Changes in rainfall amounts and patterns have been observed and are expected to continue in the near future with potentially significant ecological and societal consequences. Modelling vegetation responses to changes in rainfall is thus crucial to project water and carbon cycles in the future. In this study, we present the results of a new model‐data intercomparison project, where we tested the ability of 10 terrestrial biosphere models to reproduce the observed sensitivity of ecosystem productivity to rainfall changes at 10 sites across the globe, in nine of which, rainfall exclusion and/or irrigation experiments had been performed. The key results are as follows: (a) Inter‐model variation is generally large and model agreement varies with timescales. In severely water‐limited sites, models only agree on the interannual variability of evapotranspiration and to a smaller extent on gross primary productivity. In more mesic sites, model agreement for both water and carbon fluxes is typically higher on fine (daily–monthly) timescales and reduces on longer (seasonal–annual) scales. (b) Models on average overestimate the relationship between ecosystem productivity and mean rainfall amounts across sites (in space) and have a low capacity in reproducing the temporal (interannual) sensitivity of vegetation productivity to annual rainfall at a given site, even though observation uncertainty is comparable to inter‐model variability. (c) Most models reproduced the sign of the observed patterns in productivity changes in rainfall manipulation experiments but had a low capacity in reproducing the observed magnitude of productivity changes. Models better reproduced the observed productivity responses due to rainfall exclusion than addition. (d) All models attribute ecosystem productivity changes to the intensity of vegetation stress and peak leaf area, whereas the impact of the change in growing season length is negligible. The relative contribution of the peak leaf area and vegetation stress intensity was highly variable among models.

Predicting postmortem interval based on microbial community sequences and machine learning algorithms - Ruina Liu; Yuexi Gu; Mingwang Shen; Huan Li; Kai Zhang; Qi Wang; Xin Wei; Haohui Zhang; Di Wu; Kai Yu; Wumin Cai; Gongji Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Microbes play an essential role in the decomposition process but were poorly understood in their succession and behaviour. Previous researches have shown that microbes show predictable behaviour that starts at death and changes during the decomposition process. Research of such behaviour enhances the understanding of decomposition and benefits estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) in forensic investigations, which is critical but faces multiple challenges. In this study, we combined microbial community characterization, microbiome sequencing from different organs (i.e. brain, heart and cecum) and machine learning algorithms [random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN)] to investigate microbial succession pattern during corpse decomposition and estimate PMI in a mouse corpse system. Microbial communities exhibited significant differences between the death point and advanced decay stages. Enterococcus faecalis , Anaerosalibacter bizertensis , Lactobacillus reuteri , and so forth were identified as the most informative species in the decomposition process. Furthermore, the ANN model combined with the postmortem microbial data set from the cecum, which was the best combination among all candidates, yielded a mean absolute error of 1.5 ± 0.8 h within 24‐h decomposition and 14.5 ± 4.4 h within 15‐day decomposition. This integrated model can serve as a reliable and accurate technology in PMI estimation.

Freshwater capture fisheries are globally essential for food security and aquatic biodiversity conservation. The Yangtze River Basin is the third longest and one of the most human‐influenced drainage basins worldwide. Since the founding of P. R. China in 1949, this large river system has suffered increasing human perturbation and its sustainable development is now severely challenged. Meta‐analysis showed that Yangtze River fisheries have experienced an extraordinary process of utilization–over‐exploitation–protection during the past 70 years, to an extent that other globally important rivers may never have encountered. Its fisheries appear to have collapsed over the past four decades, with yield decreasing to only 25% of an historical peak of 400,000 metric tonnes in the late 1950s. Endemic, migratory and rare fishes have been highly threatened with obvious changes in fish community structure and aquatic biodiversity. Anthropogenic activities, including impoundment of water in dams, discharge of pollutants and riverine modification for vessel navigation, have caused large decreases in fisheries yields. Projections from surplus production modelling showed potential for improvement under fishing ban scenarios, but without any prospect for full recovery to historical stock status. This study revealed that the change in fisheries resources was dominated by the social–ecological watershed system, and an integrated approach to river basin management is warranted. Better management of freshwater ecosystems to integrate food security with biodiversity conservation is urgently needed throughout the world, and the changes evident in the Yangtze River fish populations can serve as an informative global reference.

An Improved Underwater Electric Field-Based Target Localization Combining Subspace Scanning Algorithm And Meta-EP PSO Algorithm - Wenjing Shang; Wei Xue; Yingsong Li; Xiangshang Wu; Yidong Xu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
In this paper, we propose an improved three-dimensional underwater electric field-based target localization method. This method combines the subspace scanning algorithm and the meta evolutionary programming (meta-EP) particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The subspace scanning algorithm is applied as the evaluation function of the electric field-based underwater target locating problem. The meta-EP PSO method is used to select M elite particles by the q-tournament selection method, which could effectively reduce the computational complexity of the three-dimensional underwater target localization. Moreover, the proposed meta-EP PSO optimization algorithm can avoid subspace scanning trapping into local minima. We also analyze the positioning performance of the uniform circular and cross-shaped electrodes arrays by using the subspace scanning algorithm combined with meta–EP PSO. According to the simulation, the calculation amount of the proposed algorithm is greatly reduced. Moreover, the positioning accuracy is effectively improved without changing the positioning accuracy and search speed.

Impact of sea ice decline in the Arctic Ocean on the number of extreme low‐temperature days over China - Feifan Ge; Tao Yan; Lu Zhou; Yuelin Jiang; Wei Li; Yufen Fan; Yishu Wang; Kebiao Mao; Wenge Wu (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The variation in the number of extreme low‐temperature days (NELD) during winter over China is examined. The NELD mainly has a significant decreasing trend across China. The leading NELD empirical orthogonal function (EOF) mode also shows consistent change characteristics over China, and a Mann–Kendall (MK) test of its time coefficients indicates that the NELD abruptly changed in approximately 1980. The impact of sea ice concentrations in the Arctic Ocean on the NELD is investigated. Sea ice concentration declines in the Barents Sea and the sea east of Greenland have significant negative effects on the NELD. Sea surface temperatures in these regions are negatively correlated with the NELD. The study analyses the influence mechanism by researching the composite atmosphere variable anomalies between years with below‐normal NELD and those with above‐normal NELD.

Potential Genes Related to Levofloxacin Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Based on Transcriptome and Methylome Overlap Analysis - Hai-cheng Li; Hui-xin Guo; Tao Chen; Wei Wang; Zhu-hua Wu; Liang Chen; Hui-zhong Wu; Gao-po Xu; Xun-xun Chen; Lin Zhou (Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2020)
Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tuberculosis ) has become an increasingly serious public health problem and has complicated tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Levofloxacin (LOF) is an ideal anti-tuberculosis drug in clinical applications. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms of LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis in TB treatment have not been revealed. Our study performed transcriptome and methylome sequencing to investigate the potential biological characteristics of LOF resistance in M. tuberculosis H37Rv. In the transcriptome analysis, 953 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified; 514 and 439 DEGs were significantly downregulated and upregulated in the LOF-resistant group and control group, respectively. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 97 pathways were enriched in this study. In the methylome analysis, 239 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) were identified; 150 and 89 DMGs were hypomethylated and hypermethylated in the LOF-resistant group and control group, respectively. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 74 pathways were enriched in this study. The overlap study suggested that 25 genes were obtained. It was notable that nine genes expressed downregulated mRNA and upregulated methylated levels, including pgi , fadE4 , php , cyp132 , pckA , rpmB1 , pfkB , acg , and ctpF , especially cyp132 , pckA , and pfkB , which were vital in LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The overlapping genes between transcriptome and methylome could be essential for studying the molecular mechanisms of LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis H37Rv. These results may provide informative evidence for TB treatment with LOF.

The false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens requires rice stamens for false smut ball formation - Jing Fan; Jie Liu; Zhi‐You Gong; Pei‐Zhou Xu; Xiao‐Hong Hu; Jin‐Long Wu; Guo‐Bang Li; Juan Yang; Yu‐Qiu Wang; Yu‐Feng Zhou; Shuang‐Cheng Li; Li Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is known about the host factors required for false smut ball formation by U . virens . In this study, we identified histological determinants for the formation of false smut balls by inoculating U . virens into rice floral mutants defective with respect to individual floral parts. The results showed that U . virens could form mature false smut balls in rice floral mutants with defective pistils, but failed to develop false smut balls in the superwoman mutant lacking stamens, identifying that U . virens requires rice stamens to complete its infection cycle. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated a list of candidate host genes that may facilitate nutrient acquisition by U . virens from the rice stamens, such as SWEET11 , SWEET14 and SUT5 , and genes involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose and raffinose family sugars. These data pinpoint rice stamens as the key target organ of U . virens infection and provide a valuable starting point for dissecting the molecular mechanism of false smut ball formation.

Background Both photosynthetic pigments and chloroplasts in plant leaf cells play an important role in deciding on the photosynthetic capacity and efficiency in plants. Systematical investigating the regulatory mechanism of chloroplast development and chlorophyll (Chl) content variation is necessary for clarifying the photosynthesis mechanism for crops. Objective This study aims to explore the critical regulatory mechanism of leaf color mutation in a yellow–green leaf sesame mutant Siyl - 1 . Methods We performed the genetic analysis of the yellow-green leaf color mutation using the F 2 population of the mutant Siyl - 1 . We compared the morphological structure of the chloroplasts, chlorophyll content of the three genotypes of the mutant F 2 progeny. We performed the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and compared the protein expression variation between the mutant progeny and the wild type. Results Genetic analysis indicated that there were 3 phenotypes of the F 2 population of the mutant Siyl - 1 , i.e., YY type with light-yellow leaf color (lethal); Yy type with yellow-green leaf color, and yy type with normal green leaf color. The yellow-green mutation was controlled by an incompletely dominant nuclear gene, Siyl - 1 . Compared with the wild genotype, the chloroplast number and the morphological structure in YY and Yy mutant lines varied evidently. The chlorophyll content also significantly decreased ( P < 0.05 ). The 2-DE comparison showed that there were 98 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) among YY, Yy, and yy lines. All the 98 DEPs were classified into 5 functional groups. Of which 82.7% DEPs proteins belonged to the photosynthesis and energy metabolism group. Conclusion The results revealed the genetic character of yellow-green leaf color mutant Siyl - 1 . 98 DEPs were found in YY and Yy mutant compared with the wild genotype. The regulation pathway related with the yellow leaf trait mutation in sesame was analyzed for the first time. The findings supplied the basic theoretical and gene basis for leaf color and chloroplast development mechanism in sesame.

Rare variants in FANCA induce premature ovarian insufficiency - Xi Yang; Xiaojin Zhang; Jiao Jiao; Feng Zhang; Yuncheng Pan; Qiqi Wang; Qing Chen; Baozhu Cai; Shuyan Tang; Zixue Zhou; Siyuan Chen; Hao Yin; et al. (Human Genetics, 2019)
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a major cause of reduced female fertility and affects approximately 1% women under 40 years of age. Recent advances emphasize the genetic heterogeneity of POI. Fanconi anemia (FA) genes, traditionally known for their essential roles in DNA repair and cytogenetic instability, have been demonstrated to be involved in meiosis and germ cell development. Here, we conducted whole-exome sequencing (WES) in 50 Han Chinese female patients with POI. Rare missense variants were identified in FANCA ( Fanconi anemia complementation group A ): c.1772G > A (p.R591Q) and c.3887A > G (p.E1296G). Both variants are heterozygous in the patients and very rare in the human population. In vitro functional studies further demonstrated that these two missense variants of FANCA exhibited reduced protein expression levels compared with the wild type, suggesting the partial loss of function. Moreover, mono-ubiquitination levels of FANCD2 upon mitomycin C stimulation were significantly reduced in cells overexpressing FANCA variants. Furthermore, a loss-of-function mutation of Fanca was generated in C57BL/6 mice for in vivo functional assay. Consistently, heterozygous mutated female mice ( Fanca + / − ) showed reduced fertility and declined numbers of follicles with aging when compared with the wild-type female mice. Collectively, our results suggest that heterozygous pathogenic variants in FANCA are implicated in non-syndromic POI in Han Chinese women, provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of POI and highlight the contribution of FANCA variants in female subfertility.

Cryptic phenology in plants: Case studies, implications, and recommendations - Loren P. Albert; Natalia Restrepo‐Coupe; Marielle N. Smith; Jin Wu; Cecilia Chavana‐Bryant; Neill Prohaska; Tyeen C. Taylor; Giordane A. Martins; Philippe Ciais; Jiafu Mao; M. Altaf Arain; Wei Li; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Plant phenology—the timing of cyclic or recurrent biological events in plants—offers insight into the ecology, evolution, and seasonality of plant‐mediated ecosystem processes. Traditionally studied phenologies are readily apparent, such as flowering events, germination timing, and season‐initiating budbreak. However, a broad range of phenologies that are fundamental to the ecology and evolution of plants, and to global biogeochemical cycles and climate change predictions, have been neglected because they are “cryptic”—that is, hidden from view (e.g., root production) or difficult to distinguish and interpret based on common measurements at typical scales of examination (e.g., leaf turnover in evergreen forests). We illustrate how capturing cryptic phenology can advance scientific understanding with two case studies: wood phenology in a deciduous forest of the northeastern USA and leaf phenology in tropical evergreen forests of Amazonia. Drawing on these case studies and other literature, we argue that conceptualizing and characterizing cryptic plant phenology is needed for understanding and accurate prediction at many scales from organisms to ecosystems. We recommend avenues of empirical and modeling research to accelerate discovery of cryptic phenological patterns, to understand their causes and consequences, and to represent these processes in terrestrial biosphere models.

The Asian flea beetles Altica cirsicola , Altica fragariae and Altica viridicyanea are broadly sympatric and morphologically highly similar but feed on distantly related host plants. They have been suggested as a model for ecological speciation studies. However, their phylogeny and species limits remain uncertain. In this study, we added mitochondrial genomes from multiple individuals of each species to the growing database. Phylogenetic analyses based on 15 genes showed clear interspecific divergences of A. fragariae from the other species, but A. cirsicola and A. viridicyanea were not distinguishable by distance‐based or tree‐based methods of species delimitation due to non‐monophyly of mitogenomes relative to the morphologically defined entities, possibly affected by interspecific introgression. This was confirmed by wider sampling of mitochondrial COX1 (58 individuals) and the second internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal RNA cluster (ITS2; 68 individuals), which showed that ITS2, but not COX1, coincided with the morphological species limits. The full mitochondrial genomes are not able to shed further light on the species status, even with the most sensitive approach based on diagnostic characters, yet the whole mitogenome is useful to get improved estimates of intra‐ and interspecific variation, not affected by the stochastic error seen in individual genes.

Summary The biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa highly increases the bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents and host immune clearance. The biofilm formation is positively regulated by two small RNAs, RsmY and RsmZ. Previously, we reported that mutation in the polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) coding gene pnp increases the levels of RsmY/Z. However, in this study, we found that the biofilm formation is decreased in the pnp mutant, which is due to a defect in rhamnolipids production. The rhamnolipids production is regulated by the RhlI‐RhlR quorum sensing system. We found that PNPase influences the translation of RhlI through its 5′‐untranslated region (UTR) and identified that the sRNA P27 is responsible for the translational repression. In vitro translation experiments demonstrated that P27 directly represses the translation of the rhlI mRNA through its 5′UTR in an Hfq‐dependent manner. Point mutations in the rhlI 5′UTR or P27, which abolish the pairing between the two RNAs restore the rhlI expression and rhamnolipids production as well as the biofilm formation in the pnp mutant. Overall, our results reveal a novel layer of regulation of the Rhl quorum sensing system by the sRNA P27.

A review on the research status and development trend of equipment in water treatment processes of recirculating aquaculture systems - Ruichao Xiao; Yaoguang Wei; Dong An; Daoliang Li; Xuxiang Ta; Yinghao Wu; Qin Ren (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2019)
Recirculating aquaculture systems ( RAS s) are intensive aquaculture facilities models that depend on diverse water treatment equipment to maintain good water quality and produce safe and healthy high‐quality aquatic products. This article combines the main farming‐mode of water purification recirculating processes with recent cultivation‐mode scientific research and the current development of the recirculating aquaculture industry. Harmful substances are present in aquaculture wastewater due to large quantities of residual particulate matter such as residual feed, faeces and small suspended solid particles, as well as ammonia, nitrite, bacteria and carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ), in the water. These harmful substances seriously affect the quality of aquatic products, so water treatment equipment is needed to remove these substances, add oxygen (O 2 ) to the water and adjust the temperature of the water to ensure a high‐quality environment for fish survival. This article reviews the equipment for physical filtration (e.g. solid–liquid separation equipment, microscreen drum filter and foam fractionator) that could remove suspended solids during the water treatment of RAS s and the equipment for biological filtration (e.g. fluidized sand biofilter ( FSB ), moving‐bed biofilm reactor ( MBBR ) and rotating biological contactor ( RBC )) that could remove ammonia nitrogen, nitrite and other hazardous substances from wastewater, as well as equipment for water disinfection and sterilization, O 2 addition, CO 2 removal and temperature control. Comprehensive analysis and discussion of water treatment efficiency are provided for reference to create efficient high‐end recirculation aquaculture models and increase the precision and intelligence degree of recirculating water treatment technologies in the future.

Aim We sought to understand how the individual and combined effects of multiple environmental change drivers differentially influence terrestrial nitrogen (N) concentrations and N pools and whether the interactive effects of these drivers are mainly antagonistic, synergistic or additive. Location Worldwide. Time period Contemporary. Major taxa studied Plants, soil, and soil microbes in terrestrial ecosystems. Methods We synthesized data from manipulative field studies from 758 published articles to estimate the individual, combined and interactive effects of key environmental change drivers (elevated CO 2 , warming, N addition, phosphorus addition, increased rainfall and drought) on plant, soil, and soil microbe N concentrations and pools using meta‐analyses. We assessed the influences of moderator variables on these effects through structural equation modelling. Results We found that (a) N concentrations and N pools were significantly affected by the individual and combined effects of multiple drivers, with N addition (either alone or in combination with another driver) showing the strongest positive effects; (b) the individual and combined effects of these drivers differed significantly between N concentrations and N pools in plants, but seldom in soils and microbes; (c) additive effects of driver pairs on N concentrations and pools were much more common than synergistic or antagonistic effects across plants, soils and microbes; and (d) environmental and experimental factors were important moderators of the individual, combined and interactive effects of these drivers on terrestrial N. Main conclusions Our results indicate that terrestrial N concentrations and N pools, especially those of plants, can be significantly affected by the individual and combined effects of environmental change drivers, with the interactive effects of these drivers being mostly additive. Our findings are important because they contribute to the development of models to better predict how altered N availability affects ecosystem carbon cycling under future environmental changes.

Description of a new species of Triplophysa (Teleostei: Nemacheilidae) from Guizhou Province, China - Wei‐Jun Wu; An‐You He; Jun‐Xing Yang; Li‐Na Du (Journal of Fish Biology, 2018)
A new cave‐dwelling fish species Triplophysa guizhouensis is described based on specimens collected from Guizhou, China, in a subterranean system interconnected with the Hongshui River drainage. The species can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of characters: eyes present; caudal fin with 14 branched rays; inner gill rakers of first gill arch 8–10; posterior chamber of air bladder developed; and body posterior of dorsal fin scaled. A key to species of Triplophysa in the Pearl River basin is provided.

Global importance of large‐diameter trees - James A. Lutz; Tucker J. Furniss; Daniel J. Johnson; Stuart J. Davies; David Allen; Alfonso Alonso; Kristina J. Anderson‐Teixeira; Ana Andrade; Jennifer Baltzer; Kendall M. L. Becker; Erika M. Blomdahl; Norman A. Bourg; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018)
Aim To examine the contribution of large‐diameter trees to biomass, stand structure, and species richness across forest biomes. Location Global. Time period Early 21st century. Major taxa studied Woody plants. Methods We examined the contribution of large trees to forest density, richness and biomass using a global network of 48 large (from 2 to 60 ha) forest plots representing 5,601,473 stems across 9,298 species and 210 plant families. This contribution was assessed using three metrics: the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm diameter at breast height (DBH), all trees ≥ 60 cm DBH, and those rank‐ordered largest trees that cumulatively comprise 50% of forest biomass. Results Averaged across these 48 forest plots, the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm DBH comprised 50% of aboveground live biomass, with hectare‐scale standard deviation of 26%. Trees ≥ 60 cm DBH comprised 41% of aboveground live tree biomass. The size of the largest trees correlated with total forest biomass ( r 2 = .62, p r 2 = .45, p r 2 = .33, p r 2 = .17, p = .002). The concentration of biomass in the largest 1% of trees declined with increasing absolute latitude ( r 2 = .46, p r 2 = .31, p r 2 = .26, p Main conclusions Because large‐diameter trees constitute roughly half of the mature forest biomass worldwide, their dynamics and sensitivities to environmental change represent potentially large controls on global forest carbon cycling. We recommend managing forests for conservation of existing large‐diameter trees or those that can soon reach large diameters as a simple way to conserve and potentially enhance ecosystem services.

The key gluconeogenic gene PCK1 is crucial for virulence of Botrytis cinerea via initiating its conidial germination and host penetration - Jian‐Kang Liu; Hao‐Wu Chang; Yue Liu; Yu (Haity) Qin; Yu‐Han Ding; Lan Wang; Yue Zhao; Ming‐Zhe Zhang; Sheng‐Nan Cao; Le‐Tao Li; Wei Liu; Gui‐Hua Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The process of initiation of host invasion and survival of some foliar phytopathogenic fungi in the absence of external nutrients on host leaf surfaces remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate that gluconeogenesis plays an important role in the process and nutrient‐starvation adaptation before the pathogen host invasion. Deletion of phosphoenolpyruvate c arboxy k inase gene BcPCK1 in gluconeogenesis in Botrytis cinerea , the causative agent of grey mould, resulted in the failure of the Δ Bcpck1 mutant conidia to germinate on hard and hydrophobic surface and penetrate host cells in the absence of glucose, reduction in conidiation and slow conidium germination in a nutrient‐rich medium. The wild‐type and Δ Bcpck1 conidia germinate similarly in the presence of glucose (higher concentration) as the sole carbon source. Conidial glucose‐content should reach a threshold level to initiate germination and host penetration. Infection structure formation by the mutants displayed a glucose‐dependent fashion, which corresponded to the mutant virulence reduction. Exogenous glucose or complementation of BcPCK1 completely rescued all the developmental and virulence defects of the mutants. Our findings demonstrate that BcPCK1 plays a crucial role in B. cinerea pathogenic growth and virulence, and provide new insights into gluconeogenesis mediating pathogenesis of plant fungal pathogens via initiation of conidial germination and host penetration.
