Soil diazotrophs play important roles in ecosystem functioning by converting atmospheric N 2 into biologically available ammonium. However, the diversity and distribution of soil diazotrophic communities in different forests and whether they follow biogeographic patterns similar to macroorganisms still remain unclear. By sequencing nifH gene amplicons, we surveyed the diversity, structure and biogeographic patterns of soil diazotrophic communities across six North American forests (126 nested samples). Our results showed that each forest harboured markedly different soil diazotrophic communities and that these communities followed traditional biogeographic patterns similar to plant and animal communities, including the taxa–area relationship ( TAR ) and latitudinal diversity gradient. Significantly higher community diversity and lower microbial spatial turnover rates (i.e. z ‐values) were found for rainforests (~0.06) than temperate forests (~0.1). The gradient pattern of TAR s and community diversity was strongly correlated ( r 2 > 0.5) with latitude, annual mean temperature, plant species richness and precipitation, and weakly correlated ( r 2 pH and soil moisture. This study suggests that even microbial subcommunities (e.g. soil diazotrophs) follow general biogeographic patterns (e.g. TAR , latitudinal diversity gradient), and indicates that the metabolic theory of ecology and habitat heterogeneity may be the major underlying ecological mechanisms shaping the biogeographic patterns of soil diazotrophic communities.

Drought tolerance as a driver of tropical forest assembly: resolving spatial signatures for multiple processes - M. K. Bartlett; Y. Zhang; J. Yang; N. Kreidler; S.‐W. Sun; L. Lin; Y.‐H. Hu; K.‐F. Cao; L. Sack (Ecology, 2016)
Spatial patterns in trait variation reflect underlying community assembly processes, allowing us to test hypotheses about their trait and environmental drivers by identifying the strongest correlates of characteristic spatial patterns. For 43 evergreen tree species (>1 cm dbh) in a 20‐ha seasonal tropical rainforest plot in Xishuangbanna, China, we compared the ability of drought‐tolerance traits, other physiological traits, and commonly measured functional traits to predict the spatial patterns expected from the assembly processes of habitat associations, niche‐overlap‐based competition, and hierarchical competition. We distinguished the neighborhood‐scale (0–20 m) patterns expected from competition from larger‐scale habitat associations with a wavelet method. Species’ drought tolerance and habitat variables related to soil water supply were strong drivers of habitat associations, and drought tolerance showed a significant spatial signal for influencing competition. Overall, the traits most strongly associated with habitat, as quantified using multivariate models, were leaf density, leaf turgor loss point (π tlp ; also known as the leaf wilting point), and stem hydraulic conductivity ( r 2 range for the best fit models = 0.27–0.36). At neighborhood scales, species spatial associations were positively correlated with similarity in π tlp , consistent with predictions for hierarchical competition. Although the correlation between π tlp and interspecific spatial associations was weak ( r 2

Stochastic dilution effects weaken deterministic effects of niche‐based processes in species rich forests - Xugao Wang; Thorsten Wiegand; Nathan J. B. Kraft; Nathan G. Swenson; Stuart J. Davies; Zhanqing Hao; Robert Howe; Yiching Lin; Keping Ma; Xiangcheng Mi; Sheng‐Hsin Su; I‐Fang Sun; et al. (Ecology, 2016)
Recent theory predicts that stochastic dilution effects may result in species‐rich communities with statistically independent species spatial distributions, even if the underlying ecological processes structuring the community are driven by deterministic niche differences. Stochastic dilution is a consequence of the stochastic geometry of biodiversity where the identities of the nearest neighbors of individuals of a given species are largely unpredictable. Under such circumstances, the outcome of deterministic species interactions may vary greatly among individuals of a given species. Consequently, nonrandom patterns in the biotic neighborhoods of species, which might be expected from coexistence or community assembly theory (e.g., individuals of a given species are neighbored by phylogenetically similar species), are weakened or do not emerge, resulting in statistical independence of species spatial distributions. We used data on phylogenetic and functional similarity of tree species in five large forest dynamics plots located across a gradient of species richness to test predictions of the stochastic dilution hypothesis. To quantify the biotic neighborhood of a focal species we used the mean phylogenetic (or functional) dissimilarity of the individuals of the focal species to all species within a local neighborhood. We then compared the biotic neighborhood of species to predictions from stochastic null models to test if a focal species was surrounded by more or less similar species than expected by chance. The proportions of focal species that showed spatial independence with respect to their biotic neighborhoods increased with total species richness. Locally dominant, high‐abundance species were more likely to be surrounded by species that were statistically more similar or more dissimilar than expected by chance. Our results suggest that stochasticity may play a stronger role in shaping the spatial structure of species rich tropical forest communities than it does in species poorer forests. These findings represent an important step towards understanding the factors that govern the spatial configuration of local biotic communities. The stochastic dilution effect is a simple geometric mechanism that can explain why species’ spatial distributions in species‐rich communities approximate independence from their biotic neighborhood, even if deterministic niche processes are in effect.

Identification and characterization of a late gene encoded by grouper iridovirus 2L (GIV‐2L) - H‐Y Lin; C‐F Cheng; P P Chiou; C‐J Liou; J‐C Yiu; Y‐S Lai (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2015)
Grouper iridovirus (GIV) belongs to the Ranavirus genus and is one of the most important viral pathogens in grouper, particularly at the fry and fingerling stages. In this study, we identified and characterized the GIV‐2L gene, which encodes a protein of unknown function. GIV‐2L is 1242 bp in length, with a predicted protein mass of 46.2 kDa. It displayed significant identity only with members of the Ranavirus and Iridovirus genera. We produced mouse monoclonal antibodies against the GIV‐2L protein by immunizing mice with GIV‐2L‐His‐tag recombinant protein. By inhibiting de novo protein and DNA synthesis in GIV‐infected cells, we showed that GIV‐2L was a late gene during the viral replication. Finally, immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that GIV‐2L protein accumulated in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of infected cells. These results offer important insights into the pathogenesis of GIV.

Identification of a novel cyprinid herpesvirus 3 genotype detected in koi from the East Asian and South‐East Asian Regions - J Chen; D Chee; Y Wang; G Y Lim; S M Chong; Y N Lin; T Huangfu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2015)
Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (Cy HV ‐3) is a highly contagious virus that causes significant morbidity and mortality in common carp Cyprinus carpio L. and considered to be one of the most important pathogens of koi and common carp worldwide. Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 infected consignments imported from East Asian and South‐East Asian regions were identified during quarantine period in Singapore, and virus from a 2005 consignment was successfully isolated in koi fin cells. A combination of sequence analyses and duplex PCR were used to characterize 15 Cy HV ‐3 isolates detected in koi consignments between 2005 and 2011. Sequence analyses of the enlarged 9/5, SphI‐5 and TK gene regions identified both the Asian 1 ( n = 11) and European 4 ( n = 4) genotypes. Duplex PCR analysis of two variable marker regions between ORF 29 and ORF 30 (marker I) as well as ORF 133 and its upstream region (marker II ) revealed viruses of genotypes J (I ++ II + ), U/I (I −− II − ), an intermediate genotype (I ++ II − ) and a novel genotype, I ++ II +Δ , which was identified in viruses from seven different consignments. This novel genotype has a 13‐bp deletion in marker II , while maintaining the I ++ allele of marker I. The I ++ II +Δ genotype may have emerged from East Asian and South‐East Asian regions in recent years.

Species colonisation, not competitive exclusion, drives community overdispersion over long‐term succession - Shao‐peng Li; Marc W. Cadotte; Scott J. Meiners; Zheng‐shuang Hua; Lin Jiang; Wen‐sheng Shu (Ecology Letters, 2015)
Ecological communities often transition from phylogenetic and functional clustering to overdispersion over succession as judged by space‐for‐time substitution studies. Such a pattern has been generally attributed to the increase in competitive exclusion of closely related species with similar traits through time, although colonisation and extinction have rarely been examined. Using 44 years of uninterrupted old‐field succession in New Jersey, USA , we confirmed that phylogenetic and functional clustering decreased as succession unfolded, but the transition was largely driven by colonisation. Early colonists were closely related and functionally similar to residents, while later colonists became less similar to the species present. Extirpated species were generally more distantly related to residents than by chance, or exhibited random phylogenetic/functional patterns, and their relatedness to residents was not associated with time. These results provide direct evidence that the colonisation of distant relatives, rather than extinction of close relatives, drives phylogenetic and functional overdispersion over succession.

Infections of nervous necrosis virus in wild and cage‐reared marine fish from S outh C hina S ea with unexpected wide host ranges - X D Liu; J N Huang; S P Weng; X Q Hu; W J Chen; Z D Qin; X X Dong; X L Liu; Y Zhou; M Asim; W M Wang; J G He; et al. (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2015)
The concerns about the impact of the nervous necrosis virus ( NNV ) infections in wild fish have been raised. This paper presents the results of quarterly surveys of NNV in wild and cage‐reared marine fish from South China Sea. Samples of 892 wild fish belonging to 69 species and 381 cage‐reared fish belonging to 11 species were collected and were detected by seminested PCR and nested PCR . In the case of seminested PCR , the positive signal was detected in 3.0% and 3.1% samples of wild and cage‐reared fish, respectively. However, by nested RT ‐ PCR , the positive signal was observed in 42.3% and 63.0% samples of wild and cage‐reared fish, respectively. If the fish species were considered, the positive signal was detected in 21.7% and 72.7% species of wild and cage‐reared fish by seminested PCR assay, respectively. However, by nested RT ‐ PCR , the positive signal was observed in 65.2% and 100% species of wild and cage‐reared fish, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of the nested PCR products were determined. Phylogenetic tree showed that all the obtained viral isolates belonged to the red‐spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus ( RGNNV ) genotype. Thirty‐five species of the marine fish were the new hosts of NNV .

Identification of proteins capable of metal reduction from the proteome of the Gram‐positive bacterium D esulfotomaculum reducens MI ‐1 using an NADH ‐based activity assay - Anne Elyse Otwell; Robert W. Sherwood; Sheng Zhang; Ornella D. Nelson; Zhi Li; Hening Lin; Stephen J. Callister; Ruth E. Richardson (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary Understanding of microbial metal reduction is based almost solely on studies of G ram‐negative organisms. In this study, we focus on D esulfotomaculum reducens MI ‐1, a G ram‐positive metal reducer whose genome lacks genes with similarity to any characterized metal reductase. Using non‐denaturing separations and mass spectrometry identification, in combination with a colorimetric screen for chelated F e( III )‐ NTA reduction with NADH as electron donor, we have identified proteins from the D . reducens proteome not previously characterized as iron reductases. Their function was confirmed by heterologous expression in E scherichia coli . Furthermore, we show that these proteins have the capability to reduce soluble C r( VI ) and U ( VI ) with NADH as electron donor. The proteins identified are NADH : flavin oxidoreductase ( D red_2421) and a protein complex composed of oxidoreductase flavin adenine dinucleotide/ NAD ( P )‐binding subunit ( D red_1685) and dihydroorotate dehydrogenase 1B ( D red_1686). D red_2421 was identified in the soluble proteome and is predicted to be a cytoplasmic protein. D red_1685 and D red_1686 were identified in both the soluble as well as the insoluble protein fraction, suggesting a type of membrane association, although PSORTb predicts both proteins are cytoplasmic. This study is the first functional proteomic analysis of D . reducens and one of the first analyses of metal and radionuclide reduction in an environmentally relevant G ram‐positive bacterium.

ICE1 demethylation drives the range expansion of a plant invader through cold tolerance divergence - H. J. Xie; H. Li; D. Liu; W. M. Dai; J. Y. He; S. Lin; H. Duan; L. L. Liu; S. G. Chen; X. L. Song; B. E. Valverde; S. Qiang (Molecular Ecology, 2015)
Cold tolerance adaption is a crucial determinant for the establishment and expansion of invasive alien plants into new cold environments; however, its evolutionary mechanism is poorly understood. Crofton weed ( Ageratina adenophora ), a highly invasive alien plant, is continuously spreading across subtropical areas in China, north‐eastward from the first colonized south‐western tropical regions, through cold tolerance evolution. Close relations between the cold tolerance levels of 34 populations, represented by 147 accessions, and the latitude, extreme lowest temperature, coldest month average temperature, and invasion period have provided direct insight into its cold tolerance divergence. A comparative study of the CBF pathway, associated with the cold tolerance enhancement of cold‐susceptible CBF 1 ‐transgenic plant, among four geographically distinct crofton weed populations revealed that the CBF pathway plays a key role in the observed cold tolerance divergence. Four epialleles of the cold response regulator ICE 1 ranged from 66 to 50 methylated cytosines, representing a 4.4% to 3.3% methylation rate and significantly corresponding to the lowest to highest cold tolerance levels among these different populations. The significant negative relation between the transcription levels of the primary CBF pathway members, except for CBF 2 , and the methylation levels among the four populations firstly demonstrates that the demethylation‐upregulated transcription level of CBF pathway is responsible for this evolution. These facts, combined with the cold tolerance variation and methylation found among three native and two other introduced populations, indicate that the ICE 1‐ demethylated upregulation of cold tolerance may be the underlying evolutionary mechanism allowing crofton weed to expand northward in China.

Genome and physiology of the ascomycete filamentous fungus X eromyces bisporus , the most xerophilic organism isolated to date - Su‐lin L. Leong; Henrik Lantz; Olga V. Pettersson; Jens C. Frisvad; Ulf Thrane; Hermann J. Heipieper; Jan Dijksterhuis; Manfred Grabherr; Mats Pettersson; Christian Tellgren‐Roth; Johan Schnürer (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary X eromyces bisporus can grow on sugary substrates down to 0.61, an extremely low water activity. Its genome size is approximately 22 Mb . Gene clusters encoding for secondary metabolites were conspicuously absent; secondary metabolites were not detected experimentally. Thus, in its ‘dry’ but nutrient‐rich environment, X . bisporus appears to have relinquished abilities for combative interactions. Elements to sense/signal osmotic stress, e.g. HogA pathway, were present in X . bisporus . However, transcriptomes at optimal (∼ 0.89) versus low a w (0.68) revealed differential expression of only a few stress‐related genes; among these, certain (not all) steps for glycerol synthesis were upregulated. X eromyces bisporus increased glycerol production during hypo‐ and hyper‐osmotic stress, and much of its wet weight comprised water and rinsable solutes; leaked solutes may form a protective slime. X eromyces bisporus and other food‐borne moulds increased membrane fatty acid saturation as water activity decreased. Such modifications did not appear to be transcriptionally regulated in X . bisporus ; however, genes modulating sterols, phospholipids and the cell wall were differentially expressed. X eromyces bisporus was previously proposed to be a ‘chaophile’, preferring solutes that disorder biomolecular structures. Both X . bisporus and the closely related xerophile, X erochrysium xerophilum , with low membrane unsaturation indices, could represent a phylogenetic cluster of ‘chaophiles’.

Development of a selective and differential medium for capsulated L actococcus garvieae - C‐I Chang; C‐F Lee; J‐M Tsai; C‐C Wu; L‐H Chen; S‐C Chen; K‐J Lin (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2014)
A selective and differential medium termed ‘ LG agar’ was developed for the isolation and presumptive identification of L actococcus garvieae that results in black colonies with red halos. In this study, all 14 strains of L . garvieae and only 9 of the 148 strains representing 38 other species were able to grow on the LG agar. The nine viable strains on LG agar plates (including E nterococcus faecalis , E nterococcus faecium , L actococcus lactis , V ibrio fluvialis , V ibrio furnissii , V ibrio mimicus and V ibrio salmonicida ) were further differentiated from L . garvieae by various colours or colony features. Colonies isolated from the mixing culture and the infected giant sea perch using LG agar plates were all positively identified as L . garvieae by conventional tests and 16 S r DNA sequencing. Furthermore, LG agar discriminated capsulated strains of L . garvieae , which were believed to be correlated with pathogens of fish and shellfish, from non‐capsulated ones by colony appearances. The specificity and differentiating ability of LG agar suggest that this medium displays considerable potential for primary isolation and presumptive identification of L . garvieae from pathological and environmental samples.

Eutrophication as a driver of r ‐selection traits in a freshwater fish - M. Lin; M. Chevalier; S. Lek; L. Zhang; R. E. Gozlan; J. Liu; T. Zhang; S. Ye; W. Li; Z. Li (Journal of Fish Biology, 2014)
This study tested whether eutrophication could influence life‐history traits of a cyprinid, Chanodichthys erythropterus , in 10 Chinese lakes. Using the von Bertalanffy growth model, the asymptotic length ( L ∞ ) and the growth performance index ( I GRO ) were significantly affected by eutrophication. The gonado‐somatic index ( I G ) and relative fecundity ( F R ) were significantly lower in mesotrophic lakes than in eutrophic and hypertrophic lakes. These results indicate that increasing eutrophication affects the life‐history tactics of a freshwater fish.

Characterization, tissue distribution and regulation of neuropeptideY in Schizothorax prenanti - R. Wei; C. Zhou; D. Yuan; T. Wang; F. Lin; H. Chen; H. Wu; Z. Xin; S. Yang; Y. Wang; D. Chen; J. Liu; et al. (Journal of Fish Biology, 2014)
In this study, the full‐length neuropeptide Y ( npy ) complementary (c) DNA was cloned in ya fish Schizothorax prenanti . npy cDNA was composed of 789 nucleotides with a 288 nucleotide open reading frame encoding a protein of 96 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequences contained a 28 amino acids signal peptide followed by a 36 amino acids mature neuropeptide Y (NPY). The npy mRNA was expressed mainly in the brain and eye as detected by real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction RT‐PCR ( rt‐qPCR ). The S. prenanti NPY was detectable from blastulation to hatch, suggesting that npy might be involved in the late embryonic development of S. prenanti . An experiment was conducted to determine the expression profile of npy during feeding of a single meal and during long‐term fasting. The expression level of npy in fed fish was significantly decreased at 0·5, 1·5, 3 and 9 h post‐feeding (hpf) than in fasting fish. Fasting for 14 days induced an increase in npy messenger (m) RNA expression in the brain. Overall, the results suggest that NPY is a conserved peptide that might be involved in the regulation of feeding and other physiological function in S. prenanti .

Characterization of Schizothorax prenanti cgnrhII gene: fasting affects cgnrhII expression - T. Wang; D. Yuan; C. Zhou; F. Lin; H. Chen; H. Wu; R. Wei; Z. Xin; J. Liu; Y. Gao; D. Chen; S. Yang; et al. (Journal of Fish Biology, 2014)
In this study, the role of chicken gonadotropin‐releasing hormone II ( cgnrhII ) in feeding regulation was investigated in Schizothorax prenanti . First, the full‐length S. prenanti cgnrhII cDNA consisted of 693 bp with an open reading frame of 261 bp encoding a protein of 86 amino acids. Next, cgnrhII was widely expressed in the central and peripheral tissues. Last, there were significant changes in cgnrhII mRNA expression in the fasted group compared to the fed group in the S. prenanti hypothalamus during 24 h fasting ( P cgnrhII gene expression presented a significant decrease in the fasted group compared with the fed group ( P cgnrhII mRNA expression level between refed and fed group on day 9 ( P > 0·05). Thus, the results suggest that cGnRH II expression is influenced by fasting and the gene may be involved in feeding regulation in S. prenanti.

Temporal variability of forest communities: empirical estimates of population change in 4000 tree species - Ryan A. Chisholm; Richard Condit; K. Abd. Rahman; Patrick J.

Long‐term surveys of entire communities of species are needed to measure fluctuations in natural populations and elucidate the mechanisms driving population dynamics and community assembly. We analysed changes in abundance of over 4000 tree species in 12 forests across the world over periods of 6–28 years. Abundance fluctuations in all forests are large and consistent with population dynamics models in which temporal environmental variance plays a central role. At some sites we identify clear environmental drivers, such as fire and drought, that could underlie these patterns, but at other sites there is a need for further research to identify drivers. In addition, cross‐site comparisons showed that abundance fluctuations were smaller at species‐rich sites, consistent with the idea that stable environmental conditions promote higher diversity. Much community ecology theory emphasises demographic variance and niche stabilisation; we encourage the development of theory in which temporal environmental variance plays a central role.

Sympatric Asian felid phylogeography reveals a major Indochinese–Sundaic divergence - Shu‐Jin Luo; Yue Zhang; Warren E. Johnson; Lin Miao; Paolo Martelli; Agostinho Antunes; James L. D. Smith; Stephen J. O'Brien (Molecular Ecology, 2014)
The dynamic geological and climatological history of Southeast Asia has spawned a complex array of ecosystems and 12 of the 37 known cat species, making it the most felid‐rich region in the world. To examine the evolutionary histories of these poorly studied fauna, we compared phylogeography of six species (leopard cat Prionailurus bengalensis , fishing cat P. viverrinus , Asiatic golden cat Pardofelis temminckii , marbled cat P. marmorata , tiger Panthera tigris and leopard P. pardus ) by sequencing over 5 kb of DNA each from 445 specimens at multiple loci of mt DNA , Y and X chromosomes. All species except the leopard displayed significant phylogenetic partitions between Indochina and Sundaland, with the central Thai–Malay Peninsula serving as the biogeographic boundary. Concordant mt DNA and nuclear DNA genealogies revealed deep Indochinese–Sundaic divergences around 2 MYA in both P. bengalensis and P. marmorata comparable to previously described interspecific distances within Felidae. The divergence coincided with serial sea level rises during the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene, and was probably reinforced by repeated isolation events associated with environmental changes throughout the Pleistocene. Indochinese–Sundaic differentiations within P. tigris and P. temminckii were more recent at 72–108 and 250–1570 kya, respectively. Overall, these results illuminate unexpected, deep vicariance events in Southeast Asian felids and provide compelling evidence of species‐level distinction between the Indochinese and Sundaic populations in the leopard cat and marbled cat. Broader sampling and further molecular and morphometric analyses of these species will be instrumental in defining conservation units and effectively preserving Southeast Asian biodiversity.

Evaluating the protective efficacy of antigen combinations against P hotobacterium damselae ssp. piscicida infections in cobia, Rachycentron canadum L. - L‐P Ho; C‐J Chang; H‐C Liu; H‐L Yang; J H‐Y Lin (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2014)
Cobia, Rachycentron canadum L., is a very important aquatic fish that faces the risk of infection with the bacterial pathogen P hotobacterium damselae ssp. piscicida , and there are few protective approaches available that use multiple antigens. In the present study, potent bivalent antigens from P . damselae ssp. piscicida showed more efficient protection than did single antigens used in isolation. In preparations of three antigens that included recombinant heat shock protein 60 ( rHSP 60), recombinant α‐enolase ( rENOLASE ) and recombinant glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase ( rGAPDH ), we analysed the doses that elicited the best immune responses and found that this occurred at a total of 30 μg of antigen per fish. Subsequently, vaccination of fish with rHSP 60, rENOLASE and rGAPDH achieved 46.9, 52 and 25% relative per cent survival (RPS), respectively. In addition, bivalent subunit vaccines – combination I ( rHSP 60 + rENOLASE ), combination II ( rENOLASE + rGAPDH ) and combination III ( rHSP 60 + rGAPDH ) – were administered and the RPS in these groups (65.6, 64.0 and 48.4%, respectively), was higher than that achieved with single‐antigen administration. Finally, in combination IV , the trivalent vaccine rHSP 60 + rENOLASE + rGAPDH , the RPS was 1.6%. Taken together, our results suggest that combinations of two antigens may achieve a better efficiency than monovalent or trivalent antigens, and this may provide new insights into pathogen prevention strategies.

White spot syndrome virus epizootic in cultured P acific white shrimp L itopenaeus vannamei (Boone) in T aiwan - L Cheng; W‐H Lin; P‐C Wang; M‐A Tsai; J‐P Hsu; S‐C Chen (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2013)
White spot syndrome virus ( WSSV ) has caused significant losses in shrimp farms worldwide. Between 2004 and 2006, Pacific white shrimp L itopenaeus vannamei (Boone) were collected from 220 farms in T aiwan to determine the prevalence and impact of WSSV infection on the shrimp farm industry. Polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) analysis detected WSSV in shrimp from 26% of farms. Juvenile shrimp farms had the highest infection levels (38%; 19/50 farms) and brooder shrimp farms had the lowest (5%; one of 20 farms). The average extent of infection at each farm was as follows for WSSV ‐positive farms: post‐larvae farms, 71%; juvenile farms, 61%; subadult farms, 62%; adult farms, 49%; and brooder farms, 40%. Characteristic white spots, hypertrophied nuclei and basophilic viral inclusion bodies were found in the epithelia of gills and tail fans, appendages, cephalothorax and hepatopancreas, and virions of WSSV were observed. Of shrimp that had WSSV lesions, 100% had lesions on the cephalothorax, 96% in gills and tail fans, 91% on appendages and 17% in the hepatopancreas. WSSV was also detected in copepoda and crustaceans from the shrimp farms. Sequence comparison using the pms146 gene fragment of WSSV showed that isolates from the farms had 99.7–100% nucleotide sequence identity with four strains in the G en B ank database – China ( AF332093 ), T aiwan ( AF440570 and U50923 ) and Thailand ( AF369029 ). This is the first broad study of WSSV infection in L . vannamei in T aiwan.

Leaf element concentrations of terrestrial plants across China are influenced by taxonomy and the environment - Shi‐Bao Zhang; Jiao‐Lin Zhang; J. W. Ferry Slik; Kun‐Fang Cao (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2012)
Aim The productivity, functioning and biogeochemical cycles of terrestrial ecosystems are strongly affected by leaf element concentrations. Understanding the biological and ecological factors affecting leaf element concentrations is therefore important for modelling the productivity and nutrient fluxes of ecosystems and their responses to global change. The present study aimed to determine how leaf element concentrations are linked to taxonomy and the environment. Location China. Methods The concentrations of 10 leaf elements of 702 terrestrial plant species from different biomes were extracted from publications. The links between environmental variables, taxonomy and leaf elements were analyzed using phylogenetically comparative methods and partial Mantel tests. Results Taxonomy had stronger effects on leaf S and SiO 2 than latitude, explaining 40.2–43.9% of total variation, whereas latitude had stronger effects on leaf N, P, K, Fe, Al, Mn, Na and Ca concentrations, explaining 19.5–52.1% of total variation. Leaf N, S, Al, Fe and Na concentrations were correlated with mean annual precipitation (MAP), while leaf N, P and Fe concentrations were correlated with mean annual temperature (MAT). Latitude, MAP and MAT were significantly correlated with the first axis of a principal components analysis (PCA). This first axis was associated with leaf elements involved in protein synthesis and photosynthesis. The other PCA axes, which were not correlated with MAT, latitude and MAP, were associated with leaf elements responsible for cell structure and enzymes. Main conclusions Leaf element concentrations of terrestrial plants in China were correlated with climate, latitude and taxonomy. With the exception of S and SiO 2 , the environmental factors were more important in explaining leaf element variation than taxonomy. Therefore, changes in temperature and precipitation will directly affect the spatial patterns of leaf elements and thus the associated nutrient fluxes and ecosystem functioning.

Otolith Sr:Ca ratios of the African longfinned eel Anguilla mossambica and giant mottled eel Anguilla marmorata from nine freshwater sites in four rivers of South Africa were analysed to reconstruct their migratory life histories between freshwater and saltwater habitats. For A. mossambica , the Sr:Ca ratios in the otolith edge differed significantly among rivers and had large effect sizes, but did not differ among sites within a river. Otolith Sr:Ca ratios did not differ among rivers for A. marmorata . When rivers were pooled, the edge Sr:Ca ratios of A. mossambica were not significantly different from those of A. marmorata . According to the river‐specific critical Sr:Ca ratio distinguishing freshwater from saltwater residence, most A. mossambica and A. marmorata had saltwater habitat experience after settlement in fresh water. This was primarily during their elver stage or early in the yellow eel stage. During the middle and late yellow eel stage, freshwater residency was preferred and only sporadic visits were made to saltwater habitats. The data also suggest that regional variations in otolith Sr:Ca ratios affect the critical Sr:Ca value and are a challenge for the reconstruction of migratory life histories that should be explicitly considered to avoid bias and uncertainty.

The morphology of gametes and the fertilization biology of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (Po), summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus (Pd) and their hybrids were examined. Multiple generations (two hybrids: Po♀× Pd♂ (F1) and Pd♀× Po♂; two backcrosses: F1♀× Po♂ and F1♀× Pd♂) were obtained by artificial insemination. Comparison of egg ultrastructure among Po, Pd and F1 showed the morphology of micropyle region and the distribution density of pores were species specific. There were c . 100–200 accessory openings around the micropyle in Po, but not in Pd and F1. The zona radiata thickness and number of parallel bands were similar between F1 and Po, which were different from Pd. Comparison of spermatozoa ultrastructure revealed a close relationship between Po and Pd. Cytologically, the six crosses obeyed normal fertilization and cleavage processes, and only one male pronucleus was observed in a fertilized egg, indicating a monospermic fertilization pattern. Analysis of the time distribution from fertilization to first cleavage revealed an obvious delay at pronucleus fusion in the Pd × Po cross. The delay might indicate some cytoplasmic‐nuclear incompatibility during the process of fertilization.
