Genetic diversity, piroplasms and trypanosomes in Rhipicephalus microplus and Hyalomma anatolicum collected from cattle in northern Pakistan - Jehan Zeb; Sándor Szekeres; Nóra Takács; Jenő Kontschán; Sumaira Shams; Sultan Ayaz; Sándor Hornok (Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2019)
The two most important tick species in Pakistan are Rhipicephalus microplus and Hyalomma anatolicum . When associated with cattle, these have one or three host life cycles, respectively, with potential implications for their population genetics and for their vector role in the transmission of pathogens. To compare the two tick species in this context with molecular-phylogenetic methods, during the present study 123 ticks were collected from cattle in northern Pakistan. Two mitochondrial markers of 36 ticks were molecularly analyzed. All 11 R. microplus specimens had identical cox1 haplotypes, whereas the 25 H. anatolicum specimens had nine cox1 haplotypes. The latter belonged to two distinct phylogenetic lineages with high support. However, in the 16S rRNA gene these differences were less evident. Among the 113 ticks molecularly analyzed for tick-borne protozoa, the sequence of Babesia occultans was successfully amplified from two specimens of H. anatolicum . Theileria annulata was present in both R. microplus (10.4%) and H. anatolicum (27.3%), with significantly higher prevalence rate in the latter species. Only one tick, a H. anatolicum female, was positive in the PCR detecting Trypanosoma spp. Sequencing revealed the presence of a new genotype, with the closest phylogenetic relationship to stercorarian trypanosomes (in particular, to a tick-associated Trypanosoma sp. from Japan). In conclusion, the above differences between R. microplus and H. anatolicum may be partly related to their life cycles involving one host or three hosts, respectively. Among the others, host switching (reducing chances of inbreeding) and shorter periods spent on-host (reducing gene flow between cattle herds) are supposed to be important drivers of cox1 gene diversification in case of H. anatolicum as a three host tick species. These results highlight the importance of studying differences in intraspecific genetic diversity and piroplasm burdens between one host and three host ticks in the local scale. In addition, a Trypanosoma sp. molecularly identified in H. anatolicum is reported here for the first time from South Asia, deserving further evaluation concerning its host and vector species.

Direct and indirect effects of CO 2 increase on crop yield in West Africa - Benjamin Sultan; Ben Parkes; Marco Gaetani (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Climate change directly threatens food security in West Africa through a negative impact on productivity of the main staple food crops. However, providing consistent future crop yield projections in the region remains challenging because of uncertainty in the response of the regional climate to the CO 2 increase and in the response of the cultivated crop to this altered climate with more CO 2 in the atmosphere. Here, we analyse a set of idealized climate simulations to investigate the effect of CO 2 concentration increase on the West African monsoon and potential impacts on crop yields of maize. On the one hand, simulations with prescribed SST and quadrupled CO 2 concentration are analysed to study the atmospheric response to direct radiative forcing induced by increasing CO 2 concentration, not mediated by ocean heat capacity. On the other hand, simulations with prescribed SST augmented by 4 K are analysed to study the atmospheric response to the global ocean warming expected as a consequence of the increasing CO 2 radiative forcing. We show that if CO 2 concentration increase has a positive impact on crop yield due to the fertilization effect, it also has a direct effect on the monsoon which acts to increase (decrease) rainfall in the eastern (western) part of the Sahel and increase (decrease) crop yields consequently. Finally, we show that SST warming acts to reduce rainfall and increase local temperatures leading to strong reduction of crop yield. The reduction of crop yield is more important in the eastern part of the Sahel where the warming is more intense than in the western part of the Sahel. Overall, positive effects are weaker and more uncertain than the negative effects in the analysed simulations.

Organochlorine Pesticide Residues and Microbiological Quality Assessment of Dried Barb, Puntius sophore, from the Northeastern Part of Bangladesh - Md. Ashraf Hussain; Md. Lutful Kabir; Md. Abu Sayeed; A.T.M. Mahbub-E-Elahi; Md. Sultan Ahmed; Md Jakiul Islam (Fishes, 2018)
The present study was carried out in the northeastern part of Bangladesh to investigate organochlorine pesticide (OCP) residues in and microbiological quality of dried barb (Puntius sophore). Samples were collected from both producers and retailers from December 2016 to April 2017. A control sample was also prepared in the laboratory with the same raw fish used by the producers to compare the results. Gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) was used to detect and quantify OCP residues. Six samples out of 27 (about 22%) were found to be contaminated with OCP residues. Among these six adulterated samples, four were from retailers and two from producers. Only aldrin was detected in four samples, and in the other two samples both aldrin + dieldrin and aldrin + endrin were detected. Aldrin was found in quantities between 0.332 and 0.967 ppm, dieldrin 0.762 ppm, and endrin 0.828 ppm. All these values were much higher than the maximum residual limit (MRL) of 0.1 ppm. Total plate count (TPC) of producer samples ranged from 5.3 ± 0.02 log cfu g−1 to 5.4 ± 0.03 log cfu g−1 and 6.2 ± 0.02 log cfu g−1 to 6.4 ± 0.02 log cfu g−1 for retailer samples and 5.0 ± 0.03 log cfu g−1 to 5.2 ± 0.04 log cfu g−1 for control samples. Fungal count ranged from 3.2 ± 0.04 log cfu g−1 to 3.5 ± 0.04 log cfu g−1, 3.4 ± 0.04 log cfu g−1 to 3.6 ± 0.03 log cfu g−1, and 2.2 ± 0.05 log cfu g−1 to 2.5 ± 0.03 log cfu g−1 for producer, retailer, and control samples, respectively. All the producer and retailer samples and one-third of the control samples were found to be contaminated with Escherichia coli, whereas Salmonella spp. were detected in amounts of 13.3% in producer samples and 20% in retailer samples and none in the control. In case of Vibrio spp., maximum count was found in retailer samples (13.3%), whereas producer and control samples showed none. The findings of the present study show that the presence of pesticides and poor microbiological quality of dried barb are alarming for consumers in Bangladesh and might cause prolonged disease and impending longstanding risk to human health.

Host range, host specificity, regional host preferences and genetic variability of Korthalsella Tiegh. (Viscaceae) mistletoes in New Zealand - Amir Sultan; Jennifer A. Tate; Peter J. de Lange; David Glenny; Jenny J. Ladley; Peter Heenan; Alastair W. Robertson (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2018)
The distribution of parasitic plants is governed by the availability and distribution of suitable host species. Here we report the distributions, host associations and genetic variability of the three endemic New Zealand species of Korthalsella (Viscaceae) mistletoes. These species differ in their primary host and in the breadth of secondary and tertiary hosts. Korthalsella salicornioides is the most host‐specific, with 96% of the total records from the primary ( Leptospermum scoparium s.l. [Myrtaceae]) and secondary ( Kunzea robusta [Myrtaceae]) hosts, but 26 host taxa (six genera in five families) recorded overall. Korthalsella clavata and K. lindsayi are more generalist species, parasitising 44 taxa (19 genera in 14 families) and 42 taxa (13 genera in 11 families), respectively. For K. clavata , Coprosma propinqua (Rubiaceae) and C. dumosa are the primary and secondary hosts, respectively, representing 66% of the total records. For K. lindsayi, Melicope simplex (Rutaceae) is the primary host (26% of records), whereas Coprosma crassifolia , Lophomyrtus obcordata (Myrtaceae), Myrsine australis (Primulaceae) and M. divaricata are secondary hosts. The only overlap among hosts is at the tertiary level, with K. clavata and K. lindsayi sharing Coprosma rigida and C. virescens , and among hosts that are rarely parasitised. Korthalsella salicornioides is the most widely distributed species occurring widely on the North and South Islands, while K. clavata is rare in the North Island and K. lindsayi is rare in the western regions of the South Island. Comparative sequencing of nuclear internal transcribed spacers and plastid trnQ–rps16 for the three mistletoes revealed that within‐species genetic structure is geographic rather than host‐based. Additionally, some plastid haplotypes and ITS sequence types shared between K. clavata and K. lindsayi may result from local hybridisation and introgression between the two species in a few locations.

Impact of ET 0 method on the simulation of historical and future crop yields: a case study of millet growth in Senegal - Johanna Ramarohetra; Benjamin Sultan (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
The reference evapotranspiration (ET 0 ) is an integrated climatic variable from which many crop models derive simulated crop yields. In most of these models, different equations are parameterized leaving the choice of the equation to the user. However, the impact of the choice of the ET 0 equations on crop yield prediction has been little studied. The present study proposes a sensitivity analysis of the impact of the choice of the ET 0 equation on simulated millet yields using SARRA‐H crop model over 12 Senegalese stations representative of the Sudano‐Sahelian climate conditions of West Africa. Priestley‐Taylor, a modified Priestley‐Taylor and Hargreaves equations lead to simulated yields up to 19% than those calculated using the Penman‐Monteith equation. Despite high biases in wind speed, among the tested methods, the Penman‐Monteith method remains the most robust to derive ET 0 and yield over the major part of Senegal, Hargreaves equation being more appropriated under dry climates. The choice of ET 0 formulation introduces uncertainties representing 8% of baseline yield regardless of precipitation changes; for wet conditions these uncertainties approach 30% of the overall climate change impact. The choice of ET 0 equation is increasingly important, with local temperature changes out to 4 °C, while extreme changes above 6 °C depend less on the ET 0 equation.

Evaluating the utility of the Gulf Stream Index for predicting recruitment of Southern New England‐Mid Atlantic yellowtail flounder - Haikun Xu; Timothy J. Miller; Sultan Hameed; Larry A. Alade; Janet A. Nye (Fisheries Oceanography, 2018)
The justification for incorporating environmental effects into fisheries stock assessment models has been investigated and debated for a long time. Recently, a state‐space age‐structured assessment model which includes the stochastic change in the environmental covariate over time and its effect on recruitment was developed for Southern New England‐Mid Atlantic yellowtail flounder ( Limanda ferruginea ). In this paper, we first investigated the correlations of environmental covariates with Southern New England‐Mid Atlantic yellowtail flounder recruitment deviations. The covariate that was most strongly correlated with the recruitment deviations was then incorporated into the state‐space model and alternative effects on the stock‐recruit relationship were estimated and compared. For the model that performed best as measured by Akaike information criterion, we also compared the estimates and predictions of various population attributes and biological reference points with those from an otherwise identical model without the environmental covariate in the stock‐recruit function. We found that the estimates of population parameters are similar for the two models but the predictions differed substantially. To evaluate which model provided more reliable predictions, we quantitatively compared the prediction skill of the two models by generating two series of retrospective predictions. Comparison of the retrospective prediction pattern suggested that from an average point of view, the environmentally explicit model can provide more accurate near‐term recruitment predictions especially the one year ahead recruitment prediction. However, the accuracy of the near‐term recruitment prediction from the environmentally explicit model was largely determined by the accuracy of the corresponding environment prediction the model provides.

A 60‐year reconstructed high‐resolution local meteorological data set in Central Sahel (1950–2009): evaluation, analysis and application to land surface modelling - C. Leauthaud; B. Cappelaere; J.

The Sahel has experienced strong climate variability in the past decades. Understanding its implications for natural and cultivated ecosystems is pivotal in a context of high population growth and mainly agriculture‐based livelihoods. However, efforts to model processes at the land–atmosphere interface are hindered, particularly when the multi‐decadal timescale is targeted, as climatic data are scarce, largely incomplete and often unreliable. This study presents the generation of a long‐term, high‐temporal resolution, multivariate local climatic data set for Niamey, Central Sahel. The continuous series spans the period 1950–2009 at a 30‐min timescale and includes ground station‐based meteorological variables (precipitation, air temperature, relative and specific humidity, air pressure, wind speed, downwelling long‐ and short‐wave radiation) as well as process‐modelled surface fluxes (upwelling long‐ and short‐wave radiation, latent, sensible and soil heat fluxes and surface temperature). A combination of complementary techniques (linear/spline regressions, a multivariate analogue method, artificial neural networks and recursive gap filling) was used to reconstruct missing meteorological data. The complete surface energy budget was then obtained for two dominant land cover types, fallow bush and millet, by applying the meteorological forcing data set to a finely field‐calibrated land surface model. Uncertainty in reconstructed data was expressed by means of a stochastic ensemble of plausible historical time series. Climatological statistics were computed at sub‐daily to decadal timescales and compared with local, regional and global data sets such as CRU and ERA ‐Interim. The reconstructed precipitation statistics, ∼1 °C increase in mean annual temperature from 1950 to 2009, and mean diurnal and annual cycles for all variables were in good agreement with previous studies. The new data set, denoted NAD (Niamey Airport‐derived set) and publicly available, can be used to investigate the water and energy cycles in Central Sahel, while the methodology can be applied to reconstruct series at other stations.

Effect of climate change, CO 2 trends, nitrogen addition, and land‐cover and management intensity changes on the carbon balance of European grasslands - Jinfeng Chang; Philippe Ciais; Nicolas Viovy; Nicolas Vuichard; Mario Herrero; Petr Havlík; Xuhui Wang; Benjamin Sultan; Jean‐François Soussana (Global Change Biology, 2016)
Several lines of evidence point to European managed grassland ecosystems being a sink of carbon. In this study, we apply ORCHIDEE ‐ GM a process‐based carbon cycle model that describes specific management practices of pastures and the dynamics of carbon cycling in response to changes in climatic and biogeochemical drivers. The model is used to simulate changes in the carbon balance [i.e., net biome production ( NBP )] of European grasslands over 1991–2010 on a 25 km × 25 km grid. The modeled average trend in NBP is 1.8–2.0 g C m −2 yr −2 during the past two decades. Attribution of this trend suggests management intensity as the dominant driver explaining NBP trends in the model (36–43% of the trend due to all drivers). A major change in grassland management intensity has occurred across Europe resulting from reduced livestock numbers. This change has ‘inadvertently’ enhanced soil C sequestration and reduced N 2 O and CH 4 emissions by 1.2–1.5 Gt CO 2 ‐equivalent, offsetting more than 7% of greenhouse gas emissions in the whole European agricultural sector during the period 1991–2010. Land‐cover change, climate change and rising CO 2 also make positive and moderate contributions to the NBP trend (between 24% and 31% of the trend due to all drivers). Changes in nitrogen addition (including fertilization and atmospheric deposition) are found to have only marginal net effect on NBP trends. However, this may not reflect reality because our model has only a very simple parameterization of nitrogen effects on photosynthesis. The sum of NBP trends from each driver is larger than the trend obtained when all drivers are varied together, leaving a residual – nonattributed – term (22–26% of the trend due to all drivers) indicating negative interactions between drivers.

The greenhouse gas balance of European grasslands - Jinfeng Chang; Philippe Ciais; Nicolas Viovy; Nicolas Vuichard; Benjamin Sultan; Jean‐François Soussana (Global Change Biology, 2015)
The greenhouse gas ( GHG ) balance of European grasslands ( EU ‐28 plus Norway and Switzerland), including CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O, is estimated using the new process‐based biogeochemical model ORCHIDEE ‐ GM over the period 1961–2010. The model includes the following: (1) a mechanistic representation of the spatial distribution of management practice; (2) management intensity, going from intensively to extensively managed; (3) gridded simulation of the carbon balance at ecosystem and farm scale; and (4) gridded simulation of N 2 O and CH 4 emissions by fertilized grassland soils and livestock. The external drivers of the model are changing animal numbers, nitrogen fertilization and deposition, land‐use change, and variable CO 2 and climate. The carbon balance of European grassland ( NBP ) is estimated to be a net sink of 15 ± 7 g C m −2 year −1 during 1961–2010, equivalent to a 50‐year continental cumulative soil carbon sequestration of 1.0 ± 0.4 Pg C. At the farm scale, which includes both ecosystem CO 2 fluxes and CO 2 emissions from the digestion of harvested forage, the net C balance is roughly halved, down to a small sink, or nearly neutral flux of 8 g C m −2 year −1 . Adding CH 4 and N 2 O emissions to net ecosystem exchange to define the ecosystem‐scale GHG balance, we found that grasslands remain a net GHG sink of 19 ± 10 g C‐ CO 2 equiv. m −2 year −1 , because the CO 2 sink offsets N 2 O and grazing animal CH 4 emissions. However, when considering the farm scale, the GHG balance ( NGB ) becomes a net GHG source of −50 g C‐ CO 2 equiv. m −2 year −1 . ORCHIDEE ‐ GM simulated an increase in European grassland NBP during the last five decades. This enhanced NBP reflects the combination of a positive trend of net primary production due to CO 2 , climate and nitrogen fertilization and the diminishing requirement for grass forage due to the Europe‐wide reduction in livestock numbers.

High‐performance genotypes in an introduced plant: insights to future invasiveness - Silvia Matesanz; Sonia E. Sultan (Ecology, 2013)
Maintaining high reproductive output in diverse conditions has consistently been found to promote invasiveness in introduced taxa. Following on this key observation, studies have compared the performance across environments of invasive vs. native congeners, and of introduced vs. native populations within invasive species. Performance differences among genotypes within introduced species have received far less attention, although such genetic variation could be critical to invasive potential. If an introduced species contains genotypes that can maintain high fitness across contrasting environments, such broadly adaptive, high‐performance genotypes could promote and shape the species' immediate spread across multiple habitats. Furthermore, their presence could lead to the evolution of greater aggressiveness in the species, as these high performers increase in frequency. We investigated the existence and distribution of high‐performance genotypes in Polygonum cespitosum , a newly invasive Asian annual. We raised 416 genotypes, collected from 14 North American populations, under resource‐rich conditions to identify potential high‐performance genotypes (the top 5% in total reproductive output). We then compared their fitness, life history, and functional traits to a random group of the remaining genotypes in three contrasting environments to ask the following: (1) Do consistently high‐performance genotypes (i.e., genotypes with high relative fitness in diverse conditions) exist within introduced‐range populations? (2) If so, do these high‐performance genotypes possess distinctive life history and/or functional traits? (3) Do these genotypes occur in all populations or in only a subset of populations? Genotypes initially identified as high‐performance in favorable conditions also had higher reproductive output in resource‐limited environments. Their fitness advantage compared with control genotypes varied in magnitude from one environment to another but was significant within all three test environments. High‐performance genotypes shared a developmental syndrome characterized by rapid and high germination, fast seedling growth, early reproductive onset, and high reproductive allocation, but they did not differ in other functional traits. P. cespitosum includes a subset of genotypes with accelerated development and significantly greater fitness in both favorable and stressful conditions. The nonrandom distribution of these high‐performance genotypes among populations in the species' introduced range highlights the importance of genotypic and population‐level variation for invasion dynamics.

An ex‐ante evaluation of the use of seasonal climate forecasts for millet growers in SW Niger - P. Roudier; B. Sultan; P. Quirion; C. Baron; A. Alhassane; S. B. Traoré; B. Muller (International Journal of Climatology, 2012)
This work assesses the value of climate forecasts for millet growers in Niger. We quantify the potential value of three kinds of categorical forecasts assigning cumulated rainfall during the forthcoming rainy season by tercile (dry, normal, or humid): (i) a realistic imperfect tercile forecast; (ii) a perfect tercile forecast; and (iii) a perfect tercile forecast which includes a prediction of rainy season onset and offset dates. Eighteen management strategies are assessed. Corresponding yields are computed using the SARRA‐H crop model then converted into utility by taking into account risk‐aversion. Simulations over an historical 18‐year period 1990‐2007 show that benefit is lowest with imperfect tercile forecasts (+6.9%), higher (+11%) with perfect tercile forecasts, and reaches + 31% when enhanced adaptation strategies and additional climatic indices are available. These results show that improving existing forecast systems by including the prediction of onset and cessation of rainfall is of great value. Copyright © 2011 Royal Meteorological Society
