Ecological features facilitating spread of alien plants along Mediterranean mountain roads - Lucia Antonietta Santoianni; Michele Innangi; Marco Varricchione; Marta Carboni; Greta La Bella; Sylvia Haider; Angela Stanisci (Biological Invasions, 2024)
Invasive alien species represent a major threat to global biodiversity and the sustenance of ecosystems. Globally, mountain ecosystems have shown a degree of resistance to invasive species due to their distinctive ecological features. However, in recent times, the construction of linear infrastructure, such as roads, might weaken this resistance, especially in the Mediterranean basin region. Roads, by acting as efficient corridors, facilitate the dispersal of alien species along elevation gradients in mountains. Here, we investigated how the ecological features and road-associated disturbance in native plant communities affected both the occurrence and cover of alien plant species in Central Apennines (Italy). We implemented the MIREN road survey in three mountain transects conducting vegetation sampling in plots located both adjacent to and distant from the roads at intervals of ~ 100 m in elevation. We then used community-weighted means of Ecological Indicator Values for Europe together with Disturbance Indicator Values applied to plant species of native communities as predictors of alien species occurrence and cover in a machine-learning classification and regression framework. Our analyses showed that alien species’ occurrence was greater in proximity to the road where high soil disturbance occurred and in warm- and light-adapted native communities. On the other hand, alien species cover was more strongly related to moderate grazing pressure and the occurrence of nitrophilic plant communities. These findings provide a baseline for the current status of alien plant species in this Mediterranean mountain region, offering an ecological perspective to address the challenges associated with their management under global change.

Elevation‐dependent warming and possible‐driving mechanisms over global highlands - Haider Abbas; Mojolaoluwa Toluwalase Daramola; Ming Xu (International Journal of Climatology, 2024)
Elevation‐dependent warming (EDW) has been a topic of intense debate due to limited observed data in global highland areas. This study aims to fill this gap by utilizing CRU and ERA5 datasets from 1981 to 2021 to explore the trends of climate change and its elevation dependency. The anomalies of temperature indicators ( T mean , T max , and T min ) in both ERA5 and CRU showed significant warming trends over global highlands. Moreover, the response of temperature indicators to elevation across global highlands is not spatially uniform. The linear regression model based on the elevation showed significant warming signals for the temperature indicators at various elevations over the global highlands. On a regional scale, T mean and T max predominantly showed linear EDW over EU highlands, while T mean in Asian highlands exhibited EDW signals at 4–5 km. T min showed EDW at 2.5–5.5 km with ERA5 and 3–5 km with CRU. In the Andes, EDW was prominent at 2.5–4 km. Overall, EDW signals are evident in all studied regions but vary across them. While assessing the driving factors, the results of this study indicate that total column water vapour (TCWV), snow depth (SD), snow albedo, and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) correlated positively with the temperature indicators. These findings emphasize the significance of elevation‐specific interactions between environmental factors and temperature in forecasting temperature changes in mountainous areas. Additionally, temperature exhibited coherence with teleconnection indices from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Asian and European (EU) highlands exhibited interzonal coherence with the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, while North American (NA) highlands showed coherence, followed by South American (SA) highlands. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of EDW and its implications for highland regions globally, including the potential for more severe depletion of snow/ice resources in a warmer future.

Land use modulates resistance of grasslands against future climate and inter‐annual climate variability in a large field experiment - Lotte Korell; Martin Andrzejak; Sigrid Berger; Walter Durka; Sylvia Haider; Isabell Hensen; Yva Herion; Johannes Höfner; Liana Kindermann; Stefan Klotz; Tiffany M. Knight; Anja Linstädter; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2024)
Climate and land‐use change are key drivers of global change. Full‐factorial field experiments in which both drivers are manipulated are essential to understand and predict their potentially interactive effects on the structure and functioning of grassland ecosystems. Here, we present 8 years of data on grassland dynamics from the Global Change Experimental Facility in Central Germany. On large experimental plots, temperature and seasonal patterns of precipitation are manipulated by superimposing regional climate model projections onto background climate variability. Climate manipulation is factorially crossed with agricultural land‐use scenarios, including intensively used meadows and extensively used (i.e., low‐intensity) meadows and pastures. Inter‐annual variation of background climate during our study years was high, including three of the driest years on record for our region. The effects of this temporal variability far exceeded the effects of the experimentally imposed climate change on plant species diversity and productivity, especially in the intensively used grasslands sown with only a few grass cultivars. These changes in productivity and diversity in response to alterations in climate were due to immigrant species replacing the target forage cultivars. This shift from forage cultivars to immigrant species may impose additional economic costs in terms of a decreasing forage value and the need for more frequent management measures. In contrast, the extensively used grasslands showed weaker responses to both experimentally manipulated future climate and inter‐annual climate variability, suggesting that these diverse grasslands are more resistant to climate change than intensively used, species‐poor grasslands. We therefore conclude that a lower management intensity of agricultural grasslands, associated with a higher plant diversity, can stabilize primary productivity under climate change.

Genome-wide identification and in-silico expression analysis of CCO gene family in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) against abiotic stress - Adnan Sami; Muhammad Zeeshan Haider; Muhammad Shafiq; Saleh Sadiq; Farooq Ahmad (Plant Molecular Biology, 2024)
Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) enzymes play an important role in plant growth and development by producing a wide array of apocarotenoids and their derivatives. These compounds are vital for colouring flowers and fruits and synthesizing plant hormones such as abscisic acid and strigolactones. Despite their importance, the gene family responsible for CCO enzymes in sunflowers has not been identified. In this study, we identify the CCO genes of the sunflower plant to fill this knowledge gap. Phylogenetic and synteny analysis indicated that the Helianthus annuus CCO (HaCCO) genes were conserved in different plant species and they could be divided into three subgroups based on their conserved domains. Analysis using MEME tool and multiple sequence alignment identified conserved motifs in the HaCCO gene sequence. Cis -regulatory elements (CREs) analysis of the HaCCO genes indicated the presence of various responsive elements related to plant hormones, development, and responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses. This implies that these genes may respond to plant hormones, developmental cues, and drought stress, offering potential applications in the development of more resistant crops. Genes belonging to the 9-cis-epoxy carotenoid dioxygenases (NCED) subgroups predominantly exhibited chloroplast localization, whereas the genes found in other groups are primarily localized in the cytoplasm. These 21 identified HaCCOs were regulated by 60 miRNAs, indicating the crucial role of microRNAs in gene regulation in sunflowers. Gene expression analysis under drought stress revealed significant up-regulation of HaNCED16 and HaNCED19 , genes that are pivotal in ABA hormone biosynthesis. During organ-specific gene expression analysis, HaCCD12 and HaCCD20 genes exhibit higher activity in leaves, indicating a potential role in leaf pigmentation. This study provides a foundation for future research on the regulation and functions of the CCO gene family in sunflower and beyond. There is potential for developing molecular markers that could be employed in breeding programs to create new sunflower lines resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Comparison of ex vivo bioluminescence imaging, Alu-qPCR and histology for the quantification of spontaneous lung and bone metastases in subcutaneous xenograft mouse models - Marie-Therese Haider; Vera Freytag; Linda Krause; Tanja Spethmann; Tobias Gosau; Mia C. Beine; Christine Knies; Jennifer Schröder-Schwarz; Michael Horn; Kristoffer Riecken; Tobias Lange (Clinical & Experimental Metastasis, 2024)
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is a non-invasive state-of-the-art-method for longitudinal tracking of tumor cells in mice. The technique is commonly used to determine bone metastatic burden in vivo and also suitable ex vivo to detect even smallest bone micro-metastases in spontaneous metastasis xenograft models. However, it is unclear to which extent ex vivo BLI correlates with alternative methods for metastasis quantification. Here, we compared ex vivo BLI, human DNA-based Alu -qPCR, and histology for the quantification of bone vs. lung metastases, which are amongst the most common sites of metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients and spontaneous PCa xenograft models. Data from 93 immunodeficient mice were considered, each of which were subcutaneously injected with luciferase/RGB-labeled human PCa PC-3 cells. The primary tumors were resected at ~ 0.75 cm³ and mice were sacrificed ~ 3 weeks after surgery and immediately examined by ex vivo BLI. Afterwards, the right lungs and hind limbs with the higher BLI signal (BLI Hi bone) were processed for histology, whereas the left lung lobes and hind limbs with the lower BLI signal (BLI Lo bone) were prepared for Alu -qPCR. Our data demonstrate remarkable differences in the correlation coefficients of the different methods for lung metastasis detection ( r ~ 0.8) vs. bone metastasis detection ( r ~ 0.4). However, the BLI values of the BLI Hi and BLI Lo bones correlated very strongly ( r ~ 0.9), indicating that the method per se was reliable under identical limitations; the overall level of metastasis to contralateral bones was astonishingly similar. Instead, the level of lung metastasis only weakly to moderately correlated with the level of bone metastasis formation. Summarized, we observed a considerable discrepancy between ex vivo BLI and histology/ Alu -qPCR in the quantification of bone metastases, which was not observed in the case of lung metastases. Future studies using ex vivo BLI for bone metastasis quantification should combine multiple methods to accurately determine metastatic load in bone samples.

Operationalizing ambiguity in sustainability science: embracing the elephant in the room - Anita Lazurko; L. Jamila Haider; Tilman Hertz; Simon West; Daniel D. P. McCarthy (Sustainability Science, 2024)
Ambiguity is often recognized as an intrinsic aspect of addressing complex sustainability challenges. Nevertheless, in the practice of transdisciplinary sustainability research, ambiguity is often an ‘elephant in the room’ to be either side-stepped or reduced rather than explicitly mobilized in pursuit of solutions. These responses threaten the salience and legitimacy of sustainability science by masking the pluralism of real-world sustainability challenges and how research renders certain frames visible and invisible. Critical systems thinking (CST) emerged from the efforts of operational researchers to address theoretical and practical aspects of ambiguity. By adapting key concepts, frameworks, and lessons from CST literature and case studies, this paper aims to establish (1) an expansive conceptualization of ambiguity and (2) recommendations for operationalizing ambiguity as a valuable means of addressing sustainability challenges. We conceptualize ambiguity as an emergent feature of the simultaneous and interacting boundary processes associated with being, knowing, and intervening in complex systems , and propose Reflexive Boundary Critique (RBC) as a novel framework to help navigate these boundary processes. Our characterization of ambiguity acknowledges the boundary of a researcher’s subjective orientation and its influence on how ambiguity is exposed and mediated in research (being), characterizes knowledge as produced through the process of making boundary judgments, generating a partial, contextual, and provisional frame (knowing), and situates a researcher as part of the complexity they seek to understand, rendering any boundary process as a form of intervention that reinforces or marginalizes certain frames and, in turn, influences action (intervening). Our recommendations for sustainability scientists to operationalize ambiguity include (1) nurturing the reflexive capacities of transdisciplinary researchers to navigate persistent ambiguity (e.g., using our proposed framework of RBC), and (2) grappling with the potential for and consequences of theoretical incommensurability and discordant pluralism. Our findings can help sustainability scientists give shape to and embrace ambiguity as a fundamental part of rigorous sustainability science.

How Does Sustainable Management Practices Affect Weed Flora and Tuber Yield of Potato Crop in Mediterranean Environment? - Emanuele Radicetti; Khan Amanullah; Verdiana Petroselli; Mariam Atait; Mohamed Allam; Adil Mihoub; Aftab Jamal; Alireza Taab; Ghulam Haider; Morad Mirzaei; Roberto Mancinelli (Journal of Crop Health, 2024)
Intensive potato cultivation affects weed species composition by selecting dominant and competitive weeds that represent a constraint of potato productivity. Field experiments were conducted during 2015 and 2016 growing seasons to examine the effects of soil tillage (plowing (PL), spading (SM), sub soiling (SS)) and fertilizer source (mineral (Min) and organic (Org)) on potato yield and weed community under Mediterranean environment. A randomized complete block design with three replications was adopted. Weed density and biomass were measured at the potato harvesting time. Weed density was highest in SS, intermediate in SM, and lowest in PL (43.8, 40.3, and 28.8 plants m −2 ). Similar trend was observed in weed biomass. Weed density and biomass were higher in Org than Min (42.1 vs . 36.4 plants m −2 and 129.6 vs . 117.9 g m −2 , respectively). Perennial, monocot, and dicot weed species were the most abundant in subsoiling (13.1, 9.3 and 34.5 plants m −2 ). Density of perennial and dicot species were higher in Org than Min. Monocots were mostly linked with Min, while dicots were mainly associated with Org. Although tuber yield was higher in PL and Min (481.9 and 627.5 g m −2 of DM), it was affected by growing season and might be associated to SM and Org. Although the study shows that increased weed biodiversity in the system, achieved with more sustainable practices, proves to be an obstacle to potato production, the adoption of spading machine applied in combination with mineral and organic fertilizers could be a valid alternative to plowing. Further studies are required to develop sustainable agricultural techniques able to improve the competitive capacity of crops and reduce the selection of dominant weed species.

Towards a standardised set of data analyses for long-term genetic monitoring of grouse using non-invasive sampling: a case study on western capercaillie - Teresa Zeni; Marlene Haider; Stephanie Vallant; Reinhard Lentner; Florian M. Steiner; Birgit C. Schlick-Steiner (Conservation Genetics, 2024)
Genetic monitoring has become a popular instrument in the conservation of endangered species, allowing to estimate size and genetic structure of wild populations. Long-term monitoring projects are essential to recognize demographic changes and impact of human activities. Since 2011, an extensive monitoring project on the population size and trends, as well as spatial distribution and survival rates, of two grouse species including the western capercaillie, Tetrao urogallus , has been conducted in Tyrol, in the eastern part of the European Alps, where T. urogallus males are huntable under specific regulations. In this case study, we aimed to compile a set of analyses to be employed in evaluating data from dropping and feather samples for conservation studies. Using eleven microsatellite and two sex markers, we genotyped 251 faeces and feathers of T. urogallus collected in East Tyrol in spring 2019. We analysed population structure and mobility patterns, including sex differences in genetic diversity and mobility. The relationship between habitat parameters and genetic diversity was investigated using multiple linear regressions. We showed that the investigated T. urogallus population is well mixed and likely well connected to neighbouring populations. We also found sex-specific mobility patterns that support female-biased dispersal. As the last step, we demonstrated the general feasibility of a modelling approach using habitat parameters. With this pilot study, further analysis of data is possible for the whole monitoring project, giving a better insight in the grouse populations in Tyrol.

This research aimed to assess the effectiveness of Metarhizium robertsii , diatomaceous earth (Protect-It), and lambda-cyhalothrin, for the long-term protection of stored wheat against three destructive grain insect pests, Rhyzopertha dominica , Tribolium castaneum , and Trogoderma granarium . Different treatments were applied, both alone and in paired combinations in laboratory and persistence trials. Single treatments exhibited significantly lower mortality rates in comparison to the paired treatments for all tested insect species. Among the single treatments, lambda-cyhalothrin (Lamb) resulted in significantly higher mortality rates in laboratory trials, followed by diatomaceous earth (DE) and M. robertsii (Mr), with insignificant differences between Mr and DE. Evidently, DE exhibited the highest persistence after 120 days of storage for all insect species and initial exposures, although variations in mortality rates among treatments were mostly insignificant. Overall, the most effective treatment in terms of mortality in laboratory, and persistence trials, and progeny production was DE + Lamb, followed by Mr + Lamb, and Mr + DE for all tested insect species. In general, the most susceptible insect species was R. dominica , followed by T. castaneum and T. granarium . This research highlights the effectiveness of M. robertsii , DE, and lambda-cyhalothrin in providing prolonged protection of stored wheat against all the examined grain insect species.

Mock microbial community meta‐analysis using different trimming of amplicon read lengths - Diana Haider; Michael W. Hall; Julie LaRoche; Robert G. Beiko (Environmental Microbiology, 2024)
Trimming of sequencing reads is a pre‐processing step that aims to discard sequence segments such as primers, adapters and low quality nucleotides that will interfere with clustering and classification steps. We evaluated the impact of trimming length of paired‐end 16S and 18S rRNA amplicon reads on the ability to reconstruct the taxonomic composition and relative abundances of communities with a known composition in both even and uneven proportions. We found that maximizing read retention maximizes recall but reduces precision by increasing false positives. The presence of expected taxa was accurately predicted across broad trim length ranges but recovering original relative proportions remains a difficult challenge. We show that parameters that maximize taxonomic recovery do not simultaneously maximize relative abundance accuracy. Trim length represents one of several experimental parameters that have non‐uniform impact across microbial clades, making it a difficult parameter to optimize. This study offers insights, guidelines, and helps researchers assess the significance of their decisions when trimming raw reads in a microbiome analysis based on overlapping or non‐overlapping paired‐end amplicons.

Incorporating Mooring Dynamics into the Control Design of a Two-Body Wave Energy Converter - Spencer Funk; Ali Shahbaz Haider; Kush Bubbar; Brad Buckham (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Mooring systems are a critical component of all floating wave energy converter (WEC) systems, yet the impact of amooring system on the WEC dynamics is often neglected during the initial assessment of candidate designs. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the inclusion of mooring dynamics in the early stages of the WEC design process influences decisions regarding hydrodynamic features and control strategies. The study was executed within a mechanical circuit framework to represent the WEC response in the frequency domain. Thevenin’s theorem was applied within this framework to transform a multi-body WEC into a single-body canonical form. This work specifically focused on self-reacting point absorbers and examined how four realistic mooring designs impact WEC intrinsic mechanical impedance across a range of common wave frequencies. We show how the mooring can easily be included in this framework, and a simple approach to identifying the mooring model parameters is described. It was observed that if mooring dynamics are considered within the WEC control design process, a 40% reduction in the required range of the controller physical variable can be achieved while yielding up to 16% more useful power. These results suggest that considering the mooring system early can enhance WEC design.

Comparison of Advanced Control Strategies Applied to a Multiple-Degrees-of-Freedom Wave Energy Converter: Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller versus Reinforcement Learning - Ali S. Haider; Kush Bubbar; Alan McCall (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Achieving energy maximizing control of a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) not only needs a comprehensive dynamic model of the system—including nonlinear hydrodynamic effects and nonlinear characteristics of Power Take-Off (PTO)—but to treat the entire system using an integrated approach, i.e., as a cyber–physical system considering the WEC dynamics, control strategy, and communication interface. The resulting energy-maximizing optimization formulation leads to a non-quadratic and nonstandard cost function. This article compares the (1) Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (NMPC) and (2) Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques as applied to a class of multiple-degrees-of-freedom nonlinear WEC–PTO systems subjected to linear as well as nonlinear hydrodynamic conditions in simulation, using the WEC-Sim™ toolbox. The results show that with an optimal choice of RL agent and hyperparameters, as well as suitable training conditions, the RL algorithm is more robust under more stringent operating requirements, for which the NMPC algorithm fails to converge. Further, RL agents are computationally efficient on real-time target machines with a significantly reduced Task Execution Time (TET).

The use of technology and international law in marine policy is becoming increasingly vital as we seek to address the challenges facing our oceans. Technology has revolutionized our ability to monitor, understand, and manage marine ecosystems, providing valuable tools for data collection, analysis, and decision-making. International law, ocean governance ensuring marine environment represented by the frameworks such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), plays a crucial role in governing the use of technology and establishing guidelines for the sustainable management of marine resources. This paper explores the intersection of technology and international law in marine policy, highlighting the transformative impact of technology on our understanding of the oceans and the legal frameworks that shape our approach to marine conservation. It examines the benefits of technology in enabling evidence-based decision-making and fostering international collaboration, while also addressing the legal and regulatory complexities that arise. The paper emphasizes the need for ongoing dialogue and the development of international legal frameworks to adapt to emerging technologies and discourse ethical considerations, and by harnessing the power of technology and international law, we can work towards effective marine policies that ensure the conservation and sustainable use of our oceans for future generations.
