(International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2026)
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the associations between urinary metabolites of Volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) and serum Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in a representative sample of the U.S. adults. Methods We analyzed data from 4907 participants in NHANES 2011–2018. Seventeen urinary mVOCs were measured, and serum LDH was used as the outcome. Generalized linear models (GLM), restricted cubic splines (RCS), and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression were used to assess linear, nonlinear, and mixture effects. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using urinary creatinine-corrected mVOC concentrations, and quantile g-computation (qgcomp) was applied as an alternative mixture modeling approach to validate the robustness of our findings. Furthermore, false discovery rate (FDR) correction was applied to account for multiple comparisons. Results Several mVOCs were significantly associated with serum LDH. Notably, 2MHA, 34MHA, ATCA, and CYMA showed robust inverse associations, while PHEM was positively associated with LDH. RCS models revealed non-linear exposure–response relationships for multiple mVOCs. WQS regression indicated that both positively and negatively weighted mVOCs contributed to LDH levels, with DHBMA as a major positive contributor and 34MHA as a negative contributor. Most associations remained stable after sensitivity analyses. Conclusions This study demonstrates that urinary mVOCs are associated with serum LDH levels, suggesting potential subclinical toxic effects of VOC exposure. These findings underscore the need for environmental risk management and further investigation into the biological pathways linking VOCs to systemic health outcomes.

The diurnal cycle of Integrated Water Vapor (IWV) plays a key role in radiation, convection, and land–atmosphere interactions, yet its global characteristics and representation in atmospheric reanalysis products remain insufficiently quantified. Using a decade of GNSS observations from more than 6,000 stations, this study characterizes the global IWV diurnal variability and assesses the performance of ERA5 in reproducing these signals. GNSS IWV exhibits a coherent diurnal cycle dominated by the S₁ (24 h) harmonic, with annual-mean amplitudes decreasing from 3 kg m⁻² in the tropics to near zero at high latitudes, a global mean of 0.40 kg m⁻², and peak times clustered around 17.4 local time; the semidiurnal S₂ (12 h) component is weaker but similarly systematic. In contrast, ERA5 exhibits sharp artificial discontinuities at the transition times (09–10 and 21–22 UTC) of its 12-hour assimilation windows, affecting 54% of stations and reaching magnitudes that are 146% of the standard deviation of observed diurnal anomalies. These discontinuities distort the estimated diurnal cycle, producing a median S₁ phase lag of 1.1 h relative to GNSS and weakening S₂ amplitude agreement, with the coefficient of determination (R²) decreasing from 0.48 to 0.38. The results highlight both the robustness of GNSS IWV as a benchmark and the need for caution when using ERA5 for diurnal-cycle applications.

Environmental filtering drives microbial niche shift from generalists to specialists during the aging of proglacial lakes - Xiaodong Li; Bingya Zhang; Qing Yang; Zhao Xue; Guangli Mu; Meiqi Huang; Qianggong Zhang; Jinrong Huang; Yingxin Zhao; Yindong Tong (Limnology and Oceanography, 2026)
Global warming is altering material cycles in cryospheric and aquatic ecosystems. Accelerated glacier retreat has spurred the formation of numerous proglacial lakes, providing ideal natural laboratories for studying early ecological succession. However, the mechanisms driving microbial succession as these lakes age, particularly shifts in niche strategies and community assembly, remain poorly understood. We investigated 12 proglacial lakes at distinct developmental stages on the central Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, with formation dates ranging from before the 1980s to 2020. By integrating 16S/18S rRNA sequencing, molecular networks, and null models, we characterized microbial successional trajectories along this gradient. As lakes aged, α‐diversity decreased whereas β ‐diversity increased for both bacteria and eukaryotes, and this β ‐diversity shift was primarily attributable to species turnover. These changes coincided with systemic niche contraction and network simplification, leading to a significant decline in community stability. Notably, assembly processes differed between bacteria and eukaryotes. Bacterial communities shifted from stochasticity to homogeneous selection, whereas eukaryotic assembly was consistently governed by dispersal limitation. Functionally, bacteria transitioned from high‐cost stress‐response traits such as cold shock proteins to efficient nutrient biosynthesis including histidine and lysine. Together, these findings advance our understanding of divergent microbial succession and assembly mechanisms in proglacial lakes, providing critical insights into ecosystem development under climate‐driven glacier retreat.

A Parametric Investigation of the Jet Breakup Patterns of a Rotary Sprinkler - Longyu Li; Xinyu Tang; Ziyi Zhao; Dan Zi; Haijun Yan (Irrigation and Drainage, 2026)
The spraying uniformity of a sprinkler is a key hydraulic performance indicator that is closely linked to the jet breakup pattern. The current research has focused mainly on the spraying performance of sprinklers, neglecting the exploration of the breakup morphology of spray jets from sprinklers. High‐speed photography technology is adopted to investigate the entire process of the water jet breaking into droplets in the air under different operating conditions. The jet breakup patterns and their corresponding breakup processes and droplet size distributions are analysed. Through multiple‐condition experimental observations, the jet breakup patterns, including split, column and liquid‐film jets, are identified according to their ejection morphology. The breakup processes differ significantly among the three patterns. Both split and column jets form droplets via continuous ligament rupture under inertia and surface tension, whereas the liquid‐film jet first breaks into ligaments and small droplets under aerodynamic shear, which then coalesce into larger ones. The droplet volume mean diameter follows a nonlinear power function with both working pressure and nozzle diameter. Increasing pressure leads to more complete breakup and a more concentrated size distribution, whereas a larger nozzle diameter flattens the peak of the droplet size distribution, resulting in greater nonuniformity.

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.

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.

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.

Feasibility assessment of green methanol ship with integrated life cycle assessment and multi-criteria decision-making - Hang Zhao; Qianwen Hao; Haixiang Zhang; Chengjiang Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Amid the growing global demand for renewable energy and low-carbon technologies, methanol has emerged as a promising fuel for maritime applications. This study employs life cycle assessment (LCA) to quantify and compare the energy consumption, environmental impacts, and economic costs of four types of methanol ships (Coal-Methanol ship, CO 2 -Methanol ship, NG-Methanol ship, and Bio-Methanol ship). The LCA results are then integrated with multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) to establish development priorities. These priorities are subsequently translated into a set of strategic recommendations for advancing methanol ship deployment, culminating in the formulation of 30 development strategies. The results reveal that Bio-Methanol ships exhibit the lowest life cycle energy consumption, whereas Coal-Methanol ships consume approximately 3.2 times more energy. Environmentally, Bio-Methanol ships demonstrate favorable performance in several impact categories, though trade-offs exist. Economically, NG-Methanol ships are the most cost-competitive, while CO 2 -Methanol ships are the least. Overall, Bio-Methanol ships show substantial potential for accelerated and large-scale development compared to conventional Coal-Methanol. The findings underscore the importance of promoting the diversification and sustainable expansion of Bio-Methanol production, as well as advancing the broader green transformation of the shipping sector. By providing an integrated assessment of four methanol pathways within a unified framework, this study offers both quantitative benchmarks and strategic insights to support policymakers and industry stakeholders in navigating the transition toward sustainable maritime energy.

Divergent Trends and Driving Factors in Meteorological Flash Droughts Across China's Humid and Arid Regions - Xiaojuan Lu; Junhu Zhao; Jinhu Yang; Jinqing Zuo; Pengcheng Yan; Hongyan Shen; Yiping Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
Meteorological flash droughts (MFDs) typically precede agricultural flash droughts, with their propagation risk heightened by intensified land‐atmosphere coupling under global warming. Although China is highly vulnerable to such events, systematic analyses of the spatiotemporal patterns and drivers of MFDs remain limited. Here, we employ the operationally used Meteorological Drought Composite Index (MCI) to characterize MFDs across China's climatic zones and seasons from 1980 to 2024. Our analysis reveals three principal findings: (1) Spatially, humid regions experience more frequent but shorter‐duration MFDs, whereas onset speed exhibits no clear humidity dependence. (2) Temporally, while China overall shows declining MFD frequency, prolonged duration, and significantly slowed onset (99% CI), the humid region (HR) displays contrasting trends: increasing frequency (significant in western HR in summer at 95% CI and in eastern HR in spring at 90% CI), extended duration (most pronounced in summer), and significantly accelerated onset in eastern HR (95% CI). Notably, the HR saw concurrent rises in both frequency and duration during 2020–2024, amplifying ecological risks. (3) Mechanistically, in drier regions, evapotranspiration is soil moisture‐limited during MFD onset, and coupled soil moisture–evapotranspiration suppression prolongs droughts. In humid regions, evapotranspiration shifts from energy‐limited at onset to soil moisture‐limited during recovery, resulting in shorter events. The duration of precipitation deficits emerges as a dominant driver, contributing over 30% to both MFD duration and onset speed. These insights advance the mechanistic understanding of flash droughts and provide a foundation for improved monitoring, early warning, and adaptive management across China.

A multi-strategy integrated heuristic algorithm for the container relocation problem in automated container terminal yards - Yipeng Jiang; Yong Zhang; Lei Zhang; Zhen Li; Chengji Liang; Rui Zhao; Yu Wang; Panlong Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
As the operational scale of automated container terminals continues to expand, the impact of the container relocation problem on operational efficiency and cost has be-come increasingly significant. To address the issues of excessive relocations and low operational efficiency during container retrieval within a bay, a container relocation optimization model for the yard is developed. On this basis, a bay-oriented heuristic algorithm is proposed by incorporating practical operational rules and operational experience. The algorithm prioritizes empty stacks, non-blocking stacks, and stacks with the minimum number of blocking containers. It further integrates the nearest-placement rule and safety height constraints to achieve efficient and rational relocation decisions for blocking containers. Numerical experiments with different problem scales are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that, in small-scale instances, the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the number of relocations. In large-scale instances, its advantage becomes more pronounced as the problem size increases. Compared with the traditional nearest-placement rule, the proposed algorithm consistently achieves superior performance across different scales: the number of relocations is reduced by up to 15, the relocation rate decreases by an average of 56%, and the operational cost is reduced by approximately 35.85% on average.

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.

Mechanical Analysis of Deepwater Drilling Riser During Inter-Well Towage in Batch Drilling and Completion Operations: A Case Study from Stabroek Block, Guyana - Lu Guo; Chao Fu; Ying Zhao; Jin Yang; Lei Li; Haoyu Wang; Li He (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
In deepwater oil and gas development, conventional well-by-well drilling and completion involve repeated equipment deployment, resulting in low efficiency. The Liza project in the Stabroek Block, Guyana, adopts a batch drilling and completion mode, significantly improving operational efficiency. However, inter-well towage of a suspended riser introduces challenges to riser integrity and safety. This study reviews key technologies in batch drilling and develops a mechanical model for riser hard hang-off using OrcaFlex 11.5 to assess the effects of wave height, wind speed and direction, and towing speed on riser stress and universal joint angular displacement. Simulations under representative Guyana conditions show that riser stress increases with wave height. The most critical scenario occurs when towing against the current with a following wind, where the maximum safe towing speed is 0.80 m/s, governed by angular displacement limits. Additionally, batch operations significantly reduce drilling and connection time and offer environmental benefits. These results provide guidance for optimizing deepwater batch drilling and ensuring towing safety.

The accurate prediction of resistance and running attitudes of high-speed planing crafts is of great significance for the improvement of ship hydrodynamics. In this study, the lab model tests and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are employed to investigate the effects of volumetric Froude number and longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) position on the resistance performance, motion characteristics, and free-surface wave patterns for a planing craft. The capability of the CFD model was validated through towing tank resistance tests conducted under various LCG conditions. A systematic analysis of the influence mechanism of LCG variation on the hydrodynamic performance of the craft was conducted. The results indicate that an aftward LCG position can improve the resistance performance; however, it also leads to an increase in the pitch angle. These findings can provide a foundation for the optimization design of high-speed planing craft.

Robust Tightly-Coupled Multi-Source Navigation Using Acoustic-Geometric Constraints for Underwater Vehicles in Tunnels - Xiangbin Wang; Mingyu Yang; Bing Zhao; Tengfei Ma; Lijia Liu; Xinyu Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Utilizing underwater vehicles for hydropower infrastructure inspection is increasingly vital. However, these GNSS-denied and confined environments pose significant navigation challenges: Inertial Navigation Systems (INSs) suffer cumulative drift, Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs) face acoustic blind zones near walls, and visual navigation frequently fails in highly turbid waters. To address these issues, this paper proposes a tightly coupled multi-source (INS/acoustic/optical/vision) navigation algorithm leveraging prior wall geometry constraints. Developed within an Error-State Kalman Filter (ESKF) framework, the model seamlessly accommodates sensor spatiotemporal heterogeneity. To overcome optical failures, a structural surface constraint model is innovatively constructed using single-beam sonar ranging. The core contribution involves transforming sonar ranging data into 6-DOF spatial pose constraints based on the dam’s planar characteristics, effectively bounding the localization drift perpendicular to the surface. Field experiments at the hydropower station dam demonstrate that under extreme conditions with total visual failure, the proposed algorithm effectively constrains critical motion degrees of freedom. By maintaining the wall-tracking error within 0.08 m (Root Mean Square Error, RMSE)—which effectively represents the relative localization error given the known absolute position of the structural wall—this method significantly enhances the operational robustness and precision of close-wall inspections in extreme underwater environments.

Genome Analysis and Reproductive Observations Suggest Allotetraploidy and a Potential Reproduction–Metabolism Association in the Endangered Fish Neolissochilus heterostomus - Tiaoyi Xiao; Zhichao Wu; Dongfang Li; Beibei Qin; Shengguo Tang; Chengyi Lin; Kuayun Mao; Jinwu Yin; Zhihu Li; Hongquan Wang; Zhao Lv (Fishes, 2026)
Neolissochilus heterostomus, a cyprinid fish endemic to Yunnan Province, China, is highly valued for both ornamental and edible purposes, yet its wild populations are currently declining and classified as endangered. In this study, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of N. heterostomus, utilizing the PacBio HiFi and Hi-C strategies. The assembled genome spans 1793.99 Mb and is anchored to 50 chromosomes, comprising a total of 50,203 genes. Genomic features and chromosomal karyotype data recorded in the present study are consistent with an allotetraploid origin for N. heterostomus. Comparative genomics shows that N. heterostomus shares a close phylogenetic relationship with another allotetraploid fish, the common carp Cyprinus carpio. In total, 4687 expanded and 1365 contracted gene families were identified in N. heterostomus. Further enrichment analyses indicated an overrepresentation of metabolism-related pathways among the expanded and positively selected gene families, whereas the contracted gene families were enriched in reproduction- and embryonic development-related pathways. Reproductive observations further indicate that N. heterostomus produces fewer eggs than other cyprinid species characterized by relatively long embryonic development periods (106.1 h; accumulated temperature: 2260.6 °C·h), including common carp, goldfish (Carassius auratus), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), pond loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus), and blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala). These findings suggest a potential association between metabolism-related genomic features and reproductive traits, although functional validation remains necessary. Overall, this study may offer insights into the polyploidization, metabolic, and reproductive traits of N. heterostomus, thereby providing genomic and biological resources that may support future studies relevant to the conservation and management of this endangered species.

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.

Coastal application of unstructured WAVEWATCH III in swell-dominated waters - Yang Zhao; Yantong Zhang; Xiaolu Li; Long Zhou; Xinyu Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Spectral wave models are widely applied in wave hindcasting for scientific research and ocean engineering. In this study, the performance of Unstructured WAVEWATCH III (UNWWIII) in coastal shallow waters is evaluated against in-situ measurements and results from unstructured Simulating Waves Nearshore (UNSWAN), with a focus on swell-dominated conditions. A structured multi-grid WAVEWATCH III system is implemented for the Indian Ocean to provide high-quality incident boundary wave spectra for the coastal unstructured models. The ocean-scale model is calibrated and validated using denoised along-track significant wave heights from the European Space Agency’s Sea State Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) dataset and in-situ moored buoy observations. Unstructured wave models are then established for the coastal waters of Hambantota, Sri Lanka, using both UNWWIII and UNSWAN. The performance of UNWWIII is comprehensively assessed using bulk wave parameters, energy spectra, and directional spectra against field measurements. Results indicate that UNWWIII yields comparable performance to UNSWAN in reproducing coastal wave conditions. Differences between the explicit and implicit solvers coupled with domain decomposition are also examined. Both numerical schemes agree well with observations. This study provides a practical reference for wave hindcasting at both oceanic and coastal scales.

Distinguishing Catastrophic From Non‐Catastrophic Extreme Precipitation Events Through Moisture Transport Perspectives: A Case Study in Henan Province - Jie Zhao; Weidong Li; Tiejian Li; Mingxi Zhang; Zhaoxi Li; Minglei Hou; Yang Su; Yongchi Hou (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
Under global warming, extreme precipitation events (EPEs) are becoming more frequent and drawing increasing attention. However, most research defines EPEs based on statistical thresholds (e.g., 95th percentile), which may not capture their catastrophic potential. Through analysis of four cases in China's Henan Province, including the 2021 Zhengzhou and 1975 events, this study investigates the mechanisms that transform extreme precipitation into catastrophic events. Using Lagrangian moisture tracking and watershed segmentation algorithms, we found that all EPEs in Henan share a dominant southeastern moisture transport pathway from the Western Pacific Ocean, differing from the climatological southwestern monsoon pattern. Their circulation is characterised by an anomalously northward‐shifted Western Pacific subtropical high and concurrent tropical cyclone activities. What distinguishes catastrophic precipitation events (CPEs) is their ‘moisture transport structure stability’—characterised by synchronised interaction between tropical cyclones and the subtropical high, creating atmospheric blocking patterns and stable moisture channels. Three precursor signals for CPEs were identified: large‐scale circulation patterns featuring synchronised tropical cyclone‐subtropical high interactions, sustained low‐level jets concentrating moisture transport below 900 hPa, and persistent atmospheric circulation maintaining organised moisture channels. These findings reveal key mechanisms transforming extreme precipitation into catastrophic events and provide insights for improving extreme weather forecasting in monsoon regions.
