A new corticioid fungal species Gloeocystidiellum sinense from Yunnan Province, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular evidence. This species is characterised by its cream to pink‐buff hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system, and ellipsoid basidiospores measuring as 3.7–4.4 × 2.8–3.2 µm. The phylogenetic analyses inferred from ITS + nLSU dataset indicated that the new species G. sinense nested wi...

Microbes in the sea surface microlayer (SML) are key to connecting the ocean and the atmosphere, affecting the exchange of matter, momentum, and heat at the interface. However, their sources have never been quantified systematically. Seawater has long been deemed their major source, whereas atmospheric deposition is regarded as trivial or merely providing additional nutrients. Here, combining atmospheric observations and quant...

In order to solve the problems of low efficiency and insufficient accuracy of the traditional manual template method in the forming detection of shell plates, a digital solution based on laser scanning detection system was proposed. By introducing a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm and a high-precision line laser sensor to build a three-dimensional detection platform, a digital template method framework including data acquisi...
