Novel Alcaligenes ammonioxydans sp. nov. from wastewater treatment sludge oxidizes ammonia to N 2 with a previously unknown pathway - Meng‐Ru Wu; Ting‐Ting Hou; Ying Liu; Li‐Li Miao; Guo‐Min Ai; Lan Ma; Hai‐Zhen Zhu; Ya‐Xin Zhu; Xi‐Yan Gao; Craig W. Herbold; Michael Wagner; De‐Feng Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Heterotrophic nitrifiers are able to oxidize and remove ammonia from nitrogen‐rich wastewaters but the genetic elements of heterotrophic ammonia oxidation are poorly understood. Here, we isolated and identified a novel heterotrophic nitrifier, Alcaligenes ammonioxydans sp. nov. strain HO‐1, oxidizing ammonia to hydroxylamine and ending in the production of N 2 gas. Genome analysis revealed that strain HO‐1 encoded a complete denitrification pathway but lacks any genes coding for homologous to known ammonia monooxygenases or hydroxylamine oxidoreductases. Our results demonstrated strain HO‐1 denitrified nitrite (not nitrate) to N 2 and N 2 O at anaerobic and aerobic conditions respectively. Further experiments demonstrated that inhibition of aerobic denitrification did not stop ammonia oxidation and N 2 production. A gene cluster ( dnfT1RT2ABCD ) was cloned from strain HO‐1 and enabled E . coli accumulated hydroxylamine. Sub‐cloning showed that genetic cluster dnfAB or dnfABC already enabled E . coli cells to produce hydroxylamine and further to 15 N 2 from ( 15 NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 . Transcriptome analysis revealed these three genes dnfA , dnfB and dnfC were significantly upregulated in response to ammonia stimulation. Taken together, we concluded that strain HO‐1 has a novel dnf genetic cluster for ammonia oxidation and this dnf genetic cluster encoded a previously unknown pathway of di rect amm onia ox idation (Dirammox) to N 2 .

A mutation in LacDWARF1 results in a GA-deficient dwarf phenotype in sponge gourd (Luffa acutangula) - Gangjun Zhao; Caixia Luo; Jianning Luo; Junxing Li; Hao Gong; Xiaoming Zheng; Xiaoxi Liu; Jinju Guo; Lingyan Zhou; Haibin Wu (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021)
Key message A dwarfism gene LacDWARF1 was mapped by combined BSA-Seq and comparative genomics analyses to a 65.4 kb physical genomic region on chromosome 05. Abstract Dwarf architecture is one of the most important traits utilized in Cucurbitaceae breeding because it saves labor and increases the harvest index. To our knowledge, there has been no prior research about dwarfism in the sponge gourd. This study reports the first dwarf mutant WJ209 with a decrease in cell size and internodes. A genetic analysis revealed that the mutant phenotype was controlled by a single recessive gene, which is designated Lacdwarf1 ( Lacd1 ). Combined with bulked segregate analysis and next-generation sequencing, we quickly mapped a 65.4 kb region on chromosome 5 using F 2 segregation population with InDel and SNP polymorphism markers. Gene annotation revealed that Lac05g019500 encodes a gibberellin 3β-hydroxylase (GA3ox) that functions as the most likely candidate gene for Lacd1 . DNA sequence analysis showed that there is an approximately 4 kb insertion in the first intron of Lac05g019500 in WJ209. Lac05g019500 is transcribed incorrectly in the dwarf mutant owing to the presence of the insertion. Moreover, the bioactive GAs decreased significantly in WJ209, and the dwarf phenotype could be restored by exogenous GA 3 treatment, indicating that WJ209 is a GA-deficient mutant. All these results support the conclusion that Lac05g019500 is the Lacd1 gene. In addition, RNA-Seq revealed that many genes, including those related to plant hormones, cellular process, cell wall, membrane and response to stress, were significantly altered in WJ209 compared with the wild type. This study will aid in the use of molecular marker-assisted breeding in the dwarf sponge gourd.

Ambient climate determines the directional trend of community stability under warming and grazing - Peipei Liu; Wangwang Lv; Jianping Sun; Caiyun Luo; Zhenhua Zhang; Xiaoxue Zhu; Xingwu Lin; Jichuang Duan; Guangping Xu; Xiaofeng Chang; Yigang Hu; Qiaoyan Lin; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Changes in ecological processes over time in ambient treatments are often larger than the responses to manipulative treatments in climate change experiments. However, the impacts of human‐driven environmental changes on the stability of natural grasslands have been typically assessed by comparing differences between manipulative plots and reference plots. Little is known about whether or how ambient climate regulates the effects of manipulative treatments and their underlying mechanisms. We collected two datasets, one a 36‐year long‐term observational dataset from 1983 to 2018, and the other a 10‐year manipulative asymmetric warming and grazing experiment using infrared heaters with moderate grazing from 2006 to 2015 in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau. The 36‐year observational dataset shows that there was a nonlinear response of community stability to ambient temperature with a positive relationship between them due to an increase in ambient temperature in the first 25 years and then a decrease in ambient temperature thereafter. Warming and grazing decreased community stability with experiment duration through an increase in legume cover and a decrease in species asynchrony, which was due to the decreasing background temperature through time during the 10‐year experiment period. Moreover, the temperature sensitivity of community stability was higher under the ambient treatment than under the manipulative treatments. Therefore, our results suggested that ambient climate may control the directional trend of community stability while manipulative treatments may determine the temperature sensitivity of the response of community stability to climate relative to the ambient treatment. Our study emphasizes the importance of the context dependency of the response of community stability to human‐driven environmental changes.

An Improved Failure Risk Assessment Method for Bilge System of the Large Luxury Cruise Ship under Fire Accident Conditions - Zhongzhi Liu; Zhiwei Guo; Yongqing Li; Libao Zhu; Chengqing Yuan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
This paper develops an improved failure risk assessment method and discusses the risk control measures for a large luxury cruise ship’s bilge system under fire accident conditions. The proposed method incorporates an expert weight calculation model and a risk coefficient calculation model. The expert weight calculation model considers the differences in experts’ expertise levels (i.e., qualification level, decision-making capacity, and decision-making preference). Further, the method integrates the evaluations resulting from fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and extended fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS) of different experts. The risk coefficient (RC) calculation model utilizes a three-dimensional continuous matrix, serving to determine the risk factors’ ratings. The influences of the expert weight and RC calculation models on the proposed method’s performance are studied through a sensitivity analysis. The work demonstrates that the proposed method minimizes the issues encountered when using conventional methods for determining risk ratings. Finally, the results of an empirical study comprising ten experts evaluating the VISTA cruise ship’s bilge system prove the applicability of the proposed method and offer practical design guidelines to meet the regulations for Safe Return to Port (SRtP).

Design and Application of an In Situ Test Device for Rheological Characteristic Measurements of Liquefied Submarine Sediments - Hong Zhang; Xiaolei Liu; Anduo Chen; Weijia Li; Yang Lu; Xingsen Guo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Liquefied submarine sediments can easily lead to submarine landslides and turbidity currents, and cause serious damage to offshore engineering facilities. Understanding the rheological characteristics of liquefied sediments is critical for improving our knowledge of the prevention of submarine geo-hazards and the evolution of submarine topography. In this study, an in situ test device was developed to measure the rheological properties of liquefied sediments. The test principle is the shear column theory. The device was tested in the subaqueous Yellow River delta, and the test results indicated that liquefied sediments can be regarded as “non-Newtonian fluids with shear thinning characteristics”. Furthermore, a laboratory rheological test was conducted as a contrast experiment to qualitatively verify the accuracy of the in situ test data. Through the comparison of experiments, it was proved that the use of the in situ device in this paper is suitable and reliable for the measurement of the rheological characteristics of liquefied submarine sediments. Considering the fact that liquefaction may occur in deeper water (>5 m), a work pattern for the device in the offshore area is given. This novel device provides a new way to test the undrained shear strength of liquefied sediments in submarine engineering.

Background and aims As drought threatens the yield and quality of maize ( Zea mays L.), it is important to dissect the molecular basis of maize drought tolerance. Flavonoids, participate in the scavenging of oxygen free radicals and alleviate stress-induced oxidative damages. This study aims to dissect the function of flavonoids in the improvement of maize drought tolerance. Methods Using far-infrared imaging screening, we previously isolated a drought overly insensitivity ( doi ) mutant from an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-mutagenized maize library and designated it as doi57 . In this study, we performed a physiological characterization and transcriptome profiling of doi57 in comparison to corresponding wild-type B73 under drought stress. Results Under drought stress, doi57 seedlings displayed lower leaf-surface temperature (LST), faster water loss, and better performance in growth than B73. Transcriptome analysis reveals that key genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis are enriched among differentially expressed genes in doi57 . In line with these results, more flavonols and less hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) were accumulated in guard cells of doi57 than in those of B73 with the decrease of soil water content (SWC). Moreover, the capacity determined from doi57 seedling extracts to scavenge oxygen free radicals was more effective than that of B73 under the drought treatment. Additionally, doi57 seedlings had higher photosynthetic rates, stomatal conductance, transpiration rates, and water use efficiency than B73 exposed to drought stress, resulting in high biomass and greater root/shoot ratios in doi57 mutant plants. Conclusion Flavonoids may facilitate maize seedling drought tolerance by lowering drought-induced oxidative damage as well regulating stomatal movement.

SIRT7–SREBP1 restrains cancer cell metabolic reprogramming by upregulating IDH1 - Fengting Su; Xiaolong Tang; Guo Li; Andreas Koeberle; Baohua Liu (Genome Instability & Disease, 2021)
SIRT7 plays critical roles in tumorigenesis and tumor progression; however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we aimed to identify downstream targets of SIRT7 to help delineate its precise function. In this study, we demonstrate that SIRT7 is essential to regulate IDH1 expression in various cancer cell types. Interestingly, both SIRT7 and IDH1 levels are downregulated in breast cancer lung metastases and are useful for predicting disease progression and prognosis. Mechanistically, SIRT7 enhances IDH1 transcription, and this process is mediated by SREBP1. SIRT7 insufficiency reduces cellular α-ketoglutarate, a metabolite product of IDH1, and suppresses lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis. Moreover, α-ketoglutarate decline increases HIF1α protein levels and, thus, promotes glycolysis. This effect permits cancer cells to facilitate Warburg effect and undergo fast proliferation. Overall, the SIRT7–IDH1 axis regulates cancer cell metabolic reprogramming and, thus, might serve as a point of therapeutic intervention.

Spartina alterniflora invasion controls organic carbon stocks in coastal marsh and mangrove soils across tropics and subtropics - Shaopan Xia; Weiqi Wang; Zhaoliang Song; Yakov Kuzyakov; Laodong Guo; Lukas Van Zwieten; Qiang Li; Iain P. Hartley; Yuanhe Yang; Yidong Wang; Timothy Andrew Quine; Congqiang Liu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Coastal wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems and store large amounts of organic carbon (C)—the so termed “blue carbon.” However, wetlands in the tropics and subtropics have been invaded by smooth cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora ) affecting storage of blue C. To understand how S. alterniflora affects soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, sources, stability, and their spatial distribution, we sampled soils along a 2500 km coastal transect encompassing tropical to subtropical climate zones. This included 216 samplings within three coastal wetland types: a marsh ( Phragmites australis ) and two mangroves ( Kandelia candel and Avicennia marina ). Using δ 13 C, C:nitrogen (N) ratios, and lignin biomarker composition, we traced changes in the sources, stability, and storage of SOC in response to S. alterniflora invasion. The contribution of S. alterniflora ‐derived C up to 40 cm accounts for 5.6%, 23%, and 12% in the P. australis , K. candel , and A. marina communities, respectively, with a corresponding change in SOC storage of +3.5, −14, and −3.9 t C ha −1 . SOC storage did not follow the trend in aboveground biomass from the native to invasive species, or with vegetation types and invasion duration (7–15 years). SOC storage decreased with increasing mean annual precipitation (1000–1900 mm) and temperature (15.3–23.4℃). Edaphic variables in P. australis marshes remained stable after S. alterniflora invasion, and hence, their effects on SOC content were absent. In mangrove wetlands, however, electrical conductivity, total N and phosphorus, pH, and active silicon were the main factors controlling SOC stocks. Mangrove wetlands were most strongly impacted by S. alterniflora invasion and efforts are needed to focus on restoring native vegetation. By understanding the mechanisms and consequences of invasion by S. alterniflora , changes in blue C sequestration can be predicted to optimize storage can be developed.

A single nucleotide polymorphism variant located in the cis ‐regulatory region of the ABCG2 gene is associated with mallard egg colour - Hehe Liu; Jian Hu; Zhanbao Guo; Wenlei Fan; Yaxi Xu; Suyun Liang; Dapeng Liu; Yunsheng Zhang; Ming Xie; Jing Tang; Wei Huang; Qi Zhang; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2021)
Avian egg coloration is shaped by natural selection, but its genetic basis remains unclear. Here, we used genome‐wide association analysis and identity by descent to finely map green egg colour to a 179‐kb region of Chr4 based on the resequencing of 352 ducks ( Anas platyrhynchos ) from a segregating population resulting from the mating of Pekin ducks (white‐shelled eggs) and mallards (green‐shelled eggs). We further narrowed the candidate region to a 30‐kb interval by comparing genome divergence in seven indigenous duck populations. Among the genes located in the finely mapped region, only one transcript of the ABCG2 gene (XM_013093252.2) exhibited higher uterine expression in green‐shelled individuals than in white‐shelled individuals, as supported by transcriptome data from four populations. ABCG2 has been reported to encode a protein that functions as a membrane transporter for biliverdin. Sanger sequencing of the whole 30‐kb candidate region (Chr4: 47.41–47.44 Mb) and a plasmid reporter assay helped to identify a single nucleotide polymorphism (Chr4: 47,418,074 G>A) located in a conserved predicted promoter region whose variation may alter ABCG2 transcription activity. We provide a useful molecular marker for duck breeding and contribute data to the research on ecological evolution based on egg colour patterns among birds.

Comparison of Long-Term Outcomes of Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Catheter Evacuation for the Treatment of Spontaneous Cerebellar Hemorrhage - Leiyang Li; Haixiao Liu; Jianing Luo; Zhijun Tan; Junmei Gao; Ping Wang; Wenting Jing; Ruixi Fan; Xiaoyang Zhang; Hao Guo; Hao Bai; Wenxing Cui; et al. (Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Recently, minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic evacuation and minimally invasive catheter (MIC) evacuation, have been used for the treatment of patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (SCH). However, credible evidence is still needed to validate the effects of these techniques. To explore the long-term outcomes of both surgical techniques in the treatment of SCH. Fifty-two patients with SCH who received endoscopic evacuation or MIC evacuation were retrospectively reviewed. Six-month mortality and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the effects of the different surgical techniques on patient outcomes. In the present study, the mortality rate for the entire cohort was 34.6%. Univariate analysis showed that the surgical technique and preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score affected 6-month mortality. However, no variables were found to be correlated with 6-month mRS scores. Further multivariate analysis demonstrated that 6-month mortality in the endoscopic evacuation group was significantly lower than that in the MIC evacuation group (OR = 4.346, 95% CI 1.056 to 17.886). The 6-month mortality rate in the preoperative GCS 9–14 group was significantly lower than that in the GCS 3–8 group (OR = 7.328, 95% CI 1.723 to 31.170). Compared with MIC evacuation, endoscopic evacuation significantly decreased 6-month mortality in SCH patients. These preliminary results warrant further large, prospective, randomized studies.

Maximum July–September temperatures derived from tree‐ring densities on the western Loess Plateau, China - Huiming Song; Ruochen Mei; Yu Liu; Daniel Nievergelt; Anne Verstege; Paolo Cherubini; Ruoshi Liu; Changfeng Sun; Qiang Li; Ling Chen; Xueli Zeng; Junqin Guo (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Tree‐ring densitometric studies conducted in semi‐arid regions are exceedingly rare. In this study, we evaluate a new maximum latewood density chronology from a collection of Picea purpurea trees growing in semi‐arid northwestern China for climatic reconstruction purposes. We find statistically significant correlations between annual maximum density variations and July–September maximum temperatures over the 1957–2014 calibration period. Using a linear model to transfer the density variations to temperature estimates, we then reconstruct maximum summer temperatures from 1840 to 2014. Statistical analyses and verification tests demonstrate that the resulting transfer function is both reliable and stable. The reconstructed temperature series shows strong inter‐annual and decadal variability. Several extremely cool and warm years are apparent on an inter‐annual scale, while three extended cool periods and a warm period are observed on a decadal scale. In addition, the reconstructed temperature series exhibits a pattern synchronous with that of the Indian monsoon index, as well as a moderate relationship to volcanic eruptions. This densitometric study reveals typical climatic variation characteristics and provides useful data for deepening our understanding of climate history in the semi‐arid regions of China.

The impact of global dimming on crop yields is determined by the source–sink imbalance of carbon during grain filling - Liping Shao; Zijuan Liu; Haozheng Li; Yaling Zhang; Mingming Dong; Xuanhe Guo; Han Zhang; Baowei Huang; Rongbing Ni; Gang Li; Chuang Cai; Weiping Chen; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Global dimming reduces incident global radiation but increases the fraction of diffuse radiation, and thus affects crop yields; however, the underlying mechanisms of such an effect have not been revealed. We hypothesized that crop source–sink imbalance of either carbon (C) or nitrogen (N) during grain filling is a key factor underlying the effect of global dimming on yields. We presented a practical framework to assess both C and N source–sink relationships, using data of biomass and N accumulation from periodical sampling conducted in field experiments for wheat and rice from 2013 to 2016. We found a fertilization effect of the increased diffuse radiation fraction under global dimming, which alleviated the negative impact of decreased global radiation on source supply and sink growth, but the source supply and sink growth were still decreased by dimming, for both C and N. In wheat, the C source supply decreased more than the C sink demand, and as a result, crops remobilized more pre‐heading C reserves, in response to dimming. However, these responses were converse in rice, which presumably stemmed from the more increment in radiation use efficiency and the more limited sink size in rice than wheat. The global dimming affected source supply and sink growth of C more significantly than that of N. Therefore, yields in both crops were dependent more on the source–sink imbalance of C than that of N during grain filling. Our revealed source–sink relationships, and their differences and similarities between wheat and rice, provide a basis for designing strategies to alleviate the impact of global dimming on crop productivity.

Mitogenomic phylogeny of Trochoidea (Gastropoda: Vetigastropoda): New insights from increased complete genomes - Erfei Guo; Yi Yang; Lingfeng Kong; Hong Yu; Shikai Liu; Zhanjiang Liu; Qi Li (Zoologica Scripta, 2021)
Increased mitochondrial (mt) genomes can provide more sets of genome‐level characteristics for resolving deeper phylogeny. Limited information with respect to the Trochoidea mitochondrial genome organization is available; besides, monophyly and internal relationships of the superfamily still remain a matter of discussion. To resolve the monophyly and internal phylogenetic controversies of Trochoidea and expand our understanding for mt genomic characteristic evolution among Trochoidea, the phylogenetic trees were reconstructed using 13 newly sequenced complete mt genomes and 35 genomes from GenBank, and both the maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses were highly supported. Vetigastropoda phylogenetic analyses recovered the monophyly of Trochoidea. Trochoidea phylogenetic analyses and genetic distances supported the non‐monophyly of Tegulidae and Tegula , indicating that the taxonomic status of several genera ( Rochia , Tectus and Cittarium ) should be revised and Tegula , Omphalius and Chlorostoma should be placed as a same genus. The close affinity between Tectus virgatus and Rochia was also revealed. Three‐nucleotide insertion in nad1 , nine‐nucleotide insertion and six‐nucleotide deletion in nad5 are detected in Tegulidae, Tectus and Rochia , respectively. Gene orders within Trochoidea are stable, with gene rearrangements exclusive to tRNA genes observed. Homoplasious convergences because of trnT rearrangement display translocation in Turbinidae and reversion in Trochidae and Calliostomatida. For trnE and trnG , we identify 11 arrangement types, suggesting that the gene rearrangement history needs to be further evaluated. Our study emphasizes the importance of mt genomes in resolving phylogenetic relationships within Trochoidea. In addition, the mt genomic characters would contribute new insights into the classification of Trochoidea.

Scutellarin is Highly Likely to be Responsible for Drug-Drug Interactions Mediated by Hepatic Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide1B3 - Jianming Liu; Yongmei Guo; Yanqi Xu; Li Yuan; Huiting Zhu (Pharmaceutical Research, 2020)
Purpose Scutellarin, a flavonoid derived from the plant Erigeron breviscapus, is currently widely used to treat cerebrovascular diseases, liver-related diseases, and hyperlipidemia in china and other East Asian countries. This study was to investigate the effect of scutellarin on the uptake of rosuvastatin in HEK293T cells expressing human organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (hOATP1B3) and rat OATP1B2 (rOATP1B2), respectively, and the effect of scutellarin on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin in rats. Methods The newly established HEK293T cells expressing hOATP1B3 and rOATP1B2 were used to examine the effects of scutellarin and positive controls on in vitro rosuvastatin transport. After co-feeding with scutellarin, the rosuvastatin area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC 0–24h ), the peak plasma drug concentration ( C max ), elimination half-life ( t 1/2 ), time to reach C max ( t max ), clearance (CL) and apparent clearance (CL/F) of rosuvastatin were determined in rats. Results Scutellarin inhibited hOATP1B3- and rOATP1B2-mediated rosuvastatin uptake (IC50: 45.54 ± 6.67 μM and 27.58 ± 3.97 μM) in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner. After co-feeding with scutellarin, the AUC 0–24h and C max of rosuvastatin in rats increased to 27.4% and 37.7%, respectively. The t 1/2 and t max of rosuvastatin showed no significant change. Moreover, scutellarin caused 29.2% and 28.1% decrease in the CL and CL/F of rosuvastatin. Conclusion Scutellarin may inhibit the hOATP1B3- and rOATP1B2-mediated transport of rosuvastatin in vitro , and exerts a moderate inhibitory effect on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin in rats. Scutellarin is highly likely to participate in drug-drug interactions, as mediated by OATP1B3 in humans.

Cortical 3-hinges could serve as hubs in cortico-cortical connective network - Tuo Zhang; Xiao Li; Xi Jiang; Fangfei Ge; Shu Zhang; Lin Zhao; Huan Liu; Ying Huang; Xianqiao Wang; Jian Yang; Lei Guo; Xiaoping Hu; et al. (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2020)
Mapping the relation between cortical convolution and structural/functional brain architectures could provide deep insights into the mechanisms of brain development, evolution and diseases. In our previous studies, we found a unique gyral folding pattern, termed a 3-hinge, which was defined as the conjunction of three gyral crests. The uniqueness of the 3-hinge was evidenced by its thicker cortex and stronger fiber connections than other gyral regions. However, the role that 3-hinges play in cortico-cortical connective architecture remains unclear. To this end, we conducted MRI studies by constructing structural cortico-cortical connective networks based on a fine-granular cortical parcellation, the parcels of which were automatically labeled as 3-hinge, 2-hinge (ordinary gyrus) or sulcus. On human brains, 3-hinges possess significantly higher degrees, strengths and betweennesses than 2-hinges, suggesting that 3-hinges could serve more like hubs in the cortico-cortical connective network. This hypothesis gains supports from human functional network analyses, in which 3-hinges are involved in more global functional networks than ordinary gyri. In addition, 3-hinges could serve as ‘connector’ hubs rather than ‘provincial’ hubs and they account for a dominant proportion of nodes in the high-level ‘backbone’ of the network. These structural results are reproduced on chimpanzee and macaque brains, while the roles of 3-hinges as hubs become more pronounced in higher order primates. Our new findings could provide a new window to the relation between cortical convolution, anatomical connection and brain function.

Aims Soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a primary form of labile carbon in terrestrial ecosystems, and therefore plays a vital role in soil carbon cycling. This study aims to quantify the budgets of soil DOC at biome and global levels and to examine the variations in soil DOC and their environmental controls. Location Global. Time period 1981–2019. Methods We compiled a global dataset and analysed the concentration and distribution of DOC across 10 biomes. Results Large variations in DOC are found among biomes across space and the soil DOC concentration declines exponentially along soil depths. Tundra has the highest soil DOC concentration in 0–30 cm soils [453.75 (95% confidence interval: 324.95–633.5) mg/kg], whereas tropical and temperate forests have relatively lower DOC concentrations, ranging from 30.20 (24.78–36.80) to 54.54 (49.77–59.77) mg/kg. DOC generally accounts for Main conclusions A global synthesis is combined with an empirical model to extrapolate the DOC concentration along soil profiles across the globe, and global budgets of DOC are estimated as 7.20 Pg C in the top 0–30 cm and 12.97 Pg C in the 0–100 cm soil profile, respectively, with a considerable variation among biomes. The strong soil texture control but weak total organic carbon (TOC) control on DOC variations suggest that the investigation of physical protection of soil organic carbon might need to expand to consider the labile C in soils. The global maps of DOC concentration serve as a benchmark for validating land surface models in estimating carbon storage in soils.

Small Jellyfish as a Supplementary Autumnal Food Source for Juvenile Chaetognaths in Sanya Bay, China - Lingli Wang; Minglan Guo; Tao Li; Hui Huang; Sheng Liu; Simin Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
Information on the in situ diet of juvenile chaetognaths is critical for understanding the population recruitment of chaetognaths and their functional roles in marine food web. In this study, a molecular method based on PCR amplification targeted on 18S rDNA was applied to investigate the diet composition of juvenile Flaccisagitta enflata collected in summer and autumn in Sanya Bay, China. Diverse diet species were detected in the gut contents of juvenile F. enflata, including copepods, small jellyfish, anthozoa, polychaetes, echinoderms, diatoms and dinoflagellates. The diet composition showed obvious differences between summer and autumn. Copepod, such as Temora turbinata, Canthocalanus pauper and Subeucalanus crassus, dominated the diet in summer, representing up to 61% of the total prey items. However, small jellyfish, mainly consisting of Bougainvillia fulva, Solmissus marshalli and Pleurobrachia globosa, was the main food group (72.9%) in autumn. Environmental parameters showed no significant difference between summer and autumn. The mean abundance of juvenile chaetognaths in autumn was about eight times higher than that in summer, while the abundance of potential food prey was similar in both seasons. Our results suggested that juveniles chaetognaths might consume small jellyfish as a supplementary food source under enhanced feeding competition in autumn.

A Theoretical Study on the Hydrodynamics of a Zero-Pressurized Air-Cushion-Assisted Barge Platform - Fengmei Jing; Li Xu; Zhiqun Guo; Hengxu Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
Thebarge platform has the advantages of low cost, simple structure, and reliable hydrodynamic performance. In order to further improve the hydrodynamics of the barge platform and to reduce its motion response in waves, a zero-pressurized air cushion is incorporated into the platform in this paper. The pressure of the zero-pressurized air cushion is equal to atmospheric pressure and thus does not provide buoyancy to the platform. As compared to the conventional pressurized air cushion, the zero-pressurized one has advantages of less air leakage risk. However, due to the coupling effect on the interface between water and air cushion, the influence of the gas inside the air cushion on the performance of the floating body has become a difficult problem. Based on the boundary element method, the motion response of the zero-pressurized air-cushion-assisted barge platform under regular and irregular waves is calculated and analyzed in the paper. Compared with the barge platform without air cushion, numerical results from the theoretical method show that in regular waves, the air cushion could significantly reduce the amplitude of heave and pitch (roll) response of the round barge platform in the vicinity of resonance. In irregular waves, the air cushion also observably reduces the pitch (roll) motion, though amplifies the heave motion due to the transfer of heave resonance frequency. Thetheoretical study demonstrates that the zero-pressurized air cushion can reduce the seakeeping motion of barge platforms in high sea states, but might also bring negative effects to heave motion in low sea states. One should carefully design the air cushion for barge platforms according to the operating sea states to achieve satisfactory hydrodynamic performance in engineering application.
