Rice false smut fungus hijacks the rice nutrients supply by blocking and mimicking the fertilization of rice ovary - Jie‐Hui Song; Wei Wei; Bo Lv; Yang Lin; Wei‐Xiao Yin; You‐Liang Peng; Guido Schnabel; Jun‐Bin Huang; Dao‐Hong Jiang; Chao‐Xi Luo (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary Rice false smut disease is an increasing threat to rice production in the world. Despite of best efforts, research for the infection of the fungus has yielded equivocal and conflicting results about where and how the infection is initiated and developed. Here we show a stepwise infection pattern and sophisticated regulation during this process. Initial infection occurred on the filaments, which prevented the production of mature pollen thus blocked the pollination. In the following days, the pathogen invaded the stigmas and styles, occasionally the ovaries. Expression analysis indicated that the fungus mimicked a successful fertilization process and enabled the continuous supply of nutrients for fungus to produce false smut balls. The stepwise infection of flower organs and mimicry of ovary fertilization unveiled in this study guided the rice plant into supplying nutrients for false smut ball development and represents a new and unique biological process of host pathogen interactions.

Litter quality mediated nitrogen effect on plant litter decomposition regardless of soil fauna presence - Weidong Zhang; Lin Chao; Qingpeng Yang; Qingkui Wang; Yunting Fang; Silong Wang (Ecology, 2016)
Nitrogen addition has been shown to affect plant litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems. The way that nitrogen deposition impacts the relationship between plant litter decomposition and altered soil nitrogen availability is unclear, however. This study examined 18 co‐occurring litter types in a subtropical forest in China in terms of their decomposition (1 yr of exposure in the field) with nitrogen addition treatment (0, 0.4, 1.6, and 4.0 mol·N·m −2 ·yr −1 ) and soil fauna exclusion (litter bags with 0.1 and 2 cm mesh size). Results showed that the plant litter decomposition rate is significantly reduced because of nitrogen addition; the strength of the nitrogen addition effect is closely related to the nitrogen addition levels. Plant litters with diverse quality responded to nitrogen addition differently. When soil fauna was present, the nitrogen addition effect on medium‐quality or high‐quality plant litter decomposition rate was −26% ± 5% and −29% ± 4%, respectively; these values are significantly higher than that of low‐quality plant litter decomposition. The pattern is similar when soil fauna is absent. In general, the plant litter decomposition rate is decreased by soil fauna exclusion; an average inhibition of −17% ± 1.5% was exhibited across nitrogen addition treatment and litter quality groups. However, this effect is weakly related to nitrogen addition treatment and plant litter quality. We conclude that the variations in plant litter quality, nitrogen deposition, and soil fauna are important factors of decomposition and nutrient cycling in a subtropical forest ecosystem.

Did a Miocene–Pliocene island isolation sequence structure diversification of funnel web spiders in the Taiwan‐Ryukyu Archipelago? - Yong‐Chao Su; Rafe M. Brown; Yung‐Hau Chang; Chung‐Ping Lin; I‐Min Tso (Journal of Biogeography, 2016)
Aim We tested the competing hypotheses concerning the relative importance of Pleistocene versus Miocene–Pliocene geological events for the formation of endemism in an Asian archipelago using the Macrothele taiwanensis (Hexathelidae) species group. Location Taiwan‐Ryukyu Archipelago. Methods We estimated phylogenetic trees from cytochrome oxidase I subunit ( COI ) and 16S rRNA ( 16S ) gene regions and employed Bayesian ancestral range reconstructions to investigate previously debated models of lineage diversification in the Taiwan‐Ryukyu Archipelago. To evaluate alternative geological timeframes for their importance in shaping the genetic structure of funnel web spiders, we used five time calibration schemes to estimate timing of divergence, infer ancestral distributions, and to reconstruct historical demographic changes in each lineage. We tested taxonomic boundaries with two species delimitation procedures. Results Our results indicate a north‐to‐south isolation sequence of the M. taiwanensis group: the Amami lineage diverged first, then Yaeyama, and finally the Taiwanese lineages. Divergence time estimation and population demographic change analyses indicate that Pleistocene climate fluctuations minimally impacted the genetic structure of these spiders. Instead, estimated divergence events correspond to Miocene–Pliocene geological events, strongly supporting a much older timeframe for diversification. The results of species delimitation analyses coincide well with morphological differences observed among the island populations, reinforcing inferred species boundaries, and at least three potential cryptic species were statistically detected within Taiwan. Main conclusions Miocene–Pliocene geological events appear to have contributed disproportionately to diversification in the M. taiwanensis species group. The clear association between geographical area, genetic structure and statistical species delimitation strongly supports an interpretation of allopatric speciation. We advocate comparing our results with those derived from additional study organisms with similar life histories to further explore the Miocene–Pliocene diversification hypothesis.

Methane and nitrous oxide emissions under no‐till farming in China: a meta‐analysis - Xin Zhao; Sheng‐Li Liu; Chao Pu; Xiang‐Qian Zhang; Jian‐Fu Xue; Ran Zhang; Yu‐Qiao Wang; Rattan Lal; Hai‐Lin Zhang; Fu Chen (Global Change Biology, 2016)
No‐till ( NT ) practices are among promising options toward adaptation and mitigation of climate change. However, the mitigation effectiveness of NT depends not only on its carbon sequestration potential but also on soil‐derived CH 4 and N 2 O emissions. A meta‐analysis was conducted, using a dataset involving 136 comparisons from 39 studies in China, to identify site‐specific factors which influence CH 4 emission, CH 4 uptake, and N 2 O emission under NT . Comparative treatments involved NT without residue retention ( NT 0), NT with residue retention ( NTR ), compared to plow tillage ( PT ) with residue removed ( PT 0). Overall, NT 0 significantly decreased CH 4 emission by ~30% ( P 0.05) compared to PT 0 with an average emission 218.8 kg ha −1 for rice paddies. However, the increase in N 2 O emission could partly offset the benefits of the decrease in CH 4 emission under NT compared to PT 0. NTR significantly enhanced N 2 O emission by 82.1%, 25.5%, and 20.8% ( P 0.05) compared to PT 0 for rice paddies, acid soils, and the first 5 years of the experiments, respectively. The results from categorical meta‐analysis indicated that the higher N 2 O emission could be mitigated by adopting NT within alkaline soils, for long‐term duration, and with less N fertilization input when compared to PT 0. In addition, the natural log (lnR) of response ratio of CH 4 and N 2 O emissions under NT correlated positively (enhancing emission) with climate factors (temperature and precipitation) and negatively (reducing emission) with experimental duration, suggesting that avoiding excess soil wetness and using NT for a long term could enhance the benefits of NT . Therefore, a thorough understanding of the conditions favoring greenhouse gas(es) reductions is essential to achieving climate change mitigation and advancing food security in China.

Altitudinal and latitudinal dependence of future warming in Taiwan simulated by WRF nested with ECHAM5/MPIOM - Chuan‐Yao Lin; Ying‐Jea Chua; Yang‐Fan Sheng; Huang‐Hsiung Hsu; Chao‐Tzuen Cheng; Yi‐Yin Lin (International Journal of Climatology, 2015)
It is difficult and inadequate to use a global model alone for projecting future climate changes in areas such as Taiwan, a complex geographic nature island, due to its coarse resolution. In this study, we have performed dynamic downscaling of Taiwan's climate in the recent past (1979–2003) and climate change projection for the near and distant future (2015–2039 and 2075–2099, respectively) by using the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model. The simulation is forced by the Max Plank Institute Hamburg, global model, ECHAM5/MPIOM. Simulation results showed close correlation between fine‐resolution downscaling by WRF nested with ECHAM5/MPIOM and the actual observation data for the period 1979–2003. Projection of future climate changes revealed both altitudinal and latitudinal variations in warming trend, with more significant temperature increase in mountain areas than in plain areas towards the end of the 21st century and more obvious warming in the north than in the south of Taiwan. The results obtained in this study can be applied to other regions of similar latitudes and with comparable relief.

Hopping out of Mindanao: Miocene‐Pliocene geological processes and cross‐island dispersal as major drivers of diversity for Philippine treehoppers - Yong‐Chao Su; Jo‐Fan Wang; Reagan Joseph T. Villanueva; Olga M. Nuñeza; Chung‐Ping Lin (Journal of Biogeography, 2014)
Aim We investigated the biogeographical history of an endemic Philippine treehopper, Pyrgonota bifoliata (Membracidae), to test the effect of Neogene geological events and Pleistocene climate change in generating speciation within the Philippines. Location The Philippine archipelago. Methods Phylogenies were reconstructed based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I subunit ( cox1 ) and nuclear wingless ( wg ) genes using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian criteria. Divergence times were estimated in beast based on a range of mutation rates. Ancestral ranges were reconstructed using rasp (Reconstruct Ancestral State in Phylogenies) and Bayesian stochastic search variable selection (BSSVS). Species boundaries were tested using the Bayesian general mixed Yule coalescent ( bGMYC ) and Bayesian phylogenetic and phylogeography (BPP) methods. Results Pyrgonota bifoliata showed one of the lowest levels of between‐Pleistocene island genetic variation among all the taxa examined. Most Pleistocene aggregate island complex ( PAIC ) lineages and extant P. bifoliata originated before the onset of the first extensive Pleistocene glacial cycle. Ancestral P. bifoliata originated in the late Miocene from Mindanao, followed by a sequential northwards colonization of the Visayan Islands and Luzon in the Pliocene–early Pleistocene, which coincided with the spatial reorganization of the Philippines. The statistically delimited nine provisional species of what we now view as the P. bifoliata species complex correspond to current island boundaries and specialized host plants. Main conclusions The temporally calibrated phylogeny of P. bifoliata represents the first invertebrate study to support the hypothesis that Miocene–Pliocene geological events and consequent cross‐island dispersal were pivotal promoters of species diversity in the Philippines. We hypothesize that ecological adaptation to specialized host plants, together with either local selection or genetic drift through within‐island allopatric isolation, present a plausible in situ speciation mechanism for the origin of these herbivorous insects.

The influence of local spring temperature variance on temperature sensitivity of spring phenology - Tao Wang; Catherine Ottlé; Shushi Peng; Ivan A. Janssens; Xin Lin; Benjamin Poulter; Chao Yue; Philippe Ciais (Global Change Biology, 2014)
The impact of climate warming on the advancement of plant spring phenology has been heavily investigated over the last decade and there exists great variability among plants in their phenological sensitivity to temperature. However, few studies have explicitly linked phenological sensitivity to local climate variance. Here, we set out to test the hypothesis that the strength of phenological sensitivity declines with increased local spring temperature variance, by synthesizing results across ground observations. We assemble ground‐based long‐term (20–50 years) spring phenology database ( PEP 725 database) and the corresponding climate dataset. We find a prevalent decline in the strength of phenological sensitivity with increasing local spring temperature variance at the species level from ground observations. It suggests that plants might be less likely to track climatic warming at locations with larger local spring temperature variance. This might be related to the possibility that the frost risk could be higher in a larger local spring temperature variance and plants adapt to avoid this risk by relying more on other cues (e.g., high chill requirements, photoperiod) for spring phenology, thus suppressing phenological responses to spring warming. This study illuminates that local spring temperature variance is an understudied source in the study of phenological sensitivity and highlight the necessity of incorporating this factor to improve the predictability of plant responses to anthropogenic climate change in future studies.

A novel statistical method for classifying habitat generalists and specialists - Robin L. Chazdon; Anne Chao; Robert K. Colwell; Shang-Yi Lin; Natalia Norden; Susan G. Letcher; David B. Clark; Bryan Finegan; J. Pablo Arroyo (Ecology, 2011)
We develop a novel statistical approach for classifying generalists and specialists in two distinct habitats. Using a multinomial model based on estimated species relative abundance in two habitats, our method minimizes bias due to differences in sampling intensities between two habitat types as well as bias due to insufficient sampling within each habitat. The method permits a robust statistical classification of habitat specialists and generalists, without excluding rare species a priori. Based on a user‐defined specialization threshold, the model classifies species into one of four groups: (1) generalist; (2) habitat A specialist; (3) habitat B specialist; and (4) too rare to classify with confidence. We illustrate our multinomial classification method using two contrasting data sets: (1) bird abundance in woodland and heath habitats in southeastern Australia and (2) tree abundance in second‐growth (SG) and old‐growth (OG) rain forests in the Caribbean lowlands of northeastern Costa Rica. We evaluate the multinomial model in detail for the tree data set. Our results for birds were highly concordant with a previous nonstatistical classification, but our method classified a higher fraction (57.7%) of bird species with statistical confidence. Based on a conservative specialization threshold and adjustment for multiple comparisons, 64.4% of tree species in the full sample were too rare to classify with confidence. Among the species classified, OG specialists constituted the largest class (40.6%), followed by generalist tree species (36.7%) and SG specialists (22.7%). The multinomial model was more sensitive than indicator value analysis or abundance‐based phi coefficient indices in detecting habitat specialists and also detects generalists statistically. Classification of specialists and generalists based on rarefied subsamples was highly consistent with classification based on the full sample, even for sampling percentages as low as 20%. Major advantages of the new method are (1) its ability to distinguish habitat generalists (species with no significant habitat affinity) from species that are simply too rare to classify and (2) applicability to a single representative sample or a single pooled set of representative samples from each of two habitat types. The method as currently developed can be applied to no more than two habitats at a time.

Knowledge about the role of litter and dung decomposition in nutrient cycling and response to climate change and grazing in alpine ecosystems is still rudimentary. We conducted two separate studies to assess the relative role of warming and grazing on litter mass loss and on the temperature sensitivity of litter and dung mass loss. Experiments were conducted for 1–2 years under a controlled warming–grazing system and along an elevation gradient from 3200 to 3800 m. A free‐air temperature enhancement system (FATE) using infrared heaters and grazing significantly increased soil temperatures (average 0.5–1.6 °C) from 0 to 40 cm depth, but neither warming nor grazing affected soil moisture except early in the growing seasons at 30 cm soil depth. Heaters caused greater soil warming at night‐time compared with daytime, but grazing resulted in greater soil warming during daytime compared with night‐time. Annual average values of the soil temperature at 5 cm were 3.2, 2.4 and 0.3 °C at 3200, 3600 and 3800 m, respectively. Neither warming nor grazing caused changes of litter quality for the first year of the controlled warming–grazing experiment. The effects of warming and grazing on litter mass losses were additive, increasing litter mass losses by about 19.3% and 8.3%, respectively, for the 2‐year decomposition periods. The temperature sensitivity of litter mass losses was approximately 11% °C −1 based on the controlled warming–grazing experiment. The annual cumulative litter mass loss was approximately 2.5 times that of dung along the elevation gradient. However, the temperature sensitivity (about 18% °C −1 ) of the dung mass loss was about three times that of the litter mass loss. These results suggest greater warming at night‐time compared with daytime may accelerate litter mass loss, and grazing will enhance carbon loss to atmosphere in the region through a decrease of litter biomass and an increase of dung production with an increase of stocking rate in future warmer conditions.

Phylogeography of Hemibarbus labeo (Cyprinidae): secondary contact of ancient lineages of mtDNA - Chung‐Jian Lin; Hung‐Du Lin; Jiang‐Ping Wang; Seau‐Chiou Chao; Tzen‐Yuh Chiang (Zoologica Scripta, 2010)
Lin, C.‐J., Lin, H.‐D., Wang, J.‐P., Chao, S.‐C. & Chiang, T.‐Y. (2007). Phylogeography of Hemibarbus labeo (Cyprinidae): secondary contact of ancient lineages of mtDNA. — Zoologica Scripta, 39 , 23–35. Nucleotide sequences of the D‐loop control region of mtDNA were used to assess the genetic structure and phylogeography of Hemibarbus labeo in Mainland China and Taiwan. A hierarchical analysis of molecular variance of populations in 11 major streams from three geographical regions revealed significant structuring among populations and geographical regions. High levels of nucleotide diversity ( π = 1.88%) and haplotype diversity ( h = 96 ± 0.009%) suggest a large effective population size. A maximum likelihood tree based on mtDNA variation identified two ancient mtDNA lineages, which split approximately 3.39 million years ago. Overlapping distribution of the major lineages displayed low correspondence with geographical regions and reflects a scenario of secondary mergence after long isolation. Gene genealogy further revealed a unidirectional migration. Nevertheless, there existed a phylogeographical structure that mostly agreed with a biogeographical hypothesis. That is, within each lineage, a close phylogeny between populations of the River‐Campagna and East‐Pacific regions was supported by the mtDNA gene genealogy, although monophyly of each geographical region was not supported. The degree of genetic differentiation was correlated with geographical distances between populations, displaying a pattern of ‘isolation by distance’. Gene genealogy of mtDNA revealed that Yangtzejiang population may act as a divergence centre of H. labeo . In addition, Taiwan population was colonized via a recent a founder event, likely from population Yangtzejiang River about 131 000 years before present. Low haplotype number and genetic variability also suggested possible bottleneck events in the Rongjiang and Dazhangjiang populations.
