Observed spatio‐temporal changes of winter snow albedo over the north‐west Himalaya - H. S. Negi; P. Datt; N. K. Thakur; A. Ganju; V. K. Bhatia; G. Vinay Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
This study presents the spatio‐temporal winter snow albedo analysis over different mountain ranges of north‐west Himalaya ( NWH ) for a period of approximately 24 years. Here we assess the temporal albedo variations in past two decades (1991–2010) in comparison to the recent 14 years (2000–2014). The field collected manual data of two representative observatories of Lower Himalaya ( LH ) and Great Himalaya ( GH ), and six automatic weather stations in LH , GH and Karakoram Himalaya ( KH ) were analysed. Satellite derived MODIS albedo data (MOD10A1) over these stations between 2001 and 2014 were analysed. A good correlation ( r = 0.59) was observed between monthly average MODIS retrieved albedo and field collected albedo for GH with a relative error of 11%. In past two decades, a statistically significant (99%) decreasing rate of −0.011 per year in winter snow albedo was observed over GH (1993–2010), while in recent decade (2001 onward), no statistically significant increasing trend was observed. The change in albedo of GH is attributed to winter mean air temperature, which shows a significant rise in the past two decades, but there has been a hiatus in winter mean air temperature rise in recent decade. The higher winter mean air temperature above 0 °C since beginning of the study period (1991 onward) kept albedo of moist/wet snow approximately stable in LH . Further, insignificant increasing trend of albedo was observed over KH range in recent decade, and it is attributed to persistent very low temperatures and an increase in the frequency of snowfall days. This albedo study over NWH supports the recently reported findings on Himalayan snow cover and glacier variations during different durations.

Immune responses of whiteleg shrimp, L itopenaeus vannamei ( B oone, 1931), to bacterially expressed ds RNA specific to VP 28 gene of white spot syndrome virus - G Taju; N Madan; S Abdul Majeed; T Raj Kumar; S Thamizhvanan; S K Otta; A S Sahul Hameed (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2015)
In this study, dsRNA specific to VP28 gene of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) of shrimp was synthesized in E scherichia coli in large scale and studied the immune response of shrimp to dsRNA‐VP28. The haematological parameters such as clotting time and total haemocytes counts, and immunological parameters such as prophenoloxidase (proPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), superoxide anion (SOA) and malondialdehyde content, as well as the mRNA expression of ten immune‐related genes were examined to estimate the effect of dsRNA‐VP28 on the innate immunity of L itopenaeus vannamei . The activities of proPO, SOA and SOD significantly increased in haemocyte after dsRNA‐VP28 treatment, whereas MDA content did not change significantly. Among the ten immune‐related genes examined, only the mRNA expression of proPO, cMnSOD , haemocyanin, crustin, BGBP, lipopolysaccharides (LPs), lectin and lysozyme in haemocytes, gill and hepatopancreas of L. vannamei , was significantly upregulated at 12 h after dsRNA‐VP28 treatment, while no significant expression changes were observed in Toll receptor and tumour receptor genes. The increase of proPO and SOD activities, and SOA level and mRNA expression level of proPO, cMnSOD , haemocyanin, crustin, BGBP, LPs, lectin and lysozyme after dsRNA‐VP28 stimulation indicate that these immune‐related genes were involved in dsRNA‐VP28‐induced innate immunity in shrimp.

CTFS ‐Forest GEO : a worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change - Kristina J. Anderson‐Teixeira; Stuart J. Davies; Amy C. Bennett; Erika B. Gonzalez‐Akre; Helene C. Muller‐Landau; S. Joseph Wright; Kamariah Abu Salim; Angélica M. Almeyda Zambrano; Alfonso Alonso; Jennifer L. Baltzer; Yves Basset; Norman A. Bourg; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2015)
Global change is impacting forests worldwide, threatening biodiversity and ecosystem services including climate regulation. Understanding how forests respond is critical to forest conservation and climate protection. This review describes an international network of 59 long‐term forest dynamics research sites ( CTFS ‐Forest GEO ) useful for characterizing forest responses to global change. Within very large plots (median size 25 ha), all stems ≥1 cm diameter are identified to species, mapped, and regularly recensused according to standardized protocols. CTFS ‐Forest GEO spans 25°S–61°N latitude, is generally representative of the range of bioclimatic, edaphic, and topographic conditions experienced by forests worldwide, and is the only forest monitoring network that applies a standardized protocol to each of the world's major forest biomes. Supplementary standardized measurements at subsets of the sites provide additional information on plants, animals, and ecosystem and environmental variables. CTFS ‐Forest GEO sites are experiencing multifaceted anthropogenic global change pressures including warming (average 0.61 °C), changes in precipitation (up to ±30% change), atmospheric deposition of nitrogen and sulfur compounds (up to 3.8 g N m −2 yr −1 and 3.1 g S m −2 yr −1 ), and forest fragmentation in the surrounding landscape (up to 88% reduced tree cover within 5 km). The broad suite of measurements made at CTFS ‐Forest GEO sites makes it possible to investigate the complex ways in which global change is impacting forest dynamics. Ongoing research across the CTFS ‐Forest GEO network is yielding insights into how and why the forests are changing, and continued monitoring will provide vital contributions to understanding worldwide forest diversity and dynamics in an era of global change.

Spatiotemporal patterns in the mean and extreme temperature indices of India, 1971–2005 - Dileep K. Panda; A. Mishra; A. Kumar; K. G. Mandal; A. K. Thakur; R. C. Srivastava (International Journal of Climatology, 2014)
This study provides the comprehensive analysis of changes in mean and extreme temperature indices of India to assist the climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and to add information for the global comparisons, using a high‐resolution daily gridded temperature data set (1° × 1°) during 1971–2005. In addition to the indices recommended by the World Meteorological Organization/ CLIVAR Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices, few more indices having social and agricultural implication are investigated at the seasonal and annual scales, utilizing widely adopted statistical methodologies in climate research. The results show, in general, a robust signal of warming, broadly consistent with what has been observed and predicted in other parts of the world in the context of global warming. The frequency and intensity of warm extremes, especially representing the daily minimum temperature, have increased with simultaneous decreases in cold extremes in large parts of the country, but the spatial distribution of the trend magnitude reflects the complex natural climatic settings of India and its possible interaction with the anthropogenic forcing. Seasonal analysis reveals a faster warming in day and night temperatures in winter affecting the major wheat crop. In summer, however, both human and ecosystems appear to be more vulnerable to the increasing tendency of the heatwave occurrences, particularly during night‐time, since the 1990s. The relationship with the large‐scale natural climatic modes indicates that the warming indices tend to increase in the year following the El Niño events as evident from the correlation with the NINO3 .4 index, with a relatively higher association in the monsoon season. Moreover, the concurrent correspondence of the summer heatwaves with the north Indian Ocean sea surface temperature suggests a degree of predictability of the heat stress episode.

Summary A low‐diversity microbial community, dominated by the γ ‐proteobacterium H alomonas sulfidaeris , was detected in samples of warm saline formation porewater collected from the C ambrian Mt. S imon S andstone in the I llinois B asin of the N orth A merican M idcontinent (1.8 km/5872 ft burial depth, 50° C , pH 8, 181 bars pressure). These highly porous and permeable quartz arenite sandstones are directly analogous to reservoirs around the world targeted for large‐scale hydrocarbon extraction, as well as subsurface gas and carbon storage. A new downhole low‐contamination subsurface sampling probe was used to collect in situ formation water samples for microbial environmental metagenomic analyses. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that this H . sulfidaeris ‐dominated subsurface microbial community is indigenous and not derived from drilling mud microbial contamination. Data to support this includes V 1‐ V 3 pyrosequencing of formation water and drilling mud, as well as comparison with previously published microbial analyses of drilling muds in other sites. Metabolic pathway reconstruction, constrained by the geology, geochemistry and present‐day environmental conditions of the Mt . S imon S andstone, implies that H . sulfidaeris ‐dominated subsurface microbial community may utilize iron and nitrogen metabolisms and extensively recycle indigenous nutrients and substrates. The presence of aromatic compound metabolic pathways suggests this microbial community can readily adapt to and survive subsurface hydrocarbon migration.

In vitro cultivation model for H eterosporis saurida ( M icrosporidia) isolated from lizardfish, S aurida undosquamis (Richardson) - G Kumar; M Saleh; A‐A S Abdel‐Baki; S Al‐Quraishy; M El‐Matbouli (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2014)
H eterosporis saurida is a microsporidian that infects lizardfish, S aurida undosquamis ( R ichardson, 1848), in the A rabian S ea. Spores were isolated from infected lizardfish and used to infect derived fish cell lines: common carp brain ( CCB ), epithelioma papulosum cyprinid ( EPC ), fathead minnow epithelial ( FHM ), rainbow trout gonad ( RTG ), bluegill fry ( BF ‐2) and chinook salmon embryo ( CHSE ). Non‐fish cell lines were also tested that include: insect ( SF ‐9), rabbit ( RK ‐13) and A frican green monkey ( V ero E6). No growth of H . saurida was observed in any fish cell line, SF ‐9 or V ero E6 cell lines. H . saurida spores grew only in RK ‐13 cell line and were detected by immunofluorescence. Developmental stages of H . saurida were seen in RK ‐13 cells by light and transmission electron microscopy, and species identification was confirmed by sequencing. This study demonstrated that H . saurida was able to proliferate in the mammalian RK ‐13 cell line, which thus represents an in vitro model for conducting molecular genetics and cell–pathogen interaction studies of H eterosporis .
