Biogeographic distribution patterns of the bacterial and archaeal communities in two seamounts in the Pacific Ocean - Ning-Hua Liu; Jun Ma; Si-Qi Lin; Kui-Dong Xu; Yu-Zhong Zhang; Qi-Long Qin; Xi-Ying Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Seamounts are important components of seafloor topography and have a significant influence on the biogeographic distribution of marine microorganisms. However, current studies on the biogeographic distribution patterns of microorganisms in the ocean around seamounts are still inadequate. This study investigated the bacterial and archaeal communities present in the water column at various depths around the Kocebu and M5 seamounts located in the western Pacific Ocean using 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. The analyses showed that microbial communities had different alpha diversities and species compositions in samples from the same depth, and disruption of vertical stratification of microbes was observed in deep water layers at both seamounts. The stochastic processes dominated the microbial community assembly around two seamounts, for the Kocebu Seamount, drift accounted for 34.99% and 64.85% in the bacterial and archaeal community assembly processes, respectively; while the corresponding values for the M5 Seamount were 14.07% and 58.65%. Despite the low explanatory power of environmental variables for microbial communities, dissolved inorganic nitrogen was the most significant factor influencing the microbial community structure in seawater around seamounts. Overall, our results revealed that the presence of Kocebu and M5 seamounts enhance the vertical mixing of microbial communities in the surrounding seawater, and stochastic processes dominate microbial community assembly. Considering the numerous seamounts in the global ocean, the impacts of seamounts on marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles may have been underestimated.

TCRN: A Two-Step Underwater Image Enhancement Network Based on Triple-Color Space Feature Reconstruction - Sen Lin; Ruihang Zhang; Zemeng Ning; Jie Luo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The underwater images acquired by marine detectors inevitably suffer from quality degradation due to color distortion and the haze effect. Traditional methods are ineffective in removing haze, resulting in the residual haze being intensified during color correction and contrast enhancement operations. Recently, deep-learning-based approaches have achieved greatly improved performance. However, most existing networks focus on the characteristics of the RGB color space, while ignoring factors such as saturation and hue, which are more important to the human visual system. Considering the above research, we propose a two-step triple-color space feature fusion and reconstruction network (TCRN) for underwater image enhancement. Briefly, in the first step, we extract LAB, HSV, and RGB feature maps of the image via a parallel U-net-like network and introduce a dense pixel attention module (DPM) to filter the haze noise of the feature maps. In the second step, we first propose the utilization of fully connected layers to enhance the long-term dependence between high-dimensional features of different color spaces; then, a group structure is used to reconstruct specific spacial features. When applied to the UFO dataset, our method improved PSNR by 0.21% and SSIM by 0.1%, compared with the second-best method. Numerous experiments have shown that our TCRN brings competitive results compared with state-of-the-art methods in both qualitative and quantitative analyses.

Hydrogen injection reduces ammonia nitrogen and changes microbial community composition in aquaculture water - Shengdi Ning; Junru Hu; Jie Yu; Long Huang; Minjian Lai; Xiangni Li; Yongchun Lin; Wanqing Zhong; Lei Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The study aimed to investigate the effect of hydrogen on nitrogen and phosphorus removal and microbial community composition in aquaculture water. Two groups were designed separated: Group H was charged with hydrogen and Group D was set as control. Water samples were collected at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days after hydrogen injection to detect not only the content of total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen and phosphorus, but also microbial community composition in aquaculture water. Our findings have demonstrated that 7-days’ hydrogen treatment could effectively reduce ammonia nitrogen in aquaculture water. And in Day 7, the concentration of ammonia nitrogen in Group D was 1.66 times as that in Group H. Meanwhile, microbial structures in the water bodies of these two groups were significantly different. The abundance of bacteria such as Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Desulphuri a increased clearly in Group H, which means nitrification and denitrification occurred in the effect of hydrogen injection. These findings suggested that hydrogen could significantly improve aquaculture water health and reduce the production of ammonia nitrogen, which means hydrogen could be used as a functional external method to protect the aquaculture environment.

Numerical and Experimental Investigations on Non-Linear Wave Action on Offshore Wind Turbine Monopile Foundation - Sijia Deng; Ming Qin; Dezhi Ning; Lin Lin; Songxiong Wu; Chongwei Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Monopiles are commonly utilized in offshore wind farms but are prone to non-linear wave loads and run-ups, significantly affecting their engineering design. Therefore, it is crucial to pursue a complete understanding of the non-linear wave action on monopile foundations. Both numerical and experimental investigations on the non-linear wave loads and run-ups on an offshore wind turbine monopile foundation are performed in this paper. The experiment is carried out at a scale of 1/30 in a wave flume at the State Key Laboratory of Coastal and Offshore Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, in which the wave loads and run-ups along the monopile are measured. Based on the second-order potential flow model and time-domain higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM), the related numerical tests are conducted to study the non-linear effects further. It is found that the present non-linear potential theory is sufficient for the simulation of wave force and run-ups on the monopile in the range of wave slope kA

Identification and Characterization of Bacillus subtilis B9: A Diazotrophic Plant Growth-Promoting Endophytic Bacterium Isolated from Sugarcane Root - Yi-ning Di; Ling Kui; Pratiksha Singh; Lu-feng Liu; Lin-yan Xie; Li-lian He; Fu-sheng Li (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2023)
Plant endophytic microorganisms, which can enhance plant growth and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, are untapped resources with large potential applications for crop production. However, the endophytic community is influenced by multiple factors, such as host genetics, the environment, and other microbes. Thus, it is important to characterize well-adapted endophytes from native crops. We isolated 43 endophytic bacteria from sugarcane cultivar Yunzhe-99-91. All these 43 isolates were examined in vitro for nitrogenase activity and the ability to dissolve phosphorus and produce siderophore. One of these strains, B9, identified as Bacillus subtilis and showed maximum plant growth promotion, was selected for detailed studies. B9 promoted the production of organic acids such as propionic acid, acetic acid, malic acid and citric acid, and the production of phytohormones, including indole-3-acetic acid, cytokinin, 6-benzyladenine, and zeatin. Moreover, B9 significantly promoted the growth of sugarcane plantlets and increased the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the seedlings by 29.26%, 50.78%, and 15.49%, respectively. The photosynthetic rate, root development, and chlorophyll content were also improved with varying degrees compared to the non-inoculated control. The cotyledon and hypocotyl of sugarcane gems germinated faster when co-cultured with the B9 strain compared with control group. Colonization assay showed that B9 was mainly colonized in the roots, followed by the stems and leaves. In conclusion, the positive interaction between endophytic strain B9 and sugarcane may provide long-lasting benefits and a direction for developing and utilizing B9 as a biofertilizer for sugarcane cultivation to decrease fertilizer application.

Plant secondary metabolite and temperature determine the prevalence of Arsenophonus endosymbionts in aphid populations - Chun‐Yan Chang; Xiao‐Wan Sun; Pan‐Pan Tian; Ning‐Hui Miao; Yu‐Lin Zhang; Xiang‐Dong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Transmission rate and role in hosts contribute to the prevalence of an endosymbiont. However, factors affecting transmission and role of facultative endosymbionts are still not well understood. Here, we illustrated that host plants and environmental temperatures affected the transmission, relative abundance and role of Arsenophonus in the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii . The transmission rate of this endosymbiont from mother aphids to offspring was relatively lower. High temperatures impeded the transmission, and infection rates declined as aphids were exposed to 30°C. Contents of amino acids and secondary metabolites were remarkably different among host plants. Aphids feeding on zucchini leaves containing a higher titre of amino acids and lower secondary metabolites harboured a relatively lower abundance of Arsenophonus . Concentrations of an amino acid and a plant secondary metabolite, cucurbitacin B, in aphid diet were not associated with Arsenophonus abundance. However, gossypol, another plant secondary metabolite, was strongly related with the abundance. Arsenophonus imparted a fitness benefit to aphids, and the benefit was dependent on host plants and gossypol concentration. In sum, plant secondary metabolite and environmental temperature affect transmission, relative abundance and role of Arsenophonus , which determine the endosymbiont prevalence in aphid populations.

Functional connections between bird eggshell stiffness and nest characteristics through risk of egg collision in nests - Chih‐Ming Hung; Shu‐Han Tsao; Pei‐Lin Chiang; Shang‐Ping Wu; Mao‐Ning Tuanmu; Jia‐Yang Juang (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Eggs and nests are two critical traits for the ecological success of birds. Their functional interactions, however, remain unclear. Here, we examined the functional connections between egg stiffness and nest attachment, site and structure for 1350 avian species. We revealed high eggshell stiffness for eggs in nests with a pensile attachment, located on non‐tree vegetation or having a domed shape, suggesting that birds produce stiffer eggs in response to higher egg‐collision risk in unstable or enclosed nests. Interdependence models suggested that the evolution of eggshell stiffness was more likely to be driven by than drive that of nest characters. Our results implied a trade‐off between investment in competing for established nesting niches and producing stiff eggs to explore novel niches with high collision risk, possibly mediated by predation or thermoregulation. This study highlights an overlooked connection between nests and eggshells that may have broadened the ecological niches of birds.

Larval Fish Assemblages and Distribution Patterns in the Zhongsha Atoll (Macclesfield Bank, South China Sea) - Delian Huang; Jing Chen; Lei Xu; Xuehui Wang; Jiajia Ning; Yafang Li; Lianggen Wang; Shuangshuang Liu; Zhaojin Lin; Feiyan Du (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The remote coral reef in the deep sea is one of the most important nursery grounds for many marine fishes in the South China Sea. Diversity studies on larval fishes in this area are few, and the fish information on the coral reefs ecosystem is lacking. In this study, larval fishes were sampled during the summer of 2019 from the Zhongsha Atoll in the South China Sea and identified using DNA barcodes for the first time. Ninety-five larval fish species were recognized, belonging to 37 families and 12 orders based on morphological classification and DNA barcoding identification. The larval fish collected could be assigned to three categories as reef-associated, deep-sea, and pelagic. Most of the species were small fish with low commercial value but would play an essential role in the coral reef ecosystem. Some commercial fishes, including Auxis thazard, Euthynnus affinis, Sarda orientalis, Decapterus macarellus, Lutjanus viridis , and Centropyge vrolikii , were the dominant species higher than 2% total catch. The larval fish assemblage showed distinct spatial differences responding well with the geographical conditions. The most reef-associated fish occurred inside the Atoll, and the abyssal fish presented near the edge. In addition, larval fish spread over from the southwest to northeast may reflect the oceanography effect.

The brown root rot fungus Phellinus noxius affects microbial communities in different root‐associated niches of Ficus trees - Tse‐Yen Liu; Chao‐Han Chen; Yu‐Liang Yang; Isheng J. Tsai; Ying‐Ning Ho; Chia‐Lin Chung (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Brown root rot (BRR) caused by Phellinus noxius is a destructive tree disease in tropical and subtropical areas. To understand how BRR affects the composition of the plant rhizoplane‐enriched microbiota, the microbiomes within five root‐associated compartments (i.e., bulk soil, old/young root rhizosphere soil, old/young root tissue) of Ficus trees naturally infected by P. noxius were investigated. The level of P. noxius infection was determined by quantitative PCR. Illumina sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer and 16S rRNA revealed that P. noxius infection caused a significant reduction in fungal diversity in the bulk soil, the old root rhizosphere soil, and the old root tissue. Interestingly, Cosmospora was the only fungal genus positively correlated with P. noxius . The abundance and composition of dominant bacterial taxa such as Actinomadura , Bacillus , Rhodoplanes , and Streptomyces differed between BRR‐diseased and healthy samples. Furthermore, 838 isolates belonging to 26 fungal and 35 bacterial genera were isolated and tested for interactions with P. noxius . Antagonistic activities were observed for isolates of Bacillus , Pseudomonas , Aspergillus , Penicillium , and Trichoderma . Cellophane overlay and cellulose/lignin utilization assays suggested that Cosmospora could tolerate the secretions of P. noxius and that the degradation of lignin by P. noxius may create suitable conditions for Cosmorpora growth.

Growth Differentiation Factor-15 Produces Analgesia by Inhibiting Tetrodotoxin-Resistant Nav1.8 Sodium Channel Activity in Rat Primary Sensory Neurons - Wei Lin; Wen-Wen Zhang; Ning Lyu; Hong Cao; Wen-Dong Xu; Yu-Qiu Zhang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily. It is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Whether and how GDF-15 modulates nociceptive signaling remains unclear. Behaviorally, we found that peripheral GDF-15 significantly elevated nociceptive response thresholds to mechanical and thermal stimuli in naïve and arthritic rats. Electrophysiologically, we demonstrated that GDF-15 decreased the excitability of small-diameter dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Furthermore, GDF-15 concentration-dependently suppressed tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium channel Nav1.8 currents, and shifted the steady-state inactivation curves of Nav1.8 in a hyperpolarizing direction. GDF-15 also reduced window currents and slowed down the recovery rate of Nav1.8 channels, suggesting that GDF-15 accelerated inactivation and slowed recovery of the channel. Immunohistochemistry results showed that activin receptor-like kinase-2 (ALK2) was widely expressed in DRG medium- and small-diameter neurons, and some of them were Nav1.8-positive. Blockade of ALK2 prevented the GDF-15-induced inhibition of Nav1.8 currents and nociceptive behaviors. Inhibition of PKA and ERK, but not PKC, blocked the inhibitory effect of GDF-15 on Nav1.8 currents. These results suggest a functional link between GDF-15 and Nav1.8 in DRG neurons via ALK2 receptors and PKA associated with MEK/ERK, which mediate the peripheral analgesia of GDF-15.

Report of epibenthic macrofauna found from Haima cold seeps and adjacent deep-sea habitats, South China Sea - Dong Dong; Xinzheng Li; Mei Yang; Lin Gong; Yang Li; Jixing Sui; Zhibin Gan; Qi Kou; Ning Xiao; Junlong Zhang (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2021)
This work reports on a preliminary taxonomic study of epibenthic macroinvertebrates collected or observed by underwater video at the Haima cold seeps and in adjacent deep-sea habitats, including a mud volcano field and Ganquan Plateau, during an expedition in the South China Sea by the Chinese-manned submersible Shenhai Yongshi in May 2018. A total of 41 species belonging to 6 phyla were identified, among which 34 species were collected from the Haima cold seeps. Mollusks and crustaceans that are specialized in reducing habitats were predominant in biotopes of the Haima cold seeps, whereas sponges and cold-water corals and their commensals were prominent in communities of the mud volcano field and the slopes of Ganquan Plateau. The distribution and faunal composition of each taxonomic group are discussed.

The contrasting effects of thermodynamic and dynamic processes on East Asian summer monsoon precipitation during the Last Glacial Maximum: a data-model comparison - Yong Sun; Haibin Wu; Masa Kageyama; Gilles Ramstein; Laurent Z. X. Li; Ning Tan; Yating Lin; Bo Liu; Weipeng Zheng; Wenchao Zhang; Liwei Zou; Tianjun Zhou (Climate Dynamics, 2021)
The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 21 ka BP) was the most recent glacial period when the global ice sheet volume was at a maximum. Therefore, the LGM can be used to investigate atmospheric dynamics under a climate that differed significantly from the present. This study quantitatively compares pollen records of boreal summer (June–July–August) precipitation with the PMIP3 LGM simulations. The data-model comparison shows an overall agreement on a drier than pre-industrial East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) climate. Nevertheless, 17 out of 55 records show a regional precipitation increase that is also simulated over the additional land mass area due to sea level drop. The thermodynamic and dynamic responses are analyzed to explain a drier LGM EASM as a combination of these two antagonistic mechanisms. Relatively low atmospheric moisture content was the main thermodynamic control on the lower LGM (relative to pre-industrial levels) EASM precipitation amounts in both the reconstructions and the models. In contrast, two dynamic processes in relation to stationary eddy activity act to increase EASM precipitation regionally in records and simulations, respectively. Precipitation increase in records is explained by dynamic enhancement of the horizontal moisture transport, while dynamic enhancement of the vertical moisture transport leads to simulated precipitation increase over the specific region where landmass was exposed during LGM along continental coastlines of China due to significant drop in sea level (relative to pre-industrial levels). Overall, the opposing effects of thermodynamic and dynamic processes on precipitation during the LGM provide a means to reconcile the spatial heterogeneity of recorded precipitation changes in sign, although data-model comparison suggests that the simulated dynamic wetting mechanism is too weak relative to the thermodynamic drying mechanism over data-model disagreement regions.

Sea level rise (SLR) and tropical cyclone (TC) climatology change could impact future flood hazards in Jamaica Bay—an urbanized back-barrier bay in New York—yet their compound impacts are not well understood. This study estimates the compound effects of SLR and TC climatology change on flood hazards in Jamaica Bay from a historical period in the late twentieth century (1980–2000) to future periods in the mid- and late-twenty-first century (2030–2050 and 2080–2100, under RCP8.5 greenhouse gas concentration scenario). Flood return periods are estimated based on probabilistic projections of SLR and peak storm tides simulated by a hydrodynamic model for large numbers of synthetic TCs. We find a substantial increase in the future flood hazards, e.g., the historical 100-year flood level would become a 9- and 1-year flood level in the mid- and late-twenty-first century and the 500-year flood level would become a 143- and 4-year flood level. These increases are mainly induced by SLR. However, TC climatology change would considerably contribute to the future increase in low-probability, high-consequence flood levels (with a return period greater than 100 year), likely due to an increase in the probability of occurrence of slow-moving but intense TCs by the end of twenty-first century. We further conduct high-resolution coastal flood simulations for a series of SLR and TC scenarios. Due to the SLR projected with a 5% exceedance probability, 125- and 1300-year flood events in the late-twentieth century would become 74- and 515-year flood events, respectively, in the late-twenty-first century, and the spatial extent of flooding over coastal floodplains of Jamaica Bay would increase by nearly 10 and 4 times, respectively. In addition, SLR leads to larger surface waves induced by TCs in the bay, suggesting a potential increase in hazards associated with wave runup, erosion, and damage to coastal infrastructure.

Identification of Cyt2Ba from a New Strain of Bacillus thuringiensis and Its Toxicity in Bradysia difformis - Fan-Fan Wang; Shao-Xuan Qu; Jin-Sheng Lin; Hui-Ping Li; Li-Juan Hou; Ning Jiang; Xin Luo; Lin Ma (Current Microbiology, 2020)
Bradysia difformis is one of the most damaging pests in mushroom production in China. In this study, eight Bacillus thuringiensis strains were analyzed for insecticidal activity in B. difformis . The strain JW-1 showed the highest insecticidal activity against B. difformis larvae, but did not inhibit the mycelial growth of Pleurotus ostreatus and P. geesteranus . The 16S rRNA gene (1397 bp) and cyt2 gene (792 bp) were obtained from strain JW-1. The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene and Cyt2 toxin showed that strain JW-1 was a member of B. thuringiensis and Cyt2 toxin belonged to Cyt2Ba toxin cluster. The Cyt2Ba toxin from strain JW-1 was overexpressed in E. coli as a fusion protein and the fusion protein (70 kDa) was purified by Ni-IDA affinity chromatography. The purified Cyt2Ba fusion protein was toxic to B. difformis larvae (LC 50 was 2.25 ng/mL). The identification of Cyt2Ba from strain JW-1 and confirmation of the insecticidal activity of Cyt2Ba in B. difformis provided a new means of biological control of the important pest in mushroom production.

Soil bacterial communities are pivotal in regulating terrestrial biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem functions. The increase in global nitrogen (N) deposition has impacted various aspects of terrestrial ecosystems, but we still have a rudimentary understanding of whether there is a threshold for N input level beyond which soil bacterial communities will experience critical transitions. Using high‐throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, we examined soil bacterial responses to a long‐term (13 yr), multi‐level, N addition experiment in a temperate steppe of northern China. We found that plant diversity decreased in a linear fashion with increasing N addition. However, bacterial diversity responded nonlinearly to N addition, such that it was unaffected by N input below 16 g N·m −2 ·yr −1 , but decreased substantially when N input exceeded 32 g N·m −2 ·yr −1 . A meta‐analysis across four N addition experiments in the same study region further confirmed this nonlinear response of bacterial diversity to N inputs. Substantial changes in soil bacterial community structure also occurred between N input levels of 16 to 32 g N·m −2 ·yr −1 . Further analysis revealed that the loss of soil bacterial diversity was primarily attributed to the reduction in soil pH, whereas changes in soil bacterial community were driven by the combination of increased N availability, reduced soil pH, and changes in plant community structure. In addition, we found that N addition shifted bacterial communities toward more putatively copiotrophic taxa. Overall, our study identified a threshold of N input level for bacterial diversity and community composition. The nonlinear response of bacterial diversity to N input observed in our study indicates that although bacterial communities are resistant to low levels of N input, further increase in N input could trigger a critical transition, shifting bacterial communities to a low‐diversity state.

Integrated fate assessment of aromatic amines in aerobic sewage treatment plants - Lin Jun Zhou; Zhi Yi Rong; Wen Gu; De Ling Fan; Ji Ning Liu; Li Li Shi; Yan Hua Xu; Zhi Ying Liu (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020)
The fate and exposure of chemicals in sewage treatment plants (STPs) are major considerations in risk assessment and environmental regulation. The biodegradability and removal of seven aromatic amines were systematically evaluated using a three-tiered integrated method: a standard ready biodegradability test, an aerobic sewage treatment simulation method, and model prediction. In tier 1, the seven aromatic amines were not readily biodegraded after 28 days. In adapted aerobic active sludge, 4-isopropyl aniline, 2,4-diaminotoluene, and 4-nitroaniline among them exhibited the degradation half-life time less than 20 h, the other four aromatic amines exhibited persistent with degradation half-life of > 60 h. In tier 2 of the aerobic sewage treatment simulation testing, 2,4-diaminotoluene, 4-nitroaniline, and 4-isopropylaniline demonstrated moderately to high overall removal. Hydraulic retention time (HRT) affects the removal with the optimum HRT was determined to be 12 h to 24. 2,6-Dimethyl aniline, 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline, 2,6-diethylaniline, and 3,4-dichloroaniline were not removed during the test, indicting these four aromatic amines will enter surface water and hence pose a potential risk to aquatic ecology. Considering the lack of an STP model in China for regulation purposes, in tier 3, we developed a Chinese STP (aerobic) (abbreviated as C-STP(O)) model that reflects a universal scenario for China to predict the fate. The predicted degradation, volatilization, and absorption showed a close relationship to the physicochemical properties of the chemicals, and had same tendency with tier 2 simulation test. The prediction showed that biodegradation rather than absorption or volatilization was the main removal process of aromatic amines in aerobic STP. With the combination of modified kinetics test with C-STP (O) model, the chemical fate can be more accurately predicted than using only the readily biodegradation result.

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait‐based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits—almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives.

We used the cytochrome oxidase subunit I ( coI ) gene DNA to barcode 117 endemic Gulf and cosmopolitan Indo–West Pacific fish species belonging to 54 families and 13 orders. Novel DNA barcodes were provided for 18 fish species ( Trachinocephalus sp., Nematalosa sp., Herklotsichthys lossei , Upeneus doriae , Trachurus indicus , Apogonichthyoides taeniatus , Verulux cypselurus , Favonigobius sp., Suezichthus gracilis , Sillago sp., Brachirus orientalis , Pegusa sp., Lepidotrigla bispinosa , Lepidotrigla sp., Grammoplites suppositus , Hippichthys sp., Paramonacanthus sp. and Triacanthus sp.). The species delimitation analysis, conducted with Poisson tree processes– Bayesian PTP (PTP–bPTP) and nucleotide‐divergence‐threshold (NDT) models), found 137 and 119 entities respectively. Overall, NDT method, neighbour‐joining species tree and the prior taxonomic assessment provided similar results. Among the 54 families considered, only 10 (Ariommatidae, Ephippidae, Leiognathidae, Nemipteridae, Plotosidae, Pomacanthidae, Pomacentridae, Priacanthidae and Rachycentridae) showed the occurrence of molecular diagnostic pure characters. The DNA barcoding database developed during this study will help ichthyologists to identify and resolve the taxonomic ambiguities they may encounter with the fishes occurring in The Gulf and throughout the region.
