Fatty Acid Profile of Jumbo Squid (Dosidicus gigas) off the Peruvian Exclusive Economic Zone: Revealing the Variability of Feeding Strategies - Guanyu Hu; Zhenfang Zhao; Bilin Liu; Dongming Lin; Jiawei Liang; Zhou Fang; Xinjun Chen (Fishes, 2022)
Jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas play a critical role in the marine ecosystems and are an important commercial species in the East Pacific. Generally, three size groups have been distinguished on the basis of the mantle length (ML) of an adult. Here, fatty acid (FA) analyses of muscle tissues were used to explore the feeding strategies of D. gigas off the Peruvian exclusive economic zone in terms of different size groups and sexes. There was no significant difference in fatty acid composition between the small- and medium-sized groups, whereas the large-sized group differed significantly from other groups. The higher content of C20:4n6 and (C18:2n6 + C18:3n3) indicates that the large-sized group may feed more frequently in nearshore and deep waters. Furthermore, the niches of the three size groups were consistent with the results of fatty acid composition, with the large-sized group occupying the widest trophic niche, followed by the medium-sized group and then the small-sized group. In addition, there was evidence of trophic niche overlap between the small and medium groups. In terms of sexual variability of the small and medium groups, the fatty acid composition significantly differed between females and males. In terms of sexual variation of the large group, the fatty acid composition between females and males was similar, indicating that similar feeding strategies may be adopted by them. This study revealed the variability of the feeding strategies of three size groups of D. gigas off the Peruvian exclusive economic zone.

An Analytical Solution of Transient Wave Generation in the Wave Channel - Cheng-Tsung Chen; Jaw-Fang Lee; Kuei-Ting Lin; Pi-Sheng Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Transient characteristics of wave generation in the wave channel can provide unique and important information in contrast to the steady and periodic motion of propagation waves. In this paper, a new analytical solution is proposed for a transient wavemaker problem in the wave channel. The mathematical model of the wavemaker problem is established based on the linear potential wave theory, and a new analytical solution for the corresponding initial and boundary-value problem is presented. The present solution methodology is motivated and developed from old methods shown in literature. The present solution can be mathematically reformulated and shown to be identical to the previous solution using different solution methodology. The present analytical solution is further compared with numerical results and experiments to validate the mathematical model. The present solution is used to calculate the steady state generated wave forms that compare very well with the steady wave theory both in wave length and wave period. The present solution is also used to study unsteady characteristics of wave heights and wave lengths of the leading waves. The present analytical solution methodology can provide an easier approach to obtain the analytical solution for transient wave generation problem in the wave channel.

Effects of nitrogen addition on soil faunal abundance: A global meta‐analysis - Junxi Hu; Shixing Zhou; Liehua Tie; Xiong Liu; Xing Liu; Anjiu Zhao; Jiaming Lai; Lin Xiao; Chengming You; Congde Huang (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2022)
Aim Soil fauna has a wide range of ecosystem functions. Anthropogenic atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition affects the structure and function of soil fauna by changing the microenvironment and resources. Given that soil faunal responses can vary considerably among taxonomic groups, N deposition rate, and ecosystems, however, there is little consensus. We aimed to evaluate the effects of N deposition on different soil faunal taxa across different terrestrial ecosystems. Location Global. Time period 1970–2021. Major taxa studied Soil fauna. Methods We conducted a meta‐analysis that yielded 264 observations from 43 publications. We evaluated the responses to N addition of soil faunal abundance for three different taxa (nematodes, mites, collembolans) in three ecosystem types (cropland, forest, and grassland). Results Our results showed an overall negative effect of N addition on soil fauna. However, the effect varied among soil faunal taxa. Specifically, N addition had no significant effects on the abundance of collembolans and mites in any ecosystem. On the other hand, N addition significantly reduced the abundance of all nematode trophic groups except bacterivores. The overall reduction of soil fauna is likely driven by the nematode response. The negative effects of N addition on nematode abundance were contingent on the N addition rate, N addition form, and ecosystem type. N addition decreased nematode abundance at N addition rates of more than 100 kg/ha/year. Inorganic N addition negatively affected nematode abundance. Finally, N addition had a greater adverse effect on nematodes in cropland and grassland compared to forest ecosystems. Main conclusions Our results demonstrate the overall negative effects of N addition on nematode abundance. Excessive N addition should be avoided in cropland and grassland management. Further, we suggest the application of organic fertilizer instead of inorganic fertilizer to minimize the N‐induced negative effects on soil nematodes.

Lagrangian Observation of the Kuroshio Current by Surface Drifters in 2019 - Zhenyu Sun; Jianyu Hu; Hongyang Lin; Zhaozhang Chen; Jia Zhu; Longqi Yang; Zhiyuan Hu; Xirong Chen; Xuewen Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In this research, the features of the Kuroshio Current in 2019 were studied based on the observations of 29 self-developed surface current experiment drifters deployed in the western Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea. The Kuroshio flow pattern and velocity magnitude observed in 2019 were largely consistent with the climatology based on the historical drifter dataset, but they still exhibited distinctive characteristics. The intrusion of the Kuroshio into the South China Sea in the spring was observed by a group of drifters crossing the Luzon Strait from east to west, which is a notable departure from the non-intrusion pattern noted to occur in the spring in most of the historical records. A strong intrusion of the Kuroshio into the East China Sea was also observed, taking an anti-cyclonic turn in the northeast of Taiwan Island. Both the drifter trajectories and altimeter-derived dynamical topography captured the large meander pattern of the Kuroshio south of Japan in 2019, with the flow path having a maximum offshore distance of 470 km. In addition, Lagrangian statistics (lateral diffusivity, integral time scale, and integral space scale) were estimated for four selected regions with adequate drifter samplings. The lateral diffusivity had large values along the Kuroshio segment in the East China Sea and small values on the continental shelf of the East China Sea. The integral time scales for the four regions ranged from 0.8 to 3.7 days, with a corresponding integral space scale of 19~128 km.

A Review of the Development of Key Technologies for Offshore Wind Power in China - Qixiang Fan; Xin Wang; Jing Yuan; Xin Liu; Hao Hu; Peng Lin (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In recent years, Offshore Wind Power (OWP) has gained prominence in China’s national energy strategy. However, the levelized cost of electricity (LCoE) of wind power must be further reduced to match the average wholesale price. The cost-cutting and revenue-generating potential of offshore wind generation depends on technological innovation. The most recent studies and applications of offshore wind technology are thoroughly examined. (1) Techniques for site selection, such as site surveys, wind resource assessments, and environmental factors, are reviewed. (2) Three main technical components in offshore wind farms are discussed, including wind turbine, foundations, and booster stations. (3) The state-of-the-art method of the offshore wind farm’s construction and operation and maintenance (O&M) practices is discussed. In situ marine geological surveying, large-scale offshore wind turbine manufacturing, integrated structural design, floating foundation design, flexible DC transmission technology, shortage of specialized vessels and equipment for construction, intelligence of O&M, and other issues are challenging China’s OWP industry. A brief overview of China’s efforts in standardization, parity, and research and development are discussed. Recommendations for future development of the wind power industry are provided for China, which may be referable for other nations with comparable circumstances.

LncRNA BIRF Promotes Brain Ischemic Tolerance Induced By Cerebral Ischemic Preconditioning Through Upregulating GLT-1 via Sponging miR-330-5p - Shichao Li; Lingyan Zhang; Jiajie Lin; Achou Su; Xiyun Liu; Jingge Zhang; Xiaohui Xian; Yuyan Hu; Wenbin Li; Shaoguang Sun; Min Zhang (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important regulatory role in various diseases. However, the role of lncRNAs in brain ischemic tolerance (BIT) induced by cerebral ischemic preconditioning (CIPC) is still unknown. The lncRNA profile of rat cortical astrocytes pretreated with ischemic preconditioning was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. The results of Cell-Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay showed that a novel lncRNA, NONRATT009133.2, which we referred to as brain ischemia–related factor (BIRF), was highly correlated with BIT. Through bioinformatics analysis, we predicted that BIRF, miR-330-5p, and GLT-1 (also named Slc1a2 ) might constitute a ceRNA regulatory network in the induction of BIT. We found that BIRF was upregulated by CIPC, which promoted GLT-1 expression and BIT induction. BIRF could directly bind to miR-330-5p. Furthermore, miR-330-5p directly targeted GLT-1, and miR-330-5p inhibited both GLT-1 expression and BIT induction in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, BIRF acts as a molecular sponge to competitively bind to miR-330-5p with GLT-1 mRNA, while the miR-330-5p inhibitor reversed all the effects of BIRF siRNA on GLT-1 expression and neuronal vitality. Taken together, our results demonstrate the important roles of the BIRF/miR-330-5p/GLT-1 axis in the induction of BIT by CIPC. BIRF may be a potentially effective therapeutic strategy against stroke injury.

Analysis of the Mechanical Properties of the Reconstituted Hydrate-Bearing Clayey-Silt Samples from the South China Sea - Lin Dong; Hualin Liao; Yanlong Li; Qingguo Meng; Gaowei Hu; Jintang Wang; Nengyou Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments (HBS) are crucial for evaluating drilling- and production-induced geo-hazards. However, investigations on mechanical behaviors of clayey-silt samples containing hydrate are insufficient due to low efficiency in preparing reconstituted hydrate-bearing samples. Herein, we carried out a series of triaxial shear tests to analyze the deformation behaviors of reconstituted clayey-silt samples containing tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrate. The sediments were taken from the Shenhu Area, northern South China Sea. The failure mechanisms during shearing are discussed based on micro-to-macro analyses. The results imply that the stress-strain curves show obvious strain-hardening under triaxial shearing, which can be divided into elastic deformation stage, transitional stage, and plastic deformation stage. Besides, the results reveal that cohesion strengthens from 0.09 MPa to 1.28 MPa when hydrate saturation increases from 15% to 60%. Moreover, calculation models are proposed to evaluate failure strengths and Young’s modulus. Establishing empirical formula based on experimental data can quickly determine the strength parameters with knowing the hydrate saturation and stress state of clayey-silt sediments containing hydrate. It is urgent in field operations and numerical simulation to use reliable empirical models.

Massive Heat Shock Protein 70 Genes Expansion and Transcriptional Signatures Uncover Hard Clam Adaptations to Heat and Hypoxia - Zhi Hu; Hao Song; Jie Feng; Cong Zhou; Mei-Jie Yang; Pu Shi; Zheng-Lin Yu; Yong-Ren Li; Yong-Jun Guo; Hai-Zhou Li; Tao Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) members participate in a wide range of housekeeping and stress-related activities in eukaryotic cells. In marine ecosystems, bivalves encounter abiotic stresses, including high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen. Here, 133 MmHSP70 genes were identified through combined methods including Blastp, HMM and manual filtration, based on the whole Mercenaria mercenaria genome. The MmHSP70 genes were unevenly distributed, and 41 genes (33.08%) were located on Chr 7. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the MmHSP70 gene family mainly consisted of two clusters and the Hspa12 subfamily underwent lineage-specific expansion. A high-density collinear gene block was observed between M. mercenaria Chr 7 and Cyclina sinensis Chr 14. Tandem duplication MmHSP70 gene pairs experienced different levels of purifying selection, which could be an important source of sequence and functional constraints. MmHSP70 genes showed tissue-specific and stress-specific expression. Most tandem duplication HSP70 gene pairs had high expression under hypoxia stress. HSP70 B2 tandem duplication gene pairs showed significantly increased expression under heat plus severe hypoxia stress. This study provided a comprehensive understanding of the MmHSP70 gene family in the M. mercenaria and laid a significant foundation for further studies on the functional characteristics of MmHSP70 genes during exposure to heat and hypoxia stress.

Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW. Elevated expression of PDXDC1 is related to higher BMD and lower ratio n-6/n-3 PUFA indicating a bone protective effect of PDXDC1.

Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Two Tintinnid Ciliates of Leprotintinnus (Protista, Ciliophora, Choreotrichida) Combining the Loricae, Cytological, Ontogenetic Features, and Barcoding Genes - Tao Hu; Zhaoyi Wang; Weiwei Liu; Xiaofeng Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Tintinnid ciliates are a highly diverse and essential group in the marine planktonic microbial loop. However, most of the known tintinnids were recorded only by the lorica characters and very few of them had been studied on their cytological features. In this study, the morphological characters of the lorica, ciliary pattern, nuclear apparatus, ontogenesis, and the molecular phylogeny of two poorly known tintinnid ciliates, Leprotintinnus nordqvisti ( Brandt, 1906 ) Kofoid and Campbell (1929) and L. simplex Schmidt (1902) , isolated from coastal waters of southern China, were investigated based on living observation, silver staining, three nuclear ribosomal DNA markers (18S, ITS1-5.8S-ITS2, and 28S genes) and one mitochondrial DNA marker ( CO1 gene). For the first time, the somatic ciliary pattern of the genus Leprotintinnus was disclosed, viz ., comprising a ventral, a dorsal, and a posterior kinety as well as a right, a left, and a lateral ciliary field. The diagnoses of both Leprotintinnus species were improved and the neotype was assigned. The ontogenesis of L. nordqvisti was in enantiotropic division mode with the new dorsal and posterior kineties generated de novo . The molecular phylogeny confirmed that Leprotintinnus species are closely related to some species of Tintinnopsis , Stylicauda , Rhizodomus , and Climacocylis . The anterior extending of the ventral kinety together with some of the lateral kinety is likely to be a distinguishing feature to determine their systematic relationships. This study also revealed that (i) the lorica of L. nordqvisti is polymorphic or plastic; (ii) Leprotintinnus tubulosus Roxas (1941) might be a synonym of L . nordqvisti ; (iii) Leprotintinnus neriticus sensu Yoo et al. (1988) might be a misidentification of L. simplex .

Climate warming promotes deterministic assembly of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities - Xinyu Xu; Yunpeng Qiu; Kangcheng Zhang; Fei Yang; Mengfei Chen; Xi Luo; Xuebin Yan; Peng Wang; Yi Zhang; Huaihai Chen; Hui Guo; Lin Jiang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) significantly contribute to plant resource acquisition and play important roles in mediating plant interactions and soil carbon (C) dynamics. However, it remains unclear how AMF communities respond to climate change. We assessed impacts of warming and precipitation alterations (30% increase or decrease) on soil AMF communities, and examined major ecological processes shaping the AMF community assemblage in a Tibetan alpine meadow. Our results showed that warming significantly increased root biomass, and available nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in soil. While precipitation alterations increased AMF abundances, they did not significantly affect the composition or diversity of AMF communities. In contrast, warming altered the composition of AMF communities and reduced their Shannon–Wiener index and Pielou's evenness. In particular, warming shifted the AMF community composition in favor of Diversisporaceae over Glomeraceae, likely through its impact on soil N and P availability. In addition, AMF communities were phylogenetically random in the unwarmed control but clustered in warming plots, implying more deterministic community assembly under climate warming. Warming enhancement of root growth, N and P availability likely reduced plant C‐allocation to AMF, imposing stronger environmental filtering on AMF communities. We further proposed a conceptual framework that integrates biological and geochemical processes into a mechanistic understanding of warming and precipitation changes’ effects on AMF. Taken together, these results suggest that soil AMF communities may be more sensitive to warming than expected, highlighting the need to monitor their community structure and associated functional consequences on plant communities and soil C dynamics under the future warmer climate.

Physical and Numerical Investigations on Wave Run-Up and Dissipation under Breakwater with Fence Revetment - Enjin Zhao; Lin Mu; Zhaoyang Hu; Xinqiang Wang; Junkai Sun; Zhiyong Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Revetment elements and protective facilities on a breakwater can effectively weaken the impact of waves. In order to resist storm surges, there is a plan to build a breakwater on the northern shore of Meizhou Bay in Putian City, China. To better design it, considering different environmental conditions, physical and numerical experiments were carried out to accurately study the effects of the breakwater and its auxiliary structures on wave propagation. In the experiments, the influence of the wave type, initial water depth, and the structure of the fence plate are considered. The wave run-up and dissipation, the wave overtopping volume, and the structure stability are analyzed. The results indicate that the breakwater can effectively resist the wave impact, reduce the wave run-up and overtopping, and protect the rear buildings. In addition, under the same still water depth and significant wave height, the amount of overtopped water under regular waves is larger than that under irregular waves. With the increase of the still water depth and significant wave height, the overtopped water increases, which means that when the storm surge occurs, damage on the breakwater under the high tide level is greater than that under the low tide level. Besides, the fence plate can effectively dissipate energy and reduce the overtopping volume by generating eddy current in the cavity. Considering the stability and the energy dissipation capacity of the fence plate, it is suggested that a gap ratio of 50% is reasonable.

Termite mound formation reduces the abundance and diversity of soil resistomes - Zhen‐Zhen Yan; Qing‐Lin Chen; Chao‐Yu Li; Bao‐Anh Thi Nguyen; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Ji‐Zheng He; Hang‐Wei Hu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Termites are pivotal ecosystem engineers in tropical and subtropical habitats, where they construct massive nests (‘mounds’) that substantially modify soil properties and promote nutrient cycling. Yet, little is known about the roles of termite nesting activity in regulating the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the major Global Health challenges. Here, we conducted a large‐scale (> 1500 km) investigation in northern Australia and found distinct resistome profiles in termite mounds and bulk soils. By profiling a wide spectrum of ARGs, we found that the abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were significantly lower in termite mounds than in bulk soils ( P P

Precipitation increases the abundance of fungal plant pathogens in Eucalyptus phyllosphere - Qing‐Lin Chen; Hang‐Wei Hu; Zhen‐Zhen Yan; Chao‐Yu Li; Bao‐Anh Thi Nguyen; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Ji‐Zheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Understanding the current and future distributions of plant pathogens is critical to predict the plant performance and related economic benefits in the changing environment. Yet, little is known about the roles of environmental drivers in shaping the profiles of fungal plant pathogens in phyllosphere, an important habitat of microbiomes on Earth. Here, using a large‐scale investigation of Eucalyptus phyllospheric microbiomes in Australia and the multiple linear regression model, we show that precipitation is the most important predictor of fungal taxonomic diversity and abundance. The abundance of fungal plant pathogens in phyllosphere exhibited a positive linear relationship with precipitation. With this empirical dataset, we constructed current and future atlases of phyllosphere plant pathogens to estimate their spatial distributions under different climate change scenarios. Our atlases indicate that the abundance of fungal plant pathogens would increase especially in the coastal regions with up to 100‐fold increase compared with the current abundance. These findings advance our understanding of the distributions of fungal plant pathogens in phyllospheric microbiomes under the climate change, which can improve our ability to predict and mitigate their impacts on plant productivity and economic losses.

Trophic Plasticity of Bombay Duck (Harpadon nehereus) in the South-Central East China Sea Based on Stable Isotope Evidence - Pu-Qing Song; Hu-Shun Zhang; Xin-Qing Zheng; Yuan-Yuan Li; Long-Shan Lin; Yuan Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
High trophic plasticity is often invoked to explain the successful expansion of many aquatic species. Bombay duck (BD) outcompete other traditionally commercial fishes in the East China Sea (ECS) in recent years, displaying a continuous and sharp increase of catches, however, little is known whether the competition advantage of BD was related to its trophic plasticity. Using stable isotope analysis (SIA), we investigated the trophic ecology of BD in the south-central ECS in two periods. Significant differences in δ 13 C and δ 15 N values were found between sampling months and among body sizes. Modal (95% credibility limits) estimation showed that BD’s trophic position (TP) gradually increased from 3.56 (3.31–3.82) in G1 (120–150 mm for body size) to 4.09 (3.69–4.50) in G5 (241–270 mm) in November, and from 3.37 (2.92–3.88) in G2 (151–180 mm) to 3.66 (3.07–4.23) in G4 (211–240 mm) in April, respectively, suggesting obvious ontogenetic variation of δ 15 N and TP. More importantly, the TP of BD within the same body size showed wide amplitude, indicating BD possess high trophic plasticity, and can capture prey from low to high trophic levels. Further quantitative analysis based on the MixSIAR model showed that BD mainly fed on zooplankton and fish, but its feeding habit was characterized by the consumption of gradually reduced zooplankton and increased fish associated with increased body size. Interestingly, the fish’s contribution to BD showed obvious seasonal variation. It can be explained by varied food availability in ECS. Relatively low fish prey in April forced BD to adjust its diet, adding the ingestion of shrimps and cephalopods corresponding to temporal variations in food availability. The present study provides the evidence that high trophic plasticity exists in the feeding strategy of BD, which is reflected in the ability to adjust the feeding preference according to nutritional needs and food environmental changes; thus, it is competitively advantageous and may partly explain why BD is becoming the predominant species and displays an extensive distribution in the ECS.

Ambient climate determines the directional trend of community stability under warming and grazing - Peipei Liu; Wangwang Lv; Jianping Sun; Caiyun Luo; Zhenhua Zhang; Xiaoxue Zhu; Xingwu Lin; Jichuang Duan; Guangping Xu; Xiaofeng Chang; Yigang Hu; Qiaoyan Lin; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Changes in ecological processes over time in ambient treatments are often larger than the responses to manipulative treatments in climate change experiments. However, the impacts of human‐driven environmental changes on the stability of natural grasslands have been typically assessed by comparing differences between manipulative plots and reference plots. Little is known about whether or how ambient climate regulates the effects of manipulative treatments and their underlying mechanisms. We collected two datasets, one a 36‐year long‐term observational dataset from 1983 to 2018, and the other a 10‐year manipulative asymmetric warming and grazing experiment using infrared heaters with moderate grazing from 2006 to 2015 in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau. The 36‐year observational dataset shows that there was a nonlinear response of community stability to ambient temperature with a positive relationship between them due to an increase in ambient temperature in the first 25 years and then a decrease in ambient temperature thereafter. Warming and grazing decreased community stability with experiment duration through an increase in legume cover and a decrease in species asynchrony, which was due to the decreasing background temperature through time during the 10‐year experiment period. Moreover, the temperature sensitivity of community stability was higher under the ambient treatment than under the manipulative treatments. Therefore, our results suggested that ambient climate may control the directional trend of community stability while manipulative treatments may determine the temperature sensitivity of the response of community stability to climate relative to the ambient treatment. Our study emphasizes the importance of the context dependency of the response of community stability to human‐driven environmental changes.

In a globalized world, parasites are often brought in contact with new potential hosts. When parasites successfully shift host, severe diseases can emerge at a large cost to society. However, the evolutionary processes leading to successful shifts are rarely understood, hindering risk assessment, prevention, or mitigation of their effects. Here, we screened populations of Varroa destructor , an ectoparasitic mite of the honeybee genus Apis , to investigate their genetic structure and reproductive potential on new and original hosts. From the patterns identified, we deduce the factors that influenced the macro- and microevolutionary processes that led to the structure observed. Among the mite variants identified, we found two genetically similar populations that differed in their reproductive abilities and thus in their host specificity. These lineages could interbreed, which represents a threat due to the possible increased virulence of the parasite on its original host. However, interbreeding was unidirectional from the host-shifted to the nonshifted native mites and could thus lead to speciation of the former. The results improve our understanding of the processes affecting the population structure and evolution of this economically important mite genus and suggest that introgression between shifted and nonshifted lineages may endanger the original host.

Interaction between the cell walls of microalgal host and fungal carbohydrate‐activate enzymes is essential for the pathogenic parasitism process - Juan Lin; Hailong Yan; Liang Zhao; Yanhua Li; Bahareh Nahidian; Mianmian Zhu; Qiang Hu; Danxiang Han (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Fungi can parasitize microalgae, exerting profound impacts on both the aquatic ecosystems and microalgal mass cultures. In this study, the unicellular green alga Haematococcus pluvialis and the blastocladialean fungus Paraphysoderma sedebokerense were used as a model system to address the mechanisms underlying the fungal parasitism on the algal host. High‐throughput metabolic assay indicated that P . sedebokerense can utilize several carbon sources with a preference for mannose, glucose and their oligosaccharides, which was compatible with the profile of the host algal cell walls enriched with glucan and mannan. The results of dual transcriptomics analysis suggested that P . sedebokerense can upregulate a large number of putative carbohydrate‐activate enzymes (CAZymes) encoding genes, including those coding for the endo‐1,4‐β‐glucanase and endo‐1,4‐β‐mannanase during the infection process. The cell walls of H . pluvialis can be decomposed by both P . sedebokerense and commercial CAZymes (e.g. cellulase and endo‐1,4‐β‐mannanase) to produce mannooligomers, while several putative parasitism‐related genes of P . sedebokerense can be in turn upregulated by mannooligomers. In addition, the parasitism can be blocked by interfering the selected CAZymes including glucanase, mannanase and lysozyme with the specific inhibitors, which provided a framework for screening suitable compounds for pathogen mitigation in algal mass culture.

Disturbance-Mediated Changes in Coral Reef Habitat Provoke a Positive Feeding Response in a Major Coral Reef Detritivore, Ctenochaetus striatus - Xianzhi Lin; Simin Hu; Yong Liu; Li Zhang; Hui Huang; Sheng Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Coral reefs are undergoing global phase shifts from coral-dominated to algae-dominated stages. The negative effects of this substratum shift on the diversity and abundance of fish have been well documented, but the influence on fish feeding is less studied, which may limit a deeper understanding of trophic pathways in such a disturbed system. In this study, we investigated the feeding response of a numerically dominant fish species Ctenochaetus striatus to different substrate types, including hard coral, short algal turfs (SATs, <5 mm), and long algal turfs (LATs, >5 mm), on reefs in the South China Sea. The biomass of C. striatus showed an inverted U-shaped relationship with coral coverage and a significant positive correlation with SAT coverage ( p < 0.05), indicating that rising SAT coverage associated with moderate coral loss provoked a feeding response in C. striatus . Stomach contents of C. striatus , analyzed using high-throughput sequencing (HTS), were dominated by algal sequences (relative read abundance, RRA > 80.0%), including macroalgae, filamentous algae, and microalgae (e.g., Symbiodinium and Prorocentrum ). The sequence number and diversity of microalgae (mainly dinoflagellates) tended to be abundant (RRA 13.5–36.5%) with increased SAT cover, but brown algae sequences (RRA 17.2–57.8%) or green algae sequences (RRA > 50.7% except one site) dominated the stomach content DNA in reefs with high coral cover and high LAT or macroalgal cover, respectively. Considering the limited ability of C. striatus to remove mature algae, macroalgal DNA might be from algal debris. Our results indicate that C. striatus populations respond positively to conditions of moderate coral loss through increases in body condition identified as increased biomass. These responses are correlated to the expansion of SAT’s as coral cover declined, however, this relationship reverses if coral loss is high due to the succession of LAT’s over SAT’s and a corresponding decrease in the quality of food available. Our use of HTS has nevertheless identified the importance of detritivory in the flow of energy through reefs in the Anthropocene which are increasingly becoming depauperate in hard coral.

The Characteristic of Critical Genes in Neuroendocrine System and Their Regulation on Food Habit Transition and Metamorphosis of Veined Rapa Whelk Rapana venosa (Valenciennes, 1846) - Mei-Jie Yang; Jie Feng; Hao Song; Zheng-Lin Yu; Pu Shi; Jian Liang; Zhi Hu; Cong Zhou; Xiao-Lin Wang; Tao Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Metamorphosis is a critical developmental event in mollusks, and neuroendocrine system plays an essential role in this process. Rapana venosa is an economically important shellfish in China, but the artificial technology of R. venosa aquaculture is limited by metamorphosis. As a carnivorous gastropod, food habit transition makes the mechanism of R. venosa metamorphosis more complex. To investigate the changes in the neuroendocrine system and to reveal its role in regulating the food habit transition and metamorphosis of R. venosa , we cloned the cDNA sequences encoding 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor ( Rv-5HTR ), nitric oxide synthetase ( Rv-NOS ) and cholecystokinin receptor ( Rv-CCKR ), and investigated their expression by quantitative real-time PCR analysis, and explore the spatio-temporal changes of 5-HT protein expression using Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. The expression of the three geens was significantly increased in the early intramembrane veliger stage, which indicates that the three genes are related to the development of digestive system. Additionally, expression of the three genes was decreased after metamorphosis, while Rv-NOS and Rv-CCKR were increasingly expressed in competent larvae, which may help the larvae find suitable environments and promote digestive system development for metamorphosis, and the result of 5-HT IHC analysis also reflects the development of neuroendocrine system. Furthermore, results show that CCK can effect the expression of digestive enzyme, NOS and 5-HT receptor. Finally, based on the present results, we hypothesized that CCK and CCK receptor may be critical regulatory factors of food habit transition and metamorphosis. These results might provide information on the development of neuroendocrine system of R. venosa , and new insight into the regulation of the food habit transition and metamorphosis of gastropods.

Kelp aquaculture in China: a retrospective and future prospects - Zi‐Min Hu; Ti‐Feng Shan; Jie Zhang; Quan‐Sheng Zhang; Alan T. Critchley; Han‐Gil Choi; Norishige Yotsukura; Fu‐Li Liu; De‐Lin Duan (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2021)
Globally, China has the largest scale of kelp cultivation and production operations. However, its kelp aquaculture industry is suffering from declining germplasm diversity, degradation of agronomic traits, the presence of polluted environments, changing ocean conditions and increasing anthropological interference. This review covers two of the most commercially important kelp species in China, viz. Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida . It summarizes the history of their cultivation, production, economic and ecological benefits, their breeding programmes (e.g. inter‐ and intra‐specific hybridization and marker‐assisted selection) and efforts towards population genetic diversity and conservation. The article focuses on three significant challenges, for example genetic cross‐contamination between the wild and farmed kelp populations, ocean warming and ocean acidification. Accordingly, we outline the steps required to provide several intervention measures, for example (i) collection and preservation of wild and cultivated kelp germplasm; (ii) selection of suitable cultivation sites under changing environmental conditions; (iii) developing stress‐resistant cultivars; and finally, (iv) adoption of innovative cultivation models. The review concludes with genome‐based, designs for molecular breeding and calls for the establishment of an East Asian Kelp Consortium (EAKC). Collectively, the Chinese kelp industry could provide beneficial goods and services, for example bioenergy to fine chemicals and environmental benefits, such as carbon capture, pH amelioration and provision of habitat for many other marine species of commercial value. The strategies proposed in this article thus have the potential to not only improve but also reinvigorate the kelp industry in China and nearby Japan and Korea, in the context of both environmental health and economic benefits.

Dynamics of the spatiotemporal morphology of Mei-yu fronts: an initial survey - Yang Hu; Yi Deng; Yanluan Lin; Zhimin Zhou; Chunguang Cui; Xiquan Dong (Climate Dynamics, 2021)
Mei-yu fronts are often accompanied with prominent diabatic heating due to the development of frontal clouds and rain bands. The direct effect and relative importance of diabatic heating on the spatiotemporal morphology of Mei-yu fronts however remain unclear. Here a new frontogenesis function is derived to isolate the effect of diabatic heating and this function is then applied to the latest high resolution reanalysis product ERA5 to conduct an initial survey of dynamic and thermodynamic processes driving the intensity and structure evolutions of three typical Mei-yu fronts. It is found that the direct effect of latent heating (moisture depletion) is always frontogenetical (frontolytical) in the pre-frontal and frontal zone throughout the lifecycle of the front with latent heating (moisture depletion) in general dominates the front intensification (dissipation). Tilting is another critical process that turns the vertical gradient of equivalent potential temperature into horizontal gradient leading to frontogenesis during the front development stage, and, after the release of convective instability ahead of the front, flattens the front surface leading to frontolysis during the front decaying stage. Therefore titling maintains consistently positive contributions to the evolution of a Mei-yu front and its importance depends highly on the convective intensity near the front. The deformation effect appears frontogenetical but carries a much smaller weight compared to diabatic heating, moisture depletion and tilting. The structure evolutions of the three Mei-yu fronts studied here exhibit two distinct patterns: “bending and breaking”, and “moving and rotating”. Both patterns are dominated by the front propagation (i.e., frontogenesis through air parcels), further highlighting the critical roles played by diabatic heating, moisture depletion and titling in determining the spatiotemporal characteristics of Mei-yu fronts. As these three processes are all closely tied to updrafts, clouds and precipitation near the fronts, improved representations of clouds and convection are needed to accurately depict their feedbacks to frontal evolutions and ultimately achieve better predictions of heavy rainfall and floods associated with Mei-yu fronts.

Termite mounds reduce soil microbial diversity by filtering rare microbial taxa - Qing‐Lin Chen; Hang‐Wei Hu; Zhen‐Zhen Yan; Chao‐Yu Li; Bao‐Anh Thi Nguyen; Yong Zheng; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Ji‐Zheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Termites are ubiquitous insects in tropical and subtropical habitats, and some of them construct massive nests (‘mounds’), which substantially promote substrate heterogeneity by altering soil properties. Yet, the role of termite nesting process in regulating the distribution and diversity of soil microbial communities remains poorly understood, which introduces uncertainty in predictions of ecosystem functions of termite mounds in a changing environment. Here, by using amplicon sequencing, we conducted a survey of 134 termite mounds across >1500 km in northern Australia and found that termite mounds significantly differed from bulk soils in the microbial diversity and community compositions. Compared with bulk soils, termite nesting process decreased the microbial diversity and the relative abundance of rare taxa. Rare taxa had a narrower habitat niche breadth than dominant taxa and might be easier to be filtered by the potential intensive microbial competition during the nesting processes. We further demonstrated that the shift in pH induced by termite nesting process was a major driver shaping the microbial community profiles in termite mounds. Together, our work provides novel evidence that termite nesting is an important process in regulating soil microbial diversity, which advances our understanding of the functioning of termite mounds.

Fertilization alters protistan consumers and parasites in crop‐associated microbiomes - Anqi Sun; Xiao‐Yan Jiao; Qinglin Chen; Pankaj Trivedi; Zixin Li; Fangfang Li; Yong Zheng; Yongxin Lin; Hang‐Wei Hu; Ji‐Zheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Crop plants carry an enormous diversity of microbiota that provide massive benefits to hosts. Protists, as the main microbial consumers and a pivotal driver of biogeochemical cycling processes, remain largely understudied in the plant microbiome. Here, we characterized the diversity and composition of protists in sorghum leaf phyllosphere, and rhizosphere and bulk soils, collected from an 8‐year field experiment with multiple fertilization regimes. Phyllosphere was an important habitat for protists, dominated by Rhizaria, Alveolata and Amoebozoa. Rhizosphere and bulk soils had a significantly higher diversity of protists than the phyllosphere, and the protistan community structure significantly differed among the three plant–soil compartments. Fertilization significantly altered specific functional groups of protistan consumers and parasites. Variation partitioning models revealed that soil properties, bacteria and fungi predicted a significant proportion of the variation in the protistan communities. Changes in protists may in turn significantly alter the compositions of bacterial and fungal communities from the top‐down control in food webs. Altogether, we provide novel evidence that fertilization significantly affects the functional groups of protistan consumers and parasites in crop‐associated microbiomes, which have implications for the potential changes in their ecological functions under intensive agricultural managements.

The involvement of α‐proteobacteria Phenylobacterium in maintaining the dominance of toxic Microcystis blooms in Lake Taihu, China - Jun Zuo; Lili Hu; Wei Shen; Jiaying Zeng; Lin Li; Lirong Song; Nanqin Gan (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Lake Taihu in China has suffered serious harmful cyanobacterial blooms for decades. The algal blooms threaten the ecological sustainability, drinking water safety, and human health. Although the roles of abiotic factors (such as water temperature and nutrient loading) in promoting Microcystis blooms have been well studied, the importance of biotic factors (e.g. bacterial community) in promoting and meditating Microcystis blooms remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the ecological dynamics of bacterial community, the ratio of toxic Microcystis , as well as microcystin in Lake Taihu. High‐throughput 16S rRNA sequencing and principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the bacteria community compositions (BCCs) clustered into three groups, the partitioning of which corresponded to that of groups according to the toxic profiles (the ratio of toxic Microcystis to total Microcystis , and the microcystin concentrations) of the samples. Further Spearman's correlation network showed that the α‐proteobacteria Phenylobacterium strongly positively correlated with the toxic profiles. Subsequent laboratory chemostats experiments demonstrated that three Phenylobacterium strains promoted the dominance of the toxic Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806 when co‐culturing with the non‐toxic PCC7806 mcyB − mutant. Taken together, our data suggested that the α‐proteobacteria Phenylobacterium may play a vital role in the maintenance of toxic Microcystis dominance in Lake Taihu.

Impact of the March Arctic Oscillation on the South China Sea summer monsoon onset - Peng Hu; Wen Chen; Shangfeng Chen; Yuyun Liu; Lin Wang; Ruping Huang (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
This study reveals that the South China Sea summer monsoon (SCSSM) onset is closely linked to the preceding March Arctic oscillation (AO), the dominant mode of atmospheric circulation over extratropical Northern Hemisphere. The physical processes for the impact of the March AO on the SCSSM onset are further examined. March AO leads to an anomalous low‐level cyclone over subtropical western North Pacific (WNP) via eddy–mean flow interaction. The southwesterly wind anomalies to the southeastern side of the anomalous cyclone weaken the climatological trade winds, which contribute to warm sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over tropical western‐central North Pacific via reduction of surface evaporation and latent heat flux. These warm SST anomalies excite an atmospheric Rossby wave response and reinforce the anomalous cyclone over the subtropical WNP. Via the above positive atmosphere–ocean interaction, the anomalous cyclone induced by the March AO could persist through the whole spring and shift equatorward. This anomalous cyclone creates favourable environment for the SCSSM onset via weakening the WNP subtropical high and is conducive to the transition of the low‐level zonal wind. Further analysis indicates that the March AO‐SCSSM onset relationship is independent of El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO). This result suggests that, besides the dominant tropical system (i.e., ENSO), interannual variation of the SCSSM onset also has a close relation with the dominant extratropical atmospheric system (i.e., AO), which may provide additional source for the seasonal prediction of the monsoon onset.

Cortical 3-hinges could serve as hubs in cortico-cortical connective network - Tuo Zhang; Xiao Li; Xi Jiang; Fangfei Ge; Shu Zhang; Lin Zhao; Huan Liu; Ying Huang; Xianqiao Wang; Jian Yang; Lei Guo; Xiaoping Hu; et al. (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2020)
Mapping the relation between cortical convolution and structural/functional brain architectures could provide deep insights into the mechanisms of brain development, evolution and diseases. In our previous studies, we found a unique gyral folding pattern, termed a 3-hinge, which was defined as the conjunction of three gyral crests. The uniqueness of the 3-hinge was evidenced by its thicker cortex and stronger fiber connections than other gyral regions. However, the role that 3-hinges play in cortico-cortical connective architecture remains unclear. To this end, we conducted MRI studies by constructing structural cortico-cortical connective networks based on a fine-granular cortical parcellation, the parcels of which were automatically labeled as 3-hinge, 2-hinge (ordinary gyrus) or sulcus. On human brains, 3-hinges possess significantly higher degrees, strengths and betweennesses than 2-hinges, suggesting that 3-hinges could serve more like hubs in the cortico-cortical connective network. This hypothesis gains supports from human functional network analyses, in which 3-hinges are involved in more global functional networks than ordinary gyri. In addition, 3-hinges could serve as ‘connector’ hubs rather than ‘provincial’ hubs and they account for a dominant proportion of nodes in the high-level ‘backbone’ of the network. These structural results are reproduced on chimpanzee and macaque brains, while the roles of 3-hinges as hubs become more pronounced in higher order primates. Our new findings could provide a new window to the relation between cortical convolution, anatomical connection and brain function.

Impact of the September Silk Road Pattern on the South China Sea summer monsoon withdrawal - Peng Hu; Wen Chen; Shangfeng Chen; Yuyun Liu; Lin Wang; Ruping Huang (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The Silk Road Pattern (SRP) is the dominant teleconnection in the upper troposphere and is closely linked to the Asian summer monsoon in both India and subtropical East Asia. This study reveals a close interannual relationship between the SRP in September and the South China Sea (SCS) summer monsoon (SCSSM) withdrawal. During positive phases of the September SRP (characterized by negative geopotential height anomalies over eastern Europe and central China and positive geopotential height anomalies over western Europe, western and central Asia, and Northeast Asia), withdrawal of the SCSSM tends to be later than normal. The September SRP could impact the SCSSM withdrawal via modulating atmospheric circulation anomalies over the SCS. In particular, the notable low‐level cyclonic anomaly over central China related to the positive phase of the September SRP induces significant southwesterly wind anomalies over the northern SCS, which favour a late withdrawal of the SCSSM. This study suggests that besides the tropical factors that have been identified by previous studies, the climate systems over mid‐latitudes may also play an important role in contributing to interannual variability of the SCSSM withdrawal.

Nitrogen‐induced acidification, not N‐nutrient, dominates suppressive N effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi - Shang Pan; Yang Wang; Yunpeng Qiu; Dima Chen; Lin Zhang; Chenglong Ye; Hui Guo; Weixing Zhu; Aiqun Chen; Guohua Xu; Yi Zhang; Yongfei Bai; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiosis with most terrestrial plant roots, obtaining photosynthates in return for mineral nutrients. Ecological theories based on the economics of trading partnership predict that nutrient enrichment would suppress AMF. Experimental results from nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) additions, however, were highly variable, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show distinct AMF responses to soil N:P stoichiometry manipulations via gradients of long‐term N and P additions in a Mongolian steppe. A complementary experiment with an acid addition gradient was designed to help tease apart the effect of N‐induced acidification from N nutrient. AMF root colonization and extraradical fungal biomass progressively decreased along the P gradient under two distinct host plant species, suggesting a carbon (C)‐P tradeoff. In contrast, low to moderate N inputs increased both AMF parameters, corresponding to the increasing N:P ratio. Yet, high N inputs reduced AMF colonization and biomass, and the magnitudes of N‐led inhibition were similar to those under acid additions that induced comparable changes in soil pH. Structural equation modeling further showed that while soil N:P stoichiometry primarily controlled the effect of P addition on AMF, N‐induced soil acidity overtook the N:P stoichiometry under high N inputs and dominated the effects of reactive N on AMF. In addition, AMF community composition in roots was more dependent on host plants and unresponsive to changes in soil nutrients. We further proposed a comprehensive framework that integrates biological and geochemical effects of reactive N and P inputs on AMF. Together, these results indicate that while the C‐P tradeoff controls P suppression of AMF, N‐induced acidification dominates the N inhibition. Our findings suggest that incorporation of geochemical impacts of N and P inputs would facilitate modeling efforts to project mycorrhizal impact on plant interactions and soil C balance under future nutrient enrichment scenarios.

Aquaculture is a fast‐growing and rapidly expanding industry in the world. Probiotics are widely used in aquaculture and have provided benefits to aquatic animal health, and it is also a promising alternative to antibiotics for control of fish diseases. With the development of biotechnology, new expression systems and novel techniques for the surface display of heterologous proteins in surface of probiotics cells have been developed. This review provides an overview of the systems and strategies for displaying functional proteins on the surface of probiotics commonly used in aquaculture, which are Bacillus subtilis , Bacillus thuringiensis , lactic acid bacteria represented by Lactococcus lactis and yeast. Their applications in aquaculture especially for oral vaccine development afforded by this technology and prospects and challenges associated with this technology are also highlighted.
