Human activities have placed significant pressure on the terrestrial biosphere, leading to ecosystem degradation and carbon losses. However, the full impact of these activities on terrestrial biomass carbon remains unexplored. In this study, we examined changes in global human footprint (HFP) and human‐induced aboveground biomass carbon (AGBC) losses from 2000 to 2018. Our findings show an increasing trend in HFP globally, resulting in the conversion of wilderness areas to highly modified regions. These changes have altered global biomes' habitats, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. We also found accelerated AGBC loss driven by HFP expansion, with a total loss of 19.99 ± 0.196 PgC from 2000 to 2018, especially in tropical regions. Additionally, AGBC is more vulnerable in the Global South than in the Global North. Human activities threaten natural habitats, resulting in increasing AGBC loss even in strictly protected areas. Therefore, scientifically guided planning of future human activities is crucial to protect half of Earth through mitigation and adaptation under future risks of climate change and global urbanization.

Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Dynamics During Drought Responsiveness in Tibetan Hulless Barley - Dunzhu Jiabu; Mingzhai Yu; Qijun Xu; Haizhen Yang; Wang Mu; Yuzhen Basang (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2023)
Differences in drought stress tolerance within diverse grass genotypes have been attributed to epigenetic modifications. DNA methylation is an important epigenetic alteration regulating responses to drought stress. However, its effects on drought tolerance are poorly understood in Tibetan hulless barley. Here, bisulfite sequencing was conducted to profile the DNA methylation patterns of drought-tolerant variety (XL) and drought-sensitive (DQ) under drought and control conditions. A total of 5843 million reads were generated. We found the significant genome-wide changes in CHH methylation rates between XL and DQ, while CG or CHG methylation rates did not. Besides that, the two contrasting varieties do reveal distinct responses to drought stress in antioxidant activities and differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Genes in drought-tolerant varieties XL are rapidly and significantly methylated when exposed to drought stimulus. These DMRs-related genes in XL are significantly enriched in defense response and response to stimuli via gene-ontology enrichment analysis. Then, we focused on 1003 transcription factors and identified 15 specific DMRs-related transcription factors exhibiting specific methylation changes under drought stimuli. Finally, we identified three DMRs-related TFs ( HvRR12, HvRR2, and HvCSP41B ), where Arabidopsis homologs involve in responses to drought conditions. Altogether, abiotic stresses could be rapidly respond and mediated by methylation of transcription factors in hulless barely.

Population genetics of zig-zag eel (Mastacembelus armatus) uncover gene flow between an isolated island and the mainland China - Yexin Yang; Yuanyuan Wang; Yuli Wu; Yi Liu; Chao Liu; Zhiyong Jiang; Xidong Mu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Introduction Mastacembelus armatus is a commercially valuable fish, normally distributed in southern China and Southeast Asia. The natural population size of M. armatus is shrinking in recent years because of overfishing and habitat loss. In order to clarify the genetic diversity and differentiation of M. armatus populations, we collected 114 samples from eight populations in southern China and Vietnam and analyzed their population structure using nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences, the concatenated 18S and ITS2 regions. Methods Genomic DNA from the fin clip was extracted and sequenced on an Illumina novaseq 6000 (Illumina, USA) high-throughput sequencing platform in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. After assembly and annotation, haplotype diversity, TCS network analysis, AMOVA analysis, population pairwise genetic distances, and UPGMA tree construction were conducted based on the concatenated sequences of 18S and ITS2. Results and discussion In total, eleven nrDNA haplotypes were detected based on the concatenated sequences of 18S and ITS2. Amongst, three haplotypes were the main haplotypes, as representatives of three corresponding Clusters. There were two major Clusters in China, however, the Cluster in Vietnam was significantly divergent from the other two in China, likely due to the lack of river connection between China and Vietnam. Interestingly, based on low FST value, we found that gene flow occurred between the isolated island, Hainan Province, and the mainland China of Guangxi Province, probably as a result of exposed continental shelf connected them during glacial periods. In general, combing our data and literature data, genetic diversity and differentiation of M. armatus populations are relatively high regardless of spatial scale, although their natural population size is declining. This suggests that it is not too late to adopt measures to protect M. armatus, which benefits not only species itself but also the whole ecosystem.

Multi‐omics reveal differentiation and maintenance of dimorphic flowers in an alpine plant on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau - Mingjia Zhu; Zhenyue Wang; Yongzhi Yang; Zefu Wang; Wenjie Mu; Jianquan Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2023)
Dimorphic flowers growing on a single individual plant play a critical role in extreme adaption and reproductive assurance in plants and have high ecological and evolutionary significance. However, the omics bases underlying such a differentiation and maintenance remain largely unknown. We aimed to investigate this through genomic, transcriptome and metabolomic analyses of dimorphic flowers in an alpine biennial, Sinoswertia tetraptera (Gentianaceae). A high‐quality chromosome‐level genome sequence (903 Mb) was first assembled for S. tetraptera with 31,359 protein‐coding genes annotated. Two rounds of recent independent whole‐genome duplication (WGD) were revealed. Numerous genes from the recent species‐specific WGD were found to be differentially expressed in the two types of flowers, and this may have helped contribute to the origin of this innovative trait. The genes with contrasting expressions between flowers were related to biosynthesis of hormones, floral pigments (carotenoids and flavonoids) and iridoid compounds, which are involved in both flower development and colour. Metabolomic analyses similarly suggested differential concentrations of these chemicals in the two types of flowers. The expression interactions between multiple genes may together lead to contrasting morphology and chemical concentration and open versus closed pollination of the dimorphic flowers in this species for reproductive assurance.

Compared with the surface, the deep environment has the advantages of allowing “super-quiet and ultra-clean”-geophysical field observation with low vibration noise and little electromagnetic interference, which are conducive to therealization of long-term and high-precision observation of multi-physical fields, thus enabling the solution of a series of geoscience problems. In the Panyidong Coal Mine, where there are extensive underground tunnels at the depth of 848 m belowsea level, we carried out the first deep-underground geophysical observations, including radioactivity, gravity, magnetic, magne-totelluric, background vibration and six-component seismic observations. We concluded from these measurements that (1) the background of deep subsurface gravity noise in the long-period frequency band less than 2 Hz is nearly two orders ofmagnitude weaker than that in the surface observation environment; (2) the underground electric field is obviously weaker thanthe surface electric field, and the relatively high frequency of the underground field, greater than 1 Hz, is more than two orders of magnitude weaker than that of the surface electric field; the east-west magnetic field underground is approximately the same asthat at the surface; the relatively high-frequency north-south magnetic field underground, below 10 Hz, is at least one order ofmagnitude lower than that at the surface, showing that the underground has a clean electromagnetic environment; (3) in additionto the high-frequency and single-frequency noises introduced by underground human activities, the deep underground spacehas a sig-nificantly lower background vibration noise than the surface, which is very beneficial to the detection of weakearthquake and gravity signals; and (4) the underground roadway support system built with ferromagnetic material interferesthe geomagnetic field. We also found that for deep observation in the “ultra-quiet and ultra-clean” environment, the existinggeophysical equipment and observation technology have problems of poor adaptability and insufficient precision as well asdata cleaning problems, such as the effective separation of the signal and noise of deep observation data. It is also urgent tointerpret and comprehensively utilize these high-precision multi-physics observation data.

Is China’s Fishing Capacity Management Sufficient? Quantitative Assessment of China’s Efforts toward Fishing Capacity Management and Proposals for Improvement - Hyun-Joo Yang; Daomin Peng; Honghong Liu; Yongtong Mu; Do-Hoon Kim (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
As the country with the world’s largest fishing capacity, China suffers from the depletion of living marine resources, mainly caused by overexploitation, the effects of which also distinctly influence global sustainable utilization of marine resources and maritime order. The country has implemented a series of measures to control its national fishing capacity, notably since the late 1980s, and strongly expressed its responsibility and commitment to sustainable resource utilization in the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020). This study quantitatively assesses the effect of China’s fishing capacity management efforts by examining changes in the fishing capacity of marine capture fisheries by region from 1979 to 2019 in Chinese waters, based on window data envelopment analysis (DEA), and further proposes directions for policy adjustment. The results suggest that China’s coastal and offshore fisheries are still subject to overcapacity of approximately 20%, despite major corrective efforts invested in past decades. This implies that China needs to further improve its fishing capacity management and set clear objectives, as determined by the availability of resources and regional features. Global fisheries management’s focus is shifting from input to output control, but overcapacity still threatens the sustainable use of fisheries resources in China and poses obstacles to other systems.

Exotic fishes that are phylogenetically close but functionally distant to native fishes are more likely to establish - Meng Xu; Shao‐peng Li; Jaimie T. A. Dick; Dangen Gu; Miao Fang; Yexin Yang; Yinchang Hu; Xidong Mu (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Since Darwin's time, degree of ecological similarity between exotic and native species has been assumed to affect the establishment success or failure of exotic species. However, a direct test of the effect of exotic–native similarity on establishment of exotics is scarce because of the difficulty in recognizing failures of species to establish in the field. Here, using a database on the establishment success and failure of exotic fish species introduced into 673 freshwater lakes, we evaluate the effect of similarity on the establishment of exotic fishes by combining phylogenetic and functional information. We illustrate that, relative to other biotic and abiotic factors, exotic–native phylogenetic and functional similarities were the most important correlates of exotic fish establishment. While phylogenetic similarity between exotic and resident fish species promoted successful establishment, functional similarity led to failure of exotics to become established. Those exotic species phylogenetically close to, but functionally distant from, native fishes were most likely to establish successfully. Our findings provide a perspective to reconcile Darwin's naturalization conundrum and suggest that, while phylogenetic relatedness allows exotic fish species to pre‐adapt better to novel environments, they need to possess distinct functional traits to reduce competition with resident native fish species.

An Updated Genome Assembly Improves Understanding of the Transcriptional Regulation of Coloration in Midas Cichlid - Yunyun Lv; Yanping Li; Yi Liu; Zhengyong Wen; Yexin Yang; Chuanjie Qin; Qiong Shi; Xidong Mu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Midas cichlid ( Amphilophus citrinellus ), a popular aquarium fish, attracts extensive attention from worldwide biologists mainly due to its morphological polymorphism (dark versus gold). Continuous efforts have therefore been paid to address mechanisms of its coloration variants, while it is far away from the detailed illustration of a clear regulatory network. Some limits may come from the absence of a high-quality genome assembly and a relatively accurate gene set. In this study, we sequenced about 149 Gb of nucleotide sequences of Midas cichlid, generating a genome assembly with a total size of 933.5 Mb, which exhibits a good genome continuity with a contig N50 of 10.5 Mb. A total of 25,911 protein-coding genes were annotated and about 90% completeness was achieved, which helps to build a good gene pool for understanding expressional differences of color variation. With the assistance of the final gene set, we identified a total of 277 differential expressional genes (DEGs), of which 97 up- and 180 downregulated were determined in dark-vs-gold comparisons. Two protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed from these DEGs, and three key functional modules were classified. Hub genes within each module were evaluated, and we found that the third key module contains tyrp1b , oca2 , pmela , tyr , and slc24a5 , which were previously proven to be associated with melanin formation. Two downregulated DEGs ( myl1 and pgam2 ) in the first key module may be involved in muscle movement and spermatogenesis, implying that certain side effects could result from the morphological polymorphism. The first key module, consisting of proteins encoded by upregulated DEGs that were associated with MAPK signaling, Toll-like receptor signaling, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone pathways, may contribute to a negative upstream regulation or downstream influence on melanin biosynthesis. Taken together, our new genome assembly and gene annotation of Midas cichlid provide a high-quality genetic resource for biological studies on this species, and the newly identified key networks and hub genes in dark-vs-gold comparisons enhance our understanding of the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying coloration changes not only in Midas cichlid but also in other fishes from freshwater to marine ecosystems.

A Proposed Scheme of Fishing Quota Allocation to Ensure the Sustainable Development of China’s Marine Capture Fisheries - Honghong Liu; Daomin Peng; Hyun-Joo Yang; Yongtong Mu; Yugui Zhu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The sustainable development of marine capture fisheries (MCFs) plays a significant role in food security, economic development, and employment stability. The lack of information on the sustainability of MCFs, along with the inadequate management of fisheries output controls, has weakened China’s efforts towards a national catch limit target of no more than 10 million tons from capture fisheries until 2020. Furthermore, overfishing and fishery conflicts still exist. In order to try and resolve the above problems and achieve the sustainable use of fishery resources, an evaluation of the development status of these fisheries based on the coupling coordination model has been undertaken. The results show that the social, economic, and biological systems of MCFs in coastal areas of China interact with each other while their development is not coordinated, and regional differences exist. This study integrates the socioeconomic indicators using the catch-share program as a breakthrough methodology to resolve inconsistencies. The results under different allocation schemes suggest that the multifactor scheme is more equitable than the single-factor scheme, which enhances the fairness of the initial distribution.

Summary The recently proposed order Candidatus Thermoprofundales, currently containing only one family‐level lineage Marine Benthic Group‐D (MBG‐D), is distributed in global subsurface ecosystems and ecologically important, but its diversity, evolution and metabolism remain largely unknown. Here we described two novel family‐level specialized lineages in Ca . Thermoprofundales, JdFR‐43 and HyVt, which are restricted to specific biotopes (primarily in marine hydrothermal vents and occasionally in oil reservoirs and hot springs) in contrast to the cosmopolitan lineage MBG‐D. The comparative genomics revealed that the specialized lineages have streamlined genomes, higher GC contents, enriched genes associated with nucleotide biosynthesis, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair and additional thermostable aminopeptidases, enabling them to adapt to high‐temperature habitats such as marine hydrothermal vents, deep subsurface oil reservoirs and hot springs. On the contrary, the unique metabolic traits of the cosmopolitan MBG‐D, motility, glycolysis, butanoate metabolism, secondary metabolites production and additional genes for specific peptides and carbohydrates degradation potentially enhance its response to environmental change. Substrate preference is found for most MAGs across all lineages with the ability to utilize both polysaccharides (chitin and starch) and proteinaceous substances, whereas JdFR‐43 members from oil reservoirs can only utilize proteins. These results expand the diversity of C a . Thermoprofundales significantly and further improve our understandings of the adaptations of C a . Thermoprofundales to various environments.

Tea Polyphenols Improve Down-Regulation of Mitochondrial Functional Gene Expression Induced by Bisphenol A in Zebrafish Ovaries - Xiaoxin Dai; Lijun Qiu; Han Zhang; Chunying Xu; Bo Zhao; Yang Gao; Haidong Li; Yi Mu; Zhangjie Chu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The plasticizer bisphenol A, a typical endocrine disrupting chemical, is widely present in the environment. Previous studies demonstrated that exposure to bisphenol A can cause reproductive toxicity, abnormal fertilization, and infertility. However, the mechanisms of low-concentration bisphenol A on the reproductive system and treatment measures have not been fully determined. In this study, we explored the transcriptomic profiles of female zebrafish ovaries. The transcriptomic data revealed that mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase (mt-Nd) genes were significantly decreased in the bisphenol A-exposed group, while the co-administration of tea polyphenols remarkably elevated the expression of mt-Nd genes. To further explore the expression pattern of the mt-Nd, we analyzed the expression of six mt-Nd genes on different days by qRT-PCR in control, bisphenol A-exposed, and bisphenol A-tea polyphenols ovaries. Here, we found that 0.1 mg/L bisphenol A exposure adversely affects the mitochondrial respiratory chain in ovaries and may lead to reproductive disorders. Finally, our study demonstrated that tea polyphenols play a protective role in ovarian mitochondrial dysfunction in low-concentration bisphenol A-exposed female zebrafish.

(The Cerebellum, 2022)
The cerebellum is ontogenetically one of the first structures to develop in the central nervous system; nevertheless, it has been only recently reconsidered for its significant neurobiological, functional, and clinical relevance in humans. Thus, it has been a relatively under-studied compared to the cerebrum. Currently, non-invasive imaging modalities can barely reach the necessary resolution to unfold its entire, convoluted surface, while only histological analyses can reveal local information at the micrometer scale. Herein, we used the BigBrain dataset to generate area and point-wise thickness measurements for all layers of the cerebellar cortex and for each lobule in particular. We found that the overall surface area of the cerebellar granular layer (including Purkinje cells) was 1,732 cm 2 and the molecular layer was 1,945 cm 2 . The average thickness of the granular layer is 0.88 mm (± 0.83) and that of the molecular layer is 0.32 mm (± 0.08). The cerebellum (both granular and molecular layers) is thicker at the depth of the sulci and thinner at the crowns of the gyri. Globally, the granular layer is thicker in the lateral-posterior-inferior region than the medial-superior regions. The characterization of individual layers in the cerebellum achieved herein represents a stepping-stone for investigations interrelating structural and functional connectivity with cerebellar architectonics using neuroimaging, which is a matter of considerable relevance in basic and clinical neuroscience. Furthermore, these data provide templates for the construction of cerebellar topographic maps and the precise localization of structural and functional alterations in diseases affecting the cerebellum.

Molecular Evolution of Tooth-Related Genes Provides New Insights into Dietary Adaptations of Mammals - Yuan Mu; Ran Tian; Linlin Xiao; Di Sun; Zepeng Zhang; Shixia Xu; Guang Yang (Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2021)
Mammals have evolved different tooth phenotypes that are hypothesized to be associated with feeding habits. However, the genetic basis for the linkage has not been well explored. In this study, we investigated 13 tooth-related genes, including seven enamel-related genes ( AMELX , AMBN , ENAM , AMTN , ODAM , KLK4 and MMP20 ) and six dentin-related genes ( DSPP , COL1A1 , DMP1 , IBSP , MEPE and SPP1 ), from 63 mammals to determine their evolutionary history. Our results showed that different evolutionary histories have evolved among divergent feeding habits in mammals. There was stronger positive selection for eight genes ( ENAM , AMTN , ODAM , KLK4 , DSPP , DMP1 , COL1A1 , MEPE ) in herbivore lineages. In addition, AMELX , AMBN , ENAM , AMTN , MMP20 and COL1A1 underwent accelerated evolution in herbivores. While relatively strong positive selection was detected in IBSP , SPP1 , and DSPP , accelerated evolution was only detected for MEPE and SPP1 genes among the carnivorous lineages. We found positive selection on AMBN and ENAM genes for omnivorous primates in the catarrhini clade. Interestingly, a significantly positive association between the evolutionary rate of ENAM , ODAM , KLK4 , MMP20 and the average enamel thickness was found in primates. Additionally, we found molecular convergence in some amino acid sites of tooth-related genes among the lineages whose feeding habit are similar. The positive selection of related genes might promote the formation and bio-mineralization of tooth enamel and dentin, which would make the tooth structure stronger. Our results revealed that mammalian tooth-related genes have experienced variable evolutionary histories, which provide some new insights into the molecular basis of dietary adaptation in mammals.

Diurnal cycle of summer precipitation over the Eastern Tibetan Plateau and surrounding regions simulated in a convection-permitting model - Shuxin Cai; Anning Huang; Kefeng Zhu; Ben Yang; Xianyu Yang; Yang Wu; Xiyu Mu (Climate Dynamics, 2021)
Based on the hourly gauge-satellite merged precipitation data with the spatial resolution of 0.1° × 0.1° during 2013 ~ 2018, we have evaluated the performance of the convection-permitting Weather Research and Forecasting model at Nanjing University (WRF_NJU) in forecasting the precipitation diurnal variation and the associated atmospheric circulation over the eastern Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding regions during summer. Results indicate that WRF_NJU model can well reproduce the diurnal cycle of the summer precipitation in terms of the diurnal peak time, duration and magnitude. In addition, the eastward propagation of rainfall systems with long duration along the eastern Tibetan Plateau (ETP) and its adjacent areas can also be properly captured. The WRF_NJU model can reasonably reproduce the relevant atmospheric circulation during summer as well. However, the model tends to underestimate the summer precipitation amount (PA) and precipitation frequency (PF) over most time of a day. Relatively larger biases in the occurring time and magnitude of PA and PF diurnal peaks can be noted over the ETP and Sichuan Basin. Further analysis suggests that the underestimation of PA over the ETP is attributed to the much lower moisture supply, weaker low-level southwesterly winds and less convective available potential energy (CAPE) in the WRF_NJU model than in ERA5. Over Sichuan Basin, the underestimated PA is related to the weaker upward motion, which is corresponding to the cold biases of surface air temperature in WRF_NJU. Findings of this study provide the basic model biases and may be helpful to further improve the model physical processes.

The Price Difference and Trend Analysis of Yesso Scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) in Changhai County, China - Daomin Peng; Qian Yang; Yongtong Mu; Hongzhi Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
This paper focuses on the difference in inter-group and intra-group price of Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) and the simulation accuracy of three different exponential smoothing models in the price. Based on the farm-gate price and wholesale price data of P. yessoensis in Changhai county from January 2017 to December 2018, this study uses the Wilcoxon rank sum test to compare the inter- and intra-group price and applies simple exponential smoothing (SES), Holt’s linear trend method, and Holt-Winters’ additive method to simulate and predict the price. The results suggest that (i) to improve economic benefits, it is necessary to formulate reasonable farming area and establish low-density ecological cultivation mode; (ii) the price’s Akaike information criterion (AIC) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values by the SES model are optimal, and the MAPE value is lower than 4%; and (iii) the result of SES analysis shows no obvious change from January to March 2019.

Main conclusion Chitinase family genes were involved in the response of Brassica oleracea to Fusarium wilt, powdery mildew, black spot and downy mildew. Abstract Abstract Chitinase, a category of pathogenesis-related proteins, is believed to play an important role in defending against external stress in plants. However, a comprehensive analysis of the chitin-binding gene family has not been reported to date in cabbage ( Brassica oleracea L.), especially regarding the roles that chitinases play in response to various diseases. In this study, a total of 20 chitinase genes were identified using a genome-wide search method. Phylogenetic analysis was employed to classify these genes into two groups. The genes were distributed unevenly across six chromosomes in cabbage, and all of them contained few introns (≤ 2). The results of collinear analysis showed that the cabbage genome contained 1–5 copies of each chitinase gene (excluding Bol035470 ) identified in Arabidopsis . The heatmap of the chitinase gene family showed that these genes were expressed in various tissues and organs. Two genes ( Bol023322 and Bol041024 ) were relatively highly expressed in all of the investigated tissues under normal conditions, exhibiting the expression characteristics of housekeeping genes. In addition, under four different stresses, namely, Fusarium wilt, powdery mildew, black spot and downy mildew, we detected 9, 5, 8 and 8 genes with different expression levels in different treatments, respectively. Our results may help to elucidate the roles played by chitinases in the responses of host plants to various diseases.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa antitoxin HigA functions as a diverse regulatory factor by recognizing specific pseudopalindromic DNA motifs - Yingjie Song; Guihua Luo; Yibo Zhu; Tao Li; Changcheng Li; Lihui He; Ninglin Zhao; Chang Zhao; Jing Yang; Qin Huang; Xingyu Mu; Xinyue Tang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Type II toxin‐antitoxin (TA) systems modulate many essential cellular processes in prokaryotic organisms. Recent studies indicate certain type II antitoxins also transcriptionally regulate other genes, besides neutralizing toxin activity. Herein, we investigated the diverse transcriptional repression properties of type II TA antitoxin PaHigA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Biochemical and functional analyses showed that PaHigA recognized variable pseudopalindromic DNA sequences and repressed expression of multiple genes. Furthermore, we presented high resolution structures of apo‐PaHigA, PaHigA‐P higBA and PaHigA‐P pa2440 complex, describing how the rearrangements of the HTH domain accounted for the different DNA‐binding patterns among HigA homologues. Moreover, we demonstrated that the N‐terminal loop motion of PaHigA was associated with its apo and DNA‐bound states, reflecting a switch mechanism regulating HigA antitoxin function. Collectively, this work extends our understanding of how the PaHigB/HigA system regulates multiple metabolic pathways to balance the growth and stress response in P. aeruginosa and could guide further development of anti‐TA oriented strategies for pathogen treatment.

A global analysis of enemy release and its variation with latitude - Meng Xu; Xidong Mu; Shuang Zhang; Jaimie T. A. Dick; Bingtao Zhu; Dangen Gu; Yexin Yang; Du Luo; Yinchang Hu (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021)
Aim The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) posits that exotic species suffer less enemy damage than natives, which promotes their successful invasion. However, the generality of less damage for exotics remains widely debated. A recent view proposes that enemy release (ER) could change systematically with latitude, potentially helping to explain these inconsistencies. Here, we test whether exotic plant species suffer consistently lower herbivore damage relative to natives and whether ER varies with latitude. Location Global. Time period 1960–2018. Major taxa studied Plants. Methods Using leaf herbivory data for 1,098 plant species, we compared the herbivory rate between exotic and native plants across all taxa, between the introduced and native range of exotic species and between exotic and native species co‐occurring in the same community. We tested the interaction effect between origin (exotic versus native) and latitude to assess variation in ER with latitude. We also examined whether the effect of origin and its interaction with latitude changed with plant growth form (woody versus non‐woody). Finally, based on two ER effect‐size datasets, two meta‐regressions were performed to demonstrate the relationship between ER and latitude. Results Leaf herbivory rates were commonly lower for exotics than for natives. However, this differential herbivory rate was significant only for woody plants. No significant interactions were found between origin and latitude, indicating that ER did not change with latitude. The meta‐regressions also demonstrated that ER was not significantly correlated with latitude. Main conclusions The widespread lower herbivory rate for exotic compared with native woody plant species supports the ERH for exotic woody plants. Consistent ER with latitude indicates that ER should play a similar role regardless of latitude. One future challenge is to assess the extent to which ER in woody exotic plants translates to performance advantages and thereby influences their invasion success.
