in the circadian rhythm indicate that S. constricta is a nocturnal animal. The open reading frame (ORF) of Bmal1 comprises 1944 bp encoding 647 aa, while the ORF of Period comprises 3111 bp encoding 1036 aa. Bmal1 and Period were both expressed in four tissues, but they had opposite rhythmic expression patterns. Bmal1 expression was higher at 00:00-06:00 and lower at 12:00-18:00, and Period expression was opposite, thereby suggesting that Bmal1 and Period are involved in positive and negative pathways regulated by the circadian clock, respectively. Strong protein fluorescence signals of Bmal1 and Period proteins were observed in mature oocytes, spermatids, hepatocytes, and epithelial cells of siphons. After siRNA interference, the expression of both Bmal1 and Period significantly decreased ( P < 0.01), and the sex hormone contents decreased significantly from 3 to 7 days in the siRNA treatment groups ( P < 0.01). Therefore Bmal1 and Period may regulate nocturnal spawning by controlling sex hormone secretion. These findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the molecular mechanism related to spawning, and may facilitate the artificial propagation of mollusks.

Prediction of Operation Time of Container Ship at Berth under Uncertain Factors Based on a Hybrid Model Combining PCA and ELM Optimized by IPSO - Zhaohui Li; Lin Wang; Wenjia Piao; Hao Jia; Shan Dong; Jiehan Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
With the rapid development of global trade, the turnover of shipping containers has increased rapidly. How to use port resources reasonably and efficiently has become one of the main challenges that ports need to deal with when planning for the future. In order to develop scientific and efficient berth plans to improve operational efficiency and service level, this paper proposes a hybrid prediction model based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) optimized by Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO), namely, the PCA-IPSO-ELM model. After assessing the uncertain factors influencing the operation time of the container ship at berth, this work reduces the dimensionality of the investigational data by the PCA method. Aiming to solve easy premature convergence of the traditional particle swarm algorithm, this paper introduces an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm via dynamic adjustment of nonlinear parameters. This improved particle swarm algorithm is mainly used to optimize the weights and thresholds of the extreme learning machine. Thus, a PCA-IPSO-ELM model which aims to forecast the operation time of a container ship at berth, is constructed. Using the historical operation data of the Tianjin Port Container Shipping Company as the prediction sample, this PCA-IPSO-ELM model is compared and assessed with traditional models. The results show that compared with other models, the PCA-IPSO-ELM prediction model has the characteristics of high prediction accuracy, fast running rate and strong stability, and it has a higher coefficient of determination and a better fitting degree.

Fatigue Strength Assessment of Single-Sided Girth Welds in Offshore Pipelines Subjected to Start-Up and Shut-Down Cycles - Yan Dong; Guanglei Ji; Lin Fang; Xin Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
During the service life of offshore pipelines, many start-up and shut-down cycles take place, possibly leading to significant cyclic loads. Fatigue failure may occur, resulting in serious environmental pollution and loss of property. The study aims to assess the fatigue strength of single-sided girth welds in offshore pipelines under these specific fatigue loads. The longitudinal stress range caused by the variation of the pipeline’s internal pressure and temperature is calculated. The effective notch strain approach is used to assess the fatigue strength of welds. The plastic behaviour of the weld root is investigated for a study case to justify the use of low-cycle fatigue assessment approaches. The effect of weld root geometry on the notch stress factor is studied to identify the dominant geometrical parameters. The fatigue strength of the study case is assessed, and some limitations of the assessment are discussed. The results show that the plastic behaviour of the weld root is only significant for severe local stress concentrations, which is mainly governed by the axial misalignment, weld root angle and the weld root bead width. If the fatigue damage at failure is 0.1, a limited number of start-up and shut-down cycles are allowed during the service life of the pipeline for the study case, indicating the necessity of fatigue strength assessment.

Aloe polysaccharide promotes osteogenesis potential of adipose-derived stromal cells via BMP-2/Smads and prevents ovariectomized-induced osteoporosis - Xue-wei Yao; He-dong Liu; Mao-xian Ren; Tian-lin Li; Wen-kai Jiang; Zhi Zhou; Zhi-yi Liu; Min Yang (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Background Aloe polysaccharide (AP) is a type of an active macromolecule of Aloe vera, which contributes to its function. However, whether AP possesses anti-osteoporosis properties is unknown. Methods Adipose-derived stromal cells were treated with different concentrations of AP. Early and late osteogenesis were, respectively, evaluated by ALP and Alizarin Red S staining. The effect of AP on the processes of adipogenesis inhibition in ADSCs was analyzed by oil red O staining. Western blot was used to assess the expression of osteogenic and adipogenic related factors. Then, Noggin was administered to further confirm the mechanism by which AP promotes the osteogenesis of ADSCs. Finally, 40 female SD rats were classified into a bilateral laparotomy group (Sham group) and three bilateral ovariectomy groups: OVX group, OVX + AP group, and OVX + AP + Noggin group. The bilateral rat femurs were collected to perform micro-CT scanning, HE, Masson trichrome, and Oil red O staining. Results The results indicated that AP could increase ALP expression and calcium deposition. Through molecular mechanisms, AP promotes the protein expression of COL1A1, OPN, and ALP in ADSCs, but downregulates the expression of PPARγ. Also, AP directs ADSCs’ fate by stimulating the BMP2/Smads signaling pathway. In vivo, the rat AP-treated had more trabecular bone than the OVX rat, indicating partial protection from cancellous bone loss after treatment with AP. Conclusion Our results show that AP may promote osteogenesis of ADSCs through BMP-2/Smads signaling pathway and inhibits lipogenic differentiation. Thus, AP might be a promising alternative medicine to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Integrative sperm DNA methylation and miRomics analysis highlights interaction of two epigenetic patterns of pseudomale inheritance in teleost - Na Zhao; Lei Jia; Lu Chen; Jieyan Lin; Zhongdian Dong; Bo Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Proper DNA methylation in spermatozoa is essential for the normal development of fertilized embryos through gene expression regulation. Abnormal sperm DNA methylation is associated with male fertility impairment, offspring quality decline, and disease susceptibility. Compared with other epigenetic regulatory mechanisms (e.g., histone modification), DNA methylation is a stable regulator for the long-term transcriptional activity of genes. Sperm DNA methylation is crucial to offspring’s survival, development, and reproduction. However, it has not been well studied in teleost to a large extent, especially in some species with sex deviation or congenital sex abnormality in offspring. In the present study, DNA methylation profiles of pseudomale (ZW) and male (ZZ) tongue sole ( Cynoglossus semilaevis ) spermatozoa were characterized for differential methylation regions (DMRs) screening. The global methylation levels of the two sperm groups were highly methylated with no significant differences. For all kinds of genomic elements, the mean methylation level of the ZW group was higher than that of the ZZ group. The total numbers of Covered C annotated on the W chromosome of both groups were extremely small, suggesting that W-type sperm did not exist in pseudomales. A comparison of methylation levels on 20 sex-related genes between sperm and gonad showed that the heterogeneity between tissue resources was greater than that between sexes, and the methylation level of most genes in gonads was lower than that in sperm. For integrative analysis of DNA methylation and miRomic profiles, 11 sex-related DMRs associated with 15 differentials micro RNAs (miRNAs) in spermatozoa were identified to present targeting relationships and regulatory trends of the two distinct epigenetic patterns. This study provides valuable and potential targets of coordination between two epigenetic mechanisms in the process of C. semilaevis sex congenital bias.

Key message This review provides a comprehensive atlas of QTLs, genes, and alleles conferring resistance to 28 important diseases in all major soybean production regions in the world. Abstract Breeding disease-resistant soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties is a common goal for soybean breeding programs to ensure the sustainability and growth of soybean production worldwide. However, due to global climate change, soybean breeders are facing strong challenges to defeat diseases. Marker-assisted selection and genomic selection have been demonstrated to be successful methods in quickly integrating vertical resistance or horizontal resistance into improved soybean varieties, where vertical resistance refers to R genes and major effect QTLs, and horizontal resistance is a combination of major and minor effect genes or QTLs. This review summarized more than 800 resistant loci/alleles and their tightly linked markers for 28 soybean diseases worldwide, caused by nematodes, oomycetes, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. The major breakthroughs in the discovery of disease resistance gene atlas of soybean were also emphasized which include: (1) identification and characterization of vertical resistance genes reside rhg1 and Rhg4 for soybean cyst nematode, and exploration of the underlying regulation mechanisms through copy number variation and (2) map-based cloning and characterization of Rps11 conferring resistance to 80% isolates of Phytophthora sojae across the USA. In this review, we also highlight the validated QTLs in overlapping genomic regions from at least two studies and applied a consistent naming nomenclature for these QTLs. Our review provides a comprehensive summary of important resistant genes/QTLs and can be used as a toolbox for soybean improvement. Finally, the summarized genetic knowledge sheds light on future directions of accelerated soybean breeding and translational genomics studies.

Land Subsidence Evolution and Simulation in the Western Coastal Area of Bohai Bay, China - Can Lu; Lin Zhu; Xiaojuan Li; Huili Gong; Dong Du; Haigang Wang; Pietro Teatini (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Groundwater overexploitation and loading of buildings have been the main factors triggering land subsidence along the west coast of Bohai Bay, China, since the 2000s. Uneven subsidence has been causing damage to buildings and civil facilities, loss of elevation, increasing the risk of flood and seawater intrusion, and threatening the safety of people’s lives and property. This paper analyzed the spatial and temporal features of land subsidence along the coastal area from 2003 to 2010 and from 2015 to 2020, respectively. The relations between the initiating factors and land subsidence were explored. Then, the simulation model of land subsidence was constructed through a deep learning method. During the process, multiple data were collected, including land satellite (Landsat), environmental satellite advanced synthetic aperture radar (ENVISAT ASAR) and Sentinel-1 images, leveling data, lithological data, and groundwater level data. The area occupied by buildings and vertical displacement were extracted by using supervised classification, small baseline subset (SBAS), and persistent scatterer interferometry (PSI) technologies. The gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network was adopted to simulate the evolution of land subsidence. Results showed that the maximum annual vertical displacement rate decreased from −94 mm/yr during 2003–2010 to −87 mm/yr during 2015–2020. The correlation efficiency between the groundwater level of the third confined aquifer group and land subsidence was larger than the area occupied by buildings and the compressible layer thickness with subsidence. The constructed GRU neural network model can simulate subsidence from September 2019 to December 2019, with the overall RMSE and MAE being 3.16 mm and 2.19 mm, respectively. This work can facilitate an understanding of the evolution and prevention of land subsidence along the west coast of Bohai Bay, which will provide information for policy decisions and flood-fighting plans of the worldwide coastal cities.

First Suction Cup Tagging on a Small and Coastal Form Bryde’s Whale (Balaenoptera edeni edeni) in China to Investigate Its Dive Profiles and Foraging Behaviours - Lijun Dong; Mingming Liu; Wenzhi Lin; Songhai Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Small-and-coastal-form Bryde’s whales (Balaenoptera edeni edeni) are known to inhabit coastal and continental shelf waters. However, little is known on their ethological activities, especially underwater behaviours. Here, we deployed a suction cup tag on a small-and-coastal-form Bryde’s whale to study its ethological activities in Dapeng Bay, a coastal water of Shenzhen off the east Pearl River Estuary, China. The whale was tagged for 6 hours in total and displayed a head-lifting feeding behaviour 77 times during two tag deployments. The swim speed, dive duration and depth and bottom duration were collected by the tag to describe detailed information on dive profiles. The rate of feeding behaviours was observed decreasing with the presence of anthropogenic whale-approaching (AWA) boat activities occurring close (within 300 m) to the animal. Our study, for the first time, investigated behaviours of Bryde’s whales using suction cup tagging in Chinese waters. The results reveal the dive and feeding patterns of a small-and-coastal-form Bryde’s whale with short-term monitoring and provide a fundamental advancement in the knowledge of both the diving behaviour and the behavioural response of this subspecies to human activities. The findings are valuable for possible rescue of the investigated whale and for policy and management regarding conservation of this subspecies as well.

The consistent background color preference highlights the personality in the lined seahorse, Hippocampus erectus - Siping Li; Xin Liu; Tingting Lin; Dong Zhang; Xiong Zou (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Background color in aquaculture has been paid more attention due to the effect on fish growth, survival, health, and reproduction. In the present study, we evaluated the background color preference of the lined seahorse ( Hippocampus erectus ) and its relationship with personality. Preference was assessed over 10 consecutive days through allowing the lined seahorse to freely choose six different colored compartments, i.e., white, red, green, black, yellow, and blue backgrounds. To minimize the spurious preference response, the individual preference index (PI) was applied to calculate the preference intensity of the background colors. Preference reliability was further verified by a binary choice test through the choice for the most preferred or non-preferred color. Preference consistency under stress situation was assessed by a “knock-at-the-door” test as confining the seahorse in a transparent circle after a 30-s air exposure and measuring the proportion of knock toward different colored backgrounds. The personality was conjointly analyzed by new environment test and novel object test. Overall, the lined seahorse showed a general preference for white and blue while avoidance of black and red backgrounds at either unstressed or stressed situations. The shyer the seahorse was, the more preference for white background it displayed. Thus, white and blue background colors are recommended for culturing the lined seahorse. Furthermore, white color preference is a potential indicator in personality study of the lined seahorse.

Proteomic analysis of the spineless cuttlefish Sepiella japonica: Exploratory analyses on the phenomenon of death after spawning - Hongfei Li; Shuangrui Lin; Pengzhi Qi; Jingtian Wang; Meihua Fan; Hongwei Huang; Zhenyu Dong; Kaida Xu; Baoying Guo (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
To better understand the physiological events involving death after spawning in S. japonica (Japanese spineless cuttlefish), we have presently generated a proteomic data set to properly examine this phenomenon. As such, a proteomic-based approach was employed to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the optic glands of S. japonica , at three distinct growth stages: pre-spawning after sexual maturity (group A); spawning (group B) and postspawning before death (group C). About 955, 1000, and 1024 DEPs were identified for each comparative group analysis (i.e., group B vs A, group B vs C, and group C vs A). We further discovered that the function of these newly identified DEPs was mostly related to molecular events such as gene translation and signal transduction. According to the enriched GO terms obtained by Gene Ontology analysis, the function of most DEPs was correlated with structural molecule activity, ribosome function and gene expression. The majority of DEPs were known to be involved in signal transduction and energy metabolism, interestingly, some aging-related DEPs were also identified. Putting together, our study provides new insights, at the protein level, in the phenomenon of death after spawning in S. japonica , by referring to anti-aging effects conserved in other cephalopoda species.

Potential millennial‐scale avian declines by humans in southern China - Feng Dong; Qiang Zhang; Yi‐Lin Chen; Fu‐Min Lei; Shou‐Hsien Li; Fei Wu; Xiao‐Jun Yang (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Mounting observational records demonstrate human‐caused faunal decline in recent decades, while accumulating archaeological evidence suggests an early biodiversity impact of human activities during the Holocene. A fundamental question arises concerning whether modern wildlife population declines began during early human disturbance. Here, we performed a population genomic analysis of six common forest birds in East Asia to address this question. For five of them, demographic history inference based on 25–33 genomes of each species revealed dramatic population declines by 4‐ to 48‐fold over millennia (e.g. 2000–5000 thousand years ago). Nevertheless, summary statistics detected nonsignificant correlations between these population size trajectories and Holocene temperature variations, and ecological niche models explicitly predicted extensive range persistence during the Holocene, implying limited demographic consequence of Holocene climate change. Further analyses suggest high negative correlations between the reconstructed population declines and human disturbance intensities and indicate a potential driver of human activities. These findings provide a deep‐time and large‐scale insight into the recently recognized avifaunal decline and support an early origin hypothesis of human effects on biodiversity. Overall, our study sheds light on the current biodiversity crisis in the context of long‐term human–environment interactions and offers a multi‐evidential framework for quantitatively assessing the ecological consequences of human disturbance.

Mapping the potential for offshore aquaculture of salmonids in the Yellow Sea - Shuang-En Yu; Shuang-Lin Dong; Zhi-Xin Zhang; Yu-Yang Zhang; Gianluca Sarà; Jie Wang; Yun-Wei Dong (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2022)
Mariculture has been one of the fastest-growing global food production sectors over the past three decades. With the congestion of space and deterioration of the environment in coastal regions, offshore aquaculture has gained increasing attention. Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) and rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) are two important aquaculture species and contribute to 6.1% of world aquaculture production of finfish. In the present study, we established species distribution models (SDMs) to identify the potential areas for offshore aquaculture of these two cold-water fish species considering the mesoscale spatio-temporal thermal heterogeneity of the Yellow Sea. The values of the area under the curve (AUC) and the true skill statistic (TSS) showed good model performance. The suitability index (SI), which was used in this study to quantitatively assess potential offshore aquaculture sites, was highly dynamic at the surface water layer. However, high SI values occurred throughout the year at deeper water layers. The potential aquaculture areas for S. salar and O. mykiss in the Yellow Sea were estimated as 52,270 ± 3275 (95% confidence interval, CI) and 146,831 ± 15,023 km 2 , respectively. Our results highlighted the use of SDMs in identifying potential aquaculture areas based on environmental variables. Considering the thermal heterogeneity of the environment, this study suggested that offshore aquaculture for Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout was feasible in the Yellow Sea by adopting new technologies (e.g., sinking cages into deep water) to avoid damage from high temperatures in summer.

PLXDC2 enhances invadopodium formation to promote invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells via interacting with PTP1B - Bin Wu; Yan-xia Wang; Jun-jie Wang; Dong-fang Xiang; Meng-si Zhang; Ze-xuan Yan; Wen-ying Wang; Jing-ya Miao; Xi Lan; Jia-jia Liu; Zheng-yan Li; Chuan Li; et al. (Clinical & Experimental Metastasis, 2022)
Plexin-domain containing 2 (PLXDC2) has been reported as an oncoprotein in several human malignancies. However, its expression and roles in gastric cancer remain largely unclear. In this study, we found that PLXDC2 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, and the expression levels were positively correlated with clinicopathological features, but negatively with the patients’ outcome. Cox regression analysis identified PLXDC2 as an independent prognostic indicator for the patients. Knockdown of PLXDC2 markedly suppressed the in vitro invasion and in vivo metastasis of gastric cancer cells, while overexpression of PLXDC2 resulted in opposite effects. Mechanistically, PLXDC2 enhanced the level of phosphorylated Cortactin (p-Cortactin) by physically interacting with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), an important dephosphorylase, to prevent its dephosphorylating of p-Cortactin, thereby promoting the formation of invadopodia. Collectively, our results indicate that PLXDC2 contributes to the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer by inhibiting PTP1B to facilitate the invadopodium formation, and may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for this disease.

Plant secondary metabolite and temperature determine the prevalence of Arsenophonus endosymbionts in aphid populations - Chun‐Yan Chang; Xiao‐Wan Sun; Pan‐Pan Tian; Ning‐Hui Miao; Yu‐Lin Zhang; Xiang‐Dong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Transmission rate and role in hosts contribute to the prevalence of an endosymbiont. However, factors affecting transmission and role of facultative endosymbionts are still not well understood. Here, we illustrated that host plants and environmental temperatures affected the transmission, relative abundance and role of Arsenophonus in the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii . The transmission rate of this endosymbiont from mother aphids to offspring was relatively lower. High temperatures impeded the transmission, and infection rates declined as aphids were exposed to 30°C. Contents of amino acids and secondary metabolites were remarkably different among host plants. Aphids feeding on zucchini leaves containing a higher titre of amino acids and lower secondary metabolites harboured a relatively lower abundance of Arsenophonus . Concentrations of an amino acid and a plant secondary metabolite, cucurbitacin B, in aphid diet were not associated with Arsenophonus abundance. However, gossypol, another plant secondary metabolite, was strongly related with the abundance. Arsenophonus imparted a fitness benefit to aphids, and the benefit was dependent on host plants and gossypol concentration. In sum, plant secondary metabolite and environmental temperature affect transmission, relative abundance and role of Arsenophonus , which determine the endosymbiont prevalence in aphid populations.

Temporal Dynamics in Energy Fluxes and Trophic Structure of a Portunus trituberculatus Polyculture Ecosystem During Different Culture Periods - Jie Feng; Xiang-Li Tian; Shuang-Lin Dong; Rui-Peng He; Kai Zhang; Dong-Xu Zhang; Qing-Qi Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Swimming crab ( Portunus trituberculatus ) are an important aquaculture species in eastern coastal areas of China. To improve the understanding of P. trituberculatus culture ecosystem functioning, the dynamics of energy flow and trophic structure of a P. trituberculatus polyculture system (co-culture with white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and short-necked clam Ruditapes philippinarum ) were investigated in this study. Three Ecopath models representing the early, middle, and late culture periods of a P. trituberculatus polyculture ecosystem, respectively, were constructed to compare ecosystem traits at different culture periods. The results demonstrated that detritus was the main energy source in this polyculture ecosystem, and most of the total system throughput occurred at trophic levels I and II. Artificial food input and consumption by the culture organisms increased from early to middle and late periods, which produced marked impacts on biomass structure and primary production. R. philippinarum was considered to have a dominant influence on phytoplankton community dynamics which changed from nano- to pico-phytoplankton predominance, from the middle to the late period. Considering the low utilization efficiency of pico-phytoplankton production, large amounts of detritus accumulated in the sediment in the late period, which may constitute a potential risk for the ecosystem. Ecological network analyses indicated that the total energy flow and level of system organization increased from the early to the middle and late periods, whereas food web complexity and system resilience decreased from early to middle and late periods, which may indicate a trend of decreasing ecosystem stability. The system may be further optimized by increased stocking density of R. philippinarum and by introducing macro-algae at a suitable biomass to increase ecosystem stability, energy utilization efficiency, and aquaculture production.

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

Structural Optimization of a Muffler for a Marine Pumping System Based on Numerical Calculation - Houlin Liu; Jiawei Lin; Runan Hua; Liang Dong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In order to eliminate the noise in the pumping system and prolong the service life of the equipment, an optimization design method for a muffler structure is proposed. The inside of the muffler is designed with a water guide cone which plays the role of diverting the fluid in the pipeline. The muffler shell, the wall surface of the water guide cone, and the circular bottom plate adopt a porous structure. In order to achieve the best sound suppression effect of the muffler structure, the effects of different channel expansion angles and the flow area on the performance of muffler are studied the results show that when the flow channel expansion angle of the muffler is 145° and the flow area ratio is 3 times, the noise elimination performance of the muffler is the best. The structural optimization of the muffler studied in this paper is of great significance to noise reduction in the pumping system.

Discovery of the non‐cosmopolitan lineages in Candidatus Thermoprofundales - Yi‐Fan Liu; Liu Yang; Zhong‐Lin Liu; Jing Chen; Bo Fang; Lei Zhou; Jin‐Feng Liu; Shi‐Zhong Yang; Ji‐Dong Gu; Bo‐Zhong Mu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary The recently proposed order Candidatus Thermoprofundales, currently containing only one family‐level lineage Marine Benthic Group‐D (MBG‐D), is distributed in global subsurface ecosystems and ecologically important, but its diversity, evolution and metabolism remain largely unknown. Here we described two novel family‐level specialized lineages in Ca . Thermoprofundales, JdFR‐43 and HyVt, which are restricted to specific biotopes (primarily in marine hydrothermal vents and occasionally in oil reservoirs and hot springs) in contrast to the cosmopolitan lineage MBG‐D. The comparative genomics revealed that the specialized lineages have streamlined genomes, higher GC contents, enriched genes associated with nucleotide biosynthesis, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair and additional thermostable aminopeptidases, enabling them to adapt to high‐temperature habitats such as marine hydrothermal vents, deep subsurface oil reservoirs and hot springs. On the contrary, the unique metabolic traits of the cosmopolitan MBG‐D, motility, glycolysis, butanoate metabolism, secondary metabolites production and additional genes for specific peptides and carbohydrates degradation potentially enhance its response to environmental change. Substrate preference is found for most MAGs across all lineages with the ability to utilize both polysaccharides (chitin and starch) and proteinaceous substances, whereas JdFR‐43 members from oil reservoirs can only utilize proteins. These results expand the diversity of C a . Thermoprofundales significantly and further improve our understandings of the adaptations of C a . Thermoprofundales to various environments.

Analysis of the Mechanical Properties of the Reconstituted Hydrate-Bearing Clayey-Silt Samples from the South China Sea - Lin Dong; Hualin Liao; Yanlong Li; Qingguo Meng; Gaowei Hu; Jintang Wang; Nengyou Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments (HBS) are crucial for evaluating drilling- and production-induced geo-hazards. However, investigations on mechanical behaviors of clayey-silt samples containing hydrate are insufficient due to low efficiency in preparing reconstituted hydrate-bearing samples. Herein, we carried out a series of triaxial shear tests to analyze the deformation behaviors of reconstituted clayey-silt samples containing tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrate. The sediments were taken from the Shenhu Area, northern South China Sea. The failure mechanisms during shearing are discussed based on micro-to-macro analyses. The results imply that the stress-strain curves show obvious strain-hardening under triaxial shearing, which can be divided into elastic deformation stage, transitional stage, and plastic deformation stage. Besides, the results reveal that cohesion strengthens from 0.09 MPa to 1.28 MPa when hydrate saturation increases from 15% to 60%. Moreover, calculation models are proposed to evaluate failure strengths and Young’s modulus. Establishing empirical formula based on experimental data can quickly determine the strength parameters with knowing the hydrate saturation and stress state of clayey-silt sediments containing hydrate. It is urgent in field operations and numerical simulation to use reliable empirical models.

Evaluation and Temporal-Spatial Deconstruction for High-Quality Development of Regional Marine Economy: A Case Study of China - Dong An; Chunlei Shen; Lin Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The high-quality development of the marine economy has become a realistic choice to stimulate the vitality of regional economic growth and achieve the goal of building a powerful nation in the marine economy. This study constructs an evaluation index system from efficiency, coordination, innovation, sustainability, openness, and shareability to analyze the high-quality development level and temporal-spatial heterogeneity of China’s regional marine economy from 2010 to 2018. Methods used in this paper are entropy, kernel density estimation, and partial spatial autocorrelation analysis. The results are shown as follows: (1) The high-quality development level of China’s regional marine economy shows a slow fluctuating and upward trend, coordination, sustainability, and innovation are the primary driving forces. The ranking of the three marine economic circles in the development quality of the marine economy is Eastern> Southern>Northern, the ranking of coastal provinces is Guangdong> Shanghai> Shandong> Zhejiang> Fujian> Tianjin> Jiangsu> Liaoning> Hainan> Hebei> Guangxi. The primary driving forces for Guangdong, Shanghai, Shandong, and Zhejiang leading other coastal areas are openness, efficiency, innovation, and sustainability respectively; (2) the temporal differentiation of China’s regional marine economy shows a dynamic evolution process that is obvious in the early stages, alleviating in the middle stage, and balance in the later stage; (3) the spatial zoning types and high-quality development paths of 11 coastal provinces are determined based on spatial differentiation: Shanghai and Zhejiang are high-value congregate types and named as demonstration regions, which should build global marine center cities with deepening regional cooperation and high-standard opening-up; Shandong and Guangdong are high-value discrete types and named as key engine regions, which should enhance the international competitiveness of the marine industry with scientific and technological innovation; Tianjin, Hebei, and Liaoning are low-value congregate types and named as potential zooming regions, which should improve the efficiency of marine resources utilization with regional cooperation; Jiangsu, Fujian, Hainan, and Guangxi are low-value discrete types and named as land-sea coordination regions, which should build a modern and characteristic marine industrial system coordinated with land and sea.

As the world's leading producer of farmed aquatic food products, China faces great uncertainty concerning the further sustainable development of its aquaculture industry due to high and increasing pressure from environmental and resource constraints. To realize truly sustainable development, it is imperative to establish an evaluation system that integrates social, economic, environmental and resource criteria, and optimizes aquaculture systems through a holistic approach. Here, we used analytical hierarchy processes combined with expert judgment and objective data to assess the sustainability of 10 major aquaculture production systems (APSs) in China. Based on the evaluation results, we propose the ecological intensification of aquaculture systems (ELIAS), rationally integrating anthropogenic inputs with aquaculture ecosystem services, to improve the sustainability of APSs. The holistic evaluation system and ELIAS are fundamental and critical for the future development of aquaculture in China and globally.

A Discontinuous Individual Growth Model of Swimming Crab Portunus trituberculatus and Its Application in the Nutrient Dynamic Simulation in an Intensive Mariculture Pond - Shipeng Dong; Xian Xu; Fan Lin; Liye Yu; Hongwei Shan; Fang Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Environmental problems such as organic pollution and eutrophication caused by highly intensive mariculture activities constrain the sustainable and healthy development of industry. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify the nutrient dynamics of aquaculture animals in order to reduce the risk of environmental pollution. In this study, a discontinuous individual growth model of Portunus trituberculatus in an intensive mariculture pond of P. trituberculatus – Penaeus japonicus – Sinonovacula constricta was constructed based on a dynamic energy budget theory combined with the index of condition factor. This model better predicted the growth and molting behavior of P. trituberculatus , and an acceptable fit was obtained through model parameterization using the Add-my-Pet (AmP) method (mean relative error = 0.058, symmetric mean squared error = 0.007). Ten molts were simulated over 180 days and generally coincided with the recorded molt time points. Based on this model and P. trituberculatus populations, the dynamic processes of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in ingestion, respiration, excretion, feces, residual feed, dead crabs, seeding, molt, and harvest were simulated. The carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus ingested during the 180-day culture period were 4,938.57 kg ha -1 , 1,255.88 kg ha -1 , and 244.16 kg ha -1 , respectively. Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus removal by harvest accounted for 1.06%, 1.03% and 0.62% of the total ingestion, respectively, while carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus removal by dead crabs accounted for 6.84%, 6.63%, and 4.04%, respectively, and carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus released from residual feed into the water accounted for 41.43% of the total feed. The accurate simulation of molting behavior and nutrient dynamics in this study provides a theoretical basis for molting risk prevention and environmental stress assessment of P. trituberculatus and provides basic modules and data support for the construction of the integrated mariculture ecosystem model.

Tennessenoid A, an Unprecedented Steroid−Sorbicillinoid Adduct From the Marine-Derived Endophyte of Aspergillus sp. Strain 1022LEF - Dong-Lin Zhao; Hai-Su Wang; Li-Wei Gao; Peng Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Marine natural products, characterized by fascinating drug-like functionalities and promising biological activities, are important base materials for innovative drugs and agrochemicals. Chemical investigations of the marine-algal-derived endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. 1022LEF residing in the inner tissue of marine red alga yielded a novel polyketide-terpene hybrid metabolite, namely tennessenoid A ( 1 ), as well as six known biosynthetic congeners including two steroids, ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one ( 2 ) and (22 E ,24 R )-3α-ureido-ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraene ( 3 ), and four sorbicillinoid-based compounds, saturnispol G ( 4 ), trichodimerol ( 5 ), and dihydrotrichodimer ethers A and B ( 6 and 7 ). Their structures were unambiguously determined based on extensive 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic analyses. Tennessenoid A ( 1 ) was characterized as an unprecedented steroid−sorbicillinoid adduct via a C−C bond, which was rarely-observed in natural products. All of the isolated compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activities against eight plant pathogenetic fungi. 1 , in particular, demonstrated broad-spectrum activities against Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc., Fusarium oxysporum (Schl.) F.sp cucumerinum Owen, Coniella diplodiella Petrak et Sydow, Physalospora piricola Nose., Fusarium graminearum schw., Alternaria mali rob., Colletotrichum orbiculare Arx., and Alternaria porri (E11iott) Cifed., with the inhibition zone diameters ranging from 2 to 7 mm.

Attribution of the seasonality of atmospheric heating changes over the western tropical Pacific with a focus on the spring season - Shuheng Lin; Song Yang; Shan He; Zhenning Li; Jiaxin Chen; Wenjie Dong; Jiaxue Wu (Climate Dynamics, 2022)
Atmospheric diabatic heating, a major driving force of atmospheric circulation over the tropics, is strongly confined to the tropical western North Pacific (TWNP) region, with the global warmest sea surface temperature (SST). The changes in diabatic heating over the TWNP, which exert great impacts on the global climate system, have recently exhibited a noticeable seasonal dependence with a remarkable increase in boreal spring. In this study, we applied observations, reanalysis data, and numerical experiments to investigate the causes of the seasonality in heating changes. Results show that in boreal spring convection is more sensitive to the TWNP SST, leading to a more significant enhancement of deep convection, although the increase in the SST is nearly the same as that in the other seasons. In the non-spring seasons, the enhanced convection due to increased local SST is suppressed by the anomalous anticyclonic wind shear over the TWNP, generated by the easterly wind anomalies induced by the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) warming via the Kevin waves. However, the TIO warming does not show any suppressing effect in spring because it is much weaker than that in the other seasons and thus the warming itself cannot induce sufficient convective heating anomalies to excite the Kelvin waves.

QTL identification, fine mapping, and marker development for breeding peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) resistant to bacterial wilt - Feiyan Qi; Ziqi Sun; Hua Liu; Zheng Zheng; Li Qin; Lei Shi; Qingzheng Chen; Haidong Liu; Xiufang Lin; Lijuan Miao; Mengdi Tian; Xiao Wang; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message A major QTL, qBWA12 , was fine mapped to a 216.68 kb physical region, and A12.4097252 was identified as a useful KASP marker for breeding peanut varieties resistant to bacterial wilt. Abstract Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum , is a major disease detrimental to peanut production in China. Breeding disease-resistant peanut varieties is the most economical and effective way to prevent the disease and yield loss. Fine mapping the QTLs for bacterial wilt resistance is critical for the marker-assisted breeding of disease-resistant varieties. A recombinant inbred population comprising 521 lines was used to construct a high-density genetic linkage map and to identify QTLs for bacterial wilt resistance following restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing. The genetic map, which included 5120 SNP markers, covered a length of 3179 cM with an average marker distance of 0.6 cM. Four QTLs for bacterial wilt resistance were mapped on four chromosomes. One major QTL, qBWA12 , with LOD score of 32.8–66.0 and PVE of 31.2–44.8%, was stably detected in all four development stages investigated over the 3 trial years. Additionally, qBWA12 spanned a 2.7 cM region, corresponding to approximately 0.4 Mb and was fine mapped to a 216.7 kb region by applying KASP markers that were polymorphic between the two parents based on whole-genome resequencing data. In a large collection of breeding and germplasm lines, it was proved that KASP marker A12.4097252 can be applied for the marker-assisted breeding to develop peanut varieties resistant to bacterial wilt. Of the 19 candidate genes in the region covered by qBWA12 , nine NBS-LRR genes should be further investigated regarding their potential contribution to the resistance of peanut against bacterial wilt.
