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

Identification of a novel cyprinid herpesvirus 3 genotype detected in koi from the East Asian and South‐East Asian Regions - J Chen; D Chee; Y Wang; G Y Lim; S M Chong; Y N Lin; T Huangfu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2015)
Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (Cy HV ‐3) is a highly contagious virus that causes significant morbidity and mortality in common carp Cyprinus carpio L. and considered to be one of the most important pathogens of koi and common carp worldwide. Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 infected consignments imported from East Asian and South‐East Asian regions were identified during quarantine period in Singapore, and virus from a 2005 consignment was successfully isolated in koi fin cells. A combination of sequence analyses and duplex PCR were used to characterize 15 Cy HV ‐3 isolates detected in koi consignments between 2005 and 2011. Sequence analyses of the enlarged 9/5, SphI‐5 and TK gene regions identified both the Asian 1 ( n = 11) and European 4 ( n = 4) genotypes. Duplex PCR analysis of two variable marker regions between ORF 29 and ORF 30 (marker I) as well as ORF 133 and its upstream region (marker II ) revealed viruses of genotypes J (I ++ II + ), U/I (I −− II − ), an intermediate genotype (I ++ II − ) and a novel genotype, I ++ II +Δ , which was identified in viruses from seven different consignments. This novel genotype has a 13‐bp deletion in marker II , while maintaining the I ++ allele of marker I. The I ++ II +Δ genotype may have emerged from East Asian and South‐East Asian regions in recent years.

Interactive effects of light, nitrogen source, and carbon dioxide on energy metabolism in the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana - Dalin Shi; Weiying Li; Brian M. Hopkinson; Haizheng Hong; Dongmei Li; Shuh‐Ji Kao; Wenfang Lin (Limnology and Oceanography, 2015)
Due to the ongoing effects of climate change, phytoplankton are likely to experience enhanced irradiance, more reduced nitrogen, and increased water acidity in the future ocean. Here, we used Thalassiosira pseudonana as a model organism to examine how phytoplankton adjust energy production and expenditure to cope with these multiple, interrelated environmental factors. Following acclimation to a matrix of irradiance, nitrogen source, and CO 2 levels, the diatom's energy production and expenditures were quantified and incorporated into an energetic budget to predict how photosynthesis was affected by growth conditions. Increased light intensity and a shift from to led to increased energy generation, through higher rates of light capture at high light and greater investment in photosynthetic proteins when grown on . Secondary energetic expenditures were adjusted modestly at different culture conditions, except that utilization was systematically reduced by increasing p CO 2 . The subsequent changes in element stoichiometry, biochemical composition, and release of dissolved organic compounds may have important implications for marine biogeochemical cycles. The predicted effects of changing environmental conditions on photosynthesis, made using an energetic budget, were in good agreement with observations at low light, when energy is clearly limiting, but the energetic budget over‐predicts the response to at high light, which might be due to relief of energetic limitations and/or increased percentage of inactive photosystem II at high light. Taken together, our study demonstrates that energetic budgets offered significant insight into the response of phytoplankton energy metabolism to the changing environment and did a reasonable job predicting them.

Infections of nervous necrosis virus in wild and cage‐reared marine fish from S outh C hina S ea with unexpected wide host ranges - X D Liu; J N Huang; S P Weng; X Q Hu; W J Chen; Z D Qin; X X Dong; X L Liu; Y Zhou; M Asim; W M Wang; J G He; et al. (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2015)
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 .

ICE1 demethylation drives the range expansion of a plant invader through cold tolerance divergence - H. J. Xie; H. Li; D. Liu; W. M. Dai; J. Y. He; S. Lin; H. Duan; L. L. Liu; S. G. Chen; X. L. Song; B. E. Valverde; S. Qiang (Molecular Ecology, 2015)
Cold tolerance adaption is a crucial determinant for the establishment and expansion of invasive alien plants into new cold environments; however, its evolutionary mechanism is poorly understood. Crofton weed ( Ageratina adenophora ), a highly invasive alien plant, is continuously spreading across subtropical areas in China, north‐eastward from the first colonized south‐western tropical regions, through cold tolerance evolution. Close relations between the cold tolerance levels of 34 populations, represented by 147 accessions, and the latitude, extreme lowest temperature, coldest month average temperature, and invasion period have provided direct insight into its cold tolerance divergence. A comparative study of the CBF pathway, associated with the cold tolerance enhancement of cold‐susceptible CBF 1 ‐transgenic plant, among four geographically distinct crofton weed populations revealed that the CBF pathway plays a key role in the observed cold tolerance divergence. Four epialleles of the cold response regulator ICE 1 ranged from 66 to 50 methylated cytosines, representing a 4.4% to 3.3% methylation rate and significantly corresponding to the lowest to highest cold tolerance levels among these different populations. The significant negative relation between the transcription levels of the primary CBF pathway members, except for CBF 2 , and the methylation levels among the four populations firstly demonstrates that the demethylation‐upregulated transcription level of CBF pathway is responsible for this evolution. These facts, combined with the cold tolerance variation and methylation found among three native and two other introduced populations, indicate that the ICE 1‐ demethylated upregulation of cold tolerance may be the underlying evolutionary mechanism allowing crofton weed to expand northward in China.

Development of a selective and differential medium for capsulated L actococcus garvieae - C‐I Chang; C‐F Lee; J‐M Tsai; C‐C Wu; L‐H Chen; S‐C Chen; K‐J Lin (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2014)
A selective and differential medium termed ‘ LG agar’ was developed for the isolation and presumptive identification of L actococcus garvieae that results in black colonies with red halos. In this study, all 14 strains of L . garvieae and only 9 of the 148 strains representing 38 other species were able to grow on the LG agar. The nine viable strains on LG agar plates (including E nterococcus faecalis , E nterococcus faecium , L actococcus lactis , V ibrio fluvialis , V ibrio furnissii , V ibrio mimicus and V ibrio salmonicida ) were further differentiated from L . garvieae by various colours or colony features. Colonies isolated from the mixing culture and the infected giant sea perch using LG agar plates were all positively identified as L . garvieae by conventional tests and 16 S r DNA sequencing. Furthermore, LG agar discriminated capsulated strains of L . garvieae , which were believed to be correlated with pathogens of fish and shellfish, from non‐capsulated ones by colony appearances. The specificity and differentiating ability of LG agar suggest that this medium displays considerable potential for primary isolation and presumptive identification of L . garvieae from pathological and environmental samples.

Eutrophication as a driver of r ‐selection traits in a freshwater fish - M. Lin; M. Chevalier; S. Lek; L. Zhang; R. E. Gozlan; J. Liu; T. Zhang; S. Ye; W. Li; Z. Li (Journal of Fish Biology, 2014)
This study tested whether eutrophication could influence life‐history traits of a cyprinid, Chanodichthys erythropterus , in 10 Chinese lakes. Using the von Bertalanffy growth model, the asymptotic length ( L ∞ ) and the growth performance index ( I GRO ) were significantly affected by eutrophication. The gonado‐somatic index ( I G ) and relative fecundity ( F R ) were significantly lower in mesotrophic lakes than in eutrophic and hypertrophic lakes. These results indicate that increasing eutrophication affects the life‐history tactics of a freshwater fish.

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

Recommendations for the processing and storage of water samples before polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis - BJ Gilpin; M Devane; F Nourozi; B Robson; P Scholes; S Lin (New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2013)
A range of options for the storage and partial processing of water samples before polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis were evaluated. In addition, temporal storage of extracted DNA at 4 °C was investigated. Filtering the water sample and then storing that filter at −20 °C for up to six months before DNA extraction was equivalent to extracting DNA immediately. Freezing a water sample resulted in an immediate 1 log loss of PCR signal, although thereafter the sample was stable for at least three months. A rapid loss of detectable PCR product was found when storing a water sample at 4 °C for longer than one week. Extracted DNA could be stored at 4 °C for at least six months without considerable loss of PCR signal.

White spot syndrome virus epizootic in cultured P acific white shrimp L itopenaeus vannamei (Boone) in T aiwan - L Cheng; W‐H Lin; P‐C Wang; M‐A Tsai; J‐P Hsu; S‐C Chen (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2013)
White spot syndrome virus ( WSSV ) has caused significant losses in shrimp farms worldwide. Between 2004 and 2006, Pacific white shrimp L itopenaeus vannamei (Boone) were collected from 220 farms in T aiwan to determine the prevalence and impact of WSSV infection on the shrimp farm industry. Polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) analysis detected WSSV in shrimp from 26% of farms. Juvenile shrimp farms had the highest infection levels (38%; 19/50 farms) and brooder shrimp farms had the lowest (5%; one of 20 farms). The average extent of infection at each farm was as follows for WSSV ‐positive farms: post‐larvae farms, 71%; juvenile farms, 61%; subadult farms, 62%; adult farms, 49%; and brooder farms, 40%. Characteristic white spots, hypertrophied nuclei and basophilic viral inclusion bodies were found in the epithelia of gills and tail fans, appendages, cephalothorax and hepatopancreas, and virions of WSSV were observed. Of shrimp that had WSSV lesions, 100% had lesions on the cephalothorax, 96% in gills and tail fans, 91% on appendages and 17% in the hepatopancreas. WSSV was also detected in copepoda and crustaceans from the shrimp farms. Sequence comparison using the pms146 gene fragment of WSSV showed that isolates from the farms had 99.7–100% nucleotide sequence identity with four strains in the G en B ank database – China ( AF332093 ), T aiwan ( AF440570 and U50923 ) and Thailand ( AF369029 ). This is the first broad study of WSSV infection in L . vannamei in T aiwan.

Photosynthesis of temperate E ucalyptus globulus trees outside their native range has limited adjustment to elevated CO 2 and climate warming - Kristine Y. Crous; Audrey G. Quentin; Yan‐Shih Lin; Belinda E. Medlyn; David G. Williams; Craig V. M. Barton; David S. Ellsworth (Global Change Biology, 2013)
E ucalyptus species are grown widely outside of their native ranges in plantations on all vegetated continents of the world. We predicted that such a plantation species would show high potential for acclimation of photosynthetic traits across a wide range of growth conditions, including elevated [ CO 2 ] and climate warming. To test this prediction, we planted temperate E ucalyptus globulus Labill. seedlings in climate‐controlled chambers in the field located >700 km closer to the equator than the nearest natural occurrence of this species. Trees were grown in a complete factorial combination of elevated CO 2 concentration ( eC ; ambient [ CO 2 ] +240 ppm) and air warming treatments ( eT ; ambient +3 °C) for 15 months until they reached ca. 10 m height. There was little acclimation of photosynthetic capacity to eC and hence the CO 2 ‐induced photosynthetic enhancement was large (ca. 50%) in this treatment during summer. The warming treatment significantly increased rates of both carboxylation capacity ( V cmax ) and electron transport ( J max ) (measured at a common temperature of 25 °C) during winter, but decreased them significantly by 20–30% in summer. The photosynthetic CO 2 compensation point in the absence of dark respiration ( Γ *) was relatively less sensitive to temperature in this temperate eucalypt species than for warm‐season tobacco. The temperature optima for photosynthesis and J max significantly changed by about 6 °C between winter and summer, but without further adjustment from early to late summer. These results suggest that there is an upper limit for the photosynthetic capacity of E . globulus ssp. globulus outside its native range to acclimate to growth temperatures above 25 °C. Limitations to temperature acclimation of photosynthesis in summer may be one factor that defines climate zones where E . globulus plantation productivity can be sustained under anticipated global environmental change.

Molecular basis for insecticide‐enhanced thermotolerance in the brown planthopper N ilaparvata lugens S tål ( H emiptera: D elphacidae) - Lin‐Quan Ge; Liu‐Juan Huang; Guo‐Qin Yang; Qi‐Sheng Song; David Stanley; G. M. Gurr; Jin‐Cai Wu (Molecular Ecology, 2013)
Climate change is likely to have marked ecological effects on terrestrial ecosystems, including the activities of insect pests. Most attention has focused on the increasing geographical ranges of pests; however, if extrinsic factors enhance their thermotolerance, populations may express increased voltinism and longer daily and annual activity periods. These changes in pest populations have the potential for severe consequences, including increased crop losses and decreased food security at the global level. The brown planthopper ( BPH ) Nilaparvata lugens Stål (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is a serious pest of rice crops in temperate and tropical regions of Asia. It is often present in rice microclimates at temperatures close to its maximum thermotolerance. Recent BPH outbreaks in tropical Asia are considered to be associated with excess use of pesticides and increasing temperature. This study tested whether exposure to sublethal concentrations of triazophos (tzp), an insecticide widely used in Asian rice production, enhances thermotolerance of BPH . Tzp exposure (40 ppm at 40 °C) significantly decreased mortality (from 94% in controls to 50% at 48 h post‐treatment) and increased lethal mean time ( LT 50 ) of adults by 17.2 h. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of this tzp‐enhanced thermotolerance, we selected Hsp70 and Arginine kinase (Argk) for detailed study. Transcripts encoding both proteins in third‐instar nymphs and brachypterous adult females were up‐regulated, compared with controls, after exposure to tzp. RNA i silencing of both genes demonstrated that Hsp70 and Argk are essential for survival and tzp‐increased thermotolerance. We propose that tzp induces thermotolerance in BPH s by increasing the expression of genes that act in cell protection mechanisms. The significance of our proposal relates to the importance of understanding the influence of sublethal concentrations of insecticides on pest biology. In addition to its influence on thermotolerance, tzp also enhances BPH reproduction. We infer that exposure to a pesticide stressor can produce cross‐tolerance, that is, increased tolerance to one stressor also increases tolerance to other stressors, including temperature. Aside from needing a better understanding of these effects in nature and in other pest/cropping systems, we suggest that pest management programmes can be improved with better understanding of the influences of stressors, including increased environmental temperatures and sublethal concentrations of insecticides, on pest biology.

Soluble interleukin‐1 receptor, a potential negative regulator of orange‐spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides interleukin‐1 system - D. Q. Lu; M. Yao; S. B. Yi; Y. W. Li; X. C. Liu; Y. Zhang; H. R. Lin (Journal of Fish Biology, 2013)
In this study, the cDNA sequence encoding interleukin‐1 ( Il ‐1) receptor‐like protein of orange‐spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides was obtained. The newly identified sequence was named soluble type I Il ‐1 receptor ( sIl‐1rI ) owing to its structural composition, which had two Ig‐like domains, lack of transmembrane region and the Toll/interleukin‐1 receptor ( TIR ) domain, similar to the brown rat Rattus norvegicus soluble Il‐1rI . In addition, sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis indicated that E. coioides sequence had a closer relationship with Il‐1rI than Il‐1rII . Real‐time PCR revealed that sil‐1rI mRNA expression presented a process of decrease, restoration and increase in Cryptocaryon irritans ‐infected E. coioides . The negative correlation between Il ‐1β and sil‐1rI mRNA in C. irritans ‐infected head‐kidney implied the potential negative regulatory role of sil‐1rI in E. coioides Il ‐1 system. The leucocytes incubated with lipopolysaccharide or polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid exhibited different expression profiles of sil‐1rI . Recombinant Il ‐1β ( rIl ‐1β) protein was capable of inducing sil‐1rI mRNA under the concentration of 100 ng ml −1 , suggesting that high dosage or excess Il ‐1β would stimulate the expression of sil‐1rI to maintain the homoeostasis of E. coioides Il ‐1 system. For the first time, the role of teleost Il‐1rI in parasite infection has been identified, and soluble Il‐1r was found in fish.

Characterization of a novel cell line from the caudal fin of koi carp Cyprinus carpio - S.‐L. Lin; Y.‐H. Cheng; C.‐M. Wen; S.‐N. Chen (Journal of Fish Biology, 2013)
A continuous cell line ( KF ‐101) derived from the caudal fin of the koi carp Cyprinus carpio was established and characterized. The KF ‐101 cell line multiplied abundantly in Leibovitz's L‐15 medium containing 10% foetal bovine serum at 25° C, and was subcultured for >90 passages over a period of 3 years. Immunocytochemistry revealed that the KF ‐101 cells contain keratin, junction proteins connexin‐43 and occludin, and ectodermal stem‐cell marker Pax‐6, but not vimentin. Furthermore, the KF ‐101 cells reacted with anti‐human DARPP ‐32 and anti‐human GATA ‐4 antibodies, and the labelling was regulated according to the cell cycle. The labels of the DARPP ‐32 and GATA ‐4 antibodies in the KF ‐101 cells were the suggested phosphatase‐1 inhibitor‐1 and GATA ‐3, respectively. In addition, the KF ‐101 cells were susceptible to koi herpesvirus but were resistant to eel herpesvirus, iridovirus, grouper nodavirus and chum salmon ( Oncorhynchus keta ) virus. The results indicate that the KF ‐101 cells are suitable materials for investigating biological and virological development.

Regional variation in otolith Sr:Ca ratios of African longfinned eel Anguilla mossambica and mottled eel Anguilla marmorata : a challenge to the classic tool for reconstructing migratory histories of fishes - Y.‐J. Lin; B. M. Jessop; O. L. F. Weyl; Y. Iizuka; S.‐H. Lin; W.‐N. Tzeng; C.‐L. Sun (Journal of Fish Biology, 2012)
Otolith Sr:Ca ratios of the African longfinned eel Anguilla mossambica and giant mottled eel Anguilla marmorata from nine freshwater sites in four rivers of South Africa were analysed to reconstruct their migratory life histories between freshwater and saltwater habitats. For A. mossambica , the Sr:Ca ratios in the otolith edge differed significantly among rivers and had large effect sizes, but did not differ among sites within a river. Otolith Sr:Ca ratios did not differ among rivers for A. marmorata . When rivers were pooled, the edge Sr:Ca ratios of A. mossambica were not significantly different from those of A. marmorata . According to the river‐specific critical Sr:Ca ratio distinguishing freshwater from saltwater residence, most A. mossambica and A. marmorata had saltwater habitat experience after settlement in fresh water. This was primarily during their elver stage or early in the yellow eel stage. During the middle and late yellow eel stage, freshwater residency was preferred and only sporadic visits were made to saltwater habitats. The data also suggest that regional variations in otolith Sr:Ca ratios affect the critical Sr:Ca value and are a challenge for the reconstruction of migratory life histories that should be explicitly considered to avoid bias and uncertainty.

Identification and expression analysis of major histocompatibility complex IIB gene in orange‐spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides - D. Q. Lu; S. B. Yi; M. Yao; Y. W. Li; X. C. Liu; Y. Zhang; H. R. Lin (Journal of Fish Biology, 2012)
In this study, complementary DNA (cDNA) and DNA sequences of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIB genes ( mhcIIB ) were cloned from orange‐spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides . The gene structure of E. coioides mhcIIB consists of five exons and four introns, and its deduced amino acid sequence length is 249 amino acids, including a signal peptide, a peptide‐binding region, an IGC1 domain, a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic tail. A phylogenetic study showed that E. coioides mhcIIB shared 32·0–79·1% identity with those of other teleosts and mammals. Real‐time reverse transcriptase (RT)‐PCR was performed to detect the class IIB gene expression in eight different tissues. To characterize the relationship between E. coioides mhcIIB gene and pathogens, in vivo and in vitro studies were performed. Challenge of Cryptocaryon irritans revealed that class IIB genes were down‐regulated after 24 and 48 h of challenge, and their expression was later restored at 72 h. Stimulation of isolated E. coioides leukocytes with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (PolyI:C) significantly increased peripheral blood and spleen mhcIIB expression, while head kidney mhcIIB expression remained constant.

Differential expression profiling of orange‐spotted grouper larvae, Epinephelus coioides (Hamilton), that survived a betanodavirus outbreak - M‐S Wu; C‐W Chen; C‐H Lin; C‐S Tzeng; C‐Y Chang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2012)
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), a piscine nodavirus, has caused serious viral nervous necrosis and viral encephalopathy and retinopathy in hatchery‐reared larvae and juveniles of a wide range of marine teleost species worldwide in the last two decades. Although the mortality of NNV‐infected larvae is nearly 100%, there are still some larvae that survive this catastrophe. To comprehensively understand the variations of these survivors at the molecular level, we collected orange‐spotted grouper larvae that survived an NNV outbreak in an indoor hatchery in southern Taiwan to study differential gene expression. Healthy larvae with high, medium and low levels of detected NNV were compared with morbid larvae using a 9600‐clone‐containing grouper larva cDNA microarray, and differential gene expression was further confirmed by a quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction. Significant variation exists in healthy larvae. The following genes were upregulated: adenylate kinase 1‐2, myosin binding protein H‐like, myosin light chain 2, myosin light chain 3, tropomyosin, fast/white muscle troponin T embryonic isoform, and parvalbumin 1 and 2 genes. The following genes were downregulated: apolipoprotein A‐I, trypsinogen, pyruvate kinase and astacin‐like metalloprotease. Moreover, immunoglobulin M heavy chain gene transcription was significantly higher in healthy larvae that had high virus levels, indicating that humoral immunity might protect organisms from viral infection. These results suggest that some non‐immune‐related genes may have played important roles in survival during the larval metamorphosis stage, after betanodavirus infection.

Cultivation‐independent characterization of ‘ Candidatus Magnetobacterium bavaricum’ via ultrastructural, geochemical, ecological and metagenomic methods - C. Jogler; M. Niebler; W. Lin; M. Kube; G. Wanner; S. Kolinko; P. Stief; A. J. Beck; D. de Beer; N. Petersen; Y. Pan; R. Amann; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2010)
Summary ‘ Candidatus Magnetobacterium bavaricum’ is unusual among magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) in terms of cell size (8–10 µm long, 1.5–2 µm in diameter), cell architecture, magnetotactic behaviour and its distinct phylogenetic position in the deep‐branching Nitrospira phylum. In the present study, improved magnetic enrichment techniques permitted high‐resolution scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X‐ray analysis, which revealed the intracellular organization of the magnetosome chains. Sulfur globule accumulation in the cytoplasm point towards a sulfur‐oxidizing metabolism of ‘ Candidatus M. bavaricum’. Detailed analysis of ‘ Candidatus M. bavaricum’ microhabitats revealed more complex distribution patterns than previously reported, with cells predominantly found in low oxygen concentration. No correlation to other geochemical parameters could be observed. In addition, the analysis of a metagenomic fosmid library revealed a 34 kb genomic fragment, which contains 33 genes, among them the complete rRNA gene operon of ‘ Candidatus M. bavaricum’ as well as a gene encoding a putative type IV RubisCO large subunit.

Establishment, characterization, virus susceptibility and transfection of cell lines from cobia, Rachycentron canadum (L.), brain and fin - T‐C Cheng; Y‐S Lai; I‐Y Lin; C‐P Wu; S‐L Chang; T‐I Chen; M‐S Su (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2010)
Establishment and characterization of two cobia, Rachycentron canadum, cell lines derived from cobia brain (CB) and cobia fin (CF) are described. Caudal fin and brain from juvenile cobia were dissociated for 30 and 10 min, respectively, in phosphate‐buffered saline containing 0.25% trypsin at 25 °C. The optimal culture condition for both dissociated cells (primary cell culture) was at 28 °C in Leibovitz‐15 medium containing 10% foetal bovine serum. The cells have been sub‐cultured at a ratio of 1:2 for more than 160 passages over a period of 3 years. Origin of the cultured cells was verified by comparison of their sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I genes ( cox I ) with the cox 1 sequence from cobia muscle tissue. The cell lines showed polyploidy. No mycoplasma contamination was detected. Susceptibility to grouper iridovirus was observed for the CB cell line but not the CF cell line. Both cell lines expressed green fluorescent protein after being transfected with green fluorescent reporter gene driven by the cytomegalovirus promoter.

Do otolith annular structures correspond to the first freshwater entry for yellow European eels Anguilla anguilla in the Baltic countries? - Y.‐J. Lin; J.‐C. Shiao; L. Ložys; M. Plikšs; A. Minde; Y. Iizuka; I. Rašals; W.‐N. Tzeng (Journal of Fish Biology, 2009)
To examine the relationship between freshwater entry and otolith annular structures, a total of 113 naturally recruited European eels Anguilla anguilla from Lithuania and Latvia that entered fresh water at least once were collected. In some individuals (8·3–11·3%), the first freshwater entry coincided with a dark check that was distinctly different from neighbouring annuli. In most individuals (81·7–84·9%), the first freshwater entry occurred on rings and increments indistinguishable from other annuli. For the remaining individuals (3·8–10%), the first freshwater entry did not correspond to any otolith ring, band or annulus. According to recent evidence, the observed high correspondence between the first freshwater entry and otolith annuli was more likely due to the movement into fresh water during winter when the annulus was deposited, rather than stress resulting from habitat change. Consequently, the age estimation based on otoliths might be less influenced by this habitat change during the yellow eel stage.

Intercomparison, interpretation, and assessment of spring phenology in North America estimated from remote sensing for 1982–2006 - MICHAEL A. WHITE; KIRSTEN M. De BEURS; KAMEL DIDAN; DAVID W. INOUYE; ANDREW D. RICHARDSON; OLAF P. JENSEN; JOHN O'KEEFE; GONG ZHANG; RAMAKRISHNA R. NEMANI; WILLEM J. D. Van LEEUWEN; JESSLYN F. BROWN; ALLARD De WIT; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2009)
Shifts in the timing of spring phenology are a central feature of global change research. Long‐term observations of plant phenology have been used to track vegetation responses to climate variability but are often limited to particular species and locations and may not represent synoptic patterns. Satellite remote sensing is instead used for continental to global monitoring. Although numerous methods exist to extract phenological timing, in particular start‐of‐spring (SOS), from time series of reflectance data, a comprehensive intercomparison and interpretation of SOS methods has not been conducted. Here, we assess 10 SOS methods for North America between 1982 and 2006. The techniques include consistent inputs from the 8 km Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer NDVIg dataset, independent data for snow cover, soil thaw, lake ice dynamics, spring streamflow timing, over 16 000 individual measurements of ground‐based phenology, and two temperature‐driven models of spring phenology. Compared with an ensemble of the 10 SOS methods, we found that individual methods differed in average day‐of‐year estimates by ±60 days and in standard deviation by ±20 days. The ability of the satellite methods to retrieve SOS estimates was highest in northern latitudes and lowest in arid, tropical, and Mediterranean ecoregions. The ordinal rank of SOS methods varied geographically, as did the relationships between SOS estimates and the cryospheric/hydrologic metrics. Compared with ground observations, SOS estimates were more related to the first leaf and first flowers expanding phenological stages. We found no evidence for time trends in spring arrival from ground‐ or model‐based data; using an ensemble estimate from two methods that were more closely related to ground observations than other methods, SOS trends could be detected for only 12% of North America and were divided between trends towards both earlier and later spring.

How Geobacteraceae may dominate subsurface biodegradation: physiology of Geobacter metallireducens in slow‐growth habitat‐simulating retentostats - Bin Lin; Hans V. Westerhoff; Wilfred F. M. Röling (Environmental Microbiology, 2009)
Summary Geobacteraceae dominate many iron‐reducing subsurface environments and are associated with biodegradation of organic pollutants. In order to enhance the understanding of the environmental role played by Geobacteraceae , the physiology of Geobacter metallireducens was investigated at the low growth rates found in its subsurface habitat. Cultivation in retentostats (a continuous culturing device with biomass retention) under electron acceptor and electron donor limitation enabled growth rates as low as 0.0008 h −1 . The maximum growth yield was between 0.05 and 0.09 C‐mol biomass per C‐mol acetate and comparable to that observed in batch experiments. Maintenance energy demand is among the lowest reported for heterotrophic bacteria, under both acetate and AQDS limitation. The cells were able to use alternative electron acceptors directly, without requiring de novo protein synthesis. We discuss how the extremely low maintenance energy demand and the ability to readily use alternative electron acceptors may help Geobacter species to become ubiquitous and dominant microorganisms in many iron‐reducing subsurface settings.
