Multi-scale quantile neural network for air quality index prediction - Shangrui Zhao; Weiqi Yu; Xi’an Li; Jing Xu; Jinran Wu (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2026)
Accurate forecasting of the Air Quality Index (AQI) is essential for mitigating the adverse environmental and public health impacts associated with air pollution. However, existing predictive models often exhibit limited robustness to extreme outliers and struggle to effectively capture multi-scale temporal dependencies and associated uncertainties. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel Multi-scale Quantile Neural Network (MQNN) framework that integrates Fourier expansion for temporal feature extraction and the pinball loss function for probabilistic quantile estimation. Specifically, the AQI time series is first decomposed via Fourier expansion to capture multi-scale temporal dynamics. These transformed features are then processed through multiple parallel subnetworks, each trained to predict a distinct quantile using the pinball loss. The overall training objective aggregates the loss across all time steps and quantiles, with optimization proceeding until convergence. The proposed MQNN model is empirically evaluated using AQI datasets from five major cities in China. Experimental results demonstrate that MQNN consistently outperforms conventional machine learning and deep learning baselines, achieving higher accuracy and more reliable uncertainty estimation. Furthermore, the MQNN framework facilitates the identification of dominant pollutants, offering actionable insights for targeted air quality management and policy interventions. While the MQNN model has strong predictive capabilities, its computational cost remains high for high-dimensional inputs. Moreover, integrating external information may further improve prediction accuracy and enhance the model’s applicability in real-world scenarios.

Purpose Soil nematodes, which are the most prevalent and widespread group of soil fauna, play a crucial role in maintaining soil health and supporting agricultural productivity. Despite their importance, the mechanisms underlying the assembly of soil nematode communities in agricultural ecosystems, particularly how these mechanisms vary across different spatial scales, remain poorly understood. Methods In this study, we examined the community assembly processes of soil nematodes across a geographical span of 4,138 km, covering multiple spatial scales within sorghum agricultural ecosystems. Results Our results reveal that, with increasing spatial scale, the contribution of stochastic processes gradually decreases, whereas deterministic factors become increasingly important. The iCAMP model indicates that dispersal limitation (78.88%) predominantly drives the community assembly mechanisms of soil nematodes. The importance of dispersal limitation and heterogeneous selection significantly increases, while the importance of homogeneous selection significantly decreases with increasing spatial scale. Additionally, we identified soil nitrogen, total phosphorus, and precipitation as key drivers influencing the variability in these assembly processes across spatial scales. Conclusion This study provides novel insights into the spatial dynamics and scale-dependent community assembly of soil nematodes, with important implications for predicting changes in their ecosystem functions in response to future environmental changes.

The double-spotted leaf beetle (DLB), Monolepta hieroglyphica (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a polyphagous pest that causes considerable damage to corn in China. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the influence of host plants on the biology of this beetle. This study assessed the feeding of DLB on three corn tissues and three weed species, as well as the impact of host plants/tissues on DLB fecundity. The Feeding rate of DLB was significantly affected by interaction between host plants/tissues and sex, indicating sex-specific patterns of feeding choice. The feeding levels of DLB adults were affected only by host plants/tissues, following the order: common knotgrass > corn silk > corn leaf > Asian copperleaf > white goosefoot > corn kernel. The fecundity of single female adults fed on common knotgrass was the highest (44.70 ± 11.47 eggs), whereas that fed on corn leaf was the lowest (2.00 ± 0.88 eggs). These results underscore the significance of weeds as alternative DLB hosts in corn agroecosystems, improving our understanding of DLB biology and offering valuable insights for establishing and providing an integrated pest management (IPM) program.

The antistress compound A outperforms others in boosting growth, antioxidant defence, and resilience to multiple stresses in largemouth bass - Yu Liu; Weiqiang Liu; Baozhou Wu; Haiyue Chen; Shuguang Hao; Long Huang; Yali Wu; Dingze Zhou; Yifei Li; Jie Zhou; Ying Tian; Wangqian Xu; et al. (Journal of Fish Biology, 2026)
The sustainability of Micropterus salmoides (largemouth bass) aquaculture is challenged by environmental stressors, prompting this study to investigate the antistress compounds Antistress Fish and antistress compounds A and B (AscA and AscB) through a two‐phase experimental design. In the initial 30‐day feeding trial, the effects on growth, antioxidant capacity, and immune function were evaluated. Subsequently, stress resistance was assessed through controlled challenges, including high temperature, hypoxia, simulated transport, and pathogen exposure. Results demonstrated that dietary AscA significantly enhanced growth performance, as evidenced by higher weight gain rate, specific growth rate, and average daily gain, along with a reduced feed conversion ratio, compared to the other groups. Both AscA and AscB supplementation increased serum and hepatic activities of alkaline phosphatase (AKP), total antioxidant capacity (T‐AOC), lysozyme (LZM), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), while reducing malondialdehyde levels compared to the control group (NC). Hepatic analyses further revealed a significant up‐regulation in the expression of immune‐related genes (Cu/Zn SOD, LZM, immunoglobulin M [IgM]) and a down‐regulation of stress biomarkers (heat shock protein 70, interleukin [IL]‐8, IL‐1β) in AscA‐fed fish. Following exposure to multiple stress challenges—including high temperature, hypoxia, simulated transport, and Aeromonas veronii infection—the AscA group exhibited significantly elevated serum activities of AKP, T‐AOC, SOD, LZM, and AChE, as well as increased hepatic activities of AKP, SOD, LZM, and corresponding gene (Cu/Zn SOD, LZM, IgM) expressions compared to the NC group. Notably, AscA supplementation resulted in the highest survival rates following hypoxia and pathogen challenges, outperforming all other treatments. These findings indicate that dietary AscA and AscB enhance antioxidant capacity, immune responses, and resilience to multiple stressors in largemouth bass, with AscA demonstrating superior efficacy in mitigating aquaculture‐related stress.

(Journal of Biogeography, 2026)
Aim Tropical Asia's extraordinary plant diversity is thought to be intrinsically linked to its dynamic geological history. However, quantifying the precise evolutionary processes that assembled this diversity across the archipelago remains challenging. A recently proposed biogeographic framework classifies the functional roles of different regions as “radiators,” “incubators,” “corridors” or “accumulators,” offering a useful framework to analyse this complexity. Here, we aim to provide a critical, independent test of this framework using the megadiverse tree genus Syzygium as a model system. Syzygium originated on the Sahul Shelf, contrasting with the Indochinese origin of rattan palms used in the original framework validation. Location Tropical Asia, Pacific Islands and Africa. Methods We analysed the complete chloroplast genome of 200 species of the genus Syzygium and performed phylogenetic analysis to estimate divergence times, ancestral region reconstruction, and estimated diversification and extinction rates. We then analysed the relationship between regional area and the dispersal of species and examined speciation and dispersal patterns in relation to the geographical environment. Results Our comprehensive chloroplast phylogenomic analysis indicates rapid diversification of Syzygium commencing ~12 million years ago, coinciding with shelf collision. Biogeographic reconstructions indicate that while the framework's general principles hold – continental shelf act as “radiators” and isolated islands as “incubators” – the specific geographic roles vary depend on lineage history . Main Conclusions Our study validates the radiator‐incubator model as a general feature of tropical Asian evolution but refines it by demonstrating that historical contingency is key to understanding the assembly of Earth's richest biota. Tropical Asian plant diversity reflects a unique geological history of continental shelf collision and dynamic island geography, offering insights into biodiversity evolution in other geologically active regions worldwide, highlighting the importance of maintaining large, connected natural areas and dispersal corridors for preserving the evolutionary processes that generate Earth's botanical richness.

Leaf Size Variation in Response to Climate Drivers Depends on Plant Life Form - Jiayi Lu; Shihao Wen; Siyu Chen; Yuran Dong; Xiuping Wu; Yao Li; Min Zhang; Zhiwei Ge; Jonathan M. Chase; Lingfeng Mao (Journal of Biogeography, 2026)
Aim Plant leaf size and shape vary across major climatic gradients, reflecting the mechanisms for how plants regulate the balance of carbon, water, and heat. However, the influence of climate on leaf traits can be confounded by multiple factors, and the complex variation among different plant groups remains insufficiently understood. Here, we investigated how climate influences leaf size traits and whether this effect is moderated by plant life form. Location China. Taxon Angiosperms. Methods Based on leaf length, width, and aspect ratio data from 26,726 angiosperm species distributed across major climate gradients in China, we analysed the effects of temperature and precipitation on leaf size traits, and compared differences among plant life forms (woody vs. herbaceous and evergreen vs. deciduous). Additionally, spatial heterogeneity was assessed across eight vegetation zones. Results Leaves are generally larger and rounder in warm and humid areas, and smaller and narrower in cooler and more arid areas. All leaf size traits respond more strongly to precipitation than temperature, with leaf length showing the strongest responses to both climate variables. Herbaceous and deciduous species exhibit stronger climate responses nationwide, whereas woody and evergreen species are more sensitive within vegetation zones. Key responsive traits show clear geographic shifts. Main Conclusions Overall, we find that leaf size and shape vary strongly across China, as a result of climate variation, but these patterns are modified by dominant regional ecological processes and the ecological strategies of plant life forms. These findings not only help clarify variation in plant traits along climatic gradients, but also provide a theoretical framework for predicting how different plant morphologies will respond to ongoing climate change.

Global Potential and Trade‐Offs of Conservation Tillage for Crop Productivity and Ecosystem Services - Wanyang Zhang; Linchuan Fang; Wenju Zhang; Chaoqun Wang; Tianyi Qiu; Xiaokun Li; Min Huang; Bolin Li; Ling Xia; Lai Peng; Yifeng Xu; Xiaoyong Wu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Conservation Agriculture (CA) is pivotal to achieve sustainable intensification, yet the global efficacy of its core practice, conservation tillage (CT), remains debated regarding the trade‐offs between crop productivity and ecosystem services across diverse environmental contexts. Here, we conducted a second‐order meta‐analysis, synthesizing 69 published meta‐analyses, to elucidate the context‐dependent drivers regulating the “win‐win” outcomes of CT. Globally, CT reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 5%, increased soil organic carbon sequestration by 21%, increased soil fertility by 11%, and reduced soil erosion by 12%, all while maintaining crop yields comparable to conventional tillage. However, CT can also emerge as a partial trade‐off between crop yields and ecosystem services, notably between crop yield and GHG mitigation. These trade‐offs were strongly regulated by climatic and edaphic conditions as well as management intensity. For instance, strong synergies between crop productivity and multiple ecosystem services were more pronounced in (semi‐)arid regions characterized by low temperatures and low precipitation, as well as in coarse‐textured alkaline soils. Furthermore, integrating CT with residue retention and crop rotations maximized these synergies, mitigating potential yield penalties. Collectively, our synthesis demonstrates that context‐specific refinement of CT implementation is essential to reconcile agricultural productivity with ecosystem services, thereby advancing climate‐resilient agricultural systems globally.

Grazing Stocking Rate and Rainfall Jointly Regulate Soil Methane Uptake in a Temperate Meadow Steppe, but Do Not Reverse Net Methane Emissions - Tianqi Yu; Yu Zhang; Miao Wang; Chu Zhang; Jiquan Chen; Yuchun Yan; Xu Wang; Changliang Shao; Xiaotao Lü; Hui Li; Linghao Li; Lianhai Wu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Grasslands are widely recognized as important sinks of methane (CH 4 ). However, their CH 4 uptake capacity has been increasingly weakened driven by human activities and changes in precipitation regimes. In particular, the rapid expansion of livestock grazing can lead to substantial increases in CH 4 emissions. For the Eurasian grasslands that have been subject to long‐term grazing, how well they currently function and will continue to function as CH 4 sinks under the changing precipitation regimes remains uncertain. Here we conducted an 11‐year grazing‐gradient experiment to assess the combined effects of grazing intensity and precipitation variability on grassland CH 4 fluxes. We measured soil CH 4 uptake in a manipulative grazing experiment in both wet and dry years, estimated livestock‐derived CH 4 emissions, and examined a range of biotic and abiotic drivers, including vegetation attributes, soil properties, and microbial biomass, for short‐ (prior to the onset of the lagged response) and long‐term (the entire experimental period) influences on the dynamics of CH 4 uptake in temperate meadow grasslands. Over the long term, CH 4 fluxes are jointly regulated by precipitation and grazing, with overgrazing amplifying the suppressive effect of rainfall on CH 4 uptake. Soil CH 4 uptake showed a lagged response to grazing, which may have been triggered by extreme rainfall events. While moderate grazing sustained the long‐term CH 4 uptake, it fails to offset livestock‐derived CH 4 emissions. In the short term, CH 4 fluxes are primarily governed by grazing, whereas in the long term they are jointly regulated by precipitation and grazing intensity. These results offer a new perspective for understanding the source–sink CH 4 dynamics of grasslands in the context of ongoing climate change.

Turncoat? Native Nitrogen‐Fixing Legumes Facilitate Plant Invasion via Soil Microbes and Nitrogen Transfer - Zhenwei Xu; Warwick J. Allen; Linwei Wu; Menglong Liu; Yi Hu; Jingfeng Wang; Mingyan Li; Xiao Guo; Weihua Guo (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Nitrogen deposition often promotes plant invasions and can arise from multiple sources. However, it remains unclear whether native legumes facilitate invasive plants directly through biotic nitrogen transfer or indirectly via soil microbial mediation. It is also unknown how exogenous nitrogen addition influences these facilitative effects. To address these questions, we combined evidence from a greenhouse experiment and global meta‐analysis. The greenhouse experiment tested the effects of neighboring plants (a native nitrogen‐fixing legume Albizia julibrissin ; a native non‐nitrogen‐fixing legume Styphnolobium japonicum ; or a conspecific) on the growth of invasive Rhus typhina and its native congener R. chinensis . Within‐pot membrane treatments were used to obstruct microbial and nitrogen movement between focal and neighboring plants, with and without added nitrogen. The total biomass of invasive R. typhina increased when grown with the nitrogen‐fixing legume compared with conspecific neighbors, but not when grown with the non‐nitrogen‐fixing legume. Positive effects of the nitrogen‐fixing legume on R. typhina were suppressed when nitrogen transfer or soil microbial movement was obstructed by membranes. Exogenous nitrogen addition did not alter the growth of invasive R. typhina or its interactions with legumes. The biomass of native R. chinensis did not differ among neighboring plant treatments, indicating that facilitation by legumes favored the invasive species. The global meta‐analysis of 268 effect sizes from 46 studies of the effects of legumes on neighboring plants also revealed that native legumes enhanced invasive plants' performance. Together, our findings recognize nitrogen‐fixing legumes as overlooked facilitators of plant invasion, operating through both nutrient and microbial mediated pathways. These findings highlight a paradox in which native species can act as “turncoats,” accelerating invasion and reshaping plant communities under global change.

Topography‐Mediated Soil Moisture Controls Forest Hillslope‐Scale NO and N 2 O Emissions - Kai Huang; Dongwei Liu; Yihang Duan; Di Wu; Geshere Abdisa Gurmesa; Ronghua Kang; Jingwen Xu; Xue Li; Yuqi Liu; Erik A. Hobbie; Xiaoming Fang; Chenxia Su; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Temperate forests are key terrestrial carbon sinks, yet their capacity to sequester carbon is often limited by nitrogen (N), a nutrient whose availability is declining in many ecosystems. Among factors contributing to declining N availability, climate‐driven changes in soil hydrology could force N loss via the emission of both nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O); however, forecasting these losses is challenging because they are regulated by soil moisture, a factor that regulates microbial activity and substrate availability but varies significantly across space and time. Here, we ask: how do topography‐driven soil moisture gradients and changes in seasonality (e.g., spring–thaw cycles) mediate hillslope‐scale N emissions? We measured over 2 years of high‐resolution in situ NO and N 2 O fluxes from 16 automated chambers deployed along a topographic gradient in a temperate forest to show that soil moisture gradients governed spatial and temporal patterns of soil N emissions. These gradients produced tradeoffs in process controls, whereby temperature regulated N emissions in drier upper positions, giving way to soil moisture regulating microbial pathways and emissions in wetter downslope positions. We then used these relationships among soil moisture, temperature, and N availability to develop models for predicting hillslope‐scale NO + N 2 O losses. Annual emissions averaged 0.2 kg NO‐N ha −1 (range: 0.1–0.3) and 1.0 kg N 2 O‐N ha −1 (range: 0.7–4.9), with N 2 O showing a stronger response to moisture‐driven changes than NO. The spring freeze–thaw period accounted for 15%–26% of NO and 24%–58% of N 2 O annual emissions, with the highest emissions measured consistently at lower topographic positions. These findings establish topography‐mediated hydrology as a primary control of forest soil N dynamics and gaseous N emissions, reducing uncertainty in forecasts of hillslope‐scale N losses under a changing climate.

Lake Water Depth and Nutrient Gradients Mediate Aquatic Plant Distribution via the Strength of Trait Network Associations - Guixiang Yuan; Huan Long; Jun Liu; Qiling Xie; Yaoxuan Tan; Zihui Hong; Jiahui Yue; Aimin Zhou; Hexuan Zhou; Weilin Xu; Bao Wang; Huanyao Liu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Aquatic macrophyte responses and adaptation to water depth and nutrient gradients are of critical importance for understanding the functional ecology of lakes and their restoration when degraded. However, the role of plant trait networks (PTNs), a powerful tool for decoding trait–environment–function relationships, in mediating these adaptations remains unclear, particularly across species and community scales. We conducted cross‐scale PTN analyses at species and community levels for aquatic macrophytes, integrating assessments of phylogenetic signals and hierarchical environmental filtering. At species level, aquatic macrophytes exhibited two complementary PTN‐based adaptive strategies: trait compartmentalization to enhance stress tolerance and trait integration to optimize resource utilization. Notably, local environmental conditions (rather than phylogenetic signals) dominated the pattern of PTN metrics, highlighting the primacy of immediate habitat constraints over evolutionary relatedness in driving species‐specific adaptations. At community level, environmental filtering operated hierarchically, acting sequentially by water depth, nutrient availability, and lake morphology. PTNs further mediated the trade‐off between community diversity and productivity, providing a mechanistic link between abiotic filtering and ecosystem function. Our findings advance network theory in functional ecology by extending its application to aquatic systems, bridging longstanding gaps between terrestrial and aquatic PTN research, and offering actionable guidance for eutrophic lake restoration (e.g., by targeting PTN‐linked core traits related to nutrient adaptation). Overall, our work provides a cross‐scale framework for understanding PTN mediated adaptation of aquatic macrophytes and its implications for ecosystem management.

Enhancing Operational Resilience in Coupled Short-Sea Ro-Pax Systems: A Cross-Port Coordinated Scheduling Model for Post-Disruption Recovery - Yu Wang; Ronghui Li; Fumi Wu; Junqing Lin (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Short-sea Roll-on/Roll-off passenger (Ro-Pax) corridors rely on tightly interconnected port pairs. These corridors face significant challenges in recovering efficiently after major disruptions, as recovery operations are often managed separately by each port, prioritizing the clearance of local backlogs. This can lead to system-wide inefficiencies due to the operational dependencies between ports and strict navigational rules. To address this challenge, this study develops a cross-port coordinated scheduling model for post-disruption recovery. Taking the Qiongzhou Strait (Xuwen Port–Xinhai Port corridor) as a representative case study, we formulate a mathematical model that jointly optimizes vessel dispatch timing at the departure port and berth assignments at the arrival port, strictly complying with one-way channel and basin safety constraints. An Adaptive Ant Colony Optimization (AACO) algorithm is designed to solve this complex problem. Validation using real post-typhoon data demonstrates that the coordinated strategy outperforms the conventional First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) method, reducing total vessel waiting time by 56.6% and the overall recovery time by 1.8%. This study provides a practical decision-support tool, highlighting how cross-port coordination can significantly improve the operational resilience of short-sea Ro-Pax transport systems during emergencies.

Ultimate Axial Load Capacity of Production Tubular Strings in Offshore Extended-Reach Wells - Yanfei Li; Bin Cai; Junrui Ge; Hao Fu; Jian Wu; Penglei Tang; Lei Zuo; Zhengkang Li; Shuhan Liu; Guangming Fu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
As oil and gas exploration advances, tubular strings in extended-reach wells are becoming increasingly susceptible to buckling, self-locking, and other failure modes due to their relatively low weight and limited structural stiffness. Existing studies have mainly focused on running feasibility and associated mechanical responses, whereas systematic investigations of the ultimate axial load capacity of deployed tubular strings remain limited. To address this research gap, the present study investigates the ultimate axial load capacity of tubular strings in deepwater extended-reach wells, explicitly accounting for the constitutive behavior of the tubular material. Numerical simulations were performed under both tensile and compressive loading conditions for different well trajectories, dogleg severities, material grades, and wellbore diameters, and the effects of these factors on the ultimate axial load capacity were systematically evaluated. The numerical predictions at the initial yielding stage were compared with available analytical solutions, and good agreement was obtained, indicating that the proposed model is reliable for initial yield analysis. The results show that well trajectory, dogleg severity, material grade, and wellbore diameter significantly influence the ultimate axial load capacity of tubular strings. The findings of this study provide useful guidance for structural integrity assessment, design optimization, and operating-parameter selection for downhole tubular strings in deepwater and ultra-deepwater oil and gas developments, thereby supporting the safe and efficient completion of extended-reach wells.

Efficient epigenetic editing of the zebrafish slc45a2 gene using the CRISPR/dCas9 system and tandem guide RNAs - Shen Huang; Mengfan Wu; Yan Huang; You Wu; Jian Xu; Shangqi Li; Linyan Zhou (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
The CRISPR-dCas9 (deactivated Cas9) system is a programmable DNA-targeting tool engineered by inactivating the nuclease activity of the Cas9 protein. This modification enables precise genomic localization without inducing double-strand breaks (DSBs), making it a versatile platform for diverse applications in molecular biology and therapeutics. However, there are relatively few research reports on the application of CRISPR/dCas9 technology in living organisms, particularly in fish. Therefore, this study aims to check whether CRISPR/dCas9 system was able to induce gene silencing via epigenetic gene editing in fish breeding. To visually demonstrate the gene silencing efficiency of CRISPR/dCas9, we specifically selected the key melanogenesis gene solute carrier family 45 member 2 (Slc45a2) as the target and further examined the impact of CRISPR/dCas9 technology on the changes of body color, gene expression and DNA methylation level of the slc45a2 gene. We found that microinjection of CRISPR/dCas9 with gRNAs targeting the CpG island around the transcription initiation site led to a significant reduction in melanin synthesis. This was particularly evidenced by a marked decrease in melanocyte numbers at 7, 45, and 80 days post fertilization (dpf). Moreover, injection of CRISPR/dCas9-gRNA elevated the methylation level of CpG island and inhibited the slc45a2 gene expression at transcription level. Furthermore, the elevation of methylation level of slc45a2 gene resulted in a notable decline of the gene expression of melanin biosynthesis pathway genes of pyrophosphatase (Inorganic) 4A ( pnp4a ), colony stimulating factor 1 receptor a/b ( csf1ra / b ) and tyrosinase ( tyr ) genes. The effects of gene editing were able to sustain to 80 dpf. The findings in fish indicated that epigenetic gene editing technology is efficient for gene silencing, which will lay the foundation for the application and promotion of this technology in aquaculture fish species.

Pectin of Olecranon Honey Peach Effects on Intestinal Health and the Mechanisms Involved in Hybrid Grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus♂ × Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀) - Jinhui Wu; Xiaoxiao Zhang; Qinguo Song; Feifei Huang; Tinghua Li; Zhendong Qin; Li Lin; Fei Shi; Huifan Liu; Cuiyun Zou (Fishes, 2026)
Water-soluble pectin (WSP) is a soluble dietary fiber with a high esterification degree and certain viscosity and emulsifying properties. It has diverse bioactivities—including antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro antioxidant mechanisms of water-soluble pectin, and the in vivo effects of intestinal antioxidant capacity and gut microbiota composition in hybrid grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus♂ × Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀). In an experiment involving feeding fish with WSP added to the diet, the addition of 600 mg/kg WSP promoted the activities of CAT, SOD, and GSH-Px in the grouper intestinal tract, thereby enhancing the antioxidant properties. At the phylum level, the relative abundance of Actinomycetes and Armatimonadetes decreased significantly. At the genus level, the relative abundance of Vibrio and Subdoligranulum increased significantly. In addition, antioxidant genes, inflammatory factor genes, immune genes, apoptosis genes, and genes of specific transmembrane proteins may participate in the regulation and improvement of the hybrid grouper intestinal tract. (CAT, MnSOD, and GPX), (TNF-α, IL-β, IL-6, and TGF-β), (MHC2, TLR3, KEAP1, and IKK-α), (C3, C8, C9, and P53), and (Claudin-3a, Occludin, ZO-1, and ZO-3) may regulate the intestinal function of hybrid grouper. Therefore, adding an appropriate volume of WSP to the diet is beneficial for the intestinal health of hybrid groupers.

Public satisfaction with cultural services in Zhoushan Archipelago: an ACSI-based analysis and land-sea governance - Jincheng Li; Jiebing Wu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Archipelago cities situated within critical land-sea interfaces are facing distinct challenges in delivering equitable public services, essential for fostering sustainable coastal communities. This study investigates public satisfaction with cultural services in Zhoushan, China, to understand how geographic fragmentation shapes citizen evaluations and informs land-sea governance. Drawing on a modified American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) model, we analyze 1,028 survey responses using structural equation modeling. Results reveal that public expectations significantly enhance perceived quality, while satisfaction reduces complaint behavior and strengthens loyalty. Expectations demonstrate a positive aggregate relationship with satisfaction, suggesting assimilation effects in contexts of visible service improvement. Spatial analysis uncovers pronounced core-periphery disparities attributable to accessibility barriers, resource diffusion asymmetries, and demographic filtering. Based on these findings, we propose four policy pathways: operationalizing polycentric networks through connectivity investments, embedding cultural services within marine spatial planning, advancing digital inclusion strategies, and institutionalizing participatory governance. This study concludes that optimizing public cultural services is a foundational investment in the social infrastructure necessary for effective land-sea governance in dynamic coastal systems.

3D Sonar Point Cloud Denoising Constrained by Local Spatial Features and Global Region Growth Algorithm - Fan Zhang; Shaobo Li; Haolong Gao; Yunlong Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Three-dimensional (3D) sonar overcomes the limitations of traditional measurement methods regarding imaging coverage and accuracy, making it indispensable for underwater structure monitoring. However, complex underwater environments often introduce significant noise into 3D sonar data, degrading monitoring performance. To address this, we propose a geometry-based filtering method. First, Total Least Squares (TLS) is employed to construct local spatial features, which guides a region-growing segmentation based on normal vector attributes. Subsequently, the resulting clusters are refined using these local geometric characteristics. Finally, statistical filtering is applied to eliminate residual outliers from a local to a global scale. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves F1 scores of 78.65% and 84.49% in outlier removal, effectively suppressing noise while preserving structural integrity.

Numerical Investigation of Micro-Scale Mass Transfer in Stretched and Compressed Kelvin-Cell Packings for Shipboard Carbon Capture - Bohao Wu; Nan Wu; Yongqi Li; Ying Bi; Daan Cui; Haoheng Liu; Chao Chang; Yulong Ji (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
For shipboard CCUS facilities, the integration of chemical absorption columns is constrained by a limited vertical envelope, which motivates packings with axially stretched or compressed Kelvin cells to support compact layout and flow control. This study employs computational fluid dynamics to investigate microscale flow and mass transfer characteristics in Kelvin cells. A comparison among the regular Kelvin cell (RKC), the vertically elongated Kelvin cell (VEKC), and the vertically compressed Kelvin cell (VCKC) indicates that axial stretching and compression modify internal flow distributions and gas–liquid mass transfer during CO2 absorption. The liquid distribution transitions from a film along the struts with localized accumulation at the nodes in RKC to a continuous columnar stream in VEKC, and then to a stable hollow cylindrical liquid film promoted by lateral redistribution in VCKC. VCKC promotes a stable and expanded liquid film, whereas VEKC tends to induce columnar flow. Reducing the cell size and porosity improves mass transfer efficiency, and the liquid load governs mass transfer flux. These findings provide theoretical guidance for the design and optimization of compact packings for process intensification in shipboard carbon-capture applications.

Optimizing the Fulvic Acid Potassium to Inorganic Fertilizer Ratio Mitigates Disc Filter Clogging in Drip Fertigation - Chang Lv; Junting You; Siying Huang; Shangtong Yang; Lixing Zhang; Rao Liu; Menglong Wu; Yanni Li; Qirui Gao; Wenquan Niu (Irrigation and Drainage, 2026)
The combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers (COIF) is a well‐established practice in drip fertigation, but its impact on the disc filter—an important and widely used engineering component that serves as the primary defence against emitter clogging—remains unclear. This study investigated disc filter performance under different mixing ratios of fulvic acid potassium (FAK) and inorganic fertilizers (urea, potassium sulfate and diammonium phosphate). The evaluation encompassed both hydraulic performance indicators—including head loss, relative flow rate, head loss growth rate and relative flow rate decline rate—and filtration performance indicators, such as post‐filtration sediment concentration and filtration efficiency. The results showed that the organic–inorganic fertilizer ratio significantly influenced disc filter performance ( p

AjFOSL Modulates Cell Cycle-Related Genes Associated with Coelomocyte Regeneration in Apostichopus japonicus Evisceration - Ran Xiao; Yinan Wang; Xiaoli Xu; Jiong Wu; Qiang Li (Fishes, 2026)
Apostichopus japonicus undergoes evisceration in response to adverse environmental stimuli, and its coelomocytes undergo rapid regeneration within 6–24 h to restore innate immune function. FOS, an immediate early gene, regulates cell proliferation and cycle, but its role in A. japonicus coelomocyte regeneration after evisceration is unclear. In this study, AjFOSL from A. japonicus was cloned, which harbors a 609 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 202 amino acids (aa) with a conserved bZIP domain and is localized on chromosome 14. It shares 58% homology with FOS from Holothuria leucospilota and Lytechinus pictus. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that AjFOSL clusters closely with FOS from Magallana gigas and Mytilus edulis. Tissue distribution analysis showed that AjFOSL was widely expressed in various tissues, with the highest expression level detected in the tentacles. Temporal expression profiling demonstrated that AjFOSL was significantly upregulated by 1.75-fold at 6 h after evisceration. After AjFOSL knockdown, the peak expression of Cyclin A, Cyclin B, and E2F was delayed and the coelomocyte number was consistently reduced compared with that in the evisceration-only group. The AjFOSL acted as an immediate early response gene and was associated with the regulation of coelomocyte regeneration by modulating the expression of cell cycle-related genes. This study provides novel insights into the molecular associations underlying coelomocyte regeneration and the evolutionary adaptation of FOS genes in echinoderms.

Dynamic Response and Operational Performance of an Integrated Floating Wind Turbine–Net Cage Platform - Xing-Hua Shi; Qiang Ang; Jing Zhang; Honglong Li; Chunhan Wu; Shan Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
This study investigates the floating wind turbine (FWT)–Net cage integrated platform, where the net cage is rigidly connected to the FWT foundation. The platform is numerically modeled using time-domain simulations in OrcaFlex V11.1, based on representative environmental conditions of the South China Sea. The operational performance of two layouts of the platform is evaluated and compared, considering both power generation efficiency and residual volume ratio as key indicators. The results show that the FWT–Net cage integrated platform exhibits superior hydrodynamic stability, characterized by reduced surge and pitch motions, lower mooring force fluctuations, and a higher residual cage volume. Additionally, the platform achieves better power generation efficiency and a higher residual volume ratio, indicating more effective use of the aquaculture space. Based on these findings, an improved integrated design incorporating additional outer net cages is proposed. This design demonstrates enhanced aquaculture capacity while maintaining power generation. The results provide valuable insights for the design of FWT–Net cage integration, promoting the efficient and sustainable utilization of marine space.

Preparation and Application of Monoclonal Antibodies Targeting IgM in Pearl Gentian Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × E. lanceolatus ♂) - Xiaorui Qian; Jiong Wu; Jiamin Qiu; Yixin Li; Jialin Zhang; Xiaoli Xu; Yinan Wang; Qiang Li (Fishes, 2026)
Viral and bacterial pathogen pathogens cause disease outbreaks that challenge the pearl gentian grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × E. lanceolatus ♂) industry’s sustainable development. The lack of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) in this hybrid grouper impedes the development of non-lethal immunoassays for detecting pathogen infections, as well as research on immune responses following vaccination. We purified serum IgM from hybrid pearl gentian grouper and generated two mAbs—designated 41-H2-E1 and 62-E8-G9—against the purified IgM, finding that mAb 62-E8-G9 specifically recognized the IgM heavy chain, whereas mAb 41-H2-E1 specifically recognized the light chain. In indirect immunofluorescence assays, both mAbs reacted with surface Ig-positive (sIg+) lymphocytes. A double-antibody sandwich ELISA was subsequently established using mAb 62-E8-G9 as the capture antibody and HRP-conjugated mAb 41-H2-E1 as the detection antibody, enabling accurate quantification of serum IgM levels.

In-situ Ag nanoparticle-embedded core-shell Cu-MOFs: enhanced photocatalytic activity for efficient degradation of petroleum oil spills in high-salinity seawater - Li Li; Guiguang Wu; Heng Luo; Ju Wang; Haijun Wu; Qianqian Hao; Yunxiao Han; Meihong Ge; Changbo Zhong; Yenan Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Oil spill incidents occur widely around the globe, posing significant threats to the multifunctionality of coastal ecosystems, economic development, and human health. However, conventional oil contamination remediation approaches are plagued by inherent limitations, including low treatment efficiency, secondary pollution risks, and poor universality. To address this issue, a copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) was synthesized via a solvothermal route in this study. Utilizing this Cu-MOF as a hard template, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were immobilized within its cage-like porous channels through an in-situ reduction strategy, yielding a Ag@Cu-MOF composite photocatalytic material. The degradation performance of this composite toward oil pollutants derived from marine oil spills was systematically evaluated under UV-visible hybrid light irradiation. The experimental results demonstrated that when the loading content of Ag NPs was optimized to 5%, the composite achieved a degradation efficiency of 95.1% toward simulated oil spill pollutants (with crude oil employed as the model contaminant) at an initial concentration of 100 mg·L -1 within 2 hours. This degradation efficiency was significantly superior to that of pristine Cu-MOF (51.3%) and bare Ag NPs (25.9%). Mechanistic investigations revealed that the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) effect of Ag NPs enables the extension of the material’s light response range to the visible spectral region. Concurrently, the Schottky junction formed at the interface between Cu-MOF and Ag facilitates the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, which remarkably enhances the photocatalytic activity of the composite. Furthermore, the Ag@Cu-MOF composite exhibited excellent structural and functional stability in a simulated seawater system with a salinity of 3.5% (mimicking real marine conditions). After four consecutive reuse cycles, the degradation efficiency remained above 88%, which not only validates the material’s reusability but also provides a novel material platform and technical paradigm for the efficient remediation of marine oil spills, holding great significance for advancing coastal ecological restoration practices.

Numerical Investigation on the Static Lateral Bearing Capacity and Failure Mechanism of Pile–Bucket Foundation - Mohamed A. Frah; Meijuan Xu; Lichen Li; Wenbing Wu; Maha A. Abusogi; Tasneem Idris; Jingliang Ye; Chunbin Wan; Ruqin Luo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
The pile–bucket foundation, comprising a bucket attached to a single pile, represents an innovative offshore solution for supporting wind turbines. Previous studies on laterally loaded foundations have primarily focused on single piles and pile–bucket systems; however, the effects of bucket size and loading eccentricity on lateral capacity and soil failure mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. This study investigates the lateral performance of pile–bucket foundations in silty sand under static loading conditions. Seven three-dimensional numerical simulations were conducted to evaluate the influence of bucket diameter, embedment depth, and loading eccentricity. Results indicate that pile–bucket foundations achieve 37–60% higher lateral capacity than single piles and 3–4 times the capacity of standalone buckets. Increasing bucket diameter produces more significant improvements than increasing embedment depth, whereas higher loading eccentricity reduces lateral capacity, ranging from an 8% increase to a 10% decrease relative to a single pile. Increases in loading eccentricity, bucket diameter, and embedment depth shift the rotation center upward by approximately 3–9%, compared with a single pile. At the mudline, the bucket resists up to 75% of the lateral load, while the pile carries up to 92% of the moment. Failure mechanisms are dominated by excessive rotation, including wedge-type failure near the mudline and deep rotational soil flow. Increasing bucket diameter or embedment depth raises bending moments by 5–9%, while higher eccentricity amplifies them by 32–50%. A modified analytical formulation incorporating a correction factor of 1.16 improves the prediction of the rotation center position. These findings provide quantitative guidance for the design and optimization of pile–bucket foundations supporting offshore wind turbines.
