Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants that pose a global threat to the environment. Mangrove ecosystems, which contribute to biogeochemical cycles, are vulnerable to various anthropogenic disturbances and chemical pollutants. In this study, the abundance and the characteristics of MPs were investigated in 10 species of benthic organisms, including crabs, bivalves, and snails, from seven typical mangrove distribution areas, with a total of 15 sampling sites in Hainan, South China. The abundance of MPs in each sampling site ranged between 0.83 ± 1.32 and 12.00 ± 0.00 items/individual, with an average of 3.90 ± 3.31 items/individual, while the abundance of MPs varied between 0.17 and 2.00 items/individual for the different species. Fibers (80.13%) were the most abundant MPs, most of the MPs were brown (37.18%) or blue (26.64%), and more than 80% were small-sized plastic (<2 mm). Raman analysis showed that polypropylene (94.44%) was the most dominant type of polymer. In addition, crabs (with an average abundance of 1.10 ± 0.59 items/individual) showed a higher potential for accumulating MPs than the other species investigated in the present study. This study shows that MPs are widely distributed throughout benthic species in the mangrove wetlands of Hainan.

Two types of cold waves affecting northeast China and the corresponding different key regions of precedent sea ice and sea surface temperature - Yihe Fang; Yitong Lin; Chunyu Zhao; Shiqi Xu; Yi Lin; Yiqiu Yu (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Based on the daily minimum temperature data from 199 meteorological stations in northeast China (NEC), the cold wave (CW) processes in winter from 1980 to 2020 are identified. Then, by using the reanalysis 500‐hPa geopotential height data provided by the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the CWs are objectively classified into two types (abbreviated as Type 1 and Type 2) according to the corresponding atmospheric circulation through the hierarchical cluster algorithm (HCA). The relationships of the CWs with the Arctic sea sic (SIC) and sea surface temperature (SST) are revealed. For Type 1, the SIC in the north of the Barents Sea–Kara Sea is relatively less in the previous autumn, and a wave train propagating from the polar regions to Northeast Asia is stimulated under the ice–atmosphere interaction. This wave train further cooperates with the positive SST anomaly in the southern Indian Ocean to excite the low‐vortex circulation under the negative phase of Arctic Oscillation (AO) in winter, which is conducive to the occurrence of Type 1. However, the relatively low SST in the western Pacific warm pool in previous autumn stimulates a northward propagating wave train along the meridian, which increases the degree of meridionality of the atmospheric circulation over East Asia and thus indirectly causes the polar‐vortex‐splitting circulation under the positive AO phase, which favours the formation of Type 2. The numerical simulations can well reproduce the observational facts, further confirming the possible impact of the SIC and SST in the previous autumn on the two types of CW over the NEC.

Transcriptome Analysis Provides an Overview of Genes Involved in the Peculiar Food Preference at First-Feeding Stage in Mandarin Fish (Siniperca chuatsi) - Ling Li; Shu-Lin Tang; Shan He; Xu-Fang Liang (Fishes, 2022)
The mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is an important economic fish species in China. Many carnivorous fish larvae feed on zooplankton or microdiets. However, the mandarin fish larvae feed on live prey fish exclusively, while refusing zooplankton or microdiets. A stable supply of palatable live prey fish results in high costs. Moreover, the application of live prey fish might bring the risk of pathogens. However, little is known about the genes underlying the food preference of mandarin fish larvae. Partial offspring of the domesticated strain could feed brine shrimp from three days post-hatching (dph), the open mouth day. In the present study, the mandarin fish larvae were randomly divided into three groups, then treated differently at 3 dph: (1) unfed; (2) fed with live prey fish; (3) fed with brine shrimp (Artemia). Differentially expressed genes were identified by RNA-seq. The differential expression of the transcription factors involved in retinal photoreceptor development and differentiation might contribute to the intake of brine shrimp in mandarin fish larvae. Meanwhile, the digestive enzyme genes involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate digestion have been expressed in mandarin fish larvae at 3 dph, contributing to the digestion of ingested food. Our study provides an overview of genes and biological processes involved in the peculiar food preference at the first-feeding stage in mandarin fish larvae and has critical importance to the future application of non-fish live feeds in the culture of mandarin fish larvae.

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.

Purpose Reduced physical activity is reported in the elderly, especially in institutional residents. Institutionalized older adults exhibit a high prevalence of frailty. In this work, we developed an artificial intelligence of things (AIoT)-based feedback assistive strengthening ergometer (AIFASE), for the physical strengthening of the elderly with intelligent assistance. Methods We conducted a 12-week intervention in a long-term care facility. In total, 16 participants (84.38 ± 6.0 years; 4 males and 12 females) were recruited with 1:1 randomization of exercise to control groups. The muscle strength of the lower extremities, timed up and go test (TUG), and Short-form Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) of the participants were measured. The AIFASE system allows the clinical staff to record the personal physical performance of the elderly and generates personalized exercise prescriptions accordingly. AIFASE also displays the current usage status of all ergometers and the users’ physiological conditions. The algorithms were developed to generate warning alerts when the training workload was too large by personal physiological detection. AIFASE automatically customized the exercise prescription according to the user’s exercise performance. Results After a 12-week AIFASE intervention, the intervention group exhibited significant improvements in the strength of the hip flexor, Semi-Tandem Stand, and Tandem Stand. Conclusion In this study, we developed an AIoT ergometer that delivered customized physical training prescriptions to improve the physical performance of long-term care facility residents. We believe that the application of AIFASE will help improve the quality of institutional care.

A flocculation tensor to monitor water quality using a deep learning model - Guocheng Zhu; Jialin Lin; Haiquan Fang; Fang Yuan; Xiaoshang Li; Cheng Yuan; Andrew S. Hursthouse (Environmental Chemistry Letters, 2022)
The increasing quantities of polluted waters are calling for advanced purification methods. Flocculation is an essential component of the water purification process, yet flocculation is commonly not optimal due to our poor understanding of the flocculation process. In particular, there is little knowledge on the mechanisms ruling the migration of pollutants during treatment. Here we have created the first tensor diagram, a mathematical framework for the flocculation process, analyzed its properties with a deep learning model, and developed a classification scheme for its relationship with pollutants. The tensor was constructed by combining pixel matrices from a variety of floc images, each with a particular flocculation period. Changing the factors used to make flocs images, such as coagulant dose and pH, resulted in tensors, which were used to generate matrices, that is the tensor diagram. Our deep learning algorithm employed a tensor diagram to identify pollution levels. Results show tensor map attributes with over 98% of sample images correctly classified. This approach offers potential to reduce the time delay of feedback from the flocculation process with deep learning categorization based on its clustering capabilities. The advantage of the tensor data from the flocculation process improves the efficiency and speed of response for commercial water treatment.

Long‐term drought aggravates instability of alpine grassland productivity to extreme climatic event - Yun L. He; Jin S. Wang; Da S. Tian; Quan Quan; Lin Jiang; Fang F. Ma; Lu Yang; Fang Y. Zhang; Qing P. Zhou; Shu L. Niu (Ecology, 2022)
The frequency and severity of extreme weather events are increasing and expected to increase more in the future, together with global change. However, how extreme events and global change factors interactively influence community structures and ecosystem processes is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the responses of the temporal stability and resilience of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) of an alpine meadow to an extreme flooding event under different treatments of experimental drought and clipping. We found that ecosystems that were exposed to drought treatments for 3 years significantly decreased the temporal stability of community productivity but increased resilience to flooding, whereas their resistance to or recovery from flooding did not change. Neither clipping nor its interaction with drought altered the responses of these community stability metrics to flooding. Drought treatments significantly decreased plant species richness and asynchrony and dominant species stability, leading to a decrease in temporal stability and an increase in resilience in response to the extreme flooding event. The study also revealed that the change in species asynchrony was the dominant impact pathway determining the responses of resilience and temporal stability to flooding. Our results highlight that alpine grassland that experiences a multiyear drought may aggravate the instability of community productivity to extreme climatic events by reducing species asynchrony.

Evaluation of the Potential of the Hard Clam (Meretrix meretrix) Shell Which Can Be Used as the Bioindicator for Heavy Metal Accumulation - Yen-Ting Lin; Fang-Chi Chang; Ming-Tsung Chung; Ze-Kai Li; Chang-Chuan Chan; Ying-Sheng Huang; Kuo-Fang Huang; Yu-San Han (Fishes, 2022)
Clams, Meretrix meretrix, were one of the favorite aquatic products in Taiwan and the world. It was reported that the water pollutants such as heavy metals and chemicals might accumulate in the clam body and shell through filter-feeding behavior. Thus, the bivalves could be used as bioindicators in the aquatic environment. The present study analyzed 20 trace elements, Mg, Sr, Li, Cd, Ba, Mn, Al, U, Ti, Pb, Nd, B, S, Zn, Fe, P, Na, K, Cu, and Ni, in the shells of the clams collected from the wild coastal area and cultured ponds to evaluate which elements have the potential to be biomarkers. The concentrations of 20 elements were detected by Solution-Based Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (SB-ICPMS). Among them, Cd, Al, U, Ti, Nd, S, and K were below the detection limit. The remaining elements were analyzed for accumulation. The levels of Zn, Fe, and Ni possess high variation in an identical environment; so, a PCA was conducted without these three elements to reduce noise. The PCA result proved that the clam could absorb specific trace elements from the habitat. After a period of time, the contents of the absorption in the shells of the clams living in an identical environment became more similar. The analyzed element, Pb, was not found with a special difference in this study. The levels of Na, Sr, Mg, B, Mn, P, Ba, Li, and Cu reflected different sampling sites, which suggested that these elements in the species M. meretrix had the potential to be used as biomarkers for assessing heavy metal accumulation in the environment.

Fatty Acid Profile of Jumbo Squid (Dosidicus gigas) off the Peruvian Exclusive Economic Zone: Revealing the Variability of Feeding Strategies - Guanyu Hu; Zhenfang Zhao; Bilin Liu; Dongming Lin; Jiawei Liang; Zhou Fang; Xinjun Chen (Fishes, 2022)
Jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas play a critical role in the marine ecosystems and are an important commercial species in the East Pacific. Generally, three size groups have been distinguished on the basis of the mantle length (ML) of an adult. Here, fatty acid (FA) analyses of muscle tissues were used to explore the feeding strategies of D. gigas off the Peruvian exclusive economic zone in terms of different size groups and sexes. There was no significant difference in fatty acid composition between the small- and medium-sized groups, whereas the large-sized group differed significantly from other groups. The higher content of C20:4n6 and (C18:2n6 + C18:3n3) indicates that the large-sized group may feed more frequently in nearshore and deep waters. Furthermore, the niches of the three size groups were consistent with the results of fatty acid composition, with the large-sized group occupying the widest trophic niche, followed by the medium-sized group and then the small-sized group. In addition, there was evidence of trophic niche overlap between the small and medium groups. In terms of sexual variability of the small and medium groups, the fatty acid composition significantly differed between females and males. In terms of sexual variation of the large group, the fatty acid composition between females and males was similar, indicating that similar feeding strategies may be adopted by them. This study revealed the variability of the feeding strategies of three size groups of D. gigas off the Peruvian exclusive economic zone.

An Analytical Solution of Transient Wave Generation in the Wave Channel - Cheng-Tsung Chen; Jaw-Fang Lee; Kuei-Ting Lin; Pi-Sheng Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Transient characteristics of wave generation in the wave channel can provide unique and important information in contrast to the steady and periodic motion of propagation waves. In this paper, a new analytical solution is proposed for a transient wavemaker problem in the wave channel. The mathematical model of the wavemaker problem is established based on the linear potential wave theory, and a new analytical solution for the corresponding initial and boundary-value problem is presented. The present solution methodology is motivated and developed from old methods shown in literature. The present solution can be mathematically reformulated and shown to be identical to the previous solution using different solution methodology. The present analytical solution is further compared with numerical results and experiments to validate the mathematical model. The present solution is used to calculate the steady state generated wave forms that compare very well with the steady wave theory both in wave length and wave period. The present solution is also used to study unsteady characteristics of wave heights and wave lengths of the leading waves.

Chemical and biological diversity of new natural products from marine sponges: a review (2009–2018) - Li-Li Hong; Ya-Fang Ding; Wei Zhang; Hou-Wen Lin (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2022)
Marine sponges are productive sources of bioactive secondary metabolites with over 200 new compounds isolated each year, contributing 23% of approved marine drugs so far. This review describes statistical research, structural diversity, and pharmacological activity of sponge derived new natural products from 2009 to 2018. Approximately 2762 new metabolites have been reported from 180 genera of sponges this decade, of which the main structural types are alkaloids and terpenoids, accounting for 50% of the total. More than half of new molecules showed biological activities including cytotoxic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, and antimalarial activities. As summarized in this review, macrolides and peptides had higher proportions of new bioactive compounds in new compounds than other chemical classes. Every chemical class displayed cytotoxicity as the dominant activity. Alkaloids were the major contributors to antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities while steroids were primarily responsible for pest resistance activity. Alkaloids, terpenoids, and steroids displayed the most diverse biological activities. The statistic research of new compounds by published year, chemical class, sponge taxonomy, and biological activity are presented. Structural novelty and significant bioactivities of some representative compounds are highlighted. Marine sponges are rich sources of novel bioactive compounds and serve as animal hosts for microorganisms, highlighting the undisputed potential of sponges in the marine drugs research and development.

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.

Vertical patterns of chlorophyll a in the euphotic layer are related to mesoscale eddies in the South China Sea - Mei-Lin Wu; You-Shao Wang; Yu-Tu Wang; Fu-Lin Sun; Xiaomei Li; Fang-Fang Gu; Jing-Chang Xiang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Phytoplankton closely connects with the hydrodynamics and biogeochemical environment of the ocean. While research focusing on both the physiochemical factors and hydrodynamics regulating phytoplankton has already been conducted, the coupling mechanism between mesoscale eddies and the vertical distribution of phyto plankton in the South China Sea (SCS) is still not well understood. Here, phytoplankton was studied under one weak-cold and two warm eddies along the 18°N transect in the SCS. The results show that the vertical distribution of chlorophyll (chl- a ) presented a similar pattern at all four sampling stations. The mixed layer is less than 50 m. It is the same as the meridional salinity gradients that may be distinguished above a depth of 60 m. The subsurface chlorophyll maximum at the edge of a warm (WI) and cold eddy (CI) at E413 and E411 was shallower than that at the edge of a warm eddy (WII) at E407 and E409, indicating that temperature and salinity may be the important driving factors. On the whole, mesoscale eddies had a significant influence on the vertical pattern of chl- a in the SCS during the study period.

Identification of a Novel Species, Cladonema digitatum sp. nov. (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Cladonematidae), Using DNA Barcoding and Life Cycle Analyses - Xinyu Fang; Shen Lin; Yuting Zhang; Zonghua Wang; Konglin Zhou; Jianming Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
In this study, a new Cladonema species was identified in a laboratory aquarium in Fuzhou, China, and named Cladonema digitatum sp. nov. based on its morphological characteristics and DNA barcoding. It is distinct from other Cladonema medusae in having a manubrium with finger-like protuberances, radial canals with Y-shaped bifurcations, tentacles with 3–11 adhesive branches, and 3–7 stinging branches growing from the main branch as side branches. The validity of C. digitatum sp. nov. was supported by molecular phylogenetic analyses based on both mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase and mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences. Similar to other Cladonema medusae, the adhesive and stinging branches of each tentacle, oral tentacle, manubrium, and gonads in C. digitatum displayed considerable phenotypic plasticity, thus making species identification based solely on morphology difficult. Although diagnostic characters such as filiform tentacles and medusa buds of hydroids and nematocysts are also useful for species identification in the genus Cladonema , related information is missing in some Cladonema species. Thus, information on the life cycle and DNA barcoding should be updated to describe new or cryptic species and to improve the taxonomy of the genus Cladonema .

Ocean acidification in the Western Pacific: Boron isotopic composition recorded in a tropical massive coral core from Lanyu Islet SE Taiwan - Chen-Feng You; P-Y. Lin; Kuo-Fang Huang; Chuan-Hsiung Chung; Zhifei Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Boron (B) and B isotopic compositions (δ 11 B) in biogenic carbonates are useful proxies for pH reconstruction in the ocean. However, high-resolution archives are scarce due to associated sampling and analytical difficulty. In this study, a modern long-lived massive coral skeleton ( Porites lobata ) from Lanyu Islet off southeast Taiwan was drilled and used for high-resolution major/trace element analyses, including trace elements B and δ 11 B, as well as oxygen and carbon isotopes, to investigate the associated environmental changes during 1991–1997. To avoid complicated biological influence, the top-most tissue layer was excluded in this study. The coralline records show a clear temporal trend in metal/Ca-based sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on annual and monthly timescales. In particular, the Mg/Ca-SSTs, the most sensitive temperature proxy at the site, show a significant warming trend (+0.2°C year −1 ) during the study period. On the other hand, subtle changes in the annual δ 11 B record were identified, corresponding to ~0.2 pH unit, which is comparable with other coral records in the Pacific, e.g., the South China Sea (SCS), Guam Island, Flinders, and Arlington Reef, as well as the in-situ seawater pH measurement at Hawaii station. This corresponds to an acidification rate of ~0.25 pH unit 100 year −1 , similar to other coralline data, in-situ pH/pCO 2 measurement, or model predictions, and emphasizes the importance of ocean acidification due to anthropogenic activities. Combined with the Mg/Ca-SST, the intra-annual data show a clear seasonal cycle with higher pH in winter, consistent with the pCO 2 at the oceanic surface. These chemical and isotopic results in corals conclude that marine biogenic carbonates are informative for oceanic pH reconstruction and can provide new insights into the relationships between climate changes and environmental responses on the coast of Taiwan.

Transcriptome study on immune response against Vibrio parahaemolyticus challenge in gill of abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino - Yan Fang; Xiyun Yang; Shujuan Zhang; Xuyang Chen; Gang Lin; Yuqing Zhang; Mengjiao Wang; Mingzhu Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Abalone ( Haliotis discus hannai Ino) is one of the most vital economic shellfish cultured in China. However, bacterial and viral infection often leads to its high mortality and serious economic losses. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on gill of abalone challenged by Vibrio parahaemolyticus for 0 h (control group, A0h), 8 h (A8h), and 48 h (A48h), respectively. Each library has an average of 53,361,675 clean reads. Approximately 85.71% reads were mapped to the reference genome of Haliotis discus hannai Ino. In comparison with A0h group, 7,656 and 2,789 genes were differentially expressed in the A8h and A48h groups, respectively. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mostly enriched in oxidation–reduction process and oxidoreductase activity from GO analysis as well as immunity and metabolism-related pathways from Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis. Cluster analysis demonstrated that all DEGs were categorized into eight subclusters by adopting the gene expression model. Specifically, a total of 1,070 significantly downregulated genes from two clusters were related to some metabolic pathways, ABC transporters, and cell adhesion. Moreover, 212 upregulated genes in one subcluster were enriched in several immune-related pathways, including nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor signaling pathway and apoptosis. Some members of the pattern recognition receptors family, which can initiate inflammatory signaling and induce apoptosis, were stimulated to upregulate in gill after challenge including C1q, perlucin, and low-density lipoprotein receptor–related protein. In addition, caspase-dependent apoptosis pathway was inactive, whereas caspase-independent apoptosis pathway was stimulating in response to Vibrio challenge. To eliminate invading pathogen, the immune effectors such as interleukin-17, matrix metalloproteinase, lysozyme, superoxide, and ferritin were also stimulated in gill. Moreover, this study also provides more information for comprehending the immunity and defense mechanisms against V. parahaemolyticus infection in abalone.

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.

Genetic Diversity Evaluation and Population Structure Analysis of Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) from Lakes and Rice Fields by SSR Markers - Xin-Fen Guo; Min Liu; Yu-Lin Zhou; Wen-Yu Wei; Zhi Li; Li Zhou; Zhong-Wei Wang; Jian-Fang Gui (Fishes, 2022)
The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is an important aquatic animal and has developed as a popular aquaculture species in China. In this study, a total of 72,839 SSR motifs were identified from transcriptional data, and 20 microsatellite markers of them were finally developed to assess the genetic diversities of seven wild populations from natural lakes and nine cultured populations from rice fields. Genetic diversity was slightly higher in the cultured populations than in the wild populations. The degree of genetic differentiation between cultured populations is slight, while a moderate to a large degree of genetic differentiation between wild populations and most of the variations occurred within individuals (79%). The analysis of cluster, principal coordinate analysis and STRUCTURE were similar, and they showed that isolation-by-distance pattern was not significant. The microsatellite markers developed in this study can not only be used for genetic monitoring of population but also provide important information for the management of breeding and cultured population in red swamp crayfish.

Sandstorms cause shrinkage of Haloxylon ammodendron shrubs and limit their self-renewal - Sheng-bo Shi; Dang-wei Zhou; Fang-lin Wang; Rui Shi; Tao Sun; Tian-cai Li; Jia-lin Ma; Xiang Wan; Jian-ping Ma; Jing-nian Tang (Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology, 2022)
Haloxylon ammodendron is an excellent windproof and sand-fixing species whose shrubs are widely cultivated in arid desert areas of northwest China but are now at risk of degradation and shrinkage. Using the chlorophyll fluorescence image analysis technique, the response of photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency and non-photochemical quenching capacity to sediment-carrying wind and sand-free wind (both 12 m s −1 ) lasting for 10, 20, and 40 min were studied with seedlings in a wind tunnel. The results indicated that the sand-free wind had little influence on the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry, F v / F m , which was approximately 0.80 on average; however, the F v / F m decreased over exposure time in the sediment-carrying wind group, with values smaller than those in the wind-only group. The non-photochemical quenching was sensitive to wind erosion, and sediment-carrying wind could aggravate the reduction in non-photochemical quenching ( NPQ ). Except for the 10 min duration, the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry after dark recovery for 15 min, F v r / F m r , was lower in seedlings exposed to sediment-carrying wind than in those in the wind-only group. Compared to wind-only, wind-blown sand led to a water imbalance and withering in seedlings, causing the concentration of photosynthetic pigments (when based on the fresh mass of green branches) to not decrease. With a longer exposure time to sediment-carrying wind, both the probability and extent of lignified spots occurring increased in green assimilative branches. Our results demonstrated that sediment-carrying wind at 12 m s −1 lasting for 20 min or more could cause irreversible damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of H. ammodendron seedlings. Therefore, frequent and strong sandstorms are the main disturbance factors leading to shrinkage of shrubs and limiting their self-renewal.

Optimization of aquaculture sustainability through ecological intensification in China - Shuang‐lin Dong; Yun‐wei Dong; Ling Cao; Johan Verreth; Yngvar Olsen; Wen‐jing Liu; Qi‐zhi Fang; Yan‐gen Zhou; Li Li; Jing‐yu Li; Yong‐tong Mu; Patrick Sorgeloos (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2022)
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.

A Time-Domain Analytic Solution of Flow-Induced Undular Bores - Cheng-Tsung Chen; Jaw-Fang Lee; Hubert Chanson; Kuei-Ting Lin; Chun-Jih Lin (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In this study, the problem of surface waves induced by water flow in a flow channel was investigated. The mathematical model based on the potential wave theory was established, and a new analytic solution to the corresponding initial and boundary value problem was proposed. To confirm our analytic solution, the mathematical model was applied to simulate experiments conducted in a flow channel in the laboratory. Using our analytic solution, water surface elevations and flow velocities at certain locations in the channel were compared with experimental results. Comparisons between our analytic solution and experimental results confirmed our theory that amplitudes and propagating phases are in very close agreement. Our analytic solution can be used to calculate variations in pressure and velocity along the water depth, which are expensive to calibrate and obtain in experiments. Although our analytic solution was established based on linear theory, it is very practical for applications studying the basic properties of surface elevation, velocity, and pressure of the flow field induced by water current both in space and time.

Detection of the Sinking State of Liquid Oil in Breaking Waves Based on Synthesized Data: A Behavior Process Study of Sunken and Submerged Oil - Shibiao Fang; Lin Mu; Kuan Liu; Darong Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In computer vision, pollutant detection is a highly concerning issue, and it has been widely used in the fields of pollutant identification, tracking, and precise positioning. In the ocean, oil tends to disperse into the water column as droplets under breaking waves, and it is called sunken and submerged oil. Aiming at the most difficult issue of identifying liquid submerged oil pollution, this paper proposes a method of synthesized data containing specific markers for oil detection. The Canny operator was used to remove the background of the liquid submerged oil. Then, affine transformation was applied to simulate the real situation of oil deformation. Linear mapping was presented by matrix multiplication, and translation was represented by vector addition. At last, bilinear interpolation was used to integrate the oil into the image of the laboratory pictures. In addition, this research randomly added interference information, so that the probability distribution of synthesized data was closer to the probability distribution of the real data. Then, this paper combined various methods to improve the accuracy of liquid oil detection, such as Feature Pyramid Networks, RoIAlign, difficult sample mining. Based on the above methods, 1838 images were synthesized in this paper and combined into a training set. The results show that the average accuracy of the oil detection is increased by 79.72%. The accuracy of the synthesized data method for labeled oil detection was 18.56% higher than that of oil detection without labeling. This research solves the difficulty of obtaining sunken and submerged oil images and the high cost of image annotation.

Dissecting the Neural Circuitry for Pain Modulation and Chronic Pain: Insights from Optogenetics - Fang Guo; Yu Du; Feng-Hui Qu; Shi-Da Lin; Zhong Chen; Shi-Hong Zhang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage. The processing of pain involves complicated modulation at the levels of the periphery, spinal cord, and brain. The pathogenesis of chronic pain is still not fully understood, which makes the clinical treatment challenging. Optogenetics, which combines optical and genetic technologies, can precisely intervene in the activity of specific groups of neurons and elements of the related circuits. Taking advantage of optogenetics, researchers have achieved a body of new findings that shed light on the cellular and circuit mechanisms of pain transmission, pain modulation, and chronic pain both in the periphery and the central nervous system. In this review, we summarize recent findings in pain research using optogenetic approaches and discuss their significance in understanding the pathogenesis of chronic pain.

Probiotics and their Metabolites Reduce Oxidative Stress in Middle-Aged Mice - Wen-Yang Lin; Jia-Hung Lin; Yi-Wei Kuo; Pei-Fang Rose Chiang; Hsieh-Hsun Ho (Current Microbiology, 2022)
Aging is an irreversible physiological degradation of living organisms. Accumulated oxidative stress and dysbiosis accelerate aging. Probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and their fermented metabolites (postbiotics) have been discovered to exhibit antioxidative activities that regulate oxidative stress and protect cells from oxidative damage. We screened selected Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains and their postbiotics for potential antioxidative activity by using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay. Strains with their metabolites were selected for mixed formula in experiments involving aging mice. The aged groups presented higher oxidative stress in the brain, liver, heart, and kidney than did young mice. However, treatment with probiotic strains and their postbiotics elevated antioxidative levels, especially in the high-dose probiotics plus postbiotics group. Next-generation sequencing data revealed positive microbiota alterations of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia in the gut. Lactobacillus johnsonii and Akkermansia muciniphila exhibited effective enlargement of relative abundance. Besides, high-dose probiotics and high-dose probiotics plus postbiotics showed significant elevation in serum SCFAs, especially in butyrate.

Interannual climate variability has predominant effects on seedling survival in a temperate forest - Zhichao Xu; Daniel J. Johnson; Kai Zhu; Fei Lin; Ji Ye; Zuoqiang Yuan; Zikun Mao; Shuai Fang; Zhanqing Hao; Xugao Wang (Ecology, 2022)
Mechanisms such as conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) and niche partitioning have been proposed to explain species coexistence and community diversity. However, as a potentially important axis of niche partitioning, the role of interannual climate variability in driving local community dynamics remains largely unknown. Here we used a 15‐year monitoring data set of more than 53,000 seedlings in a temperate forest to examine (1) what are the relative effects of interannual climate variability, biotic interactions, and habitat conditions on seedling survival; (2) how the effects of biotic interactions change with interannual climate variability, and habitat conditions; and (3) whether the impacts of interannual climate variability, biotic interactions, and habitat conditions differ with plant traits. Interannual climate variability accounted for the most variation in seedling survival at the community level, followed by biotic interactions, and habitat conditions. Increased snowpack and decreased minimum temperature during the non‐growing season had positive effects on seedling survival. Effects of conspecific neighbor density were weakened in higher snowpack, effective accumulated temperature, elevation, and soil‐resource gradient, but were intensified with increased ultraviolet radiation, maximum precipitation, minimum temperature, and soil moisture. In addition, the relative importance of interannual climate variability versus biotic interactions differed depending on species‐trait groups. Specifically, biotic interactions for gravity‐dispersed species had a larger effect size in affecting seedling survival than other trait groups. Also, gravity‐dispersed species experienced a stronger CNDD than wind‐dispersed, probably because wind‐dispersed seedlings rarely had adult conspecifics nearby. We found that interannual climate variability was most strongly associated with seedling survival, but the magnitude of climatic effects varied among species‐trait groups. Interannual climate variability may act as an inhibitor or accelerator to density‐dependent interactions and should be accounted for in future studies, as both a potential direct and indirect factor in understanding the diversity of forest communities.

Towards a rapid assessment of highway slope disasters by using multidisciplinary techniques - Meng-Chia Weng; Cheng-Han Lin; Wen-Jie Shiu; Wei-An Chao; Chia-Chi Chiu; Ching-Fang Lee; Wei-Kai Huang; Che-Ming Yang (Landslides, 2022)
Mega-earthquakes and extreme climate events accompanied by intrinsic fragile geology lead to numerous landslides along mountain highways in Taiwan, causing enormous life and economic losses. In this study, a system for rapid slope disaster information integration and assessment is proposed with the aim of providing information on landslide occurrence, failure mechanisms, and subsequent landslide-affected areas to the highway authority rapidly. The functionality of the proposed system is deployed into three units: (1) geohazard rapid report (GeoPORT I), (2) multidisciplinary geological survey report (GeoPORT II), and (3) site-specific landslide simulation report (GeoPORT III). After landslide occurrence, the seismology-based monitoring network rapidly provides the initial slope disaster information, including preliminary location, event magnitude, earthquake activity, and source dynamics, within an hour. Within 3 days of the landslide, a multidisciplinary geological survey is conducted to collect high-precision topographical, geological, and remote-sensing data to determine the possible failure mechanism. After integrating the aforementioned information, a full-scale three-dimensional landslide simulation based on the discrete element method is performed within 10 days to reveal the failure process and to identify the areas potentially affected by subsequent disasters through scenario modeling. Overall, the proposed system can promptly provide comprehensive and objective information to relevant authorities after the event occurrence for hazard assessment. The proposed system was validated using a landslide event in the Central Cross-Island Highway of Taiwan.

Genome survey sequencing of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) and genetic diversity analysis of Chinese germplasm with genomic SSR markers - Lin Ma; Xiao Wang; Min Yan; Fang Liu; Shuxing Zhang; Xuemin Wang (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Background Common vetch ( Vicia sativa L.) is an annual legume with excellent suitability in cold and dry regions. Despite its great applied potential, the genomic information regarding common vetch currently remains unavailable. Methods and results In the present study, the whole genome survey of common vetch was performed using the next-generation sequencing (NGS). A total of 79.84 Gbp high quality sequence data were obtained and assembled into 3,754,145 scaffolds with an N50 length of 3556 bp. According to the K-mer analyses, the genome size, heterozygosity rate and GC content of common vetch genome were estimated to be 1568 Mbp, 0.4345 and 35%, respectively. In addition, a total of 76,810 putative simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified. Among them, dinucleotide was the most abundant SSR type (44.94%), followed by Tri- (35.82%), Tetra- (13.22%), Penta- (4.47%) and Hexanucleotide (1.54%). Furthermore, a total of 58,175 SSR primer pairs were designed and ten of them were validated in Chinese common vetch. Further analysis showed that Chinese common vetch harbored high genetic diversity and could be clustered into two main subgroups. Conclusion This is the first report about the genome features of common vetch, and the information will help to design whole genome sequencing strategies. The newly identified SSRs in this study provide basic molecular markers for germplasm characterization, genetic diversity and QTL mapping studies for common vetch.

Roles of Crustacean Female Sex Hormone 1a in a Protandric Simultaneous Hermaphrodite Shrimp - Fang Liu; Wenyuan Shi; Lin Huang; Guizhong Wang; Zhihuang Zhu; Haihui Ye (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Crustacean female sex hormone (CFSH) plays a pivotal role in the development of secondary sex characteristics in dioecious crustaceans. However, until now the knowledge concerning its functions in hermaphroditic species is scanty. Herein, we explored the function of CFSH ( Lvit-CFSH1a ) in the peppermint shrimp Lysmata vittata , a species characterized by a rare reproductive system of protandric simultaneous hermaphroditism (PSH). Lvit-CFSH1a cDNA was 1,220-bp in length with a 720-bp ORF encoded a polypeptide of 239-aa. RT-PCR showed that Lvit-CFSH1a was exclusively expressed in the eyestalk ganglion. For female physiology, it was found that Lvit- CFSH1a was indispensable for the development of female gonopores, but it might not involve vitellogenesis of the species. For male physiology, Lvit- CFSH1a suppressed Lvit-IAG2 expression in short-term silencing experiment and recombinant protein injection experiment, but did not affect male sexual differentiation in long-term silencing experiment. In addition, silencing the Lvit-CFSH1a gene impeded individual growth in L. vittata.

Fighting climate change: soil bacteria communities and topography play a role in plant colonization of desert areas - Xiao Sun; Jin Pei; Lei Zhao; Bashir Ahmad; Lin‐Fang Huang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Global warming has exacerbated desertification in arid regions. Exploring the environmental variables and microbial communities that drive the dynamics of geographic patterns of desert crops is important for large‐scale standardization of crops that can control desertification. Here, predictions based on future climate data from CMIP6 show that a steady expand in the suitable production areas for three desert plants ( Cistanche deserticola , Cynomorium songaricum and Cistanche salsa ) under global warming, demonstrating their high adaptability to future climate change. We examined the biogeography of three desert plant soil bacteria communities and assessed the environmental factors affecting the community assembly process. The α‐diversity significantly decreased along elevated latitudes, indicating that the soil bacterial communities of the three species have latitude diversity patterns. The neutral community model evaluated 66.6% of the explained variance of the bacterial community in the soil of desert plants and Modified Stochasticity Ratio Streptomyces eurythermus and OTU4672: Streptomyces flaveus ) drive the colonization of three desert plants. This research offers a promising solution for desert management in arid areas under global warming.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is clinically defined by alternating depressive and manic episodes with a separated period of euthymia. Thalamo-frontal loop plays vital role in psychotic symptoms, altered motor control and executive difficulties in BD. It remains unclear that structural and functional alterations of thalamo-frontal loop among the different mood states in BD, especially in pediatric BD(PBD). Twenty manic PBD (mPBD), 20 euthymic PBD (ePBD) and 19 healthy controls (HCs) were included in the study. By analyzing the T1 images and fMRI signals, thalamus volume and frontal grey matter cortical thickness were tested, and functional connectivity (FC) between bilateral thalamus and frontal cortex was calculated. Relationship between clinical indices and thalamo-frontal FC was also evaluated in mPBD and ePBD adolescents. Compared to HCs, the cortical thickness of left middle frontal gyrus (MFG), bilateral superior frontal gyrus (SFG) was significantly decreased in both mPBD and ePBD patients, and volume of left thalamus and cortical thickness of right MFG significantly decreased in mPBD patients. Compared to that of the HCs and ePBD subjects, thalamo-frontal hyperconnectivity with MFG was found in mPBD, and compared with that of HCs, thalamo-frontal hypoconnectivity with precentral gyrus/SFG was found in ePBD. In ePBD patients, episode times positively correlated with FC values between thalamus and precentral gyrus. The findings of the present study demonstrate detailed knowledge regarding shared and specific structural and functional disruption in thalamo-frontal loop in mPBD and ePBD subjects. Thalamo-frontal abnormalities reported in adult BD subjects were also observed in adolescent BD patients, and thalamo-frontal dysfunction may be a crucial treatment target in BD.

Numerical Investigation on Hydrodynamic Performance of a Portable AUV - Lin Hong; Renjie Fang; Xiaotian Cai; Xin Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
This paper conducts a numerical investigation on the hydrodynamic performance of a portable autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The portable AUV is designed to cruise and perform some tasks autonomously in the underwater world. However, its dynamic performance is strongly affected by hydrodynamic effects. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the hydrodynamic performance of the portable AUV for its accurate dynamic modeling and control. In this work, based on the designed portable AUV, a comprehensive hydrodynamic performance investigation was conducted by adopting the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Firstly, the mechanical structure of the portable AUV was briefly introduced, and the dynamic model of the AUV, including the hydrodynamic term, was established. Then, the unknown hydrodynamic coefficients in the dynamic model were estimated through the towing experiment and the plane-motion-mechanism (PMM) experiment simulation. In addition, considering that the portable AUV was affected by wave forces when cruising near the water surface, the influence of surface waves on the hydrodynamic performance of the AUV under different wave conditions and submerged depths was analyzed. Finally, the effectiveness of our method was verified by experiments on the standard models, and a physical experiment platform was built in this work to facilitate hydrodynamic performance investigations of some portable small-size AUVs.

Divergent above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity pathways mediate disturbance impacts on temperate forest multifunctionality - Zuoqiang Yuan; Arshad Ali; Michel Loreau; Fang Ding; Shufang Liu; Anvar Sanaei; Wangming Zhou; Ji Ye; Fei Lin; Shuai Fang; Zhanqing Hao; Xugao Wang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Biodiversity plays a fundamental role in provisioning and regulating forest ecosystem functions and services. Above‐ground (plants) and below‐ground (soil microbes) biodiversity could have asynchronous change paces to human‐driven land‐use impacts. Yet, we know very little how they affect the provision of multiple forest functions related to carbon accumulation, water retention capacity and nutrient cycling simultaneously (i.e. ecosystem multifunctionality; EMF). We used a dataset of 22,000 temperate forest trees from 260 plots within 11 permanent forest sites in Northeastern China, which are recovering from three post‐logging disturbances. We assessed the direct and mediating effects of multiple attributes of plant biodiversity (taxonomic, phylogenetic, functional and stand structure) and soil biodiversity (bacteria and fungi) on EMF under the three disturbance levels. We found the highest EMF in highly disturbed rather than undisturbed mature forests. Plant taxonomic, phylogenetic, functional and stand structural diversity had both positive and negative effects on EMF, depending on how the EMF index was quantified, whereas soil microbial diversity exhibited a consistent positive impact. Biodiversity indices explained on average 45% (26%–58%) of the variation in EMF, whereas climate and disturbance together explained on average 7% (0.4%–15%). Our result highlighted that the tremendous effect of biodiversity on EMF, largely overpassing those of both climate and disturbance. While above‐ ( β = 0.02–0.19) and below‐ground ( β = 0.16–0.26) biodiversity had direct positive effects on EMF, their opposite mediating effects ( β = −0.22 vs. β = 0.35 respectively) played as divergent pathways to human disturbance impacts on EMF. Our study sheds light on the need for integrative frameworks simultaneously considering above‐ and below‐ground attributes to grasp the global picture of biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and services. Suitable management interventions could maintain both plant and soil microbial biodiversity, and thus guarantee a long‐term functioning and provisioning of ecosystem services in an increasing disturbance frequency world.
