Energy Consumption Modeling of Stereolithography‐Based Additive Manufacturing Toward Environmental Sustainability - Yiran Yang; Lin Li; Yayue Pan; Zeyi Sun (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2017)
Summary Additive manufacturing (AM), also referred as three‐dimensional printing or rapid prototyping, has been implemented in various areas as one of the most promising new manufacturing technologies in the past three decades. In addition to the growing public interest in developing AM into a potential mainstream manufacturing approach, increasing concerns on environmental sustainability, especially on energy consumption, have been presented. To date, research efforts have been dedicated to quantitatively measuring and analyzing the energy consumption of AM processes. Such efforts only covered partial types of AM processes and explored inadequate factors that might influence the energy consumption. In addition, energy consumption modeling for AM processes has not been comprehensively studied. To fill the research gap, this article presents a mathematical model for the energy consumption of stereolithography (SLA)‐based processes. To validate the mathematical model, experiments are conducted to measure the real energy consumption from an SLA‐based AM machine. The design of experiments method is adopted to examine the impacts of different parameters and their potential interactions on the overall energy consumption. For the purpose of minimization of the total energy consumption, a response optimization method is used to identify the optimal combination of parameters. The surface quality of the product built using a set of optimal parameters is obtained and compared with parts built with different parameter combinations. The comparison results show that the overall energy consumption from SLA‐based AM processes can be significantly reduced through optimal parameter setting, without observable product quality decay.

Acclimation of bloom‐forming and perennial seaweeds to elevated p CO 2 conserved across levels of environmental complexity - Dong Xu; Charlotte‐Elisa Schaum; Fan Lin; Ke Sun; James R. Munroe; Xiao W. Zhang; Xiao Fan; Lin H. Teng; Yi T. Wang; Zhi M. Zhuang; Naihao Ye (Global Change Biology, 2017)
Macroalgae contribute approximately 15% of the primary productivity in coastal marine ecosystems, fix up to 27.4 Tg of carbon per year, and provide important structural components for life in coastal waters. Despite this ecological and commercial importance, direct measurements and comparisons of the short‐term responses to elevated p CO 2 in seaweeds with different life‐history strategies are scarce. Here, we cultured several seaweed species (bloom forming/nonbloom forming/perennial/annual) in the laboratory, in tanks in an indoor mesocosm facility, and in coastal mesocosms under p CO 2 levels ranging from 400 to 2,000 μatm. We find that, across all scales of the experimental setup, ephemeral species of the genus Ulva increase their photosynthesis and growth rates in response to elevated p CO 2 the most, whereas longer‐lived perennial species show a smaller increase or a decrease. These differences in short‐term growth and photosynthesis rates are likely to give bloom‐forming green seaweeds a competitive advantage in mixed communities, and our results thus suggest that coastal seaweed assemblages in eutrophic waters may undergo an initial shift toward communities dominated by bloom‐forming, short‐lived seaweeds.

Segmental allotetraploidy generates extensive homoeologous expression rewiring and phenotypic diversity at the population level in rice - Yue Sun; Ying Wu; Chunwu Yang; Shuai Sun; Xiuyun Lin; Lixia Liu; Chunming Xu; Jonathan F. Wendel; Lei Gong; Bao Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2017)
Allopolyploidization, that is, concomitant merging and doubling of two or more divergent genomes in a common nucleus/cytoplasm, is known to instantly alter genomewide transcriptome dynamics, a phenomenon referred to as “transcriptomic shock.” However, the immediate effects of transcriptomic alteration in generating phenotypic diversity at the population level remain underinvestigated. Here, we employed the MassARRAY‐based Sequenom platform to assess and compare orthologous, allelic and homoeologous gene expression status in two tissues (leaf and root) of a set of randomly chosen individuals from populations of parental rice subspecies ( indica and japonica ), in vitro “hybrids” (parental mixes), reciprocal F1 hybrids and reciprocal tetraploids at the 5th‐selfed generation (S5). We show that hybridization and whole genome duplication ( WGD ) have opposing effects on allelic and homoeologous expression in the F1 hybrids and tetraploids, respectively. Whereas hybridization exerts strong attenuating effects on allelic expression differences in diploid hybrids, WGD augments the intrinsic parental differences and generates extensive and variable homoeolog content which triggers diversification in expression patterning among the tetraploid plants. Coupled with the vast phenotypic diversity observed among the tetraploid individuals, our results provide experimental evidence in support of the notion that allopolyploidy catalyses rapid phenotypic diversification in higher plants. Our data further suggest that largely stochastic homoeolog content reshuffling rather than alteration in total expression level may be an important feature of evolution in young segmental allopolyploids, which underlies rapid expression diversity at the population level.

The role of functional uniqueness and spatial aggregation in explaining rarity in trees - María Natalia Umaña; Xiangcheng Mi; Min Cao; Brian J.

Aim Determining the drivers of species rarity is fundamental for understanding and conserving biodiversity. Rarity of a given species within its community may arise due to exclusion by other ecologically similar species. Conversely, rare species may occupy habitats that are rare in the landscape or they may be ill‐suited to all available habitats. The first mechanism would lead to common and rare species occupying similar ecological space defined by functional traits. The second mechanism would result in common and rare species occupying dissimilar ecological space and spatial aggregation of rare species, either because they are specialists in rare habitats or because rare species tend to be dispersal limited. Here, we quantified the contribution of locally rare species to community functional richness and the spatial aggregation of species across tree communities world‐wide to address these hypotheses. Location Asia and the Americas. Time period 2002 to 2012 (period that considers the censuses for the plots used). Major taxa studied Angiosperm and Gymnosperm trees. Methods We compiled a dataset of functional traits from all the species present in eight tree plots around the world to evaluate the contribution of locally rare species to tree community functional richness using multi‐ and univariate approaches. We also quantified the spatial aggregation of individuals within species at several spatial scales as it relates to abundance. Results Locally rare tree species in temperate and tropical forests tended to be functionally unique and are consistently spatially clustered. Furthermore, there is no evidence that this pattern is driven by pioneer species being locally rare. Main conclusions This evidence shows that locally rare tree species disproportionately contribute to community functional richness, and we can therefore reject the hypothesis that locally rare species are suppressed by ecologically similar, but numerically dominant, species. Rather, locally rare species are likely to be specialists on spatially rare habitats or they may be ill‐suited to the locally available environments.

A meta‐analysis of fertilizer‐induced soil NO and combined NO +N 2 O emissions - Shuwei Liu; Feng Lin; Shuang Wu; Cheng Ji; Yi Sun; Yaguo Jin; Shuqing Li; Zhaofu Li; Jianwen Zou (Global Change Biology, 2017)
Soils are among the important sources of atmospheric nitric oxide ( NO ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O), acting as a critical role in atmospheric chemistry. Updated data derived from 114 peer‐reviewed publications with 520 field measurements were synthesized using meta‐analysis procedure to examine the N fertilizer‐induced soil NO and the combined NO +N 2 O emissions across global soils. Besides factors identified in earlier reviews, additional factors responsible for NO fluxes were fertilizer type, soil C/N ratio, crop residue incorporation, tillage, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, drought and biomass burning. When averaged across all measurements, soil NO ‐N fluxes were estimated to be 4.06 kg ha −1 yr −1 , with the greatest (9.75 kg ha −1 yr −1 ) in vegetable croplands and the lowest (0.11 kg ha −1 yr −1 ) in rice paddies. Soil NO emissions were more enhanced by synthetic N fertilizer (+38%), relative to organic (+20%) or mixed N (+18%) sources. Compared with synthetic N fertilizer alone, synthetic N fertilizer combined with nitrification inhibitors substantially reduced soil NO emissions by 81%. The global mean direct emission factors of N fertilizer for NO ( EF NO ) and combined NO +N 2 O ( EF c ) were estimated to be 1.16% and 2.58%, with 95% confidence intervals of 0.71–1.61% and 1.81–3.35%, respectively. Forests had the greatest EF NO (2.39%). Within the croplands, the EF NO (1.71%) and EF c (4.13%) were the greatest in vegetable cropping fields. Among different chemical N fertilizer varieties, ammonium nitrate had the greatest EF NO (2.93%) and EF c (5.97%). Some options such as organic instead of synthetic N fertilizer, decreasing N fertilizer input rate, nitrification inhibitor and low irrigation frequency could be adopted to mitigate soil NO emissions. More field measurements over multiyears are highly needed to minimize the estimate uncertainties and mitigate soil NO emissions, particularly in forests and vegetable croplands.

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.

GEM: a dynamic tracking model for mesoscale eddies in the ocean - Qiu-Yang Li; Liang Sun; Sheng-Fu Lin (Ocean Science, 2016)
The Genealogical Evolution Model (GEM) presented here is an efficient logical model used to track dynamic evolution of mesoscale eddies in the ocean. It can distinguish between different dynamic processes (e.g., merging and splitting) within a dynamic evolution pattern, which is difficult to accomplish using other tracking methods. To this end, the GEM first uses a two-dimensional (2-D) similarity vector (i.e., a pair of ratios of overlap area between two eddies to the area of each eddy) rather than a scalar to measure the similarity between eddies, which effectively solves the “missing eddy” problem (temporarily lost eddy in tracking). Second, for tracking when an eddy splits, the GEM uses both “parent” (the original eddy) and “child” (eddy split from parent) and the dynamic processes are described as the birth and death of different generations. Additionally, a new look-ahead approach with selection rules effectively simplifies computation and recording. All of the computational steps are linear and do not include iteration. Given the pixel number of the target region L, the maximum number of eddies M, the number N of look-ahead time steps, and the total number of time steps T, the total computer time is O(LM(N + 1)T). The tracking of each eddy is very smooth because we require that the snapshots of each eddy on adjacent days overlap one another. Although eddy splitting or merging is ubiquitous in the ocean, they have different geographic distributions in the North Pacific Ocean. Both the merging and splitting rates of the eddies are high, especially at the western boundary, in currents and in “eddy deserts”. The GEM is useful not only for satellite-based observational data, but also for numerical simulation outputs. It is potentially useful for studying dynamic processes in other related fields, e.g., the dynamics of cyclones in meteorology.

The deep‐sea glass sponge L ophophysema eversa harbours potential symbionts responsible for the nutrient conversions of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur - Ren‐Mao Tian; Jin Sun; Lin Cai; Wei‐Peng Zhang; Guo‐Wei Zhou; Jian‐Wen Qiu; Pei‐Yuan Qian (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary Glass sponge ( H exactinellida , P orifera ) is a special lineage because of its unique tissue organization and skeleton material. Structure and physiology of glass sponge have been extensively studied. However, our knowledge of the glass sponge‐associated microbial community and of the interaction with the host is rather limited. Here, we performed genomic studies on the microbial community in the glass sponge L ophophysema eversa in seamount. The microbial community was dominated by an ammonia‐oxidizing archaeum ( AOA ), a nitrite‐oxidizing bacterium ( NOB ) and a sulfur‐oxidizing bacterium ( SOB ), all of which were autotrophs. Genomic analysis on the AOA , NOB and SOB in the sponge revealed specific functional features of sponge‐associated microorganisms in comparison with the closely related free‐living relatives, including chemotaxis, phage defence, vitamin biosynthesis and nutrient uptake among others, which are related to ecological functions. The three autotrophs play essential roles in the cycles of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur in the microenvironment inside the sponge body, and they are considered to play symbiotic roles in the host as scavengers of toxic ammonia, nitrite and sulfide. Our study extends knowledge regarding the metabolism and the evolution of chemolithotrophs inside the invertebrate body.

Environmental switching during biofilm development in a cold seep system and functional determinants of species sorting - Weipeng Zhang; Renmao Tian; Yang Bo; Huiluo Cao; Lin Cai; Lianguo Chen; Guowei Zhou; Jin Sun; Xixiang Zhang; Abdulaziz Al‐Suwailem; Pei‐Yuan Qian (Molecular Ecology, 2016)
The functional basis for species sorting theory remains elusive, especially for microbial community assembly in deep‐sea environments. Using artificial surface‐based biofilm models, our recent work revealed taxonomic succession during biofilm development in a newly defined cold seep system, the Thuwal cold seeps II, which comprises a brine pool and the adjacent normal bottom water (NBW) to form a metacommunity via the potential immigration of organisms from one patch to another. Here, we designed an experiment to investigate the effects of environmental switching between the brine pool and the NBW on biofilm assembly, which could reflect environmental filtering effects during bacterial immigration to new environments. Analyses of 16S rRNA genes of 71 biofilm samples suggested that the microbial composition of biofilms established in new environments was determined by both the source community and the incubation conditions. Moreover, a comparison of 18 metagenomes provided evidence for biofilm community assembly that was based primarily on functional features rather than taxonomic identities; metal ion resistance and amino acid metabolism were the major species sorting determinants for the succession of biofilm communities. Genome binning and pathway reconstruction of two bacterial species ( Marinobacter sp. and Oleispira sp.) further demonstrated metal ion resistance and amino acid metabolism as functional traits conferring the survival of habitat generalists in both the brine pool and NBW. The results of this study shed new light on microbial community assembly in special habitats and bridge a gap in species sorting theory.

A novel metalloproteinase virulence factor is involved in B acillus thuringiensis pathogenesis in nematodes and insects - Donghai Peng; Jian Lin; Qiong Huang; Wen Zheng; Guoqiang Liu; Jinshui Zheng; Lei Zhu; Ming Sun (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary The Gram‐positive soil bacterium B acillus thuringiensis has been developed as the leading microbial insecticide for years. The pathogenesis of B . thuringiensis requires common extracellular factors that depend on the PlcR regulon, which regulates a large number of virulence factors; however, the precise role of many of these proteins is not known. In this study, we describe the complete lifecycle of a nematicidal B . thuringiensis strain in the free living nematode C aenorhabditis elegans using in vitro and in vivo molecular techniques to follow host and bacterial effectors during the infection process. We then focus on the metalloproteinase ColB , a collagenase, which was found highly important for destruction of the intestine thereby facilitates the adaptation and colonization of B . thuringiensis in C . elegans. In vivo green fluorescent protein ( GFP ) reporter‐gene studies showed that ColB expression is highly induced and regulated by the global activator PlcR . Finally, we demonstrated that ColB also takes part in B . thuringiensis virulence in an insect model following injection and oral infection. Indeed, addition of purified ColB accelerates the action of Cry toxin proteins in insects, too . These results give novel insights into host adaptation for B . thuringiensis and other B . cereus group bacteria and highlight the role of collagenase metalloproteases to synergize infection process.

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

Stochastic dilution effects weaken deterministic effects of niche‐based processes in species rich forests - Xugao Wang; Thorsten Wiegand; Nathan J. B. Kraft; Nathan G. Swenson; Stuart J. Davies; Zhanqing Hao; Robert Howe; Yiching Lin; Keping Ma; Xiangcheng Mi; Sheng‐Hsin Su; I‐Fang Sun; et al. (Ecology, 2016)
Recent theory predicts that stochastic dilution effects may result in species‐rich communities with statistically independent species spatial distributions, even if the underlying ecological processes structuring the community are driven by deterministic niche differences. Stochastic dilution is a consequence of the stochastic geometry of biodiversity where the identities of the nearest neighbors of individuals of a given species are largely unpredictable. Under such circumstances, the outcome of deterministic species interactions may vary greatly among individuals of a given species. Consequently, nonrandom patterns in the biotic neighborhoods of species, which might be expected from coexistence or community assembly theory (e.g., individuals of a given species are neighbored by phylogenetically similar species), are weakened or do not emerge, resulting in statistical independence of species spatial distributions. We used data on phylogenetic and functional similarity of tree species in five large forest dynamics plots located across a gradient of species richness to test predictions of the stochastic dilution hypothesis. To quantify the biotic neighborhood of a focal species we used the mean phylogenetic (or functional) dissimilarity of the individuals of the focal species to all species within a local neighborhood. We then compared the biotic neighborhood of species to predictions from stochastic null models to test if a focal species was surrounded by more or less similar species than expected by chance. The proportions of focal species that showed spatial independence with respect to their biotic neighborhoods increased with total species richness. Locally dominant, high‐abundance species were more likely to be surrounded by species that were statistically more similar or more dissimilar than expected by chance. Our results suggest that stochasticity may play a stronger role in shaping the spatial structure of species rich tropical forest communities than it does in species poorer forests. These findings represent an important step towards understanding the factors that govern the spatial configuration of local biotic communities. The stochastic dilution effect is a simple geometric mechanism that can explain why species’ spatial distributions in species‐rich communities approximate independence from their biotic neighborhood, even if deterministic niche processes are in effect.

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.
