The impact of anthropogenic disturbances during reservoir development on the ecological system—encompassing both environmental and microbial components—has long been overlooked. This study pioneers the investigation into the effects of microbially activated water flooding on both reservoir environments and indigenous microbial communities. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the B9 Reservoir’s parameters before and after...

As a representative genetic and economic trait, pigmentation has a strong impact on speciation and adaptation. However, information and reports on microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with pigmentation remain limited. The Midas cichlid fish, with three typical distinct stages of body color pattern, “black-gray-gold”, is an ideal model system for investigating pigmentation traits. In this study, miRNA libraries from scale tissues with...
