HmsC , a periplasmic protein, controls biofilm formation via repression of HmsD , a diguanylate cyclase in Y ersinia pestis - Gai‐Xian Ren; Hai‐Qin Yan; Hui Zhu; Xiao‐Peng Guo; Yi‐Cheng Sun (Environmental Microbiology, 2014)
Summary Y ersinia pestis , the cause of plague, forms a biofilm in the foregut of its flea vector to enhance transmission. Biofilm formation in Y . pestis is controlled by the intracellular levels of the second messenger molecule cyclic diguanylate ( c ‐ di ‐ GMP ). HmsT and Y 3730, the two diguanylate cyclases (DGC) in Y . pestis , are responsible for the synthesis of c ‐ di ‐ GMP . Y 3730, which we name here as HmsD , has little effect on in vitro biofilms, but has a major effect on biofilm formation in the flea. The mechanism by which HmsD plays differential roles in vivo and in vitro is not understood. In this study, we show that hmsD is part of a three‐gene operon ( y 3729‐31), which we designate as hmsCDE . Deletion of hmsC resulted in increased, hmsD ‐dependent biofilm formation, while deletion or overexpression of hmsE did not affect biofilm formation. Localization experiments suggest that HmsC resides in the periplasmic space. In addition, we provide evidence that HmsC might interact directly with the periplasmic domain of HmsD and cause the proteolysis of HmsD . We propose that HmsC senses the environmental signals, which in turn regulates HmsD , and controls the c ‐ di ‐ GMP synthesis and biofilm formation in Y . pestis .

Spatial patterns and climate drivers of carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems of China - Gui‐Rui Yu; Xian‐Jin Zhu; Yu‐Ling Fu; Hong‐Lin He; Qiu‐Feng Wang; Xue‐Fa Wen; Xuan‐Ran Li; Lei‐Ming Zhang; Li Zhang; Wen Su; Sheng‐Gong Li; Xiao‐Min Sun; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2013)
Understanding the dynamics and underlying mechanism of carbon exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere is one of the key issues in global change research. In this study, we quantified the carbon fluxes in different terrestrial ecosystems in China, and analyzed their spatial variation and environmental drivers based on the long‐term observation data of China FLUX sites and the published data from other flux sites in China. The results indicate that gross ecosystem productivity ( GEP ), ecosystem respiration ( ER ), and net ecosystem productivity ( NEP ) of terrestrial ecosystems in China showed a significantly latitudinal pattern, declining linearly with the increase of latitude. However, GEP , ER , and NEP did not present a clear longitudinal pattern. The carbon sink functional areas of terrestrial ecosystems in China were mainly located in the subtropical and temperate forests, coastal wetlands in eastern China, the temperate meadow steppe in the northeast China, and the alpine meadow in eastern edge of Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. The forest ecosystems had stronger carbon sink than grassland ecosystems. The spatial patterns of GEP and ER in China were mainly determined by mean annual precipitation ( MAP ) and mean annual temperature ( MAT ), whereas the spatial variation in NEP was largely explained by MAT . The combined effects of MAT and MAP explained 79%, 62%, and 66% of the spatial variations in GEP , ER , and NEP , respectively. The GEP , ER , and NEP in different ecosystems in China exhibited ‘positive coupling correlation’ in their spatial patterns. Both ER and NEP were significantly correlated with GEP , with 68% of the per‐unit GEP contributed to ER and 29% to NEP . MAT and MAP affected the spatial patterns of ER and NEP mainly by their direct effects on the spatial pattern of GEP .

In this study, deposition of SO 2 ranging from 9.0 to 127.8 mg kg −1 with an average of 35.7 mg S kg −1 was found to substantially stimulate NO and N 2 O emissions from soils in the humid subtropical areas of Hainan, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Yunnan provinces of China under field conditions. Laboratory tests indicated that the stimulations were mediated biologically as the effects were not observed in sterilized soils. Acidification of soil resulting from SO 2 deposition was not responsible for the stimulated NO and N 2 O emissions alone as the stimulation did not occur by acidifying soil with HNO 3 treatment. By using the 15 N tracing method, we found that the N 2 O emissions stimulated by SO 2 deposition were from either denitrification, heterotrophic nitrification or both, but not from autotrophic nitrification. Therefore, atmospheric SO 2 deposition would most likely stimulate NO and N 2 O emissions in acidic soils in which heterotrophic nitrification dominates NO and N 2 O production and waterlogged soils in which denitrification dominates NO and N 2 O production.

Molecular and morphological evidences reveal a cryptic species in the Vinaceous Rosefinch Carpodacus vinaceus (Fringillidae; Aves) - Hsu‐Chun Wu; Rong‐Chien Lin; Hsin‐Yi Hung; Chia‐Fen Yeh; Jui‐Hua Chu; Xiao‐Jun Yang; Chiou‐Ju Yao; Fa‐Sheng Zou; Cheng‐Te Yao; Shou‐Hsien Li; Fu‐Min Lei (Zoologica Scripta, 2011)
Wu, H.‐C., Lin, R.‐C., Hung, H.‐Y., Yeh, C.‐F., Chu, J.‐H., Yang, X.‐J., Yao, C.‐J., Zou, F.‐S., Yao, C.‐T., Li, S.‐H. & Lei, F.‐M. (2011). Molecular and morphological evidences reveal a cryptic species in the Vinaceous Rosefinch Carpodacus vinaceus (Fringillidae; Aves). — Zoologica Scripta, 40 , 468–478. The Vinaceous Rosefinch ( Carpodacus vinaceus ) is endemic in East Asia with two recognized subspecies – C. v. vinaceus , distributed along the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas, and C. v. formosanus , restricted to Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range. As reflected in a controversial taxonomic history, this vastly disjunctive distribution pattern suggests that the subspecies, having been isolated from each other for a long time, might have diverged, challenging the current taxonomic treatment and calling for possible species delimitation. Sequences of two mitochondrial fragments (mtDNA) and two Z‐linked nuclear loci (zDNA) were used to reconstruct the intraspecific phylogeny of C. vinaceous . The mtDNA tree shows that the two subspecies of the vinaceous rosefinch form two exclusively monophyletic clades. All but one zDNA sequences from the nominate subspecies and C. v. formosanus also formed exclusively monophyletic clades (the exceptional zDNA sequence from C. v. vinaceous formed a weakly supported clade with two outgroup species). Moreover, by conducting quantitative comparisons of morphometric traits and male plumage coloration, we found that the two subspecies exhibit distinguishable morphological differences. All the evidence therefore suggests that C. v. formosanus is a cryptic species and that its taxonomic status should be restored to full species. Molecular dating suggests that the two sibling rosefinches split 1.7 ± 0.2 million years ago, providing a point estimate for the historical connectivity of biota between eastern Tibet‐Himalayas and montane Taiwan.

Statistical analysis of observed and simulated hourly surface wind in the vicinity of the Panama Canal - Fang‐Yi Cheng; Konstantine P. Georgakakos (International Journal of Climatology, 2011)
Surface wind patterns at the Panama Canal vicinity are identified on the basis of 6 years of observed hourly surface wind data and with the use of high‐resolution numerical model simulations. Statistical analysis of the observed wind at various stations in the Panama Canal is presented, together with the analysis of simulated surface wind fields that are obtained from the MM5 mesoscale meteorological model using surface wind assimilation and forced by North American regional reanalysis data. The performance analysis indicates that the 2‐km‐resolution MM5 model surface wind simulations have skill when compared with the observations at the measurement sites. The analysis of the wind fields for the period 2002–2007 shows that the dry season (January to April) is more spatially and temporally coherent than the wet season in the region. The simulated wind shows that the average wind speed reaches up to 7–8 m s −1 and the frequency of exceeding 5 m s −1 reaches up to 0.7–0.8 in Lake Gatun, the entrance/exit of the Canal in the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, and at high elevations. The dry season exhibits higher climatological wind speeds and exceedence frequencies than the wet season but the wet season shows greater spatial variability. For both seasons, the morning hours have lower average winds than the evening hours. The analysis underlines the significant influence of convection, sea breeze and local conditions (elevation gradients and land surface cover) in the observed and simulated surface wind patterns. The information presented herein, particularly as regards the Canal centerline results, may be useful for identifying the effects of air pollution from sources aboard transiting cargo ships on large communities in the Canal vicinity (e.g. Panama City). Information presented is also relevant to regional wind energy studies and fog formation analyses. Copyright © 2010 Royal Meteorological Society
