Microbial respiratory thermal adaptation is regulated by r‐/K‐strategy dominance - Hongyang Chen; Qingfang Jing; Xiang Liu; Xuhui Zhou; Changming Fang; Bo Li; Shurong Zhou; Ming Nie (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Microbial thermal adaptation is considered to be one of the core mechanisms affecting soil carbon cycling. However, the role of microbial community composition in controlling thermal adaptation is poorly understood. Using microbial communities from the rhizosphere and bulk soils in an 8‐year warming experiment as a model, we experimentally demonstrate that respiratory thermal adaptation was much stronger in microbial K ‐strategist‐dominated bulk soils than in microbial r ‐strategist‐dominated rhizosphere soils. Soil carbon availability exerted strong selection on the dominant ecological strategy of the microbial community, indirectly influencing respiratory thermal adaptation. Our findings shed light on the linchpin of the dominant ecological strategy exhibited by the microbial community in determining its respiratory thermal adaptation, with implications for understanding soil carbon losses under warming.

Sexual size dimorphism in golden pompano (Trachinotus blochii): Potential roles of changes in energy allocation and differences in muscle metabolism - Jun Long Sun; Fei Biao Song; Lei Wang; Wei Wei Zhang; You Ming Chen; Li Zhou; Jian Fang Gui; Jian Luo (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Golden pompano ( Trachinotus blochii ) is becoming increasingly popular and produces high yields, but the growth differences between males and females are a concern. In this study, the differences between the growth of males and females were compared, and the transcriptome analysis of muscle tissues was performed. A significant difference between the growth of males and females was observed; females were found to be 17% larger than males after reaching 7 months of age. Gonadal histological analysis revealed that the ovaries were arrested in 7- to 9-month-old golden pompano, whereas the testes continued to develop. The AMPK and adipocytokine signaling pathways were also found to be involved in the regulation of muscle growth and metabolism. After reaching 7 months of age, the expression levels of glut1 , glut4 , ldh , gys, acsl and cpt2 in the muscle of females were lower than those in males, but the hk gene, which is involved in glycolysis, was found to remain highly expressed in females. Additionally, in females, the synthesis of arginine and ornithine and the production of carnosine were found to be inhibited, but the breakdown of glutamine was found to be enhanced and OXPHOS ability was found to be stronger in females after reaching 7 months of age. These results support a certain negative correlation between gonadal development and muscle metabolism depending on differences in energy distribution. Clearly, the faster growth in females after reaching 7 months of age was found to be associated with the more active metabolism of glucose, and amino acids, as well as stronger oxidative phosphorylation levels.

Hypofunction of directed brain network within alpha frequency band in depressive patients: a graph-theoretic analysis - Shuang Liu; Sitong Chen; Zhenni Huang; Xiaoya Liu; Meijuan Li; Fangyue Su; Xinyu Hao; Dong Ming (Cognitive Neurodynamics, 2022)
Directed brain networks may provide new insights into exploring physiological mechanism and neuromarkers for depression. This study aims to investigate the abnormalities of directed brain networks in depressive patients. We constructed the directed brain network based on resting electroencephalogram for 19 depressive patients and 20 healthy controls with eyes closed and eyes open. The weighted directed brain connectivity was measured by partial directed coherence for α, β, γ frequency band. Furthermore, topological parameters (clustering coefficient, characteristic path length, and et al.) were computed based on graph theory. The correlation between network metrics and clinical symptom was also examined. Depressive patients had a significantly weaker value of partial directed coherence at alpha frequency band in eyes-closed state. Clustering coefficient and characteristic path length were significantly lower in depressive patients (both p < .01). More importantly, in depressive patients, disruption of directed connectivity was noted in left-to-left ( p < .05), right-to-left ( p < .01) hemispheres and frontal-to-central ( p < .01), parietal-to-central ( p < .05), occipital-to-central ( p < .05) regions. Furthermore, connectivity in LL and RL hemispheres was negatively correlated with depression scale scores (both p < .05). Depressive patients showed a more randomized network structure, disturbed directed interaction of left-to-left, right-to-left hemispheric information and between different cerebral regions. Specifically, left-to-left, right-to-left hemispheric connectivity was negatively correlated with the severity of depression. Our analysis may serve as a potential neuromarker of depression.

The impact of coastal upwelling on coral reef ecosystem under anthropogenic influence: Coral reef community and its response to environmental factors - Wentao Zhu; Yuxiao Ren; Xiangbo Liu; Duanjie Huang; Jingquan Xia; Ming Zhu; Hongyang Yin; Rouwen Chen; Xiubao Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Mass coral bleaching is a severe threat to coral reefs in the era of global warming, and upwelling areas may serve as thermal refugia for coral reefs by mitigating the effects of heating anomalies. This study seeks to examine the impact of the Qiongdong upwelling (QDU) on the coastal coral reefs of the Hainan Island. The environmental variables (i.e., physiochemical parameters, coastal land use) differed significantly in upwelling and non-upwelling areas. In particular, the presence of colder and more saline water was the important indicator of coastal upwelling. In the QDU, turf algae and macroalgae dominated the algae communities, but habitat-specific environment and coastal development contributed to lower calcified algae, coral larvae replenishment and live corals cover. Lower abundance of coral reefs fishes could be attributed to the disappearance of live corals, increase of algae coverage, low habitat complexity and strong wave exposure at upwelling stations. Upwelling-related environmental parameters, wave exposure, land use and potential local stressors were revealed as major driving factors related to significant spatial changes in stony coral and fish communities. Overall, the present findings suggest that the Qiongdong upwelling has the potential to provide thermal refuge for coral reefs, but is severely affected by local anthropogenic activities.

Changes in amino acid and fatty acid composition during early development in cobia (Rachycentron canadum) - Jian-sheng Huang; Rong-xin Li; Rui-tao Xie; You-ming Chen; Jian-dong Zhang; Eric Amenyogbe; Gang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
An estimation of the utilization of endogenous nutrients from the yolk sac that occurs during embryonic and early larval development can be a valuable approach to studying the nutritional requirements of fish larvae. In this study, fertilized eggs, embryos (before the membrane, 24 hours after fertilization), newly-hatched larvae (0-d-old), and open-mouthed larvae (3-day-old, unfed rotifers) samples of cobia ( Rachycentron canadum ) were collected to determine the amino acid and fatty acid profiles. Crude protein composition varies significantly for cobia during the different stages of development. The total amino acids, except for lysine(Lys), histidine (His), methionine(Met), serine(Ser), and glycine(Gly), had no significant change in the early development stage ( P > 0.05); the content of other six essential amino acids (EAA) and six non-essential amino acids (NEAA) was consistent with the changing trend of total essential amino acid. From hatching newly hatched larvae to open-mouthed larvae, except for Leu, Phe and Ser, decreased significantly ( P <0.05). From the utilization rate of FAA, the utilization rate of Lys and Leu was the highest (60.26%) and (52.21%) in the embryonic and endogenous nutritional stages, respectively. The water content of the open-mouthed larvae of cobia was significantly higher than that of the fertilized eggs, embryos, and newly hatched larvae ( P < 0.05). Three kinds of saturated fatty acids (SFA), five kinds of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and eight kinds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were detected in the dry samples of each developmental stage. Based on these results, juvenile cobia can thrive with a wide range of crude protein concentrations. Further refinement of commercial cobia production feeds would have beneficial consequences for economic and environmental concerns due to the positive impacts of optimizing the protein component as well as the ability to maintain the rapid growth rates. The results show that the larval development of cobia needs to consume large amounts of n3PUFA (especially DHA and EPA) to improve the larvae’s survival rate. Research methods will always have limitations when evaluating the relationship between early life nutrition interventions and well-being outcomes later in life. This study provides essential information regarding cobia larvae’s fatty acid requirements.

Multitrophic diversity and biotic associations influence subalpine forest ecosystem multifunctionality - Ya‐Huang Luo; Marc W. Cadotte; Jie Liu; Kevin S. Burgess; Shao‐Lin Tan; Lin‐Jiang Ye; Jia‐Yun Zou; Zhong‐Zheng Chen; Xue‐Long Jiang; Juan Li; Kun Xu; De‐Zhu Li; et al. (Ecology, 2022)
Biodiversity across multiple trophic levels is required to maintain multiple ecosystem functions. Yet it remains unclear how multitrophic diversity and species interactions regulate ecosystem multifunctionality. Here, combining data from 9 different trophic groups (including trees, shrubs, herbs, leaf mites, small mammals, bacteria, pathogenic fungi, saprophytic fungi, and symbiotic fungi) and 13 ecosystem functions related to supporting, provisioning, and regulating services, we used a multitrophic perspective to evaluate the effects of elevation, diversity, and network complexity on scale‐dependent subalpine forest multifunctionality. Our results demonstrated that elevation and soil pH significantly modified species composition and richness across multitrophic groups and influenced multiple functions simultaneously. We present evidence that species richness across multiple trophic groups had stronger effects on multifunctionality than species richness at any single trophic level. Moreover, biotic associations, indicating the complexity of trophic networks, were positively associated with multifunctionality. The relative effects of diversity on multifunctionality increased at the scale of the larger community compared to a scale accounting for neighboring interactions. Our results highlight the paramount importance of scale‐ and context‐dependent multitrophic diversity and interactions for a better understanding of mountain ecosystem multifunctionality in a changing world.

Long-term changes in zooplankton in the Changjiang estuary from the 1960s to 2020 - Ping Du; Wen-Jian Ye; Bang-Ping Deng; Ming Mao; Yuan-Li Zhu; Fang-Ping Cheng; Zhi-Bing Jiang; Lu Shou; Quan-Zhen Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The Changjiang estuary (CJE) is a large estuary that is affected by multiple anthropogenic stressors and climate change. The long-term trend of zooplankton in the CJE is an important indicator of the ecological response to stressors. We applied the Mann–Kendall trend analysis and Pettitt test to detect the trend and breakpoints of the biomass of the large mesozooplankton (LMZ; 505–20 000 μm) in four seasons, abundance of main LMZ taxa in summer from the 1960s to 2020, and abundance of dominant species in summer from 2000 to 2020 in the CJE. Results showed that LMZ biomass increased significantly during spring and summer, and the breakpoints both occurred in the 1980s. After the breakpoint, the mean biomass increased from 142.88 to 429.42 mg/m 3 in spring and from 296.28 to 723.92 mg/m 3 in summer. After 2000, the abundance of Copepoda in summer increased by more than 10 times compared to the 1960s. Under the conditions of warming and increased dinoflagellate abundance in the CJE, the abundance of the warm-water and omnivorous small calanoid copepod Paracalanus aculeatus increased significantly. Meanwhile, the significant decrease in the abundance of the temperate brackish species Labidocera euchaeta was probably mainly related to warming. The rapid changes in LMZ biomass during the late 1980s and mid-1990s is probably the result of a combination of enhanced bottom–up support, reduced top–down pressure, and promotion of temperature. This study provides scientific evidence and insights into the adaptive management of the Changjiang Basin.

Diversity and Structure of Demersal Fish Community Over the Northern Slope in the South China Sea - Jun Zhang; Kui Zhang; Yan-e Jiang; Yuan-jie Li; Jiang-tao Fan; Wen-ming Yu; Zuo-zhi Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Three bottom trawl surveys over the northern continental slope in the South China Sea (18°50′–20°40′N, 112°50′–115°10′E) were carried out, in June 2015, March 2017 and September 2018, to investigate species composition, biodiversity and community structure of demersal fish. Surveys in 2015, 2017 and 2018 captured 97 fish species (representing 77 genera, 52 families, 26 orders), 108 fish species (representing 84 genera, 61 families, 19 orders) and 126 fish species (representing 105 genera, 74 families, 25 orders), respectively. Three surveys captured a total of 252 fish species, representing 164 genera, 97 families, 30 orders. Perciformes dominated. Species richness in station linking shallow continental shelf with deep slope was the lowest among stations. In three surveys, 16 species occurred in the catches of three surveys, accounting for 6.35% of all species. Species replacement rate between stations showed a significant linear relationship with the depth difference and latitude difference. Margalef’s species richness index ( D ), Shannon–Weiner diversity index ( H’ ) and Pielou’s evenness index ( J’ ) among stations ranged 2.65–6.74, 1.02–4.15 and 0.28–1.14, respectively. Differences of D , H ’ and J ’ were insignificant among seasons. There were significant positive linear relations between H’ and J’ and latitude. D , H’ and J’ decreased with increasing sampling depth, however the relations were not significant. Based on multivariate statistical analysis, fish community at species level was divided into five groups with average dissimilarities of 95.69%–99.96%. In terms of genus and family, average dissimilarities among groups were more than 88.11% and 82.69%. There were significant differences in species composition between depths, but no significant differences between seasons and temperatures, as well as in genus and family composition.

Otolith Marking With Strontium for Stock Assessment in Coilia nasus - Ming-Zhi Liu; Ri-jin Jiang; Hui Zhang; Fan Yang; Xia-Fang Li; Guang-Peng Feng; Rui Yin; Feng Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Mass stock enhancement and release are excellent ways to recover Coilia nasus resources. However, it is challenging to evaluate stock enhancement effectively, and it is important to establish a method suitable for estimating C. nasus populations. We explored the effectiveness of marking otoliths in these fish with strontium by immersing C. nasus in hexahydrate strontium chloride solutions. We used laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to measure the strontium content of otoliths and fish bodies. The larvae (40 d post hatch) were reared in five different concentrations of strontium (0, 12, 24, 48, and 60 mg/L) for 7 d, followed by treatment in non-additive water for 3 wk. The results showed that the cumulative mortality rate was not significantly different between treatment and control groups ( P >0.05), except in the group treated with 24 mg/L strontium. The swimming and feeding behaviors did not change significantly, indicating that strontium did not negatively affect survival in this species. The strontium/calcium ratios of otoliths in the control group were stable (1.78–2.32 mmol/mol), whereas those of the experimental (marked) groups ranged widely (4.47–61.02 mmol/mol). The strontium/calcium ratios increased with increasing strontium concentration, but gradually returned to baseline values, resulting in a 100% success rate of marking with strontium. Following immersion in 12 mg/L strontium, strontium levels in the body returned to normal after 24 d. In summary, a treatment of 12 mg/L strontium for 4 d was identified as viable for marking. We confirmed the feasibility of strontium marking for the mass marking and release of C. nasus . This marking method does not affect the physiology of the fish and may provide a new approach for reasonable and scientific stock assessment of C. nasus post hatch.

Numerical evaluation of face masks for prevention of COVID-19 airborne transmission - Jiaxing Liu; Ming Hao; Shulei Chen; Yang Yang; Jian Li; Qi Mei; Xin Bian; Kun Liu (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments around the globe to apply various preventive measures for public health. One of the most effective measures is wearing face masks, which plays a vital role in blocking the transmission of droplets and aerosols. To understand the protective mechanism of face masks, especially in indoor environments, we apply a computational fluid dynamics technique to predict the lifetime of cough droplets. Therefore, we can assess the exposure risk in a ventilated room where an infected individual wears a face mask or not. We focus on the dynamic evaporation and diffusion of droplets in a human-cough process, which is a major cause for the spread of the virus. We find that wearing a face mask can effectively reduce the total mass and Sauter mean diameter of the residual droplets after a single cough. The mass concentration of virus-carrying droplets in the ventilated room decreases by 201, 43,786, and 307,060 times, corresponding to wearing cotton face masks, surgical face masks, and N95 face masks, respectively. However, the maximum travel distance of 80% droplets is insensitive to wearing a face mask or not. Therefore, the residual droplets are widely distributed due to the influence of indoor airflow. Furthermore, we study aerosol exposure risks in different areas of the room and find that high concentrations of aerosols occur in the streamline through an infected individual, especially next to the individual within 1.5 m. This strongly suggests a social distance despite the fact that the majority of droplets are filtered by face masks. This study explains the impact of face masks and airflow on indoor exposure risks and further inspires potential measures for public health, for example, no individuals should sit near the air supply opening.

The Effects of Ground and Treadmill Running on Energy Metabolism and Muscle Contractile Properties: A Randomized Cross-Over Study - Yuan Zhou; Jian-gang Chen; Xiao-long Li; Xin-liang Pan; Yi-zheng Zhou; Zheng-ao Li; Zhi-cheng Liang; Jia-min Long; Ming-ze Qin; Jing Zhang; Bing Shi; Bing-jun Wan; et al. (Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise, 2022)
Purpose This study aimed to compare the effects of ground and treadmill running on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties, providing a basis for the general public to choose running venues. Methods Ten male college students (age, 20.10 ± 1.53 years; height, 176.20 ± 5.49 cm; weight, 72.14 ± 8.25 kg; body fat percent, 12.41% ± 4.65%) were recruited in this study. Energy expenditure (EE) was measured using the accelerometer (GT9X) combined with specific estimation equations. Average heart rate (HR) was measured using a heart rate band (Polar). Muscle contractile properties were assessed by measuring muscle displacement (Dm) and contraction velocity (Vc) using tensiomyography (TMG-S1). Blood glucose (Glu) and lactate (Lac) were measured by portable devices (eB-G and Lactate Scout). The running speed was 9 km/h and the duration was 25 min. Two-way ANOVA (protocol × time) was used to analyze the effect of running protocols on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties. Results EE of treadmill running was significantly higher than EE of ground running (protocol main effect, P < 0.001), and HR of treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running in the first testing time (protocol simple effect, P = 0.026; protocol × time interaction P = 0.043). The decrease in Dm of the rectus femoris after treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running (protocol main effect, P = 0.009). The interaction of different running protocols and testing times on Lac was significant ( P = 0.025), but all results of the simple effects analysis were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Our study found a difference in energy expenditure between treadmill and ground running at 9 km/h with duration of 25 min. In addition, treadmills are more likely to cause a decrease in muscle displacement distance of the rectus femoris measured after exercise than ground running. Future studies are needed to further investigate whether the differences are induced by internal metabolism or the environmental conditions of running.

Global crustacean stock assessment modelling: Reconciling available data and complexity - Cameron T. Hodgdon; Noah S. Khalsa; Yunzhou Li; Ming Sun; Robert Boenish; Yong Chen (Fish and Fisheries, 2022)
Despite their growing socio‐economic importance globally, relatively little is understood about how crustacean stocks are assessed, which has potential to compromise fishery sustainability, especially under heavy exploitation and environmental changes. To inform stock assessment model application for emergent fisheries, we evaluated model use for crustacean stocks available in the RAM Legacy Database (RAMLDB) and the evolution of model use for four case‐study fisheries, emphasizing the relationship between data availability and model complexity. Differences in model use between FAO fishing regions and crustacean species sub‐groups were identified. Only 60.9% of crustacean stocks in the RAMLDB identified the model used for assessment. For the remaining stocks, we collected ancillary data to fill the information gaps, amounting to 92.5% of crustacean stocks in RAMLDB. Of these, model complexity varied from count‐based to environmentally explicit statistical catch‐at‐length methods, but tended to be data intensive, likely due to biases towards regions with more developed fishery management programmes. Furthermore, regional comparisons indicated that crustaceans are only well‐assessed in a few geographical hotspots. The progression of model use over time was inconsistent between case‐study fisheries, being driven by myriad factors including data availability, confidence in biological processes and ecological considerations. Our findings can be used as a resource to help inform model choice for fisheries management. Towards the goal of seeking global best practices for crustacean stock assessments, future work should address knowledge gaps in regional stock assessment model use and conduct comparative studies to evaluate stock‐specific costs and benefits relating to model complexity.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex Mediates Hyperalgesia and Anxiety Induced by Chronic Pancreatitis in Rats - Dan Ren; Jia-Ni Li; Xin-Tong Qiu; Fa-Ping Wan; Zhen-Yu Wu; Bo-Yuan Fan; Ming-Ming Zhang; Tao Chen; Hui Li; Yang Bai; Yun-Qing Li (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Central sensitization is essential in maintaining chronic pain induced by chronic pancreatitis (CP), but cortical modulation of painful CP remains elusive. Here, we examined the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in the pathogenesis of abdominal hyperalgesia in a rat model of CP induced by intraductal administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). TNBS treatment resulted in long-term abdominal hyperalgesia and anxiety in rats. Morphological data indicated that painful CP induced a significant increase in FOS-expressing neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and ACC, and some FOS-expressing neurons in the NTS projected to the ACC. In addition, a larger portion of ascending fibers from the NTS innervated pyramidal neurons, the neural subpopulation primarily expressing FOS under the condition of painful CP, rather than GABAergic neurons within the ACC. CP rats showed increased expression of vesicular glutamate transporter 1, and increased membrane trafficking and phosphorylation of the N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunit NR2B and the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subunit GluR1 within the ACC. Microinjection of NMDAR and AMPAR antagonists into the ACC to block excitatory synaptic transmission significantly attenuated abdominal hyperalgesia in CP rats, which was similar to the analgesic effect of endomorphins injected into the ACC. Specifically inhibiting the excitability of ACC pyramidal cells via chemogenetics reduced both hyperalgesia and comorbid anxiety, whereas activating these neurons via optogenetics failed to aggravate hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats. Taken together, these findings provide neurocircuit, biochemical, and behavioral evidence for involvement of the ACC in hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats, as well as novel insights into the cortical modulation of painful CP, and highlights the ACC as a potential target for neuromodulatory interventions in the treatment of painful CP.

Redefine Sustainable Fisheries Targets Under the Impact of the Southern Yellow Sea Green Tide: Mitigating the Recurring Surge in Natural Mortality - Ming Sun; Yunzhou Li; Yiping Ren; Yong Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The massive green tide blooms caused by macroalgae Ulva in the Southern Yellow Sea, China, threaten the local fish populations. However, green tides are not factored into the determination of sustainable fisheries targets, which hinders the achievement of the maximum sustainable yield (MSY). Using a local fishery as a case study we highlighted the need to redefine the MSY-based targets in the face of green tides. We modeled the green tide blooms as natural mortality events and evaluated their effects on fisheries with the “green-tide-free” sustainable fishing intensity F MSY . We then recalculated these targets by accounting for the surges in natural mortality. We found that green tides caused at least 10% losses in biomass and catch when unaccounted for. Additionally, F MSY must be reduced by 4–8% to achieve MSY in the face of the green tide, which was approximately 20% lower than the “green-tide-free” value, indicating the damages of green tides could be partially mitigated.

Native herbivores indirectly facilitate the growth of invasive Spartina in a eutrophic saltmarsh - Xiao Xu; Yan Zhang; Songshuo Li; Hongyang Chen; Mu Liu; Bo Li; Ming Nie (Ecology, 2022)
Current theory (e.g., consumer‐controlled theory) predicts that nutrient enrichment typically amplifies herbivory and thereby suppresses the growth and expansion of invasive plants. Herbivores can facilitate plant regrowth in the native community by stimulating complementary growth or ameliorating habitat conditions (e.g., by increasing soil oxygen and nutrient availability), but whether they have similar positive effects on invasive plants, especially under nutrient enrichment, remains unknown. Using a field nitrogen (N)‐enrichment × crab exclusion experiment, we evaluated and compared the effects of both N enrichment and crab herbivory on the growth performance of a global invasive cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora , and a co‐occurring native plant, Phragmites australis . We found that crabs consistently suppressed P. australis by density and aboveground biomass regardless of N enrichment. In contrast, for S. alterniflora , the negative effects of crabs under ambient N were replaced by positive effects under N enrichment, with crabs stimulating complementary increases in density and aboveground biomass. The differing effects between the N treatments were driven by crab burrowing activity, which increased soil N availability, and the nutrient‐use efficiency of S. alterniflora . Our findings revealed that native herbivores can have opposing effects on native and invasive plants, which broadens our understanding of how exotic plants can achieve dominance in a changing world.

Genetic Diversity and Structure of Tropical Porites lutea Populations Highlight Their High Adaptive Potential to Environmental Changes in the South China Sea - Yanqiu Luo; Wen Huang; Kefu Yu; Ming Li; Biao Chen; Xueyong Huang; Zhenjun Qin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Global climate change and anthropogenic disturbance have significantly degraded biodiversity in coral reef ecosystems. The genetic potential and adaptability of corals are key factors used to predict the fate of global coral reefs under climate change. In this study, we used eight microsatellite loci to study the patterns of reproduction, genetic diversity, and genetic structure of 302 Porites lutea samples across 13° latitudes in the South China Sea (8.8644°N–22.6117°N). The results indicated that P. lutea reproduces largely via sexual reproduction on scales of 5 m and greater and has abundant gene diversity. Additionally, the tropical populations harbored high genetic diversity (based on alleles, effective number of alleles, gene diversity, and heterozygosity). In contrast, genetic diversity was lower in subtropical coral populations. Genetic variation values and pairwise F ST revealed that tropical and subtropical populations had significantly different genetic structures. Finally, the Mantel tests showed that the genetic differentiation and genetic variation of P. lutea were strongly correlated with sea surface temperature and slightly correlated with geographical distance. These results indicated that tropical P. lutea populations have high genetic potential and adaptability because of their sexual reproduction and genetic diversity, giving them a greater capacity to cope with climate change. Subtropical coral populations showed lower genetic diversity and, thus, relatively poor genetic resilience in response to low average sea surface temperature and human activities. Our study provides a theoretical basis for the protection and restoration of coral reefs.

Optimization of immunization procedure for SWCNTs‐based subunit vaccine with mannose modification against spring viraemia of carp virus in common carp - Yu‐Ming Gong; Chen Zhang; Yang Li; Guo Chen; Gao‐Xue Wang; Bin Zhu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Immersion vaccination of single‐walled carbon nanotubes loaded with mannose‐modified glycoprotein (SWCNTs‐MG) vaccine has been proved to be effective in preventing spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV). Immunization procedure has immense consequence on the immune effect of the immersion vaccine. However, immunization procedure optimization for SWCNTs‐MG vaccine against SVCV has not been reported. In this study, accordingly, a full‐factor experiment was designed to optimize the immunization procedure of SWCNTs‐MG vaccine by three aspects of vaccine dose (30 mg/L, 40 mg/L and 50 mg/L), immunization density (8 fish L −1 , 24 fish L −1 and 48 fish L −1 ) and immunization time (6, 12 and 24 hr). Furthermore, we used the immunization group (A1B2C1, 30 mg/L, 24 fish L −1 and 6 hr) in the previous study as a positive control (PC) to evaluate the immunization effect optimized conditions from the expression of immune‐related genes and relative percentage survival (RPS). At 28 days post‐vaccination (DPV), common carps were intraperitoneal injected SVCV challenged test indicated that the A1B2C2 group (30 mg/L, 24 fish L −1 , 12 hr) displayed superiority of protective efficacy compare with other groups and the RPS with 77.9%, which was 15.6% higher than the PC group of RPS with 62.3%. Moreover, the expression of immune‐related genes such as IL‐10 , CD4 and MHC‐II was also significantly higher than PC group. The specific experimental flow chart is shown in Figure 1 . Conclusively, these results demonstrated that vaccine dose, immunization density and immunization time are 30 mg/L, 24 fish L −1 and 12 hr, which is the more appropriate immunization programme with juvenile carp for SWCNTs‐MG vaccine. This study provides a profitable reference for improving the immune efficiency of aquatic immersion vaccine. The experiment process and timeline chart of the present research image

Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of Blasting Pressure of Cylindrical Shells under Internal Explosive Loading - Zhan-Feng Chen; Hui-Jie Wang; Zhiqian Sang; Wen Wang; He Yang; Wei-Ming Meng; Yu-Xing Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Cylindrical shells are principal structural elements that are used for many purposes, such as offshore, sub-marine, and airborne structures. The nonlinear mechanics model of internal blast loading was established to predict the dynamic blast pressure of cylindrical shells. However, due to the complexity of the nonlinear mechanical model, the solution process is time-consuming. In this study, the nonlinear mechanics model of internal blast loading is linearized, and the dynamic blast pressure of cylindrical shells is solved. First, a mechanical model of cylindrical shells subjected to internal blast loading is proposed. To simplify the calculation, the internal blast loading is reduced to linearly uniform variations. Second, according to the stress function method, the dynamic blast pressure equation of cylindrical shells subjected to blast loading is derived. Third, the calculated results are compared with those of the finite element method (FEM) under different durations of dynamic pressure pulse. Finally, to reduce the errors, the dynamic blast pressure equation is further optimized. The results demonstrate that the optimized equation is in good agreement with the FEM, and is feasible to linearize the internal blast loading of cylindrical shells.

Supply‐controlled calcium carbonate dissolution decouples the seasonal dissolved oxygen and pH minima in Chesapeake Bay - Jianzhong Su; Wei‐Jun Cai; Jeremy M. Testa; Jean R. Brodeur; Baoshan Chen; K. Michael Scaboo; Ming Li; Chunqi Shen; Margaret Dolan; Yuan‐Yuan Xu; Yafeng Zhang; Najid Hussain (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Acidification can present a stress on organisms and habitats in estuaries in addition to hypoxia. Although oxygen and pH decreases are generally coupled due to aerobic respiration, pH dynamics may be more complex given the multiple modes of buffering in the carbonate system. We studied the seasonal cycle of dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and calcium ion (Ca 2+ ) along the main channel of Chesapeake Bay from May to October in 2016. Contrary to the expected co‐occurrence of seasonal DO and pH declines in subsurface water, we found that the pH decline ended in June while the DO decline continued until August in mid‐Chesapeake Bay. We discovered that aerobic respiration was strong from May to August, but carbonate dissolution was minor in May and June and became substantial in August, which buffered further pH declines and caused the seasonal DO and pH minima mismatch. The rate of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) dissolution was not primarily controlled by the saturation state in bottom water, but was instead likely controlled by the supply of CaCO 3 particles. The seasonal variability of Ca 2+ addition in the mid‐bay was connected to Ca 2+ removal in the upper bay, and the timing of high carbonate dissolution coincided with peak seasonal biomass of upper Bay submerged aquatic vegetation. This study suggests a mechanism for a novel decoupling of DO and pH in estuarine waters associated with CaCO 3 , but future studies are needed to fully investigate the seasonality of physical transport and cycling of CaCO 3 .

Cross‐phytogroup assessment of foliar epiphytic mycobiomes - Ting Zhu; Jia Yao; Hao Liu; Chen‐Hao Zhou; Yuan‐Zhan Liu; Zheng‐Wei Wang; Zhe‐Xue Quan; Bo Li; Ji Yang; Wei‐Chang Huang; Ming Nie (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary The foliar surface forms one of the largest aboveground habitats on Earth and maintains plant‐fungus relationships that greatly affect ecosystem functioning. Despite many studies with particular plant species, the foliar epiphytic mycobiome has not been studied across a large number of plant species from different taxa. Using high‐throughput sequencing, we assessed epiphytic mycobiomes on leaf surfaces of 592 plant species in a botanical garden. Plants of angiosperms, gymnosperms, and pteridophytes were involved. Plant taxonomy, leaf side, growing environment, and evolutionary relationships were considered. We found that pteridophytes showed the higher fungal species diversity, stronger mutualistic fungal interactions, and a greater percentage of putative pathogens than gymnosperms and angiosperms. Plant taxonomic group, leaf side, and growing environment were significantly associated with the foliar epiphytic mycobiome, but the similarity of the mycobiomes among plants was not directly related to the distance of the host evolutionary tree. Our results provide a general understanding of the foliar fungal mycobiomes from pteridophytes to angiosperms. These findings will facilitate our understanding of foliar fungal epiphytes and their roles in plant communities and ecosystems.

The developmental regulator PatD modulates assembly of the cell‐division protein FtsZ in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 - Li Wang; Tian‐Cai Niu; Ana Valladares; Gui‐Ming Lin; Ju‐Yuan Zhang; Antonia Herrero; Wen‐Li Chen; Cheng‐Cai Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary FtsZ is a tubulin‐like GTPase that polymerizes to initiate the process of cell division in bacteria. Heterocysts are terminally differentiated cells of filamentous cyanobacteria that have lost the capacity for cell division and in which the ftsZ gene is downregulated. However, mechanisms of FtsZ regulation during heterocyst differentiation have been scarcely investigated. The patD gene is NtcA dependent and involved in the optimization of heterocyst frequency in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120. Here, we report that the inactivation of patD caused the formation of multiple FtsZ‐rings in vegetative cells, cell enlargement, and the retention of peptidoglycan synthesis activity in heterocysts, whereas its ectopic expression resulted in aberrant FtsZ polymerization and cell division. PatD interacted with FtsZ, increased FtsZ precipitation in sedimentation assays, and promoted the formation of thick straight FtsZ bundles that differ from the toroidal aggregates formed by FtsZ alone. These results suggest that in the differentiating heterocysts, PatD interferes with the assembly of FtsZ. We propose that in Anabaena FtsZ is a bifunctional protein involved in both vegetative cell division and regulation of heterocyst differentiation. In the differentiating cells PatD‐FtsZ interactions appear to set an FtsZ activity that is insufficient for cell division but optimal to foster differentiation.

miR-34c inhibits PDGF-BB-induced HAVSMCs phenotypic transformation and proliferation via PDGFR-β/SIRT1 pathway - Wei-feng Wan; Xin Zhang; Chang-ren Huang; Li-gang Chen; Xiao-bo Yang; Kun-yang Bao; Tang-ming Peng (Molecular Biology Reports, 2021)
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of miR-34c on PDGF-BB-induced HAVSMCs phenotypic transformation and proliferation via PDGFR-β/SIRT1 pathway, so as to find a new method for early diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. HA-VSMCs were treated with platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) at 0 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h or 36 h to explore the optimal time for phenotypic transformation of VSMCs. And then, PDGF-BB-induced HA-VSMCs were transfected with miR-34c mimics/mimics NC and pcDNA3.1-PDGFR-β/pcDNA3.1-NC to observe cell biological behaviour. CCK8 was used to detect cell proliferation activity. Transwell chamber assay was used to detect cell invasion. Early apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of α-SMA and Smemb was detected by immunofluorescence staining. The expressions of PDGFR-β, IRF9, Acetyl-NF-κB/p65, Acetyl-p53 and CyclinD1 were analyzed by Western blot analysis. The expression of miR-34a, miR-34b and miR-34c was detected by RT-PCR, and the targeting relationship between miR-34c and PDGFR-β was detected by luciferase reporting assay. The results indicated the proliferation and migration of PDGF-BB-induced HA-VSMCs significantly increased, and apoptosis significantly decreased. Besides, α-SMA decreased significantly, while Smemb increased significantly. Furthermore, expressions of PDGFR-β, IRF9, Acetyl-NF-κB/p65, Acetyl-p53 and CyclinD1 increased significantly, and SIRT1 decreased significantly. Experimental results showed that, miR-34c mimics significantly inhibited cell proliferation and migration, and promoted cell apoptosis, and miR-34c inhibitor had the opposite effects. MiR-34c mimics significantly increased α-SMA expression and decreased Smemb expression, while the opposite effects were reflected after transfection with miR-34c inhibitor. Moreover, miR-34c mimics significantly decreased the expressions of PDGFR-β, IRF9, Acetyl-NF-κB/p65, Acetyl-p53 and CyclinD1, and significantly increased the expression of SIRT1, while miR-34c inhibitor had the opposite effects. Luciferase assay confirmed that PDGFR-β was a potential target of miR-34c. Subsequently, PDGF-BB-induced HA-VSMCs were co-transfected with miR-34c mimics and pcDNA3.1-PDGFR-β. The results indicated that PDGFR-β reversed the biological function of miR-34c mimic. The results revealed the potential application value of miR-34c as a marker molecule of phenotypic transformation, providing a potential target for improving phenotypic transformation.

TLR8 in the Trigeminal Ganglion Contributes to the Maintenance of Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain in Mice - Lin-Xia Zhao; Ming Jiang; Xue-Qiang Bai; De-Li Cao; Xiao-Bo Wu; Jing Zhang; Jian-Shuang Guo; Tong-Tong Chen; Juan Wang; Hao Wu; Yong-Jing Gao; Zhi-Jun Zhang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP) is a significant health problem but the involved mechanism has not been completely elucidated. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have recently been demonstrated to be expressed in the dorsal root ganglion and involved in chronic pain. Here, we show that TLR8 was persistently increased in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons in model of TNP induced by partial infraorbital nerve ligation (pIONL). In addition, deletion or knockdown of Tlr8 in the TG attenuated pIONL-induced mechanical allodynia, reduced the activation of ERK and p38-MAPK, and decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the TG. Furthermore, intra-TG injection of the TLR8 agonist VTX-2337 induced pain hypersensitivity. VTX-2337 also increased the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration, induced the activation of ERK and p38, and increased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the TG. These data indicate that TLR8 contributes to the maintenance of TNP through increasing MAPK-mediated neuroinflammation. Targeting TLR8 signaling may be effective for the treatment of TNP.

Simultaneous detection of multiple bacterial and viral aquatic pathogens using a fluorogenic loop‐mediated isothermal amplification‐based dual‐sample microfluidic chip - Qian‐Jin Zhou; Jian‐Fei Lu; Xiu‐Rong Su; Jing‐Lei Jin; Shang‐Yang Li; Yan Zhou; Lei Wang; Xin‐Bin Shao; Yao‐Hua Wang; Mao‐Cang Yan; Ming‐Yun Li; Jiong Chen (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Rapid and user‐friendly diagnostic tests are necessary for early diagnosis and immediate detection of diseases, particularly for on‐site screening of pathogenic microorganisms in aquaculture. In this study, we developed a dual‐sample microfluidic chip integrated with a real‐time fluorogenic loop‐mediated isothermal amplification assay (dual‐sample on‐chip LAMP) to simultaneously detect 10 pathogenic microorganisms, that is Aeromonas hydrophila , Edwardsiella tarda , Vibrio harveyi , V. alginolyticus , V. anguillarum , V. parahaemolyticus , V. vulnificus , infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus, infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus, and white spot syndrome virus. This on‐chip LAMP provided a nearly automated protocol that can analyse two samples simultaneously, and the tests achieved limits of detection (LOD) ranging from 10 0 to 10 –1 pg/μl for genomic DNA of tested bacteria and 10 –4 to 10 –5 pg/μl for recombinant plasmid DNA of tested viruses, with run times averaging less than 30 min. The coefficient of variation for the time‐to‐positive value was less than 10%, reflecting a robust reproducibility. The clinical sensitivity and specificity were 93.52% and 85.53%, respectively, compared to conventional microbiological or clinical methods. The on‐chip LAMP assay provides an effective dual‐sample and multiple pathogen analysis, and thus would be applicable to on‐site detection and routine monitoring of multiple pathogens in aquaculture.

GmNAC06, a NAC domain transcription factor enhances salt stress tolerance in soybean - Ming Li; Rui Chen; Qiyan Jiang; Xianjun Sun; Hui Zhang; Zheng Hu (Plant Molecular Biology, 2021)
Key message We found GmNAC06 plays an important role in salt stress responses through the phenotypic, physiological and molecular analyses of OE, VC, and Mutant composite soybean. Abstract Salinization affects 20% of all cultivated land worldwide because of the high salinity of irrigation water and the excessive use of water, and this amount is increasing daily. NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) have been found to be involved in salt stress. In this study, a soybean NAC gene, GmNAC06 (Glyma06g21020.1), was cloned and functionally characterized. The results of expression analysis suggested that salt stress could influence the expression level of GmNAC06 . The subcellular localization analysis results suggested that GmNAC06 may function as a transcription factor. Under salt stress, the overexpression technology combined with CRISPR-Cas9 system found that GmNAC06 could cause the accumulation of proline and glycine betaine to alleviate or avoid the negative effects of ROS; similarly, it could control the Na + /K + ratios in hairy roots to maintain ionic homeostasis. The fresh weight of the transgenic hairy roots and the histochemical ROS staining of wild leaves suggested that transgenic hairy roots influence the function of wild leaves under salt stress conditions. Moreover, the expression levels of GmUBC2 and GmHKT1 were higher in the GmNAC06 hairy roots than in the control. Thus, the overexpression of GmNAC06 in hairy roots notably causes an entire composite plant to exhibit salt tolerance. The phenotype of composite soybean plants and transgenic Arabidopsis plants suggest that GmNAC06 plays a role in response to salt stress and could be useful in generating salt tolerant transgenic crops.

Using fisheries‐independent survey data to reinforce China’s data‐limited fisheries management: Management strategy evaluation of survey‐based management procedures - Ming Sun; Yunzhou Li; Yiping Ren; Yong Chen (Fisheries Management and Ecology, 2021)
Fisheries‐independent survey data are vital to stock assessment and management because they provide reliable information on stock status. Although survey data have been increasingly recognised for their contributions to fisheries management, they have often not been adequately used to provide quantitative management recommendations for China's fisheries that are subject to limited data. In the present study, a framework was proposed to integrate two types of survey‐based management procedures (MPs) into China's fisheries management: the slope‐based MP and the target‐based MP. Specifically, the former generates fishing effort limits based on the trend in recent years’ abundance index, while the latter sets effort limits based on a static abundance index target. To test the performance of these MPs, management strategy evaluation was performed using a simulated fishery based on the small yellow croaker, Larimichthys polyactis (Bleeker) in Haizhou Bay, China. The sensitivity of MPs was investigated under different algorithm parameterisations and historical exploitation levels. Additionally, their robustness was evaluated in the face of survey uncertainty and changes in recruitment success. Both MPs could effectively improve the stock status compared with the status quo management when appropriately parameterised regardless of exploitation history. The target‐based MP was more robust to survey uncertainty than the slope‐based MP. Non‐stationary changes in recruitment success strongly impaired the management effects, while using recruitment‐specific instead of the age‐aggregated abundance index could slightly enhance their performance. This work indicates that survey‐based MPs can address the current challenges in China's fisheries management and reinforce the status quo management practice with limited data and highlights the potential risks.

This study conducts a comprehensive literature review of articles on the triple bottom line (TBL) published from January 1997 to September 2018 to provide significant insights and support to guide further discussion. There were three booms in TBL publications, occurring in 2003, 2011, and 2015, and many articles attempt to address the issue of sustainability by employing the TBL. This literature analysis includes 720, 132, and 58 articles from the Web of Science (WOS), Inspec, and Scopus databases, respectively, and reveals the gaps in existing research. To discover the barriers and points of overlap, these articles are categorized into six aspects of the TBL: economic, environmental, social, operations, technology, and engineering. Examining the top 3 journals in terms of published articles on each aspect reveals the research trends and gaps. The findings provide solid evidence confirming the argument that the TBL as currently defined is insufficient to cover the entire concept of sustainability. The social and engineering aspects still require more discussion to support the linkage of the TBL and to reinforce its theoretical basis. Additionally, to discover the gaps in the data sources, theories applied, methods adopted, and types of contributions, this article summarizes 82 highly cited articles covering each aspect. This article offers theoretical insights by identifying the top contributing countries, institutions, authors, keyword networks, and authorship networks to encourage scholars to push the current discussion further forward, and it provides practical insights to bridge the gap between theory and practice for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of improvements.
