Global environmental costs of China's thirst for milk - Zhaohai Bai; Michael R. F. Lee; Lin Ma; Stewart Ledgard; Oene Oenema; Gerard L. Velthof; Wenqi Ma; Mengchu Guo; Zhanqing Zhao; Sha Wei; Shengli Li; Xia Liu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2018)
China has an ever‐increasing thirst for milk, with a predicted 3.2‐fold increase in demand by 2050 compared to the production level in 2010. What are the environmental implications of meeting this demand, and what is the preferred pathway? We addressed these questions by using a nexus approach, to examine the interdependencies of increasing milk consumption in China by 2050 and its global impacts, under different scenarios of domestic milk production and importation. Meeting China's milk demand in a business as usual scenario will increase global dairy‐related (China and the leading milk exporting regions) greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions by 35% (from 565 to 764 Tg CO 2eq ) and land use for dairy feed production by 32% (from 84 to 111 million ha) compared to 2010, while reactive nitrogen losses from the dairy sector will increase by 48% (from 3.6 to 5.4 Tg nitrogen). Producing all additional milk in China with current technology will greatly increase animal feed import; from 1.9 to 8.5 Tg for concentrates and from 1.0 to 6.2 Tg for forage (alfalfa). In addition, it will increase domestic dairy related GHG emissions by 2.2 times compared to 2010 levels. Importing the extra milk will transfer the environmental burden from China to milk exporting countries; current dairy exporting countries may be unable to produce all additional milk due to physical limitations or environmental preferences/legislation. For example, the farmland area for cattle‐feed production in New Zealand would have to increase by more than 57% (1.3 million ha) and that in Europe by more than 39% (15 million ha), while GHG emissions and nitrogen losses would increase roughly proportionally with the increase of farmland in both regions. We propose that a more sustainable dairy future will rely on high milk demanding regions (such as China) improving their domestic milk and feed production efficiencies up to the level of leading milk producing countries. This will decrease the global dairy related GHG emissions and land use by 12% (90 Tg CO 2eq reduction) and 30% (34 million ha land reduction) compared to the business as usual scenario, respectively. However, this still represents an increase in total GHG emissions of 19% whereas land use will decrease by 8% when compared with 2010 levels, respectively.

A late Pleistocene marine glacial refugium in the south‐west of Hainan Island, China: Phylogeographical insights from the brown alga Sargassum polycystum - Zi‐Min Hu; Attachai Kantachumpoo; Ruo‐Yu Liu; Zhong‐Min Sun; Jian‐Ting Yao; Teruhisa Komatsu; Shinya Uwai; De‐Lin Duan (Journal of Biogeography, 2018)
Aim Hainan Island, southern China, is characterized by rich diversity and endemism of marine organisms, yet the underpinning mechanisms and processes contributing to speciation and diversification are poorly understood. Here, the brown alga Sargassum polycystum is used as a model to identify putative marine glacial refugia and explore biogeographical patterns driven by climate change in the late Pleistocene ice ages. Location South‐East Asia. Methods Mitochondrial cox1 and cox3 and nuclear internal transcribed spacer‐2 ( ITS 2) were obtained from 310, 325 and 313 individuals of S. polycystum (23 localities), respectively. Phylogenetic trees (maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference) and haplotype/ribotype networks were constructed to elucidate phylogeographical patterns. Analysis of molecular variance ( AMOVA ), neutrality tests (Tajima's D and Fu & Li's D* ), current (θ π ) and historical (θ w ) genetic diversities and extended Bayesian skyline plots ( EBSP ) were used to estimate historical demography. Results The populations from the south‐west of Hainan Island harboured much higher genetic diversity and unique endemism in comparison with other populations in the distribution range. Sargassum polycystum experienced relatively long‐term stable population size followed by a continued period of demographic expansion in the late Pleistocene. Main conclusions Our phylogeographical evidence revealed the existence of a previously unidentified marine refugium specific to S. polycystum in the south‐west of Hainan Island, China (the Central Depression of the Yinggehai Basin), along with a possible secondary refugium around the Bali Island, Indonesia. These biogeographical findings provide important insights regarding speciation, adaptation and evolution of marine organisms in South‐East Asia and the conservation of unique biodiversity under climate change.

Occurrence of 25 pharmaceuticals in Taihu Lake and their removal from two urban drinking water treatment plants and a constructed wetland - Xia-Lin Hu; Yi-Fan Bao; Jun-Jian Hu; You-Yu Liu; Da-Qiang Yin (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2017)
Pharmaceuticals in drinking water sources have raised significant concerns due to their persistent input and potential human health risks. The seasonal occurrence of 25 pharmaceuticals including 23 antibiotics, paracetamol (PAR), and carbamazepine (CMZ) in Taihu Lake was investigated; meanwhile, the distribution and removal of these pharmaceuticals in two drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) and a constructed wetland were evaluated. A high detection frequency (>70%) in the Taihu Lake was observed for nearly all the 25 pharmaceutics. Chlortetracycline (234.7 ng L −1 ), chloramphenicol (27.1 ng L −1 ), erythromycin (72.6 ng L −1 ), PAR (71.7 ng L −1 ), and CMZP (23.6 ng L −1 ) are compounds with both a high detection frequency (100%) and the highest concentrations, suggesting their wide use in the Taihu Basin. Higher concentrations of chloramphenicols, macrolides, PAR, and CMZP were observed in dry season than in wet season, probably due to the low flow conditions of the lake in winter and the properties of pharmaceuticals. The overall contamination levels of antibiotic pharmaceutics (0.2–74.9 ng L −1 ) in the Taihu Lake were lower than or comparable to those reported worldwide. However, for nonantibiotic pharmaceutics, PAR (45.0 ng L −1 ) and CMZP (14.5 ng L −1 ), significantly higher concentrations were observed in the Taihu Lake than at a global scale. High detection frequencies of 25 pharmaceuticals were observed in both the two DWTPs (100%) and the wetland (>60%) except for florfenicol and sulfapyridine. The removal efficacies of the studied pharmaceuticals in DWTP B with advanced treatment processes including ozonation and granular activated carbon filtration (16.7–100%) were superior to DWTP A with conventional treatment processes (2.9–100%), except for sulfonamides. Wetland C with the constructed root channel technology was efficient (24.2–100%) for removing most pharmaceuticals. This work suggests that the application of cost-effective technologies such as constructed wetlands should be considered as an efficient alternative for removing pharmaceuticals from water supply sources.

(Molecular Ecology, 2017)
Low oxygen and temperature pose key physiological challenges for endotherms living on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau ( QTP ). Molecular adaptations to high‐altitude living have been detected in the genomes of Tibetans, their domesticated animals and a few wild species, but the contribution of transcriptional variation to altitudinal adaptation remains to be determined. Here we studied a top QTP predator, the saker falcon, and analysed how the transcriptome has become modified to cope with the stresses of hypoxia and hypothermia. Using a hierarchical design to study saker populations inhabiting grassland, steppe/desert and highland across Eurasia, we found that the QTP population is already distinct despite having colonized the Plateau cDNA level, but of only seventeen genes identified, three function in hypoxia and four in immune response. Our results show a significant role for RNA transcription: 50% of upregulated transcription factors were related to hypoxia responses, differentiated modules were significantly enriched for oxygen transport, and importantly, divergent EPAS 1 functional variants with a refined co‐expression network were identified. Conservative gene expression and relaxed immune gene variation may further reflect adaptation to hypothermia. Our results exemplify synergistic responses between DNA polymorphism and RNA expression diversity in coping with common stresses, underpinning the successful rapid colonization of a top predator onto the QTP . Importantly, molecular mechanisms underpinning highland adaptation involve relatively few genes, but are nonetheless more complex than previously thought and involve fine‐tuned transcriptional responses and genomic adaptation.

Oceanic currents drove population genetic connectivity of the brown alga Sargassum thunbergii in the north‐west Pacific - Jing‐Jing Li; Zi‐Min Hu; Xu Gao; Zhong‐Min Sun; Han‐Gil Choi; De‐Lin Duan; Hikaru Endo (Journal of Biogeography, 2017)
Aim Oceanic currents are among the most pervasive hydrodynamic features in shaping community dynamics, population connectivity and phylogeographical structure of intertidal species. Here, we test whether population structure and biogeographical gradients of genetic diversity in the brown alga Sargassum thunbergii are correlated with oceanic currents in the north‐west Pacific ( NWP ). Location North‐west Pacific (25.07°N–43.36°N). Methods Nuclear internal transcribed spacer‐2 and mitochondrial cox 3 sequences were obtained from 835 and 810 individuals of S. thunbergii respectively. Parsimony networks and phylogenetic trees (maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference) were constructed to evaluate phylogeographical structure. Pairwise F ST estimates and analyses of molecular variance ( AMOVA ) at various hierarchical levels (latitude, longitude, marine provinces, biogeographical basins and zoogeographical zones) were conducted to elucidate population genetic differentiation. migrate software was used to estimate the number of migrants between adjacent populations. Results Several lines of evidence indicate that S. thunbergii is characterized by shallow population structure. Geographical distances do not correlate with population pairwise genetic differentiations. The corridor/stepping‐stone model‐based coalescent analyses reveal high levels of asymmetric gene flow among S. thunbergii populations, with the numbers of migrants largely corresponding to the directions of oceanic current systems in the NWP . Genetic signatures also indicate that Jeju Island, Korea might act as a transition zone for dispersal of S. thunbergii in the NWP driven by the Kuroshio Current, thus facilitating subsequent transportation northward into the Sea of Japan and the Yellow‐Bohai Sea. Main conclusions Population genetic homogeneity in S. thunbergii was mainly structured by oceanic currents rather than palaeoclimatic events. Our study illustrates an important phylogeographical case of how coastal hydrodynamic factors contributed to population connectivity and geographical shifts of genetic diversity for marine organisms without a pelagic stage.

Historical biogeography of the short‐faced scorpionflies (Insecta: Mecoptera: Panorpodidae) - Gui‐Lin Hu; Bao‐Zhen Hua (Journal of Biogeography, 2016)
Aim Panorpodidae is a species‐poor family of Mecoptera, containing only 13 species in its two genera, Panorpodes and Brachypanorpa . They are found disjunctly in eastern Asia and North America, and this distribution has been deeply affected by the region's complex geological and climatic history. We calculate a time‐calibrated molecular phylogeny and use it to reconstruct the historical biogeography of the Panorpodidae, in order to explore the family's phylogenetic origin and the biogeographical process that resulted in the present disjunct distribution. Location Eastern Asia and North America. Methods Sequence data from mitochondrial ( COI and COII ) and nuclear DNA ( 28S and EF ‐1 α) were assembled from eight ingroup species. A phylogeny was reconstructed using maximum‐likelihood analysis and Bayesian inference, and divergence times were estimated using fossil‐calibrated Bayesian analysis. Ancestral areas were reconstructed with rasp 3.02, implementing dispersal–vicariance analysis, dispersal–extinction–cladogenesis and Bayesian binary MCMC . Results The initial diversification of Panorpodidae occurred during the Ypresian ( c. 53.9 Ma). A wide ancestral distribution in eastern Asia and western North America was inferred from the biogeographical analyses. The original range of Panorpodes across eastern Asia and western North America was fragmented by intercontinental vicariance. The genus Brachypanorpa was initially restricted to western North America and subsequently dispersed into eastern regions of North America. Main conclusions Two alternative biogeographical patterns were recovered. Either Panorpodidae was restricted to western North America in the Eocene and subsequently dispersed into eastern Asia or – more reasonably – it was widely distributed in western North America, eastern Asia and Europe during the Eocene. Our biogeographical reconstructions corroborate the significant role of vicariance in shaping the current eastern Asian and North American disjunction in Panorpodes . The geographical separation of western and eastern North American Brachypanorpa species is likely to have resulted from the uplift of the Rocky Mountains and the emergence of grassland biomes in central North America.

Drought tolerance as a driver of tropical forest assembly: resolving spatial signatures for multiple processes - M. K. Bartlett; Y. Zhang; J. Yang; N. Kreidler; S.‐W. Sun; L. Lin; Y.‐H. Hu; K.‐F. Cao; L. Sack (Ecology, 2016)
Spatial patterns in trait variation reflect underlying community assembly processes, allowing us to test hypotheses about their trait and environmental drivers by identifying the strongest correlates of characteristic spatial patterns. For 43 evergreen tree species (>1 cm dbh) in a 20‐ha seasonal tropical rainforest plot in Xishuangbanna, China, we compared the ability of drought‐tolerance traits, other physiological traits, and commonly measured functional traits to predict the spatial patterns expected from the assembly processes of habitat associations, niche‐overlap‐based competition, and hierarchical competition. We distinguished the neighborhood‐scale (0–20 m) patterns expected from competition from larger‐scale habitat associations with a wavelet method. Species’ drought tolerance and habitat variables related to soil water supply were strong drivers of habitat associations, and drought tolerance showed a significant spatial signal for influencing competition. Overall, the traits most strongly associated with habitat, as quantified using multivariate models, were leaf density, leaf turgor loss point (π tlp ; also known as the leaf wilting point), and stem hydraulic conductivity ( r 2 range for the best fit models = 0.27–0.36). At neighborhood scales, species spatial associations were positively correlated with similarity in π tlp , consistent with predictions for hierarchical competition. Although the correlation between π tlp and interspecific spatial associations was weak ( r 2

Phylogeographic structure and deep lineage diversification of the red alga Chondrus ocellatus Holmes in the Northwest Pacific - Zi‐Min Hu; Jing‐Jing Li; Zhong‐Min Sun; Jung‐Hyun Oak; Jie Zhang; Pablo Fresia; W. Stewart Grant; De‐Lin Duan (Molecular Ecology, 2015)
A major goal of phylogeographic analysis using molecular markers is to understand the ecological and historical variables that influence genetic diversity within a species. Here, we used sequences of the mitochondrial Cox 1 gene and nuclear internal transcribed spacer to reconstruct its phylogeography and demographic history of the intertidal red seaweed Chondrus ocellatus over most of its geographical range in the Northwest Pacific. We found three deeply separated lineages A, B and C, which diverged from one another in the early Pliocene–late Miocene ( c . 4.5–7.7 Ma). The remarkably deep divergences, both within and between lineages, appear to have resulted from ancient isolations, accelerated by random drift and limited genetic exchange between regions. The disjunct distributions of lineages A and C along the coasts of Japan may reflect divergence during isolation in scattered refugia. The distribution of lineage B, from the South China Sea to the Korean Peninsula, appears to reflect postglacial recolonizations of coastal habitats. These three lineages do not coincide with the three documented morphological formae in C. ocellatus , suggesting that additional cryptic species may exist in this taxon. Our study illustrates the interaction of environmental variability and demographic processes in producing lineage diversification in an intertidal seaweed and highlights the importance of phylogeographic approaches for discovering cryptic marine biodiversity.

Estimation of hourly and daily photosynthetically active radiation in Inner Mongolia, China, from 1990 to 2012 - Lunche Wang; Wei Gong; Lan Feng; Aiwen Lin; Bo Hu; Min Zhou (International Journal of Climatology, 2015)
Measurements of photosynthetically active radiation ( PAR ) in Inner Mongolia, China, from 2005 to 2012 were used to investigate its relationship with global solar radiation ( G ) under various sky conditions. Monthly mean daily PAR generally increased from 13.98 mol m −2 d −1 in December to 40.48 mol m −2 d −1 in June with annual mean value being 29.02 mol m −2 d −1 . Monthly daily F p (ratio of PAR to G) increased from 1.68 mol MJ ‐1 in December to 1.88 mol MJ ‐1 in August with annual average of 1.80 mol MJ ‐1 . Clearness index ( K t ) was used for characterizing sky conditions and it was discovered that clear skies (49.4%) were the dominated sky conditions. By studying the dependence of PAR on optical air mass, K t and cosine of solar zenith angle, two different models have been introduced and tested at four other sites in China. The model performances have been analysed and the daily PAR values during 1990–2012 at Inner Mongolia, China, have been reconstructed. It was found that PAR increased at the rate of 0.54 mol m −2 d −1 decade ‐1 since 1990 and the most evident increases were observed in summer (1.96 mol m −2 d −1 decade ‐1 ). However, PAR decreased at the rate of ‐0.37 mol m −2 d −1 decade ‐1 in spring during 1990–2012.

The concerns about the impact of the nervous necrosis virus ( NNV ) infections in wild fish have been raised. This paper presents the results of quarterly surveys of NNV in wild and cage‐reared marine fish from South China Sea. Samples of 892 wild fish belonging to 69 species and 381 cage‐reared fish belonging to 11 species were collected and were detected by seminested PCR and nested PCR . In the case of seminested PCR , the positive signal was detected in 3.0% and 3.1% samples of wild and cage‐reared fish, respectively. However, by nested RT ‐ PCR , the positive signal was observed in 42.3% and 63.0% samples of wild and cage‐reared fish, respectively. If the fish species were considered, the positive signal was detected in 21.7% and 72.7% species of wild and cage‐reared fish by seminested PCR assay, respectively. However, by nested RT ‐ PCR , the positive signal was observed in 65.2% and 100% species of wild and cage‐reared fish, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of the nested PCR products were determined. Phylogenetic tree showed that all the obtained viral isolates belonged to the red‐spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus ( RGNNV ) genotype. Thirty‐five species of the marine fish were the new hosts of NNV .

Genetic data from the red alga Palmaria palmata reveal a mid‐Pleistocene deep genetic split in the North Atlantic - Jing‐Jing Li; Zi‐Min Hu; De‐Lin Duan (Journal of Biogeography, 2015)
Aim We examined the biogeographical divergence, population‐level genetic differentiation and historical genetic exchange of the red macroalga Palmaria palmata in order to test whether populations on opposite sides of the North Atlantic underwent different demographic histories. Location North Atlantic rocky intertidal zones between c . 42 and 65° N. Methods We compiled mitochondrial (mt DNA ) cox 2–3 and plastid rpl 12– rps 31– rpl 9 sequences from 333 and 310 individuals of P. palmata , respectively. Median‐joining networks were constructed to evaluate the genetic relationships among haplotypes. Pairwise genetic differentiation ( F ST ) was calculated to elucidate population genetic structure. Spatial analysis of molecular variance was used to define genetic differentiation between groups. Extended Bayesian skyline plots and IM a 2 were used to estimate historical demography, genetic divergence and gene flow between regions. Results The mt DNA cox 2–3 haplotype network and phylogenetic trees consistently showed that North Atlantic P. palmata divided into two genetic lineages in association with mid‐Pleistocene (0.126–0.781 Ma) climate change. The demographic expansion time for European populations was c . 0.169–0.320 Ma. North American populations underwent demographic expansion c . 0.400 Ma but, for the populations in the Bay of Fundy, a sharp population‐size contraction happened c . 0.013–0.160 Ma. IM a 2 analysis revealed no gene flow between the European and North American coasts. Main conclusions Our results suggest significant genetic differentiation in P. palmata both at a trans‐Atlantic continental scale and at a European basin scale, and that multiple glacial refugia may have existed for this species. Long‐term isolation within the Atlantic may have contributed greatly to structuring the population‐genetic differentiation of P. palmata . Our results also stress the importance of combining different gene markers to understand the phylogeographical history and genetic structure of marine biota.
