Luminescence chronology of the Palaeolithic–Neolithic transition in the Yujiagou site at the Nihewan Basin, northern China - Xue Rui; Yu‐Jie Guo; Jia‐Fu Zhang; Yue Hu; Hui‐Jie Mei; You‐Ping Wang; Fei Xie; Bo Li (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2019)
The relationship between the Palaeolithic–Neolithic cultural transition and environmental changes is important for understanding human history. However, the timing and nature of human behaviour at the transition, and their relationship to local environmental conditions, remain poorly understood. The Yujiagou archaeological site in the Nihewan Basin, northern China, provides valuable chronological and archaeological information about cultural changes in northern China due to its continuous archaeological sequence of cultural layers from the Palaeolithic to Neolithic. In this study, we apply post‐infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIRIR) dating on individual feldspar grains to date the Yujiagou deposits. We provide a revised chronology for the archaeological sequence at the site. We combine these results with multi‐proxy climatic indicators to gain insights into palaeoenvironmental changes in the region. The results show that the age of the artefact‐bearing deposits ranges from 13.5 to 9.7 ka. Polished stones and pottery begin to occur in the archaeological layer around 13 ka, corresponding to a transitional period when the local climate changed from cold to warm. This site provides evidence for understanding the process that led to the regional transition from hunter‐gathering to farming.

MoPpe1 partners with MoSap1 to mediate TOR and cell wall integrity signalling in growth and pathogenicity of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae - Bin Qian; Xinyu Liu; Jia Jia; Yongchao Cai; Chen Chen; Haifeng Zhang; Xiaobo Zheng; Ping Wang; Zhengguang Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary In the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , the cell wall integrity (CWI) signalling pathway governs cell wall changes in response to external cues and normal CWI signalling is critical for appressorium function and pathogenicity. We previously characterized the mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase MoMkk1 as an integral component of the CWI pathway. Using the affinity purification approach, we have identified MoMkk1‐interacting MoPpe1 as a homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae serine/threonine protein phosphatase Sit4/Ppe1. We found that MoPpe1 is required for vegetative growth, conidiation and full virulence. In addition, we found that MoPpe1 interacts with MoSap1, a protein with functions similar to MoPpe1. Intriguingly, we found that MoPpe1–MoSap1 interaction is related to CWI and target of rapamycin (TOR) pathways. We presented evidence suggesting that MoPpe1 and MoSap1 function as an adaptor complex linking CWI and TOR signalling and that the activation of the TOR pathway leads to suppression of CWI signalling, resulting in defects in appressorium function and pathogenicity. Taken together, our studies not only reveal important functions of MoMkk1–MoPpe1–MoSap1 interactions in growth and pathogenicity of the blast fungus, but also highlight the complexity of regulatory networks involving conserved yet novel regulatory mechanisms of CWI and TOR signalling.

Pigmented microbial eukaryotes fuel the deep sea carbon pool in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean - Dapeng Xu; Ping Sun; Yizhe Zhang; Ran Li; Bangqin Huang; Nianzhi Jiao; Alan Warren; Lei Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Phototrophic microbial eukaryotes dominate primary production over large oceanic regions. Due to their small sizes and slow sinking rates, it is assumed they contribute relatively little to the downward export of organic carbon via the biological pump. Therefore, the community structure of phototrophic cells in the deep ocean has long been overlooked and remains largely unknown. In this study, we used an integrative approach, including epifluorescence microscopy, sequencing of 18S rRNA and photosystem‐II psbA gene transcripts, to investigate phototrophic microbial eukaryotes in samples collected from the tropical Western Pacific Ocean. It was found that: (i) pigmented nano‐sized eukaryotes (PNEs) are ubiquitous in the deep Western Pacific Ocean down to 5000 m depth; (ii) the PNE community is dominated by cells 2–5 μm in size; (iii) their abundance is significant, averaging 4 ± 1 (± s.e.) cells ml −1 in waters below 1000 m which is comparable to that of heterotrophic nanoflagellates; (iv) the active pigmented microbial eukaryotes in the deep waters are highly diverse and dominated by Haptophyta followed by Chlorophyta and Bacillariophyta; (v) PNEs in deep waters were likely transported from surface ocean by various fast‐sinking mechanisms, thus contributing to the biological pump and fuelling the deep‐sea communities by supplying fresh organic carbon.

Dominant regions and drivers of the variability of the global land carbon sink across timescales - Xuanze Zhang; Ying‐Ping Wang; Shushi Peng; Peter J. Rayner; Philippe Ciais; Jeremy D. Silver; Shilong Piao; Zaichun Zhu; Xingjie Lu; Xiaogu Zheng (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Net biome productivity ( NBP ) dominates the observed large variation of atmospheric CO 2 annual increase over the last five decades. However, the dominant regions controlling inter‐annual to multi‐decadal variability of global NBP are still controversial (semi‐arid regions vs. temperate or tropical forests). By developing a theory for partitioning the variance of NBP into the contributions of net primary production ( NPP ) and heterotrophic respiration ( R h ) at different timescales, and using both observation‐based atmospheric CO 2 inversion product and the outputs of 10 process‐based terrestrial ecosystem models forced by 110‐year observational climate, we tried to reconcile the controversy by showing that semi‐arid lands dominate the variability of global NBP at inter‐annual ( 30 years). Results further indicate that global NBP variability is dominated by the NPP component at inter‐annual timescales, and is progressively controlled by R h with increasing timescale. Multi‐decadal NBP variations of tropical rainforests are modulated by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation ( PDO ) through its significant influences on both temperature and precipitation. This study calls for long‐term observations for the decadal or longer fluctuations in carbon fluxes to gain insights on the future evolution of global NBP , particularly in the tropical forests that dominate the decadal variability of land carbon uptake and are more effective for climate mitigation.

MoMip11, a MoRgs7‐interacting protein, functions as a scaffolding protein to regulate cAMP signaling and pathogenicity in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae - Ziyi Yin; Xiaofang Zhang; Jingzhen Wang; Lina Yang; Wanzhen Feng; Chen Chen; Chuyun Gao; Haifeng Zhang; Xiaobo Zheng; Ping Wang; Zhengguang Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae has eight regulators of G‐protein signaling (RGS) and RGS‐like proteins (MoRgs1 to MoRgs8) that exhibit both distinct and shared regulatory functions in the growth, differentiation and pathogenicity of the fungus. We found MoRgs7 with a unique RGS‐seven transmembrane (7‐TM) domain motif is localized to the highly dynamic tubule‐vesicular compartments during early appressorium differentiation followed by gradually degradation. To explore whether this involves an active signal perception of MoRgs7, we identified a Gbeta‐like/RACK1 protein homolog in M. oryzae MoMip11 that interacts with MoRgs7. Interestingly, MoMip11 selectively interacted with several components of the cAMP regulatory pathway, including Gα MoMagA and the high‐affinity phosphodiesterase MoPdeH. We further showed that MoMip11 promotes MoMagA activation and suppresses MoPdeH activity thereby upregulating intracellular cAMP levels. Moreover, MoMip11 is required for the response to multiple stresses, a role also shared by Gbeta‐like/RACK1 adaptor proteins. In summary, we revealed a unique mechanism by which MoMip11 links MoRgs7 and G‐proteins to reugulate cAMP signaling, stress responses and pathogenicity of M. oryzae . Our studies revealed the multitude of regulatory networks that govern growth, development and pathogenicity in this important causal agent of rice blast.

The importance of accounting for imperfect detection when estimating functional and phylogenetic community structure - Xingfeng Si; Marc W. Cadotte; Yuhao Zhao; Haonan Zhou; Di Zeng; Jiaqi Li; Tinghao Jin; Peng Ren; Yanping Wang; Ping Ding; Morgan W. Tingley (Ecology, 2018)
Incorporating imperfect detection when estimating species richness has become commonplace in the past decade. However, the question of how imperfect detection of species affects estimates of functional and phylogenetic community structure remains untested. We used long‐term counts of breeding bird species that were detected at least once on islands in a land‐bridge island system, and employed multi‐species occupancy models to assess the effects of imperfect detection of species on estimates of bird diversity and community structure by incorporating species traits and phylogenies. Our results showed that taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity were all underestimated significantly as a result of species’ imperfect detection, with taxonomic diversity showing the greatest bias. The functional and phylogenetic structure calculated from observed communities were both more clustered than those from the detection‐corrected communities due to missed distinct species. The discrepancy between observed and estimated diversity differed according to the measure of biodiversity employed. Our study demonstrates the importance of accounting for species’ imperfect detection in biodiversity studies, especially for functional and phylogenetic community ecology, and when attempting to infer community assembly processes. With datasets that allow for detection‐corrected community structure, we can better estimate diversity and infer the underlying mechanisms that structure community assembly, and thus make reliable management decisions for the conservation of biodiversity.

(Global Change Biology, 2018)
Given the important contributions of semiarid region to global land carbon cycle, accurate modeling of the interannual variability (IAV) of terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) is important but remains challenging. By decomposing GPP into leaf area index (LAI) and photosynthesis per leaf area (i.e., GPP_leaf), we investigated the IAV of GPP and the mechanisms responsible in a temperate grassland of northwestern China. We further assessed six ecosystem models for their capabilities in reproducing the observed IAV of GPP in a temperate grassland from 2004 to 2011 in China. We observed that the responses to LAI and GPP_leaf to soil water significantly contributed to IAV of GPP at the grassland ecosystem. Two of six models with prescribed LAI simulated of the observed IAV of GPP quite well, but still underestimated the variance of GPP_leaf, therefore the variance of GPP. In comparison, simulated pattern by the other four models with prognostic LAI differed significantly from the observed IAV of GPP. Only some models with prognostic LAI can capture the observed sharp decline of GPP in drought years. Further analysis indicated that accurately representing the responses of GPP_leaf and leaf stomatal conductance to soil moisture are critical for the models to reproduce the observed IAV of GPP_leaf. Our framework also identified that the contributions of LAI and GPP_leaf to the observed IAV of GPP were relatively independent. We conclude that our framework of decomposing GPP into LAI and GPP_leaf has a significant potential for facilitating future model intercomparison, benchmarking and optimization should be adopted for future data‐model comparisons.

Evolutionary relationships of two balitorids (Cypriniformes, Balitoridae) revealed by comparative mitogenomics - Li‐Xia Shi; Chen Zhang; Yin‐Ping Wang; Qiong‐Ying Tang; Patrick D. Danley; Huan‐Zhang Liu (Zoologica Scripta, 2018)
Balitoridae, a family within the Cypriniformes, inhabit torrential mountain streams in Asia. Although they have long fascinated ichthyologists for their numerous adaptations to this tumultuous environment, the evolutionary history of this group remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the evolutionary relationships of the balitorids with particular attention to the phylogenetic placement of two balitorid species, Yaoshania pachychulis and Erromyzon kalotaenia . Both species have extremely limited distributions, they are limited to Mt. Dayaoshan of the Pearl River in China and require dedicated conservation plans. However, little is known about their evolutionary relationships to other balitorids. Here, we examined the evolutionary relationships of Y. pachychulis and E. kalotaenia to each other and other balitorids through sequencing the complete mitochondrial genomes of nine balitorid individuals. For the newly sequenced balitorids, the length of the whole mitogenome, gene arrangement and their base composition are similar to those of other bony fishes. Analyses based on these newly sequenced mitogenomes and an additional 50 previously published mitogenomes show that Y. pachychulis and E. kalotaenia cluster as different clade within the subfamily Gastromyzontinae. The genetic distance between these two species ranges from 0.127 ± 0.003 to 0.132 ± 0.004 which is slightly higher than that between some genera (e.g. the distance between Vanmanenia and Metahomaloptera is 0.127 ± 0.004). Therefore, it is reasonable to assign Y. pachychulis and E. kalotaenia to different genera. Phylogenetic signal assessment suggested that ND 1 , ND 4 and ND 5 genes as well as their concatenated subsets perform relatively well in reconstructing the Cobitoidea phylogeny. The divergence time estimation indicated that the balitorids distributed in Mt. Dayaoshan might have originated and evolved following the flattening and uplifting of the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau during the late Miocene to late Pliocene.

Parameter optimization for carbon and water fluxes in two global land surface models based on surrogate modelling - Jianduo Li; Qingyun Duan; Ying‐Ping Wang; Wei Gong; Yanjun Gan; Chen Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Errors are quite large in the simulated carbon and water fluxes obtained by global models used for the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and reducing those errors is important for improving our confidence about these models and their projections. Errors in model parameter values are a major cause of those large modelling errors but can be significantly reduced if model parameter values are optimized. While parameter optimizations have been carried out at local sites or regional scales, parameter optimizations have been rarely conducted at the global scale because of the high computing costs required to optimize a large (>100) number of model parameters. In this study, we used an adaptive surrogate modelling based optimization (ASMO) method to maximize the match between simulated monthly global gross primary production (GPP) and latent heat flux (LE) derived by two global land surface models (LSMs) and the model‐data products for global GPP and LE from the 1982–2008 period generated by the Max Plank Institute. The ASMO method only required a few hundred model runs to find the optimal values of all optimized parameters for the two global LSMs [the Australian Community Atmosphere‐Biosphere‐Land Exchange (CABLE) and joint UK land environment simulator (JULES)]. Our results show that up to 65% of the model errors can be reduced by parameter optimization for most of the plant functional types (PFTs) and that the model performances of CABLE and JULES are significantly improved at 72 and 93% of the land points, respectively. At last, we discuss the limitations of this work and recommend that parameter optimization based on surrogate modelling using various observational data sets and acceptable prior information of uncertainties in model structure and observations should be considered as a key step in improving the performance of global LSMs or model intercomparisons.

Carbon cycle confidence and uncertainty: Exploring variation among soil biogeochemical models - William R. Wieder; Melannie D. Hartman; Benjamin N. Sulman; Ying‐Ping Wang; Charles D. Koven; Gordon B. Bonan (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Emerging insights into factors responsible for soil organic matter stabilization and decomposition are being applied in a variety of contexts, but new tools are needed to facilitate the understanding, evaluation, and improvement of soil biogeochemical theory and models at regional to global scales. To isolate the effects of model structural uncertainty on the global distribution of soil carbon stocks and turnover times we developed a soil biogeochemical testbed that forces three different soil models with consistent climate and plant productivity inputs. The models tested here include a first‐order, microbial implicit approach ( CASA ‐ CNP ), and two recently developed microbially explicit models that can be run at global scales ( MIMICS and CORPSE ). When forced with common environmental drivers, the soil models generated similar estimates of initial soil carbon stocks (roughly 1,400 Pg C globally, 0–100 cm), but each model shows a different functional relationship between mean annual temperature and inferred turnover times. Subsequently, the models made divergent projections about the fate of these soil carbon stocks over the 20 th century, with models either gaining or losing over 20 Pg C globally between 1901 and 2010. Single‐forcing experiments with changed inputs, temperature, and moisture suggest that uncertainty associated with freeze‐thaw processes as well as soil textural effects on soil carbon stabilization were larger than direct temperature uncertainties among models. Finally, the models generated distinct projections about the timing and magnitude of seasonal heterotrophic respiration rates, again reflecting structural uncertainties that were related to environmental sensitivities and assumptions about physicochemical stabilization of soil organic matter. By providing a computationally tractable and numerically consistent framework to evaluate models we aim to better understand uncertainties among models and generate insights about factors regulating the turnover of soil organic matter.

Do seasonal species assemblages differ in their biogeography? Evidence from the spatial structure of bird communities on land‐bridge islands - Chuanwu Chen; Marcel Holyoak; Xingfeng Si; Yanping Wang; Ping Ding (Journal of Biogeography, 2018)
Aim We tested the effects of season and migratory status (residents‐versus‐seasonal migrants) on island biogeography of bird assemblages through partitioning beta diversity into richness and turnover components and community nestedness metrics. We predicted that total beta diversity, the richness component of beta diversity and community nestedness will be lower for bird assemblages in winter than in summer, and lowest of all for winter visitors. These predictions were derived from published ideas about resource availability, movement and habitat choice in birds in different seasons. Location Thousand Island Lake, China. Methods Bird species were sampled using line transects on 36 islands during five breeding and winter seasons (2009−2014). Birds were grouped into assemblages of winter residents, winter visitors and summer residents. Associations between beta diversity partitioning, island area, isolation and habitat richness were tested using partial Mantel correlations. We complemented these tests with measures of nestedness and null model approaches. Results Contrary to expectation, beta diversity, nestedness and difference of beta diversity or its components from null models were higher for winter residents than either summer resident or winter visitor assemblages. As predicted, winter visitors showed little association with habitat richness, and beta diversity was rarely different from null communities. Summer residents had the highest correlations of beta diversity components with habitat richness, but showed the lowest level of total beta diversity, a low richness component and were anti‐nested (less nested than random). Main conclusions Substantial differences were found in the biogeography of winter‐versus‐summer residents, and seasonal visitor (migratory)‐versus‐resident bird assemblages, which match expectations derived from bird biology and population ecology. Summer residents highlighted the role of habitat‐related niche differences, whereas winter residents showed area‐related selective extinction. By contrast, winter visitors appeared to be more randomly distributed.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Downregulation of the Long Non-Coding RNA Meg3 Promotes Angiogenesis After Ischemic Brain Injury by Activating Notch Signaling - Juan Liu; Qing Li; Kun-shan Zhang; Bin Hu; Xin Niu; Shu-min Zhou; Si-guang Li; Yu-ping Luo; Yang Wang; Zhi-feng Deng (Molecular Neurobiology, 2017)
Angiogenesis after ischemic brain injury contributes to the restoration of blood supply in the ischemic zone. Strategies to improve angiogenesis may facilitate the function recovery after stroke. Recent researches have demonstrated that dysfunction of long non-coding RNAs are associated with angiogenesis. We have previously reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are aberrantly expressed in ischemic stroke. However, little is known about long non-coding RNAs and theirs role in angiogenesis after stroke. In this study, we identified a rat lncRNAs, Meg3, and found that Meg3 was significantly decreased after ischemic stroke. Overexpression of Meg3 suppressed functional recovery and decreased capillary density after ischemic stroke. Downregulation of Meg3 ameliorated brain lesion and increased angiogenesis after ischemic stroke. Silencing of Meg3 resulted in a proangiogenic effect evidenced by increased endothelial cell migration, proliferation, sprouting, and tube formation. Mechanistically, we showed that Meg3 negatively regulated notch pathway both in vivo and in vitro. Inhibition of notch signaling in endothelial cells reversed the proangiogenic effect induced by Meg3 downregulation. This study revealed the function of Meg3 in ischemic stroke and elucidated its mechanism in angiogenesis after ischemic stroke.

Strong impact of anthropogenic contamination on the co‐occurrence patterns of a riverine microbial community - Anyi Hu; Feng Ju; Liyuan Hou; Jiangwei Li; Xiaoyong Yang; Hongjie Wang; Sikandar I. Mulla; Qian Sun; Helmut Bürgmann; Chang‐Ping Yu (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Although the health of rivers is threatened by multiple anthropogenic stressors with increasing frequency, it remains an open question how riverine microbial communities respond to emerging micropollutants. Here, by using 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing of 60 water samples collected during different hydrological seasons, we investigated the spatio‐temporal variation and the co‐occurrence patterns of microbial communities in the anthropogenically impacted Jiulong River in China. The results indicated that the riverine microbial co‐occurrence network had a nonrandom, modular structure, which was mainly shaped by the taxonomic relatedness of co‐occurring species. Fecal indicator bacteria may survive for prolonged periods of time in river water, but they formed an independent module which had fewer interactions with typical freshwater bacteria. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that nutrients and micropollutants [i.e., pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs)] exerted combined effects in shaping α‐ and β‐diversity of riverine microbial communities. Remarkably, we showed that a hitherto unrecognized disruptive effect of PPCPs on the abundance variations of central species and module communities was stronger than the influence of physicochemical factors, suggesting the key role played by micropollutants for the microbial co‐occurrence relationships in lotic ecosystems. Overall, our findings provide novel insights into community assembly in aquatic environments experiencing anthropogenic stresses.
