Reliable vessel identity verification for maritime traffic systems using AIS physical features - Liang Chen; Lele Li; Yang Sun (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Reliable vessel identification is fundamental to maritime traffic safety and effective supervision. However, the Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) embedded in Automatic Identification System (AIS) messages can be deliberately altered, which compromises the integrity of situational awareness and poses risks to traffic management. To address this limitation, this study investigates vessel identity verification based on physical features inherent in AIS signals, shifting the focus from message-level identifiers to signal-level characteristics. A verification framework is developed by extracting stable physical features associated with onboard transmission hardware and the surrounding electromagnetic environment. To enhance discriminability, a feature fusion scheme is introduced to integrate complementary signal characteristics under varying channel conditions. In addition, a metric-constrained representation strategy is adopted to improve intra-class compactness and inter-class separability in the feature space. For decision-making, a hybrid criterion combining distance-based scoring with confidence control is employed, enabling both the reliable identification of known vessels and the effective rejection of previously unseen targets. The proposed approach is validated using AIS data collected in a port environment. The experimental results show that the method achieves an identification accuracy of 97.5% for known vessels while maintaining a rejection rate exceeding 90% for unknown vessels. The performance remains stable under complex and variable operating conditions. These findings demonstrate that AIS physical features provide a robust and reliable basis for vessel identity verification. The proposed framework offers a practical pathway to enhance the credibility of maritime traffic data and supports safer and more effective maritime governance.

Distance‐Limited Larval Replenishment in the Deep‐Sea Mussel Gigantidas platifrons Challenges Connectivity‐Based Conservation Planning - Zhaoshan Zhong; Li Zhou; Hao Chen; Chaofeng Cai; Yujie Yan; Ziyun Ye; Mengna Li; Jiacheng Wang; Huan Zhang; Hao Wang; Lei Cao; Yan Sun; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2026)
Deep‐sea chemosynthetic ecosystems, critical for global methane and sulphur cycling, require accurate connectivity data for effective conservation planning amid increasing anthropogenic threats. Because hosts and their environmentally acquired symbionts operate at fundamentally different spatial and temporal scales, we analysed each at the scale appropriate to its biology: host Gigantidas platifrons population structure was assessed both regionally (across 11 Northwest Pacific chemosynthetic sites) and within a single cold seep (Site F, South China Sea) across six shell‐length cohorts spanning 100 years, while the methanotrophic endosymbiont Methyloprofundus sp. was profiled across the same cohorts at Site F to test whether its genetic composition tracks host age or is environmentally homogenized. We found that although the overall host population at Site F is panmictic (ADMIXTURE K = 1; max F ST near zero), it exhibits significant fine‐scale kinship structure within size cohorts. Kinship decreases sharply with geographic distance ( p Methyloprofundus sp. is genetically homogeneous across all six host shell‐length cohorts at Site F (LD R 2 = 0.18879–0.34945; D ′ = 0.86803–0.91859; max F ST = 0.0352; π D = −0.5088), consistent with continuous environmental acquisition from a stable, well‐mixed local reservoir, thereby buffering the holobiont's core function. Our findings highlight that the host's strong reliance on highly localized recruitment makes population persistence vulnerable to local disturbance. These findings directly challenge conservation models that assume high connectivity and mandate site‐specific, holobiont‐focused management protecting local breeding stock and age structure.

EcPSMB8 Contributes to Antiviral Immunity in Grouper by Modulating MHC I Signalling and Virus‐Induced Autophagy - Jinpeng Chen; Xin He; Bangsong Meng; Min Guo; Shen Li; Shina Wei; Qiwei Qin; Min Yang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
The PSMB8 gene belongs to the immunoproteasome β‐subunit (PSMB) family and has been implicated in diverse physiological processes in mammals, including tumorigenesis, autophagy and apoptosis. However, its role in antiviral immunity in groupers remains largely unexplored. In this study, we cloned and characterised EcPSMB8, a homologue of PSMB8, from the orange‐spotted grouper ( Epinephelus coioides ), and investigated its potential involvement in antiviral immune responses. EcPSMB8 encodes a conserved 275‐amino‐acid protein that is ubiquitously expressed in grouper tissues and predominantly localised in the cytoplasm. Functional analyses showed that EcPSMB8 overexpression was associated with reduced replication of both Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) and red‐spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV). This antiviral effect was accompanied by suppression of basal and virus‐induced autophagy, as indicated by decreased LC3‐II accumulation and reduced expression of autophagy‐related genes. Meanwhile, EcPSMB8 overexpression correlated with enhanced major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I)‐associated immune signalling, including increased promoter activities of MHC I‐A, ISRE and IFN3, as well as upregulation of related cytokines. Together, these findings suggest that EcPSMB8 may contribute to grouper antiviral defence through coordinated modulation of immune signalling and autophagy. Importantly, a specific polyclonal antibody against EcPSMB8 was generated, providing a useful tool for protein‐level analyses and supporting future studies on antiviral immune mechanisms in teleost fish.

Microbial Community Structure, Rather Than Diversity, Predicts Plant Yield Under Global Change - Xu Xu; Jie Liu; Shicong Chen; Shanshan Liu; Menghui Dong; Qingfeng Xu; Peiyao Yang; Ting Sun; Longzheng Wang; Hemu Zhang; Yang Yang; Qirong Shen; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Under global change, terrestrial plants adjust their physiological metabolism alongside adaptive restructuring of rhizosphere microbial communities, yet the mechanistic links between plant phenotypic plasticity and microbial consortia remain unclear. Here, we conducted a meta‐analysis of 272 global‐change experimental comparisons and found that, among all global change factors examined, nitrogen addition exerted the strongest effects on both plant yield and microbial community assembly. Plant adaptive responses were more strongly associated with shifts in microbial community structure than with changes in alpha diversity. Microbial community structure reorganization was associated with increased soil carbon availability, whereas higher local microbial beta diversity constrained the magnitude of structural change. Based on a reanalysis of published amplicon sequencing datasets, we found that more stable and complex microbial networks, enriched with Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria, were associated with higher plant yield. These findings underscore plant‐microbe co‐adaptation under global change, highlighting microbial community structure as a key mediator linking soil environmental shifts to plant adaptive performance.

Divergence From Temperate Models: Pollution Dominance and Stochastic Assembly in a Continental Freshwater System Under Compressed Modernity - Xu Zhao; Lingjie Huang; Yu Ma; Huiyu Xie; Feilong Li; Wenpan Li; Aibin Zhan; Yongwei Jiang; Xianfu Zhao; Kai Chen; Jinbao Liao; Zhengfei Li; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Current understanding of how multiple stressors shape freshwater biodiversity at continental scales relies heavily on evidence from postindustrial temperate regions, potentially misrepresenting the dynamics of ecosystems facing rapid development and extreme environmental heterogeneity. Here, we present a standardized, continental‐scale field survey of benthic macroinvertebrates across 502 sites in China to test the universality of established macroecological patterns. Contrary to the expectation that physical habitat and climatic gradients primarily drive community structure, we found that organic pollution, with a focus on oxygen‐demand assays (COD and BOD), emerged as the single most influential variable, explaining the largest proportion of variation in taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity. Together with total nitrogen and total phosphorus loading, this chemical pressure largely overrode the explanatory contribution of land‐use and climatic drivers, with stressor interactions characterized by asymmetric dominance rather than the synergistic amplification commonly predicted. Furthermore, despite steep environmental gradients that theoretically favor deterministic sorting, community assembly was overwhelmingly dominated by stochastic processes (86%, based on overall pairwise comparisons across all sites). We suggest this pattern is consistent with a “stochastic trap” hypothesis, potentially arising from high‐frequency anthropogenic disturbances that weaken trait–environment matching. These findings indicate that biodiversity frameworks derived from stabilized, temperate systems may not generalize to the compressed modernity of developing regions. We propose that global conservation strategies should consider prioritizing the reduction of chemical bottlenecks, which may act as critical physiological constraints on freshwater resilience in the Anthropocene.

Overlooked Effects of Nighttime Vapor Pressure Deficit on Extratropical Northern Hemisphere Vegetation Productivity - Tiewei Li; Hans W. Chen; Deliang Chen; Lanlan Guo; Lianyou Liu; Wenping Yuan; Huan Zheng; Ziqian Zhong; Bin He (Global Change Biology, 2026)
The impact of elevated atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on vegetation productivity is well‐documented at monthly and annual scales. However, the influence of daytime VPD (VPD day ) and nighttime VPD (VPD night ) is often overlooked. Using multiple long‐term remote sensing proxies of vegetation productivity, we reveal distinct effects of VPD day and VPD night on growing season vegetation productivity over the extratropical Northern Hemisphere (> 25° N). VPD day was negatively associated with vegetation productivity in 73.2% of vegetated pixels, and robustness analyses across alternative datasets and methods yielded a range of 67.4%–75.6%. By contrast, positive effects of VPD night were detected in 51.8% of vegetated pixels, with corresponding estimates ranging from 36.5% to 55.7% across robustness analyses. This contrast was strongly related to aridity conditions. Vegetation productivity in drylands is more vulnerable to the double negative effects of high VPD day and VPD night , while in humid regions, it benefits from increased VPD night . Sap‐flow observations helped explain this contrast from the perspective of plant hydraulic transport. In humid regions, relatively ample soil moisture allowed nocturnal water transport to be maintained under elevated VPD night , helping restore plant water status overnight and providing favorable hydraulic conditions for daytime carbon uptake and vegetation productivity. In drylands, sap flow declined more strongly under high atmospheric demand and limited moisture during both daytime and nighttime, suggesting stronger hydraulic limitation and reduced overnight recovery, and thereby creating less favorable hydraulic conditions for vegetation productivity. These findings underscore the different roles of VPD day and VPD night in regulating vegetation productivity and highlight the importance of incorporating both into models to improve predictions of climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems.

Topography Dependence of Terrestrial Litter‐Derived Soil Respiration - Siyi Tan; Jing M. Chen; Xingzhou Huang; Andi Li; Josep Peñuelas; Helena Vallicrosa; Fuzhong Wu; Yingying Zhao; Mianhai Zheng; Jingjing Zhu; Xiangyin Ni (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Carbon (C) released from decomposing plant litter constitutes a major component of soil CO 2 efflux at the land surface, yet its contribution is rarely constrained separately from heterotrophic respiration of stable soil organic matter in global C budgets and Earth system model evaluations. We combined a global dataset with high‐resolution field observations to quantify the contribution of litter‐derived soil respiration ( R s ) using litter‐input and litter‐removal experiments, and to project its current distribution and future dynamics with machine‐learning models. On average, litter‐derived R s accounted for 30.9% of total R s . Higher contributions were estimated for experiments of shorter duration, highlighting the important role of fast‐cycling C alongside soil organic matter turnover. Litter‐derived R s varied substantially among ecosystems (grasslands > croplands > forests > wetlands) but did not differ significantly between tropical and temperate climates. Land surface slope exerted a stronger control than climatic or edaphic factors across both mountain and non‐mountain regions, suggesting a pronounced topographic regulation. High‐frequency field measurements further confirmed this pattern, with litter‐derived R s at mountain ridges being 1.5 times that in valleys. Global projections indicated a higher litter‐derived R s at low latitudes and greater vulnerability in cold climates under SSP 1–2.6 and SSP 5–8.5 scenarios. These findings demonstrate that litter decomposition is a substantial source of soil CO 2 flux that is strongly controlled by terrain. Accounting for this CO 2 pathway improves our understanding of how landscape heterogeneity influences terrestrial C cycle and enhances future predictions of ecosystem responses to climate change.

Different Responses of Loliginidae and Sepiolidae to Climate Change in Zhejiang Coastal Waters Driven by Life‐History Traits: A Machine Learning Approach - Feng Chen; Jianxiong Li; Zhou Fang; Rijin Jiang; Kai Zhu; Qian Dai; Hongliang Zhang; Yongdong Zhou (Fisheries Oceanography, 2026)
Cephalopods are commercially valuable invertebrates with short lifespans and rapid responsiveness to climate change, making them sensitive indicators of ecosystem dynamics. In recent decades, they have become the primary target species in the East China Sea (ECS) fishery following declines in demersal fish catches. Investigating the relationship between cephalopod populations and environmental factors enables researchers to characterize the ecological conditions conducive to their proliferation. The study employed six machine learning models to predict cephalopod distributions in the coastal waters of Zhejiang. Sea water temperature (SST) and chlorophyll‐a concentration (Chl‐a) were identified as key seasonal distribution drivers. Family‐level patterns largely reflected the dominant species, yet inter‐family differences revealed distinct environmental niches: Loliginidae favored warmer, nutrient‐rich waters, whereas Sepiolidae exhibited different seasonal patterns in their preferences for SST and Chl‐a. Notwithstanding these general consistencies, both cephalopods exhibited distinct spatiotemporal distribution patterns under different climate change scenarios. Under RCP2.6, Loliginidae were concentrated in the coastal waters of southern Zhejiang in spring and displayed a broader distribution in autumn. In contrast, under RCP8.5, their distribution range expanded notably with a northward migration in autumn. Sepiolidae showed a more constrained spatial distribution pattern, with shifts in their concentration areas across different climate scenarios and seasonal periods. Our findings systematically establish links between cephalopod spatiotemporal distribution patterns and dynamic environmental conditions, and highlight taxon‐specific responses to climate change, thereby providing a scientific reference for the formulation of future fisheries management strategies under variable climate scenarios.

Electron Transfer Drives Preferentially Assimilatory Sulfate Reduction in Petroleum‐Contaminated Soil - Jialu Sun; Yuewei Yang; Xin Yu; Xiaolin Zhang; Pinpin Yang; Bingyang Liu; Yali Chen; Dejun Wang; Xinhong Peng; Xiaojing Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2026)
Sulfur is a vital macroelement for soil fertility and crop growth, and its bioavailability is converted with electron flux. To determine the effect of biological electron transfer on the sulfur cycle in soil, a microbial electrochemical system (MES) was established to amplify the efficiency of extracellular electron transfer. Results showed that biocurrent obviously promoted the reduction of water‐soluble SO 4 2‐ to S 2− , and afterward reoxidised to fulvic acid sulfur (FAS, 32% increment) instead of humic acid sulfur (HAS, 77% decrement). The δ 34 FAS values (12‰ to 24‰) were consistent with the typical isotopic signatures of dissimilatory sulfate reduction, while the δ 34 HAS values (−40‰ to −60‰) matched the assimilatory sulfate reduction. Meanwhile, the assimilatory SO 4 2‐ reduction to cysteine improved with a 30%–33% increase for the NAD + /NADH and secretion of cytochrome c to support robust redox. Essentially, the precursor‐product pairs of desulfonation were enhanced by 26%–93%. Compared to a 6% contribution of HAS, the formation of cysteine accounted for 55% of the electron transport flux. According to screening 32 sulfur‐transforming genes, 609 genera were identified, especially 31%–84% proliferation for Desulfatitalea . This study reveals ways of organic sulfur conversion mediated by electron transfer, which can assist the biological amendment of sulfur bioavailability in soil.

Pan‐boreal mapping of forest age and implications for conservation - Yang Liu; Hongyan Zhang; Jianjun Zhao; Shan Yu; Hongbing Chen; Ying Hong; Tongxin Wang; Hui Li; Zhiyong Wang (Conservation Biology, 2026)
Boreal forests, sensitive indicators of global climate change, have age structures and spatial patterns strongly shaped by wildfire and logging that directly affect carbon budgets and biodiversity. In this study, we integrated multisource datasets to develop a quantitative framework for mapping forest age across the boreal biome. We first used change detection methods to identify stand‐replacing disturbances from 1985 to 2020 and then used the time elapsed since disturbance to 2020 as the initial estimate of forest age. We combined forest inventory age records, canopy height, forest landscape integrity, and climatic variables in a random forest model to predict forest age ( R 2 = 0.62, RMSE = 35.46 years). Our findings revealed that boreal forests are generally in a mature state (mean: 112 years; median: 115 years), and their age structure displays a bimodal distribution primarily shaped by fire and logging regimes. Regions with frequent disturbances—such as western Canada and Siberia—are characterized by concentrations of young forests, leading to an increasing proportion of early‐successional stands and a highly heterogeneous landscape mosaic. Some old‐growth patches persist mainly in high‐latitude areas near water bodies, which hold particular ecological value for maintaining long‐term forest stability. We also found that the spatial distribution of forest age is jointly regulated by climatic factors (e.g., low vapor pressure deficit, low solar radiation, and high precipitation) and landscape integrity, which together influence fire regimes and the conditions necessary for long‐term forest persistence. Our results highlighted the need to emphasize landscape‐scale age structure diversity in conservation planning. Environmental characteristics can guide the delineation of priority areas, especially regions with high landscape integrity and low disturbance, to help address current protection gaps. This work improves the understanding of boreal forest age patterns and supports global carbon accounting, systematic conservation planning, and climate change adaptation.

Associations of Fluke (Spirorchiid) Infection and Buoyancy Disorder with Death in Stranded Sea Turtles Undergoing Rehabilitation in Taiwan - Ming-An Tsai; I-Chun Chen; Pei-Qi Ye; Po-Yu Wu; Tsung-Hsien Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Sea turtles are increasingly regarded as indicators of coastal ecosystem health, as their clinical condition and disease profiles reflect prolonged exposure to environmental pressures in impacted marine habitats. Wildlife rehabilitation facilities play an important role in sea turtle conservation, although risk factors associated with mortality during rehabilitation are not well defined. This retrospective study evaluated clinical and infectious risk factors for death in 108 stranded sea turtles (including 70 green turtles, 19 olive ridley turtles, 16 hawksbill turtles, 2 loggerhead turtles, and 1 leatherback turtle) admitted to the rehabilitation facility at the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium between 2018 and 2024. Data on buoyancy disorder, spirorchiid fluke infection, fibropapillomatosis and final disposition were analysed using univariate and multivariable logistic regression. Buoyancy disorder (adjusted OR = 9.96) and spirorchiid fluke infection (adjusted OR = 3.33) were associated with increased mortality, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and early detection of these conditions during rehabilitation. However, the retrospective design may inherently limit causal inference.

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) Inhibits Singapore Grouper Iridovirus (SGIV) Infection by Interfering With Viral Life Cycle and Modulating Host Cell Cycle G2/M Checkpoint - Tianhong Zhao; Jinkun Xie; Chen‐Ao Li; Mingzhu Liu; Qing Yu; Lin Huang; Yanxia Gao; Mingming Zhao; Jiaxi Li; Jia Cai; Huapu Chen; Fei Ling; et al. (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a highly pathogenic virus that causes substantial economic losses in marine grouper aquaculture, and effective antiviral agents are currently lacking. In this study, the anti‐SGIV activity of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a natural compound from green tea, was evaluated and its underlying mechanisms were investigated. Cytotoxicity assays showed that EGCG at concentrations up to 12.5 μg/mL was safe for grouper spleen (GS) cells. EGCG treatment reduced viral MCP and VP19 mRNA expression in a dose‐dependent manner, indicating its anti‐SGIV activity. Mechanistic studies revealed that EGCG directly impaired SGIV particle infectivity and interfered with viral adsorption, entry, and intracellular replication. Network pharmacology analysis identified overlapping genes between EGCG targets and SGIV‐induced differentially expressed genes, with enrichment pathways related to cell cycle regulation, particularly the G2/M checkpoint. Further studies showed that SGIV infection upregulated the G2/M checkpoint regulators WEE1 and CHEK2, and EGCG treatment reversed these dysregulations, suggesting that EGCG alleviates SGIV‐induced G2/M arrest. In vivo, EGCG treatment significantly reduced viral load in infected groupers and improved survival rate. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that EGCG exerts potent anti‐SGIV activity both in vitro and in vivo by directly targeting multiple steps of the viral life cycle and modulating host cell cycle G2/M checkpoint pathways, highlighting its potential as a natural therapeutic agent against SGIV infection.

Pseudostellaria heterophylla Extract Enhances the Immune Responses in Larimichthys crocea Against Pseudomonas plecoglossicida Infection - Kun Huang Han; Zi Min Li; Li Zhou; Dong Ling Zhang; Ying Li; Zhao Han Sun; Jia Chen; Zhi Deng Lin; Yan Bin Dai; Peng Fei Zou (Fishes, 2026)
Visceral white spot disease caused by Pseudomonas plecoglossicida poses a severe threat to large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) aquaculture. This study investigated the immunomodulatory effects and underlying mechanisms of Pseudostellaria heterophylla extract against P. plecoglossicida infection in L. crocea. Fish were fed a basal diet supplemented with 1% P. heterophylla extract for 30, 45, and 60 days, followed by intraperitoneal injection with 200 μL P. plecoglossicida (1 × 104 CFU/mL). When the control group reached about 50% mortality, transcriptome sequencing of head kidney tissues was performed on the 45 and 60 days post-feeding of the treatment groups to analyze gene expression changes following bacterial infection. Survival rates of the treatment groups were 33.33%, 13.33%, and 20% higher than those of the control group at 30, 45, and 60 days post-feeding, respectively. Transcriptomic analysis revealed time-dependent transcriptional responses: in one group, 45 days post-feeding, 10 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified (2 up-regulated and 8 down-regulated), whereas in another group, 60 days post-feeding, 893 DEGs were detected (417 up-regulated and 476 down-regulated). Functional enrichment analysis (GO, KEGG, and GSEA) demonstrated that DEGs were significantly enriched in immune-related pathways, including Toll-like receptor signaling, chemokine activity, Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, hematopoietic cell lineage, and cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction. Key immune genes, including chemokines, Toll-like receptors, and T cell regulators, were significantly up-regulated. These findings indicate that P. heterophylla extract enhances both the specific and non-specific immune capabilities of L. crocea in a time-dependent manner, with prolonged supplementation eliciting more robust transcriptional activation of immune defense pathways. This study provides a scientific foundation for developing immunological prevention strategies against P. plecoglossicida infection in aquaculture.

An integrated shoelace–power law preprocessing workflow for supporting ship-specific wind load assessment during berthing - Liang Ma; Yanru Han; Yuanyuan Chen; Zhenkai Huang; Yu Zhang; Liang Cao; Jianing Dan; Zhaorui Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Wind loads are critical safety concerns for ship berthing and mooring operations in ports. Existing standard methods for wind load assessment often adopt simplified geometric assumptions and fixed wind shear parameters, lacking ship-specific and loading-adaptive capabilities which hinders the practical implementation of the One Ship One Calculation (OSOC) concept in ship wind load assessment. This study proposes an integrated Shoelace-Power Law Model (S-PLM) as a preprocessing workflow for ship windage geometry analysis and height-consistent equivalent wind speed estimation. The workflow combines polygon area calculation via the shoelace algorithm, loading-dependent geometric centroid calculation, and power-law-based vertical wind speed conversion. Validation against the OCIMF standard method shows better agreement in windage area (MAPE = 0.63%) and acceptable deviations in equivalent wind speed across different vessels and loading conditions. Sensitivity analysis of the power-law exponent (α = 0.10–0.25) confirms controllable parameter influence on model outputs. The proposed S-PLM provides reliable, ship-specific preprocessing inputs for subsequent wind load evaluation, supporting refined operational risk assessment during berthing.

Nonlinear dynamics of fish beta diversity and the disproportionate influence of non‐native species in cascade‐dammed rivers - Yintao Jia; Junle Li; Pedro Cardoso; Yu Zhuo; Jun Wang; Xiaoyun Sui; Xiu Feng; Ren Zhu; Kemao Li; Yifeng Chen (Conservation Biology, 2026)
Cascade dam development is transforming freshwater ecosystems worldwide, yet the long‐term responses of fish beta diversity to progressive hydrological disturbances remain poorly understood. We analyzed data from the upper reaches of the Yellow River on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau spanning five decades (pre‐1975 to 2023), across a 1983‐km river corridor influenced by sequential cascade dams. We quantified temporal shifts in taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional beta diversity and determined the contributions of species extinctions and introductions to multidimensional beta‐diversity change. Although damming is generally expected to promote biotic homogenization by simplifying habitats and favoring widespread generalist or non‐native species, thereby making communities more similar, our results revealed pervasive biotic differentiation, with communities becoming increasingly distinct across all diversity dimensions. Beta diversity followed a nonlinear trajectory, increasing sharply during early dam construction and stabilizing in later stages. Both native species extinctions and non‐native introductions contributed to these patterns, but their relative importance shifted over time, with introductions showing a greater contribution at later stages. Non‐native species, particularly those introduced from outside the Yellow River basin, exerted disproportionate effects on phylogenetic and functional beta diversity owing to their distinct evolutionary histories and ecological traits. Environmental predictors such as reservoir age, cumulative upstream reservoir capacity, and individual reservoir capacity were strongly associated with patterns in beta diversity, reflecting the cumulative and spatially structured effects of long‐term hydrological modification. Our findings provide quantitative, multidimensional evidence that non‐native species introductions can outweigh native species extinctions in shaping beta diversity under sequential disturbance. We highlight the importance of proactive management of non‐native species and long‐term, multidimensional biodiversity monitoring to detect postdisturbance dynamics and guide timely conservation interventions. Collectively, our results offer a framework for identifying and anticipating the cumulative ecological consequences of cascade dam development and other chronic ecosystem modifications in the Anthropocene.

Male-Biased Social Deficits in Chd8+/R2219* Mouse Model of Autism Linked to Hippocampal Abnormalities - Qian Zhang; Yang Qiao; Huixian Li; Jiali Zeng; Jingwen Chen; Hui Zhou; Yuzheng Hu; Jianhong Luo (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2026)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with a 4:1 male bias, yet the biological basis for this sex difference remains poorly understood. Heterozygous mutations in the chromatin remodeler CHD8 confer high risk for ASD, with phenotypes influenced by sex and genetic background. Here, we generated Chd8 +/R2219* mice carrying a CRISPR-Cas9-generated mutation orthologous to a human variant. These mice recapitulated core ASD features, including macrocephaly and autistic-like behaviors. Notably, social deficits showed a male preponderance, directly mirroring the human sex bias. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed whole-brain enlargement in mutants, with voxel-based morphometry identifying bilateral hippocampal expansion. Crucially, hippocampal volume correlated with social deficit severity exclusively in male mutants. Functional connectivity analyses revealed disrupted hippocampal networks, and connectivity patterns within socially relevant circuits predicted behavioral outcomes. Together, our findings establish this model as exhibiting pronounced sexual dimorphism and implicate aberrant hippocampal structure and connectivity as key neural correlates of male-biased social deficits.

An Experimental Investigation on the Effect of Aspect Ratio on the Flow-Induced Motion and Energy Harvesting of a Circular Cylinder with T-Shaped Attachments - Danjie Ran; Yizhuo Wu; Bomeng Feng; Kainan Chen; Xiang Yan; Wene Wang; Jijian Lian; Shishen Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Water channel experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of aspect ratio (H/D = 0.9–1.9) on the flow-induced motion (FIM) and hydrokinetic energy conversion performance of an elastically mounted circular cylinder with T-shaped attachments (Cir-T-Att). The results indicate that the aspect ratio critically governs the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) to galloping transition by modulating the effective angle of attack. While larger H/D promotes galloping and higher amplitudes under low damping, this benefit is negated under elevated system damping, where amplitudes are uniformly suppressed. Consequently, the maximum power output exhibits a non-monotonic dependence with H/D. Within the investigated parametric range, peak performance occurs at H/D = 1.1, with a total damping ratio ζtotal = 0.122 and reduced velocity Ur = 11.25. For practical harvester design, the optimal H/D should be selected by aligning the intended oscillation regime with local flow characteristics.

Analysis of Temporal Variations in Significant Wave Height in the Circum-Bohai Sea Based on Multi-Satellite Merged Data - Chuntao Chen; Yafang Sun; Xiaoqing Li; Hailong Peng; Jinxuan Wang; Wanlin Zhai; Wenhao Liu; Mingsen Lin; Jiajia Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Wave height is a critical parameter for marine hazard warning systems and the structural safety of offshore engineering. The Bohai Sea and its surrounding region is an important economic hub in northern China and serves as the maritime route for the coastal provinces of North, Northwest, and Northeast China. Therefore, the sea state in the Circum-Bohai Sea has a significant impact on the Bohai economic circle. This study analyzes and summarizes the medium-term variation trends of waves in the Circum-Bohai Sea based on multi-source satellite data (AVISO/Copernicus dataset) from 2009 to 2025. The results indicate that the Significant wave height (SWH) in the Circum-Bohai Sea is mainly dominated by wind waves, exhibiting significant seasonal variation characteristics. The significant wave height in winter exhibited a consecutive decline from 2014 to 2018, with a reduction of approximately 14%. Spectral analysis reveals the existence of one-year, half-year, and two-year cyclical variation signals in the SWH of the Circum-Bohai Sea. This study provides a scientific foundation for marine hazard early warning systems, offshore engineering safety assessments, and climate change adaptation strategies in the Bohai Economic Rim.

Storm-Resolving Earth: How Well Do Global Kilometer-scale Models Simulate Storms in East Asia’s 2020 Record-breaking Wet Summer? - Xiaotong Huang; Puxi Li; Hongyong Yu; Xuelin Hu; Haoming Chen; Jian Li; Andreas F. Prein; Yuanchun Zhang; Moran Zhuang; Yufei Wu; Tianjun Zhou (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2026)
High-performance computing now enables a new generation of global kilometer-scale models. As part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Global Hackathon 2025 initiative, for the first time, multiple cutting-edge global kilometer-scale models have been run for an entire year. All of them have covered the summer of 2020, when East Asia experienced record-breaking precipitation and catastrophic floods, mainly driven by mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). Using an updated storm-tracking algorithm, this study investigated the performance of six global kilometer-scale models in simulating MCS characteristics during the record-breaking wet summer of 2020 in East Asia. Results revealed that all models generally reproduced MCS characteristics, including MCS size, duration, and key features of convection and precipitation. Models also generally captured finer characteristics such as diurnal variations and the frequency–intensity distribution of hourly precipitation. Among the models, Integrated Forecast System (IFS) performs best in capturing MCS rainfall spatial patterns, Nonhydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM) excels in simulating MCS size, and Simple Cloud-Resolving E3SM Atmosphere Model (SCREAM) most accurately represents the land–sea contrast in MCS precipitation intensity. A common bias across models is the underestimation of rainfall area and overestimation of heavy precipitation intensity, indicating simulated convective cores are stronger than observed. Our results demonstrate that global kilometer-scale modeling has reached a significant benchmark, yet persistent biases remain in MCS simulation. Continued improvements in these models will not only enhance the reliability of modeling but also improve disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.

A zeaxanthin epoxidase homolog from the intertidal red alga Pyropia haitanensis: evolutionary divergence and stress-responsive expression - Zhujun Zhu; Tingting Niu; Yanrong Li; Juanjuan Chen; Xiaojun Yan; Haimin Chen (Algae, 2026)
Zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZEP) plays a central role in carotenoid metabolism, but its evolution and function in red algae remain unclear. Here, we comprehensively identified ZEP homologs across red algal lineages through phylogenetic reconstruction, conserved motif analysis, structural comparison, and branch‑specific selection pressure analyses to uncover adaptive evolutionary patterns. The ZEP homolog from Pyropia haitanensis (PhZEP) was selected for functional characterization, including promoter cis‑element analysis, heterologous expression, in vitro enzymatic assays, and expression profiling under high light and desiccation–rehydration stress. Thirteen ZEP homologs were identified and clustered into three clades, indicating early divergence and a cyanobacterial origin. Lineage‑specific structural divergence and purifying selection with relaxed constraints in Bangiophyceae were observed. Recombinant PhZEP specifically converted zeaxanthin to antheraxanthin, but not further to violaxanthin. PhZEP expression was moderately induced by high light and strongly upregulated during desiccation, peaking at 9.52‑fold at 4.8% relative water content. These results demonstrate that PhZEP exhibits specific zeaxanthin epoxidase activity and may be associated with abiotic stress responses, providing insights into carotenoid pathway evolution and photoprotection strategies in red algae.

Acoustic Features of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Ingesting Pelletized Feed - Pengxiang Xu; Yan Wang; Hongyang Chen; Shuang Song; Hexiang Yang; Qingxia Li; Leiming Yin; Binbin Xing (Fishes, 2026)
In this study, passive acoustic technology was used to obtain sound signals indicative of feeding in individual rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Feeding signals were separated from background signals to characterize their acoustic parameters, in order to quantify feeding activity. The audio and video data of rainbow trout during feeding were synchronized to determine the signal category and mark it, and the time-domain features and frequency-domain features of fish swallowing feed were extracted. This not only has important theoretical value for in-depth understanding of fish growth, reproduction, and other life activities, but also provides data support and technical recommendations for future research on this topic.

Time-Series Transcriptomics of a Gill Cell Line (BTG) from Chinese Bahaba (Bahaba taipingensis) During ISKNV Infection (3–24 hpi) - Chenfei Guo; Zhihong Gong; Fei Fang; Xihong Li; Lei Wang; Na Wang; Zhangfan Chen; Lin Yan; Kuoqiu Yan; Guobin Hu; Songlin Chen (Fishes, 2026)
The Chinese bahaba (Bahaba taipingensis), an endangered marine fish, is highly vulnerable to infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV). In this work, we developed a gill filament-derived cell line, designated BTG, to investigate how these cells respond to ISKNV over time, specifically from 3 to 24 h post-infection (hpi). BTG cells grew steadily, displayed a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 48, demonstrated high transfection efficiency, and were highly susceptible to viral infection. Characteristic cytopathic effects (CPEs) became noticeable as early as 6 hpi at 27 °C. RNA-seq profiling showed that the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) steadily increased with time. Standard enrichment analysis at individual time points (3, 6, 12, and 24 hpi) highlighted pathways mainly involved in DNA replication, cell cycle control, ribosome assembly, transcription and translation, mismatch repair, and cell adhesion. Temporal clustering analysis, however, revealed hidden patterns in immune gene expression. Genes that were consistently downregulated were enriched in immune-related pathways, including ECM–receptor interaction, cytokine–receptor signaling, PI3K–AKT, and Wnt signaling, indicating prolonged suppression of host defense mechanisms. In contrast, clusters of genes transiently upregulated during the first 6 h post-infection were associated with antiviral and innate immune pathways, such as NF-κB, JNK, IRF3, IRF7, caspases, JAK, MHC I, and lysosome-related functions, suggesting a rapid but short-lived antiviral response. Genes that were continuously upregulated were primarily involved in nucleic acid replication and protein synthesis, reflecting a gradual host cell reprogramming to support viral replication. Taken together, these findings reveal a temporal shift in BTG cells from an initial burst of immune activity to immune suppression, accompanied by enhanced viral replication. The BTG cell line thus represents a valuable in vitro model for dissecting ISKNV–host interactions and offers new perspectives on the molecular strategies employed by megalocytiviruses in B. taipingensis.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Osmoregulation and Low-Salt Adaptation in the Brain and Gills of Eleutheronema tetradactylum - Weibin Liu; Zongfa Chen; Jingheng Lu; Baogui Tang; Hui Zhou; Bei Wang; Jiansheng Huang; Jing Li; Zhongliang Wang (Fishes, 2026)
The molecular coordination between the central nervous system and peripheral organs is fundamental to euryhalinity. This study elucidates the distinct adaptive strategies of the brain and gills in the four-finger threadfin (Eleutheronema tetradactylum), an aquaculture species of growing importance, during long-term (30-day) acclimation to low salinity (5 versus 25 control). A profound dichotomy in tissue-specific plasticity was uncovered: while the brain maintained remarkable transcriptional stability with only 10 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), the gills underwent extensive remodeling with 702 DEGs. Gill DEGs were functionally enriched in ion transport and metabolic remodeling, highlighted by the significant upregulation of the Na+-Cl− cotransporter (slc12a10) and the prolactin receptor (prlr), coupled with a profound downregulation (log2FC = −5.97) of aquaporin-1 (aqp1). This indicates a concerted strategy to enhance ion uptake while minimizing water permeability. In contrast, the brain’s subtle response was dominated by the upregulation of key neuroendocrine hormones, including growth hormone (gh), prolactin (prl), and pro-opiomelanocortin (pomc). This suggests a top-down regulatory cascade. Integrative pathway analysis identified the PI3K-Akt and JAK-STAT signaling pathways as the primary conduits linking central hormonal signals to peripheral physiological adjustments. These results demonstrate that the euryhalinity of E. tetradactylum is achieved through a highly efficient strategy: a transcriptionally stable brain provides precise endocrine commands that orchestrate robust peripheral remodeling in the gills. This study deciphers the molecular basis of the brain–gill axis in osmoregulation and provides a rich repository of candidate genes for the genetic improvement of low salinity tolerance in aquaculture.

A Lepidoptera Synthesis Phylogeny of 11,001 Species and Its Application in Phylogenetic Profiling of Herbivore DNA Barcodes: Towards an Integrative Phylogenetic Framework for Insects - Douglas Chesters; Ming‐Qiang Wang; Perttu Anttonen; Jing‐Ting Chen; Rui Cheng; Yi Li; Arong Luo; Michael C. Orr; Tingting Xie; Qingsong Zhou; Chao‐Dong Zhu (Zoologica Scripta, 2026)
We herein constructed a phylogeny of Lepidoptera synthesizing multiple information types, a phylogenomics backbone, a multigene supermatrix with species‐comprehensive DNA barcodes, and topological information from a compiled database of standardized machine‐readable trees from over 100 previous studies. We then applied the new phylogenetic synthesis as a profiling framework for a large DNA barcode dataset of caterpillars from a tree diversity experiment. The synthesis phylogeny comprised 11,001 species. Phylogenetic information content was taxonomically skewed towards butterflies (i.e., Nymphalidae, Papilionidae and Pieridae), and parts of Macroheterocera (Geometridae, Sphingidae, Saturniidae and Bombycidae), while undersampling of Lepidoptera species diversity was present in Erebidae, Noctuidae, Gelechioidea and Pyraloidea. Caterpillar Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) increased with tree richness in the diversity experiment regardless of processing choices in calculating caterpillar PD, including whether calculated on plot OTU alone, plot OTU placed onto a simple reference phylogeny or plot OTU placed to the comprehensive reference phylogeny. Stronger correlations between tree diversity and uncorrected Faith's PD of caterpillars were observed where OTU were placed onto the full reference tree, and where long branch OTU were removed prior to PD calculation, though no significant differences in the strength of the tree diversity effect across context and processing choice were observed for standardized PD. In calculation of plot‐level PD, focus should remain on community sample size, with the results herein supporting the use of any available reference phylogeny as context, though correspondence of PD indices to environmental gradients might be stronger where plot OTU can be placed to a comprehensive reference phylogeny. The phylogeny presented herein enables inference of varied evolutionary information for Lepidoptera DNA barcode sets.

Elevation‐Dependence of Different Precipitation Phases Concentrations in the Asian Water Tower: Differences in Rainfall and Snowfall Concentration Changes - Yuanlong Tang; Xuemei Li; Tao Che; Dongyang Zhang; Guigang Wang; Huane Duan; Yue Zhang; Chen Yao; Xiaoxiao Jiang; Guojin Pang (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
Precipitation concentration is a key indicator for characterising spatio‐temporal heterogeneity of precipitation and assessing hydrological responses to climate change. Nevertheless, most existing studies have concentrated on total precipitation, neglecting how different precipitation phases (rainfall and snowfall) exhibit distinct concentration patterns and sensitivities to climatic forcing. This omission has limited understanding of hydro‐climatic processes in high‐altitude regions, where shift of precipitation from solid to liquid (SPSL) strongly modulates water resources and extreme events. Addressing this gap is challenging in the Asian Water Tower (AWT), given extreme topographic complexity, sparse observations, and strong influence of multiple circulation systems. Using ERA5‐Land reanalysis data at approximately 10 km (0.1°) spatial resolution (1980–2023), combined with a validated precipitation phase discrimination method, we investigate phase‐specific precipitation concentration indicators across the AWT. This study provides one of the first region‐wide, phase‐resolved assessments of precipitation concentration in the AWT by jointly quantifying rainfall and snowfall. It further examines their contrasting elevation‐dependent behaviours, extending previous work that focused solely on total precipitation concentration. Rainfall was strongly clustered in summer and exhibited relatively stable trends, whereas snowfall peaked in late winter–spring. Notably, snowfall concentration diverged by elevation, with increasing concentration at lower elevations but decreasing concentration at higher elevations, highlighting phase‐specific sensitivity to warming. Modulation of precipitation concentration by large‐scale circulations was evident. Indices such as ENSO and Indian Summer Monsoon Index (ISMI) significantly influenced seasonal concentration. El Niño conditions were associated with more temporally dispersed rainfall, whereas La Niña conditions enhanced clustering in southern AWT. In contrast, snowfall concentration index (SCI) was positively influenced by cold‐air outbreaks linked to Siberian High and mid‐latitude westerlies. By explicitly contrasting rainfall and snowfall concentration, this study advances beyond previous total‐precipitation analyses and demonstrates a new pathway to identify hydrological instability in alpine regions. Findings advance understanding of precipitation phase dynamics in high‐altitude regions and offer implications for disaster early warning, seasonal water allocation, and climate‐resilient reservoir management in snow‐dominated basins.

Effects of Temperature on Artificial Breeding and Early Development of Osteochilus salsburyi - Yang Yang; Yutian Gong; Guoliang Li; Qi Su; Shifeng Guan; Haitao Zheng; Lin Xu; Feng Chen; Xuan Zhao; Zhiming Zhang (Fishes, 2026)
To determine the optimal water temperature range for artificial breeding and early development of Osteochilus salsburyi, six water temperature gradients (14, 18, 22, 26, 30, and 34 °C) were set to systematically investigate the effects of water temperature on artificial reproduction efficiency, embryonic development, the morphology of newly hatched larvae, larval growth performance, and the timing of organ development in O. salsburyi. The results showed that the spawning induction rate of O. salsburyi reached 100% at 14–30 °C. The fertilization rate and hatching rate peaked at 18–22 °C, and no fertilization was completed at 34 °C. The malformation rates of embryos and larvae showed a U-shaped change, with the lowest malformation rate at 18 °C, and the teratogenic effect of high-temperature stress was more significant. The embryonic development rate was significantly negatively correlated with water temperature, and the development duration was significantly shortened with increasing water temperature. Embryonic development was arrested and all embryos died at 34 °C, while hatching could be completed at 14 °C but with an excessively long cycle. The morphological indicators of newly hatched larvae showed differentiated sensitivity to water temperature; total length, pre-anal length, and body height were highly sensitive indicators, and larvae exhibited balanced and robust morphological development at 18–22 °C. The larval survival rate first increased and then decreased with increasing water temperature, reaching the highest rate at 22–26 °C. The absolute growth increment, relative growth increment, and specific growth rate (SGR) continued to increase with increasing water temperature. The timing of larval organ differentiation and behavioral development was significantly advanced with increasing water temperature. Late organ development of larvae was blocked at 14 °C, only early development was completed at 34°C, and the internal and external organs of larvae developed completely and in an orderly manner at 18–30 °C. In summary, the optimal water temperature for artificial breeding and early development of O. salsburyi is 18–26 °C, among which 18–22 °C is the best for artificial reproduction and 22–26 °C is optimal for larval rearing. The results can provide a scientific basis for the precise regulation of water temperature in large-scale seedling production of O. salsburyi.

Dose-Dependent Responses of Tissue Integrity, Immune Homeostasis, and Gut Microbiota in Golden Pompano Trachinotus ovatus (Linnaeus 1758) Following Cryptocaryon irritans Infection - Jingbo Hu; Zhenjun Zhuang; Nanxiong Chen; Jiaojiao Jin; Zijie Wu; Yongkui Liu; Qi Ju; Sedong Li (Fishes, 2026)
Cryptocaryon irritans, a ciliated protozoan parasite, is the causative agent of marine white spot disease and results in significant economic losses in mariculture. In this study, golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) were challenged with C. irritans at different infection doses (2000, 4000, and 8000 theronts per fish) for 48 h to evaluate histopathological, oxidative stress, immune, and intestinal microbiota responses. Histopathological analysis revealed pronounced tissue damage in the gills, skin, intestine, and liver, with severity positively correlated with infection intensity. Typical lesions included intestinal mucosal damage, hepatic vacuolation, gill epithelial hyperplasia, and skin epidermal thickening. Hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased significantly with infection intensity, while superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) showed non-linear activation patterns. Catalase (CAT), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and acid phosphatase (ACP) activities were consistently suppressed. Immune-related gene expression exhibited tissue-specific regulation, with myd88 downregulated in gills but upregulated in skin, while pro-inflammatory cytokines (il-1β and il-8) and il-10 were significantly elevated. Infection also altered intestinal microbiota composition, reducing beneficial bacteria (e.g., Photobacterium) and increasing opportunistic pathogens such as Vibrio. These findings provide insights into host–parasite–microbiota interactions in T. ovatus and improve our understanding of the physiological and immune responses of fish to C. irritans infection.

Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Dissolved Oxygen Saturation and Chlorophyll a Concentration in the Central Arabian Sea Based on the 2024 Cruise Observations - Xiumei Fan; Lingzhi Li; Yongchuang Shi; Hanfeng Zheng; Wei Chen; Ziniu Li; Chao Li; Zhi Zhu; Cuihua Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
The Arabian Sea is a key region for global marine biogeochemical research, yet the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll a concentration in its central oxygen minimum zone still require further in-depth investigation. Based on survey data and reanalysis data from 2024, this paper analyzes the distribution characteristics and underlying causes of chlorophyll a concentration and dissolved oxygen using empirical orthogonal function (EOF) decomposition of chlorophyll a concentration and dissolved oxygen saturation along the depth direction, combined with the distribution of the barrier layer, Ekman pumping induced by wind fields, and the diagnostic vertical velocity distribution calculated from ADCP-observed flow velocities. Taking approximately 10° N as the boundary, the chlorophyll a concentration in the layer shallower than 35 m exhibits a distribution pattern of high in the northwest and low in the southeast, while the water layer between 45 m and 95 m shows a pattern of low in the northwest and high in the southeast. A thick barrier layer exists in the southeastern region, whereas the barrier layer in the northwestern region is thinner or absent, resulting in lower surface chlorophyll a concentration in the southeast. ADCP observations indicate that horizontal flow velocities are higher in the south, bringing oxygen-rich water from the south, which leads to higher dissolved oxygen saturation in the southern region compared to the northern region in water shallower than 45 m. At the 65 m water layer, the higher chlorophyll a concentration in the south may result in relatively low dissolved oxygen. The hypoxic zone (dissolved oxygen saturation less than 30%) begins to appear at depths below 105 m, with its southern boundary located between 9° N and 11° N, and this boundary gradually shifts northward as depth increases. The diagnostic vertical velocity between 9° N and 11° N is higher than that in other regions, which may hinder the northward movement of oxygen-rich water from the south. In the southern region, influenced by wind stress, the vertical water movement induced by Ekman pumping is relatively significant, which may lead to a slight increase in dissolved oxygen saturation in water layers with a depth below 125 m.
