An Approach to Accurate Ship Image Recognition in a Complex Maritime Transportation Environment - Meng Yu; Shaojie Han; Tengfei Wang; Haiyan Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In order to monitor traffic in congested waters, permanent video stations are now commonly used on interior riverbank bases. It is frequently challenging to identify ships properly and effectively in such images because of the intricate backdrop scenery and overlap between ships brought on by the fixed camera location. This work proposes Ship R-CNN(SR-CNN), a Faster R-CNN-based ship target identification algorithm with improved feature fusion and non-maximum suppression (NMS). The SR-CNN approach can produce more accurate target prediction frames for prediction frames with distance intersection over union (DIOU) larger than a specific threshold in the same class weighted by confidence scores, which can enhance the model’s detection ability in ship-dense conditions. The SR-CNN approach in NMS replaces the intersection over union (IOU) filtering criterion, which solely takes into account the overlap of prediction frames, while DIOU, also takes into account the centroid distance. The screening procedure in NMS, which is based on a greedy method, is then improved by the SR-CNN technique by including a confidence decay function. In order to generate more precise target prediction frames and enhance the model’s detection performance in ship-dense scenarios, the proposed SR-CNN technique weights prediction frames in the same class with DIOU greater than a predetermined threshold by the confidence score. Additionally, the SR-CNN methodology uses two feature weighting methods based on the channel domain attention mechanism and regularized weights to provide a more appropriate feature fusion for the issue of a difficult ship from background differentiation in busy waters. By gathering images of ship monitoring, a ship dataset is created to conduct comparative testing. The experimental results demonstrate that, when compared to the three traditional two-stage target detection algorithms Faster R-CNN, Cascade R-CNN, and Libra R-CNN, this paper’s algorithm Ship R-CNN can effectively identify ship targets in the complex background of far-shore scenes where the distinction between the complex background and the ship targets is low. The suggested approach can enhance detection and decrease misses for small ship targets where it is challenging to distinguish between ship targets and complex background objects in a far-shore setting.

A significant wave height prediction method based on deep learning combining the correlation between wind and wind waves - Tao Song; Runsheng Han; Fan Meng; Jiarong Wang; Wei Wei; Shiqiu Peng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Accurate wave height prediction is significant in ports, energy, fisheries, and other offshore operations. In this study, a regional significant wave height prediction model with a high spatial and temporal resolution is proposed based on the ConvLSTM algorithm. The model learns the intrinsic correlations of the data generated by the numerical model, making it possible to combine the correlations between wind and wind waves to improve the predictions. In addition, this study also optimizes the long-term prediction ability of the model through the proposed Mask method and Replace mechanism. The experimental results show that the introduction of the wind field can significantly improve the significant wave height prediction results. The research on the prediction effect of the entire study area and two separate stations shows that the prediction performance of the proposed model is better than the existing methods. The model makes full use of the physical correlation between wind and wind waves, and the validity is up to 24 hours. The 24-hour forecast R² reached 0.69.

Feasibility Studies of Nebulized SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody in Mice and Cynomolgus Monkeys - Jilei Jia; Zhaojuan Yin; Xiao Zhang; Huimin Li; Dan Meng; Qianqian Liu; Hongfang Wang; Meng Han; Shixiang Suo; Yan Liu; Ping Hu; Chunyun Sun; et al. (Pharmaceutical Research, 2022)
Purpose Neutralizing antibodies, administrated through intravenous infusion, have shown to be highly efficacious in treating mild and moderate COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lung. However, antibodies do not transport across the plasma-lung barrier efficiently, and up to 100 mg/kg dose was used in human causing significant supply and cost burdens. This study was to explore the feasibility of nebulized antibodies inhalation delivery as an alternative route. Methods HB27, a potent RBD-specific humanized monoclonal antibody (Zhu et al. in National Sci Rev. 8:nwaa297, 2020), showed excellent protection against SARS-CoV-2 in animal model and good safety profile in clinical studies. The pharmacokinetics and preliminary safety of HB27 administrated through the respiratory tract were studied in mice and cynomolgus monkeys here. Results At a single 5 mg/kg dose, the peak HB27 concentration in mice pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) reached 857.8 μg/mL, 670-fold higher than the PRNT 90 value of 1.28 μg/mL, and maintained above PRNT 90 over 240 h. In contrast, when administrated by intravenous injection at a 5 mg/kg dose, the antibody concentrations in mice ELF were below PRNT 90 value throughout, and were about 50-fold lower than that in the serum. In cynomolgus monkeys administrated with a single dose through inhalation, the antibody concentration in ELF remained high within 3 days. No drug-related safety concerns were observed in the studies. Conclusions The study demonstrated that nebulized neutralizing antibody delivery though inhalation could be a more efficient and efficacious alternative approach for treating COVID-19 and other respiratory infectious diseases, and warrants further evaluation in clinical studies.

The Motion and Deformation of Viscoplastic Slide while Entering a Body of Water - Zhenzhu Meng; Xueyou Li; Shoujie Han; Xiao Wang; Jun Meng; Zhipeng Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Landslide-generated waves are hazards that, commonly, exist in the natural world. The motion and deformation of a submerged landslide significantly affect the efficiency of the momentum transfer, between the slide material and the water body, and, thereby, dominate the characteristics of the associated waves. Therefore, investigating how the submerged sliding mass is moved and deformed is of great importance, not only for understanding the physical mechanism behind the slide–water interaction but also for optimizing the predictive models of the wave characteristics. In this study, we assumed the landslide as a viscoplastic fluid and used an ideal viscoplastic material, called Carbopol, to mimic a natural landslide, at the laboratory scale. We, first, determined the coordinates of three control points, including the frontal point, deepest point, and center of mass, so as to quantify the time evolution of the submerged slide motion. We, then, fit the maximums of the coordinates of the control points with an integrated parameter of the incoming landslide, with the support of experimental data. Results indicated that not only the wave features but also the submerged slide motion can be quantified by the slide parameters on impact.

Response Process of Coastal Hypoxia to a Passing Typhoon in the East China Sea - Qicheng Meng; Feng Zhou; Xiao Ma; Jiliang Xuan; Han Zhang; Shuai Wang; Xiaobo Ni; Wenyan Zhang; Bin Wang; Dewang Li; Di Tian; Jia Li; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Details of the development of coastal hypoxia in response to the passage of Typhoon Bavi (2020) in the East China Sea were reconstructed by numerical modeling using a three-dimensional coupled physical–biogeochemical model. The model was validated via repeated surveys along a transect across a submerged river valley off the Changjiang Estuary before and after the passage of Typhoon Bavi. Before Bavi’s arrival, survey data indicated that the coastal hypoxia had formed off the Changjiang Estuary. However, the hypoxia was not eliminated but instead migrated and aggravated along the observed transect after the typhoon passage. This phenomenon cannot be attributed to the typhoon-induced mixing. Simulation results reveal that the observed development and spatial migration of hypoxia was mainly controlled by typhoon-induced oceanic advection. Results show that Bavi stimulated a regional quasi-barotropic cyclonic loop circulation and coastal downwelling reversing general summer circulation patterns. The onshore transport of the warmer shelf water and subsequent downwelling resulted in a warming of coastal water. The southward coastal current and downwelling induced by the typhoon also led to a migration of the hypoxic zone. Meanwhile, a massive transport of resuspended planktonic detritus from the steep inner shelf and the shallow Changjiang bank toward the submerged river valley occurred. This study reveals that the typhoon-driven currents can play an important role in the development of hypoxia and redistribution of deposited organic matter in coastal shelf seas, which may have both short- and long-term effects on the regional marine biogeochemical environment.

Effects of the Parameter C4ε in the Extended k-ε Turbulence Model for Wind Farm Wake Simulation Using an Actuator Disc - Ning Li; Li Li; Yongqian Liu; Yulu Wu; Hang Meng; Jie Yan; Shuang Han (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The actuator disc model (ADM) incorporated into the k-ε turbulence model of EI Kasmi is able to simulate the wind farm wakes with high fidelity, which is essential for layout optimization and the evaluation of power production in modern wind farms. However, the effects of the parameter C4ε in the k-ε model of EI Kasmi on turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the superposition areas and the recovery of wind farm wake velocity have rarely been studied. To this end, the k-ε model of EI Kasmi is coupled with the advanced ADM in PHOENICS to investigate the influence of the parameter C4ε on the wake simulation of wind farms (e.g., two offshore wind farms, one onshore wind farm). It is concluded that a decreased parameter C4ε makes the generation range of TKE in the vicinity of the rotor smaller, but the TKE near the rotor becomes larger, and the wake recovery rate of the downstream turbine is less affected by the near wake. As the interwind turbine spacing increases, the influence area of TKE in the wake region of each downstream machine gradually reduces, and atmospheric turbulence plays a dominant role in wake recovery. A decreased parameter C4ε can effectively promote the inflow wind velocity and power output of downstream turbines. The power output simulated compares well with the measured power value when the parameter C4ε = 0.15.

Towards a rapid assessment of highway slope disasters by using multidisciplinary techniques - Meng-Chia Weng; Cheng-Han Lin; Wen-Jie Shiu; Wei-An Chao; Chia-Chi Chiu; Ching-Fang Lee; Wei-Kai Huang; Che-Ming Yang (Landslides, 2022)
Mega-earthquakes and extreme climate events accompanied by intrinsic fragile geology lead to numerous landslides along mountain highways in Taiwan, causing enormous life and economic losses. In this study, a system for rapid slope disaster information integration and assessment is proposed with the aim of providing information on landslide occurrence, failure mechanisms, and subsequent landslide-affected areas to the highway authority rapidly. The functionality of the proposed system is deployed into three units: (1) geohazard rapid report (GeoPORT I), (2) multidisciplinary geological survey report (GeoPORT II), and (3) site-specific landslide simulation report (GeoPORT III). After landslide occurrence, the seismology-based monitoring network rapidly provides the initial slope disaster information, including preliminary location, event magnitude, earthquake activity, and source dynamics, within an hour. Within 3 days of the landslide, a multidisciplinary geological survey is conducted to collect high-precision topographical, geological, and remote-sensing data to determine the possible failure mechanism. After integrating the aforementioned information, a full-scale three-dimensional landslide simulation based on the discrete element method is performed within 10 days to reveal the failure process and to identify the areas potentially affected by subsequent disasters through scenario modeling. Overall, the proposed system can promptly provide comprehensive and objective information to relevant authorities after the event occurrence for hazard assessment. The proposed system was validated using a landslide event in the Central Cross-Island Highway of Taiwan.

Unsupervised Machine Learning for Improved Delaunay Triangulation - Tao Song; Jiarong Wang; Danya Xu; Wei Wei; Runsheng Han; Fan Meng; Ying Li; Pengfei Xie (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Physical oceanography models rely heavily on grid discretization. It is known that unstructured grids perform well in dealing with boundary fitting problems in complex nearshore regions. However, it is time-consuming to find a set of unstructured grids in specific ocean areas, particularly in the case of land areas that are frequently changed by human construction. In this work, an attempt was made to use machine learning for the optimization of the unstructured triangular meshes formed with Delaunay triangulation in the global ocean field, so that the triangles in the triangular mesh were closer to equilateral triangles, the long, narrow triangles in the triangular mesh were reduced, and the mesh quality was improved. Specifically, we used Delaunay triangulation to generate the unstructured grid, and then developed a K-means clustering-based algorithm to optimize the unstructured grid. With the proposed method, unstructured meshes were generated and optimized for global oceans, small sea areas, and the South China Sea estuary to carry out data experiments. The results suggested that the proportion of triangles with a triangle shape factor greater than 0.7 amounted to 77.80%, 79.78%, and 79.78%, respectively, in the unstructured mesh. Meanwhile, the proportion of long, narrow triangles in the unstructured mesh was decreased to 8.99%, 3.46%, and 4.12%, respectively.

Abdominal massage (AM), a traditional Chinese medicine-based treatment method, has received considerable attention in the recent years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of AM on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced insulin resistance (IR) in comparison with resveratrol (RSV) treatment. Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following four groups: standard chow diet (control group), high-fat diet (model group), HFD + abdominal massage (AM group), and HFD + resveratrol (RSV group). A rat model of IR was established by feeding HFD to rats for 8 weeks followed by treatment with AM or RSV for 4 weeks. The underlying HFD-induced IR molecular mechanisms were studied in rat serum and skeletal muscles. RSV and AM significantly improved glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia, obesity, and significantly reduced lipid accumulation [triglyceride (TC), total cholesterol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)], adipocytokine [free fatty acids (FFA), adiponectin (ADPN)] and serum pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) secretion. In addition, AM activated the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway in rat skeletal muscle. In conclusion, our results showed that AM could improve IR by regulating the secretion of adipocytokines, pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as related signaling pathways in the skeletal muscle of rats, which might provide insights into development of new treatment methods for the clinical treatment of IR.

Cerebellar Long Noncoding RNA Expression Profile in a Niemann-Pick C Disease Mouse Model - Shiqian Han; Meng Ren; Tianyin Kuang; Mao Pang; Dongwei Guan; Yesong Liu; Yong Wang; Wengeng Zhang; Zhijia Ye (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Niemann-Pick type C (NP-C) disease is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder primarily caused by mutations in NPC1 . However, its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. While mounting evidence has demonstrated the involvement of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, the lncRNA expression profile in NP-C has not been determined. Here, we used RNA-seq analysis to determine lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles of the cerebella of NPC1 −/− mice. We found that 272 lncRNAs and 856 mRNAs were significantly dysregulated in NPC1 −/− mice relative to controls (≥ 2.0-fold, p < 0.05). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT‐PCR) was utilized to validate the expression of selected lncRNAs and mRNAs. Next, a lncRNA-mRNA coexpression network was employed to examine the potential roles of the differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs. Functional analysis revealed that mRNAs coexpressed with lncRNAs are mainly linked to immune system–related processes and neuroinflammation. Moreover, knockdown of the lncRNA H19 ameliorated changes in ROS levels and cell viability and suppressed the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)–induced inflammatory response in vitro. Our findings indicate that dysregulated lncRNA expression patterns are associated with NP-C pathogenesis and offer insight into the development of novel therapeutics based on lncRNAs.

Influence of Spatial Scale Selection of Environmental Factors on the Prediction of Distribution of Coilia nasus in Changjiang River Estuary - Weizhao Meng; Yihe Gong; Xuefang Wang; Jianfeng Tong; Dongyan Han; Jinhui Chen; Jianhui Wu (Fishes, 2021)
An estuary region is a complex environment with a transition from fresh to brackish to salt water, and in which some environmental factors change dramatically over small ranges. Therefore, it is important to understand the impact of the selection of spatial scale on the prediction of the distribution of estuarine species. As the largest estuary in China, the Changjiang River estuary is the spawning ground, feeding ground, and migration channel for many species. Based on Coilia nasus, an important economic fish species in the Changjiang River estuary, this study uses the two-stage generalized additive model (GAM) to investigate the potential differences in the response of species’ spatial distribution when environmental factors are assessed at different spatial scales (1′ × 1′, 2′ × 2′, 3′ × 3′, 4′ × 4′, 5′ × 5′). The results showed the following: (1) according to the analysis of the variance inflation factor (VIF), the values of all environmental factors were less than three and we found no correlation among the environmental variables selected. (2) The first stage GAM retained six variables, including year, month, latitude (Lat), water depth (Depth, m), bottom salinity (Sal, mg/L), and chemical oxygen demand (COD, mg/L). The second stage GAM retained four variables, including Year, Lat, pH, and chlorophyll a (Chl-a, μg/L). (3) The mean value of the Chla for the 3′ × 3′ spatial scale was significantly lower than that of the other spatial scales, and the mean value of Sal for the 5′ × 5′ spatial scale was higher than that of the other spatial scales. (4) In terms of the spatial distribution of abundance, the distribution patterns of C. nasus predicted by all scales were not very similar, and the distribution patterns predicted by the 5′ × 5′ scale, in the autumn of 2012, were significantly different from those at other scales. Therefore, the selection of spatiotemporal scales may affect predictions of the spatial distributions of species. We suggest that potential spatiotemporal scale effects should be evaluated in future studies.

Expression analysis and tissue localization of IgZ in the grouper Epinephelus coioides after Vibrio alginolyticus infection and vaccination - Yao‐Wu Fu; Zhan‐Juan Yao; Meng‐Han He; Zuo‐Pei Wang; Wei‐Feng Chen; Miao Cui; Qi‐Zhong Zhang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
The orange‐spotted grouper ( Epinephelus coioides ) is an important marine farmed fish in China. It is affected by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus , which causes high mortality and substantial economic losses. We studied the transcriptional changes of the IgZ gene in E. coioides following V. alginolyticus stimulation and investigated the distribution of IgZ in different tissues. The highest expression level of IgZ occurred in the head kidney. When fish were stimulated with live and inactivated V. alginolyticus , the expression levels of IgZ in the head kidney, spleen, intestine, gills and blood cells were significantly upregulated. In an in situ hybridization study, IgZ mRNA‐positive cells were detected in the head kidney, spleen and gill, but positive signals were not detected in the liver and intestine. IgZ‐labelled cells increased in the head kidney, spleen and gills post‐infection with V. alginolyticus for 21 days. The present study provides additional evidence that IgZ is involved in mucosal immune responses and helps explain the role of IgZ in E . coioides defence against V . alginolyticus infection.

Molecular and Morphological Characterization of Colaconema formosanum sp. nov. (Colaconemataceae, Rhodophyta)—A New Endophytic Filamentous Red Algal Species from Taiwan - Meng-Chou Lee; Han-Yang Yeh (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The genus Colaconema, containing endophytic algae associated with economically important macroalgae, is common around the world, but has rarely been reported in Taiwan. A new species, C. formosanum, was found attached to an economically important local macroalga, Sarcodia suae, in southern Taiwan. The new species was confirmed based on morphological observations and molecular analysis. Both the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI-5P) genes showed high genetic variation between our sample and related species. Anatomical observations indicated that the new species presents asexual reproduction by monospores, cylindrical cells, irregularly branched filaments, a single pyrenoid, and single parietal plastids. Our research supports the taxonomic placement of C. formosanum within the genus Colaconema. This study presents the third record of the Colaconema genus in Taiwan.

EmhR is an indole‐sensing transcriptional regulator responsible for the indole‐induced antibiotic tolerance in Pseudomonas fluorescens - Jian‐Ting Han; Di‐Yin Li; Meng‐Yuan Zhang; Xiao‐Quan Yu; Xiang‐Xue Jia; Hang Xu; Xu Yan; Wen‐Juan Jia; Shaomin Niu; Megan L. Kempher; Xuanyu Tao; Yong‐Xing He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Indole is well known as an interspecies signalling molecule to modulate bacterial physiology; however, it is not clear how the indole signal is perceived and responded to by plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the rhizosphere. Here, we demonstrated that indole enhanced the antibiotic tolerance of Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24, a PGPR well known for its biocontrol capacity. Proteomic analysis revealed that indole influenced the expression of multiple genes including the emhABC operon encoding a major multidrug efflux pump. The expression of emhABC was regulated by a TetR‐family transcription factor EmhR, which was demonstrated to be an indole‐responsive regulator. Molecular dynamics simulation showed that indole allosterically affected the distance between the two DNA‐recognizing helices within the EmhR dimer, leading to diminished EmhR–DNA interaction. It was further revealed the EmhR ortholog in Pseudomonas syringae was also responsible for indole‐induced antibiotic tolerance, suggesting this EmhR‐dependent, indole‐induced antibiotic tolerance is likely to be conserved among Pseudomonas species. Taken together, our results elucidated the molecular mechanism of indole‐induced antibiotic tolerance in Pseudomonas species and had important implications on how rhizobacteria sense and respond to indole in the rhizosphere.

Light grazing facilitates carbon accumulation in subsoil in Chinese grasslands: A meta‐analysis - Zhi‐Yun Jiang; Zhong‐Min Hu; Derrick Y. F. Lai; Dao‐Rui Han; Mei Wang; Min Liu; Meng Zhang; Ming‐Yan Guo (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Grazing by livestock greatly affects the soil carbon (C) cycle in grassland ecosystems. However, the effects of grazing at different intensities and durations on the dynamics of soil C in its subsoil layers are not clearly understood. Here, we compiled data from 78 sites (in total 122 published studies) to examine the effects of varying grazing intensities and durations on soil C content at different depths for grasslands in China. Our meta‐analysis revealed that grazing led to an overall decrease in soil C content and productivity of above‐ground vegetation (e.g., above‐ground biomass and litter) but an increase in below‐ground biomass. Specifically, the effects of grazing on soil C content became less negative or even positive with increasing soil depths. An increase of soil C content was consequently found under light grazing (LG), although soil C content still decreased under moderate and heavy grazing. The increase in soil C content under LG could be largely attributed to the increase of soil C content in subsoil layers (>20 cm), despite that soil C content in surface soil layer (0–20 cm) decreased. Moreover, the magnitude of increase in soil C content under LG in subsoil layers increased with grazing duration. A possible reason of the increase in soil C content in the subsoil layers was due to the increases in below‐ground biomass. Our study highlights that LG may modify the allocation of C input and promote its accumulation in subsoil layers, thus offsetting the negative impact of grazing on surface soil C content, a finding that has significant implications for C sequestration in grasslands.

Elevated IL-22 in psoriasis plays an anti-apoptotic role in keratinocytes through mediating Bcl-xL/Bax - Bo Wang; Dan Han; Fei Li; Weikun Hou; Lijuan Wang; Liesu Meng; Kuanhou Mou; Shemin Lu; Wenhua Zhu; Yan Zhou (Apoptosis, 2020)
IL-22 is known to mediate inflammation in psoriasis, while IL-22 binding protein (IL-22BP) binds IL-22 to suppress IL-22 signaling. However, the function of IL-22 in regulating apoptosis in psoriasis remains poorly understood. In this study, we found that IL-22/IL-22R1 in lesional skin and IL-22 in serum from psoriatic patients were highly upregulated compared with healthy controls, while IL-22BP was not changed. Correlations between IL-22/IL-22R1 levels and the thickness of psoriatic lesions suggested that IL-22 might positively regulate abnormal hyperplasia in psoriasis. Apoptotic keratinocytes were increased only in stratum corneum, but not in spinous and basal layers of psoriasis. Moreover, IL-22 promoted cell viability in human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKs). The apoptosis induced by TNF-α and IFN-γ was inhibited in HEKs treated with IL-22, since that IL-22 upregulated Bcl-xL and downregulated Bax production in HEKs in the presence of TNF-α and IFN-γ. In addition, IL-22BP could counteract the anti-apoptotic effect of IL-22. Our finding demonstrates that IL-22 might play an anti-apoptosis role on keratinocytes to balance cell proliferation and apoptosis in psoriatic epidermis.

Functional characterisation of fatty acyl desaturase, Fads2, and elongase, Elovl5, in the Boddart's goggle‐eyed goby Boleophthalmus boddarti (Gobiidae) suggests an incapacity for long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis - Han‐Jie Soo; Ka Kei Sam; Joey Chong; Nyok‐Sean Lau; Seng Yeat Ting; Meng‐Kiat Kuah; Sim Yee Kwang; Manogoran Ranjani; Alexander Chong Shu‐Chien (Journal of Fish Biology, 2020)
The biosynthesis of long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC‐PUFA), a process to convert C18 polyunsaturated fatty acids into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or arachidonic acid (ARA), requires the concerted activities of two enzymes, the fatty acyl desaturase (Fads) and elongase (Elovl). This study highlights the cloning, functional characterisation and tissue expression pattern of a Fads and an Elovl from the Boddart's goggle‐eyed goby ( Boleophthalmus boddarti ), a mudskipper species widely distributed in the Indo‐Pacific region. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the cloned fads and elovl are clustered with other teleost orthologs, respectively. The investigation of the genome of several mudskipper species, namely Boleophthalmus pectinirostris , Periophthalmus schlosseri and Periophthalmus magnuspinnatus, revealed a single Fads2 and two elongases, Elovl5 and Elovl4 for each respective species. A heterologous yeast assay indicated that the B. boddarti Fads2 possessed low desaturation activity on C18 PUFA and no desaturation on C20 and C22 PUFA substrates. In comparison, the Elovl5 showed a wide range of substrate specificity, with a capacity to elongate C18, C20 and C22 PUFA substrates. An amino acid residue that affects the capacity to elongate C22:5n‐3 was identified in the B. boddarti Elovl5. Both genes are highly expressed in brain tissue. Among all tissues, DHA is highly concentrated in neuron‐rich tissues, whereas EPA is highly deposited in gills. Taken together, the results showed that due to the inability to perform desaturation steps, B. boddarti is unable to biosynthesise LC‐PUFA, relying on dietary intake to acquire these nutrients.

Aim Rapid anthropogenic warming coupled with changes in land use is altering the distributions of species, with consequences for ecosystem functioning and services. It is crucial to evaluate species range shifts based on understanding of the interaction of temperature with non‐climatic factors such as habitat availability and dispersal potential. Here, we aim to investigate roles of environmental temperature, habitat availability and population connectivity on the distributions of hard‐shore intertidal animals. We further examine potential roles of extensive artificial seawall construction in enabling poleward expansion of species in China, thus reshaping coastal biogeography. Location Chinese coast. Time period 2013–2017. Major taxa studied Intertidal invertebrates. Methods We took an integrative approach encompassing distributional ecology, thermal physiology, molecular genetics, heat budget modelling and larval dispersal to elucidate how interacting multiple drivers, including temperature, habitat availability and larval dispersal, determine distributions of hard‐shore invertebrates, focusing on what sets their range edges at a boundary between biogeographic provinces. Results Our results untangle the complex interactions of global climate change with the impacts of regional scale coastal development. Temperature, larval transport and habitat availability are the major proximate factors controlling the range limits of coastal marine species. The artificial shorelines provide suitable habitats for hard‐shore species on the Yangtze River Delta, and minimum temperature in winter is an important factor setting the new northern range limit of these hard‐shore species along the Chinese coast. Main conclusions In the face of global warming and global sprawl of marine hard infrastructure, species distributions, community structures and biogeographic patterns are experiencing dramatic changes. The combined influence of multiple human stressors including climate change and artificial shorelines can be evaluated by using a multidisciplinary framework, including ecological distribution, physiological sensitivity of species to these stressors, and the role of dispersal in maintaining population connectivity.

Behavioural, physiological and molecular changes in alloparental caregivers may be responsible for selection response for female reproductive investment in honey bees - Fan Wu; Chuan Ma; Bin Han; Lifeng Meng; Han Hu; Yu Fang; Mao Feng; Xufeng Zhang; Olav Rueppell; Jianke Li (Molecular Ecology, 2019)
Reproductive investment is a central life history variable that influences all aspects of life. Hormones coordinate reproduction in multicellular organisms, but the mechanisms controlling the collective reproductive investment of social insects are largely unexplored. One important aspect of honey bee ( Apis mellifera ) reproductive investment consists of raising female‐destined larvae into new queens by alloparental care of nurse bees in form of royal jelly provisioning. Artificial selection for commercial royal jelly production over 40 years has increased this reproductive investment by an order of magnitude. In a cross‐fostering experiment, we establish that this shift in social phenotype is caused by nurse bees. We find no evidence for changes in larval signalling. Instead, the antennae of the nurse bees of the selected stock are more responsive to brood pheromones than control bees. Correspondingly, the selected royal jelly bee nurses are more attracted to brood pheromones than unselected control nurses. Comparative proteomics of the antennae from the selected and unselected stocks indicate putative molecular mechanisms, primarily changes in chemosensation and energy metabolism. We report expression differences of several candidate genes that correlate with the differences in reproductive investment. The functional relevance of these genes is supported by demonstrating that the corresponding proteins can competitively bind one previously described and one newly discovered brood pheromone. Thus, we suggest several chemosensory genes, most prominently OBP16 and CSP4, as candidate mechanisms controlling queen rearing, a key reproductive investment, in honey bees. These findings reveal novel aspects of pheromonal communication in honey bees and explain how sensory changes affect communication and lead to a drastic shift in colony‐level resource allocation to sexual reproduction. Thus, pheromonal and hormonal communication may play similar roles for reproductive investment in superorganisms and multicellular organisms, respectively.

The antitoxin MqsA homologue in Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 has a rewired regulatory circuit through evolution - Yong Wang; Si‐Ping Zhang; Meng‐Yuan Zhang; Megan L. Kempher; Ding‐Ding Guo; Jian‐Ting Han; Xuanyu Tao; Yi Wu; Li‐Qun Zhang; Yong‐Xing He (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The mqsRA operon encodes a toxin–antitoxin pair that was characterized to participate in biofilm and persister cell formation in Escherichia coli . Notably, the antitoxin MqsA possesses a C‐terminal DNA‐binding domain that recognizes the [5’‐AACCT(N) 2‐4 AGGTT‐3′] motif and acts as a transcriptional regulator controlling multiple genes including the general stress response regulator RpoS. However, it is unknown how the transcriptional circuits of MqsA homologues have changed in bacteria over evolutionary time. Here, we found mqsA in Pseudomonas fluorescens ( PfmqsA ) is acquired through horizontal gene transfer and binds to a slightly different motif [5′‐TACCCT(N) 3 AGGGTA‐3′], which exists upstream of the PfmqsRA operon. Interestingly, an adjacent GntR‐type transcriptional regulator, which was termed AgtR, is under negative control of PfMqsA. It was further demonstrated that PfMqsA reduces production of biofilm components through AgtR, which directly regulates the pga and fap operons involved in the synthesis of extracellular polymeric substances. Moreover, through quantitative proteomics analysis, we showed AgtR is a highly pleiotropic regulator that influences up to 252 genes related to diverse processes including chemotaxis, oxidative phosphorylation and carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Taken together, our findings suggest the rewired regulatory circuit of PfMqsA influences diverse physiological aspects of P. fluorescens 2P24 via the newly characterized AgtR.

The China Plant Trait Database: toward a comprehensive regional compilation of functional traits for land plants - Han Wang; Sandy P. Harrison; Iain C. Prentice; Yanzheng Yang; Fan Bai; Henrique F. Togashi; Meng Wang; Shuangxi Zhou; Jian Ni (Ecology, 2018)
Plant functional traits provide information about adaptations to climate and environmental conditions, and can be used to explore the existence of alternative plant strategies within ecosystems. Trait data are also increasingly being used to provide parameter estimates for vegetation models. Here we present a new database of plant functional traits from China. Most global climate and vegetation types can be found in China, and thus the database is relevant for global modeling. The China Plant Trait Database contains information on morphometric, physical, chemical, and photosynthetic traits from 122 sites spanning the range from boreal to tropical, and from deserts and steppes through woodlands and forests, including montane vegetation. Data collection at each site was based either on sampling the dominant species or on a stratified sampling of each ecosystem layer. The database contains information on 1,215 unique species, though many species have been sampled at multiple sites. The original field identifications have been taxonomically standardized to the Flora of China. Similarly, derived photosynthetic traits, such as electron‐transport and carboxylation capacities, were calculated using a standardized method. To facilitate trait–environment analyses, the database also contains detailed climate and vegetation information for each site. The data set is released under a Creative Commons BY license. When using the data set, we kindly request that you cite this article, recognizing the hard work that went into collecting the data and the authors' willingness to make it publicly available.
