Molecular biomarker responses in the freshwater mussel Anodonta anatina exposed to an industrial wastewater effluent - Gustaf MO Ekelund Ugge; Annie Jonsson; Olof Berglund (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Using a selection of molecular biomarkers, we evaluated responses in freshwater mussels ( Anodonta anatina ) exposed to effluent from an industrial wastewater treatment facility. The aims of this work were to (1) assess biomarkers of general toxicity under sublethal exposure to an anthropogenic mixture of chemicals, represented by an arbitrary effluent, and (2) evaluate the potential of A. anatina as a bioindicator of pollution. Adult mussels ( n = in total 32; 24 males and 8 females) were exposed (96 h) in the laboratory to a fixed dilution of effluent or to a control treatment of standardized freshwater. Metal concentrations were in general higher in the effluent, by an order of magnitude or more, compared to the control. Toxic unit estimates were used as proxies of chemical stress, and Cu, Ni, and Zn were identified as potential major contributors (Cu> Ni > Zn). Six transcriptional ( cat , gst , hsp70 , hsp90 , mt , sod ) and two biochemical (AChE, GST) biomarkers were analyzed in two tissues, gills, and digestive glands. Out of the 16 responses (eight biomarkers × two tissues), 14 effect sizes were small (within ± 28 % of control) and differences non-significant ( p > 0.05). Results did however show that (1) AChE activity increased by 40% in gills of exposed mussels compared to control, (2) hsp90 expression was 100% higher in exposed female gills compared to control, and (3) three marker signals (AChE in both tissues, and hsp70 in gills) differed between sexes, independent of treatment. Results highlight a need for further investigation of molecular biomarker variability and robustness in A. anatina .

Patterns of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae infection of three salmonid species in large, deep Norwegian lakes - Tone Jøran Oredalen; Mona Sæbø; Tor Atle Mo (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Proliferative kidney disease (PKD), caused by the myxozoan endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae , is of serious ecological and economical concern to wild and farmed salmonids. Wild salmonid populations have declined due to PKD, primarily in rivers, in Europe and North America. Deep lakes are also important habitats for salmonids, and this work aimed to investigate parasite presence in five deep Norwegian lakes. Kidney samples from three salmonid species from deep lakes were collected and tested using real‐time PCR to detect PKD parasite presence. We present the first detection of T . bryosalmonae in European whitefish in Norway for the first time, as well as the first published documentation of the parasite in kidneys of Arctic charr, brown trout and whitefish in four lakes. The observed prevalence of the parasite was higher in populations of brown trout than of Arctic charr and whitefish. The parasite was detected in farmed, but not in wild, charr in one lake. This suggests a possible link with a depth of fish habitat and fewer T . bryosalmonae ‐infected and PKD‐affected fish. Towards a warmer climate, cold hypolimnion in deep lakes may act as a refuge for wild salmonids, while cold deep water may be used to control PKD in farmed salmonids.

Geochemistry and Sr–Nd isotopes of the Late Mesozoic lamprophyres in the Chaohu area, eastern China : Petrogenesis and tectonic implications - Mo Chen; Longming Li; Tianxiang Kan; Hang Liu; Xilin Zhao; Jiahao Li; Xu Han (Island Arc, 2022)
Late Mesozoic lamprophyres are widespread in the Chaohu area of the Lower Yangtze region, eastern China. These mantle‐derived rocks are of great significance for understanding the characteristics of mantle source and tectonic environment of eastern China during the Late Mesozoic. The lamprophyres from the Chaohu area can be divided into two types. The type‐I lamprophyres have low SiO 2 (43.8–44.5 wt.%) and TiO 2 (1.06–1.14 wt.%), high MgO (13.5–17.5 wt.%) and high contents of compatible elements, and are enriched in LREE and LILE but depleted in HFSE. They have high initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr (0.70767–0.70904) and negative εNd ( t ) (−4.8 to −4.4). The type‐II lamprophyres are characterized by low contents of SiO 2 (43.0–45.4 wt.%), high TiO 2 (1.74–2.55 wt.%), MgO (9.17–15.4 wt.%), and compatible elements. They are also enriched in LREE and LILE but depleted in HFSE. They show enriched Sr‐Nd isotopic compositions with initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr values (0.70773–0.70886) and εNd ( t ) values (−8.6 to −7.8). The type‐I lamprophyres show higher Mg # and MgO contents but significant lower TiO 2 than the type‐II lamprophyres. In addition, the type‐I lamprophyres have relatively similar initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios but higher εNd( t ) values than the type‐II lamprophyres. The difference of geochemical characteristics between the type‐I and type‐II lamprophyres may be caused by different degrees of partial melting of an amphibole‐bearing garnet lherzolite mantle. The lithospheric mantle was metasomatised by the fluids caused by the rollback of the Paleo‐Pacific plate subduction during the Late Cretaceous.

Cryptocaryon irritans (Brown, 1951) is a serious threat to aquaculture of marine fish - Yanwei Li; Biao Jiang; Zequan Mo; Anxing Li; Xueming Dan (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2022)
Cryptocaryon irritans (Brown, 1951) is an obligate parasite that mainly invades the skin, fins and gills of marine fish and causes marine ‘white spot disease’. It is common to aquarium and maricultured fish and causes high mortality due to its widespread geographical distribution, indiscriminate host specificity, short and simple life cycle, and high level of virulence. Numerous physical methods and chemical bath agents are applied to cure this disease in closed, re‐circulating aquaculture systems, but these treatments are not suitable in open environments such as cages and ponds. Fortunately, new measures, such as oral chemical drugs, oral plant components, vaccines and even biological control, are being developed as promising methods to treat and prevent cryptocaryoniasis in open aquaculture systems. Here, we provide a broad overview of C . irritans research, focussing primarily on work conducted in the last decade that may offer new insights into the treatment of disease in a practical setting.

Interannual to Interdecadal Variability of the Southern Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass and Establishment of “Forcing Mechanism Bridge” - Yunxia Guo; Dongxue Mo; Yijun Hou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The Yellow Sea cold water mass (YSCWM) occupies a wide region below the Yellow Sea (YS) thermocline in summer which is the most conservative water and may contain clearer climate signals than any other water masses in the YS. This study investigated the low-frequency variability of the southern YSCWM (SYSCWM) and established the “forcing mechanism bridge” using correlation analysis and singular value decomposition. On the interannual timescale, the southern oscillation can affect the SYSCWM through both the local winter monsoon (WM) and the sea surface net heat flux. On the decadal timescale, the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) can affect the SYSCWM via two “bridges”. First, the PDO affects the SYSCWM intensity by Aleutian low (AL), WM, and surface air temperature (SAT). Second, the PDO affects the SYSCWM by AL, WM, Kuroshio heat transport, and Yellow Sea warm current. The Arctic oscillation (AO) affects the SYSCWM by the Mongolian high, WM, and SAT. Before and after the 1980s, the consistent phase change of the PDO and the AO contributed to the significant decadal variability of the SYSCWM. Finally, one simple formula for predicting the decadal variability of SYSCWM intensity was established using key influencing factors.

Effects of Flow Velocity on the Growth and Survival of Haliotis discus hannai Larvae in the Recirculating Upflow System From the Point of Energy Metabolism - Mo Zhang; Xiaolong Gao; Mingxin Lyu; Shihui Lin; Ying Su; Xuan Luo; Weiwei You; Caihuan Ke (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
For the abalone Haliotis discus hannai , attachment and metamorphosis are crucial stages in the transition from planktonic to benthic life. Increasing the larval metamorphosis rate by artificially controlling the external environment and simulating natural seawater flow is vital to enhance the hatchery efficiency of H. discus hannai . Thus, in the current study, an upflow recirculating aquaculture unit was designed for the rearing of larval abalone, and the larval hatching rate, survival rate, mode of energy metabolism, and expression levels of metamorphosis-related genes at different flow velocities (0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 L/h) were compared and analyzed. At flow velocities less than 20 L/h, no significant differences occurred in larval hatching, survival, and metamorphosis rates, whereas significant differences were recorded at flow rates of 20 and 40 L/h. Differences were also observed in the activity of enzymes, such as hexokinase (HK), pyruvate kinase (PK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH), as well as glycogen levels, at the higher flow rates. These results suggested that velocity in excess of a certain limit leads to a higher glycolysis rate and transition of energy utilization from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism for the abalone larvae. Compared with conventional still-water aquacultural systems, the flow velocity at 5–10 L/h could maintain the water environment stability, and avoid both fertilized eggs from being densely deposited before hatching and the consumption of energy needed to resist high flow velocities. Thus, these results are useful references to enhance the hatchery efficiency, and to conduct large-scale rearing, of abalone larvae.

Effects of Clay Mineral Composition on the Dynamic Properties and Fabric of Artificial Marine Clay - Yi Shan; Xing Wang; Jie Cui; Haihong Mo; Yadong Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Marine clays are easily affected by different mineral composition in cyclic load-based geological hazards. Therefore, based on analyzing the mineral composition of natural marine clay, it is the key to predict the dynamic properties of natural materials under cyclic loading by using quantitated artificial marine clay. In this study, the marine clay found in the South China Sea deltas was investigated. Based on the results of geological conditions and mineral composition analyses, raw non-clay minerals (such as quartz, albite) and clay minerals (such as Na-montmorillonite and kaolinite) were used to produce artificial marine clay, the dynamic properties of which were studied from the impact of mineral composition. Dynamic triaxial laboratory testing for artificial marine clay comprising various clay minerals was performed under identical test conditions. The artificial marine clay with high montmorillonite content exhibited slower development of strain, more sluggish growth in pore water pressure, more rounded hysteresis curves, greater stiffness, and more prolonged viscous energy growth than the clay with low montmorillonite content. In addition, the flocculated fabric of the artificial marine clay with high montmorillonite content demonstrated sufficient pore space changes, more uniform pore distribution, and larger specific surface area than the dispersed fabric of the clay with low montmorillonite content. The factors arising from the influence of montmorillonite may lead to microstructural and fabric changes, hinder the development of pore water, and increase intergranular contact stiffness as well as delay the cyclic strain amplitude at the breakpoint of viscous energy dissipation. In general, the results presented in this study confirm that clay minerals, especially montmorillonite, have significant influence on the dynamic properties of large strain.

Comparative Study of the Feeding Characteristics and Digestion Physiology of Haliotis discus hannai and Haliotis gigantea - Mingxin Lyu; Xiaolong Gao; Mo Zhang; Shihui Lin; Xuan Luo; Weiwei You; Caihuan Ke (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Abalone ( Haliotis spp.) are typical nocturnal creatures but Haliotis discus hannai is bold and active in the nighttime whereas H. gigantea tends to be timid and inactive. In this study, we quantified and compared differences in movement, feeding, and digestive physiology between H. discus hannai and H. gigantea as well as the potential molecular mechanisms on the basis of video observations and expression levels of genes related to feeding regulation. The feeding behaviors of both species were characterized by significant circadian rhythms ( P < 0.05). However, the distance moved and the cumulative duration of movement were 2.61 and 1.94 times higher, respectively, in H. discus hannai than in H. gigantea over the 24-h cycle. The cumulative duration of feeding by H. discus hannai was only 1.15 times that by H. gigantea , but the feeding time as a percentage of the cumulative duration of movement (FTP) was up to 94.6% for H. gigantea and only 56.0% for H. discus hannai . The peaks for α-amylase activity and NPF expression levels in both species as well as the peak OX 2 R expression level in H. gigantea occurred during 20:00–00:00 h. By contrast, the peaks for alginate lyase activity and NPYR expression levels in H. discus hannai occurred at 16:00 h, when the FTP was significantly higher for H. discus hannai than for H. gigantea . These initial findings quantify specific behavior parameters and thus provide a reference for the selection of appropriate feeding strategies and the proliferation of abalone via bottom sowing.

One way to understand ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (pancreatic cancer) is to view it as unimaginably large numbers of evolving living organisms interacting with their environment. This “evolutionary view” creates both expected and surprising perspectives in all stages of neoplastic progression. Advances in the field will require greater attention to this critical evolutionary prospective.

To clarify the characteristics and distribution of hospital environmental microbiome associated with confirmed COVID-19 patients. Environmental samples with varying degrees of contamination which were associated with confirmed COVID-19 patients were collected, including 13 aerosol samples collected near eight patients in different wards, five swabs from one patient’s skin and his personal belongings, and two swabs from the surface of positive pressure respiratory protective hood and the face shield from a physician who had close contact with one patient. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was used to analyze the composition of the microbiome. One of the aerosol samples (near patient 4) was detected positive for COVID-19, and others were all negative. The environmental samples collected in different wards possessed protean compositions and community structures, the dominant genera including Pseudomonas , Corynebacterium , Neisseria , Staphylococcus , Acinetobacter , and Cutibacterium . Top 10 of genera accounted for more than 76.72%. Genera abundance and proportion of human microbes and pathogens radiated outward from the patient, while the percentage of environmental microbes increased. The abundance of the pathogenic microorganism of medical supplies is significantly higher than other surface samples. The microbial compositions of the aerosol collected samples nearby the patients were mostly similar to those from the surfaces of the patient's skin and personal belongings, but the abundance varied greatly. The positive rate of COVID-19 RNA detected from aerosol around patients in general wards was quite low. The ward environment was predominantly inhabited by species closely related to admitted patients. The spread of hospital microorganisms via aerosol was influenced by the patients’ activity.

Increasing intensities of Anisakis simplex (Rudolphi, 1809 det. Krabbe, 1878) larvae with weight and sea age in returning adult Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., of coastal waters of Norway - Tor Atle Mo; Frode Fossøy; Trygve T. Poppe (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Ninety wild Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., (1.5–10.3 kg) were caught in the Namsen Fjord near the mouth of River Namsen, mid‐Norway, and examined for the presence and distribution of Anisakis simplex (Rudolphi, 1809 det. Krabbe, 1878) larvae by digestion of the viscera and muscles in a pepsin/HCl solution. All salmon were migrating spawners after 1–4 years of feeding in the Atlantic Ocean. All 90 Atlantic salmon had A. simplex larvae in the viscera, and all, except two, had A. simplex larvae in the musculature. The number of A. simplex larvae in each fish varied between 3 and 181, and the total mean number of nematode larvae was 44.5. The intensity of A. simplex larvae was positively correlated with increasing weight and sea age of the host. However, the proportion of larvae in the muscle fillets decreased with increasing host weight and sea age. Atlantic salmon females had more A. simplex larvae than males. In all the fish examined, 70.2% of the A. simplex larvae were found in the viscera and 29.8% in the musculature. The majority (93%) of the larvae in the musculature occurred in the hypaxial sections anterior to the anus. As A. simplex larvae commonly occur in the musculature of wild Atlantic salmon, consumption of unfrozen, raw or semi‐raw musculature represents a risk for humans developing anisakiasis.

Contribution of climate/meteorology to winter haze pollution in the Fenwei Plain, China - Zhijun Zhao; Shaw Chen Liu; Run Liu; Ziyin Zhang; Yanzi Li; Huisi Mo; Yanxing Wu (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
In recent years, anthropogenic emissions in the Fenwei Plain (FWP) have decreased; however, haze pollution remains a serious issue. This study explored the possible reasons for this enduring problem in terms of climate and meteorology. Firstly, the contribution of climate and meteorology to haze pollution in the FWP was quantified using a best fit model and differences in key meteorological parameters were analysed over several time periods. Key climate factors were identified using a relative importance test and correlation analysis, and the adjusted optimal subset model (AOSM) was used to predict the number of winter haze days for the entire winter and for individual winter months, respectively. Results showed that the average minimum contribution ( CON ave ) of climate/meteorology to winter haze pollution was 24.3% from 1984 to 2016 and the modulating role of climate and meteorological conditions increased significantly after 2010 ( CON ave = 55.8%). This was attributed to a significant decrease (increase) in sea level pressure and surface wind speed (500 hPa geopotential height and surface temperature) in the FWP. The explained variance ( R 2 ) and mean absolute error (MAE) of the models for the entire winter period were 88% and 3.54 days, respectively. For predictions in November, December, January, and February, the R 2 was above 71% and the MAE was below 1.83 days. Furthermore, independent predictions for 2018 showed that the bias in the monthly models was lower by 5 days compared to the entire winter model. The results of a recycling independent test indicated that all the models evaluated had excellent stability, proving that the climate factors chosen by the AOSM do affect haze pollution in the FWP.

Assessing the Impact of Wave–Current Interactions on Storm Surges and Waves during Cold Air Outbreaks in the Northern East China Sea - Dongxue Mo; Jian Li; Yijun Hou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Storm surges and disastrous waves induced by cold air outbreaks, a type of severe weather system, often impact the coastal economic development. Using the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis wind product and the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere–Wave–Sediment Transport model, we developed a coupled numerical model and applied it to examine the interaction between surface gravity waves and ocean currents during cold air outbreaks in two case studies in the northern East China Sea. The results revealed that wave–current interactions improved the simulation accuracy, especially the water level, as verified by tidal station measurements. We conducted sensitivity experiments to explore the spatiotemporal variation of the impact of wave–current interactions on storm surges and waves in the northern East China Sea, away from the coastline. The wave-induced surge (up to 0.4 m) and the wave-induced current (up to 0.5 m/s) were found to be related to the difference between wave direction and current direction. The significant wave height difference (up to 0.5 m) was sensitive to the storm surge nearshore and sensitive to the current field offshore, while the mean wave direction change (up to 40°) was more sensitive to the current field than to the storm surge. Additionally, the wave–current interaction regulated the momentum balance and wave action balance, respectively. By comparison, the momentum residuals of pressure gradient, Coriolis force, Coriolis–Stokes force, and bottom stress, which were pronounced in different areas, were modulated more significantly by the wave effect than other terms. The dominant mechanisms of wave–current interactions on waves included the current-induced modification of energy generation caused by wind input, the current-induced modification of energy dissipation caused by whitecapping, and the current-induced wave advection.

Variations in methyl bromide concentration with distance and time during quarantine fumigation - Min-Goo Park; Young-Seoub Hong; Chung Gyoo Park; Dong-Chul Gu; Hyoung-ho Mo (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2021)
Methyl bromide (MB) is a highly toxic and ozone-depleting substance and should be replaced. Worker exposure to high MB concentrations during fumigation has been previously reported. However, variations in MB concentration as a function of distance from fumigated objects or of time after degassing have not been reported so far. In this study, air samples were collected at various distances from fumigated objects (oranges, wood in containers, and wood in tarpaulin) during injection and degassing and analyzed via gas chromatography according to the Occupational Safety and Health Agency method. In addition, MB concentrations were directly measured over time using a gas detector during degassing. Non-linear regression analysis of the logarithmically transformed data indicated a clear decrease in MB concentration with distance as well as time. Non-linear regression models were constructed to describe the decrease in MB concentration with distance from the objects and with time during degassing ( P < 0.05 for all models). The results of this study could aid in establishing appropriate safety guidelines, and hence, in preventing risks related to MB exposure.

Application of an improved multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis approach for estimation of the complexity of daily precipitation - Liangliang Zhang; Heng Li; Dong Liu; Qiang Fu; Mo Li; Muhammad Abrar Faiz; Shoaib Ali; Muhammad Imran Khan; Tianxiao Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Affected by climate change and high‐intensity human activities, the precipitation series is characterized by nonlinear complex fluctuations. In order to accurately quantify the precipitation complexity, the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) method was introduced to address the shortcomings of the traditional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA), and the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method was proposed to explore the spatiotemporal variability and possible causes of precipitation complexity in Northeast China (NEC). The results showed that the traditional MFDFA method generally overestimated precipitation complexity. However, the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method improved the accuracy and reliability of precipitation complexity analysis. Daily precipitation series in NEC were characterized by multifractal with high uncertainty and anti‐persistence. The lowest precipitation complexity was 0.573, which appeared in Qian'an, Jilin Province, and the highest precipitation complexity was 1.108, which appeared in the Boketu, Inner Mongolia. The cities with high complexity of daily precipitation are sporadically distributed in the three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. The average complexity is ~0.892, accounting for 22.5% of the total administrative districts. The complexity of daily precipitation showed a statistically insignificant downward trend with time. The precipitation dynamics structure in the southeast and northwest of the study area was complex, and the precipitation was less predictable than other regions. However, the precipitation dynamics structure was relatively simple and the precipitation was easily predictable in the northeastern, central and southwestern regions. Elevation, topographic relief, changes in water area, forest area and agricultural production were the main influencing factors for the differences in precipitation complexity. Results also revealed that increasing the area of forestland by means of protecting and breeding forests, via regulation of the forest ecosystems to alleviate the complex precipitation process will become a reliable approach to cope with nonstationary precipitation.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) hold promise in regenerative medicine but allogeneic immune rejections caused by highly polymorphic human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) remain a barrier to their clinical applications. Here, we used a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated HLA-editing strategy to generate a variety of HLA homozygous-like hESC lines from pre-established hESC lines. We edited four pre-established HLA-heterozygous hESC lines and created a mini library of 14 HLA-edited hESC lines in which single HLA-A and HLA-B alleles and both HLA-DR alleles are disrupted. The HLA-edited hESC derivatives elicited both low T cell- and low NK cell-mediated immune responses. Our library would cover about 40% of the Asian-Pacific population. We estimate that HLA-editing of only 19 pre-established hESC lines would give rise to 46 different hESC lines to cover 90% of the Asian-Pacific population. This study offers an opportunity to generate an off-the-shelf HLA-compatible hESC bank, available for immune-compatible cell transplantation, without embryo destruction.

Kidney disease is manifested in a wide variety of phenotypes, many of which have an important hereditary component. To delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pediatric nephropathy, a multicenter registration system is being implemented based on the Chinese Children Genetic Kidney Disease Database (CCGKDD). In this study, all the patients with kidney and urological diseases were recruited from 2014 to 2020. Genetic analysis was conducted using exome sequencing for families with multiple affected individuals with nephropathy or clinical suspicion of a genetic kidney disease owing to early-onset or extrarenal features. The genetic diagnosis was confirmed in 883 of 2256 (39.1%) patients from 23 provinces in China. Phenotypic profiles showed that the primary diagnosis included steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS, 23.5%), glomerulonephritis (GN, 32.2%), congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT, 21.2%), cystic renal disease (3.9%), renal calcinosis/stone (3.6%), tubulopathy (9.7%), and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu, 5.8%). The pathogenic variants of 105 monogenetic disorders were identified. Ten distinct genomic disorders were identified as pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs) in 11 patients. The diagnostic yield differed by subgroups, and was highest in those with cystic renal disease (66.3%), followed by tubulopathy (58.4%), GN (57.7%), CKDu (43.5%), SRNS (29.2%), renal calcinosis /stone (29.3%) and CAKUT (8.6%). Reverse phenotyping permitted correct identification in 40 cases with clinical reassessment and unexpected genetic conditions. We present the results of the largest cohort of children with kidney disease in China where diagnostic exome sequencing was performed. Our data demonstrate the utility of family-based exome sequencing, and indicate that the combined analysis of genotype and phenotype based on the national patient registry is pivotal to the genetic diagnosis of kidney disease.

Assessing the Benefits and Economic Feasibility of Stand Improvement for Central Hardwood Forests - Yangyang Wang; Wu Ma; Lenny D Farlee; Elizabeth A Jackson; Guofan Shao; Thomas Ochuodho; Jingjing Liang; Mo Zhou (Forest Science, 2021)
Stand improvement (SI) has been widely accepted as an effective forest management tool. Yet most studies on its economic feasibility for nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners are outdated and focus on the single stand level. The objective of this study was to conduct an economic assessment of SI’s effects and feasibility in hardwood stands for a case study in the White River Basin in Indiana. It is shown that SI could make these forests more productive and sustainable than the prevalent “hands-off” practice by enhancing the timber value of the residual stand (TV), generating regular timber income, and to some degree, reversing the decline in oak dominance. On average, a 25% increment in the TV could be achieved. Although costly for some NIPFs, once combined with voluntary financial incentive programs, SI could meet landowners’ demands for low-cost, high-return investment options. In particular, participation in the Environmental Quality Incentive Program could, on average, increase the net present value of timber income from thinning activities by nearly $1,600 per hectare over the course of 30 years. The spatial analysis revealed that there existed considerable spatial heterogeneity in SI benefits and impacts, suggesting that public incentive programs should be spatially targeted to achieve greater efficiency.

Identification and application of T3SS translocation signal in Edwardsiella piscicida attenuated carrier as a bivalent vaccine - Jie Li; Lei Tang; Pengmei Wang; Guiyang Li; Huaiyuan Jin; Zhaolan Mo (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Type III secretion system (T3SS)‐dependent translocation has been used to deliver heterologous antigens by vaccine carriers into host cells. In this research, we identified the translocation signal of Edwardsiella piscicida T3SS effector EseG and constructed an antibiotic resistance‐free balanced‐lethal system as attenuated vaccine carrier to present antigens by T3SS. Edwardsiella piscicida LSE40 asd gene deletion mutant was constructed and complemented with pYA3342 harbouring the asd (aspartate β‐semialdehyde dehydrogenase) gene from Salmonella . Fusion proteins composed of EseG N‐terminal 1–108 amino acids and the TEM1‐β‐lactamase reporter were inserted in plasmid pYA3342. The fusion protein could secrete into the cell culture, translocate into HeLa cells, and localize in the membrane fraction. Then, the double gene deletion mutant LSE40Δ asd Δ purA was constructed as an attenuated vaccine carrier, and Aeromonas hydrophila GapA (glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase) was fused with the translocation signal, instead of the TEM1‐β‐lactamase reporter. The bivalent vaccine could protect blue gourami ( Trichogaster trichopterus ) against E . piscicida and A . hydrophila , with the relative per cent survival of 80.77% and 63.83%, respectively. These results indicated that EseG N‐terminal 1–108 amino acid peptide was the translocation signal of E. piscicida T3SS, which could be used to construct bivalent vaccines based on an attenuated E. piscicida carrier.

Synergetic effect of El Niño‐Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole on particulate matter in Guangdong, China - Huisi Mo; Run Liu; Shaw Chen Liu; Jiajia Mo (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
The synergetic effect of Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and El Niño‐Southern Oscillation on the particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) concentration in Guangdong for October–November–December 1980–2016 has been investigated. Results indicate that, during a typical polluted episode, Guangdong is usually under the influence of a high‐pressure system behind the cold front, which is characterized by weakened southwesterly, subsidence/divergence, and stable atmospheric conditions. Persistent low values of PM 2.5 are found to prevail during the years when concurrent IOD positive phase and El Niño occur. However, separate occurrence of El Niño and the positive phase of IOD had only marginal effect on PM 2.5 . The remarkable synergetic effect of El Niño and the positive phase of IOD is caused by a significantly strengthened ascending motion associated with anomalous southwesterly, which facilitates the transport of abundant moisture, increasing rainfall and thus suppressing PM 2.5 pollution in Guangdong.

Biogeography and co‐occurrence patterns of bacterial generalists and specialists in three subtropical marine bays - Yuanyuan Mo; Wenjing Zhang; David M. Wilkinson; Zheng Yu; Peng Xiao; Jun Yang (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Recent research has greatly expanded our understanding of microbial metacommunities in aquatic ecosystems. However, patterns at the mesoscale are still poorly understood. We present the first simultaneous analyses of the biogeography and co‐occurrence patterns of generalists and specialists marine bacteria from three subtropical bays of China and test for signals of ecological processes (i.e., stochastic and deterministic processes) in biogeography and community assembly. Results showed that compared to specialists, bacterial generalists were less diverse, and were more widely dispersed in the three subtropical bays. Network analysis indicated that both habitat generalists and specialists showed non‐random co‐occurrence patterns, and specialists had a more complex co‐occurrence pattern than generalists. Further, specialists co‐occurrence network exhibited distinct robust structure compared to generalists, indicating that the both taxa showed different network stability. Our null models indicated that the generalists and specialists were primarily shaped by deterministic processes ‐ such as variable selection. However, deterministic processes played a greater role in the community variation of specialists (84%) than generalists (56%). The study has broadened our understanding of generalists and specialists distribution in the bacterioplankton; further revealing the dominant roles of similar ecological mechanisms (deterministic processes) in shaping the community assembly. The differences in complex and stable co‐occurrence pattern between generalists and specialists could be driven by deterministic processes. By considering the roles of species traits and ecological processes, we provide a deeper mechanistic understanding of bacterial biogeographical and co‐existence patterns.

Genetic population structure of the monogenean parasite Gyrodactylus thymalli and its host European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) in a large Norwegian lake - Ruben Alexander Pettersen; Claudia Junge; Kjartan Østbye; Tor Atle Mo; Leif Asbjørn Vøllestad (Hydrobiologia, 2021)
Understanding how populations are structured in space and time is a central question in evolutionary biology. Parasites and their hosts are assumed to evolve together, however, detailed understanding of mechanisms leading to genetic structuring of parasites and their hosts are lacking. As a parasite depends on its host, studying the genetic structure of both parasite and host can reveal important insights into these mechanisms. Here, genetic structure of the monogenean parasite Gyrodactylus thymalli and its host the European grayling ( Thymallus thymallus ) was investigated in 10 tributaries draining into the large Lake Mjøsa in Norway. The population genetic structure of spawning grayling was studied using microsatellite genotyping, while G. thymalli was studied by sequencing a mitochondrial DNA gene (dehydrogenase subunit 5). Two main genetic clusters were revealed in grayling, one cluster comprising grayling from the largest spawning population, while the remaining tributaries formed the second cluster. For both taxa, some genetic differentiation was observed among tributaries, but there was no clear isolation-by-distance signature. The structuring was stronger for the host than for the parasite. These results imply that moderate to high levels of gene flow occur among the sub-populations of both taxa. The high parasite exchange among tributaries could result from a lack of strong homing behavior in grayling as well as interactions among individual fish outside of the spawning season, leading to frequent mixing of both host and parasite.

Efficient and Economical Allocation of Irrigation Water under a Changing Environment: a Stochastic Multi‐Objective Nonlinear Programming Model* - Zehao Yan; Mo Li; Zhong Li (Irrigation and Drainage, 2021)
Water scarcity causes conflicts between natural resources and socio‐economic development which reinforces the need for optimal allocation of irrigation water resources. Irrigation water resource allocation is a complex problem due to various uncertainties in natural conditions. In this study, a stochastic multi‐objective nonlinear programming model is developed for irrigation water allocation under uncertainty. The model is capable of balancing the conflicting objectives of maximizing both net economic benefit (NEB) and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE). Moreover, it can reflect the random nature of water availability, and provide alternative water allocation schemes in response to climate change. The applicability of the developed model is demonstrated by a case study in north‐west China. Trade‐offs between NEB and IWUE are presented. Irrigation water allocation schemes to cope with changing environments, including climate change and varying water availability, are also proposed. The results demonstrate that the developed model can generate solutions that save irrigation water while ensuring NEB. This model is a useful tool to support the formulation of optimized water resources management policies in a changing environment.

Migration route, stopping sites, and non-breeding destinations of adult Black-tailed Godwits breeding in southwest Fryslân, The Netherlands - Mo A. Verhoeven; A. H. Jelle Loonstra; Alice D. McBride; Christiaan Both; Nathan R. Senner; Theunis Piersma (Journal of Ornithology, 2021)
In this paper, we extend our understanding of the migration of Black-tailed Godwits ( Limosa limosa limosa ) by describing: (1) the orientation and geographic locations of individual migratory routes and (2) the spatial distribution of godwits across seasons and years. We accomplish this using satellite-tracking data from 36 adult godwits breeding in the 200-ha Haanmeer polder in The Netherlands, from 2015 to 2018. During both southward and northward migration, godwits used a narrow migratory corridor along which most individuals made stops within a network of sites, especially the Bay of Biscay, France and Doñana, Spain. Most sites were used consistently by the same individuals across years. However, sites in Morocco were used during northward migration by 75% of individuals, but not revisited by the same individual across years. After southward migration, a small proportion (15%) of godwits spent the entire non-breeding period north of the Sahara, but most (85%) crossed the Sahara and spent at least part of the non-breeding season among seven coastal sites in West Africa and one site in the Inner Niger Delta. Although site-use patterns varied among individuals, individuals showed high site fidelity and were consistent in the number of sites they used from year to year. The considerable differences in the spatial distribution of individuals that breed within a kilometre of one another raise questions about the causes and consequences of individual migratory differences. We discuss that full annual cycle tracking of juveniles from birth to adulthood is needed to understand the source of these individual differences. Our results on the spatial distribution of godwits throughout their annual cycle lay an important foundation of information that can be used to help conserve this declining species.

Role of major histocompatibility complex II antigen‐presentation pathway genes in orange‐spotted grouper infected with Cryptocaryon irritans - Jun‐Jin Deng; Shun Xu; Yan‐Wei Li; Dong‐Dong Xu; Ze‐Quan Mo; Jia‐Zhou Li; Xue‐Ming Dan; Xiao‐Chun Luo (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2020)
Cryptocaryon irritans , a pathogen model for fish mucosal immunity, causes skin mucosal and systematic humoral immune response. Where and how MHC II antigen presentation occurs in fish infected with C . irritans remain unknown. In this study, the full‐length cDNA of the grouper cysteine protease CTSS was cloned. The expression distributions of six genes (CTSB, CTSL, CTSS, GILT, MHC IIA and MHC IIB) involved in MHC II antigen presentation pathway were tested. These genes were highly expressed in systematic immune tissues and skin and gill mucosal‐associated immune tissues. All six genes were upregulated in skin at most time points. Five genes expected CTSS was upregulated in spleen at most time points. CTSB, CTSL and MHC IIA were upregulated in the gill and head kidney at some time points. These results indicate that the presentation of MHC II antigen intensively occurred in local infected skin and gill. Spleen, not head kidney, had the most extensive systematic antigen presentation. In skin, six genes most likely peaked at day 2, earlier than in spleen (5–7 days), marking an earlier skin antibody peak than any recorded in serum previously. This significant and earlier mucosal antigen presentation indicates that specific immune response occurs in local mucosal tissues.

Molecular Cloning and Polymorphism Analysis of PmFGF18 from Pinctada fucata martensii - Ruijuan Hao; Chuchu Mo; Linda Adzigbli; Chuangye Yang; Yuewen Deng; Qingheng Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
Fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) plays an important functional role in skeletal growth and development. The FGF18 gene was characterized in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii (PmFGF18) with the full-length sequence containing an open reading frame of 714 bp encoding 237 amino acids. The domain analysis of PmFGF18 showed a distinctive FGF domain, with a high similarity to FGF18 protein sequences from Crassostrea gigas (43.35%) and C. virginica (37.43%). PmFGF18 expression was revealed in all analyzed tissues with a significantly higher expression level in the fast-growing group than the slow-growing group. The analysis of PmFGF18 polymorphism demonstrated 33 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in the CDS and promoter region of PmFGF18 sequence. Association analysis revealed 19 SNPs (2 SNPs from CDS and 17 SNPs from the promoter region) associating significantly with growth traits. Among the associated SNPs, one SNP g.50918198 A > C was verified in the other breeding line. Therefore, PmFGF18 can be utilized as a candidate gene for growth, and its related SNPs could be used in selective breeding of P. f. martensii for the improvement of growth traits.

Effects of human disturbance activities and environmental change factors on terrestrial nitrogen fixation - Mianhai Zheng; Zhenghu Zhou; Ping Zhao; Yiqi Luo; Qing Ye; Kerong Zhang; Liang Song; Jiangming Mo (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Biological nitrogen (N) fixation plays an important role in terrestrial N cycling and represents a key driver of terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP). Despite the importance of N fixation in terrestrial ecosystems, our knowledge regarding the controls on terrestrial N fixation remains poor. Here, we conducted a meta‐analysis (based on 852 observations from 158 studies) of N fixation across three types of ecosystems with different status of disturbance (no management, restoration [previously disturbed], and disturbance [currently disturbed]) and in response to multiple environmental change factors (warming, elevated carbon dioxide [CO 2 ], increased precipitation, increased drought, increased N deposition, and their combinations). We explored the mechanisms underlying the changes in N fixation by examining the variations in soil physicochemical properties (bulk density, texture, moisture, and pH), plant and microbial characteristics (dominant plant species numbers, plant coverage, and soil microbial biomass), and soil resources (total carbon, total N, total phosphorus (P), inorganic N, and inorganic P). Human disturbance inhibited non‐symbiotic N fixation but not symbiotic N fixation. Terrestrial N fixation was stimulated by warming (+152.7%), elevated CO 2 (+19.6%), and increased precipitation (+73.1%) but inhibited by increased drought (−30.4%), N deposition (−31.0%), and combinations of available multiple environmental change factors (−14.5%), the extents of which varied among biomes and ecosystem compartments. Human disturbance reduced the N fixation responses to environmental change factors, which was associated with the changes in soil physicochemical properties (2%‒56%, p p ≤ .003) and soil resources (6%‒48%, p ≤ .03). Overall, our findings reveal for the first time the effects of multiple environmental change factors on terrestrial N fixation and indicate the role of human disturbance activities in inhibiting N fixation, which can improve our understanding, modeling, and prediction of terrestrial N budgets, NPP, and ecosystem feedbacks under global change scenarios.

At the end of October 2018, a storm of unprecedented strength severely damaged the forests of the eastern sector of the Italian Alps. The affected forest area covers 42,500 ha. The president of one of the damaged regions asked for help from the University of Padua. After eight months of discussion, the authors of this article wrote a consensus text. The sometimes asper debate brought to light some crucial aspects: 1) even experienced specialists may have various opinions based on scientific knowledge that lead to conflicting proposals for action. For some of them there is evidence that to restore a destroyed natural environment it is more judicious to do nothing; 2) the soil corresponds to a living structure and every ecosystem’s management should be based on it; 3) faced with a catastrophe, people and politicians find themselves unarmed, also because they rarely have the scientific background to understand natural processes. Yet politicians are the only persons who make the key decisions that drive the economy in play and therefore determine the near future of our planet. This article is an attempt to respond directly to a governor with a degree in animal production science, who formally and prudently asked a university department called “Land, Environment, Agriculture and Forestry” for help before taking decisions; 4) the authors also propose an artistic interpretation of facts (uncontrolled storm) and conclusions (listen to the soil). Briefly, the authors identify the soil as an indispensable source for the renewal of the destroyed forest, give indications on how to prepare a map of the soils of the damaged region, and suggest to anchor on this soil map a series of silvicultural and soil management actions that will promote the soil conservation and the faster recovery of the natural dynamic stability and resilience.

Pathogenic characterization of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. masoucida turbot isolate from China - Ping Wang; Jie Li; Tian Tian He; Nan Li; Zhao Lan Mo; Pin Nie; Hai Xia Xie (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2020)
Aeromonas salmonicida is a gram‐negative bacterium that is the causative agent of furunculosis. An A. salmonicida strain was isolated from diseased turbot ( Scophthalmus maximus ) with the sign of furunculosis from North China. Based on vapA gene, the strain was further classified as A. salmonicida subsp. masoucida RZ6S‐1. Culturing RZ6S‐1 strain at high temperature (28°C) obtained the virulence attenuated strain RZ6S. Genome sequence comparison between the two strains revealed the loss of the type IV secretion system (T4SS) and type III secretion system (T3SS) from the native plasmid pAsmB‐1 and pAsmC‐1 of wild‐type strain RZ6S‐1, respectively. Further study demonstrated that the wild‐type strain RZ6S‐1, but not its derivative mutant RZ6S, can stimulate apoptosis. Elevated protein level of cleaved caspase‐3 was detected from epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells infected with wild‐type strain RZ6S‐1 as compared with that infected with RZ6S strain. Meanwhile, the invasion of the mutant strain RZ6S was about 17‐fold higher than the wild‐type strain RZ6S‐1, suggesting that some protein(s) from A. salmonicida subsp. masoucida RZ6S‐1 suppress its invasion. The RZ6S mutant strain was attenuated, since its LD 50 is over 10,000 times higher compared to the wild‐type strain as revealed in the turbot infection model.

Optimization of irrigation and fertilization of drip‐irrigated corn in the chernozem area of north‐east China based on the CERES‐Maize model - Chunxiao Fu; Jiandong Wang; Shihong Gong; Yanqun Zhang; Chuanjuan Wang; Yan Mo (Irrigation and Drainage, 2020)
To improve water and nitrogen utilization efficiency, and reduce nitrogen leaching in the chernozem area of north‐east China, field trial data and the CERES‐Maize model were used to optimize irrigation and fertilization management of drip‐irrigated corn. In this study field trial data for drip‐irrigated corn from 2014 and 2015 were used to calibrate and validate the CERES‐Maize model. Results show that yield and nitrogen leaching declined with decrease in the nitrogen fertilizer amount applied. Compared with the traditional nitrogen fertilizer amount applied in the study area (330 kg ha¯¹), yield was decreased with nitrogen fertilizer amounts of ≤170 kg ha¯¹, and nitrogen leaching was decreased with nitrogen fertilizer amounts of ≤240 kg ha¯¹. Yield was decreased in the absence of or reduced topdressing at the jointing stage, and nitrogen leaching was increased by topdressing at the jointing stage. Based on the results of simulations, it is suggested that drip‐irrigated corn in the chernozem area should be irrigated three or four times during the entire growth period. A total nitrogen fertilizer amount of 240 or 230 kg ha¯¹, and topdressing ratios at the jointing, tasseling and grain‐filling stages of 2/5–0‐3/5 or 1/3–1/3–1/3 were recommended. Eight optimal irrigation and fertilization schedules were identified. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
