The Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus: a detailed review of structure, infectivity, host immunity, diagnosis and prevention - Ken Fong Chen; Wen Siang Tan; Lin Kooi Ong; Syafiq Asnawi Zainal Abidin; Iekhsan Othman; Beng Ti Tey; Ronald Fook Seng Lee (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2021)
The Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus causes white tail disease, which primarily infects giant freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii . The infection leads to almost 100% mortality in post‐larvae, causing significant economic losses in aquaculture farms. To develop effective measures against outbreaks, a good understanding of the virus is essential. In this review, we discuss key aspects of the Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus including its structure, mechanisms of transmission and infection and common strategies for detection and prevention of outbreaks. Structurally, cryogenic electron microscopy revealed that the nodavirus has a T = 3 icosahedral structure with dimeric blade‐like spikes on its surface. Homology modelling comparing wild‐type and enzymatically cleaved Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus‐like particles revealed the significance of these spikes or protruding domains for binding. In vitro and in vivo studies have identified key aspects of Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus infectivity, including (i) the viral binding targets such as transglutaminase and caveolin‐1, (ii) utilisation of B2‐like proteins in promoting infectivity and intracellular migration, (iii) replication mechanisms and (iv) co‐infection with the extra small virus. Though susceptible at a post‐larvae stage, adult Macrobrachium rosenbergii is immune to Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus infection. During outbreaks, polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridisation‐based detection techniques are commonly used to identify infected populations. Currently, the most useful strategies for an outbreak are physical biosecurity measures and prophylaxis such as vaccination and immunostimulants. Finally, critical gaps in research include development of immortalised shrimp cell models, elucidation of time‐resolved protein changes post‐infection and development of therapies to treat infections to mitigate economic losses during outbreaks.

Hidden in plain sight: a molecular field survey of three wheat leaf blotch fungal diseases in North-Western Europe shows co-infection is widespread - Annemarie Fejer Justesen; Beatrice Corsi; Andrea Ficke; Lorenz Hartl; Sarah Holdgate; Lise Nistrup Jørgensen; Morten Lillemo; Min Lin; Ian J. Mackay; Volker Mohler; Melanie Stadlmeier; Kar-Chun Tan; et al. (European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2021)
Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) yields are commonly affected by foliar infection by fungal pathogens. Of these, three wheat leaf blotch fungal diseases, septoria nodorum blotch (SNB), tan spot (TS) and septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by Parastagonospora nodorum ( Pn ), Pyrenophora tritici-repentis ( Ptr ) and Zymoseptoria tritici ( Zt ), respectively, induce major yield losses. Infection results in necrotic areas on the leaf, and it is often difficult to determine the underlying causative pathogen from visible symptoms alone, especially in mixed infections. Here, a regional survey of 330 wheat samples collected across three seasons (years 2015–2017) from four north-west European countries was undertaken. Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays specific for each pathogen, as well as disease assessment of leaf materials, distinct regional differences were identified. Two-thirds (65%) of all samples harbored at least two of the three pathogens. Norway had high SNB abundance, but also showed mixed infections of SNB, TS and STB. In Germany, TS was prevalent, with STB also common. Danish samples commonly possessed all three pathogens, with STB prevalent, followed by TS and SNB. The UK had a major prevalence of STB with minimal occurrence of TS and SNB. Across all samples, qPCR identified Zt , Pn and Ptr in 90%, 54% and 57% of samples, respectively. For each pathogen, average disease levels via visual assessment showed modest positive correlation with fungal DNA concentrations (R 2 = 0.13–0.32). Overall, our study highlights that the occurrence of mixed infection is common and widespread, with important implications for wheat disease management and breeding strategies.

Distribution, Temporal Change, and Conservation Status of Tropical Seagrass Beds in Southeast Asia: 2000–2020 - Kenji Sudo; T. E. Angela L. Quiros; Anchana Prathep; Cao Van Luong; Hsing-Juh Lin; Japar Sidik Bujang; Jillian Lean Sim Ooi; Miguel D. Fortes; Muta Harah Zakaria; Siti Maryam Yaakub; Yi Mei Tan; Xiaoping Huang; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Although Southeast Asia is a hotspot of global seagrass diversity, there are considerable information gaps in the distribution of seagrass beds. Broad-scale seagrass distribution has not been updated in the global seagrass database by UNEP-WCMC since 2000, although studies on seagrasses have been undertaken intensively in each region. Here we analyze the recent distribution of tropical seagrass beds, their temporal changes, causes of decline and conservation status in Southeast Asia (plus southern mainland China, Taiwan and Ryukyu Island of Japan) using data collected after 2000. Based on the 195 literature published since 2000, we identified 1,259 point data and 1,461 polygon data showing the distribution of seagrass beds. A large discrepancy was found in the seagrass bed distribution between our updated data and the UNEP-WCMC database, mostly due to inaccurate and low resolution location information in the latter. Temporal changes in seagrass bed area analyzed for 68 sites in nine countries/regions demonstrated that more than 60% of seagrass beds declined at an average rate of 10.9% year –1 , whereas 20% of beds increased at an average rate of 8.1% year –1 , leading to an overall average decline of 4.7% year –1 . Various types of human-induced threats were reported as causes for the decline, including coastal development, fisheries/aquaculture, and natural factors such as typhoons and tsunamis. The percentage of seagrass beds covered with existing marine protected areas (MPAs) varied greatly among countries/regions, from less than 1% in Brunei Darussalam and Singapore to 100% in southern Japan. However, the degree of conservation regulation was not sufficient even in regions with higher MPA coverage. The percentage of seagrass beds within EBSAs (Ecologically and Biologically Significant Area determined by the Convention of Biological Diversity) was higher than that within MPAs because EBSAs cover a greater area than MPAs. Therefore, designating EBSAs as legally effective MPAs can greatly improve the conservation status of seagrass beds in Southeast Asia.

Individual Microcystis colonies harbour distinct bacterial communities that differ by Microcystis oligotype and with time - Derek J. Smith; James Y. Tan; McKenzie A. Powers; Xiaoxia N. Lin; Timothy W. Davis; Gregory J. Dick (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Interactions between bacteria and phytoplankton in the phycosphere have impacts at the scale of whole ecosystems, including the development of harmful algal blooms. The cyanobacterium Microcystis causes toxic blooms that threaten freshwater ecosystems and human health globally. Microcystis grows in colonies that harbour dense assemblages of other bacteria, yet the taxonomic composition of these phycosphere communities and the nature of their interactions with Microcystis are not well characterized. To identify the taxa and compositional variance within Microcystis phycosphere communities, we performed 16S rRNA V4 region amplicon sequencing on individual Microcystis colonies collected biweekly via high‐throughput droplet encapsulation during a western Lake Erie cyanobacterial bloom. The Microcystis phycosphere communities were distinct from microbial communities in whole water and bulk phytoplankton seston in western Lake Erie but lacked ‘core’ taxa found across all colonies. However, dissimilarity in phycosphere community composition correlated with sampling date and the Microcystis 16S rRNA oligotype. Several taxa in the phycosphere were specific to and conserved with Microcystis of a single oligotype or sampling date. Together, this suggests that physiological differences between Microcystis strains, temporal changes in strain phenotypes, and the composition of seeding communities may impact community composition of the Microcystis phycosphere.

Impacts of land use change on thermodynamic and dynamic changes of precipitation for the Yangtze River Basin, China - Qian Lin; Jie Chen; Wei Li; Kailin Huang; Xuezhi Tan; Hua Chen (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Many studies found that land use change (LUC) had great impacts on regional precipitation, due to thermodynamic and dynamic responses. However, the relative contributions of these two factors to changes in precipitation due to LUC are rarely investigated. This study quantifies the relative contributions of thermodynamic and dynamic to the changes of mean and extreme precipitation due to LUC based on simulations of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The Yangtze River Basin (YRB) is used as a case study, as it has experienced great LUC during the past decades. Four land use scenarios (two factual cases and two hypothetical reforestation scenarios) were used to test the sensitivity of precipitation changes to LUC. Changes in mean and extreme precipitation over the YRB for all seasons are attributed to thermodynamic and dynamic changes using 500‐hPa geopotential height and precipitation data derived from the simulations of WRF. The results show that the factual process of LUC results in a decrease in summer mean daily precipitation and precipitation extremes in most areas of the YRB (except for the middle reaches of the YRB), while the hypothetical reforestation contributes to an increase in summer mean and extreme precipitation, and the impacts of reforestation on increasing precipitation are limited. The thermodynamic change contributes to an increase in seasonal mean daily precipitation, extreme precipitation totals and occurrence frequency of precipitation extremes with contributions ranging from 94 to 102%, which is the main contributor of changes in precipitation due to LUC. The dynamic change only makes a small contribution to the change of precipitation. Because the contributions of thermodynamic can be offset by dynamic changes to changes in precipitation, it could result in minimal changes in precipitation and occurrences of precipitation extremes.

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.

Identification and cross-validation of genetic loci conferring resistance to Septoria nodorum blotch using a German multi-founder winter wheat population - Min Lin; Melanie Stadlmeier; Volker Mohler; Kar-Chun Tan; Andrea Ficke; James Cockram; Morten Lillemo (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021)
Key message We identified allelic variation at two major loci, QSnb.nmbu-2A.1 and QSnb.nmbu-5A.1 , showing consistent and additive effects on SNB field resistance. Validation of QSnb.nmbu-2A.1 across genetic backgrounds further highlights its usefulness for marker-assisted selection. Abstract Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) is a disease of wheat ( Triticum aestivum and T. durum ) caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum . SNB resistance is a typical quantitative trait, controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) of minor effect. To achieve increased plant resistance, selection for resistance alleles and/or selection against susceptibility alleles must be undertaken. Here, we performed genetic analysis of SNB resistance using an eight-founder German Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) population, termed BMWpop. Field trials and greenhouse testing were conducted over three seasons in Norway, with genetic analysis identifying ten SNB resistance QTL. Of these, two QTL were identified over two seasons: QSnb.nmbu-2A.1 on chromosome 2A and QSnb.nmbu-5A.1 on chromosome 5A. The chromosome 2A BMWpop QTL co-located with a robust SNB resistance QTL recently identified in an independent eight-founder MAGIC population constructed using varieties released in the United Kingdom (UK). The validation of this SNB resistance QTL in two independent multi-founder mapping populations, regardless of the differences in genetic background and agricultural environment, highlights the value of this locus in SNB resistance breeding. The second robust QTL identified in the BMWpop, QSnb.nmbu-5A.1, was not identified in the UK MAGIC population. Combining resistance alleles at both loci resulted in additive effects on SNB resistance. Therefore, using marker assisted selection to combine resistance alleles is a promising strategy for improving SNB resistance in wheat breeding. Indeed, the multi-locus haplotypes determined in this study provide markers for efficient tracking of these beneficial alleles in future wheat genetics and breeding activities.

Novel Contributions to the Taxonomy of the Ciliates Genus Euplotes (Ciliophora, Euplotida): Redescription of Two Poorly Known Species, With a Brief Note on the Distributions of This Genus in Coastal Waters of Southern China - Weiwei Liu; Jiamei Jiang; Yehui Tan; Xiaofeng Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020)
As the typical periphytic ciliate, the genus Euplotes Ehrenberg, 1830 is highly diversified and commonly observed in marine water. In this study, the living morphology, infraciliature and silverline system of two poorly known Euplotes species, E. neapolitanus Wichterman, 1964 and E. antarcticus Fenchel and Lee, 1972 , isolated from coastal water of southern China, were investigated. The original description of these two species were brief, and thus we provided detailed redescription based on our Chinese population. Their diagnoses were improved by adding some morphology characteristics and their detailed illustrations and photomicrographs were first supplied here. Based on the sufficient justification for identification of our population by morphology, their small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences which have been reported were linked to the accurate species name. Phylogenetic analyses showed that these two species cluster with their congeners which shared high morphological similarities with them. In addition, the geographic distribution of the genus Euplotes in coast of southern China was revealed, and the mangrove was considered as the ideal habitat for them by possessing the higher species richness.

Genetic mapping using a wheat multi-founder population reveals a locus on chromosome 2A controlling resistance to both leaf and glume blotch caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum - Min Lin; Beatrice Corsi; Andrea Ficke; Kar-Chun Tan; James Cockram; Morten Lillemo (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2020)
Key message A locus on wheat chromosome 2A was found to control field resistance to both leaf and glume blotch caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum . Abstract The necrotrophic fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum is the causal agent of Septoria nodorum leaf blotch and glume blotch, which are common wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) diseases in humid and temperate areas. Susceptibility to Septoria nodorum leaf blotch can partly be explained by sensitivity to corresponding P. nodorum necrotrophic effectors (NEs). Susceptibility to glume blotch is also quantitative; however, the underlying genetics have not been studied in detail. Here, we genetically map resistance/susceptibility loci to leaf and glume blotch using an eight-founder wheat multiparent advanced generation intercross population. The population was assessed in six field trials across two sites and 4 years. Seedling infiltration and inoculation assays using three P. nodorum isolates were also carried out, in order to compare quantitative trait loci (QTL) identified under controlled conditions with those identified in the field. Three significant field resistance QTL were identified on chromosomes 2A and 6A, while four significant seedling resistance QTL were detected on chromosomes 2D, 5B and 7D. Among these, QSnb.niab - 2A.3 for field resistance to both leaf blotch and glume blotch was detected in Norway and the UK. Colocation with a QTL for seedling reactions against culture filtrate from a Norwegian P. nodorum isolate indicated the QTL could be caused by a novel NE sensitivity. The consistency of this QTL for leaf blotch at the seedling and adult plant stages and culture filtrate infiltration was confirmed by haplotype analysis. However, opposite effects for the leaf blotch and glume blotch reactions suggest that different genetic mechanisms may be involved.

Temporal population variability in local forest communities has mixed effects on tree species richness across a latitudinal gradient - Tak Fung; Ryan A. Chisholm; Kristina Anderson‐Teixeira; Norm Bourg; Warren Y. Brockelman; Sarayudh Bunyavejchewin; Chia‐Hao Chang‐Yang; Rutuja Chitra‐Tarak; George Chuyong; Richard Condit; Handanakere S. Dattaraja; Stuart J. Davies; et al. (Ecology Letters, 2020)
Among the local processes that determine species diversity in ecological communities, fluctuation‐dependent mechanisms that are mediated by temporal variability in the abundances of species populations have received significant attention. Higher temporal variability in the abundances of species populations can increase the strength of temporal niche partitioning but can also increase the risk of species extinctions, such that the net effect on species coexistence is not clear. We quantified this temporal population variability for tree species in 21 large forest plots and found much greater variability for higher latitude plots with fewer tree species. A fitted mechanistic model showed that among the forest plots, the net effect of temporal population variability on tree species coexistence was usually negative, but sometimes positive or negligible. Therefore, our results suggest that temporal variability in the abundances of species populations has no clear negative or positive contribution to the latitudinal gradient in tree species richness.

Waste water resulting from this process has limited the application of chitosan as a fertilizer as the process causes serious environmental pollution. Specifically, the resulting waste water contains high levels of dissolved nitrogen and minerals from shrimp shells. In this study, an eco-friendly method was established to produce chitooligosaccharides (COS) with different degrees of deacetylation (DDAs) from shrimp shell waste. At a solid-to-solvent ratio of 1:6, the degree of demineralization was above 90% with the treatment of 30 g·L −1 H 3 PO 4 , and the degree of deproteinization was above 80% when treated with 30 g·L −1 KOH at 70 °C. Chitosans with different DDAs were obtained by microwave-assisted KOH metathesis and the COS with Mw approximately 1500 Da were then prepared by oxidative degradation. In summary, 33.73 kg H 3 PO 4 , 12.77 kg, and 241.31 kg KOH were supplied during the processes of demineralization, deproteinization, and deacetylation of 100 kg shrimp shell waste, respectively. The process water was totally recycled, demonstrating that the shrimp shell could be wholly transformed into fertilizer. The entire process created a product with the fractions of N:P 2 O 5 :K 2 O:COS = 7.94:24.44:10.72:18.27. The test on the germination promotion of wheat seeds revealed that the COS with 72.12% DDA significantly promoted germination. This work demonstrated the use of an eco-friendly preparation method of COS with a specific degree of deacetylation that can be applied as a fertilizer.

Plants alter their vertical root distribution rather than biomass allocation in response to changing precipitation - Bingwei Zhang; Marc W. Cadotte; Shiping Chen; Xingru Tan; Cuihai You; Tingting Ren; Minling Chen; Shanshan Wang; Weijing Li; Chengjin Chu; Lin Jiang; Yongfei Bai; et al. (Ecology, 2019)
Elucidating the variation of allocation pattern of ecosystem net primary productivity ( NPP ) and its underlying mechanisms is critically important for understanding the changes of aboveground and belowground ecosystem functions. Under optimal partitioning theory, plants should allocate more NPP to the organ that acquires the most limiting resource, and this expectation has been widely used to explain and predict NPP allocation under changing precipitation. However, confirmatory evidence for this theory has mostly come from observed spatial variation in the relationship between precipitation and NPP allocation across ecosystems, rather than directly from the influences of changing precipitation on NPP allocation within systems. We performed a 6‐yr five‐level precipitation manipulation experiment in a semiarid steppe to test whether changes in NPP allocation can be explained by the optimal partitioning theory, and how water requirement of plant community is maintained if NPP allocation is unaltered. The 30 precipitation levels (5 levels × 6 yr) were divided into dry, nominal, and wet precipitation ranges, relative to historical precipitation variation over the past six decades. We found that NPP in both aboveground ( ANPP ) and belowground ( BNPP ) increased nonlinearly as precipitation increased, while the allocation of NPP to BNPP ( f BNPP ) showed a concave quadratic relationship with precipitation. The declined f BNPP as precipitation increased in the dry range supported the optimal partitioning theory. However, in the nominal range, NPP allocation was not influenced by the changed precipitation; instead, BNPP was distributed more in the surface soil horizon (0–10 cm) as precipitation increased, and conversely more in the deeper soil layers (10–30 cm) as precipitation decreased. This response in root foraging appears to be a strategy to satisfy plant water requirements and partially explains the stable NPP allocation patterns. Overall, our results suggest that plants can adjust their vertical BNPP distribution in response to drought stress, and that only under extreme drought does the optimal partitioning theory strictly apply, highlighting the context dependency of the adaption and growth of plants under changing precipitation.

Forest community assembly is driven by different strata‐dependent mechanisms along an elevational gradient - Ya‐Huang Luo; Marc W. Cadotte; Kevin S. Burgess; Jie Liu; Shao‐Lin Tan; Kun Xu; De‐Zhu Li; Lian‐Ming Gao (Journal of Biogeography, 2019)
Aim The mechanisms driving forest community assembly along elevational gradients remain elusive. The distinct strata in heterogeneous forest are subject to differing assembly mechanisms. This study aims to evaluate how different ecological mechanisms driving forest community assembly across strata and spatial scales, and to identify how these assemblages respond to different abiotic or biotic variables along an elevational gradient. Location Yulong Mountain within Hengduan Mountains, Southwest China. Taxon Seed plants. Methods We sampled plant species along a 1,200 m elevational gradient across forest strata (trees, shrubs and herbs) at different spatial scales (neighbourhood and community). We integrated phylogenetic and functional diversity to disentangle the roles of ecological mechanisms in structuring community assembly. We also determined the relative effects of climatic, soil and biotic variables and their interactions on these community assemblages. Results The phylogenetic and functional diversity of trees were lower at the extremes of the elevational gradient, where they were constrained by water availability or temperature. While communities with higher species diversity exhibited an overdispersed structure at mid‐elevations. For shrubs, overdispersion was exhibited at high elevations despite low species richness, which could be consistent with facilitative interactions or competition exclusion. However, most communities of herbs appear to have a markedly random structure, despite some incongruence between phylogenetic divergence and functional convergence, as well as influences from overstorey trees and local light conditions. The relative effects of abiotic variables on community structure were larger at the community scale than at the neighbourhood scale. Main conclusions Our study emphasises the importance of considering phylogenies and traits in understanding the strata‐ and scale‐dependent mechanisms of forest community assembly. Collectively, results indicate that contrasting assembly mechanisms interact across different strata along elevational gradients to shape diverse forest communities.

Multi‐omic analyses of exogenous nutrient bag decomposition by the black morel Morchella importuna reveal sustained carbon acquisition and transferring - Hao Tan; Annegret Kohler; Renyun Miao; Tianhai Liu; Qiang Zhang; Bo Zhang; Lin Jiang; Yong Wang; Liyuan Xie; Jie Tang; Xiaolin Li; Lixu Liu; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The black morel ( Morchella importuna Kuo, O'Donnell and Volk) was once an uncultivable wild mushroom, until the development of exogenous nutrient bag (ENB), making its agricultural production quite feasible and stable. To date, how the nutritional acquisition of the morel mycelium is fulfilled to trigger its fruiting remains unknown. To investigate the mechanisms involved in ENB decomposition, the genome of a cultivable morel strain ( M . importuna SCYDJ1‐A1) was sequenced and the genes coding for the decay apparatus were identified. Expression of the encoded carbohydrate‐active enzymes (CAZymes) was then analyzed by metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics in combination with biochemical assays. The results show that a diverse set of hydrolytic and redox CAZymes secreted by the morel mycelium is the main force driving the substrate decomposition. Plant polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose present in ENB substrate (wheat grains plus rice husks) were rapidly degraded, whereas triglycerides were accumulated initially and consumed later. ENB decomposition led to a rapid increase in the organic carbon content in the surface soil of the mushroom bed, which was thereafter consumed during morel fruiting. In contrast to the high carbon consumption, no significant acquisition of nitrogen was observed. Our findings contribute to an increasingly detailed portrait of molecular features triggering morel fruiting.

Greater than the sum of the parts: how the species composition in different forest strata influence ecosystem function - Ya‐Huang Luo; Marc W. Cadotte; Kevin S. Burgess; Jie Liu; Shao‐Lin Tan; Jia‐Yun Zou; Kun Xu; De‐Zhu Li; Lian‐Ming Gao (Ecology Letters, 2019)
The mechanisms underpinning forest biodiversity‐ecosystem function relationships remain unresolved. Yet, in heterogeneous forests, ecosystem function of different strata could be associated with traits or evolutionary relationships differently. Here, we integrate phylogenies and traits to evaluate the effects of elevational diversity on above‐ground biomass across forest strata and spatial scales. Community‐weighted means of height and leaf phosphorous concentration and functional diversity in specific leaf area exhibited positive correlations with tree biomass, suggesting that both positive selection effects and complementarity occur. However, high shrub biomass is associated with greater dissimilarity in seed mass and multidimensional trait space, while species richness or phylogenetic diversity is the most important predictor for herbaceous biomass, indicating that species complementarity is especially important for understory function. The strength of diversity‐biomass relationships increases at larger spatial scales. We conclude that strata‐ and scale‐ dependent assessments of community structure and function are needed to fully understand how biodiversity influences ecosystem function.

Aim To examine the contribution of large‐diameter trees to biomass, stand structure, and species richness across forest biomes. Location Global. Time period Early 21st century. Major taxa studied Woody plants. Methods We examined the contribution of large trees to forest density, richness and biomass using a global network of 48 large (from 2 to 60 ha) forest plots representing 5,601,473 stems across 9,298 species and 210 plant families. This contribution was assessed using three metrics: the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm diameter at breast height (DBH), all trees ≥ 60 cm DBH, and those rank‐ordered largest trees that cumulatively comprise 50% of forest biomass. Results Averaged across these 48 forest plots, the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm DBH comprised 50% of aboveground live biomass, with hectare‐scale standard deviation of 26%. Trees ≥ 60 cm DBH comprised 41% of aboveground live tree biomass. The size of the largest trees correlated with total forest biomass ( r 2 = .62, p r 2 = .45, p r 2 = .33, p r 2 = .17, p = .002). The concentration of biomass in the largest 1% of trees declined with increasing absolute latitude ( r 2 = .46, p r 2 = .31, p r 2 = .26, p Main conclusions Because large‐diameter trees constitute roughly half of the mature forest biomass worldwide, their dynamics and sensitivities to environmental change represent potentially large controls on global forest carbon cycling. We recommend managing forests for conservation of existing large‐diameter trees or those that can soon reach large diameters as a simple way to conserve and potentially enhance ecosystem services.

In Vitro Inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase, Alphaglucosidase, and Xanthine Oxidase by Bacteria Extracts from Coral Reef in Hainan, South China Sea - Lin Tan; Suxia Guo; Funing Ma; Chen Chang; Isabel Gómez-Betancur (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018)
Acetylcholinesterase is one of the most important enzymes in living organisms, which is responsible for the synapse cholinergic and other nervous processes. However, its inhibiting effects have proven to have pharmacological applications in the treatment of different diseases, as well as in the control of insect pests; thus, the search for inhibitors is a matter of interest for biomedical and agrochemical fields. Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which can be seen as a wide degeneration of synapses, as well as neurons, in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and subcortical structures. Acetylcholinesterase inhibition is an important target for the management of Alzheimer’s. Additionally, diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with clinical manifestation of hyperglycemia, due to the ineffective production of insulin that controls the level of blood glucose. Alphaglucosidaseinhibitors could retard the uptake of dietary carbohydrates and have shown significant therapeutic effects in clinical application. Fifty-five ethyl acetate extracts from nine bacterial families from Hainan (China) were evaluated to observe their acetylcholinesterase, alphaglucosidase, and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity. Moreover, a screening of inhibitory activity against the pathogens fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was performed. The best acetylcholinesterase and alphaglucosidase inhibitory activity was shown by Vibrio neocaledonicus (98.95%). This is the first report of inhibition of both enzymes by ethyl acetate extract from this strain.

Long‐term surveys of entire communities of species are needed to measure fluctuations in natural populations and elucidate the mechanisms driving population dynamics and community assembly. We analysed changes in abundance of over 4000 tree species in 12 forests across the world over periods of 6–28 years. Abundance fluctuations in all forests are large and consistent with population dynamics models in which temporal environmental variance plays a central role. At some sites we identify clear environmental drivers, such as fire and drought, that could underlie these patterns, but at other sites there is a need for further research to identify drivers. In addition, cross‐site comparisons showed that abundance fluctuations were smaller at species‐rich sites, consistent with the idea that stable environmental conditions promote higher diversity. Much community ecology theory emphasises demographic variance and niche stabilisation; we encourage the development of theory in which temporal environmental variance plays a central role.
