Recently, the French Michelin Group started a cooperation with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to establish environmentally and socially sustainable 'model' rubber plantations in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia. The framing of Michelin's tyre production as 'eco-friendly' and their purported 'sustainable' rubber cultivation contradict with statements by villagers living around Michelin's plantation in Jambi Province, Sumatra, who are reporting environmental destruction and land tenure conflicts. Conceptually, we build on political ecology and critical human geography perspectives to identify conflicts and ambiguities related to sustainability claims, deforestation and dispossession. Empirically, we draw on qualitative research in a village affected by the plantation. We confront and deconstruct the discursive framing of sustainable rubber production with our empirical findings. We show how the plantation restricts access to land and instead of providing additional income, is actually limiting development opportunities.

Despite its scale and impact, comprehensive characterization of the global wildlife trade is hampered by data that are limited in their temporal or taxonomic scope and detail. To help fill this gap, we present data on 15 years of the importation of wildlife and their derived products into the United States (2000-2014), originally collected by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. We curated and cleaned the data and added taxonomic information to improve data usability. These data include >2 million wildlife or wildlife product shipments, representing >60 biological classes and >3.2 billion live organisms. Further, the majority of species in the dataset are not currently reported on by CITES parties. These data will be broadly useful to both scientists and policymakers seeking to better understand the volume, sources, biological composition, and potential risks of the global wildlife trade.

Such materials are sometimes time limited due to degradation, discarding, or other loss. The Japanese cultural art of 'gyotaku', which means "fish impression" or "fish rubbing" in English, captures accurate images of fish specimens, and has been used by recreational fishermen and artists since the Edo Period (the oldest known 'gyotaku' was made in 1839). 'Gyotaku' images often include distributional information, i.e., locality and sampling date. To determine the extent and usefulness of these data, field and questionnaire surveys targeting leisure fishing and boating stores were conducted in the following regions where threatened or extinct fishing targets exist (four regions including the northernmost to the southernmost regions). As a result, 261 'gyotaku' rubbings were digitally copied with their owners' consents. From these, distributional data were extracted for 218 individuals, which roughly represented regional fish faunas and common fishing targets. The peak number of 'gyotaku' stocked at the surveyed shops was made in 2002, while ones made before 1985 were much fewer. The number of 'gyotaku' rubbings made in recent years shows a recovery trend after 2011-2012. The present study demonstrates the validity of examining 'gyotaku' for historical biodiversity information.

Multiple studies on the gastropod family Neritidae record three species of the genus Neritina in the Brazilian Province: Neritina zebra (Brtiguire, 1792), Neritina virginea (Linnaeus, 1758), and Neritina meleagris Lamarck, 1822. While N zebra has a well-established taxonomic status and geographical distribution, the same cannot be said regarding its congeners. A widely cited reference for the group in Brazil considers N. meleagris a junior synonym of N. virginea. Using a molecular approach (phylogenetic, species delimitation, and statistical parsimony network analyses), based on two mitochondrial markers (COI and 16S), this study investigated if N. virginea and N. meleagris are distinct species. The molecular results confirmed the existence of two strongly supported distinct taxonomic entities in the Brazilian Province, which is consistent with the morphological descriptions previously proposed for N. virginea and N. meleagris. These species occur in sympatry in the intertidal sandstone formations of Northeastern Brazil. Despite the great variation in the colour patterns of the shells, the present study reinforced previous observations that allowed the differentiation of these two species based on these patterns. It also emphasized the importance of the separation of these two clades in future studies, especially those conducted in the Brazilian Province, since these species may cohabit.

We currently know very little about the combined effects of these changes on the links between the community structure, dynamics and the resulting in situ CO2 concentrations in freshwater ecosystems. Here we aimed to determine both individual and combined effects of temperature and non-resource diversity (species inedible for a given consumer) on CO2 concentration. Our analysis further aimed to establish both direct effects on CO2 concentrations and potential indirect effects that occur via changes to the phytoplankton and zooplankton biomasses. Our results showed that there were no interactive effects of changes in temperature and diversity on CO2 concentration in the water. Instead, independent increases in either temperature or non-resource diversity resulted in a substantial reduction in CO2 concentrations, particularly at the highest non-resource diversity. The effects of non-resource diversity and warming on CO2 were indirect, resulting largely from the positive impacts on total biomass of primary producers. Our study is the first to experimentally partition the impacts of temperature and diversity on the consumer-resource dynamics and associated changes to CO2 concentrations. It provides new mechanistic insights into the role of diverse plankton communities for ecosystem functioning and their importance in regulating CO2 dynamics under ongoing climate warming.

The primary objective was to evaluate the level of understanding among a group of African-American women concerning risks of PTB in future pregnancies. Secondary objectives were to evaluate how some women obtain information about PTB and to identify ways to raise their awareness. Methods Six focus groups were conducted in three locations in the USA during 2016 with women (N = 60) who had experienced >= 1 PTB (< 37 weeks of gestation) during the last 5 years. The population was geographically, economically, and educationally diverse. Results We observed a tendency to normalize PTB. Knowledge about potential complications for the infant was lacking and birth weight was prioritized over gestational age as an indicator of PTB. Participants were largely unaware of factors associated with increased PTB risk, such as a previous PTB and race/ethnicity. The most trusted information source was the obstetrical care provider, although participants reported relying on mobile apps, websites, and chat rooms. The optimal time to receive information about PTB risk in subsequent pregnancies was identified as the postpartum visit in the provider's office. Conclusions Awareness of the risks of recurrent PTB was limited in this diverse population. Educational programs on the late-stage development of neonates may strengthen knowledge on the relationship between gestational age and PTB and associated health/developmental implications. For educational efforts to be successful, a strong nonjudgmental, positive, solutions-oriented message focused on PTB risk factors is crucial.

SO CONSERVATION LETTERS LA English DT Article; Early Access DE biodiversity conservation; Bonn Challenge; carbon storage; deforestation; forest landscape restoration; longevity; persistence; REDD plus; reforestation; sustainable development ID ECOSYSTEMS; DYNAMICS; SPACE; AREA; LONG AB Numerous countries have made voluntary commitments to conduct forest landscape restoration over millions of hectares of degraded land in the coming decade. We consider the relative likelihood these countries will achieve their restoration commitments. Across countries, the area committed to restoration increased with existing forest and plantation area, but was inversely related to development status, with less developed countries pledging more area. Restoration commitments are generally large (median: 2 million hectares) and will be challenging to meet without the wholesale transformation of food production systems. Indeed, one third of countries committed >10% of their land area to restoration (maximum: 81%). Furthermore, high rates of land cover change may reverse gains: a quarter of countries experienced recent deforestation and agricultural expansion that exceeded their restoration commitment area. The limited progress reported by countries, and the sheer scale of commitments, raises serious questions about long-term success, especially absent necessary monitoring and management plans.

WILLD.; ENZYME-ACTIVITY; ECOENZYMATIC STOICHIOMETRY; CLIMATE-CHANGE; CRUSTS; LICHEN; BIODIVERSITY; DIVERSITY; COVER; MULTIFUNCTIONALITY AB Human activities have doubled, or even tripled, the amount of nitrogen (N) fixed globally, which alters the functioning and reduces the biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, we used a 10-year N addition experiment in a semi-arid Mediterranean shrubland in central Spain to evaluate the effects of increased N deposition on biocrust cover, soil microbial enzymatic activity and their spatial patterns. We collected highly replicated, spatially explicit data to carry out Moran's I correlograms at the plot level and used linear mixed models to evaluate the effects of N addition on cover, microbial activity and Moran's I values for each distance class of correlograms. High N deposition (50 kg N ha(-1) year(-1)) reduced the cover of the foliose lichen Cladonia foliacea, an important component of biocrusts, and generated significant alterations and losses of the spatial pattern of biocrusts and soil microbial enzymatic activity. Furthermore, we found indication that N addition altered the relationship between biocrust cover and microbial enzymatic activity, suggesting that the presence of well-developed biocrust communities modulates the effects of high N deposition on soil microbial activity. Synthesis. Overall, our study suggests that an increase in N deposition may have important consequences for the structure and functioning of Mediterranean ecosystems and that some of these consequences may be due to alterations in the way in which different soil communities (e.g. moss-lichen biocrusts and soil microorganisms) interact with one another.

Here we investigated whether this phenomenon might be applied to litter decomposition as a key carbon and nutrient cycling process. We hypothesized that species litter mass-weighted predictions of community-level litter decomposition based on dominant rates only, would deviate strongly from observed community-level rates, and that predictions would improve as subordinates with strongly contrasting traits were combined with those of their dominant counterparts. We tested this hypothesis through a 1-year field decomposition experiment across a chronological sequence in a subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest. The experiment included the single-species litter of evergreen dominants, evergreen subordinates and deciduous subordinates, respectively, as well as community-level litter mixtures. The expected community-weighted mean decomposition rates based on the evergreen dominants alone, with or without the addition of evergreen subordinates, deviated strongly from those of observed community litter mixtures at the middle and late succession stages, but not at the early stage. When adding deciduous subordinates to this expectation, there was no longer any difference to the observed community litter decomposition rate across succession stages. Deciduous subordinates alone explained 7%, 21% and 15% of the total variation in community litter mixture decomposition rate for early, middle and late successional stages, respectively, which is more than would be expected from their litter mass fraction. Synthesis. Deciduous subordinates with strongly contrasting nutritional and water-storage traits compared to the dominant evergreens significantly impacted litter decomposition at the community-level in spite of their low abundance. This study highlights the importance of 'being different' for subordinates to be influential in ecosystem carbon cycling.

HLA alleles, which are considered as protective factors against disease or predisposing factors, may be different in various populations and ethnic groups. Aims The purpose of this study is to examine the HLA-A, HLA-DR, and HLA-DQ alleles in patients that are diagnosed with PV in and around eastern of Turkey and to determine the alleles that create predisposition to disease or protect against the disease. Patients/Methods Thirty patients diagnosed as PV with clinical, histopathological, and immunofluorescence findings and 30 healthy subjects were included in this study. The HLA-A, HLA-DR, and HLA-DQ typology in the DNA samples that were obtained from the blood samples of the groups was performed by using the PCR-SSP low-resolution gene panels. Results The HLA-A*03 allele was found to be significantly higher in patient group than the control group (P-value: .020). HLA-DRB1*04 and HLA-DRB1*14 alleles in PV patients were found to be significantly higher than the control group (P-value = .000). Conclusion It was concluded that the HLA-DRB1*03, HLADQB1*02, and HLA-DQB1*06 alleles in and around eastern of Turkey showed protective effects against pemphigus vulgaris. It was also concluded that the HLA-A*03, HLA-DRB1*04, HLA-DRB1*14, HLA-DRB4, HLA-DQB1*03, and HLA-DQB1*05 alleles could cause predisposition to the disease.

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic relationships between the four most closely related species, at the population level. A multi-locus sequence typing strategy based on five markers was applied on 107 strains, confirming the clear delineation of species H. uvarum, H. opuntiae, H. guilliermondii, and H. pseudoguilliermondii. Huge variations were observed in the level of intraspecific nucleotide diversity, and differences in heterozygosity between species indicate different life styles. No clear population structure was detected based on geographical or substrate origins. Instead, H. guilliermondii strains clustered into two distinct groups, which may reflect a recent step toward speciation. Interspecific hybrids were detected between H. opuntiae and H. pseudoguilliermondii. Their characterization using flow cytometry, karyotypes and genome sequencing showed different genome structures in different ploidy contexts: allodiploids, allotriploids, and allotetraploids. Subculturing of an allotriploid strain revealed chromosome loss equivalent to one chromosome set, followed by an auto-diploidization event, whereas another auto-diploidized tetraploid showed a segmental duplication. Altogether, these results suggest that Hanseniaspora genomes are not only fast evolving but also highly dynamic.

These clades exhibit clear clustering among individuals in different ethnic groups and from different geographic regions. The human population of Brazil varies greatly in ethnicity because of multiple immigration events from Africa, Europe, Asia, and indigenous communities. However, there is scant information about the HHV-8 genotypes currently circulating in Brazil. Here, we describe HHV-8 genotypic diversity in isolates from Brazilian HIV-infected patients living with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) by analysis of the complete ORF-K1 region. We also identified the most likely geographic origins of these different Brazilian genotypes. We extracted HHV-8 DNA (24 positive samples) from individuals with HIV/KS from the states of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, amplified the ORF-K1 gene using nested PCR (about 870 base pairs), performed sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, and then calculated the mean genetic distances of Brazilian sequences from sequences in other regions of the world (523 sequences analyzed). Phylogenetic analysis showed that genotypes C, A, and B were present in 45.8 %, 29.2% and 25 % of the isolates from Brazil, respectively. These isolates grouped into separate clades, rather than a single monophyletic cluster. Mean genetic distance analyses suggested that these genotypes were introduced into the Brazil multiple times from different geographical regions. HHV-8/A isolates appear to be from Ukraine, Russia, and the Tartar ethnic group; HHV-8/B isolates appear to be from Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo; and HHV-8/C isolates appear to be from Australia, Algeria, England, and French Guiana. These results contribute to a better understanding of the genetic diversity and origins of HHV-8 strains circulating in Brazil, and will provide a foundation for further epidemiological and evolutionary studies of HHV-8.

However, the effect of introducing an exogenous strain, A. thiooxidans A01 on the structure and function of the adsorbed and planktonic microbial consortia during bioleaching of low-grade copper sulfide remains unclear. In this study, A. thiooxidans A01 was introduced into an indigenous leaching microbial community on the 0th (group B), 24th (group C), and 36th day (group D). Results revealed that the copper leaching efficiency was highest in group D, in which the Cu2+ concentration in the solution reached 251.5 mg/L on day 48, which was 18.5% higher than that of the control (group A, no addition of A. thiooxidans A01). Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the microbial community in group D revealed the presence of Leptospirillum ferriphilum, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus caldus, Sulfobacillus sp., Acidiphilium spp., and Acidithiobacillus albertensis before introduction of A. thiooxidans A01 on the 36th or 48th day; however, A. albertensis was absent on day 48 in group A. Further, the proportion of dominant A. caldus, L. ferriphilum, and A. ferrooxidans became altered. The results of real-time PCR in group D showed that A. thiooxidans A01 was primarily adsorbed on the surface of the ore, with the adsorption reaching the maxima on day 42; while the free A. thiooxidans A01 in solution grew slowly, reaching its maximum concentration on day 45. Compared with that in the control group, the abundance of both free and attached A. caldus and Sulfobacillus sp. decreased following the introduction of A. thiooxidans A01, while that of L ferriphilum, A. ferrooxidans, and Acidiphilium sp. increased. Functional gene arrays data indicated that the abundance of genes involved in sulfide and iron oxidation in L. ferriphilum and A. ferrooxidans, as well as that of the metal (loid) resistance genes of A. ferrooxidans, L. ferriphilum, and Acidiphilium sp. increased, while the abundance of genes involved in sulfur metabolism in A. caldus and Sulfolobus spp. decreased. Taken together, these results provide useful information for application of bioleaching of copper sulfide in industry.

In particular, the proportion of alien plant species is higher in urban areas. This is attributed to specific urban conditions, which provide a large variety of habitats due to high geological heterogeneity. It can also be attributed to the role of cities as centres for plant introductions and the consequential increased propagule pressure. Neophytes, alien plant species introduced after the discovery of the Americas, appear to contribute especially strongly to the increased proportion of alien plants in cities. To investigate whether the plant traits of neophytes can be explained by environmental variables, we modelled the composition of their pollination types and growth forms as well as their diaspore weight and the onset of flowering in response to a selection of climatic, geological, land cover and traffic network variables with data from Germany. To test for a specific urban effect, we included their interactions with the area of urban land use. In general, we found that climatic variables were the most important predictors for all traits. However, when considering interactions with urbanisation, non-climatic variables, which often were not significant as the main effect, remained in the final models. This points to an existing 'urban effect'. However, it is much smaller compared to the purely climatic effects. We conclude that interferences and alterations mainly related to urbanisation and human activity in general are responsible for the different ecological processes found in cities compared to rural areas. In addition, we argue that considering functional traits is an appropriate way to identify the ecological mechanisms related to urbanisation.

In addition, the current study examined whether the associations among these variables differed based on race or ethnicity. A sample of 829 justice-involved youth (74% boys, 45% participants of color) recruited from a detention center completed self-report measures of trauma exposure, CU, and gang involvement. A moderated mediation analysis indicated that CU helped explain the association between trauma exposure and gang involvement for non-Hispanic White participants only. In contrast, the direct association between trauma exposure and gang involvement was significant across racial or ethnic groups. These findings highlight the importance of a trauma-informed perspective on intervening and preventing gang involvement among youth.

The model is general and predicts how transition behaviours of extinction may accumulate according to a different combination of random drift, immigration rate, emigration rate and the degree of habitat destruction. We show that immigration, emigration, the areal size of the destroyed habitat and initial species abundance distribution (SAD) can impact the total biodiversity loss in an intact local area. Among these, the SAD plays the most deterministic role, as it directly determines the initial species richness in the local target area. By contrast, immigration was found to slow down total biodiversity loss and can drive the emergence of species credits (i.e. a gain of species) over time. However, the emigration process would increase the extinction risk of species and accelerate biodiversity loss. Finally but notably, we found that a shift in the emigration rate after a habitat destruction event may be a new mechanism to generate species credits.

One approach to reach this goal is to study how contaminants and warming cause changes in body stoichiometry as these may potentially cascade through food webs. Furthermore, though contaminants typically interact with warming, how rapid adaptation to higher temperatures affects these interactions is poorly studied. Here, we examined the effects of an important contaminant (ZnO nanoparticles, nZnO) and mild warming (4 degrees C) on body stoichiometry (C, N, P and their ratios) of an aquatic keystone species, the water flea Daphnia magna. To evaluate whether thermal evolution impacts the effects of nZnO at higher temperatures, we compared two sets of clones from a thermal selection experiment where Daphnia were kept in outdoor mesocosms at ambient or ambient +4 degrees C temperatures for 2 years. Exposure to nZnO decreased key body stoichiometric ratios (C:N, C:P and a trend for N:P) while warming increased the body C:N ratio. The stoichiometric changes to nZnO and warming were mostly independent and could be partly explained by changes in the macromolecules sugars and fat. Exposure to nZnO decreased C-rich sugars contributing to a reduced %C. Warming reduced body %C due to decreased C-rich sugars and fat levels, yet warming decreased body N% even more resulting in a higher C:N ratio. The stoichiometric responses to nZnO at the higher temperature did not differ between the two sets of clones, indicating experimental thermal evolution did not change the effects of nZnO under warming. Studying the stoichiometric responses to nZnO and warming of this keystone species may provide novel insights on the toxic effects of contaminants under warming. Moreover, understanding the influence of thermal evolution on the toxicity of contaminants is important for ecological risk assessment especially in a warming world.

Trunks were found in areas of white sand forests, locally known as Campinarana, in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The collections were extended from May to December 2009. The mean diameter of the trunks and their stage of decomposition were classified, and the species of Passalidae were classified according to the location of their galleries. We used multiple generalized models to investigate the relationship between abundance and permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) to investigate the relationships between predictors and passalid composition. A total of 361 passalids belonging to 13 species were collected from 11 tree species, of which Aldina heterophylla represented the highest proportion of logs (55%). Only the diameter of the trunk was related to the abundance of species, with trunks of larger diameters presented more individuals. The passalid composition was correlated with the diameter and decomposition of the trunks of all species of trees and only with the diameter of the trunks of A. heterophylla. Most of the species collected in Campinaranas construct their galleries in two or more regions of the trunk. The region that supported a greater number of colonies was the sapwood, followed by the inner bark and the soil-stem interface. The general habit of passalids found may be advantageous, probably to compensate for the low dispersion and isolation in areas with low availability of resources, such as Campinaranas forests in the Amazon.

TI The use of small-Unmanned Aerial Systems for high resolution analysis for intertidal wetland restoration schemes SO ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Managed realignment; Creeks; Intertidal morphology; Small-Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS); Structure-from-motion (SfM) ID SALT-MARSH; MANAGED REALIGNMENT; SEDIMENTATION RHYTHMS; SOUTHERN ENGLAND; FREISTON SHORE; HYDRODYNAMICS; ESTUARIES; LAND AB Coastal and estuarine wetlands provide a range of important ecosystem services, but are currently being damaged and degraded due to human activities, reduced sediment supply and sea level rise. Managed realignment (MR) is one approach used to compensate for the loss of intertidal habitat, however saltmarshes in MR sites have been recognised to have lower biodiversity than natural environments. This has been associated with differences in the physical functioning including the sediment structure, reduced hydraulic connectivity, and lower topographic variability such as the abundance of intertidal creek networks. Intertidal morphology, including creek networks, play an important role in supporting and regulating saltmarsh environments through the supply of sediment, nutrients and water, and in draining intertidal marshes. However, there is a lack of empirical data on the formation and evolution of topographic features and variability in saltmarsh environments. This is likely to be due to creek networks in natural marshes already being in a state of quasi-equilibrium, making MR sites an ideal environment to investigate creek development. However, traditional remote sensing techniques (such as LiDAR) tend to be relatively expensive, infrequent and at a coarse resolution meaning small, but important (cmscale), changes are often missed. This study advances the ability to detect these small scale changes by demonstrating the suitability and potential applications of using the emerging photogrammetric method Structurefrom-Motion (SfM) on images taken using a small-Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS). Three surveys from a rapidly changing, near-breach site were taken at the Medmerry Managed Realignment Site in July 2016, September 2017 and July 2018. A suitable degree of confidence was found between the modelled surface and independent check points (vertical root-mean-square-errors of 0.0245, 0.0704 and 0.1571 for 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively). DSMs of Difference (DoD) analysis was performed to evaluate elevation change, with areas experiencing up to 85 cm of accretion between 2016 and 2018. However, when considering the error associated with both surveys, between 2016 and 2017, only 34.39% of the survey area experienced change above the level of detection (LoD). In contrast, 76.97% experienced change greater than the LoD between 2017 and 2018. Stream order analysis classified the creek networks into five orders in 2016 and four orders in 2017 and 2018, with 2016 having a higher abundance (291 in 2016 compared to 117 (2017) and 112 (2018)) and density (0.44 m/m( )(2)in 2016 compared to 0.27 m/m(2) in both 2017 and 2018) of creek networks. These results provide an innovative high resolution insight into the evolution of restored intertidal wetlands, and suggest that SfM analysis of images taken using a sUAS can be a useful tool with the potential to be incorporated into studies of MR and natural saltmarsh sites. sUAS analysis can, therefore, advance the management of these environments to ensure the provision of ecosystem services and to protect against future anthropogenic activity, sea level rise and climate change.

However, knowledge about the role played by dominant species in the process of shaping their habitat within post-industrial ecosystems is still limited. We aimed to assess the impact of four dominant species (Calamagrostis epigejos, Daucus carota, Poa compressa and Tussilago farfara) on soil abiotic and biotic properties, and to detect differences in species and functional composition of the vegetation types studied. We hypothesized that (1) dominant species of higher mean biomass cause lower aboveground biodiversity and (2) dominant species of higher mean biomass have a higher impact than the others on soil properties. We measured soil chemistry (TOC, N, P, K, Na, Mg content, EC, pH and enzyme activities) as well as biomass, species diversity and functional diversity of vegetation on 15 study plots (28.3 m2) for each species studied. The DCA analysis revealed a clear distinction between the patches dominated by studied species. Vegetation patches dominated by Calamagrostis epigejos were correlated with amount of biomass, canopy height CWM and specific leaf CWM. Patches dominated by Daucus carota were related to the light requirements (EIV-L), Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and K content. The vegetation patches dominated by Poa compressa were related to dehydrogenase activity, higher Mg content and species richness of the vegetation patches. The highest TOC content was recorded for T. farfara substrates, and the lowest for C. epigejos substrates. The content of potassium does not differ statistically significantly in the substrates from sites dominated by D. carota and P. compressa. The highest values of Mg content were recorded for D. carota and were statistically different from Poa compressa sites, while the higher phosphorus content (statistically significantly different) was recorded for patches dominated by T. farfara and P. compressa. Despite our assumptions, the species with the highest mean biomass (Calamagrostis epigejos) did not cause lower species or functional diversity. In contrast, Tussilago farfara has the highest impact on postindustrial site habitats on coal mine heaps, as extreme values of four soil substratum parameters were recorded on these plots. This species also decreased both species and functional diversity of vegetation. The knowledge about relationship existing between plants (aboveground vegetation) and soil organisms seems important in order to undertake suitable reclamation measures and to restore variety of functions as well as to create diverse vegetation based on native species.

This paper presents the LCA of Living Wall Systems (LWS), a new technology for greening the building envelope and improve sustainability. Impacts of manufacture, operation, and use of the systems selected, were evaluated through an LCA. LWS are closely related to several environmental benefits, including improved air quality, increased biodiversity, mitigation of heat island effects, and reduced energy consumption due to savings in indoor cooling and heating. Two prototypes have been selected, taking into account the modularity and the use of organic substrate as selection criteria. The systems evaluated were a plastic-based modular system and a felt-based modular system. The inventory data was gathered through the manufacturers. The LCA approach has been used to assess the impact of these solutions by focusing on the construction phase and its contribution to both the energy balance and the entire life cycle of a building. This approach has never been done before for LWS. The study found that out of the two systems through the manufacturing, construction, and maintenance stage of the LCA, the felt-based LWS has an impact on almost 100% of the impact categories analyzed, while plastic-based LWS has the lowest influence on the total environmental impact.

Studies documenting the impacts of development are extensive; however, less is known about the scale at which species respond to development and specific features of altered landscapes that make them vulnerable. This shortcoming may be due to the difficulty of collecting data across large spatial extents, but filling these information gaps are critical, particularly for species that have a disproportionate influence on ecosystems, such as ecosystem engineers. One such species, the southeastern pocket gopher (Geomys pinetis), has been declining throughout its range (south-eastern United States) and continued loss will likely have strong effects on the imperiled longleaf pine ecosystem in which it is closely associated. Using range-wide data from presence-absence surveys and publicly available presence-only data, we used recent advances in species distribution modeling to understand this ecosystem engineer's associations with extensive land use and cover changes. Our study showed that pocket gophers inhabit a variety of land-use types, including regions with low levels of anthropogenic development, but are largely absent from intensely urbanized areas and closed-canopy forests. Conservation planning to reduce the spread of extensive development and forest management strategies to reduce closed-canopy systems will be instrumental in reducing the decline of the species and ultimately protection of the longleaf pine ecosystem. The approach used in this study will be increasingly beneficial for understanding species response to land-use change.

TI Natural disturbance and stand structure of old-growth northern white-cedar (Thuja occidentalis) forests, northern Maine, USA SO FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Dendrochronology; Gap dynamics; Growth releases; Primary forest; Stand dynamics; Thuja occidentalis ID COARSE WOODY DEBRIS; MIXEDWOOD STANDS; SILVICULTURE; LANDSCAPE; ESTABLISHMENT; CONSERVATION; BIODIVERSITY; VARIABILITY; DYNAMICS; HISTORY AB Natural disturbance histories and stand structures derived from old-growth forests are increasingly used to guide forest management prescriptions. Although such information is readily available for a number of forest types, it is lacking for others, such as northern white-cedar (Thuja occidentalis) forests, despite this forest type's wide distribution, ecological value, and economic importance in northeastern North America. We applied standard dendrochronological methods to six old-growth northern white-cedar stands within the Big Reed Forest Reserve of northern Maine, USA, to reconstruct the frequency and severity of past natural disturbances. The prevalence of internal decay (well-known for this species) precluded the construction of robust age-class distributions. Overall, 63% of cedar trees contained internal decay, and the probability of rot increased with increasing diameter. Evidence from growth releases reveals sporadic pulses of low- to moderate-severity canopy disturbances. The mean disturbance rate was 6.4% of canopy area disturbed per decade, and pulses rarely exceeded 25% per decade. Based on the subset of complete cores (i.e., those without internal decay), 44% of current canopy trees showed one growth release before achieving canopy status, 26% showed two releases, and 7% showed three releases. Of the 23% that showed no release, most showed persistent slow growth that eventually placed them in the canopy. However, an apparent hiatus in cedar recruitment in recent decades (albeit based on a subset of complete cores), as well as low cedar abundance in the sapling layer, suggest that cedar may not maintain dominance in the future overstory. Current structure in these stands is similar to that reported from other old-growth conifer forests in the region: mean living tree basal area was 44.3 m(2) ha(-1), density of large (> 40 cm dbh) living trees was 130 trees ha(-1), and coarse woody debris volume was 183 m(3) ha(-1). Taken together, these findings suggest that multi-aged silvicultural treatments incorporating periodic harvests of low to moderate intensity, retention trees or patches, and protection of coarse woody debris would be appropriate for sustaining or restoring lowland northern white-cedar forests.

Although numerous exclosure experiments have demonstrated negative impacts of deer on songbirds at small spatial scales, the effects of deer on avian communities at large spatial and temporal scales remains poorly understood. We integrated data from the Breeding Bird Survey with historic information on deer abundance in a multi-species hierarchical model to assess spatio-temporal relationships between deer and bird abundances across the state of Pennsylvania between 1981 and 2015. Our results provide evidence of strong links between deer and both avian functional groups and individual species, depending upon the extent each relied upon particular forest strata. Specifically, species that forage or nest near the ground were more negatively affected by deer than canopy-associated species. Likewise, mature-forest species were more sensitive to deer than successional-forest species or habitat generalists. With only a few exceptions, species-level responses to deer were consistent with group-level effects. Given the diverse suite of spatio-temporal stressors impacting migratory songbirds throughout their annual cycle, it was not surprising that long-term population trends of focal species were not significantly associated with deer abundance. Our findings, however, provide evidence that deer play an important role in songbird community structure, as mediated by the reliance of individual species upon particular forest strata and, as such, should be considered within the context of forest bird conservation.

Forest structure is an important factor in determining the distribution of woody species in forests, for example because it affects light conditions within forest stands. Remotely sensed data from light detection and ranging (LiDAR) can capture this three-dimensional structure of forests, leading to the expectation that LiDAR-derived data should enhance the predictive performance of SDMs. We test if and how LiDAR-derived data increases the predictive performance of SDMs for light-demanding and shade-tolerant shrub and tree species in Swiss forests. Our analyses suggest that LiDAR-derived data generally increases predictive performance of models. However, the response to including LiDAR-derived data varies depending on plant functional type: the increase in predictive performance is largest for light-demanding shrubs, reduced for light-demanding trees, and is lost for shade-tolerant species. We further find that shade-tolerant and light-demanding species show opposing responses along the LiDAR-derived predictors. Our results suggest that LiDAR-derived data indeed capture some aspects of light availability in forests, and that including LiDAR-derived predictors in SDMs should be considered for light-demanding shrubs, but may be of less use for trees (especially if shade-tolerant). We conclude that improving SDMs and resulting maps by including LiDAR-derived predictors potentially helps to ameliorate multifunctional, biodiversity-friendly forest stand management.

Generating information about species with high invasive potential is necessary to inform management decisions aiming to prevent their arrival and spread. Grateloupia turuturu, one of the most harmful invasive macroalgae, is capable of damaging ecosystem functions and services, and causing biodiversity loss. Here we developed an ecological niche model using occurrence and environmental data to infer the potential global distribution of G. turuturu. In addition, ecophysiological experiments were performed with G. turuturu populations from different climatic regions to test predictions regarding invasion risk. Our model results show high suitability in temperate and warm temperate regions around the world, with special highlight to some areas where this species still doesn't occur. Thalli representing a potential temperate region origin, were held at 10, 13, 16, 20 and 24 degrees C, and measurements of optimal quantum field (Fv/Fm) demonstrated a decrease of photosynthetic yield in the higher temperature. Thalli from the population already established in warm temperate South Atlantic were held at 18, 24 and 30 degrees C with high and low nutrient conditions. This material exposed to the higher temperature demonstrated a drop in photosynthetic yield and significant reduction of growth rate. The congregation of modelling and physiological approach corroborate the invasive potential of G. turuturu and indicate higher invasion risk in temperate zones. Further discussions regarding management initiatives must be fostered to mitigate anthropogenic transport and eventually promote eradication initiatives in source areas, with special focus in the South America. We propose that this combined approach can be used to assess the potential distribution and establishment of other marine invasive species. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

As the global biodiversity crisis deepens, successful conservation efforts will hinge on developing mechanistic multiple stressor frameworks that have been ground-truthed in natural systems containing complex species dynamics and ecological processes. Our study examined the combined and interacting effects of potential climate and land use stressors on boreal stream fishes using data from over 300 catchments across a broad 250,000 km(2) region. To characterize boreal fish community health, we examined four indicators including species richness, total catch per unit effort, the proportion of lithophilic spawners (fish sensitive to sedimentation), and the assemblage tolerance index which provides a measurement of the overall community tolerance to disturbance. Land use stressors included total anthropogenic land use area and linear disturbance at multiple watershed scales as well as two site-specific habitat degradation indicators (dissolved oxygen and the proportion of fine substrate). Overall community richness and productivity were not negatively related to land use changes indicating potential compensatory dynamics (e.g. where intolerant species are replaced with more tolerant species as habitat quality degrades). In contrast, we observed declines for sensitive species, including highly valued salmonids, that varied depending on interactions between local climate, land use, and stream type. Sensitive species declines were concentrated in regions experiencing increased land use and warming, whereas increases were observed in cooler regions consistent with a subsidy-stress response. In addition, lithophilic spawners declined in watersheds experiencing warmer and wetter conditions owing to potential indirect effects on spawning habitat quality. Results from our study provide novel insight into complex climate and land use interactions occurring across a broad, real-world landscape, and highlight the potential for amplified species declines under future warming and land use scenarios.

The aim of this study was to determine the intestinal microflora of the juvenile Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis with different feeding modes. We investigated the bacterial communities of crab intestine resulting from three different feeding modes using high-throughput sequencing technology, including traditional, formulated, and mixture (combined traditional and formulated) diet feeding modes. Intestinal microbiota biodiversity and richness were not affected by the different feeding modes. The most dominant community members at the phylum level were Tenericutes, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria. Significant differences were only observed in the relative abundance of Tenericutes (P = 0.0390) and Proteobacteria (P = 0.0273) in the female crab intestines among different feeding modes. The seven most abundant genera in the intestine of male and female crabs included Candidatus Bacilloplasma, Candidatus Hepatoplasma, Prolixibacter, Vibrio, Dysgonomonas, Coprobacillus, and Lactovum. Moreover, high average similarity of the microbial community was observed in the intestine of male and female crabs among the three different feeding modes and also between male and female crabs within these feeding modes. The most abundant genera in the latter ( > 10%) were Candidatus Bacilloplasma, Candidatus Hepatoplasma, and Prolixibacter. In addition, unique microbial genera were found in male or female crab intestine among different feeding modes. Differences were also observed in the relative enrichment of the dominant bacteria in male and female crab intestine among different feeding modes. Nevertheless, these findings suggested that the microbial communities in the intestines of crabs showed overall high average similarity among the three feeding modes or between the sexes as reflected by the biodiversity, richness of intestinal microbiota, and the most dominant community members at the phylum and genera levels. The results of this study provide a theoretical reference regarding the diversity of intestinal bacteria in juvenile E. sinensis.

TI Litter Inputs, but Not Litter Diversity, Maintain Soil Processes in Degraded Tropical Forests-A Cross-Continental Comparison SO FRONTIERS IN FORESTS AND GLOBAL CHANGE LA English DT Article DE litter decomposition; litter traits; soil microbial biomass; soil respiration; plant-soil interactions; secondary tropical forest; land-use change; forest conversion ID OIL PALM PLANTATIONS; LAND-USE; ORGANIC-CARBON; ARTHROPOD COMMUNITY; NUTRIENT LIMITATION; MICROBIAL BIOMASS; PLANT DIVERSITY; LEAF-LITTER; RAIN-FOREST; CO2 EFFLUX AB Land-use change in tropical forests can reduce biodiversity and ecosystem carbon (C) storage, but although changes in aboveground biomass C in human-modified tropical forests are well-documented, patterns in the dynamics and storage of C belowground are less well characterised. To address this, we used a reciprocal litter transplant experiment to assess litter decomposition and soil respiration under distinct litter types in forested or converted habitats in Panama, Central America, and in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. The converted habitats comprised a large clearing on the Panama Canal and oil palm plantation in Borneo; forested habitats comprised a 60-year old secondary forest in Panama and a disturbed forest in Borneo that was selectively logged until 2008. In each habitat, we installed mesocosms and litterbags with litter collected from old-growth forest, secondary forest or an introduced species: Elaeis guineensis in Borneo and Saccharum spontaneum in Panama. We measured litter mass loss, soil respiration, and soil microbial biomass during nine months at each site. Decomposition differed markedly between habitat types and between forest vs. introduced litter, but the decay rates and properties of old-growth and secondary forest litters in the forest habitats were remarkably similar, even across continents. Slower decomposition of all litter types in the converted habitats was largely explained by microclimate, but the faster decay of introduced litter was linked to lower lignin content compared to the forest litter. Despite marked differences in litter properties and decomposition, there was no effect of litter type on soil respiration or microbial biomass. However, regardless of location, litter type, and differences in soil characteristics, we measured a similar decline in microbial activity and biomass in the absence of litter inputs. Interestingly, whereas microbial biomass and soil respiration increased substantially in response to litter inputs in the forested habitats and the converted habitat in Panama, there was little or no corresponding increase in the converted habitat in Borneo, indicating that soil recovery capacity had declined substantially in oil palm plantations. Overall, our results suggest that litter inputs are essential to preserve key soil processes, but litter diversity may be less important, especially in highly disturbed habitats.

To obtain the data, we applied the sampling protocol COBRA (Conservation Oriented Biodiversity Rapid Assessment), in twelve 50 m x 50 m native forest plots and five dry habitat plots on the island of Madeiraand in 5 dry habitat plots on the island of Porto Santo. Through this publication, we contribute to the knowledge of the arachnofauna of the Madeiran archipelago. New information From the samples that we collected, we obtained a total of 14,902 specimens, of which 49% were adults (7,263). We identified these specimens to 87 species and 18 morphospecies (undescribed), belonging to 26 families. Species of the family Linyphiidae dominated the samples, with 24 (morpho)species. Out of the 105 recorded (morpho)species, 34 were endemic, 26 native non-endemic, 22 introduced and 23 species of unknown origin. We report seven new records of possibly recently introduced species in the Madeiran archipelago. We also present 21 new records for Madeira island and 32 for Porto Santo (33 for the whole archipelago).

However, the exceptional detection of abundant populations of G. partita in sunlight-exposed soil raises the possibility that exogenous organic carbon sources protect cells from photo-oxidative damage. The present study aimed to identify the photoprotective process activated by exogenous glucose under photo-oxidative stress. We demonstrated that exogenous glucose mitigated the photo-oxidative damage of cells exposed to 300 mu mol photons m(-2) s(-1) photosynthetic active radiation. Photosynthesis carbon assimilation scarcely contributed to the cell growth in the presence of glucose, but the photosynthetic apparatus was nevertheless maintained and protected by glucose in a concentration-dependent manner. Supplementation of glucose increased expression of the L-gulonolactone oxidase gene essential for ascorbic acid biosynthesis, whereas no enhanced expression of the genes involved in carotenoid or tocopherol biosynthesis was observed. Under the photo-oxidative stress condition, the ascorbic acid content was strongly enhanced by exogenous glucose. We propose that the biosynthesis of ascorbic acid is one of the major photoprotective processes induced by exogenous glucose. The elucidation of how ascorbic acid is involved in scavenging reactive oxygen species provides key insights into the photoprotective mechanism in red algae.

TI Biotic and anthropogenic forces rival climatic/abiotic factors in determining global plant population growth and fitness SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE population growth rate; climate change; environmental driver; species interactions; anthropogenic impacts ID METAANALYSIS; SELECTION; EVOLUTION; NICHE AB Multiple, simultaneous environmental changes, in climatic/abiotic factors, interacting species, and direct human influences, are impacting natural populations and thus biodiversity, ecosystem services, and evolutionary trajectories. Determining whether the magnitudes of the population impacts of abiotic, biotic, and anthropogenic drivers differ, accounting for their direct effects and effects mediated through other drivers, would allow us to better predict population fates and design mitigation strategies. We compiled 644 paired values of the population growth rate (A) from high and low levels of an identified driver from demographic studies of terrestrial plants. Among abiotic drivers, natural disturbance (not climate), and among biotic drivers, interactions with neighboring plants had the strongest effects on A. However, when drivers were combined into the 3 main types, their average effects on A did not differ. For the subset of studies that measured both the average and variability of the driver, A was marginally more sensitive to 1 SD of change in abiotic drivers relative to biotic drivers, but sensitivity to biotic drivers was still substantial. Similar impact magnitudes for abiotic/biotic/anthropogenic drivers hold for plants of different growth forms, for different latitudinal zones, and for biomes characterized by harsher or milder abiotic conditions, suggesting that all 3 drivers have equivalent impacts across a variety of contexts. Thus, the best available information about the integrated effects of drivers on all demographic rates provides no justification for ignoring drivers of any of these 3 types when projecting ecological and evolutionary responses of populations and of biodiversity to environmental changes.

Yet, diatom assemblages from northern regions like Iceland remain understudied, especially those from the volcanic rock outcrops and boulders that create euaerial habitats where biota receive moisture from the atmosphere or the rock itself. During the summers of 2013 and 2015, we examined the biodiversity of mostly euaerial, but also pseudoaerial, diatom assemblages collected from volcanic rock outcrops or large boulders on the landscape from southwestern Iceland. We used light and scanning electron microscopy to document the biodiversity of common, smaller, new, or interesting specimens, such as Humidophila and Eunotia. We describe one new Humidophila species, H. eldfjallii sp. nov., with triundulate valve margins and include information on another unidentified taxon, Humidophila sp. 1, naviculoid in shape with tapering to rounded ends, continuous striae through the length of the valve, and a circular central area. We formally transfer Diadesmis contenta var. biceps to Humidophila biceps. To correct the nomenclature, we recognized Humidophila parallela at the species level. Relative abundance estimates of diatom populations provided further characterization of the assemblages on these habitats. Humidophila taxa, especially H. gallica dominated the diverse diatom flora. We discuss adaptations for survival with access to mostly atmospheric water. The diatom flora described here adds to the flora for this region, highlights the diversity of diatom assemblages that can inhabit euaerial environments, and provides evidence of adaptive success of diatoms in extreme habitats with limited moisture and nutrients.

Results from the ACLIM project are being used to understand how different regional fisheries management approaches can help promote adaptation to climate-driven changes to sustain fish and shellfish populations and to inform managers and fishery dependent communities of the risks associated with different future climate scenarios. The project relies on iterative communications and outreaches with managers and fishery-dependent communities that have informed the selection of fishing scenarios. This iterative approach ensures that the research team focuses on policy relevant scenarios that explore realistic adaptation options for managers and communities. Within each iterative cycle, the interdisciplinary research team continues to improve: methods for downscaling climate models, climate-enhanced biological models, socio-economic modeling, and management strategy evaluation (MSE) within a common analytical framework. The evolving nature of the ACLIM framework ensures improved understanding of system responses and feedbacks are considered within the projections and that the fishing scenarios continue to reflect the management objectives of the regional fisheries management bodies. The multi-model approach used for projection of biological responses, facilitates the quantification of the relative contributions of climate forcing scenario, fishing scenario, parameter, and structural uncertainty with and between models. Ensemble means and variance within and between models inform risk assessments under different future scenarios. The first phase of projections of climate conditions to the end of the 21st century is complete, including projections of catch for core species under baseline (status quo) fishing conditions and two alternative fishing scenarios are discussed. The ACLIM modeling framework serves as a guide for multidisciplinary integrated climate impact and adaptation decision making in other large marine ecosystems.

TI Drivers of long-term invertebrate community stability in changing Swedish lakes SO GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY LA English DT Article; Early Access DE aquatic invertebrates; heterogeneous residuals; lakes; landscape ecology; spatial ecology; stability; time series ID BETA DIVERSITY; ECOSYSTEM STABILITY; SPECIES RICHNESS; WATER CHEMISTRY; SPATIAL REGIMES; PUTTING THINGS; BOREAL LAKES; BIODIVERSITY; PATTERNS; SCALE AB Research on ecosystem stability has had a strong focus on local systems. However, environmental change often occurs slowly at broad spatial scales, which requires regional-level assessments of long-term stability. In this study, we assess the stability of macroinvertebrate communities across 105 lakes in the Swedish "lakescape." Using a hierarchical mixed-model approach, we first evaluate the environmental pressures affecting invertebrate communities in two ecoregions (north, south) using a 23 year time series (1995-2017) and then examine how a set of environmental and physical variables affect the stability of these communities. Results show that lake latitude, size, total phosphorus and alkalinity affect community composition in northern and southern lakes. We find that lake stability is affected by species richness and lake size in both ecoregions and alkalinity and total phosphorus in northern lakes. There is large heterogeneity in the patterns of community stability of individual lakes, but relationships between that stability and environmental drivers begin to emerge when the lakescape, composed of many discrete lakes, is the focal unit of study. The results of this study highlight that broad-scale comparisons in combination with long time series are essential to understand the effects of environmental change on the stability of lake communities in space and time.

TI Genomic and phenomic analysis of island ant community assembly SO MOLECULAR ECOLOGY LA English DT Article; Early Access DE ants; endemic; island biogeography; Pheidole; radiation; taxon cycle ID POPULATION-GENETICS; CIRCUIT-THEORY; TAXON CYCLE; EVOLUTION; MODEL; DIVERSIFICATION; TOOL; DISPERSAL; PACIFIC; ECOLOGY AB Island biodiversity has long fascinated biologists as it typically presents tractable systems for unpicking the eco-evolutionary processes driving community assembly. In general, two recurring themes are of central theoretical interest. First, immigration, diversification, and extinction typically depend on island geographical properties (e.g., area, isolation, and age). Second, predictable ecological and evolutionary trajectories readily occur after colonization, such as the evolution of adaptive trait syndromes, trends toward specialization, adaptive radiation, and eventual ecological decline. Hypotheses such as the taxon cycle draw on several of these themes to posit particular constraints on colonization and subsequent eco-evolutionary dynamics. However, it has been challenging to examine these integrated dynamics with traditional methods. Here, we combine phylogenomics, population genomics and phenomics, to unravel community assembly dynamics among Pheidole (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) ants in the isolated Fijian archipelago. We uphold basic island biogeographic predictions that isolated islands accumulate diversity primarily through in situ evolution rather than dispersal, and population genomic support for taxon cycle predictions that endemic species have decreased dispersal ability and demography relative to regionally widespread taxa. However, rather than trending toward island syndromes, ecomorphological diversification in Fiji was intense, filling much of the genus-level global morphospace. Furthermore, while most endemic species exhibit demographic decline and reduced dispersal, we show that the archipelago is not an evolutionary dead-end. Rather, several endemic species show signatures of population and range expansion, including a successful colonization to the Cook islands. These results shed light on the processes shaping island biotas and refine our understanding of island biogeographic theory.

Location Upper Parana River Floodplain, Brazil and Southeast China. Methods We sampled aquatic macrophytes patches in Brazil (native range) and China (introduced range) along a biomass gradient of E. crassipes. For each patch, we obtained values of species richness and aquatic macrophytes percentage cover, as response variables in regression models. We also used species accumulation curves to quantify the total plot diversity in dominated and non-dominated plots for both countries. Finally, we compared the influence of E. crassipes dominance on community composition and beta diversity with Permanova and Permdisp, respectively. Results The regression analyses revealed a negative correlation between macrophyte richness and cover and E. crassipes biomass only in the introduced range. The cumulative number of species decreased at a higher extent in plots dominated by E. crassipes in China, compared with Brazil. Also, species composition changed and beta diversity decreased in the dominated plots in China, but not in Brazil. Main Conclusions The reduction of all diversity attributes related to E. crassipes probably results from its engineer species role, which decreases littoral region habitat heterogeneity and affects rare species in the introduced range. Differences between countries may be associated with impacts of water hyacinth on native macrophytes as this plant grows very fast and is highly competitive. Although less probable, biotic resistance at the establishment phase of water hyacinth in sites with higher number of native species is also a possibility. Regardless of the main mechanism explaining our patterns, it is suggested that invasion by water hyacinth is a cause for concern for its higher impacts in the introduced ranges than the native ranges.

TI Habitat fragmentation and eradication of invading insect herbivores SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED ECOLOGY LA English DT Article; Early Access DE eradication; extinction; host removal; invasion; Lymantria dispar; pesticide; simulation; swath width ID EXTINCTION THRESHOLDS; GYPSY-MOTH; ALLEE; POPULATIONS; DYNAMICS; DISPERSAL AB Invasions by non-native pests and diseases represent serious threats to biodiversity, agriculture and human health. Under current border arrival rates associated with international trade not all such invasions can be prevented, so early detection and eradication (forced extinction) are important strategies for preventing establishment and long-term impacts. Removal of host plants has historically been a common tool used alone and in concert with other tools for eradication of plant pests but there is little scientific theory specific to the management of invasive species to guide the application of this eradication strategy. We drew upon extensive conservation biology literature documenting the effect of habitat destruction or fragmentation driving extinction. We applied a previously developed spatially explicit model of gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, spatial dynamics to explore how fragmentation affects population persistence. This model accounts for a component Allee effect driven by mate-finding failure that interacts with dispersal. We observed a nonlinear dependency of population persistence on the fraction of habitat cover and the level of habitat fragmentation. Simulation of active habitat fragmentation via the removal of habitat in swaths of varying widths or the application of pesticide in varying swaths showed that removal of hosts or pesticide application in narrow swaths (i.e. 40 m wide) caused the greatest probabilities of extinction. Generally, habitat removal was more effective than one-off pesticide treatments at causing extinction. Synthesis and applications. Spatially explicit modelling of Allee dynamics in invading gypsy moth populations showed that host removal can be an effective method to eradicate invasive plant-feeding insects especially when habitat fragmentation is applied at a desirable level. Furthermore, this can be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, pesticide treatments, to provide more options for carrying out eradications and to increase the probability of eradication success.

We apply eDNA metabarcoding to detecting the mammalian community in two high-biodiversity regions of Brazil: the Amazon and Atlantic Forests. We identified Critically Endangered and Endangered mammalian species and found overlap with species identified via camera trapping. We highlight the potential for using eDNA monitoring for mammals in biodiverse regions and identify challenges: we need a better understanding of the ecology of eDNA within variable environments and more appropriate reference sequences for species identification in these anthropogenically impacted biomes.

TI A protocol for online documentation of spider biodiversity inventories applied to a Mexican tropical wet forest (Araneae, Araneomorphae) SO ZOOTAXA LA English DT Article DE Arachnida; COBRA-TF; Faunistics; Neotropics; Taxonomy ID SPECIES RICHNESS; TAXONOMIC REVISION; STRUCTURED INVENTORY; CLADISTIC-ANALYSIS; AMPHIDRAUS SIMON; RAIN-FOREST; GENUS; DIVERSITY; GENERA; SALTICIDAE AB Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views. Their main contributions are the dissemination of phenotypic data for species difficult to identify or new with the assignment of species codes, allowing species comparisons between areas regardless of their taxonomic status. The present paper describes a protocol to produce these websites almost automatically. This protocol was successfully applied to 237 species from a tropical primary forest in Mexico. The time and infrastructure required for the documentation of these species are discussed. Taxonomic information in terms of identification challenges, possible new species, and potential nomenclatural issues is described. In addition, the conventional community parameters (e. g., inventory completeness, species richness estimations, sampling intensity) are also calculated and compared through time and between methods. An optimized version for sampling allocation effort per season is presented and compared with protocols optimized for other tropical forests.

Retention of habitat trees and deadwood has since become common practice also in continuous-cover forests of Central Europe. While the use of retention in these forests is plausible, the evidence base for its application is lacking, trade-offs have not been quantified, it is not clear what support it receives from forest owners and other stakeholders and how it is best integrated into forest management practices. The Research Training Group ConFoBi (Conservation of Forest Biodiversity in Multiple-use Landscapes of Central Europe) focusses on the effectiveness of retention forestry, combining ecological studies on forest biodiversity with social and economic studies of biodiversity conservation across multiple spatial scales. The aim of ConFoBi is to assess whether and how structural retention measures are appropriate for the conservation of forest biodiversity in uneven-aged and selectively harvested continuous-cover forests of temperate Europe. The study design is based on a pool of 135 plots (1 ha) distributed along gradients of forest connectivity and structure. The main objectives are (a) to investigate the effects of structural elements and landscape context on multiple taxa, including different trophic and functional groups, to evaluate the effectiveness of retention practices for biodiversity conservation; (b) to analyze how forest biodiversity conservation is perceived and practiced, and what costs and benefits it creates; and (c) to identify how biodiversity conservation can be effectively integrated in multi-functional forest management. ConFoBi will quantify retention levels required across the landscape, as well as the socio-economic prerequisites for their implementation by forest owners and managers. ConFoBi's research results will provide an evidence base for integrating biodiversity conservation into forest management in temperate forests.

However, data on the cutaneous microbiome of these patients are scarce. This study compared the fungal and bacterial components of the skin microbiome between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and healthy individuals. We obtained skin swab samples from the plantar forefoot of 17 patients with DM and 18 healthy individuals to conduct a cross-sectional study. The samples were profiled with culture-independent sequencing of the V3 to V4 regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene and the fungal ITS2 region, followed by direct DNA extraction and molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We observed a differential cutaneous microbiome, especially for fungi, in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to that in healthy controls. Trichophyton rubrum was more abundant in DM samples. The Shannon diversity index for fungi was lower in the DM patients. Principal coordinate analysis plots and permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) tests based on Bray-Curtis distances between samples supported the association of the fungal microbiome with DM at the species level. The results suggest that clinicians should pay attention to both fungi and bacteria and provide appropriate prevention and therapeutic strategies for diabetic cutaneous complications including diabetic foot ulcers. These data also contribute to future research associated with diabetes and cutaneous microbiomes.

Yet, controversy surrounds the importance of this finding for natural systems where species loss is non-random. We compiled data from 16 multi-year experiments located at a single native tallgrass prairie site. These experiments included responses to 11 anthropogenic environmental changes, as well as non-random biodiversity loss either the removal of uncommon/rare plant species or the most common (dominant) species. As predicted by the mass ratio hypothesis, loss of a dominant species had large impacts on productivity that were comparable to other anthropogenic drivers. In contrast, the loss of uncommon/rare species had small effects on productivity despite having the largest effects on species richness. The anthropogenic drivers that had the largest effects on productivity nitrogen, irrigation, and fire experienced not only loss of species but also significant changes in the abundance and identity of dominant species. Synthesis. These results suggest that mass ratio effects, rather than species loss per se, are an important determinant of ecosystem function with environmental change.

Mental modelling can harness the wisdom of a crowd of stakeholders. Sustainable management of natural resources requires adequate scientific knowledge about complex relationships between human and natural systems. Such understanding is difficult to achieve in many contexts due to data scarcity and knowledge limitations. We explore the potential of harnessing the collective intelligence of resource stakeholders to overcome this challenge. Using a fisheries example, we show that by aggregating the system knowledge held by stakeholders through graphical mental models, a crowd of diverse resource users produces a system model of social-ecological relationships that is comparable to the best scientific understanding. We show that the averaged model from a crowd of diverse resource users outperforms those of more homogeneous groups. Importantly, however, we find that the averaged model from a larger sample of individuals can perform worse than one constructed from a smaller sample. However, when averaging mental models within stakeholder-specific subgroups and subsequently aggregating across subgroup models, the effect is reversed. Our work identifies an inexpensive, yet robust way to develop scientific understanding of complex social-ecological systems by leveraging the collective wisdom of non-scientist stakeholders.

Most evidence for positive effects of plant diversity comes from grasslands. Despite the fact that forests are hotspots of biodiversity, the importance of tree diversity, in particular its relative importance compared to other management related factors, in affecting forest-associated taxa is not well known. To address this, we used data from 183 plots, located in different forest types, from Mediterranean to Boreal, and established along a climatic gradient across six European countries (FunDivEUROPE project). We tested the influence of tree diversity, tree functional composition (i.e. functional trait values), forest structure, climate and soil on the diversity and abundance/activity of nine taxa (bats, birds, spiders, microorganisms, earthworms, ungulates, foliar fungal pathogens, defoliating insects and understorey plants) and on their overall diversity and abundance/activity (multidiversity, multiabundance/activity). Tree diversity was a key driver of taxon-level and overall forest-associated biodiversity, along with tree functional composition, forest structure, climate and soil. Both tree species richness and functional diversity (variation in functional trait values) were important. The effects of tree diversity on the abundance/activity of forest-associated taxa were less consistent. Nonetheless, spiders, ungulates and foliar fungal pathogens were all more abundant/active in diverse forests. Tree functional composition and structure were also important drivers of abundance/activity: conifer stands had lower overall multidiversity (although the effect was driven by defoliating insects), while stands with potentially tall trees had lower overall multiabundance/activity. We found more synergies than tradeoffs between diversity and abundance/activity of different taxa, suggesting that forest management can promote high diversity across taxa. Our results clearly show the high value of mixed forest stands for multiple forest-associated taxa and indicate that multiple dimensions of tree diversity (taxonomic and functional) are important.

TI Invasive non-native species likely to threaten biodiversity and ecosystems in the Antarctic Peninsula region SO GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY LA English DT Article; Early Access DE biodiversity; horizon scanning; non-native; pathways; Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty; risk assessment ID POA-ANNUA L.; CLIMATE-CHANGE; BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS; ERETMOPTERA-MURPHYI; TERRESTRIAL; DISPERSAL; ERADICATION; MANAGEMENT; IMPACTS; PLANTS AB The Antarctic is considered to be a pristine environment relative to other regions of the Earth, but it is increasingly vulnerable to invasions by marine, freshwater and terrestrial non-native species. The Antarctic Peninsula region (APR), which encompasses the Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands and South Orkney Islands, is by far the most invaded part of the Antarctica continent. The risk of introduction of invasive non-native species to the APR is likely to increase with predicted increases in the intensity, diversity and distribution of human activities. Parties that are signatories to the Antarctic Treaty have called for regional assessments of non-native species risk. In response, taxonomic and Antarctic experts undertook a horizon scanning exercise using expert opinion and consensus approaches to identify the species that are likely to present the highest risk to biodiversity and ecosystems within the APR over the next 10 years. One hundred and three species, currently absent in the APR, were identified as relevant for review, with 13 species identified as presenting a high risk of invading the APR. Marine invertebrates dominated the list of highest risk species, with flowering plants and terrestrial invertebrates also represented; however, vertebrate species were thought unlikely to establish in the APR within the 10 year timeframe. We recommend (a) the further development and application of biosecurity measures by all stakeholders active in the APR, including surveillance for species such as those identified during this horizon scanning exercise, and (b) use of this methodology across the other regions of Antarctica. Without the application of appropriate biosecurity measures, rates of introductions and invasions within the APR are likely to increase, resulting in negative consequences for the biodiversity of the whole continent, as introduced species establish and spread further due to climate change and increasing human activity.

This paper provides new insights into the nature and impact of familiness as a mediating device, uncovering the potential for reframing resilience theory and practice. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on a review of the extant literature in the areas of resilience and familiness as a means of developing a deeper understanding of the social-ecological system of the family firm. Findings The study reveals family business as a complex interrelationship between complimentary social-ecological systems. It highlights the complexity of family business and the challenges of the relational nature of familiness and how this presents additional layers of complexity in the decision making process and implementation. Research limitations/implications - The paper draws on literature that is dominated by western culture and may partially or not at all reflect the issues associated with organisational resilience in family firms with such backgrounds and their culturally bound social-ecological systems. Originality/value The paper seeks to fill a knowledge gap by exploring the key elements of organisational resilience in the context of familiness. The work calls for further research into the nature of familiness connections mediating the nature of family relational dynamics. It further provides a framework indicating how these elements can shape and subvert day-to-day management events, raising implications for theory and practice and calls for deeper empirical research to be undertaken.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of women with GDM who received pharmacotherapy during pregnancy, in addition to diet and exercise, between 2015 and 2019 in a university center. The primary outcome was percent of elevated capillary blood glucoses (CBGs) prior to pharmacotherapy initiation. This was compared between four maternal racial and ethnic groups: non-Hispanic white (NHW), non-Hispanic black (NHB), Hispanic and other race and ethnicity group that included Asian, American Indian and Alaskan Native. Univariable and multivariable analyses were done to estimate whether there was an independent association between maternal race and ethnicity and the percent of elevated CBGs prior to pharmacotherapy initiation. Results: A total of 440 women met inclusion criteria. In univariable analysis, NHB women, Hispanic, and women of other race and ethnicity had higher percent of elevated CBGs prior to pharmacotherapy initiation, compared to NHW women (45.5 +/- 22.5% for NHW, 65.2 +/- 25.4% for NHB, 58.3 +/- 21.7% for Hispanic and 51.6 +/- 26.8% for other race and ethnicity, respectively, p < .001). After the adjustment for maternal demographic and clinical factors, maternal race and ethnicity remained to be significantly associated with timing of pharmacotherapy initiation, with women of racial and ethnic minority having a higher percent of elevated CBGs prior to pharmacotherapy initiation (adjusted linear regression coefficient 18.1, 95% CI 11.3-25.0 for NHB, adjusted linear regression coefficient 13.2, 95% CI 5.0-21.4 for Hispanic, and adjusted linear regression coefficient 9.8, 95% CI 2.6-16.9 for women of other race and ethnicity). Conclusion: A significant variation was identified in glycemic threshold for pharmacotherapy initiation in women with GDM across different maternal racial and ethnic groups with minority women starting pharmacotherapy at higher percent of elevated CBGs.

Forest management necessarily modifies the buffering capacity of woodlands. However, the specific effects of different forestry treatments on site conditions, the temporal recovery after the harvests, and the reason for the contrasts between treatments are still poorly understood. The effects of four different forestry treatments (clear-cutting, retention tree group, preparation cutting, and gap-cutting) on microclimatic variables were studied within a field experiment in a managed oak-dominated stand in Hungary, before (2014) and after (2015-2017) the interventions by complete block design with six replicates. From the first post-treatment year, clear-cuts differed the most from the uncut control due to the increased irradiance and heat load. Means and variability of air and soil temperature increased, air became dryer along with higher soil moisture levels. Retention tree groups could effectively ameliorate the extreme temperatures but not the mean values. Preparation cutting induced slight changes from the original buffered and humid forest microclimate. Despite the substantially more incoming light, gap-cutting could retain the cool and humid air conditions and showed the highest increase in soil moisture after the interventions. For most microclimate variables, we could not observe any obvious trend within 3 yr. However, soil temperature variability decreased with time in clear-cuts, while soil moisture difference continuously increased in gap- and clear-cuts. Based on multivariate analyses, the treatments separated significantly based mainly on the temperature maxima and variability. We found that (1) the effect sizes among treatment levels were consistent throughout the years, (2) the climatic recovery time for variables appears to be far more than 3 yr, and (3) the applied silvicultural methods diverged mainly among the temperature maxima. Based on our study, the spatially heterogeneous and fine-scaled treatments of continuous cover forestry (gap-cutting, selection systems) are recommended. By applying these practices, the essential structural elements creating buffered microclimate could be more successfully maintained. Thus, forestry interventions could induce less pronounced alterations in environmental conditions for forest-dwelling organism groups.

We test this using the East African carnivore fossil record. We analyse the diversity of carnivores over the last four million years and investigate whether any decline is related to an increase in hominin cognitive capacity, vegetation changes or climatic changes. We find that extinction rates in large carnivores correlate with increased hominin brain size and with vegetation changes, but not with precipitation or temperature changes. While temporal analyses cannot distinguish between the effects of vegetation changes and hominins, we show through spatial analyses of contemporary carnivores in Africa that only hominin causation is plausible. Our results suggest that substantial anthropogenic influence on biodiversity started millions of years earlier than currently assumed.

Here, we present a taxonomical revision of 14 species of Leptopanorpa, including two new species: Leptopanorpa linyejiei sp. n. from West Java and Leptopanorpa majapahita sp. n. from East Java. A key to species of Leptopanorpa is provided. Leptopanorpa sieboldi MacLachlan is treated as a junior synonym of Leptopanorpa charpentieri (Burmeister), and Leptopanorpa pi decorata Lieftinck is synonymized with Leptopanorpa pi (van der Weele). Leptopanorpa peterseni Lieftinck is reported from Bali for the first time. In order to unravel the phylogeny of Leptopanorpa and other groups with elongated male abdomens, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference analyses were performed based on 61 morphological characters and partial sequences of one nuclear gene (28S ribosomal RNA) and two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome c oxidase subunits I and II). Thirty-three species in Panorpoidea were selected as in-group taxa and two species in Choristidae as out-group taxa. The results highly support a monophyletic Leptopanorpa, which nests within a paraphyletic Neopanorpa van der Weele. Both parsimonious and Bayesian results suggest that Leptopanorpa can be divided into four subclades. We elucidated the evolutionary history of Leptopanorpa with regard to the paleogeological events of Sundaland and corroborated the multiple origins of elongated male abdomens in Panorpoidea. We also hypothesized that the ventral hook on the male abdominal sternum VI of L. linyejiei sp. n. is very likely used to control the female's abdomen during copulation.

It was anticipated that overall richness of the fish community would increase in a downstream direction together with habitat extent, but that more uncommon species would occur upstream owing to greater heterogeneity among sites. Fish were collected between 1995 and 2014 at 85 sites distributed throughout the Duck River Basin, Tennessee, USA. A site usually consisted of four habitat types: riffles, runs, pools and shoreline. Each habitat type was sampled with a multipass electrofishing protocol. In all, 136 native fish species were collected. Of these, 71% were classified as uncommon but represented only 16% of the total count of fish collected. As expected, overall species richness increased downstream, but contrary to expectation, uncommon species did too. Some uncommon species were restricted exclusively to tributaries and headwaters, some to tributaries and mainstem, many to mainstem only, but the largest fraction of uncommon species occurred throughout the basin, but even this last group increased in richness downstream. Conservation often focuses on uncommon species. This study suggests that a greater number of uncommon species can be conserved with an emphasis on large downstream reaches, which not only include more aquatic habitat to support larger concentrations of fish, but also shelter the uncommon species that tend to require the most protection.

However, use of body composition measurements in nutritional surveillance and routine clinical practice is limited by the lack of reference data. Our aim was to produce age-specific and sex-specific reference values for SMM and FM in the White ethnic adult population in the UK. Secondary objectives were to examine the tracking over time using a subsample of the population with repeated measures of body composition and to assess the validity of these reference values in different ethnic subgroups. Methods We used data from segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in 390 565 participants, aged 40-69 years, in the UK Biobank, and data from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry from n = 905 participants to validate the BIA measurements. SMM was calculated as the sum of the predicted muscle mass from the limbs. The LMS method was used to produce percentile curves for the SMM index (SMMI = SMM/height(2)) and the FM index (FMI = FM/height(2)). We investigated the validity of the White ethnic reference values by plotting z-scores (99.7% confidence interval) from Black and Asian groups to check if their confidence interval included zero. Longitudinal trajectories were predicted based on the baseline z-scores and the correlation between repeated measurements at follow-up. Results The percentile curves show that SMMI declines in men from the age of 40, whereas in women, SMMI is more stable and decreases only slightly among women in the higher percentiles. FMI increases with age in both men and women. Women have higher FMI and lower SMMI than men in all age groups. The validity of the White-based reference values for non-White ethnic groups is poor. Longitudinal trajectories in body composition in the subsample of participants with a follow-up assessment show regression towards the mean in both men and women, with some evidence of declining SMMI only among men. The predicted 90% limits for the expected 5 year trajectories of SMMI and FMI can be used to identify people with unusual trajectories and in clinical practice to identify and track individuals at risk of excessive loss of SMM. Conclusions These body composition reference values developed from BIA in a middle/older-aged healthy White ethnic population in the UK could be used as a simple assessment tool for nutritional surveillance and to identify individuals with low SMMI or high FMI who may be at increased risk of disease and/or frailty.

A mortality event occurred in a cultured population of catfish-like loach (Triplophysa siluorides) in Sichuan Province, China. Gross clinical signs of the affected fish included skin lesions and haemorrhagic ulcers, which are often associated with ranaviruses. Inoculation of liver, kidney and spleen tissue homogenates in epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells at 25 degrees C resulted in cytopathic effect within 24 hr. Transmission electron microscopy of infected EPC cells revealed hexagonal viral arrays in the cytoplasm and icosahedral geometry of the virions. Following exposure of T. siluroides to the isolated virus, similar clinical signs were observed and the fish experienced 40% and 90% mortality after 21 days at 10(3.58) and 10(7.8) TCID50/0.1 ml doses, respectively, providing evidence the isolated virus was the main causative agent of the mortality event. Diagnostic PCR of the major capsid protein gene of ranavirus showed that all samples of diseased fish and isolated virus were positive. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolated virus, designated as FYLl40220, was associated with the Common Midwife Toad Virus (CMTV)-like ranavirus clade. To our knowledge, this case represents the first report of CMTV-associated mortality in a fish species. Collectively, these results suggest that the host range of CMTV-like ranaviruses is greater than previously thought, and this clade of ranaviruses could have significant economic and biodiversity impacts.

SO SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY LA English DT Article; Early Access DE Right to food; intellectual property rights; business and human rights; Monsanto; seeds; plant varieties AB Building on both the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the relevant portions of the advisory opinion of the International Monsanto Tribunal, this article presents a normative argument on the right-to-food responsibility of corporate actors that own and exercise intellectual property rights on seeds and plant varieties. This article contends that while states bear the primary responsibility for the right to food, corporate actors that own intellectual property rights on seeds and plant varieties equally have a responsibility to respect the right to food and to ensure that the exercise and enforcement of their intellectual property rights does not negatively affect the ability of small scale farmers to gain access to the means of food production nor threaten agricultural biodiversity, as both of these factors are crucial for ensuring food security. In this regard, agricultural companies that own intellectual property rights on seeds and plant varieties should not engage in activities that negatively impact the non-commercial farmers' seed system nor should they prevent farmers from saving and exchanging seeds.

It is emphasized that they represent a group of countries with a significant degree of heterogeneity. Finally, the Iberian Spanish and the Hispano American cultures are analyzed. Five cultural elements are reviewed: (1) ethnic group, (2) language, (3) religion, (4) level of development, and (5) level of schooling. It is concluded that regardless that in Spain, there are important regional differences, it is possible to consider that there is a cultural background common to all Spaniards, which may have specific nuances in each region. Hispano America, on the other hand, from the point of view of its ethnic origin, is 50% descended from Europeans, Indians, and Africans. The other 50% represents a mixture in varying proportions of these ethnic groups and other groups. It is concluded that in Hispano America there is a "base" culture (Hispanic culture) that presents a great variability according to the particular country and region. This base culture emphasizes socially oriented values, such as solidarity, some temporary flexibility, and similar cultural values. C1 [Ardila, Alfredo] Sechenov Univ, Moscow, Russia.

Information transmitted by archetypes (language, rituals, art, social structure, and more) guaranteed the stability of collective memory. Ethnic identity for Dong people is an indisputable value that is above other moral and social values. In this study, the author analyzes the main ethnic markers of the Dong people's culture, raising questions about preserving the authenticity of ethnic cultural heritage. Methods The article presents an analysis of tangible and intangible artifacts, and their relationship with modern living conditions. Results The article studies the transformation of the cultural heritage of southwestern ethnic groups in modern conditions and possible ways to preserve historical forms (memes) as a prerogative ethnocultural heritage of the Dong people. Conclusion The problems associated with the development of the tourist infrastructure of the region are analyzed. The article presents how ethnic tourism commercializes traditions, weakening the true sacredness. C1 [Zhu, Wen Shuang; Liu, Xun] Guilin Univ Technol, Guilin, Peoples R China.

Yet, systematic evaluation of marker genes for this purpose is scarcely done. Recently, the combined effort of phycologists has produced a rich plastid genome resource with taxonomic representation spanning all of the major lineages of the red algae (Rhodophyta). In this proof-of-concept study, we leveraged this resource by developing and applying a phylogenomic strategy to seek candidate plastid markers suitable for phylogenetic community analysis. We ranked the core genes of 107 published plastid genomes based on various sequence-derived properties and their tree distance to plastid genome phylogenies. The resulting ranking revealed that the most widely used marker, rbcL, is not necessarily the optimal marker, while other promising markers might have been overlooked. We designed and tested PCR primers for several candidate marker genes, and successfully amplified one of them, rpoC1, in a taxonomically broad set of red algal specimens. We suggest that our general marker identification methodology and the rpoC1 primers will be useful to the phycological community for investigating the biodiversity and community ecology of the red algae.

Over recent centuries, however, increasing human domination of the tropics has led to widespread defaunation, or the decline, local-, or global extinction of tropical animal species. Defaunation is one of the defining features of the Anthropocene and is best documented for vertebrate species, especially mammals and birds. Defaunation is driven by several direct (e.g., hunting) and indirect (e.g., habitat alteration) anthropogenic threats, but how these threats differ in the nature and magnitude of their impacts on tropical mammal and bird species remains unclear. Using a meta-analysis of 82 studies on 254 mammal and 1,640 bird species from across the tropics, we assess the effects of three major regional-scale drivers of tropical defaunation, namely hunting, forest degradation and forest conversion, on measures of abundance for tropical mammal and bird species belonging to different dietary guilds and IUCN conservation status groups. Mammal species across dietary guilds either declined or did not change, on average, in response to the three drivers, with hunting having the most consistent negative impacts on abundances of carnivores, frugivores, herbivores/granivores, large-bodied species, and species of high conservation importance. By contrast, bird species declined most strongly in response to forest conversion, with responses varying widely across different dietary and conservation importance groups, and not consistently related to body size. Our results reveal that hunting, forest degradation and conversion are associated with distinct types of defaunation of mammal and bird species, and are therefore likely to have distinct implications for animal-mediated interactions and processes, ecosystem functions, and conservation of tropical forests. Addressing major gaps in our empirical understanding of defaunation effects-e.g., hunting impacts on smaller-bodied mammals and birds, and responses of species in southeast Asian forests-is key to better understanding, predicting, and mitigating the impacts of this pervasive global threat.

Significant achievements have been made with single strains, but focus is now going toward the use of microbial consortia owning to their functional stability and efficiency. However, assembly of simplified microbial consortia (SMC) from complex environmental communities is still far from trivial due to large diversity and the effect of biotic interactions. Here we propose a strategy, based on enrichment and dilution-to-extinction cultures, to construct SMC with reduced diversity for degradation of keratinous materials. Serial dilutions were performed on a keratinolytic microbial consortium pre-enriched from a soil sample, monitoring the dilution effect on community growth and enzymatic activities. An appropriate dilution regime (10(-9)) was selected to construct a SMC library from the enriched microbial consortium. Further sequencing analysis and keratinolytic activity assays demonstrated that obtained SMC displayed actual reduced microbial diversity, together with various taxonomic composition, and biodegradation capabilities. More importantly, several SMC possessed equivalent levels of keratinolytic efficiency compared to the initial consortium, showing that simplification can be achieved without loss of function and efficiency. This methodology is also applicable to other types of recalcitrant material degradation involving microbial consortia, thus considerably broadening its application scope.

TI The Potential of Arable Weeds to Reverse Invertebrate Declines and Associated Ecosystem Services in Cereal Crops SO FRONTIERS IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS LA English DT Article DE invertebrates; farmland biodiversity conservation; functional biodiversity; arable weeds; farmland bird conservation ID BEETLES COLEOPTERA; SEED PREDATION; PESTICIDE USE; LAND-USE; DIVERSITY; FOOD; BIODIVERSITY; CONSERVATION; ARTHROPODS; ABUNDANCE AB There is global concern that invertebrate populations are declining rapidly, particularly in agricultural habitats. Declines have been attributed to the intensification of farming systems, with many studies focussing on a lack of semi-natural habitat in the landscape and the use of insecticides. However, within-field arable weeds are also an important driver of invertebrate abundance and the ecosystem services to which they contribute. This study focuses on the role of arable weeds in supporting invertebrate populations and selected ecosystem services they deliver., using winter wheat as a case study. Weed-invertebrate relationships were investigated across seven studies of winter-sown wheat spanning 18 years. Both phytophagous and predatory invertebrates responded to weed cover but to different degrees. Phytophages showed a stronger positive relationship with weed cover than the predators, because they rely on the resources provided by the weeds whereas predatory species response is likely to be mediated by their prey. Farmland bird chick-food indices were positively related to both broadleaf and grass cover in cropped fields, indicating that increased weed cover can provide increased invertebrate food for birds in winter wheat. Despite this potential, there were insufficient invertebrate food resources for birds in the majority of wheat fields sampled. Weed diversity did not play a significant role in moderating the relationships between weeds and invertebrate abundance, however this may be a function of the low weed diversity in modern winter wheat fields. In this study the weed species most frequently shown to predict the invertebrate community were: Poa annua, Stellaria media, Fumaria officinalis, Sinapis arvensis, Senecio vulgaris, Persicaria lapathifolia, Sonchus spp., Matricaria discoidea, Persicaria maculosa, Agrostis spp., Lamium purpureum, Lamium album, Veronica spp., Atriplex spp., Myosotis spp. and Anagallis arvensis. We conclude that even in an intensively grown cereal, arable weeds can play an important role in maintaining and restoring invertebrate populations, that 10% weed cover is needed to fulfill the potential and that a successful outcome will be driven by the presence of weed species that support invertebrates that provide ecosystem services.

Myanmar orchid flora is very rich, but still poorly known because botanical explorations have sharply decreased in Myanmar since 1950. The present study provides a checklist of Myanmar orchid flora which includes 1040 species and 151 genera currently known from Myanmar, based on the herbarium specimens, literature and online databases. The number of species is increased by approximately 200 species more than that given in the checklist of Kress et al. (2003), mainly due to recent discoveries of new species to science and new records for Myanmar. There are 76 endemic species of Orchidaceae in Myanmar. It is estimated that ca. 150-300 species still remain as unidentified and are expected to be discovered in further studies on Myanmar orchid flora.

The study used a mixed methods approach, including a species identification test and a questionnaire, and involved 186 Norwegian EC student-teachers. Our results reveal that species knowledge of first-year students was poor when they entered university. During their first semester, the students learn about common, local species and this knowledge seems to be maintained throughout their studies. The majority of the students had use of species knowledge during their practical training periods in kindergartens and considered species knowledge important for EC teachers as well as for sustainable development. The need for species knowledge was often associated with spontaneously occurring situations initiated by children during nature excursions. The students argued that species knowledge is important for fostering children's curiosity, increasing their understanding of nature and strengthening their relationship with nature. We hope that this study can illustrate the importance of species knowledge in EC teacher education. It is essential that students acquire both the knowledge and skills to facilitate the variety of learning possibilities that exist in nature and are able to provide children possibilities to learn about the diversity of nature as well as to develop a relationship with it.

Four species unknown to science and belonging to the families Axonolaimidae, Chromadoridae, Desmodoridae and Xyalidae are described. Besides Hypodontolaimus golikovy, Hypodontolaimus portuguese sp. n. is the only species in this genus which lacks precloacal supplements and gubernaculum but differs from the former mainly in cephalic setae length and amphidial fovea features. Metachromadora aliusa sp. n. doesn't have a unique diagnostic character, differing in many aspects from the other species of the genus instead, mainly teeth number in the buccal cavity, size of the cephalic setae and the amphidial fovea, velum presence in the spicules, number and shape of the precloacal supplements. The main character of Odontophora sinapophysis sp. n. is the absence of apophysis in the gubernaculum. Stylotheristus multipapillatus sp. n. is characterized by the presence of precloacal supplements (papillifonn) and the gubernaculum formed by only a piece.

If this is the case, can we assume that all green spaces are synonymous to augmenting happiness? Biodiversity is expressed in terms of a system having number and abundance of different species. For resilience of various ecosystem services like food production, climate regulation, and pest management to take place, prevalence of such biodiversity is essential which can substantially contribute to sustained human well-being. In this study, we assessed the status of agrobiodiversity and subjective well-being of an indigenous community amidst the transition from shifting cultivation (SC) to monoculture of natural rubber (NR). Sampling the respondents from 18 villages of Dhalai, Tripura, a remotely located district in northeast India and bordered by Bangladesh, we used mixed methods research for in depth investigation. Findings revealed that in the SC landscape of study area, the cultivated crop species and livestock breeds were being largely replaced by encroachment from rubber plantation. We documented only 19 crop species on such a landscape which is otherwise known for its vast agrobiodiversity in the tropics. This kind of transition from SC to NR which is usually supported by the government development interventions, has severely affected the ecosystem services of such landscapes and banishing happiness from the indigenous communities, as perceived by them. Hence stabilization of rich agrobiodiversity and simultaneously ensuring the peoples' well-being is the only potential alternative for development in the region. C1 [Pandey, D.

TI Sex differences in the associations of physical activity and macronutrient intake with child body composition: A cross-sectional study of 3-to 7-year-olds in Samoa SO PEDIATRIC OBESITY LA English DT Article; Early Access DE body composition; nutritional intake; obesity; physical activity; Samoa ID CARDIOVASCULAR-DISEASE; PACIFIC-ISLAND; RISK-FACTORS; MASS INDEX; FAT; ADIPOSITY; OBESITY; MAORI AB Background Overweight/obesity is prevalent among children in the Pacific Islands, but its aetiology is poorly understood. Few studies have considered body composition in addition to body mass index-based measures. Objectives To describe body composition among Samoan children and determine sex-specific associations among dietary intake, physical activity, and body composition. Methods Body composition (percent body fat [%BF], lean mass, and trunk-to-peripheral fat ratio) of n = 83 Samoan children (3-7 y) was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Children completed 7 days of objective physical activity monitoring. Mothers reported child nutritional intake using a 115-item food frequency questionnaire. Stepwise generalized linear regression was used to determine independent associations of nutritional intake and physical activity with body composition. Results Samoan children had higher average %BF than reported among other ethnic groups but lower trunk-to-peripheral fat ratios. In sex-stratified analyses, quartile of carbohydrate intake was negatively associated with %BF (beta = -2.02 SE = 0.58; P < .001) in girls only. Among boys, physical activity (quartile of accelerometer counts per minute) was negatively associated with %BF (beta = -1.66 SE = 0.55; P < .01). Conclusions Sex differences in the associations among nutritional intake, physical activity, and body composition may be important to consider as interventions are developed to address overweight/obesity among Samoan children.

Conserving biodiversity and enhancing ecosystem services of interest in intensive agroecosystems is a major challenge. Perennial ecological infrastructures (EIs), such as hedges and grassy strips, and annual EI under Agri-Environment Schemes appear to be good candidates to promote both. Our study focused on carabids, an indicator group responding both at the species and functional trait level to disturbances and supporting pest control and weed seed consumption services. Methods. We compared carabid assemblages at the species and functional traits levels, sampled via pitfall trapping, in three types of EIs (hedges, grassy strips and annual flower strips) and crops. We also tested via GLMs the effect of (1) the type of EI at the crops' border and (2) the distance from the crops' border (two meters or 30 meters) on carabid assemblages of crops. Tested variables comprised: activity-density, species richness, functional dispersion metrics (FDis) and proportions of carabids by functional categories (Diet: generalist predators/specialist predators/seed-eaters; Size: small/medium/large/very large; Breeding period: spring/autumn). Results and Discussion. Carabid assemblages on the Principal Coordinate Analysis split in two groups: crops and EIs. Assemblages from all sampled EIs were dominated by mobile generalist predator species from open-land, reproducing in spring. Assemblages of hedges were poor in activity-density and species richness, contrarily to grassy and annual flower strips. Differences in carabid assemblages in crops were mainly driven by the presence of hedges. The presence of hedges diminished the Community Weighted Mean size of carabids in crops, due to an increased proportion of small (<5 mm) individuals, while distance from crops' border favoured large (between 10-15 mm) carabids. Moreover, even if they were attracted by EIs, granivorous carabid species were rare in crops. Our results underlie the importance of local heterogeneity when adapting crops' borders to enhance carabid diversity and question the relevance of hedge implantation in intensive agrolandscapes, disconnected from any coherent ecological network. Moreover, this study emphasizes the difficulty to modify functional assemblages of crops for purposes of ecosystem services development, especially for weed seed consumption, as well as the role of distance from the crops' border in the shaping of crop carabid assemblages.

Recently, in Japan, due to an economic recession, some previously developed lands have become vacant. Little is known, however, about the legacy of earlier earthmoving, which involves topsoil removal and ground leveling before residential construction, on plant community composition in such vacant lots. To understand (dis)assembly processes in vacant lots, we studied 24 grasslands in a suburban region in Japan: 12 grasslands that had experienced earthmoving and 12 that had not. We surveyed plant community composition and species richness, and clarified compositional turnover (replacement of species) and nestedness (nonrandom species loss) by distance-based beta-diversities, which were summarized by PCoA analysis. We used piecewise structural equation modeling to examine the effects of soil properties, mowing frequency, past and present habitat connectivities on compositional changes. As a result, past earthmoving, mowing frequency, soil properties, and past habitat connectivity were found to be the drivers of compositional turnover. In particular, we found legacy effects of earthmoving: earthmoving promoted turnover from native grassland species to weeds in arable lands or roadside by altering soil properties. Mowing frequency also promoted the same turnover, implying that extensive rather than intensive mowing can modify the negative legacy effects and maintain grassland species. Decrease in present habitat connectivity marginally enhanced nonrandom loss of native grassland species (nestedness). Present habitat connectivity had a positive effect on species richness, highlighting the important roles of contemporary dispersal. Our study demonstrates that community assembly is a result of multiple processes differing in spatial and temporal scales. We suggest that extensive mowing at local scale, as well as giving a high conservation priority to grasslands with high habitat connectivity at regional scale, is the promising actions to maintain endangered native grassland species in suburban landscapes with negative legacy effects of earthmoving.

In this study, we examine the influence of temperature on global biomass transfers from marine secondary production to fish stocks. By combining fisheries catches in all coastal ocean areas and life-history traits of exploited marine species, we provide global estimates of two trophic transfer parameters which determine biomass flows in coastal marine food web: the trophic transfer efficiency (TTE) and the biomass residence time (BRT) in the food web. We find that biomass transfers in tropical ecosystems are less efficient and faster than in areas with cooler waters. In contrast, biomass transfers through the food web became faster and more efficient between 1950 and 2010. Using simulated changes in sea water temperature from three Earth system models, we project that the mean TTE in coastal waters would decrease from 7.7% to 7.2% between 2010 and 2100 under the 'no effective mitigation' representative concentration pathway (RCP8.5), while BRT between trophic levels 2 and 4 is projected to decrease from 2.7 to 2.3 years on average. Beyond the global trends, we show that the trophic transfer efficiencies and BRTs may vary substantially among ecosystem types and that the polar ecosystems may be the most impacted ecosystems. The detected and projected changes in mean TTE and BRT will undermine food web functioning. Our study provides quantitative understanding of temperature effects on trophodynamic of marine ecosystems under climate change.

TI Spatial variation in climate modifies effects of functional diversity on biomass dynamics in natural forests across Canada SO GLOBAL ECOLOGY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY LA English DT Article; Early Access DE biodiversity-ecosystem functioning; environmental context; functional trait; growth; mortality; net biomass change; productivity; temperature; water availability ID TREE PRODUCTIVITY; SPECIES RICHNESS; PLANT DIVERSITY; BIODIVERSITY; FACILITATION; TEMPERATE; RESPONSES; IMPACTS AB Aim Forest net biomass change (Delta AGB; the difference between biomass gain from growth and loss through mortality) determines how forests contribute to the global carbon cycle. Understanding how plant diversity affects Delta AGB in diverse abiotic conditions is crucial in the face of anthropogenic environmental change. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of the effects of plant diversity on growth dependent on the abiotic context, either supporting or rejecting the stress gradient hypothesis. However, we know little about how diversity influences mortality, which prevents us from knowing how diversity affects Delta AGB in diverse abiotic conditions. Location Across Canada (43-60 degrees N, 52-133 degrees W). Time period 1951-2016. Major taxa studied Ninety-three tree species. Methods We modelled the relationships of growth, mortality and Delta AGB with functional diversity that represented niche complementarity, while simultaneously accounting for the influence of functional identity and stand age. Results Growth and mortality increased, on average, with functional diversity, but the magnitude of the increase in growth was greater than that of mortality, resulting in an increase of Delta AGB. The positive relationship between growth and functional diversity was more prominent in more humid sites than in drier sites. Mortality increased with functional diversity in drier sites but did not increase in wetter sites. The positive relationship between Delta AGB and functional diversity was strengthened with water availability. Moreover, the positive relationship between growth and functional diversity became stronger with temperature, but the positive associations of diversity with mortality and Delta AGB were consistent across the gradient of temperature. Main conclusions Our results suggest that higher functional diversity leads to an increase in forest biomass accumulation owing to a greater positive effect of functional diversity on productivity than on mortality. However, in contrast to the stress gradient hypothesis, our findings show that the positive effect of functional diversity is more pronounced in an environment favourable for growth.

The Irish Sea is a busy waterway under the jurisdiction of six entities (Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man, Scotland, England, and Wales). Within this body of water there are almost 200 conservation designations across 111 MPA sites, with many sites having multiple designations (national, EU, and international). Data is lacking on the effectiveness of these protected areas in reaching their conservation objectives due to sites being inadequately monitored. The race to meet the 10% marine protected area target set by the Conservation on Biological Diversity, however, may be compromising effective planning. Do multiple designations ensure better protection of the marine environment, or is the Irish Sea home to paper parks, offering little protection? Metadata compiled from the World Database on Protected Areas and conservation reports from MPA managers were used to investigate this question. The results show a positive correlation between the number of designations of a site and the existence of a publicly available management plan. The presence of a management plan was also linked to whether or not site assessments were conducted by the relevant authorities, and sites having multiple designations was weakly correlated with favourable assessment outcomes. The results of this study highlight the need to better understand the requirements of national, regional and international-level conservation designations and how they interact with each other.

Here, we combined information from those two digital sources in a multimodel inference framework to identify, map, and predict the potential for nature's cultural contributions to people in two contrasting UNESCO biosphere reserves: Donana and Sierra Nevada (Spain). The content analysis of Flickr pictures revealed different cultural contributions, according to the natural and cultural values of the two reserves. Those contributions relied upon landscape variables computed from Earth observation data: the variety of colors and vegetation functioning that characterize Donana landscapes, and the leisure facilities, accessibility features, and heterogeneous landscapes that shape Sierra Nevada. Our findings suggest that social media and Earth observations can aid in the cost-efficient monitoring of nature's contributions to people, which underlie many Sustainable Development Goals and conservation targets in protected areas worldwide.

The present study investigated whether different components (species replacement and species gains/losses) of compositional and phylogenetic beta diversity of insect ectoparasites responded similarly to environmental and host-associated gradients using a large dataset on distribution of fleas and their rodent hosts in Mongolia. 2. Generalised dissimilarity modelling was applied to investigate whether environmental variables or host dissimilarity was the best predictor of species/lineage replacement and species/lineage gains/losses (= richness difference) components of compositional and phylogenetic flea beta diversity. 3. The total compositional beta diversity of fleas was influenced mainly by the gradient in air temperature and, to a lesser degree, by total host beta diversity, with the former effect being associated with the richness difference component and the latter effect being associated with species replacement component. The total phylogenetic beta diversity of fleas was best explained by the total phylogenetic beta diversity of hosts, with this effect being mainly associated with the lineage replacement component, whereas the lineage richness difference component responded mainly to the temperature gradient. 4. The results of the present indicate that not only multiple beta diversity facets are driven by different factors, but also different components of the same beta diversity facet respond to different environmental (for parasites, including host-associated) gradients. These patterns were masked when only total beta diversity was analysed. 5. This emphasizes the importance of considering the components of insect beta diversity separately. Ignoring the separate components of beta diversity can lead to potentially erroneous inferences about the relative contribution of abiotic and biotic effects on beta diversity.

TI Reptile community responses to native and non-native riparian forests and disturbance along two rivers in Arizona SO RIVER RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS LA English DT Article; Early Access DE biodiversity; Gila River; mesquite; nonnative vegetation; saltcedar; San Pedro River; squamate; wildfire ID STREAM-FLOW; TAMARIX; LIZARDS; GROUNDWATER; VEGETATION; IMPACTS; HABITAT; FIRE AB Aridland riparian forests are undergoing compositional changes in vegetation and wildlife communities due to altered hydrology. As flows have been modified, woody vegetation has shifted from native-tree dominated to non-native and shrub encroached habitats. Squamate vertebrates such as lizards and snakes are important food web links in riparian ecosystems of the Sonoran Desert. However, little is known about how these communities might respond as riparian forests transition from native tree dominated habitats to open xeroriparian woodlands. We used pitfall arrays deployed across three types of riparian forest to document reptile community patterns, measure vegetation, and produce species-habitat models. Riparian forests differed on the basis of habitat composition and physiognomy. Two types, cottonwood-willow (Populus-Salix) and mesquite (Prosopis) stands, were characterized by high woody species richness. The third type, non-native saltcedar (Tamarix) stands, had high densities of woody debris and greater canopy coverage. Results show that lizards were common and abundances greatest in cottonwood-willow, especially for arboreal species. Species-habitat models for three of five lizard species indicated a negative association to saltcedar-invaded habitat and no species appeared to select saltcedar-dominated habitat. Mesquite was an intermediate habitat between upland and riparian, and supports high species diversity. A wildfire in the cottonwood-willow forest disproportionately affected abundance of ground-foraging whiptail (Aspidoscelis) lizards; whereas, abundance of arboreal spiny (Sceloporus) species was unchanged. Expected drivers from climate and water use could transition cottonwood forests to other woody-dominated types. Our results suggest that mesquite woodlands would provide higher quality habitat for riparian reptiles compared to non-native saltcedar stands.

TI Assessment of the invasion process of the common raccoon Procyon lotor (Carnivora: Procyonidae) on a Mediterranean island a decade after its introduction SO SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Procyon lotor; Island ecosystems; Invasive species; Colonization process; Trophic ecology ID BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS; 1ST RECORD; RABIES; ESTABLISHMENT; SELECTION; EUROPE AB The common raccoon, Procyon lotor was introduced at the Balearic Islands (Spain) in 2006. Since then, a colonization process has been carried out, with captures of specimens in 24.30% of the surface of the whole Mallorca Island. For the first time, information has been provided on the invasive process of P. lotor in an insular ecosystem. 257 specimens of P. lotor were captured during the period 2007-2018, of them 104 were analysed to estimate population parameters. Demographic data showed that the population had a sex ratio of 1.00:1.21 (males:females), high BMI values and up to 40% of females were lactating when captured. Related to diet data, the composition was mainly the same as previous studies around its natural and introduced distribution area. Plant residues represented the 53.25 +/- 38.66% followed by invertebrates with 12.22 +/- 22.54%, inorganic remains with 11.9 +/- 22.07% and finally the vertebrates with 4.94 +/- 18.27%. Thus, it is shown how an opportunistic omnivorous species has adapted to the resources provided by the island. Cultivated plants' remains and plastic content in diet evidence that P. lotor is entering in contact with human settlements and agricultural areas. As occurred in other islands where P. lotor was introduced, it is expected that it could become a future problem for the conservation biodiversity in insular ecosystems, as well as for agriculture and human activity. Due to the potential impact on native biodiversity it is necessary to reinforce the implementation of control actions and prevent its expansion to the rest of the island.

We investigated this topic using Mediterranean stream, river and canal fish communities as a test case, at 3734 sites in Italy, and distinguishing between exotic and translocated species invasion in three different faunal districts. Our results clearly confirmed that introduced species were widespread and in many cases the invasion was severe (130 communities were completely composed by introduced species). Exotic and translocated fish species had substantially different geographical distribution patterns, perhaps arising from their differences in introduction timing, spread and invasion mechanisms. We also found a clear decreasing trend of functional dispersion along an invasion gradient, confirming our hypothesis that the invasion process can diminish the relative diversity of ecofunctional traits of host fish communities. Furthermore, our results suggested that exotic species might have a greater negative effect than translocated species on the relative diversity of ecofunctional traits of fish communities. This could also be linked to the fact that translocated species are more ecofunctionally similar to native ones, compared to the exotics. Our multivariate analysis of site-specific combinations of ecofunctional traits highlighted some traits characteristic of all invaded communities, while our discriminant analysis underlined how there was a substantial ecofunctional overlap between native, exotic and translocated species groups in most areas.

The interest in termite ecology and biogeography has increased in the last few decades; however, the lack of comparable data has limited the wider impact of termite research. For Ecuador, termite studies are relatively rare and comparable data that are collected using standardized sampling methods are missing. In this study, we aim to 1) provide comparable data of termite species and feeding-group diversity from two primary forests in Ecuador and 2) explore the differences in termite species and feeding-group diversity between the two forest sites. Sampling took place in the national parks of Yasuni and Podocarpus where three belt transects (100 x 2 m) following Jones and Eggleton (2000) were conducted in each forest. We found that termite species richness was higher in Yasuni (56 species) than in Podocarpus (24 species) and that 57% of the sampled termite genera had never previously been recorded in Ecuador. The inter-site species dissimilarity was almost complete (Bray Curtis (+/- SD), 0.91 +/- 0.01), which may have been linked to the difference in tree density and species richness in the two forests. Termite feeding-groups diversity was significantly higher in Yasuni than in Podocarpus with the exception of soil-feeding termites which may have been due to competition between humus- and soil-feeding species.

TI Development of Decisional Values Statements for Lung Cancer Screening Among African American Smokers SO JOURNAL OF CANCER EDUCATION LA English DT Article; Early Access DE Lung cancer screening; Low-dose computed tomography; Informed decision-making; Decisional values; African Americans ID MODEL AB Lung cancer screening via low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has been underutilized by high-risk current and former smokers since its approval in 2013. Further, lower use of other evidence-based cancer screening tests (e.g., colorectal cancer, breast cancer) has been noted among African Americans when compared with other racial and ethnic groups. Reasons for low uptake are multilayered but include the need for consideration of patients' personal values about the screening decision. The goal of the present study was to (1) identify positive and negative factors specific to lung cancer screening via LDCT and (2) develop statements to capture values about the screening test for use in a new measure of decisional values. Key informant interviews (n = 9) identified several benefits and risks of lung cancer screening that may be important to African American smokers. Based on these interviews, a pool of items with the values statements was administered to a convenience sample of 119 African Americans [aged 55-80 years, current or former smokers (who quit < 15 years), and without lung cancer]. An exploratory factor analysis revealed two components explaining 64% of the variance: cons of screening (e.g., "make you feel badly about your smoking history") and pros of screening (e.g., "lowering your risk of dying from lung cancer"). The final 12-item measure had very good internal consistency (alpha = 0.89 overall; alpha = 0.86 and 0.88 for subscales, respectively). This tool provides a promising values measure for lung cancer screening among African Americans and could inform future values clarification tools promoting informed and shared decision-making.

TI Fungal Traits Important for Soil Aggregation SO FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE soil aggregation; traits; saprobic fungi; random forest; biomass density; leucine amino peptidases ID ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI; ORGANIC-MATTER; BIOTA; STABILIZATION; GROWTH; PLANT; BIODIVERSITY; ORGANIZATION; REGRESSION; SYSTEMS AB Soil structure, the complex arrangement of soil into aggregates and pore spaces, is a key feature of soils and soil biota. Among them, filamentous saprobic fungi have well-documented effects on soil aggregation. However, it is unclear what properties, or traits, determine the overall positive effect of fungi on soil aggregation. To achieve progress, it would be helpful to systematically investigate a broad suite of fungal species for their trait expression and the relation of these traits to soil aggregation. Here, we apply a trait-based approach to a set of 15 traits measured under standardized conditions on 31 fungal strains including Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mucoromycota, all isolated from the same soil. We find large differences among these fungi in their ability to aggregate soil, including neutral to positive effects, and we document large differences in trait expression among strains. We identify biomass density, i.e., the density with which a mycelium grows (positive effects), leucine aminopeptidase activity (negative effects) and phylogeny as important factors explaining differences in soil aggregate formation (SAF) among fungal strains; importantly, growth rate was not among the important traits. Our results point to a typical suite of traits characterizing fungi that are good soil aggregators, and our findings illustrate the power of employing a trait-based approach to unravel biological mechanisms underpinning soil aggregation. Such an approach could now be extended also to other soil biota groups. In an applied context of restoration and agriculture, such trait information can inform management, for example to prioritize practices that favor the expression of more desirable fungal traits.

Here, we report the effects, after 15 years of practice, of two legume-winter cereal rotations, olive orchards and vineyards on microbiological and chemical indicators of soil fertility and the communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We compare the changes among these four agricultural land-use types to woodland reference sites. Root colonization by AMF of English ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), a grass that occurred under all land use types, was only half as heavy in biannual berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.)-winter cereal rotations than in 4-year alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)-winter cereal rotations. In olive (Olea europaea L.) orchards and vineyards (Vitis vinifera L.), where weeds are controlled by frequent surface tillage, the AMF root colonization of ryegrass was again much lower than in the legume-cereal rotations and at the woodland reference sites. All the microbial parameters and soil organic carbon correlated most strongly with differences in occurrence and relative abundance (beta-diversity) of AMF genera in soil. The soil pH and mineral nutrients in soil strongly correlated with differences in AMF root colonization and AMF genus richness (alpha-diversity) in soil. Diversity of AMF was much less affected by soil texture than land use, while the opposite was true for microbial and chemical soil fertility indicators. Land uses that guaranteed a continuous ground cover of herbaceous plants and that involved only infrequent tillage, such as multiyear alfalfa-winter cereal rotation, allowed members of the AMF genus Scutellospora to persist and remain abundant. On the contrary, under land uses accompanied by frequent tillage and hence discontinuous presence of herbaceous plants, such as tilled olive orchard and vineyard, members of the genus Funneliformis dominated. These results suggest that multiyear alfalfa-winter cereal rotation with active plant growth throughout the year is the least detrimental agricultural land use in soil carbon and AMF abundance and diversity, relative to the woodland reference.

However, little is known about the experience of school refusal among minority youth (migrants and minority ethnic groups). This study assesses how parents of various cultural backgrounds experience their adolescents' school refusal. Method: This qualitative study is based on interviews of 11 parents of teenagers diagnosed with school refusal at three adolescent outpatient mental health units in Paris and its suburbs. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used for the thematic investigation. Results: The analysis found four themes: (i) confronting school and school refusal distresses parental representations; (ii) school refusal as a failure of the family's obligation to succeed after migration; (iii) representations of school that fluctuate with time since arrival: idealization, followed by mistrust and disappointment in the inequalities, even the racism; (iv) solutions envisioned for school refusal, confronting the healthcare system, stigma, and, again, inequality. Conclusion: All parents question their parenting choices when their children become school refusers. However, when families belong to minority groups, school refusal calls into question parents' relations with the French school system and their immigration choices. At the same time, the construction of a multicultural identity for children and adolescents in transcultural situations requires them to strike a balance between two worlds, and school refusal endangers this delicate negotiation. Subsequent misunderstandings can lead clinicians to misdiagnose school refusal as truancy. Clinicians must take the parents' culture and migration history into account to minimize the risk of complete failure of treatment for school refusal and the ensuing inequality of care and opportunity that can result.

Significantly higher mortalities were observed at higher salinities; the strongest effects occurred on snails collected at the end of winter, and exposed to 30 psu and 20 degrees C (100% mortality in 3 days). When snails were collected during the spring, 100% mortality was observed after 40 days at 30 psu and 20 degrees C. Standard metabolic rates were significantly lower when snails were exposed to salinities of 25 and 30 psu, even after 10 days of acclimation. Enzymatic activities showed small but significant declines after 10 days at 30 psu reflecting the declines observed in overall metabolism. The physiological tolerances to temperature and salinity displayed by this population of P. antipodarum make its eradication from Capital Lake difficult to achieve.

Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons comprise most of the maize genome; their ability to produce new copies makes them efficient high-throughput genetic markers. Inter-retrotransposon-amplified polymorphisms (IRAPs) were used to study the genetic diversity of maize germplasm. Five LTR retrotransposons (Huck, Tekay, Opie, Ji, and Grande) were chosen, based on their large number of copies in the maize genome, whereas polymerase chain reaction primers were designed based on consensus LTR sequences. The LTR primers showed high quality and reproducible DNA fingerprints, with a total of 677 bands including 392 polymorphic bands showing 58% polymorphism between maize hybrid lines. These markers were used to identify genetic similarities among all lines of maize. Analysis of genetic similarity was carried out based on polymorphic amplicon profiles and genetic similarity phylogeny analysis. This diversity was expected to display ecogeographical patterns of variation and local adaptation. The clustering method showed that the varieties were grouped into three clusters differing in ecogeographical origin. Each of these clusters comprised divergent hybrids with convergent characters. The clusters reflected the differences among maize hybrids and were in accordance with their pedigree. The IRAP technique is an efficient high-throughput genetic marker-generating method.

We test this argument of ethno-political favouritism by studying variations in the usage of maternal health care services across groups in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). More specifically, we link geo-referenced individual-level data from the Demographic and Health Surveys on 601,311 births by 399,908 mothers in 31 countries during the period 1981-2014 with data on the settlement of ethnic groups and their political status. Our results indicate that women benefit from the shift that brings co-ethnics into power, increasing the probability of receiving maternal health care services. The effect strengthens with increased competitiveness around elections. We advance the current literature in four important ways. Firstly, we undertake the first analysis that utilizes shifts in ethno-political status for the same individual, effectively eliminating competing time-invariant explanations to that of shifts in ethno-political status. Secondly, since SSA governments often incorporate multiple groups, we test the effect of patronage on being co-ethnic with cabinet members in general, and not only the president. Thirdly, health services constitute the public good most desired by citizens of SSA. Our measure captures a vital health service that is highly desired across groups. An increase in usage likely reflects genuine trickle-down effects of having co-ethnics in power, a crucial ingredient in building popular support for ethnic patrons. Fourthly, we show that electoral competition is an important conditioner of ethno-political favouritism. C1 [Theisen, Ole Magnus] Norwegian Univ Sci & Technol NTNU, Trondheim, Norway.

TI Unveiling geographical gradients of species richness from scant occurrence data SO GLOBAL ECOLOGY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY LA English DT Article; Early Access DE data deficiency; Furnariidae; GBIF; Linnean shortfall; regression-kriging; South America; spatial analyses; species occurrence data; Wallacean shortfall ID SPATIAL AUTOCORRELATION; LATITUDINAL GRADIENTS; DISTRIBUTION MODELS; BIODIVERSITY; KNOWLEDGE; SHORTFALLS; PATTERNS; SCALE; DIVERSITY; BIAS AB Aim Despite longstanding investigation, the gradients of species richness remain unknown for most taxa because of shortfalls in knowledge regarding the quantity and distribution of species. Here, we explore the ability of a geostatistical interpolation model, regression-kriging, to recover geographical gradients of species richness. We examined the technique with an in silico gradient of species richness and evaluated the effect of different configurations of knowledge shortfalls. We also took the same approach for empirical data with large knowledge gaps, the infraorder Furnariides of suboscine birds. Innovation Regression-kriging builds upon two cornerstones of geographical gradients of biodiversity, the spatial autocorrelation of species richness and the conspicuous association of species with environmental factors. With this technique, we recovered a simulated gradient of richness using < 0.01% of sampling sites across the region. The accuracy of the regression-kriging is higher when input samples are more evenly distributed throughout the geographical space rather than the environmental space of the target region. Moreover, the accuracy of this method is more sensitive to the sufficiency of sampling effort within cells than to the quantity of sampled localities. For Furnariides birds, regression-kriging provided a geographical gradient of species richness that resembles purported patterns of other groups and illustrated ubiquitous shortfalls of knowledge about bird diversity. Main conclusions Geostatistical interpolation, such as regression-kriging, might be a useful tool to overcome shortfalls in knowledge that plague our understanding of geographical gradients of biodiversity, with many applications in ecology, palaeoecology and conservation.

The characterization of consumers' perception of and attitudes towards organic food is important to enable the development of marketing policies aimed at attracting conventional consumers to the sector. Consumers' behaviour studies must be conducted specifically for different regions and countries as perceptions and attitudes vary across the world. In the present study, a questionnaire was designed for administration to consumers in Galicia (Northern Spain). The questionnaire was administered to 830 consumers in 200 establishments to obtain data about the consumers' perception of and attitudes towards organic food. The survey results showed that one-third of responders consume organic food and that the typical profile of a consumer of organic food is a middle-aged, medium-high class, university-educated female living in a large village, who shops in supermarkets and preferably consume vegetables, fruits and eggs. Most people who declared that they consume organic products confuse these with home and locally produced food, indicating the potential for growth of the organic sector by providing such consumers with appropriate information. Most consumers (including conventional consumers) have a good opinion of organic food and consider that it is better for health, is of better quality than conventional food and avoid pesticide residues. However, price continues to be a barrier to the consumption of organic produce. Most respondents stated that they would consume more organic food if the price was only between 10% and 30% higher than the conventional equivalent. Finally, organic consumers in Galicia showed positive attitudes towards using local breeds in organic agriculture, both for producing food and for ecotourism and educational activities. Such activities could contribute to conserving breed biodiversity and adding value to organic farming.

Understanding the distribution and drivers of microbial life in iron-rich environments can give critical clues on how to search for biosignatures on Mars. We simulated a robotic drilling mission searching for signs of life in the martian subsurface, by using a 1m-class planetary prototype drill mounted on a full-scale mockup of NASA's Phoenix and InSight lander platforms. We demonstrated fully automated and aseptic drilling on iron and sulfur rich sediments at the Rio Tinto riverbanks, and sample transfer and delivery to sterile containers and analytical instruments. As a ground-truth study, samples were analyzed in the field with the life detector chip immunoassay for searching microbial markers, and then in the laboratory with X-ray diffraction to determine mineralogy, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for lipid composition, isotope-ratio mass spectrometry for isotopic ratios, and 16S/18S rRNA genes sequencing for biodiversity. A ubiquitous presence of microbial biomarkers distributed along the 1m-depth subsurface was influenced by the local mineralogy and geochemistry. The spatial heterogeneity of abiotic variables at local scale highlights the importance of considering drill replicates in future martian drilling missions. The multi-analytical approach provided proof of concept that molecular biomarkers varying in compositional nature, preservation potential, and taxonomic specificity can be recovered from shallow drilling on iron-rich Mars analogues by using an automated life-detection lander prototype, such as the one proposed for NASA's IceBreaker mission proposal.

The species relies on dead softwood from a small selection of plant species for making its nests. Habitat fragmentation, combined with deleterious fire events, is thought to have negatively impacted on nesting substrate availability and recolonisation chances. Here, we use MaxEnt algorithm to model both the current distribution and the effect of climate change scenarios on the distribution of both X. aerata and four plant species that provide most of its nesting substrate: Banksia integrifolia, B. marginata, Xanthorrhoea arborea and Xanthorrhoea semiplana subsp. tateana. The annual mean temperature is the strongest climatic predictor of the distribution of X. aerata and its host plants. The modelled distribution of the bee under current climatic conditions indicates that climatic factors are unlikely to cause local extinctions. In all future scenarios, suitable areas for X. aerata and each of its nesting hosts are expected to contract towards the southeast of mainland Australia. The suitability of Kangaroo Island for the bee and its current local current host species is maintained in all scenarios, while Tasmania will become increasingly suitable for all species. The Grampians National Park in western Victoria, where the bee species were last seen outside of its current range (in the 1930s), is predicted to remain suitable for X. aerata and several host plants under all scenarios. Therefore, this relatively large area of native vegetation may be a good case study for re-introduction as part of future conservation efforts.

Efficient and reliable proxy methods are therefore needed, with the diversity of higher taxa representing one such potential proxy for species-level diversity. Nonetheless, the stability of using this measure across different regions and animal taxa at the global scale has never been investigated thoroughly. Location Global. Time period Up to 2016. Major taxa studied Animalia. Methods We used a large global dataset containing published studies on diversity in the terrestrial Animalia to analyse the relationship between diversity at the family, genus and species level across different orders. Results Family and species diversity were positively correlated, with the strongest correlations in Diptera, Hemiptera and Coleoptera. Correlations were slightly weaker in family-species than in genus-species relationships, whereas differences were stronger in observed richness than in diversity indices. Across all taxa, family-species correlations of Shannon diversity index values were independent of sample size, and they showed limited variation across biomes for the three orders containing sufficient case studies for this analysis. Based on the Shannon diversity index, the species diversity per site increased linearly with the increase in family diversity, with an average species : family diversity index ratio of 2.5, slightly lower than the ratio of 2.7 for observed species and family richness values. Main conclusions Our study confirmed that recording family-level diversity can be a meaningful proxy for determining species-level diversity patterns in biodiversity studies, and trade-offs between identification costs and retained information content need to be considered when using higher taxon surrogacy.

Protected areas are created for biodiversity conservation, but these areas vary strongly in their level of vegetation disturbance. Using trap-nests, we assessed changes in solitary bee abundance, richness, and composition in areas ranging from naturally conserved to degraded. Solitary bees were sampled during an 18-month period in three areas of southeastern Brazil: a preserved area in Rio Preto State Park - PERP; a restored/altered area with exotic plants at the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys - JK Campus; and a degraded area in Biribiri State Park - PEBi. A total of seven species of bees built 115 nests. In the degraded area, only two nests were built. Abundance of built nests was higher in the preserved area (PERP), but diversity was higher in the restored area (JK Campus). Our results show that the solitary bee population responds positively to habitat complexity (local scale). The presence of a diverse solitary bee fauna in the restored area indicates that altered areas should also be protected as suitable areas for re-colonization of cavity-nesting bees.

However, the delimitation and affinities of Horsfieldia in China has been controversial, owing in part to very low levels of molecular divergence within the family Myristicaceae. Because species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships within Horsfieldia are also unclear, 13 samples were collected across its distribution in China and their genomes were subjected to shotgun sequencing using Illumina platforms. A total of 40 487 994-84 801 416 pair-end clean reads were obtained and, after assembly, the complete chloroplast genome was recovered for all samples. Annotation analysis revealed a total of 112 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. Six variable loci (petN-psbM, trnH-psbA, ndhC-trnV, psbJ-psbL, ndhF, and rrn5-rrn23) were identified. Phylogenetic analyses strongly support the presence of four distinct species of Horsfieldia in China. In addition, samples that had been identified previously as Horsfieldia kingii (Hook. f.) Warb. were indistinguishable from those of H. prainii (King) Warb., suggesting that if H. kingii does occur in China, it was not collected in this study. Similarly, the chloroplast genome of one H. hainanensis Merr. sample from Guangxi province was identical to H. tetratepala C. Y. Wu, suggesting that the distribution range of H. hainanensis might be narrower than assumed previously. The phylogenetic relationships between the Chinese Horsfieldia species based on the whole chloroplast genomes was supported strongly, indicating the potential for using entire chloroplast genomes as super-barcodes for further resolution of the phylogeny of the genus Horsfieldia.

TI A global database for metacommunity ecology, integrating species, traits, environment and space SO SCIENTIFIC DATA LA English DT Article ID PLANT FUNCTIONAL TRAITS; LIFE-HISTORY TRAITS; SPERMONDE-ARCHIPELAGO; COMMUNITY STRUCTURE; BIOLOGICAL TRAITS; DIVERSITY; VARIABLES; BIODIVERSITY; RESPONSES; MODELS AB The use of functional information in the form of species traits plays an important role in explaining biodiversity patterns and responses to environmental changes. Although relationships between species composition, their traits, and the environment have been extensively studied on a case-by-case basis, results are variable, and it remains unclear how generalizable these relationships are across ecosystems, taxa and spatial scales. To address this gap, we collated 80 datasets from trait-based studies into a global database for metaCommunity Ecology: Species, Traits, Environment and Space; "CESTES". Each dataset includes four matrices: species community abundances or presences/absences across multiple sites, species trait information, environmental variables and spatial coordinates of the sampling sites. The CESTES database is a live database: it will be maintained and expanded in the future as new datasets become available. By its harmonized structure, and the diversity of ecosystem types, taxonomic groups, and spatial scales it covers, the CESTES database provides an important opportunity for synthetic trait-based research in community ecology.

However, turnover in plant species composition across space also contributes to biodiversity at larger spatial scales (beta-diversity). Despite mounting evidence that enemies can maintain alpha-diversity, we know little about their contributions to beta-diversity. Additionally, in the light of widespread habitat fragmentation and potentially modified insect and pathogen communities in forest fragments, the effects of fragment area on their diversity-maintaining roles are largely unknown. We carried out a field experiment to investigate how natural enemies in impact tree alpha and beta-diversity in a fragmented rainforest landscape in the Western Ghats, India. In 21 rainforest fragments, we suppressed insects and fungi/oomycetes with pesticides, and examined changes in the diversity of tree seedlings. We found that fungicide had no effect on alpha-diversity, but significantly decreased beta-diversity (species turnover among plots). The facilitative effects of fungi and oomycetes on beta-diversity, however, weakened as fragments decreased in area, indicating that certain specialized plant-pathogen interactions may be lost when fragments become smaller. Insecticide, in contrast, increased alpha-diversity but tended to decrease beta-diversity between distant plots. In summary, we found that interactions between plants and their natural enemies help maintain beta-diversity in large forest fragments but not in small fragments. Small fragments are often viewed as future reservoirs of biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes, but our findings suggest that modified interactions with natural enemies may result in the erosion of this diversity over time.

TI Managing Oil Palm Plantations More Sustainably: Large-Scale Experiments Within the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function in Tropical Agriculture (BEFTA) Programme SO FRONTIERS IN FORESTS AND GLOBAL CHANGE LA English DT Article DE biodiversity; habitat heterogeneity; palm oil; plantation management; sustainability; tropical agriculture; riparian buffer; understory vegetation ID HABITAT HETEROGENEITY; DIVERSITY; LAND; INTENSIFICATION; IMPACTS; FORESTS; MICROCLIMATE; ASSEMBLAGES; LANDSCAPES; ENRICHMENT AB Conversion of tropical forest to agriculture results in reduced habitat heterogeneity, and associated declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Management strategies to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes have therefore often focused on increasing habitat complexity; however, the large-scale, long-term ecological experiments that are needed to test the effects of these strategies are rare in tropical systems. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)-one of the most widespread and important tropical crops-offers substantial potential for developing wildlife-friendly management strategies because of its long rotation cycles and tree-like structure. Although there is awareness of the need to increase sustainability, practical options for how best to manage oil palm plantations, for benefits to both the environment and crop productivity, have received little research attention. In this paper we introduce the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function in Tropical Agriculture (BEFTA) Programme: a long-term research collaboration between academia and industry in Sumatra, Indonesia. The BEFTA Programme aims to better understand the oil palm agroecosystem and test sustainability strategies. We hypothesise that adjustments to oil palm management could increase structural complexity, stabilise microclimate, and reduce reliance on chemical inputs, thereby helping to improve levels of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. The Programme has established four major components: (1) assessing variability within the plantation under business-as-usual conditions; (2) the BEFTA Understory Vegetation Project, which tests the effects of varying herbicide regimes; (3) the Riparian Ecosystem Restoration in Tropical Agriculture (RERTA) Project, which tests strategies for restoring riparian habitat; and (4) support for additional collaborative projects within the Programme landscape. Across all projects, we are measuring environmental conditions, biodiversity, and ecosystem functions. We also measure oil palm yield and production costs, in order to assess whether suggested sustainability strategies are feasible from an agronomic perspective. Early results show that oil palm plantation habitat is more variable than might be expected from a monoculture crop, and that everyday vegetation management decisions have significant impacts on habitat structure. The BEFTA Programme highlights the value of large-scale collaborative projects for understanding tropical agricultural systems, and offers a highly valuable experimental set-up for improving our understanding of practices to manage oil palm more sustainably.

Strong chemical defense against herbivorous insects is supposed to be one of the successful invasive mechanisms of this exotic plant. However, the real defense components and their action mechanisms and distributions are still unknown. To address these problems, we bioassay-guided isolated compounds from the aerial part of S. rostratum and determined their structures using high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and electronic circular dichroism calculation. One new and seven known compounds were identified, and all of the isolates exhibited different levels of antifeedant activities, especially compounds 1 and 4. Consistently, compounds 1 and 4 displayed potent inhibitory effects on antifeedant-related enzymes (AchE and CarE). The action mechanisms of active compounds 1 and 4 were revealed by molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation studies. Furthermore, the distributions of the active compounds in leaves, stems, and flowers were also analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

A total of 22 tubes of Ceriantharia from Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Norway, Portugal and the United States were analysed, revealing 58 species of marine invertebrates using them as alternative substrates. Based on a literature review and analyses of the sampled material, we report new occurrences for Photis sarae (Crustacea), Microgaza rotella (Mollusca), Brada sp., Dipolydora spp., Notocirrus spp., and Syllis garciai (Annelida). The use of mollusc shells in tube construction increases the tubes' structural resistance and strength. Ceriantharian tubes are suitable alternative substrates for the dwelling of numerous tubicolous and infaunal species that usually burrow into sediments or anchor on fixed or mobile habitats seeking shelter, thus playing a relevant role as local biodiversity hotspots.

The author examined aggregate trends in the mental well-being of NHW children between 2003 and 2018. Methods: The author used linear (unadjusted) regression to generate estimates of long period (ie, between 2003-2005 and 2016-2018) and annual change in mental well-being and self-assessed health from the National Health Interview Survey data on 68 057 NHW children (aged 4-17 years). Results: The NHW children showed no significant change in any of the tracked indicators (composite Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire [SDQ] 5-item score: long period: -0.03, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.09 to 0.02, annual: -0.00, 95% CI: -0.01 to 0.00; severe impairment in mental function: long period: 0.01, 95% CI: 0.00 to 0.02; subjective perception of overall health: long period: -0.01, 95% CI: -0.01 to -0.00). The author did not detect any gradient of worsening SDQ scores with parental midlife status and low parental education. However, the trends in SDQ scores in NHW children were slightly worse than those for children of other major race/ethnic groups, Conclusion: The author did not find evidence of worsening mental distress in NHW children overall or whose parents were in their midlives and less educated.

This information is challenging to obtain at landscape scales across range-wide extents for two main reasons. First, landscape-scale processes that affect populations vary throughout the year and across species' ranges, requiring high-resolution, year-round data across broad, sometimes hemispheric, spatial extents. Second, while citizen science projects can collect data at these resolutions and extents, using these data requires appropriate analysis to address known sources of bias. Here, we present an analytical framework to address these challenges and generate year-round, range-wide distributional information using citizen science data. To illustrate this approach, we apply the framework to Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), a long-distance Neotropical migrant and species of conservation concern, using data from the citizen science project eBird. We estimate occurrence and abundance across a range of spatial scales throughout the annual cycle. Additionally, we generate intra-annual estimates of the range, intra-annual estimates of the associations between species and characteristics of the landscape, and interannual trends in abundance for breeding and non-breeding seasons. The range-wide population trajectories for Wood Thrush show a close correspondence between breeding and non-breeding seasons with steep declines between 2010 and 2013 followed by shallower rates of decline from 2013 to 2016. The breeding season range-wide population trajectory based on the independently collected and analyzed North American Breeding Bird Survey data also shows this pattern. The information provided here fills important knowledge gaps for Wood Thrush, especially during the less studied migration and non-breeding periods. More generally, the modeling framework presented here can be used to accurately capture landscape scale intra- and interannual distributional dynamics for broadly distributed, highly mobile species.

To prevent the further loss of biodiversity, it is urgent to understand the mechanisms behind this loss to develop evidence-based sustainable solutions to preserve biodiversity in urban landscapes. The two extreme urban development types along a continuum, land-sparing (large, continuous green areas and high-density housing) and land-sharing (small, fragmented green areas and low-density housing) have been the recent focus of debates regarding the pattern of urban development. However, in this context, there is no information on the mechanisms behind the observed biodiversity changes. One of the main mechanisms proposed to explain urban biodiversity loss is the alteration of predator-prey interactions. Using ground-nesting birds as a model system and data from nine European cities, we experimentally tested the effects of these two extreme urban development types on artificial ground nest survival and whether nest survival correlates with the local abundance of ground-nesting birds and their nest predators. Nest survival (n = 554) was lower in land-sharing than in land-sparing urban areas. Nest survival decreased with increasing numbers of local predators (cats and corvids) and with nest visibility. Correspondingly, relative abundance of ground-nesting birds was greater in land-sparing than in land-sharing urban areas, though overall bird species richness was unaffected by the pattern of urban development. We provide the first evidence that predator-prey interactions differ between the two extreme urban development types. Changing interactions may explain the higher proportion of ground-nesting birds in land-sparing areas, and suggest a limitation of the land-sharing model. Nest predator control and the provision of more green-covered urban habitats may also improve conservation of sensitive birds in cities. Our findings provide information on how to further expand our cities without severe loss of urban-sensitive species and give support for land-sparing over land-sharing urban development.

Why do some traits trade off but others are coexpressed? Why might some trait associations hold across levels of organization, from individuals and genotypes to populations and species, whereas others only occur at one level? Understanding such scaling is a core biological problem, bearing on the evolution of ecological strategies as well as forecasting responses to environmental change. Explicitly considering the hierarchy of biodiversity and expectations at each scale (individual change, evolution within and among populations, and species turnover) is necessary as we work toward a predictive framework in evolutionary ecology. Within species, a trait may have an association with another trait because of phenotypic plasticity, genetic correlation, or population-level local adaptation. Plastic responses are often adaptive and yet individuals have a fixed pool of resources; thus, positive and negative trait associations can be generated by immediate environmental needs and energetic demands. Genetic variation and covariation for traits within a population are typically shaped by varying natural selection in space and time. Although genetic correlations are infrequently long-term constraints, they may indicate competing organismal demands. Traits are often quantitatively differentiated among populations (local adaptation), although selection rarely favors qualitatively different strategies until populations become reproductively isolated. Across species, niche specialization to particular habitats or biotic interactions may determine trait correlations, a subset of which are termed "strategic trade-offs" because they are a consequence of adaptive specialization. Across scales, constraints within species often do not apply as new species evolve, and conversely, trait correlations observed across populations or species may not be reflected within populations. I give examples of such scale-dependent trait associations and their causes across taxonomic groups and ecosystems, and in the final section of the paper, I specifically evaluate leaf economics spectrum traits and their associations with plant defense against herbivory. Scale-dependent predictions emerge for understanding plant ecology holistically, and this approach can be fruitfully applied more generally in evolutionary ecology. Adaptive specialization and community context are two of the primary drivers of trade-offs and syndromes across biological scales.

However, we still lack a synthetic understanding of the underlying mechanisms behind these changes, such as whether earthworm effects on soil chemical properties drive such relationships. Here, we investigated the effects of invasive earthworms on soil chemical properties (pH, water content, and the stocks and fluxes of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) by conducting a meta-analysis. Invasive earthworms generally increased soil pH, indicating that the removal of organic layers and the upward transport of more base-rich mineral soil caused a shift in soil pH. Moreover, earthworms significantly decreased soil water content, suggesting that the burrowing activities of earthworms may have increased water infiltration of and/or increased evapotranspiration from soil. Notably, invasive earthworms had opposing effects on organic and mineral soil for carbon and nitrogen stocks, with decreases in organic, and increases in mineral soil. Nitrogen fluxes were higher in mineral soil, whereas fluxes in organic soil were not significantly affected by the presence of invasive earthworms, indicating that earthworms mobilize and redistribute nutrients among soil layers and increase overall nitrogen loss from the soil. Invasive earthworm effects on element stocks increased with ecological group richness only in organic soil. Earthworms further decreased ammonium stocks with negligible effects on nitrate stocks in organic soil, whereas they increased nitrate stocks but not ammonium stocks in mineral soil. Notably, all of these results were consistent across forest and grassland ecosystems underlining the generality of our findings. However, we found some significant differences between studies that were conducted in the field (observational and experimental settings) and in the lab, such as that the effects on soil pH decreased from field to lab settings, calling for a careful interpretation of lab findings. Our meta-analysis provides strong empirical evidence that earthworm invasion may lead to substantial changes in soil chemical properties and element cycling in soil. Furthermore, our results can help explain the dramatic effects of invasive earthworms on native biodiversity, for example, shifts towards the dominance of grass species over herbaceous ones, as shown by recent meta-analyses.

The loss of this vital habitat is resulting in a reduction of biodiversity, and this likely has consequences for ecosystem functioning, especially if functional diversity is reduced. A considerable amount of research has been done on predictors of beetle taxonomic diversity in veteran oaks, but predictors of functional diversity have remained largely unexplored. The aim of this study was to establish whether the features and surroundings of veteran oaks are related to functional diversity within three functional groups of beetles (decomposers, predators, and flower visitors) and determine whether species richness and functional diversity within the groups are dependent on the same predictors. Sampling was carried out intermittently between 2004 and 2011 on 61 veteran oaks in Southern Norway. Of the 876 beetle species that were collected, 359 were determined to be decomposers, 284 were predators, and 85 were flower visitors. Species richness and functional diversity in all groups were consistently higher in traps mounted on veteran oaks in forests than in open landscapes. However, additional predictors differed between groups, and for species richness and functional diversity. Decomposer species richness responded to tree vitality, while functional diversity responded to habitat connectivity, predator species richness responded to regrowth of shrubs while functional diversity responded to tree circumference, and flower visitor richness and functional diversity did not respond to any additional predictors. Previous studies have found that the features and surroundings of veteran oaks are important for conservation of taxonomic diversity, and the results from this study indicate that they are also important for functional diversity within multiple functional groups.

The two approaches align when rare species provide ecosystem services, or when both groups of species benefit from the same management action. We use data on bee pollinators and the plant species they forage on to determine if there are rare species among the most important crop pollinators, and the extent to which plant species selected to support crop pollinators would support rare species as well. We used pre-existing, regional-scale datasets to determine which bee species are regionally rare, and which are regionally important crop pollinators. To assess the plant preferences of these two groups of bee species, we collected two datasets on plant-pollinator interactions, one experimental and one observational. The experiment consisted of monospecific plots of 17 plant species from which we collected bees over 3 years. The observational data consisted of bees collected from 66 species of plants growing in semi-natural meadows, also over 3 years. Nineteen percent of the dominant crop-pollinating species were regionally rare. Both rare species and crop-pollinating species had strong preferences for certain plants, and the preferences of rare and crop-pollinating bees were significantly but not strongly (r <= .54) correlated. Ten plant species were significantly preferred by both rare and crop-pollinating bees. Synthesis and applications. We found several dominant crop pollinators that are rare at a regional scale, supporting the idea that rare species can be important providers of ecosystem services. The flower preferences of rare and crop-pollinating bees are significantly positively associated, suggesting that plants chosen to support crop pollinators will benefit rare species as well. We identify plant species that are preferred by regionally rare bees and by crop pollinators, including 10 plant species preferred by both types of bees, and recommend these for use in pollinator habitat plantings.

These altered interactions, in turn, may exert diversity-driven selection pressure to which plants respond with phenotypic changes. Diverse plant communities may favour the survival and fitness of individuals with traits that avoid competition. Conversely, monocultures may accumulate species-specific pests favouring greater investment in defence traits. Yet, it is unknown how altered plant rhizosphere interactions influence the plant diversity-driven selection for altered plant phenotypes. We tested for plant diversity-driven selection on plant above-ground traits and how these traits are modified by their rhizosphere microbial communities after 11 years in experimental plant monocultures and mixtures. Plants propagated from monocultures or mixtures were grown in combination with their 'home' versus 'away' arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) or non-AMF microbes in two separate experiments using five and eight plant species, respectively. We hypothesized that plants in monocultures may be selected for better defence and better performance in association with rhizosphere microbial communities compared with plants in mixtures. Monoculture and mixture plants significantly differed in their above-ground phenotypes. As predicted, plant traits related to defence (greater leaf mass per area and leaf dry matter content, reduced leaf damage) were more pronounced in monoculture plants in both experiments. Effects of the rhizosphere microbial communities, which generally enhanced plant growth, tended to be species-specific. Significant three-way interactions between diversity-driven selection, AMF treatment and plant species showed that home versus away effects could be positive or negative, depending on plant species. We conclude that long-term differences in plant diversity lead to selection for altered plant phenotypes. Such differences may be further modified in association with the AMF microbial communities derived from the different plant diversity treatments, but often outcomes are species-specific. This suggests that plant species differ in their capacity to respond to diversity loss and associated changes in rhizosphere microbial communities, making it complicated to predict community-level responses to such loss.

Araucaria angustifolia is a native tree to the Atlantic Forest, which has been largely exploited for wood production and is currently cultivated in commercial plantations. An important question is to what extent such native tree plantations can be managed to reduce biodiversity loss in a highly diverse and vulnerable forest region. We evaluated the effect of stand age, stand basal area, as a measure of stand density, and time since last logging on the density and richness of native tree regeneration in planted araucaria stands that were successively logged over 60 years, as well as the differences between successional groups in the response of plant density to stand variables. We also compared native tree species richness in planted araucaria stands to neighbouring native forest. Species richness was 71 in the planted stands (27 ha sampled) and 82 in native forest (18 ha sampled) which approximate the range of variation in species richness found in the native forests of the study area. The total abundance and species richness of native trees increased with stand age and time since last logging, but ecological groups differed in their response to such variables. Early secondary trees increased in abundance with stand age 3-8 times faster than climax or late secondary trees. Thus, the change in species composition is expected to continue for a long term. The difference in species richness between native forest and planted stands might be mainly explained by the difference in plant density. Therefore, species richness in plantations can contribute to local native tree diversity if practices that increase native tree density are implemented.

Brown (Rattus norvegicus) and black rats (R. rattus) are among the most invasive animals on the planet, with eradication being the primary tool for established island populations. The need for increased research for defining eradication units and monitoring outcomes has been highlighted as a means to maximize success. Haida Gwaii is an archipelago similar to 100 km off the northern coast of British Columbia, Canada, that hosts globally significant breeding populations of seabirds that are at risk due to invasive rats. Here, we paired sampling of brown (n = 287) and black (n = 291) rats across the Haida Gwaii archipelago with genotyping by sequencing (10,770-27,686 SNPs) to investigate patterns of population connectivity and infer levels/direction of gene flow among invasive rat populations in Haida Gwaii. We reconstructed three regional clusters for both species (north, central and south), with proximate populations within regions being largely more related than those that were more distant, consistent with predictions from island biogeography theory. Population assignment of recently detected individuals post-eradication on Faraday, Murchison and the Bischof Islands revealed all were re-invaders from Lyell Island, rather than being on-island survivors. Based on these results, we identified six eradication units constituting single or clusters of islands that would limit the potential for reinvasion, some of which will need to be combined with biosecurity measures. Overall, our results highlight the importance of targeted research prior to conducting eradications and demonstrate a framework for applying population genomics for guiding invasive species management in island systems.

Methods Salivary samples were obtained from twenty-five adult patients receiving Invisalign aligner treatment before the treatment (Group B) and at a 6-month follow-up (Group P). The bacterial composition of each sample was determined using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA. Intra- and intergroup biodiversity was analyzed. Clinical periodontal parameters and daily oral hygiene habits were recorded. Results Reduction in plaque, increased daily brushing frequency, and decreased dessert intake were observed in Group P compared with that in Group B. A total of 1,853,952 valid reads were obtained from the 50 salivary samples, with 37,904 sequences per sample. No significant differences were detected in the intra- and intergroup biodiversity comparisons between the two groups. By clustering, 8,885 OTUs were identified and categorized into six major phyla: Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Fusobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Candidate_division_TM7_norank. At the genus level, compared with Group B, Group P demonstrated significantly increased Bacillus abundance and decreased Prevotella abundance. Conclusions Our results suggested that the general biodiversity and salivary microbial community structure did not change significantly and that patients had increased beneficial oral hygiene habits and awareness during the first six months of Invisalign treatment. Hence, on the basis of this study, it appears that Invisalign aligner treatment did not induce deterioration of oral health nor significant biodiversity changes in oral bacterial communities, assuming that detailed oral hygiene instructions for both teeth and aligners were provided.

Mortality outcomes for patients undergoing maintenance dialysis in the United States territories may differ from patients in the United States 50 states. Design, setting, participants,& measurements This retrospective cohort study of using US Renal Data System data included 1,547,438 adults with no prior transplantation and first dialysis treatment between April 1, 1995 and September 28, 2012. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) of death for the territories versus 50 states for each racial/ethnic group using the whole cohort and covariate-matched samples. Covariates included demographics, year of dialysis initiation, cause of kidney failure, comorbid conditions, dialysis modality, and many others. Results Of 22,828 patients treated in the territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands), 321 were white, 666 were black, 20,299 were Hispanic, and 1542 were Asian. Of 1,524,610 patients in the 50 states, 838,736 were white, 444,066 were black, 182,994 were Hispanic, and 58,814 were Asian. The crude mortality rate (deaths per 100 patient-years) was lower for whites in the territories than the 50 states (14 and 29, respectively), similar for blacks (18 and 17, respectively), higher for Hispanics (27 and 16, respectively), and higher for Asians (22 and 15). In matched analyses, greater risks of death remained for Hispanics (HR, 1.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.60 to 1.70; P<0.001) and Asians (HR, 2.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.78 to 2.27; P<0.001) living in the territories versus their matched 50 states counterparts. There were no significant differences inmortality among white or black patients in the territories versus the 50 states. Conclusions Mortality rates for patients undergoing dialysis in the United States territories differ substantially by race/ethnicity compared with the 50 states. After matched analyses for comparable age and risk factors, mortality risk no longer differed for whites or blacks, but remained much greater for territory-dwelling Hispanics and Asians.

However, the reference database of DNA barcode sequences is particularly sparsely populated for marine invertebrates and for tropical taxa. We used samples collected as part of two field courses, focused on graduate training in taxonomy and systematics, to generate DNA sequences of the barcode fragments of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and mitochondrial ribosomal 16S genes for 447 individuals, representing at least 129 morphospecies of decapod crustaceans. COI sequences for 36% (51/140) of the species and 16S sequences for 26% (37/140) of the species were new to GenBank. Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery identified 140 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) which largely coincided with the morphospecies delimitations. Barcode identifications (i.e. matches to identified sequences) were especially useful for OTUs within Synalpheus, a group that is notoriously difficult to identify and rife with cryptic species, a number of which we could not identify to species, based on morphology. Non-concordance between morphospecies and barcode OTUs also occurred in a few cases of suspected cryptic species. As mitochondrial pseudogenes are particularly common in decapods, we investigate the potential for this dataset to include pseudogenes and discuss the utility of these sequences as species identifiers (i.e. barcodes). These results demonstrate that material collected and identified during training activities can provide useful incidental barcode reference samples for under-studied taxa. C1 [Ponton, Dagoberto E.

Importantly, these dynamics are often studied and discussed without an emphasis on cultural evolution, despite its potential importance for past and present biodiversity dynamics. Here, we investigate whether cultural filtering, defined as the impact of cultural evolution on species presence, has driven the range dynamics of five historically widespread megafauna taxa (Asiatic elephant, rhinoceroses, tiger, Asiatic black bear, and brown bear) across China over the past 2 millennia. Data on megafauna and sociocultural history were compiled from Chinese administrative records. While faunal dynamics in China are often linked to climate change at these time scales, our results reveal cultural filtering as the dominant driver of range contractions in all five taxa. This finding suggests that the millennia-long spread of agricultural land and agricultural intensification, often accompanied by expansion of the Han culture, has been responsible for the extirpation of these megafauna species from much of China. Our results suggest that cultural filtering is important for understanding society's role in the assembly of contemporary communities from historical regional species pools. Our study provides direct evidence that cultural evolution since ancient times has overshadowed climate change in shaping broadscale megafauna biodiversity patterns, reflecting the strong and increasing importance of sociocultural processes in the biosphere.

Success in facing this problem may be possible through the engagement of younger audiences. Here, a game was designed to teach children how to recognize invasive seaweed and to encourage them to participate in marine citizen science. The game was first tested in a pilot study, and then carried out in Salinas High School (Asturias, Spain). Game-based training consisted of an explanation of invasive species, followed by the 'Find invasive seaweed' game and was evaluated with tests before and after the activity. After training, students spent 3 months looking for invasive species. Four invasive species were detected in the study area. The results showed a positive impact on knowledge gains and significant differences in marine environmental awareness and conservation actions.

This study examined factors associated with an invitation to participate in biomedical research, intent to participate in biomedical research in the future, and participation in biomedical research and biospecimen donation among a diverse, multilingual, community-based sample across 3 distinct geographic areas. Methods Three National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers engaged in community partnerships to develop and implement population health assessments, reaching a convenience sample of 4343 participants spanning their respective catchment areas. Data harmonization, multiple imputation, and multivariable logistic modeling were used. Results African Americans, Hispanic/Latinos, and other racial minority groups were more likely to be offered opportunities to participate in biomedical research compared to whites. Access to care, history of cancer, educational level, survey language, nativity, and rural residence also influenced opportunity, intent, and actual participation in biomedical research. Conclusions Traditionally underserved racial and ethnic groups reported heightened opportunity and interest in participating in biomedical research. Well-established community partnerships and long-standing community engagement around biomedical research led to a diverse sample being reached at each site and may in part explain the current study findings. However, this study illustrates an ongoing need to establish trust and diversify biomedical research participation through innovative and tailored approaches. National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers have the potential to increase opportunities for diverse participation in biomedical research through community partnerships and engagement. Additional work remains to identify and address system-level and individual-level barriers to participation in both clinical trials and biospecimen donation for research.

However, little is known about the reliability of assigned traits and the consistency of trait information among different databases currently in use. Using 99 native and alien Iberian inland fish species, we investigated a total of 27 biological and ecological traits for their consistency among 19 different databases and identified less reliable traits, that is, traits with high disagreement among databases. Specifically, we used generalised linear models and inter-rater reliability statistics (Krippendorff's alpha) to test for differences in trait values among databases. We also identified well-studied versus data-deficient traits and species. Our results show notable discrepancies and low reliability for several biological and ecological traits such as microhabitat preference, omnivory, invertivory, rheophily, and limnophily. Least reliable traits were mainly categorical (rather than continuous) and established by expert judgment and without a clear definition or a common methodology. Interestingly, categorical traits such as rheophily or limnophily, which showed significantly lower reliability, concurrently showed higher data availability and use than continuously scaled traits. Such uncertainties in trait assignments could affect bioassessment and other ecological analyses. Species with smaller distributional ranges and those that have been described more recently, presented lower coverage and data availability in trait databases. We encourage further standardisation of fish trait measurement protocols to help improve the robust application of bioassessment indices and trait-based approaches.

TI Using Death Certificates to Explore Changes in Alcohol-Related Mortality in the United States, 1999 to 2017 SO ALCOHOLISM-CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Alcohol; Death; Mortality; Cause of Death; Trend ID RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION; TRENDS; CONSUMPTION; FALLS; CONSEQUENCES; DESPAIR AB Background Alcohol consumption, alcohol-related emergency department visits, and hospitalizations have all increased in the last 2 decades, particularly among women and people middle-aged and older. The purpose of this study was to explore data from death certificates to assess whether parallel changes in alcohol-related mortality occurred in the United States in recent years. Methods U.S. mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics were analyzed to estimate the annual number and rate of alcohol-related deaths by age, sex, race, and ethnicity between 1999 and 2017 among people aged 16+. Mortality data contained details from all death certificates filed nationally. For each death, an underlying cause and up to 20 multiple or contributing causes were indicated. Deaths were identified as alcohol-related if an alcohol-induced cause was listed as either an underlying or multiple cause. Joinpoint analyses were performed to assess temporal trends. Results The number of alcohol-related deaths per year among people aged 16+ doubled from 35,914 to 72,558, and the rate increased 50.9% from 16.9 to 25.5 per 100,000. Nearly 1 million alcohol-related deaths (944,880) were recorded between 1999 and 2017. In 2017, 2.6% of roughly 2.8 million deaths in the United States involved alcohol. Nearly half of alcohol-related deaths resulted from liver disease (30.7%; 22,245) or overdoses on alcohol alone or with other drugs (17.9%; 12,954). Rates of alcohol-related deaths were highest among males, people in age-groups spanning 45 to 74 years, and among non-Hispanic (NH) American Indians or Alaska Natives. Rates increased for all age-groups except 16 to 20 and 75+ and for all racial and ethnic groups except for initial decreases among Hispanic males and NH Blacks followed by increases. The largest annual increase occurred among NH White females. Rates of acute alcohol-related deaths increased more for people aged 55 to 64, but rates of chronic alcohol-related deaths, which accounted for the majority of alcohol-related deaths, increased more for younger adults aged 25 to 34. Conclusions Death certificates suggest that alcohol-related mortality increased in the United States between 1999 and 2017. Given previous reports that death certificates often fail to indicate the contribution of alcohol, the scope of alcohol-related mortality in the United States is likely higher than suggested from death certificates alone. Findings confirm an increasing burden of alcohol on public health and support the need for improving surveillance of alcohol-involved mortality.

TI High roadkill rates in the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai World Heritage Site: conservation implications of a rising threat to wildlife SO ANIMAL CONSERVATION LA English DT Article; Early Access DE road ecology; road mortality; roadkill; wildlife-vehicle collisions; Thailand ID NATIONAL-PARK; MORTALITY; ROADS; DIVERSITY; PATTERNS; MOVEMENT; IMPACTS; INFRASTRUCTURE; VULNERABILITY; BIODIVERSITY AB Road networks are increasing globally, and as such incur increased pressure on wildlife communities. Large-scale road expansion and infrastructure development occurring throughout Asia (i.e. Belt and Road Initiative) will affect hundreds of threatened species, leading to an increase in wildlife-vehicle collisions. However, only a limited number of studies have quantified road mortality within this threatened landscape. To rectify this, we monitored the spatial-temporal patterns of vertebrate roadkill in the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai forest complex, an UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Thailand, considered a refuge for many globally threatened species. We ran 100 standardized road surveys between 2015 and 2017, on a 47.8-km highway transect currently being expanded, and recorded a total of 1395 casualties from 124 species. After correcting for removal time and detection probability, we estimated an average of 9688 vertebrate mortalities per year. We observed a mortality peak during the dry season for almost all taxonomic groups, due to a combination of high bird and bat mortality events. All taxa showed significant spatial clustering, highlighting high-risk road sections. We modelled the road and landscape features most likely to lead to higher mortality rates, disentangling small-scale (250-500 m from road) from large-scale effects (1000-2500 m). We recorded lower mortality rates and species diversity near forest sites in protected areas, representing either lower crossing events due to habitat quality or an already depleted environment. Spatial analyses provided information on hotspots and landscape factors, which can be used to inform future mitigations at multiple scales throughout the Southeast Asia region. Our study provides a baseline of the direct road impacts on vertebrate species in a tropical biodiversity hotspot, and we suggest that more studies be conducted to fully assess the direct road effects on the many threatened species in this landscape.

We use the Mexican orchid trade to illustrate an interdisciplinary approach to provide novel insight on conservation strategies and policies. We synthesize studies of orchid markets, national orchid confiscation records, CITES registers, and global population dynamics studies to document trade patterns and potential ecological impacts. We found 333 wild-harvested orchid taxa illegally traded in domestic markets. Clear patterns emerged: 90% were epiphytic and <4% traded in high volumes, all of which had pseudobulbs and bloomed during cultural festivals. Most sales were pseudobulbs, not whole plants. Review of demographic studies indicates whole-plant harvest is unviable but simulations show potential for sustainable harvest of pseudobulbs. The combination of social and ecological findings suggests a novel multipronged approach to improve conservation, including selective monitoring, enforcement focused on whole-plant harvest, and community-based wild harvest of pseudobulbs.

Methods We studied 153 Japanese children with type 1 diabetes, including 124 children positive for beta-cell autoantibodies, and their 71 unaffected siblings. The number of circulating microchimeric cells per 10(5) host cells was estimated by the use of quantitative-polymerase chain reaction targeting non-transmitted maternal human leukocyte antigen alleles. The results were compared to previous data from white European people. Phenotypic comparison was performed between maternal microchimerism carriers and non-carriers with diabetes. Results Maternal microchimerism was detected in 15% of children with autoantibody-positive type 1 diabetes, 28% of children with autoantibody-negative type 1 diabetes, and 16% of unaffected siblings. There were no differences in the prevalence or levels of maternal microchimerism among the three groups or between the children with type 1 diabetes and their unaffected siblings. Furthermore, maternal microchimerism carriers and non-carriers exhibited similar phenotypes. Conclusions Maternal microchimerism appears to be less common in Japanese children with type 1 diabetes than in white European people. Our data indicate that maternal microchimerism is unlikely to be a major trigger or a phenotypic determinant of type 1 diabetes in Japanese children and that the biological significance of maternal microchimerism in type 1 diabetes may differ among ethnic groups.

Scholarship on learning and education in ecotourism has accordingly focused mostly on visitor learning about wildlife, biodiversity and adventure experiences in 'pristine' natural ecosystems. By contrast, community-based ecotourism (CBE) involves local and Indigenous communities living within natural environments. CBE aims not only to preserve natural environments, but also to conserve the traditional cultures of the peoples living within them. CBE involves visitors in longer term village homestays, local guides, and environmental, livelihood and cultural learning. It has also recently become an important area of study. However, while learning by CBE homestay hosts and guides is equally important, it is mostly unstudied to date. This paper reports on an empirical, interpretive case study of the transformative learning of CBE hosts in a rainforest-based CBE project in Chambok, Cambodia. Findings show that CBE hosts experienced transformations in their worldviews and self-identities in relation to three areas of transformative learning: environmental conservation, gender roles and local culture. These are three areas of learning beneficial to both hosts and communities, and key to the success of CBE. As such, they might well be encouraged in other CBE projects.

However, urban greening is complex, as it occurs in unique ecological settings, with social, cultural and economic factors shaping the forms it takes. This raises questions about the governance of urban greening, including what counts as 'good governance'. In this paper, we first outline principles of good governance drawn from the natural resource management context. We then present four urban greening initiatives from Melbourne Australia representing different scales, land tenures and organising structures. Following this, we analyse how governance of the four initiatives addresses good governance principles. Our analysis shows that there are diverse ways in which urban greening can be practiced and governed. The importance of more 'informal' initiatives should not be discounted relative to formalised initiatives, as a spectrum of approaches can be seen as strength. Further, in determining what constitutes good governance, the standards against which initiatives are assessed should be tailored to their specific circumstances, and consider impacts to the environment itself. These findings point to good urban greening governance being both situated and principled. C1 [Coffey, Brian; Mumaw, Laura; de Kleyn, Lisa] RMIT Univ, Ctr Urban Res, Melbourne, Vic, Australia.

It is commonly agreed that marine conservation should expand considerably around the world. However, most countries have not yet implemented large-scale no-take Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). When a country closes a large fraction of its waters to fishing, it stands to lose a considerable level of fishery revenue. Although biodiversity and spillover fishing benefits may far exceed these losses, benefits from large-scale MPAs typically accrue to other countries or to the high seas. Here, to overcome this dilemma, we simulate and test an international fisheries management scheme with transferable fishing rights that incentivizes, rather than hinders, large-scale marine conservation. By combining a bioeconomic model of cross-country trading of fishing rights with vessel-level tracking data before and after a large-scale conservation action is implemented, we show that transferable fishing rights and a biomass-based allocation rule are pivotal to incentivize conservation under this market-based setting. Our work focuses on the Vessel Day Scheme (VDS)-an environmental market that is employed by the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (a group of nine Pacific Island nations) to manage their tuna fisheries-and areas in which large-scale conservation interventions have taken place. Overall, these results provide a template for how to incentivize countries to engage in large-scale marine conservation within a market-based setting.

Design/methodology/approach Scholars from different disciplines investigate the sustainability of social-ecological systems from different perspectives. Such differences in the understanding of, and approaches to, sustainability have created ambiguity within the field and may weaken its effectiveness, impact and reputation as a field of research. To contribute to the discussion about sustainability definition, a survey was conducted involving university faculty members working in sustainability-related academic departments around the world. Participants' responses were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 involving descriptive and inferential statistics and principle component analysis. Additionally, responses to open-ended questions were qualitatively analyzed. Findings Factor analysis on sustainability definition items reveal four emergent universal definitions of sustainability, labeled as Environmentalism concerns, Common understanding, neo-Malthusian environmentalism and Sustainability as well-being. Statistical analyses indicate that individuals from developed countries are more likely to define sustainability as Environmentalism and Common understanding; however, individuals from developing countries tend to define sustainability as well-being. Also, more heavily engaged scholars in interdisciplinary research of sustainability are more likely to perceive sustainability as Common understanding. Logistic Regression models demonstrate a connection between epistemological perspectives of researchers and sustainability definitions. Qualitative content analysis indicates that interdisciplinarity and collaboration are the most common challenges to sustainability research. Originality/value The findings of this study demonstrate disconnects between scholars from developing and developed countries in understanding and defining sustainability, and these disconnects may present further challenges for global sustainability scholarship.

TI Marine Biodiversity and Geographic Distributions Are Independent on Large Scales SO CURRENT BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SPECIES-DIVERSITY; EXTINCTION RISK; COMPETITION; ECOLOGY; MACROEVOLUTIONARY; DYNAMICS; PASS; BRACHIOPODS; DISPERSAL; EVOLUTION AB Fundamental ecological and evolutionary theories, such as community saturation and diversity-dependent diversification, assume that biotic competition restricts resource use, and thus limits realized niche breadth and geographic range size [1-3]. This principle is called competitive exclusion. The corollary (ecological release) posits that, after competitors disappear from a region, species that were previously excluded will invade. Hundreds of field experiments have demonstrated ecological release in living populations. However, few of these studies were conducted in marine environments, and almost no work extended beyond 10 years and 1,000 km(2) [4, 5]. In limited investigation of marine taxa at larger spatiotemporal scales, macroecologists and paleobiologists have observed little evidence of competitive exclusion [6-9]. Here, we quantified spatial trends in the rich and densely sampled fossil history of brachiopods and bivalves, while accounting for inconsistent sampling coverage through time using a new method of spatial standardization. The number of potential competitors in a region did not explain the geographic distribution of constituent species or genera. Furthermore, although ecological release predicts species to expand after extinction events, survivors of intervals with net species loss expanded as rarely as species in other intervals. Regression model estimates indicated different spatial responses of brachiopods and bivalves, and of habitat specialists and generalists, but no effect from changes in number of potential competitors. Biotic competition may control the distribution of populations, but, on larger spatiotemporal scales, noncompetitive factors may have driven biogeographic patterns of brachiopods and bivalves.

Design/methodology/approach A qualitative interplay of theories, particularly structuration theory, applied to an interdisciplinary, communitarian and eco-centric perspective will be used to demonstrate the need for change: for researchers and practitioners to interact with other disciplines and adapt their professional, institutional and governance practices to incorporate biodiversity management and reporting within organizational structures. Findings Collective community action can be undertaken by aligning physical biodiversity and its setting with the interrelationship between external information structures, accountability and internal information structures, agent behaviour and the reporting of outcomes. This should assist in reducing the loss of species and richness triggered by unsound economic decision-making. Practical implications This is perhaps one of the few accounting studies which discuss theoretical frameworks for the integration of accounting/accountability systems and biological diversity information through a conceptual rethinking. Social implications This should assist in reducing the loss of species and richness triggered by unsound economic decision-making. Originality/value This paper re-opens the debate regarding the need for an alternative conceptual approach through which biodiversity management can be incorporated into the complexities of business interactions, and the social and natural systems, by using management accounting as a primary vehicle. This is perhaps one of the few accounting studies which discuss theoretical frameworks for the integration of accounting/accountability systems and biological diversity information through a conceptual rethinking.

Both the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and the Aichi Biodiversity Targets promote these aims. We evaluate implementation of ecosystem-based management in six case-study fisheries in which potential indirect impacts upon bird or mammal predators of fished stocks are well publicized and well studied. In particular, we consider the components needed to enable management strategies to respond to information from predator monitoring. Although such information is available in all case-studies, only one has a reference point defining safe ecological limits for predators and none has a method to adjust fishing activities in response to estimates of the state of the predator population. Reference points for predators have been developed outside the fisheries management context, but adoption by fisheries managers is hindered a lack of clarity about management objectives and uncertainty about how fishing affects predator dynamics. This also hinders the development of adjustment methods because these generally require information on the state of ecosystem variables relative to reference points. Nonetheless, most of the case-studies include precautionary measures to limit impacts on predators. These measures are not used tactically and therefore risk excessive restrictions on sustainable use. Adoption of predator reference points to inform tactical adjustment of precautionary measures would be an appropriate next step towards ecosystem-based management.

TI Importance of Indigenous Peoples' lands for the conservation of Intact Forest Landscapes SO FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article; Early Access ID TENURE AB Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) are critical strongholds for the environmental services that they provide, not least for their role in climate protection. On the basis of information about the distributions of IFLs and Indigenous Peoples' lands, we examined the importance of these areas for conserving the world's remaining intact forests. We determined that at least 36% of IFLs are within Indigenous Peoples' lands, making these areas crucial to the mitigation action needed to avoid catastrophic climate change. We also provide evidence that IFL loss rates have been considerably lower on Indigenous Peoples' lands than on other lands, although these forests are still vulnerable to clearing and other threats. World governments must recognize Indigenous Peoples' rights, including land tenure rights, to ensure that Indigenous Peoples play active roles in decision-making processes that affect IFLs on their lands. Such recognition is critical given the urgent need to reduce deforestation rates in the face of escalating climate change and global biodiversity loss.

For marine fish, marine protected areas (MPAs) often harbour more individuals, especially of species targeted by fisheries. But precise pathways of biodiversity change remain unclear. For example, how local-scale responses combine to affect regional biodiversity, important for managing spatial networks of MPAs, is not well known. Protection potentially influences three components of fish assemblages that determine how species accumulate with sampling effort and spatial scale: the total number of individuals, the relative abundance of species and within-species aggregation. Here, we examined the contributions of each component to species richness changes inside MPAs as a function of spatial scale. Using standardized underwater visual survey data, we measured the abundance and species richness of reef fishes in 43 protected and 41 fished sites in the Mediterranean Sea. At both local and regional scales, increased species evenness caused by added common species in MPAs compared to fished sites was the most important proximate driver of higher diversity. Site-to-site variation in the composition (i.e. beta-diversity) of common species was also higher among protected sites, and depended on sensitivity to exploitation. There were more abundant exploited species at regional scales than at local scales, reflecting a tendency for different protected sites to harbour different exploited species. In contrast, fewer abundant unexploited species were found at the regional scale than at the local scale, meaning that relative abundances at the regional scale were less even than at the local scale. Synthesis and applications. Although marine protected areas (MPAs) are known to strongly influence fish community abundance and biomass, we found that changes to the relative abundance of species (i.e. increased evenness) dominated the biodiversity response to protection. MPAs had more relatively common species, which in turn led to higher diversity for a given sampling effort. Moreover, higher beta-diversity of common species meant that local-scale responses were magnified at the regional scale due to site-to-site variation inside protected areas for exploited species. Regional conservation efforts can be strengthened by examining how multiple components of biodiversity respond to protection across spatial scales.

However, few studies have focused on these topics in regard to bryophytes. We aimed to (1) determine whether SIEs and a SAR with two thresholds and three different processes of species addition exist for bryophytes across continental islands and (2) test whether the SIE threshold tends to be high for stenoecious species with a high sensitivity to habitats and for those with relatively high resource requirements and low dispersal abilities. Location The Zhoushan Archipelago, China. Taxon Bryophytes. Methods We obtained species number data for five bryophyte categories (total bryophytes, total mosses, acrocarpous mosses, pleurocarpous mosses and liverworts) from 66 continental islands of the archipelago and analysed the dataset using 24 SAR models. According to Akaike's information criterion, we identified models suitable for revealing SARs and detecting SIEs among the five bryophyte categories. Results The power model was best for fitting SARs of all bryophyte categories except for pleurocarpous mosses. For detecting SIEs, the three-segmented model provided the best support for the five categories. There were obvious SIEs for the five bryophyte groups, with area thresholds of 0.11-1.42 km(2). The SIE threshold was much higher in liverworts than in mosses and in pleurocarpous mosses than in acrocarpous mosses. The second thresholds for the five categories were similar, ranging from 53.62 to 73.19 km(2). Main conclusions A unique SAR pattern with two area thresholds and three different dominant processes of species addition with island area was found for bryophytes across the continental islands. The second thresholds were not due to in situ speciation but were likely due to the high immigration of bryophytes from the mainland attributed to local residents. The SIE thresholds detected for the different categories of bryophytes indicated that the values tended to be low for species groups with low resource requirements and high dispersal abilities and high for those with a high sensitivity to habitat conditions, the latter indicating that areas for conservation purposes for species sensitive to habitats should be comparatively large.

Our study examines whether the same pattern of sentencing discrepancies is to be found with regard to offenses of omission, the prohibition of which imposes a legal duty to come to the aid of a victim; offenses that are based on social solidarity. The dataset includes all cases in which defendants were convicted of hit-and-run traffic offenses in Israel from 2001 to 2013. The surprising results show that hit-and-run drivers who belong to either the majority or minority ethnic group are likely to be sentenced to more severe punishments when the victim belongs to the same ethnic group than when the victim belongs to a different ethnic group.

The knowledge of which species are filtered and at which scale is important to gain a more mechanistic understanding of urban community assembly and to develop strategies to manage human impact on urban ecosystems. We investigate the ecological mechanisms shaping urban community assembly, taking into account changes across scales, taxa and urban green space types. Location City of Zurich, Switzerland. Taxon Carabid beetles and wild bees. Methods We use a large species occurrence and trait dataset with a high spatial resolution to assess the filtering effect of a medium-sized city on a regional pool of potential colonists. We then assess the filtering from the urban pool to five widely distributed types of urban green spaces. Results We found that our model city selects for functionally similar but taxonomically diverse bee and carabid beetle species from the regional species pool. Within the city, community assembly processes vary among green space types and taxa resulting in important changes in community taxonomic and functional composition. Main conclusions Our findings suggest that urban community assembly is a multi-scale process dominated by the strong environmental filtering from a regional to an urban species pool. This leads to the selection of species pre-adapted to urban conditions. Spatial habitat heterogeneity within and among UGS types can maintain an important taxonomic diversity within cities. However, increasing urban functional diversity would require stronger management efforts that consider regional ecological processes.

Here, we discuss highly divergent morphs of lake-dwelling fishes distributed across Mexico and Central America, originally recognized as members of different genera (Astyanax and "Bramocharax"). Recent phylogenetic studies, however, suggest these morphs group within the same genus and readily hybridize. Despite genetic similarities, Bramocharax morphs exhibit stark differences in cranial shape and dentition. We investigated the evolution of several cranial traits that vary across morphs collected from four lakes in Mexico and Nicaragua and discovered an ecomorphological cline from northern to southern lakes. Northern populations of sympatric morphs exhibit a similar cranial shape and tooth morphology. Southern populations of Bramocharax morphs, however, showed a larger disparity in maxillary teeth, length and frequency of unicuspid teeth, an elongated snout, and a streamlined cranium compared to Astyanax morphs. This divergence of craniofacial morphology likely evolved in association with differences in trophic niches. We discuss the morphological differences across the four lake systems in terms of geological history and trophic dynamics. In summary, our study suggests that Bramocharax morphs are likely locally adapted members derived from independent Astyanax lineages, highlighting an interesting parallel evolutionary pattern within the Astyanax genus.

In this paper, a novel Extended Environment Multimedia Modeling and Analysis System (EEMMS) for migration of pollutants from landfill through unsaturated site to groundwater is presented. The developed EEMMS consists of four pathways modules: air, landfill, unsaturated zone and groundwater zone. The finite element method in EEMMS framework is used to analyze these four pathways and the results are compared to the finite difference model and analytical model. The effectiveness of EEMMS has been verified through a case study of Trail Road landfill site. The simulation of uncertainty was conducted with a quantitative technique of Monte Carlo Method. The Risk Quotient (RQ) results show that the low-risk area covers 10,000 square meters, where the predicted concentrations of benzene are between 1 and 1.2 mu g L-1. However, the high-risk area covers almost 200,000 square meters. Contrary to FEM, the majority of the FDM and analytical predictions were too high and fell outside the high boundary of the experimental result. The EEMMS is a unique risk assessment tool that can be used for impacts on water resource quality, biodiversity, fate of pollutants in ecosystem, climate change, etc. C1 [Yuan, Jing] Yangtze Normal Univ, Green Intelligence Environm Sch, Chongqing, Peoples R China.

However, limited information is available regarding the effect of petroleum hydrocarbon (PH) contamination on soil bacterial diversity. Variations in the bacterial structure and composition after PH pollution were investigated by a combination of artificial simulated pollution and high-throughput DNA sequencing. The results demonstrated that the biodiversity of engine oil-contaminated soil samples was higher than that of diesel oil-contaminated soil samples, and 7 genera were identified from indigenous bacteria as potential oil degraders, including Sulfuritalea, Sphingomonas, Alkanindiges, Rhodococcus, Nocardioides, Rhodoplanes, and Actinobacteria_norank. We present a detailed profile of soil bacteria succession under different oil-pollution conditions, which may help in future studies of in-situ bioremediation in this region.

However, identification of drug leads within the immense biodiversity of living organisms is a challenging task that requires considerable time, labor, and computational resources as well as the application of modern analytical instruments. LC-MS platforms are widely used for both drug discovery and quality control of TMs and food supplements. Moreover, a large dataset generated during LC-MS analysis contains valuable information that could be extracted and handled by means of various data mining and statistical tools. Novel sophisticated LC-MS based approaches are being introduced every year. Therefore, this review is prepared for the scientists specialized in pharmacognosy and analytical chemistry of NPs as well as working in related areas, in order to navigate them in the world of diverse LC-MS based techniques and strategies currently employed for NP discovery and dereplication, quality control, pattern recognition and sample comparison, and also in targeted and untargeted metabolomic studies. The suggested classification system includes the following LC-MS based procedures: elemental composition determination, isotopic fine structure analysis, mass defect filtering, de novo identification, clustering of the compounds in Molecular Networking (MN), diagnostic fragment ion (or neutral loss) filtering, manual dereplication using MS/MS data, database-assisted peak annotation, annotation of spectral trees, MS fingerprinting, feature extraction, bucketing of LC-MS data, peak profiling, predicted metabolite screening, targeted quantification of biomarkers, quantitative analysis of multi-component system, construction of chemical fingerprints, multi-targeted and untargeted metabolite profiling.

The choice of crop species and planting density in cocoa AFS has an impact on the quantities and the economic value of the agricultural products sold and consumed by producers. We characterized 140 cocoa AFS in three main production areas in the Dominican Republic, together with farmer's management practices, to construct a typology of cocoa AFS based on their structure, and evaluate their performances. The sum of the sales of cocoa, other products, and self-consumption did not differ significantly among AFS types. However, a high degree of diversification combined with a high density of associated fruit species reduced cocoa sales, but increased fruit sales and self-consumption. In contrast, a low diversity of associated plants including nitrogen-fixing trees increased cocoa sales but reduced fruit sales and self-consumption. The highest economic performance was obtained with intermediate diversity (three to seven species) and density (100-400 associated plants ha(-1)). Our results provide food for thought for optimizing crop diversity and density to adjust the economic balance between sales and self-consumption of the products harvested in cocoa AFS.

TI Incongruence between life-history traits and conservation status in reef corals SO CORAL REEFS LA English DT Article; Early Access DE Coral reefs; Scleractinia; Red List; Biodiversity; Boosted regression trees; Taxonomy; Conservation; Management ID EXTINCTION RISK; FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY; SCLERACTINIA; SELECTIVITY; PATTERNS; CNIDARIA AB Comparative lists of species' extinction risk are increasingly being used to prioritise conservation resources. Extinction risk is most rigorously assessed using quantitative data on species' population trajectories, but in the absence of such data, assessments often rely on qualitative estimates based on expert opinion of species abundances, distributions and threats. For example, one-third of coral species are classified as threatened and another third as near threatened on the IUCN Red List, despite a lack of data at the population level for the vast majority of species. Since many taxa show a strong correlation between species traits and extinction risk, an alternate approach is to identify traits associated with extinction in other groups and apply them to the taxon of interest. Here, we examine whether life-history traits associated with stress tolerance, fecundity and habitat specialisation are correlated with Red List conservation status in reef corals. We found no relationship between conservation status and life-history traits, suggesting that either traits identified as important predictors of extinction risk in other taxa are not important in corals, or that conservation status does not accurately reflect species' relative extinction risk. Therefore, using global-scale extinction risk assessments to inform conservation of coral reefs presents a high risk of 'silent extinctions' of undescribed species. We argue that the conservation status for the vast majority of coral species should be 'data deficient' and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future, and that the status and trends of coral populations can only be reliably assessed at relatively small scales.

In this study, we examined how functional features of aquatic macrophytes have changed during a 70-year period at community and species levels in a boreal lake district. At the community level, we examined if aquatic macrophyte communities showed different spatial patterns in functional composition and functional richness in relation to main environmental drivers between the time periods. We also observed each species in functional space to assess if species with certain sets of traits have become more common or rare in the 70-year study period. We found changes in the relationship between functional community composition and the environment. The aquatic macrophyte communities showed different patterns in functional composition between the two time periods, and the main environmental drivers for these changes were partly different. Temporal changes in functional richness were only partially linked to concomitant changes in the environment, while stable factors were more important. Species' functional traits were not associated with commonness or rarity patterns. Our findings revealed that functional homogenisation has not occurred across these boreal lakes, ranging from small oligotrophic forest lakes to larger lakes affected by human impacts.

We conducted a phylogeographic study of the red alga Gloiopeltis furcata, investigating cryptic species diversity and comparing population genetic structure in the north Pacific. A phylogenetic tree and haplotype networks were constructed on the basis of 201 mitochondrial COI-5P sequences and 149 plastid rbcL sequences from G. furcata specimens. Eight distinct cryptic lineages (A-H) were identified within G. furcata. These lineages showed high genetic diversity and complex geographic distributions. All eight lineages of G. furcatasensulato were present in the NW Pacific; however, only a single lineage (A) was present in the NE Pacific, suggesting that the NW Pacific is a center of genetic diversity for G. furcatasensulato. Habitat discontinuities of G. furcatasensulato in the high rocky intertidal zone may have been responsible for the high level of genetic differentiation of G. furcatasensulato in the NW Pacific by impeding genetic exchange between adjacent populations. Our phylogenetic diversity suggests that the NW Pacific, especially Jeju Island, was a genetic diversity hotspot involving species diversity of Gloiopeltis.

Taxonomic profiling using sequencing information revealed that Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia were the dominant phyla in spring, summer, and fall, as were Bradyrhizobium, Chthoniobacter, Streptomyces, Acid Candidatus Koribacter at the genus level. Some species that were abundant in spring and fall greatly diminished in abundance in summer. Clusters of orthologous groups (COG) of proteins, carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZy), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and NCBI databases were used to elucidate the function of diverse proteins and metabolites of the microbial community of L. gmelinii forest. COG analysis showed that fewer genes were detected in spring than in fall and summer, indicating that many soil microbes in the L. gmelinii forest were not tolerant to cold. Based on KEGG analysis, some pathways in the soil microbes were activated in spring and autumn and deactivated in summer. CAZy analysis revealed that most CAZy were more active in summer than in spring or autumn and were severely inhibited in the spring. Many functional pathways, proteins, and CAZy involved in the community changes were concerned with cold or heat resistance. Therefore, the soil in the L. gmelinii forest can be a valuable resource for further research on heat and cold tolerance of soil microbes.

While the impact of bivalve mariculture was initially overlooked, it is now widely recognized that this industry can significantly impact the ecosystem and its services. Carrying capacity assessment tools have been developed accordingly and have proved to be a useful and efficient aid for mariculture management. However, carrying capacity assessment tools have been mostly designed and implemented in developed temperate countries, while bivalve mariculture is mainly expanding today in tropical and subtropical zones. To what extent the existing carrying capacity assessment tools are suited for use in tropical and subtropical regions has received little attention, and thus constitutes a major issue. The present review aims to fill this gap and highlights the key points to consider for the carrying capacity assessment of bivalve mariculture in tropical and subtropical regions. In line with the requirements for the sustainable development of human activities, and increasing recognition of the need for better integration of social aspects in the management processes, carrying capacity assessment should be undertaken in a more holistic way. Thus, the social, economic and environmental aspects are taken into account in our analysis. A step-process plan for the sustainable management of bivalve mariculture in tropical and subtropical countries, through the assessment of carrying capacity, is proposed and discussed to offer guidance for managers.

However, numerous taxa are able to survive and reproduce in a variety of non-aquatic ecosystems. Although terrestrial diatoms are discussed extensively in the literature, most of those studies covered floristic aspects and few information exists on their ecology. This lack of knowledge thwarts their potential use as environmental markers in various applications. As a way forward, we investigated the seasonal patterns and the role of different disturbances on the community composition. We collected soil diatom samples in 16 sites across the Attert River basin (Luxembourg) every 4 weeks for a period of 14 months. Our results indicate that forests create a stable microhabitat for diatoms and that temporal variation of the diatom communities is mainly controlled by farming practices rather than seasonal changes in environmental variables. We also found out that communities need one to 2 months to reestablish a new, stable community after a significant change in the environment. We were able to confirm the applicability of the Pollution-Sensitivity Index (IPS) to identify anthropic disturbances.

These changes alter the configuration and composition of the landscape, particularly affecting those ecosystem services (benefits people receive from ecosystems) that depend on interactions between landscape components. Hydrological mitigation describes the bundle of ecosystem services provided by landscape features such as woodland that interrupt the flow of runoff to rivers. These services include sediment retention, nutrient retention and mitigation of overland water flow. The position of woodland in the landscape and the landscape topography are both important for hydrological mitigation. Therefore, it is crucial to consider landscape configuration and flow pathways in a spatially explicit manner when examining the impacts of fragmentation. Here we test the effects of landscape configuration using a large number (>7,000) of virtual landscape configurations. We created virtual landscapes of woodland patches within grassland, superimposed onto real topography and stream networks. Woodland patches were generated with user-defined combinations of patch number and total woodland area, placed randomly in the landscape. The Ecosystem Service model used hydrological routing to map the "mitigated area" upslope of each woodland patch. We found that more fragmented woodland mitigated a greater proportion of the catchment. Larger woodland area also increased mitigation, however, this increase was nonlinear, with a threshold at 50% coverage, above which there was a decline in service provision. This nonlinearity suggests that the benefit of any additional woodland depends on two factors: the level of fragmentation and the existing area of woodland. Edge density (total edge of patches divided by area of catchment) was the best single metric in predicting mitigated area. Distance from woodland to stream was not a significant predictor of mitigation, suggesting that agri-environment schemes planting riparian woodland should consider additional controls such as the amount of fragmentation in the landscape. These findings highlight the potential benefits of fragmentation to hydrological mitigation services. However, benefits for hydrological services must be balanced against any negative effects of fragmentation or habitat loss on biodiversity and other services.

In eastern Asia, long-distance migration has historically been studied for single insect species rather than diverse species complexes. Here, we assessed migration dynamics of multiple economically important migratory species on an island in the Bohai Strait, China. Drawing upon 15-year trapping records of > 2.5 million specimens, we unveil inter- and intra-annual shifts in the species composition and abundance of migrant individuals. Migrants belonged to 9 orders and 36 families, primarily consisting of Lepidoptera (79% individuals), Odonata (8%), and Coleoptera (4%). Seven crop-feeding noctuids, e.g., Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner), Mythimna separata (Walker), represented 54% of the total trapping records. Trap catches exhibited marked seasonal variation, with the highest capture rate during early fall. Yearly abundance of migratory noctuids was coupled with that of their associated natural enemies. Although overall trap catches did not decrease over the monitoring period, the entire order of Odonata experienced a 14.1% annual rate of decline. Furthermore, 19 out of 108 species exhibited a progressively declining abundance over time, including the cosmopolitan cutworm Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel) and the insectivorous dragonfly Pantala flavescens Fabricius. Our work provides unprecedented insights into insect migration dynamics in eastern Asia, helps fine-tune forecasting and early-warning systems of crop pests, and thereby guides integrated pest management within local agro-landscapes. Also, a long-term tracking of migrant insect populations can shine light on the fate of (insect-mediated) ecosystem services and trophic dynamic processes at a macroscale.

Significant racial/ethnic differences exist in serum 25(OH)D and NAFLD prevalence questioning extending this association to other racial/ethnic groups. We tested whether the association between serum 25(OH)D and NAFLD vary by race/ethnicity. Methods and results: This was a cross-sectional analysis from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) that included 3484 participants (44% male; 38.4% Whites, 27.8% African-Americans, 23.5% Hispanics, and 10.3% Chinese-Americans) who had serum 25(OH)D and upper abdominal CT images available at baseline. Serum 25(OH)D was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. NAFLD was identified if liver-to-spleen Hounsfield-Unit ratio was <1. Whites had the highest 25(OH)D level and African-Americans had the lowest level (mean SD: 29.5 +/- 10.4 vs.19.9 +/- 9.1, respectively). Six hundred and eleven (17.5%) participants had NAFLD; Hispanics had the highest prevalence (26.2%) followed by Chinese-Americans (19.8%), Whites (15.8%) and African-Americans (11.7%), P < 0.0001. In adjusted model, the association of 25(OH)D with NAFLD differed by race/ethnicity (P < 0.0001). Negative association was only evident in Causations (OR (95% CI):1.23 (1.03, 1.47) per 1 SD lower serum 25(OH)D). For other racial/ethnic groups, BMI, triglycerides, diabetic status and/or smoking, but not serum 25(OH)D, were common independent risk factors for NAFLD. Conclusions: The negative association between serum 25(OH)D and NAFLD in Whites may not be broadly generalizable to other racial/ethnic groups. Modifiable risk factors including BMI, triglycerides, diabetic status and/or smoking associate with NAFLD risk in non-white racial/ethnic groups beyond 25(OH)D.

Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with lower CVD risk in some race/ethnic groups, but the association of alcohol consumption and atherosclerosis in South Asians has not been investigated. Methods and Results: We used data from 906 South Asian participants who participated in the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) cohort (2010-2012). Alcohol consumption was ascertained via questionnaire, coronary artery calcium (CAC) was measured with computed tomography, and common carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) was measured using B-mode ultrasonography. We used multivariable regression models to examine cross-sectional associations of alcohol consumption with the presence and amount of CAC and cIMT. Compared with never drinkers, participants consuming 4-7 drinks/week had a 63% decreased odds of any CAC after adjusting for potential confounders and mediators. Participants consuming 4-7 drinks/week had significantly lower odds of CAC score between 1 and 300 [OR (95% CI): 0.34 (0.16-0.72)]. A similar inverse association was seen for the odds of CAC>300 [OR (95% CI): 0.28 (0.07-0.97)]. Alcohol consumption of >7 drinks/week was associated with a 0.096 mm increase in common-cIMT. Conclusion: There was an inverse association between the amount of alcohol intake and CAC among South Asians while a positive association was found between alcohol consumption and common-cIMT. Long-term follow-up of the MASALA cohort will examine prospective associations of alcohol intake with the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis, incident CVD events, and mortality.

Therefore, this study aimed to (i) determine combining ability and heterosis of 24 hybrids, (ii) group 11 parental lines employing both phenotypic and SSR markers, and (iii) study the association between SSR based-genetic distance and hybrid performance on agronomic traits and yields. 11 parental lines, 3 waxy and 8 sweet corns, were crossed following North Carolina Design II and were genotyped applying 30 SSR markers. 24 hybrids, 11 parents, and 3 check varieties were evaluated in two seasons (2017/2018) at Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Among eleven lines, 101 L/TSC-10, KV/mon, and KV/3473 were good combiners for developing early maturity (46 DAP,-1.43**; 49 DAP,-2.51**; 52 DAP,-0.73**, respectively) and lodging resistance (102.3 cm,-16.34**; 140.5 cm,-5.89*; 125.1 cm,-11.10**, respectively) hybrids meanwhile 101 LBW (6.8 ton ha(-1) ; 1.10**) and Y.18 (6.9 ton ha(-1); 1.08**) were suitable parents for high-yielding hybrids. High heterosis estimates with lack of SCA effects for certain traits revealed an essential role of parental adaptation. SSR based-genetic distance between sweet and waxy lines was wide enough ranging from 0.67 to 0.92. Contrasting dendogram pattern and insignificantly poor correlation between SSR and phenotypic based-genetic distances indicated that agreement between SSR and phenotypic markers was lacking. SSR based-genetic distance failed to predict hybrid performance, heterosis, and SCA as poor correlation was revealed. Absence of dominance effects and relatively high genetic distance among parental lines were possible explanations for the poor predictions.

Fungicides, such as thiabendazole, are used to control postharvest anthracnose and indirectly extend the shelf life of banana fruits. However, some fungicides can have harmful effects on public health as well as on the environment and biodiversity. A natural alternative to conventional antifungal agents could be the solution to meet the demand for healthier and less toxic food. In this study, the effect of ethanol extract of Sapindus saponaria L. fruit was evaluated in vitro against three Colletotrichum species: C. musae, C. gloeosporioides, and C. boninense. The activity of the ethanol extract against C. Musae was similar to that of thiabendazole at 500 mu g/mL. A fractionation, bioguided by antifungal activity, led to a semipurified fraction that contained saponin 3-O-(beta-D-xylopyranosyl)-(1 -> 3)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl- (1 -> 2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin and acyclic sesquiterpene oligoglycoside. This fraction presented an inhibition halo with a diameter of 10.7 mm at 125 mu g/mL. Although the semi-purified fraction was the most active, crude ethanol extract is a low-cost and environmentfriendly alternative to conventional fungicides for the control of postharvest banana anthracnose.

TI Artisanal Pico cheese as reservoir of Enterococcus species possessing virulence and antibiotic resistance properties: implications for food safety SO FOOD BIOTECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Enterococcus; virulence; antibiotic resistance; food safety; artisanal cheese ID LACTIC-ACID BACTERIA; BIOGENIC-AMINES; TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION; BACTERIOCINOGENIC LACTOCOCCI; MULTIPLEX-PCR; GENES; MICROBIOTA; FAECALIS; FAECIUM; BIODIVERSITY AB Enterococci are part of the dominant microbiota of artisanal Pico cheese and could be used as adjunct cultures for improving this traditional dairy product. However, the genus lacks Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) status. The aim of this study was to assess virulence factors, antibiotic resistance and biogenic amine production in 28 autochthonous Enterococcus from Pico cheese. Isolates were identified by sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and physiological characteristics (hemolysis, DNase, gelatinase, biogenic amine production, and antibiotic resistance), prior to phenotypic and genotypic (asa1, gelE, cylA, esp, efaA, ace, tdc, odc, hdc1, and hdc2) testing for virulence properties. All enterococci displayed antibiotic resistance, mainly to high doses of aminoglycosides (kanamycin and netilmicin). Furthermore, two of the studied isolates displayed vancomycin resistance, not attributable to vanA and vanB. No isolate produced DNase and only one was beta-hemolytic, but gelatinase production was observed in 54% of the isolates. The most frequently present virulence genes were efaA (100%), gelE and tdc (86%) and ace (71%). The less represented genes were esp (46%), asa1 (43%), cylA (21%) and hdc2 (4%). No isolate was devoid of virulence factors, making them unsuitable for use as Pico cheese adjunct cultures. Our results stress the importance of assessing the safety of each E. faecalis isolate from artisanal cheeses intended for use in food fermentations. C1 [Camara, S. P. A.; Dapkevicius, A.; Silva, C.

The integration of indigenous knowledge is a means of enabling active participation from the local communities in marine ecotourism development whilst conserving the biodiversity and safeguarding cultural landscapes and traditions. Alongside observations, forty-seven semi structured in-depth interviews were conducted with community members on an Indonesian island. Narrative analysis utilising a thematic approach explored the participants' viewpoints on how "sasi laut" (a traditional form of marine resource management) can be integrated into marine ecotourism development on Misool, which is located in the Raja Ampat islands of West Papua, Indonesia. The findings revealed that the arrangement of a concession agreement between marine ecotourism operators and the local indigenous community enabled the integration of sasi laut in marine ecotourism sites. The end result is that the marine life can be protected for its biodiversity values, which the tourists can appreciate whilst the local community members could continue traditional fishing or resource use in a manner that was sustainable to them.

Here, along a 3000-m elevational gradient with tectonic faults on the Tibetan Plateau (that is, Galongla Mountain in Medog County, China), we study the joint effects of geological and contemporary environments on biological communities, such as the diversity and community composition of plants and soil bacteria, and ecosystem functions. We find that these biological communities and ecosystem functions generally show consistent elevational breakpoints at 2000-2800 m, which coincide with Indus-Yalu suture zone fault and are similar to the elevational breakpoints of soil bacteria on another mountain range 1000 km away. Mean annual temperature, soil pH and moisture are the primary contemporary determinants of biodiversity and ecosystem functions, which support previous findings. However, compared with the models excluding geological processes, inclusion of geological effects, such as parent rock and weathering, increases 67.9 and 35.9% of the explained variations in plant and bacterial communities, respectively. Such inclusion increases 27.6% of the explained variations in ecosystem functions. The geological processes thus provide additional links to ecosystem properties, which are prominent but show divergent effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functions: parent rock and weathering exert considerable direct effects on biodiversity, whereas indirectly influence ecosystem functions via interactions with biodiversity and contemporary environments. Thus, the integration of geological processes with environmental gradients could enhance our understanding of biodiversity and, ultimately, ecosystem functioning across different climatic zones.

A number of 95 Chinese and 83 Arab women were interviewed. Two ethnic-specific food frequency questionnaires were designed to reflect the habitual diet of women belonging to these ethnic groups. Food items frequency of consumption was discussed using healthy eating guidelines. In both populations, women met healthy eating guidelines, except for salt intake, which was double than recommended; meat, sweet products and sugar-sweetened beverages were consumed more frequently than recommended, while olive oil and yogurt were eaten less frequently. Chinese women did not reach the recommendations for dairy products and fatty fish and exceeded those for red and processed meat, whereas Arab women exceeded the recommendations for cheese. Our findings suggest that the Italian food environment did not significantly affect Chinese and Arab pregnant immigrants' diet.

The course of depression among Latino children and adolescents, however, remains largely unexamined, along with family and cultural factors that can help explain dissimilar symptom paths. The present study used growth mixture modeling to map trajectories of depression symptoms and to examine youth and parent familism as predictors of these trajectories. Participants were 133 Latino 5th- to 7th-grade students (M-age = 12.4 years, SD = 0.91; 55.6% boys) and a subsample of their parents (n = 89). Youth reported on their depression symptoms at four time points, including two surveys (Time 1 and Time 3) and two in-person interviews (Time 2 and Time 4) over the course of 2 years. Familism reports were obtained from youth at Time 1 and from parents at Time 2. The trajectories identified include stable-low, recovery, and escalating, and only youth familism predicted membership in these trajectories. Relative to those in the recovery trajectory, youth reporting higher familism were more likely to belong to the stable-low trajectory. This study helps to highlight the heterogeneous course of depression among Latino youth and illustrates the importance of incorporating youth perspectives on family cultural values when considering their well-being.

Reading three cases - the restoration of biodiversity of long-lost ecosystems in Chicago's natural preserves, the EU biodiversity legislation for the management of alien invasive species, and recent changes in the management of diversity and migration in the aftermath of the 'summer of migration' in 2015 in Germany - the article illustrates how the notion of valued diversity inherently rests on the definition and devaluation of its Others, who are rendered disposable, harmful, and de facto killable. Necropolitics thus emerges as the inevitable underside of any biopolitical investment. C1 [Marten, Eike] Univ Chicago, Social Sci Collegiate Div, 5845 S Ellis Ave, Chicago, IL 60637 USA.

Yet, its impact on freshwater ecosystems has been poorly investigated. In this study, the effects of the presence of this invasive duckweed on water quality, and aquatic plant and invertebrate communities were evaluated in sites in Central Italy. Water chemical and physical factors and community descriptors were analyzed to identify these effects. Surveys were carried out across 17 paired aquatic sites. Site pairs were similar in microclimate, hydrogeology and water quality, but differed in relation to the presence/absence of L. minuta floating mats. In sites with mats, light and dissolved oxygen in water were negatively correlated with increasing mat coverage and thickness. The limited light and hypoxic conditions under mats inhibited plant growth and had a selective impact on the invertebrate community. Sites with L. minuta had aquatic communities with a lower plant taxa richness and a contrasting composition, compared with those in sites without. At sites with mats some plants were unaffected, but the majority of plant taxa documented at sites without Lemna were no present at sites with Lemna or were very rare (macroalgae, submerged rhizophytes). As for invertebrates, hypoxic-tolerant taxa dominated under mats (Ostracoda, Copepoda, Isopoda), whilst those more sensitive to oxygen depletion, or obligate herbivores, or those with a winged stage or swimming on water surface, were rare or absent (Ephemeroptera, Amphipoda, Chironomus, Notonecta). Lemna minuta mats presence was associated with alterations in the underlying aquatic ecosystem, severely threatening the conservation of these habitats. Active management strategies, including spread-prevention techniques, or mechanical removal combined with biological control, are required to conserve these habitats.

The black rat, one of the worst pest in the world, is responsible for extensive population decline of many autochthonous and endemic species, particularly in island ecosystems. A number of rat eradication campaigns have been conducted, however, such endeavors do not always result in a complete removal of the pest. This may be due to the occurrence of individuals resistant to common rodenticides and/or a re-invasion of the same environment from interconnected areas when appropriate eradication units are not defined before starting an eradication campaign. Our study is a multidisciplinary approach whereby genetic and epidemiological methods were used to provide background information for successful eradication of black rats. We investigated the occurrence of mutations in the VKORC1 gene known to confer resistance to rodenticides and evaluated the spread of zoonoses across three islands of the Pontine Archipelago, an Italian hotspot of endemic Mediterranean biodiversity and a possible mainland source of invasion. As part of an eradication campaign, we also assessed patterns of genetic diversity at 10 microsatellite loci in order to identify eradication units. We recorded a strong population structure and revealed at least two distinct eradication units. Some degree of admixture was recorded on Ponza, the largest island and likely the main source of rats invading the other two islands. We did not record the occurrence of rats resistant to anticoagulants, but we revealed transmission of vector-borne pathogens in commensal habitats of the Archipelago.

These eradication campaigns have led to considerable conservation gains, particularly for nesting seabirds. However, eradications are complex and lengthy endeavors and are even more challenging when humans are co-inhabitants of the targeted island. Furthermore, the method of eradication matters and recent proposals to consider genetic technologies for rodent eradication require specific scrutiny. One such technology is the potential use of a gene drive for biasing offspring sex ratios in invasive house mice, Mus musculus, that would spread and prevent the production of one sex, allowing die-off from lack of reproduction and natural attrition. Practitioners can gain insight into the potential for adoption of this technology from examining stakeholder engagement. This paper uses scenario analysis to address the eradication of rodents on inhabited and uninhabited islands, by specifically comparing the traditional approach of using rodenticides with sex-biasing gene drives. Concurrently the International Union for Conservation of Nature is assessing the risks and value of gene drives in general for conservation. Hence, we make the case that the ethical challenges with the use of gene drive sex-biasing techniques and the effectiveness of this tool will rely as much on its public acceptance and its democratic use as the actual science used to construct the technology.

Furthermore, an increasing frequency of extreme droughts in dammed rivers is expected because dams homogenize the flood pulse and decrease the river level. In this study, we evaluated the effects of extreme river-level oscillations on the benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a floodplain river. We analysed 47 years of river-level data and 17 years of benthic macroinvertebrate data. Our findings indicated that (1) extreme river-level oscillations promoted environmental conditions that were distinct from the regular oscillation; moreover, environmental characteristics were more heterogeneous in extreme oscillations than regular oscillations; (2) extreme oscillations were associated with a decreased richness, density, and diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates, promoting the dominance of tolerant taxa. Furthermore, in the studied river, a large hydroelectric power plant was built 19 years ago, which (3) decreased the river-level downstream, accentuating the occurrence of extreme drought, which has become more common after damming. We emphasize the importance of long-term biological monitoring considering the more frequent occurrence of extreme river-level oscillations in response to factors such as dam building and climate change.

Hypotheses regarding its regional boundaries include: (i) an ecoregional boundary at Catoche Cape, dividing the Western Caribbean and the Southern GoM ecoregions; and (ii) a boundary within the Southern GoM ecoregion at 89 degrees W, separating the West and Mid-Yucatan areas. We tested the hypothesis of no variation in benthic macrofaunal assemblages between regions delimited by the former boundaries using the species and functional traits of soft-bottom macrofauna. We considered that the depth and temporal environmental dynamics might interact with regional variations, generating complex benthic community patterns. The data were collected over five years (2010-2012, 2015-2016) at 86 stations (N = 1,017 samples, 10-270 m depth), comprising 1,327 species with 45 combinations of functional traits. The variation in species composition and functional trait assemblages were both consistent with the occurrence of three separate regions in the Yucatan Peninsula (West Yucatan, Mid-Yucatan and Western Caribbean). This regional configuration was consistent with changes in assemblage structure and depth zonation as well as temporal variation. Along with spatial and temporal variation, diversity diminished with depth and different regions exhibited contrasting patterns in this regard. Our results suggest that the spatial and temporal variation of soft-bottom macrofauna at YCS demonstrate the complex organization of a carbonate shelf encompassing different regions, which may represent transitional regions between the Caribbean and the GoM.

The vulnerability of these organisms, however, also involves other global stressors like warming, deoxygenation or changes in sea surface productivity and, hence, food supply via the downward transport of organic matter to the deep ocean. This study examined the response of the CWC Desmophyllum dianthus to low pH under different feeding regimes through a long-term incubation experiment. For this experiment, 152 polyps were incubated at pH 8.1, 7.8, 7.5 and 7.2 and two feeding regimes for 14 months. Mean calcification rates over the entire duration of the experiment ranged between -0.3 and 0.3 mg CaCO3 g(-1)d(-1). Polyps incubated at pH 7.2 were the most affected and 30% mortality was observed in this treatment. In addition, many of the surviving polyps at pH 7.2 showed negative calcification rates indicating that, in the long term, CWCs may have difficulty thriving in such aragonite undersaturated waters. The feeding regime had a significant effect on skeletal growth of corals, with high feeding frequency resulting in more positive and variable calcification rates. This was especially evident in corals reared at pH 7.5 (Omega(A) = 0.8) compared to the low frequency feeding treatment. Early life-stages, which are essential for the recruitment and maintenance of coral communities and their associated biodiversity, were revealed to be at highest risk. Overall, this study demonstrates the vulnerability of D. dianthus corals to low pH and low food availability. Future projected pH decreases and related changes in zooplankton communities may potentially compromise the viability of CWC populations.

However, the formation of this hotspot remains largely unstudied. To reveal this, a thorough study of the fossil record of the region is necessary. In the present paper, we describe for the first time fossil monitor lizards (Varanus sp.) from two late Miocene localities from the Southern Caucasus (Jradzor, Armenia and Tetri Udabno, Georgia). We suggest that both fossils belong to a small-sized monitor lizard, comparable to the present-day species found in Iran and the Middle East (e.g., Iraq, Saudi Arabian)-the most western part of the extant monitor lizards' Eurasian distribution range. Our finds show that the genus had a broad distribution in the Eastern Paratethyan region during the late Miocene. In addition, we provide the probable temperature ranges for fossil localities.

As a result of field surveys, 58 natural enemy species associated with 43 aphids on 58 different host plants were identified in the region between March of 2017 and November of 2018. In 173 tritrophic natural enemy-aphid-host plant interactions including association records new for Europe and Turkey, there were 21 representatives of the family Coccinellidae (Coleoptera), 14 of the family Syrphidae (Diptera) and 15 of the subfamily Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera), as well as eight other generalist natural enemies. In these interactions, a total of 37 aphid-natural enemy associations-including 19 associations of Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) with natural enemies, 16 associations of Therioaphis trifolii (Monell) with natural enemies and two associations of Aphis craccivora Koch with natural enemies-were detected on Medicago sativa L. during the sampling period. Similarly, 12 associations of Myzus cerasi (Fabricius) with natural enemies were revealed on Prunus avium (L.), along with five associations of Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus) with natural enemies (including mostly parasitoid individuals) on Brassica oleracea L. Also in the study, reduviids of the species Zelus renardii (Kolenati) are reported for the first time as new potential aphid biocontrol agents in Turkey. The results of field surveys show that the natural enemies of aphids have high biodiversity, which should be considered in the management of biological pest control.

During 11 years (2007-2017), the influence of ENSO events (El Nino, La Nina and neutral), ENSO types (canonical and Modoki) and PDO phases (cold and warm) on meteorological conditions and macrobenthic invertebrates were analyzed in two distinct (tide-dominated and river-dominated) subtropical estuaries of Southern Brazil. The estuarine macrobenthic communities differed markedly, with higher species richness in the tide-dominated estuary (146 taxa) than river-dominated (44). We showed that long-term variability of benthic macrofauna in both estuaries was strongly influenced by the PDO and ENSO events. However, the signs of PDO and ENSO effects differed between the estuaries. While the main modulating force of the decadal variability of the macrofauna of the tide-dominated estuary was the PDO (19%), the river-dominated estuary was primarily influenced by the ENSO (9%). Besides, PDO and ENSO teleconnections have combined effects, with higher macrofauna dissimilarities during constructive periods (PDO Positive/EL Nino vs. PDO Negative/La Nina). Our findings indicate that: (1) The effects of the ENSO on coastal areas are dependent of the spatial scale and the intrinsic characteristics of each estuary; (2) Studies relating ENSO and biodiversity should consider the ENSO type (Modoki and canonical) and interdecadal modes, such as PDO, because the location of the warm pools and the intensity of induced heating affect the atmospheric teleconnections.

This study aims to describe and compare the prevalence of food insecurity between immigrants and natives in Portugal and explore social determinants of poor health outcomes associated with food insecurity. Data were derived from the National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey 2015-2016, which is a national and regionally representative survey of the Portuguese general population which collected nationwide data on dietary habits (including food insecurity measured by the Radimer/Cornell food security questionnaire) and physical activity, among other dimensions. Demographic, socioeconomic and health factors that could help explain ethnic disparities in food insecurity were explored through complex survey data analysis. The prevalence of food insecurity was 10.7% (95% CI: 6.5-15.0) among immigrants and 10.1% (95% CI: 8.3-11.9) among natives; no significant differences were found. Low family income and low level of education were the main factors associated with food insecurity in Portugal, in both native and immigrant groups. Self-reported diseases and poor self-rated health were also associated with food insecurity. Only among natives, women, older and unmarried subjects had higher food insecurity. Therefore, inter-sectoral policies addressing the social determinants of food insecurity are needed to reduce social inequalities and particular attention should be given for Portuguese women, elderly and unmarried people which are the most vulnerable groups. Promoting equality in household food and nutrition security in Portugal including among immigrant's populations is a public health priority.

Do peers respond positively or negatively to classmates of different ethnic groups who get good grades in school? The current study addressed this question by examining the linkage between academic achievement and friendship nominations received in an ethnically diverse sample of 4501 sixth grade students (M-age = 11.3 years; 51% female; 41.3% Latino, 25.1% White, 19.3% Asian, and 14.3% Black). The results of mediated moderation analyses showed that for Asians and Whites, higher academic achievement was associated with more same-ethnic friendships, whereas for Blacks and Latinos, higher academic achievement was associated with more cross-ethnic friendships. In addition, ethnic differences in the linkage between academic achievement and friendships were partly explained by classroom ethnic composition. Implications for promoting friendships of high achieving students both within and across ethnic boundaries were discussed.

To support a broad range of restoration practices, a well-established supply chain capable of representing regional plant diversity is essential. This study investigated the restoration species pool in native plant nurseries in Sao Paulo state, located in southeastern Brazil, and evaluated their geographic distribution, similarity of their plant stocks, and the proportion of species represented from regional floras. Despite a lack of technical assistance and a significant presence of nonnative species (126 species, average 7.5 species/nursery), we found an impressive native species richness in plant nurseries (561 species, average 86.4 species/nursery) from both the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado domains, representing 38-44% of regional floras. There was a huge bias toward tree and shrub species (96.6%) and an absence or underrepresentation of other growth forms, as well as of savanna specialists, animal-dispersed, and threatened species. The dissimilarity of species observed among the different nurseries surveyed highlights their role in representing regional diversity, which reflects their regional seed collection practices. Effective assistance and training are essential to address issues related to misidentification of species, underrepresentation of most functional plant groups, and the presence of nonnative species, as well as to support the supply chain, which is currently undergoing a market downturn.

Home gardening represents a common form of UA in the close living environments of urban dwellers that can be particularly important for rapidly growing cities and metropolitan regions in developing and transitional countries. However, a structured conceptual analysis of different urban sustainability benefits, including its operationalisation, is lacking. We therefore investigated whether and to which extent home gardening practices in urban residential environments contribute to urban sustainability. In detail, we analysed the contribution of prevailing cultivation practices, socio-economic situations, motivation, knowledge and networking of individual household and external framework conditions to the environmental, economic and socio-cultural dimensions of urban sustainability. Between January and May 2014, we conducted a questionnaire survey among 111 gardeners in residential neighbourhoods of Pune (India) and applied an analytical framework using composite indicators with index values to the compiled data. Our main results showed that sustainability benefits can be expected especially in environmental and socio-cultural aspects, particularly for urban biodiversity conservation and aesthetic green urban spaces, and less expected in economic contributions and food production. Gardening practice and sustainability contribution is rather determined by the motivation and socio-demographic factors of the gardener than type and size of the garden. We conclude that conserving and building home gardens can contribute to urban sustainability and should therefore be considered in the planning, design and management of urban spaces.

Sea cucumber, harboring diverse fungi, has also attracted more and more attention for their functional diversity. Here, secondary metabolites produced by Chaetomium globosum associated with sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus, were investigated using gene mining with third-generation sequencing technology (PacBio SMRT). Nine compounds, including one new compound cytoglobosin X (1), were isolated from cultures of Chaetomium globosum. Compound 1 was identified based on NMR data, HRESIMS, and ECD, and the absolute configurations were identified as 3S, 4R, 7S, 8R, 9R, 16S, 19S, 20S, and 23S. In an antimicrobial assay, compound 4 showed moderate activity against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with MICs of 47.3 and 94.6 mu M, respectively. Our results suggest that the microbiomes associated with sea cucumber could be an important resource for biodiversity and structural novelty, and the bioactive compounds may protect the host from pathogen microbial.

Unfortunately in the Cordillera Central Range, several species have not been studied, even though this area harbors a unique type of vegetation not found in other parts of the Philippines. This study documents the morpho-anatomical characteristics of Rhododendron subsessile Rendle, one of the unique and endangered flora in the area. The species exhibits a morphology typical of plants in high elevations, being a hardy shrub with small tough leaves, and showy pink flowers that rival those of commercial rhododendron species. New findings on the species morphology include a variable number of corolla lobes, stamens and a description of its fruits and seeds. The anatomical features of the species are reported here for the first time. The plant exhibits a typical dicot anatomy with dorsiventral leaves, woody stem and root system with the usual arrangement of periderm followed by secondary phloem, vascular cambium, secondary xylem with vessel elements and pith (in the case of the stem). A unique characteristic was identified as the biseriate upper epidermis of the leaf. Documenting the morphological and anatomical features of the species should prove valuable as input baseline information in formulating measures for its conservation.

However, knowledge on the influence of Christmas-tree plantations (CTP) on biodiversity is still scarce. We examined phytodiversity and soil and habitat-structure characteristics within young (CTP-YOUNG, tree age <= 6 years) and old (CTP-OLD, tree age > 6 years) conventionally managed CTP in comparison with the three most dominant habitat types within the study area: (1) intensively managed grasslands (GRASS), (2) windthrows (WIND) and (3) non-native spruce forests (FOREST) (n(per sample type) = 18). Our study revealed clear differences in soil characteristics, habitat structure and plant-species richness between the five sample types. These differences were most pronounced between three groups of habitats: (1) CTP, (2) GRASS and (3) WIND/FOREST. CTP were characterized by a typical habitat structure composed of a distinct shrub layer, an intermediate herb layer and a low litter cover. In contrast to the other sample types CTP had a comparably high cover of bare ground and stones/gravel. Due to the practiced management CTP were characterized by a unique plant species community composed of a high number of ruderal species and some neophytes. The differences between CTP-YOUNG and CTP-OLD were generally small. Next to management, phytodiversity in CTP was influenced by the size of CTP. Small-scale CTP generally had a higher phytodiversity. For the cultivation of Christmas trees, we recommend the reduction of herbicide use as far as possible. New plantations should be implemented preferentially within homogeneous landscapes composed of habitats with low importance for biodiversity.

The structure of interaction networks mediates the resilience of local communities and ecosystem functioning to environmental changes. Hence, network structure conservation may be more critical for maintaining biodiversity and ecological services than the preservation of isolated species in changing landscapes. Here, we intensively surveyed seven 36 km(2) landscapes to empirically investigate the effects of forest loss and landscape configuration on the structure of plant-pollinator networks in understory vegetation of Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Our results indicate that forest loss and isolation affect the structure of the plant-pollinator networks, which were smaller in deforested landscapes, and less specialized as patch isolation increased. Lower nestedness and degree of specialization (HMODIFIER LETTER PRIME2) indicated that the remaining plant and bee species tend to be generalists, and many of the expected specialized interactions in the network were already lost. Because generalist species generate a cohesive interaction core in these networks, these simplified networks might be resistant to loss of peripheral species, but may be susceptible to the extinction of the most generalist species. We suggest that such a network pattern is an outcome of landscapes with a few remaining isolated patches of natural habitat. Our results add a new perspective to studies of plant-pollinator networks in fragmented landscapes, showing that those interaction networks might also be used to indicate how changes in natural habitat affect biodiversity and biotic interactions.

TI Temporal dynamics of stream fish assemblages and the role of spatial scale in quantifying change SO ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION LA English DT Article DE biodiversity monitoring; community stability; domains of scale; headwater streams; persistence; spatial clustering; spatial grain; temporal beta diversity ID R PACKAGE; DIVERSITY; COMMUNITY; PATTERNS; HOMOGENIZATION; DISTURBANCE; STABILITY; PERSISTENCE; TURNOVER AB Spatial grain of studies of communities is often based on arbitrary convention. Few studies have examined how spatial scaling of grain size affects estimates of compositional change over time, despite its broad implications. Fish assemblage structure was compared between 1974 and 2014 at 33 sampling locations in the Muddy Boggy River drainage, USA. The two main objectives for this comparison were to quantify change in assemblage structure and to test for a relationship between compositional change and spatial scale. Spatial scale was manipulated by pooling assemblage data into a continuous range of groups, which increased in size from K = 33 pairs (i.e., local scale) to K = 1 pair (i.e., global scale), via clustering algorithm based on pair-wise fluvial distance. Local assemblages (stream reaches) varied in the degree of assemblage change over time (range = 0.10-0.99 dissimilarity; mean = 0.66). The global assemblage (drainage), however, remained relatively similar. A discontinuity in the relationship between compositional change and spatial scale occurred at K = 15 (mean dissimilarity = 0.56; p = .062), and this grouping is roughly the size of the headwater/tributary drainages (i.e., stream order <= 3) in the study system. Spatial scale can impact estimates of biodiversity change over time. These results suggest assemblages are more dynamic at individual stream reaches than at the scale of the entire drainage. The decline in assemblage change at the spatial scale of K = 15 deserves further attention given the marginal significance, despite a small sample size (n = 15). This pattern could suggest regional and meta-community processes become more important in shaping assemblage dynamics at the scale of headwater drainages, whereas the factors responsible for driving individual stream reach dynamics (e.g., stochasticity) become less important. Defining assemblages at a larger scale will result in different estimates of species persistence. Biodiversity monitoring efforts must take the effect of spatial scaling into consideration.

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with the Frozen Ark, a UK-based 'frozen zoo' aiming to preserve the DNA of endangered animal species, the paper situates the development of non-human animal biobanks in relation to current anxieties regarding the anticipated loss of biodiversity. These developments are seeding new global futures by driving advances in technologies, techniques and practices of cloning, de-extinction, re-wilding and potential species re-introduction. While this provides impetus to rethink the nature of 'nature' itself, as something which is actively made by such conservation practices, we also aim to make a contribution to the development of a series of critical concepts for analysis of ex-situ and in-situ natural heritage preservation practices, which further illuminates their roles in building distinctive futures, through discussion of the relationship between conservation proxies, biobanking and biocapitals. We suggest that questions of value and the role of future making in relation to heritage cannot be disassociated from an analysis of economic issues, and, therefore, the paper is framed within a broader discussion of the place of ex-situ biodiversity cryopreservation in the late capitalist global economy.

Genetic polymorphisms of the TP53 and P21 genes are the candidate variants in various cancers development. This study investigated whether the polymorphisms in TP53 (rs1042522) and P21 (rs1059234 and rs1801270) affect the risk of PTC and whether such the genotype of these polymorphisms is associated with pathological and clinical characteristics of PTC. A case-control study was conducted with 286 Iranian people, including 131 PTC cases and 155 healthy controls. The genetic polymorphisms were investigated by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Our results suggested that TP53-rs1042522 CC genotype was significantly associated with protection against PTC, in the dominant, recessive and allelic models (OR = 0.4, 95%CI: 0.2-0.8, P = .008; OR = 0.5, 95%CI: 0.3-0.9, P = .01; OR = 0.6, 95%CI: 0.4-0.8, P = .002, respectively). The rs1042522 was associated with PTC patients with tumor size greater than 1 cm in dominant and recessive models (OR = 0.2, 95%CI = 0.04-0.9, P = .04 and OR = 0.3, 95%CI = 0.1-0.7, P = .009, respectively) and was associated with vascular invasion in dominant model (OR = 0.3, 95%CI = 0.1-0.7, P = .01). No correlation was identified between P21 rs1059234 and rs1801270 polymorphisms and risk of PTC and pathological and clinical characteristics of PTC. Genetic variations in rs1042522 might alter the PTC risk, which could affect tumor size and cause lower incidence of vascular invasion in PTC cases. This was the first report suggesting that no correlation was found between P21 rs1059234 and rs1801270 polymorphisms and PTC risk. Thus, more studies with a larger population size and different ethnic groups and functional assays are needed to confirm our results.

As such, we frequently lack reliable estimates of juvenile survival, which are necessary for accurately assessing population stability and potential management approaches to conserve biodiversity. We estimated survival rates for elusive juveniles of 3 species, the ringed salamander (Ambystoma annulatum), spotted salamander (A. maculatum), and small-mouthed salamander (A. texanum), using 2 approaches. First, we conducted an 11-month (2016-2017) mark-recapture study within semi-natural enclosures and used Bayesian Cormack-Jolly-Seber models to estimate survival and recapture probabilities. Second, we inferred the expected annual juvenile survival rate given published vital rates for pre-metamorphic and adult ambystomatids assuming stable population growth. For all 3 species, juvenile survival probabilities were constant across recapture occasions, whereas recapture probability estimates were time-dependent. Further, survival and recapture probabilities among study species were similar. Post-study sampling revealed that the initial study period median estimate of annual survival probability (0.39) underestimated the number of salamanders known alive at 11 months. We therefore appended approximately 1 year of opportunistic data, which produced a median annual survival probability of 0.50, encompassing salamanders that we knew to have been alive. Calculation from literature values suggested a mean annual terrestrial juvenile ambystomatid survival probability of 0.49. Similar results among our approaches indicated that juvenile survival estimates for the study species were robust and likely comparable to rates in nature. These estimates can now be confidently applied to research, monitoring, and management efforts for the study species and ecologically similar taxa. Our findings indicated that similarly robust vital rate estimates for subsets of ecologically and phylogenetically similar species can provide reasonable surrogate demographic information that can be used to reveal key factors influencing population viability for data-deficient species.

In recent years, however, both security challenges have increased exponentially. The extent of the problem, exacerbated both by organized crime links and corruption, has reached levels in which it should now be viewed as a national security issue. This particularly is the case due to most of the criminality and conflicts occurring in border regions and involving cross-border operations. The rise of local uncontrolled armed groups, significant conflict between ethnic groups, inability of the regional governments to gain control of peripheral areas, and the increased politicization of the conflicts all indicate an environment that is highly conducive for creating the rise of insurgent movements.

The analysis was based on the theoretical-methodological framework proposed by Ostrom and discussed how terrestrial mollusks have the potential to support actions for decision-making in biodiversity conservation, public health and local economy. The framework presented four subsystems categorized as ecological, political, social and economic, with the Sooretama Biological Reserve in the Northern state of Espirito Santo as a geographical boundary. The results allow us to perceive that terrestrial mollusks have essential characteristics that reflect into ecosystem health, acting in an integrated way with the dynamics of environmental services and the equilibrium of habitats.

The joining of individuals of several species in large heterospecific flocks can optimise individual vigilance and foraging. However, a large number of conspecific individuals in flocks may deplete food resources and increase intraspecific competition. In the present study, we argue that Nearctic-Neotropical migratory shorebird species join large heterospecific flocks in a balanced number as a way of controlling intraspecific competition. We recorded monospecific and heterospecific flocks in urban beaches from southeastern Brazil and annotated the species richness and the number of individuals per bird species per flock. Besides, we recorded the number of people around shorebird flocks to examine any relationship with flock size. We also recorded the foraging rate of the semipalmated plover Charadrius semipalmatus, a common migrant species in the region, as a species model to test competition and vigilance. We hypothesised that this species would exhibit a low foraging rate in scenarios with high intraspecific competition (i.e. large flocks with a high number of conspecifics) and high density of people, which may disturb birds. In the initial results, the density of people did not influence size of monospecific and heterospecific flocks; heterospecific flocks were larger than monospecific flocks, and heterospecific flocks increased in size by the addition of more species rather than more individuals of the same species. These data reflect a decrease in the relative abundance of individuals per species. Additionally, the semipalmated plover foraging rate was reduced in monospecific flocks, flocks with a high relative abundance (and total number) of the specific individuals and flocks surrounded by a high density of people. All these results indicate that shorebirds may adjust flock composition and size according to preferred foraging conditions, i.e. large and balanced heterospecific flocks with less intraspecific competition and less vigilance to potential predators in wintering areas.

Andean hummingbirds have undergone a remarkable radiation, with many species exhibiting patchy distributions and, in some cases, taxonomic controversy. An example is the sapphire-vented puffleg Eriocnemis luciani; ssp. baptistae, luciani and meridae, which some authors merge with the coppery-naped puffleg E. sapphiropygia; ssp. catharina and sapphiropygia. Each group is distributed either north or south from the Huancabamba Depression, the major biogeographical barrier within the tropical Andes. We investigated whether these subspecies share some niche characteristics despite their geographical separation and determined their meaning in the context of the speciation process of trochilids in the tropical Andes. For each subspecies, we performed geographical predictions and paired tests of niche conservatism in environmental space. Geographical predictions included separate regions for subspecies catharina and sapphiropygia, while the predicted regions for subspecies luciani and baptistae greatly overlapped. The E. l. luciani model predicted a single pixel near to the potential area of E. l. meridae, known only from a unique, old record. Subspecies luciani and baptistae exhibited the greatest niche overlap among the pairs of taxa for most variables. However, our results clearly indicated niche divergence for the four members of the E. luciani-sapphiropygia complex, independent of the similarities or slight dissimilarities in their respective backgrounds, indicating that other forces in addition to variation in environmental parameters, such as natural selection or genetic drift, are driving the radiation of these hummingbirds. This finding coincides with the unusually high speciation rates reported for Andean hummingbirds. Thus, the currently accepted taxonomy within the E. luciani-sapphiropygia complex may be even more convoluted than indicated by previous studies. Hence, the results of our study are a wakeup call to include the exploration of lineage diversification in biodiversity-related efforts.

Recently, insect population decline has been highlighted both in the scientific world and the media. Investigating such decline requires monitoring which includes adequate sampling and correctly identifying sampled taxa. This task requires extensive manpower and is time consuming and hard, even for experts, if the process is not automated. Here we propose DeepABIS based on the concepts of the successful Automated Bee Identification System (ABIS), which allowed mobile field investigations including species identification of live bees in field. DeepABIS features three important advancements. First, DeepABIS reduces the efforts of training the system significantly by employing automated feature generation using deep convolutional networks (CNN). Second, DeepABIS enables participatory sensing scenarios employing mobile smart phones and a cloud-based platform for data collection and communication. Third, DeepABIS is adaptable and transferable to other taxa beyond Hymenoptera, i.e., butterflies, flies, etc. Current results show identification results with an average top-1 accuracy of 93.95% and a top-5 accuracy of 99.61% applied to data material of the ABIS project. Adapting DeepABIS to a butterfly dataset showing morphologically difficult to separate populations of the same species of butterfly yields identification results with an average top-1 accuracy of 96.72% and a top-5 accuracy of 99.99%.

TI Monitoring global changes in biodiversity and climate essential as ecological crisis intensifies SO ECOLOGICAL INFORMATICS LA English DT Article DE Essential climate variables; Essential biodiversity variables; Observing systems; Natures contributions to people ID VARIABLES; PROGRESS; HELP AB The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services have presented unequivocal evidence for human induced climate change and biodiversity decline. Transformative societal change is required in response. However, while the Global Observing System for Climate has coordinated climate observations for these assessments, there has been no equivalent actor for the biodiversity assessment. Here we argue that a central agency for coordinated biodiversity observations can lead to an improved assessment process for biodiversity status and coupled climate biodiversity observations in areas of mutual interest such as monitoring indicators of Natures Contributions to People. A global biodiversity observation system has already begun to evolve through bottom up development of the Essential Biodiversity Variables. We propose recommendations on how to build on this progress through definition of user requirements, observation principles, creation of a community data basis and regional actions through existing networks.

To examine the effects of soil fertility and flooding regime on the growth of Ambrosia trifida L., a mesocosm experiment was conducted for 18 weeks. Two levels of soil fertility (high and low) and three types of flooding regime (non-flooded, flooded, and periodically flooded) were prepared. Shoot height and dry weight of each plant were measured. We found both individual and interactive effects of soil fertility and flooding regime on the overall growth performance of A. trifida (p < 0.05). The highest shoot height (154.7 +/- 4.4 cm) and total dry weight (TDW, 13.0 +/- 1.4 g) were obtained under high fertility and non-flooded condition. Height and weight were relatively low under flooding conditions (flooded and periodically flooded). In particular, shoot height (102.3 +/- 3.2 cm) and TDW (3.2 +/- 0.3 g) were the lowest under low fertility and periodically flooded condition. On the other hand, the ratio of above- to below-ground dry weight was relatively high under flooded conditions, showing the adaptive phenotypic plasticity. Adventitious root formation and more biomass allocation to shoots were a flooding-adaptive mechanism of A. trifida, well developed under high fertility condition. We suggest maintaining appropriate water regime and avoiding eutrophication in wetlands would be necessary to prevent A. trifida from invading. These findings will contribute to the conservation of biodiversity in wetlands by effective management of A. trifida.

It also examines farmers' coexistence in a multi-ethnic community in the context of the locations and ecological classification of fields cultivated by firstcomers and immigrants. The study area was S Ward in northwestern Zambia. It is written as S ward not to be specified the location. Northwestern Zambia is home to five ethnic groups: the Kaonde, who are considered the region's firstcomers, and the Lunda, Luvale. Chokwe. and Luchazi, who are relative newcomers to S Ward. The number of villages in S Ward increased from 11 Kaonde villages in 1960 to 23 villages in 2000, of which nine were built by non-Kaonde immigrants. The population of S Ward increased with the influx of immigrants. Accordingly. the total area of cultivated land in S Ward in 2014 was 12-times higher than in 1968. Farmers in these five ethnic groups categorized the surrounding ecological environment according to landforms, soils, and vegetation, and classified the ecology as marsh or woodland. Woodland was identified as one of two types based on the accumulated soil: the outer edge of the marsh has gray soil, whereas the upland region is characterized by red soil. According to the farmers, the gray soil was soft and rich in nutrients, whereas red soil contained little sand and hardened when dried. Farmers in S Ward recognized that the gray soil in the woodland was more suitable for cultivation. The Kaonde's cultivated fields were located at the outer edge of the marsh, as the Kaonde have lived in the area for several generations. so newcomers were forced to clear the uplands, which had remained unoccupied by the Kaonde farmers. The Kaonde and immigrants coexist in S Ward by cultivating different ecological areas and practicing different slash-and-burn cultivation systems.

The paper aims to discuss how services can efficiently respond to historically marginalized ethnic perpetrators' needs and circumstances based on their social and cultural contexts. This article reviews literature about the success of domestic violence intervention approaches among marginalized ethnic group perpetrators. While each intervention approach highlights key practices for revealing violent behaviour, the combination of integrative approaches and culturally-sensitive strategies appear to be more effective for perpetrators from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. This article contributes to debates about culturally-sensitive approaches by discussing the importance of professionals' skills for enhancing marginalized ethnic perpetrators' motivations to remain engaged in the intervention process. It recommends a number of key culturally-specific strategies for this purpose. C1 [Turhan, Zeynep] Bartin Univ, Fac Hlth Sci, Dept Social Work, Agdaci Campus, Bartin, Turkey.

We used data from 335 stream sites, belonging to 105 watersheds and 3 basins in Italy, to test whether the exotic species invasion was dominated by species with generalist traits and whether the environment-ecofunctional trait relationships of exotic and native species would differ from each other. We also tested the hypothesis that ecofunctional uniqueness patterns between exotic and native species would be substantially different. We found that generalist traits were widespread in nearly all areas where exotic species occurred, but not all generalist traits were equally abundant in exotic communities. Only temperature tolerant, low oxygen tolerant and eurytopic traits were typically more dominant in exotic communities than native ones, suggesting that not all generalist traits are equally important in the invasion process and that more complex mechanisms of trait selection could take place. Environment-ecofunctional trait relationships of exotic and native species partly differed both in direction and magnitude, suggesting that invasion dynamics could decouple the linkage between environment and biotic communities, but also that this decoupling might decrease at later invasion stages (i.e. > 30 years after major invasions). Finally, site and trait ecofunctional uniqueness differed between exotic and native species. Exotic species ecofunctional diversity hotspots were located in human-disturbed areas, suggesting that human disturbance might play a strong role in invasion patterns. We advocate for a wider use of ecofunctional approaches in conservation studies in the future, as they could be a key to understand complex ecological processes such as exotic invasions.

However, little is known about forest change patterns from OG infrastructure development in northeastern British Columbia (BC). In this study, we assess forest change from the impacts of OG infrastructure development using a geospatial approach. The study finds that forest cover was reduced by 0.234% between 1975 and 2017. However, we show that forest cover change (- 0.182%) from OG infrastructure development between 1995 and 2017 was faster compared to that of the two decades before 1995. The faster change, however, coincides with the period of the OG boom in BC. Between time points and locations, we measured a larger amount of forest fragmentation in the land cover for the year and location with larger quantities of human-induced land classes. The differences in the quantity of human-induced land cover types between time points and locations could account for the differences in the amount of fragmentation. Our findings suggest that forest fragmentation is likely to reduce if land managers would make relentless effort to reduce the quantity of anthropogenic-induced land cover classes and increase forest recovery programs in the forest areas.

The aim of this study was to describe the effect of the Gabcikovo Waterworks on the taxonomical and functional structure of the molluscan assemblages in the Danube riparian floodplain forests. The results demonstrate that the Gabcikovo Waterworks had a direct and long-lasting effect on the direction of the succession of terrestrial molluscan assemblages, especially in the area of the by-pass section. The changes in the soil moisture caused by the waterworks' operation led to significant changes in the species and functional composition of these assemblages. More specifically, however, the proportion of the generalists which prefer dry biotopes increased, while the number of moisture-demanding species decreased. Our results indicate that the current artificial flooding system cannot fully replace previous natural floods in the Danube inland delta, and it is also insufficient for restoration and preservation of the humidity conditions in the softwood floodplain forests which would be similar to the pre-operation period of the Gabcikovo Waterworks.

However, protists have received far less attention than other components of the soil microbiome. We used amplicon sequencing of soils from 180 locations across six continents to investigate the ecological preferences of protists and their functional contributions to belowground systems. We complemented these analyses with shotgun metagenomic sequencing of 46 soils to validate the identities of the more abundant protist lineages. We found that most soils are dominated by consumers, although parasites and phototrophs are particularly abundant in tropical and arid ecosystems, respectively. The best predictors of protist composition (primarily annual precipitation) are fundamentally distinct from those shaping bacterial and archaeal communities (namely, soil pH). Some protists and bacteria co-occur globally, highlighting the potential importance of these largely undescribed belowground interactions. Together, this study allowed us to identify the most abundant and ubiquitous protists living in soil, with our work providing a cross-ecosystem perspective on the factors structuring soil protist communities and their likely contributions to soil functioning.

This research explores how disadvantaged Indigenous communities in Taiwan, especially those located in typhoon-sensitive and geologically fragile areas, developed resilience as tourist destinations. It applies empirical data from Indigenous River Closure, a movement which aims to develop river ecotourism and build resilience in the face of growing uncertainty. The research applies mixed methods, including in-depth interview, news-archive review, and participatory observation, with an intention for primary data and secondary data to complement one another. Based on the intertwined concepts of resilience, adaptability, transformability, and self-reorganization, the results show that River Closure initiated from within those communities (endogenous) seems to build greater resilience in ecotourism. At the same time, cases instigated by outsiders (exogenous) are not without potential to be successful, but there is a need to cautiously build consensus and increase capacity in the collaborative process with outside resources. The success of river ecotourism in a sensitive area depends on the level of social capital. It plays a key role in mobilizing community resources to adapt to uncertainty, reorganizing relations between the community and tourism development, and transforming River Closure from a community-based response to exploitation, to a robust Indigenous movement. However, while inherent social capital is proved to be a strong essence for community actions, it is becoming rare in modern society. Thus bolstering social capital is core to the exogenous approach for building resilience in the tourism sector. C1 [Shie, Yi-Jen] Natl Kaohsiung Univ Hosp & Tourism, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

TI PelagiCam: a novel underwater imaging system with computer vision for semi-automated monitoring of mobile marine fauna at offshore structures SO ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT LA English DT Article DE Monitoring; aquaculture; motion detection; video analysis; pelagic; mussel farm; ecosystem function ID ARTIFICIAL REEFS; OCEAN SPRAWL; BLUE GROWTH; NORTH-SEA; FISH; VIDEO; BIODIVERSITY; AQUACULTURE; ATTRACTION; CONNECTIVITY AB Engineered structures in the open ocean are becoming more frequent with the expansion of the marine renewable energy industry and offshore marine aquaculture. Floating engineered structures function as artificial patch reefs providing novel and relatively stable habitat structure not otherwise available in the pelagic water column. The enhanced physical structure can increase local biodiversity and benefit fisheries yet can also facilitate the spread of invasive species. Clear evidence of any ecological consequences will inform the design and placement of structures to either minimise negative impacts or enhance ecosystem restoration. The development of rapid, cost-effective and reliable remote underwater monitoring methods is crucial to supporting evidence-based decision-making by planning authorities and developers when assessing environmental risks and benefits of offshore structures. A novel, un-baited midwater video system, PelagiCam, with motion-detection software (MotionMeerkat) for semi-automated monitoring of mobile marine fauna, was developed and tested on the UK's largest offshore rope-cultured mussel farm in Lyme Bay, southwest England. PelagiCam recorded Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), garfish (Belone belone) and two species of jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella and Rhizostoma pulmo) in open water close to the floating farm structure. The software successfully distinguished video frames where fishes were present versus absent. The PelagiCam system provides a cost-effective remote monitoring tool to streamline biological data acquisition in impact assessments of offshore floating structures. With the rise of sophisticated artificial intelligence for object recognition, the integration of computer vision techniques should receive more attention in marine ecology and has great potential to revolutionise marine biological monitoring.

Theory proposes that biotic factors (e.g., ecosystem biodiversity, host abundance, and host density) and climatic conditions would determine the epidemiology and evolution of wild plant viruses. However, these predictions seldom have been empirically tested. For 3 years, we analyzed the prevalence and genetic diversity of Potyvirus species in preserved riparian forests of Spain. Results indicated that potyviruses were always present in riparian forests, with a novel generalist potyvirus species provisionally named Iberian hop mosaic virus (IbHMV), explaining the largest fraction of infected plants. Focusing on this potyvirus, we analyzed the biotic and climatic factors affecting virus infection risk and population genetic diversity in its native ecosystem. The main predictors of IbHMV infection risk were host relative abundance and species richness. Virus prevalence and host relative abundance were the major factors determining the genetic diversity and selection pressures in the virus population. These observations support theoretical predictions assigning these ecological factors a key role in parasite epidemiology and evolution. Finally, our phylogenetic analysis indicated that the viral population was genetically structured according to host and location of origin, as expected if speciation is largely sympatric. Thus, this work contributes to characterizing viral diversity and provides novel information on the determinants of plant virus epidemiology and evolution in wild ecosystems.

The sorghum planted in 7 strips between 14 rows of Acacia trees planting combinations and one treeless strip as control. Acacia species plantations significantly increase soil fertility in terms of available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and organic carbon (OC) contents as compared to control, highest level of N and P content (59.01 +/- 1.45 and 58.77 +/- 1.10 mg/kg) was reported in strip between rows of A. tortilis. Although the highest net photosynthesis rate (P.) and stomatal conductance (g(s)) recorded in plants grown between rows of pure A. torilis, and rows of A. torilis-A. seyal, but different Acacia significantly enhanced sorghum growth and physiology with reference to net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance and chlorophyll fluorescence (chlF). The results stated linear relation between soil nutrients (N, P, K), P-n, and chlF increasing soil fertility improve physiological performance of sorghum. In conclusion, the three Acacia improve soil fertility and sorghum growth. Generally, this plantation trial can be environment-friendly alternative agricultural practices in Saudi Arabia or any area with a similar ecological condition to amend the soil and improve crop performance.

Nitrogen treatment increased community coverage (48-113% higher than the control) and aboveground biomass (29-117% higher than the control), which was mainly attributed to grass growth. Both N and N + CL treatments showed a tendency to reducing species richness, while significant reduction only occurred in 2016 and 2017 in CL treatment. Clipping showed a tendency to decrease community cover (3-37% lower than the control) and aboveground biomass (2-34% lower than the control), while N + CL treatment had no effect, indicating that clipping can eliminate the simulated effects of N addition. Nitrogen addition significantly increased soil inorganic N (SIN, 528-1230% higher than the control), while SIN in N + CL was 25-48% lower than N treatment. The decrease in stimulated effects in N + CL was attributed to SIN decrease, which resulted from the aboveground biomass removal by clipping. Our results show that clipping can take away aboveground biomass and cause soil nutrients to decrease, which slows down the degraded grassland recovery. This suggests that grazing exclusion may eliminate the effect of nitrogen deposition on aboveground production in alpine grasslands.

We investigated the diet of a forest-dwelling frog species, Morafka's frog (Odorrana morafkai), in a highland forest in Vietnam in relation to habitat disturbance, sex and season. We surveyed the species at 45 sites in forest of varying disturbance and examined its diet using stomach flushing, estimating prey availability via trapping. We detected significantly fewer O. morafkai in highly disturbed habitats compared to moderately disturbed or non-disturbed habitats. We revealed that O. morafkai is a dietary generalist, identifying 28 prey types, primarily invertebrates. Prey composition, the number of prey items per stomach and prey volume per stomach did not vary between disturbance levels. Diet did not vary significantly between sexes, except that females had a higher prey volume. Prey composition in the species varied between seasons, with Coleoptera and Orthoptera dominating the diet in the rainy season and Lepidoptera in the dry season. The number of prey items per stomach and prey volume were significantly higher in the rainy season. There was a significant correlation between prey availability and diet composition. The low number of O. morafkai detected in highly disturbed habitats suggests that this habitat may not be optimal for the species, despite having a generalist feeding strategy and presumed high mobility. This study provides a window into the impact of an increasing threat, habitat disturbance, on forest-dependent amphibian species.

Patients and Methods: We analyzed UK primary care electronic health records from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database (2014-2016), comparing psychotropic drug prescribing initiation and duration between people with dementia from White, Black, and Asian ethnic groups. We repeated analyses in people (aged 50+) without dementia, to explore whether any differences found reflected prescribing patterns in the general older population, or were specific to dementia. Results: We included 53,718 people with and 1,648,889 people without dementia. Among people with dementia, compared to White ethnic groups, Asian people were less likely to be prescribed anti-dementia drugs when they were potentially indicated (adjusted prevalence rate ratio 0.86 (95% Confidence Interval 0.76-0.98)), and received them for on average 15 days/year less. Compared to White groups, Asian and Black individuals with dementia were no more likely to take an antipsychotic drug, but those that had were prescribed them for 17 and 27 days/year more, respectively (190.8 (179.6-199.1) and 200.7 (191.1-206.5) days). Black people were less likely to be prescribed anxiolytics/hypnotics (0.60 (0.44-0.8)), but the duration these drugs were prescribed was similar across ethnic groups. Asian people were more likely to be prescribed anticholinergic drugs (1.43 (1.19-1.73)), in analyses unadjusted for cardiovascular comorbidities. Among people without dementia, those in the Asian and Black ethnic groups were less likely to be prescribed psychotropic drugs, relative to people from White groups. Conclusion: Among people with dementia, Asian groups received less potentially beneficial symptomatic treatments, and Asian and Black groups were prescribed antipsychotic drugs for longer than White ethnic groups. Our findings may indicate care inequalities. C1 [Jones, Mary Elizabeth; Petersen, Irene; Walters, Kate; Bhanu, Cini] UCL, Dept Primary Care & Populat Hlth, London, England.

For aquatic organisms, changes in dissolved oxygen concentration can have major repercussions, notably for physiological processes that have high long-term energetic costs and are more likely to rely on aerobic metabolic pathways. Here we propose a simple college or university-level low-cost laboratory activity that addresses the effect of differences in oxygen concentration on an important physiological property of planarian flatworms: their regeneration capacity. Students were asked to perform measurements and statistically compare the efficacy of the regeneration process between planarians kept in normoxic conditions and others kept in hypoxic conditions. The activity was evaluated by asking students to produce a short laboratory report with all of the sections that a scientific article generally comprises. This hands-on experiment has the benefit of going beyond how planarians are traditionally used in biodiversity classes (i.e. basic anatomy of flatworms) by combining behavioural, physiological and environmental observations while investigating the effects of an environmental variable on the regeneration response. We would further encourage professors to expand even more upon this framework by providing the students with an opportunity to actively engage in all steps inherent to the scientific process.

Numerous studies have focused on environmental detection of perchlorate, especially in water. However, less attention has been paid to the effects of perchlorate on the composition of the microbial community in rivers. Upstream of the Qingyi River, an important source of drinking water for local residents, there are two perchlorate manufacturers. In this study, we selected eight study sites from upstream to downstream of the Qingyi River, including sites located upstream and downstream of the perchlorate manufacturers. Our results indicated that perchlorate was detected in all sites except for QYR2, QYR3, and QYR10. The concentration of perchlorate in the five study sites was much higher than the reference dose proposed by the National Academy of Science, and ranged from 187 to 9647.00 mu g/L. We utilized 16S rDNA high throughput sequencing to analyze changes in the composition of the microbial community, based on the Illumina 2 x 250 MiSeq platform. The results showed that, when microbial communities were exposed to high concentration of perchlorate, there was an increase in the ratio of Betaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, and Saccharibacteria in the microbial community along with a decrease in the ratio of Chloroflexi, Verrucomicrobia, and Gammaproteobacteria. Our study has provided a theoretical basis for the alteration of the microbial community caused by the perchlorate pollution, which maybe have a truly important impact on the quality of groundwater.

The drivers of elevational biodiversity gradients are not yet fully resolved. For instance, there is little understanding of how direct and indirect effects of elevation shape species communities along mountain slopes. In this study, we identify the main drivers of bird diversity along an elevational gradient spanning 2000 m in the Ecuadorian Andes. We simultaneously tested the direct and indirect effects of elevation, temperature, precipitation and vegetation structure on overall bird diversity and on frugivorous and insectivorous birds, using structural equation models (SEMs). We found that elevation was mostly indirectly associated with bird diversity, mediated via abiotic (i.e., temperature, precipitation) and biotic (i.e., vegetation structure) factors. We found consistent positive effects of temperature and vegetation structure and negative effects of precipitation on overall bird diversity and on frugivorous and insectivorous birds. In addition, elevation was directly, positively associated with insectivore richness and abundance, but not with that of frugivores. Our results show that climatic factors and vegetation structure jointly shape the richness of bird communities on tropical mountains. However, other factors, such as biotic interactions or different evolutionary histories of lowland and highland communities, may additionally contribute to elevational patterns in bird diversity. Thus, species communities across tropical mountain slopes are shaped by a multitude of abiotic and biotic factors that need to be studied simultaneously for a mechanistic understanding of patterns in biodiversity.

Such elites shared the economic administration of the brotherhood, the organization of religious festivities and the adaptation of the chapel. The article analyzes how the foundation of the brotherhood did not respond to a process of coercion of the indigenous groups by the Hispanic order. Far from this vision, it is considered that both ethnic groups "lived together" in the corporation by identifying with the logic of subjectivist thinking. Based on the critique of sources and the hypothetical-deductive research methodology, the configuration of a mestizo brotherhood is analyzed, a space in which indigenous and Spanish sealed the permanence of the colonial order under the oath "in the voice of one".

However, most empirical evidence for this relationship is focused on generalized trust, rather than more theoretically appropriate measures of group-based trust. This article evaluates the relationship between ethnic diversity - at the national, regional and local levels - and the degree to which coethnics are trusted more than non-coethnics, a value referred to here as the 'coethnic trust premium'. Using public opinion data from sixteen African countries, this study finds that citizens of ethnically diverse states express, on average, more ethnocentric trust. However, within countries, regional ethnic diversity is associated with less ethnocentric trust. This same negative pattern between diversity and ethnocentric trust appears across districts and enumeration areas within Malawi. The article then shows, consistent with these patterns, that diversity is only detrimental to intergroup trust at the national level when ethnic groups are spatially segregated. These results highlight the importance of the spatial distribution of ethnic groups on intergroup relations, and question the utility of micro-level studies of interethnic interactions for understanding macro-level group dynamics.

Over the last decades, this environment has been influenced by urban growth around its margins, which has consequently led to the discharge of untreated sewage, particularly during the summer season (December-March). Excessive nutrient discharges may lead to the rapid enrichment of organic and inorganic nutrients and consequently, eutrophication. Within this context, organic matter quality and amount evaluations become an essential tool to assess the trophic state of coastal environments. Therefore, the present study aims to characterize the trophic state and define the depositional dynamics based on biopolymer content (carbohydrates, lipids and proteins), total organic carbon, total sulfur and sediment granulometry at the Araruama Lagoon region affected by urban activities (Itajuru Channel and adjacencies). The integration of physio-chemical water and sediment data allowed for the identification of four regions presenting different trophic condition, namely the Itajuru Channel - sandy with high hydrodynamics and undergoing marine influence; a region influenced by salt-production activity; the innermost region, presenting high protein concentrations originating from microbiological activity and the most eutrophic area, located in a marina activity region, marked by high anthropogenic organic matter levels.

Field investigations in the Torres locality (vicinity of Torres town, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil) have highlighted the value of the exposed geological features. These include columnar basalts of the Cretaceous Parana-Etendeka large igneous province, basalt hills and cliffs, non-karst caves, rockfalls, etc. These features are assigned to six geological heritage types, namely igneous, tectonic, geomorphological, sedimentary, palaeogeographical, and engineering types. Three of them (igneous, palaeogeographical, and engineering types) demonstrate global uniqueness. These unique features are exposed at three points, which are proposed as geosites, namely Tone Sul and Tone da Guarita, Mono das Furnas, and Mono do Farol (also geomorphosites). The former of them appears to be the most valuable due to its diversity, and it is ranked as global. The Tones locality provides exceptional opportunities for understanding the events before Gondwana breakup and during the time span of major large igneous province emplacement. The world class geological heritage of Tones indicates a significant potential for geotourism. The presence of state parks popular among visitors, and the notable biodiversity of the study area, would support geotourism growth. However, urban pressure and tourist crowding create risks for local community, and particularly for geosites. Thus, a special plan for sustainable (geo)tourism development in the Tones locality is required.

Yet, their use as bioindicators is sometimes constrained by the time and cost needed for sorting macroinvertebrates specimens and their challenging taxonomic identification, and the huge sampling procedures for capturing rare or incipient fish species, respectively. Given the increasing cost-effectiveness of metazoan identification based on metabarcoding [i e , high-throughput sequencing (HTS) of DNA barcodes] and reliability of species-level identification and the high number of samples that can be processed, its use in biomonitoring of freshwater communities can provide an alternative to morphology-based approaches. However, the accuracy of species assignment in metabarcoding approaches relies on the availability of a comprehensive DNA barcode reference library. Because of the high level of endemicity in the Iberian Peninsula, current public repositories for DNA barcodes may not be informative enough to identify the Iberian fauna to species level. Here, we compiled the Iberian freshwater macroinvertebrates and fishes taxonomic list (including indigenous and non-indigenous species) and the available molecular data for the cytochrome oxidase I DNA barcode (cox/, COI-5P) in public repositories to assess the extent of DNA barcode coverage. The DNA barcode coverage was reported for DNA fragments within the Folmer region (658 bp). Given that FITS platforms provide DNA sequence in the range of 50-400 bp in length, we also reported the second half of the DNA barcode (313 bp, Leray region) and the first part of the Leray region (285 bp, Leray-285), which are short DNA barcodes useful to assign metabarcoding coxl data. For macroinvertebrates, the final taxonomic checklist comprises 3348 species including Mollusca (65 species), Crustacea (101 species) and Insecta (3182 species). We present an initial DNA barcode reference library, with an overall coverage of similar to 35 % of the Iberian taxa. Exploring this data, we find a strong taxonomic bias. Based on Leray-285, Odonata (43 of 79 species barcoded, 54.43 %) and Hemiptera (44 of 81 species barcoded, 54.32 %) were the best represented lineages In contrast, Diptera (393 of 1693 species barcoded, 23.21 %), and Plecoptera (42 of 135 species barcoded, 31.11 %) were underrepresented. For fishes, the available DNA barcode data covered 98.11 % of the indigenous (76) and non-indigenous (30) species. By revealing and quantifying current gaps on the available data (similar to 65 %), we aim to improve efficiency in designing the next steps towards the ambitious yet necessary goal of compiling a complete DNA barcode reference library for Iberian macroinvertebrates and fishes.

This work has focused on two mountainous areas of mainly limestone substrata: the Montsant massif (south of the Catalan pre-coastal ranges, NE Iberian Peninsula) and the Serra de Tramuntana (north of the island of Mallorca). The taxa of macroalgae, diatoms, bryophytes, cormophytes, aquatic invertebrates and vertebrates have been analysed in ten springs of each area, and a total of 500 taxa have been identified in Montsant (ranging between 82-152 taxa per site) and 363 taxa in Serra de Tramuntana (ranging between 55-119 taxa per site). Depending on each spring, the biological groups showing the greatest richness value are either cormophytes, diatoms or invertebrates. The resulting biological richness, which is reported for the first time in Mediterranean crenic systems, is similar to the values found in other published works on springs in the Euro-Siberian biogeographic region, showing their role as outstanding biodiversity hot spots also in Mediterranean environments. The similarity analysis showed that the springs shared a low number of taxa, resulting in a low value of similarity. In conclusion, the results suggested that each spring could represent a unique, unrepeatable community.

However, it is receiving increasing attention, with significant scientific advances being made during the last two decades. Here I review the current knowledge on the topic and propose future research directions within the context of human welfare and global change. Freshwater salinization is caused by a wide range of human activities, with agriculture and resource extraction being the most widely documented. Different studies suggest that it could be affecting around 1/3 of freshwater bodies, and this number will very likely increase in the future due to climate and land use changes. The increase in the salinity of freshwaters is known to cause adverse effects on the fitness and survival of many aquatic organisms, however the osmoregulatory mechanisms underlying these effects are still poorly understood. Moreover, it has been proved that different ions can have different toxicities to aquatic organisms, but most of the research has focused exclusively on Na+ and Cl-. Thus, more investigations on the potential effects of increasing concentrations of other specific ions (e.g. K+, SO42-) are needed. The impact of salinization on freshwater biodiversity can alter ecosystem functioning, although only a few functions have been studied (e.g. leaf litter decomposition). Also, freshwater salinization can affect the delivery of ecosystem services and have direct economic (e.g. infrastructure corrosion) and social (e.g. human health) impacts that have rarely been assessed. The management of this urgent environmental issue needs to be improved through mitigation (e.g. backfilling of mine tailings), remediation (e.g. enhanced wastewater treatment), prevention (e.g. using alternative deicers for roads) and monitoring (e.g. estimating salt loads to freshwater ecosystems) actions.

This study evaluates the seasonal impact of small hydropower stations by analysing and measuring macroinvertebrate community composition. Our objectives were to (1) examine whether the abundance and richness of benthic macroinvertebrates vary according to alterations to the river, (2) identify the families of macroinvertebrates most sensitive to depletion as a consequence of the impact of a hydropower station, and (3) determine whether there is a seasonal component in river regulation that impacts on macroinvertebrate communities. A 167 848 individuals were sampled from 6 different phyla and 10 different orders of Arthropoda representing 116 different macroinvertebrate families, whose distribution and abundance depended on the river, sampling time and sampling site. Ephemeroptera, Diptera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera and Plecoptera were the most representative orders in all seasons of the year, and also had the most abundant families (Baetidae, Caenidae, Chironomidae and Simuliidae). There was no great variation in autumn and winter for the most abundant taxa but it was important variation in spring and summer. Our findings point to differences in macroinvertebrate abundance and richness in aquatic systems impacted by hydropower stations and to a recovery process downstream, where the water level and habitats are not negatively affected by these stations.

However, these aims are highly dependent on the efficiency, accuracy and cost of existent methods for the detection of keystone species and monitoring of biological communities. Rapid advances in eDNA, barcoding and metabarcoding promoted by high-throughput sequencing technologies are generating millions of sequences in a fast way, with a promising cost reduction, and overcoming some difficulties of the traditional taxonomic approaches. This paper provides an updated broad perspective of the current developments in this dynamic field presented in the special session (SS) "The use of molecular tools in ecological and biodiversity assessment of aquatic ecosystems" of the XIX Congress of the Iberian Association of Limnology (AIL2018), held in Coimbra, Portugal. Developments presented are mainly focused on the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain, including Atlantic Macaronesian islands) but include studies in France, Germany, Finland, Russia (Siberia) and South America. The networks within which these researchers are involved are yet even broader, profiting from existing molecular facilities, and traditional taxonomic expertise, which can be viewed as a characteristic of this new research area. It was evident in the SS that the use of molecular tools is widespread, being used to study a diversity of aquatic systems, from rivers' headwaters to estuaries and coastal lagoons, and volcanic, mountain and frozen lakes to hot springs. The organisms targeted are likewise varied and include fish, macroinvertebrates, meiofauna, microalgae such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, other protists, fungi, and bacteria (cyanobacteria and other). Some studies address the whole biodiversity (i.e., all species present independently of the taxonomic group) from environmental samples of water, biofilms and preservative solution from field samples (e.g., ethanol from macroinvertebrate samples). Great advances were acknowledged in the special session, namely in the use of metabarcoding for detecting hidden biodiversity, juvenile stages, low-abundance species, non-indigenous species and toxicity potential, and ultimately for ecological monitoring of diatoms and invertebrates. Yet, several drawbacks were highlighted and need further work, which include: taxonomic gaps in the reference databases (including gaps at species level and on intraspecific variability) or absence of public databases (e.g. for meiofauna), still high sequencing costs, the need of a substantial bioinformatics effort, difficulties in establishing the amount of environmental sample necessary for a good DNA extraction and the need for testing different genetic markers to obtain accurate results.

At the same time, this region is influenced by various threats associated with human activities, including industrialisation and oil excavation. Here, we analyse the abundance and distribution patterns of macrozoobenthic communities along the coast of Ghana. The material was collected in 2012 on nine transects at depths ranging from 25 to 1000 m. Over 200 quantitative samples were collected using a 0.1-m(2) van Veen grab. Generally, the mean density of macrozoobenthos decreased gradually from the shallow zone (25 m: 231.4 +/- 262.2 ind./0.1 m(2)) down to bathyal depths (1000 m: 55.4 +/- 51.4 ind./0.1 m(2)), but we observed intermediate scale variability in distribution patterns among the transects along the Ghanaian coast. Analysis of environmental factors showed no evidence of substantial pollution, although levels of hydrocarbons, barium and some other toxic metals show some local increases at particular stations, especially on the continental slope. Cluster analysis based on Bray-Curtis similarity and abundance of higher taxonomic groups of macrofauna yielded five groups of stations, while SIMPER analysis demonstrated that polychaetes and amphipods contributed most significantly to within-group similarity.

Herein, we isolated a total of 18 Trichoderma strains divided to nine species such as T. atroviride, T. virens, T. velutinum, T. harzianum, T. asperellum, T. koningiopsis, T. aureoviride, H. lixii, and T. koningii from the soils samples, collected from the wetland ecosystem of South Korea. These strains were screened against the pathogens-Macrophomina phaseolina (MP), Fusarium graminearum (FG), and Botrytis cinerea (BC) - by in vitro antagonistic assay. Amongst, T. aureoviride (SKCGW013) showed higher antagonistic activity against the targeted pathogens than other isolates did. The strain SKCGW013 was further used for extraction, purification and analysis of the metabolites by column chromatography (CC) and gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The expression of secondary metabolites regulatory genes of non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), polyketide synthase (PKS) were studied by RT-qPCR. The results showed the presence of eight dominant compounds in the ethyl acetate fraction of the strain SKCGW013 and these compound were then screened by molecular modeling method against phytopathogens. In addition, RT-qPCR study revealed the significant expression of metabolites related genes. Further molecular docking study showed that the compounds from strain SKCGW13 synergistically inhibited the targeted pathogens. Among the compounds - 2H-Pyran, 3-bromo-2-butoxytetrahydro-, cis - exhibited high docking inhibitory energy against the targeted proteins, FgSwi6 and Bcpmr1 from FG and BC respectively. Overall, this study concluded that T. aureoviride SKCGW013 was an excellent source for discovery of novel metabolites as biocontrol agents as evident by its metabolite profile with antifungal activity.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal, transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of cervids (wild and captive) which continues to spread geographically resulting in exposure to potential new host species. The disease agent (PrPCWD) is a misfolded conformer of the cellular prion protein (PrP (c)). In Canada, the disease is endemic in Alberta and Saskatchewan, affecting mule and white-tail deer, with lesser impact on elk and moose. As the disease continues to expand, additional wild ungulate species including bison, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and pronghorn antelope may be exposed. To better understand the species-barrier, we reviewed the current literature on taxa naturally or experimentally exposed to CWD to identify susceptible and resistant species. We created a phylogeny of these taxa using cytochrome B and found that CWD susceptibility followed the species phylogeny. Using this phylogeny we estimated the probability of CWD susceptibility for wild ungulate species. We then compared PrP (c) amino acid polymorphisms among these species to identify which sites segregated between susceptible and resistant species. We identified sites that were significantly associated with susceptibility, but they were not fully discriminating. Finally, we sequenced Prnp from 578 wild ungulates to further evaluate their potential susceptibility. Together, these data suggest the host-range for CWD will potentially include pronghorn, mountain goat and bighorn sheep, but bison are likely to be more resistant. These findings highlight the need for monitoring potentially susceptible species as CWD continues to expand.

TI Differences by Race/Ethnicity in the Prevalence of Clinically Detected and Monitor-Detected Atrial Fibrillation MESA SO CIRCULATION-ARRHYTHMIA AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE atherosclerosis; atrial fibrillation; cardiovascular disease; electrocardiography; prevalence ID RISK-FACTORS; RACIAL-DIFFERENCES; ATHEROSCLEROSIS; COMMUNITIES; BLACKS; WHITES; STROKE; HEALTH AB Background: African Americans are consistently found to have a lower prevalence of clinically detected atrial fibrillation (AF) than whites, despite a higher prevalence of major AF risk factors and higher risk of ischemic stroke. Long-term ambulatory ECG monitors provide the opportunity for unbiased AF detection. We determined differences by race/ethnicity in the prevalence of clinically detected AF and in the proportion with monitor-detected AF. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis in the MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis), a community-based cohort study that enrolled 6814 Americans free of clinically recognized cardiovascular disease in 2000 to 2002. At the 2016 to 2018 examination, 1556 individuals participated in an ancillary study involving ambulatory ECG monitoring and had follow-up for clinically detected AF since cohort entry. Results: Among 1556 participants, 41% were white, 25% African American, 21% Hispanic, and 14% Chinese; 51% were women; and the mean age was 74 years. The prevalence of clinically detected AF after 14.4 years' follow-up was 11.3% in whites, 6.6% in African Americans, 7.8% in Hispanics, and 9.9% in Chinese and was significantly lower in African Americans than in whites, in both unadjusted and risk factor-adjusted analyses (adjusted rate difference, -6.6% [95% CI, -10.1% to -3.1%]; P<0.001). By contrast, in the same individuals, the proportion with monitor-detected AF using a 14-day ambulatory ECG monitor was similar in the 4 race/ethnic groups: 7.1%, 6.4%, 6.9%, and 5.2%, respectively (compared with whites, all P>0.5). Conclusions: The prevalence of clinically detected AF was substantially lower in African American than in white participants, without or with adjustment for AF risk factors. However, unbiased AF detection by ambulatory monitoring in the same individuals revealed little difference in the proportion with AF by race/ethnicity. These findings provide support for the hypothesis of differential detection by race/ethnicity in the clinical recognition of AF, which may have important implications for stroke prevention.

TI Biogeographic Patterns in Members of Globally Distributed and Dominant Taxa Found in Port Microbial Communities SO MSPHERE LA English DT Article DE biogeography; microbial ecology; biomarkers; data mining; machine learning ID RANDOM FORESTS; DIVERSITY; RARE; CLASSIFICATION; SEQUENCES; SPACE AB We conducted a global characterization of the microbial communities of shipping ports to serve as a novel system to investigate microbial biogeography. The community structures of port microbes from marine and freshwater habitats house relatively similar phyla, despite spanning large spatial scales. As part of this project, we collected 1,218 surface water samples from 604 locations across eight countries and three continents to catalogue a total of 20 shipping ports distributed across the East and West Coast of the United States, Europe, and Asia to represent the largest study of port-associated microbial communities to date. Here, we demonstrated the utility of machine learning to leverage this robust system to characterize microbial biogeography by identifying trends in biodiversity across broad spatial scales. We found that for geographic locations sharing similar environmental conditions, subpopulations from the dominant phyla of these habitats (Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Cyanobacteria, and Proteobacteria) can be used to differentiate 20 geographic locations distributed globally. These results suggest that despite the overwhelming diversity within microbial communities, members of the most abundant and ubiquitous microbial groups in the system can be used to differentiate a geospatial location across global spatial scales. Our study provides insight into how microbes are dispersed spatially and robust methods whereby we can interrogate microbial biogeography. IMPORTANCE Microbes are ubiquitous throughout the world and are highly diverse. Characterizing the extent of variation in the microbial diversity across large geographic spatial scales is a challenge yet can reveal a lot about what biogeography can tell us about microbial populations and their behavior. Machine learning approaches have been used mostly to examine the human microbiome and, to some extent, microbial communities from the environment. Here, we display how supervised machine learning approaches can be useful to understand microbial biodiversity and biogeography using microbes from globally distributed shipping ports. Our findings indicate that the members of globally dominant phyla are important for differentiating locations, which reduces the reliance on rare taxa to probe geography. Further, this study displays how global biogeographic patterning of aquatic microbial communities (and other systems) can be assessed through populations of the highly abundant and ubiquitous taxa that dominant the system.

One potential driver for species diversification might be allopatry caused by geographical barriers, such as ridges or trenches, or physiological barriers associated with depth. We analyzed biodiversity and biogeography of 21 morphospecies of the deep-sea isopod family Haploniscidae to investigate barrier effects to species dispersal in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench (KKT) area in the Northwest (NW) Pacific. Our study is based on 2652 specimens from three genera, which were collected during the German-Russian KuramBio I (2012) and II (2016) expeditions as well as the Russian-German SokhoBio (2015) campaign. The sampling area covered two potential geographical barriers (the Kuril Island archipelago and the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench), as well as three depth zones (bathyal, abyssal, hadal). We found significant differences in relative species abundance between abyssal and hadal depths. Haploniscus belyaevi Birstein, 1963 was the dominant species at abyssal stations while H. hydroniscoides Birstein, 1963 was prevalent in the hadal. Species composition also differed significantly across geographical barriers. While H. hydroniscoides was the most abundant species in the open NW Pacific, not a single specimen of this species was found in the Sea of Okhotsk, which is separated from the Pacific basin by the Kuril Islands. Furthermore, H. belyaevi and two morphologically highly similar morphospecies were the only species found in samples from the Sea of Okhotsk, meaning that the other 18 species, which we identified from our samples, did not occur west of the Kuril Islands. In this study, haploniscid species show very diverse patterns in geographic distribution between geographic areas and with depth. Therefore, the KKT might have an isolating effect on both the bathymetric as well as geographic distribution of some haploniscid species from the NW Pacific into the Sea of Okhotsk and from the western to the eastern abyssal margin of the KKT.

Samples, which comprised over 300 echiurans from 12 species of 11 genera belonging to the family Bonelliidae and Thalassematidae, were collected. The family Bonelliidae is most common in abyssal and hadal environments in the world ocean with high abundances in all investigated regions, while Thalassematidae is reported first time from the hadal depth. Species identified as representative of the genera Maxmueileria have been noted first time in Pacific. Previously known echiuran Bonellia pacifica suggested to be Pseudoikedella achaeta. The description of deep-water echiurans from the investigated areas is the second one based on complete specimens with living colouration. The descriptions provide new information on the distribution, abundance, morphology and taxonomic details of the species, which were previously noted from the northwestern Pacific and described from damaged or incomplete specimens. The knowledge of the geographic ranges of these genera are expanded and discussed.

Nevertheless, we found that this legume can be nodulated in this country by slow-growing rhizobial strains which were identified as Bradyrhizobium canariense trough the analysis of the core genes recA and glnII. The analysis of the symbiotic gene nodC showed that these strains belong to the symbiovar genistearum, which commonly nodulates Genistoid legumes. Although two strains nodulating L. leucocephala in China and Brazil were classified within the genus Bradyrhizobium, they belong to undescribed species and to the symbiovars glycinearum and tropici, respectively. Therefore, we report here for the first time the ability of L. leucocephala to establish symbiosis with strains of B. canariense sv genistearum confirming the high promiscuity of L. leucocephala, that allows it to establish symbiosis with rhizobia native to different continents increasing its invasiveness potential.

Each of the 18 G. germanica root nodule isolates displayed unique BOX-PCR patterns, indicating their high level of genomic heterogeneity. Based on the comparative I 6 rDNA sequence analysis, 12 isolates were affiliated to the Bradyrhizobium genus and the other strains were most similar to Rhizobium species. Phylogenetic analysis of the core gene sequences indicated that the studied Bradyrhizobium bacteria were most closely related to Bradyrhizobium japonicum, whereas Rhizobium isolates were most closely related to Rhizobium lusitanum and R. leguminosarum. The phylogenies of nodC and nodZ for the Rhizobium strains were incongruent with each other and with the phylogenies inferred from the core gene sequences. All Rhizobium nodZ gene sequences acquired in this study were grouped with the sequences of Bradyrhizobium strains. Some of the studied Rhizobium isolates were placed in the nodC phylogenetic tree together with reference Rhizobium species, while the others were closely related to Bradyrhizobium bacteria. The results provided evidence for horizontal transfer of nodulation genes between Bradyrhizobium and Rhizobium. However, the horizontal transfer of nod genes was not sufficient for Rhizobium strains to form nodules on G. germanica roots, suggesting that symbiotic genes have to be adapted to the bacterial genome.

(cv. 'Hondia') and Triticum spelta L. (cv. 'Rokosz'), in order to provide new knowledge about the stability and/or changeability of the core microbiome in different plant organs. The endophytic core microbiome is associated with plants throughout their whole life cycle; however, plant organs can determine the actual endophytic community. Therefore, next generation sequencing with MiSeq Illumina technology was applied to identify the endophytic microbiome of T. aestivum and T. spelta. Bioinformatic analyses were performed with the use of the DADA2(1.8) package and R software (3.5.1). It was demonstrated that wheat, which is an important crop plant, was associated with beneficial endophytic bacteria inside the endosperms, germs, roots, leaves, and coleoptiles. Importantly, for the first time, biodiversity was recognized in the coleoptiles of the investigated wheat species. Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas and Janthinobacterium were shown to be common genera for both tested wheat cultivars. Among them, Pseudomonas was found to be the only endophytic genus accompanying both wheat species from the endosperm stage to the development of the leaf. Paenibacillus was recognized as a core genus for the 'Hondia' cv., whereas Pedobacter and Duganella constituted the core microbiome in the 'Rokosz' cv. In addition, the first insight into the unique and yet unrecognized endophytic microbiome of T. spelta is presented. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier GmbH.

In this study, we aim to use robust datasets of small mammals along the entire forest system to disentangle the main drivers for diversity along this gradient. More specifically, we aim to disentangle whether deforestation (recent), biogeographical variables, including 19 bioclimatic variables (historic), or historical trapping bias best describe patterns of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversities using small mammal assembles, from northeastern Brazil to eastern Paraguay. For that, we applied regression tree analyses to determine what environmental variables best describe each of the dimensions of diversity. Additionally, we implemented polynomial regression to test nonlinear relationships between biodiversity metrics and patch size. We found that patterns of overall taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversities; rodent taxonomic diversity; and marsupial functional diversity were better explained by temperature variables. Meanwhile, marsupial taxonomic and phylogenetic diversities, and rodent functional and phylogenetic diversities were best explained by precipitation variables. Furthermore, patch area, trapping, and latitude were never the best descriptors for any of the diversity dimensions. Although all dimensions of biodiversity are correlated, they have unique information and should be considered individually to better understand biodiversity and inform conservation strategies. We found that fragmentation is impactful at a local scale and becomes less important at a biogeographical scale. Therefore, climatic variables drove biogeographical faunal patterns for all clades, probably reflecting important historical assembly process at large spatial scales.

SO JOURNAL OF BIOGEOGRAPHY LA English DT Article DE data curation strategies; distance-decay; environmental DNA; Hill numbers; metabarcoding; sensitivity analysis; spatial partitioning of diversity ID DIVERSITY; SIMILARITY; PATTERNS AB Aim Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly used for analysing and modelling all-inclusive biodiversity patterns. However, the reliability of eDNA-based diversity estimates is commonly compromised by arbitrary decisions for curating the data from molecular artefacts. Here, we test the sensitivity of common ecological analyses to these curation steps, and identify the crucial ones to draw sound ecological conclusions. Location Valloire, French Alps. Taxon Vascular plants and fungi. Methods Using soil eDNA metabarcoding data for plants and fungi from 20 plots sampled along a 1000-m elevational gradient, we tested how the conclusions from three types of ecological analyses: (a) the spatial partitioning of diversity, (b) the diversity-environment relationship, and (c) the distance-decay relationship, are robust to data curation steps. Since eDNA metabarcoding data also comprise erroneous sequences with low frequencies, diversity estimates were further calculated using abundance-based Hill numbers, which penalize rare sequences through a scaling parameter, namely the order of diversity q (Richness with q = 0, Shannon diversity with q similar to 1, Simpson diversity with q = 2). Results We showed that results from different ecological analyses had varying degrees of sensitivity to data curation strategies and that the use of Shannon and Simpson diversities led to more reliable results. We demonstrated that molecular operational taxonomic unit clustering, removal of polymerase chain reaction errors and of cross-sample contaminations had major impacts on ecological analyses. Main conclusions In the Era of Big Data, eDNA metabarcoding is going to be one of the major tools to describe, model and predict biodiversity in space and time. However, ignoring crucial data curation steps will impede the robustness of several ecological conclusions. Here, we propose a roadmap of crucial curation steps for different types of ecological analyses.

This study assesses the tradeoffs and time lag between ecosystem services during the degradation and restoration of a freshwater lake. Changes in land cover and ecosystem service value (ESV) were studied from 1984 to 2015 in Mata Lake. Results suggested that land cover change fluctuated frequently in Mata Lake, specifically for water and lakeside wetland. The ESV change was later than land cover change in time scale, indicating a time lag between land cover change and ESV change. Results of Pearson's correlation analyses showed that tradeoffs in ecosystem services mainly occurred in provisioning and regulating services. We noted that the temporary increase of single ecosystem services such as food production in the lake was detrimental to the long-term development of total ecosystem services. On the contrary, improvement of some regulation services at the cost of provisioning services contributed significantly to total ESV. The biodiversity conservation was significantly related to other ecosystem services, while food production and raw materials were not. Hence, biodiversity conservation is holistic and affected by multiple circumstances. Our research in Mata Lake has significant implications on future restoration and management projects for other lakes worldwide.

Such an environment does not support biodiversity, thus does not provide an ecosystem service, and is very vulnerable to changes and pest attacks. This agricultural production needs high inputs and so cannot be considered to be sustainable. The aim of our work was to assess the diversity of the vineyard sites of South Moravia according to proportions of non-crop vegetation, cropland and bare soil vineyards. The relationship between land-use and locality was analysed with Canoco 5 software for ordination analysis. Areas with bare soil vineyards, cropland and intensive orchards can be regarded as areas that decrease the diversity of the landscape, while elements such as non-crop vegetation and extensive old orchards support and increase landscape diversity. This landscape with high diversity provides an environment for a number of plant and animal species, which leads to the preservation and support of the biodiversity of the whole ecosystem. The highest landscape diversity was assessed in the Mikulov region, with 12% non-crop vegetation and the Straznice region (8%), while the worst situation is in Valtice region, where 53% and in Znojmo 43% of the total are designed for grapevine production (vineyard sites) and used as cropland.

The results showed that forest land was the main matrix type in the study area. During the study period, forest land and unused land were the types of land that had increased and decreased the most, respectively, while the reduced unused land was mainly transferred to forest land and cultivated land. The changes in unused land and construction land were particularly intense, and the land use changes of Guilin as a whole continued to increase during the study period. The value of ecosystem services in Guilin continued to rise, and the value of ecosystem services on forest land accounts for more than 85% of the entire ecosystem. The value of services such as soil formation and protection, water conservation, and biodiversity conservation were higher within the value of each individual service. In contrast, services such as food production had the lowest value, indicating that the service function of Guilin's ecosystem was far greater than the productive function.

It harbours an exceptional biodiversity with numerous endangered plants and animals. Indeed, several recent studies have been carried out in TESF to consolidate judgment of its importance for conservation in Ivory Coast. These investigations have mentioned the presence of threatened monkeys and frogs. Currently, small mammals of the TESF remain unknown despite the consensus around their importance in natural biotopes. Yet small terrestrial mammals are known to be good indicators of the conservation status of many tropical ecosystems. This study is a preliminary exploration of terrestrial small mammal communities in the Tanoe-Ehy Swamp Forest. It aims to determine species composition and reveal their implication in the conservation of the Tanoe-Ehy Swamp Forest. Thus, the three main habitat types (dryland forests, swamp forests and raphials (Raphia-dominated community)) were sampled using conventional Sherman and Victor wooden snap traps. With a trapping effort of 8400 trap nights, 294 individuals, representing nine species of rodents and four species of shrews were collected. The rodent community was dominated by Hylomyscus simus (n = 135), followed by Praomys rostratus (n = 65) and Malacomys edwardsi (n = 18). Crocidura buettikoferi (n = 22) was the most abundant shrew. The species richness and diversity index were higher in drylands than in swamp forests and raphials. Swamp forests showed the highest number of trapped animals (n = 126), followed by the dryland forests (n = 107) and the raphials with 63 individuals. One-way ANOVA test revealed significant differences (p <= 0.05) between the abundance of terrestrial small mammals of the three sampled habitat types. Similarity indices showed that dryland and swamp forests were largely colonised by the same species. Three species are listed as threatened according to the criteria of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Those are one rodent, Hylomyscus baeri, listed as Endangered (EN), and two shrews, Crocidura buettikoferi and Crocidura grandiceps, which are both Near Threatened (NT). This study reinforces the importance of TESF for fauna conservation in Ivory Coast.

SO ORNITHOLOGICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Forest dependent species; Habitat heterogeneity; Nocturnal bird; Oil palm smallholding ID HABITAT HETEROGENEITY; PLANTATION ESTATES; CONSERVATION VALUE; BIODIVERSITY; MONOCULTURE; POLYCULTURE; SMALLHOLDINGS; IMPACTS; AGRICULTURE; SPILLOVER AB A high demand for palm oil has led to the continued expansion of oil palm agriculture at the expense of tropical forests and forest biotic communities in many developing countries. The response of wildlife to oil palm establishment has been shown to vary according to taxa, and many forest species may not be able to adapt to the altered landscape. Many nocturnal bird species have been recorded in oil palm agriculture. Whether such forest species can also thrive in such a landscape is not known, and their responses to habitat complexity are poorly understood. We conducted point surveys of nocturnal birds (Tytonidae, Strigiformes and Caprimulgiformes over 80 points spaced at least 800 m apart and revisited five times) in oil palm smallholdings at Tanjung Karang, Kuala Selangor. Environmental factors measured at each point included: average height of oil palm stands, palm density, crop richness, and distances to the nearest forest, river and road. We recorded a total of 577 individuals of seven species. Palm density and distance to river were found to positively influence nocturnal bird species richness, whereas distance to the nearest forest was found to negatively influence avian species richness. In the case of abundance, number of oil palms, crop richness, and distance to the nearest river were found to influence nocturnal bird abundance positively in the smallholdings; however. distance to the nearest forest was found to influence bird abundance negatively. These findings suggest that maintaining key vegetation structure while reducing manmade structures such as roads may benefit nocturnal bird species in the smallholdings particularly those of open and semi-open habitats. However, the number of forest-associated species remained low in the smallholdings, which may only serve as suboptimal habitat for these birds. This implies that forest-associated species may not be able to persist in such landscapes.

Attributes of vegetation structure and patch structure have been considered critical factors in sustaining species diversity, but their relative importance remains unclear. This study aimed at identifying key vegetation and patch structure variables for bird species richness and examining their relative importance. We surveyed and mapped all individual birds in a 50-ha forest-farm landscape mosaic over three breeding seasons and recorded the vegetation in 286 patches of six land-use types. Native forests and conifer plantations (covering 59% of the area) contained 89% of the individuals and all of the bird species recorded. The effects of vegetation structure variables, tree family richness, and foliage coverage were more significant than those of patch-structure variables. Although conifer plantations were low in tree family richness of the canopy layer, they had a high tree family richness in the sub-canopy layer, and had similar bird density and species richness values as native forests. Creating and maintaining patches with a complex vegetation structure are critical for supporting animal abundance and species diversity. Forest patches dominated by only a few tree species in the canopy layer can be greatly improved by increasing the floristic composition of the sub-canopy layer. Large patches with a complex vegetation structure are important for sustaining biodiversity and should be kept as intact as possible.

The present study documents for the first time the avifaunal diversity and abundance of urban and riverine sites of Layyah. Potential habitats around the city were identified and three study sites were selected, one in each of the main habitat types. A total of 223 species was recorded: 92 residents, 87 winter visitors, 42 passage migrants and two new records from the area. A Shannon Wiener Index of 4.36 indicates that the area has a high level of biodiversity. Of the species recorded, 16 are included in the IUCN Red list as vulnerable (N=6), near threatened (N=9) or endangered (N=1). The most abundant species were House Crow Corvus splendens, House Sparrow Passer domesticus, Common Myna Acridotheres tristis and Common Starling Sturnus vulgaris. Two species, Houbam or McQueen's Bustard Chlamydotis macqueenii and Black-headed Ibis Threskiornis melanocephalus were recorded for the first time from the area. Potential threats to the avian diversity of the area are hunting, habitat loss, and pollution.

We investigated the biodiversity of crust bryophytes in karst rocky desertification areas from Guizhou Province, China. A total of 145 species in 22 families and 56 genera were identified. According to frequency and coverage, seven candidate dominant mosses were screened out, and five drought-resistant indexes of them were measured. Hypnum leptothallum, Racopilum cuspidigerum, and Hyophila involuta have high drought adaptability. We explored the interactions between two dominant mosses (H. leptothallum, H. involuta) and the structure of microbial communities in three karst rocky desertification types. Microbial diversity and function analysis showed that both moss species and karst rocky desertification types affect microbial communities. Moss species much more strongly affected the diversity and changed the community composition of these microbial groups. Bacteria were more sensitive in the microbiome as their communities changed strongly between mosses and drought resistance factors. Moreover, several species of fungi and bacteria could be significantly associated with three drought-resistant indexes: Pro (free proline content), SOD (superoxide dismutase activity), and POD (peroxidase activity), which were closely related to the drought adaptability of mosses. Our results enforced the potential role of moss-associated microbes that are important components involved in the related biological processes when bryophytes adapted to arid habitats, or as one kind of promoters in the distribution pattern of early mosses succession in karst rocky desertification areas.

Methods Participants included six primary care clinics taking part in a pilot study of strategies designed to improve partner notification, follow-up and testing for reinfection. Rates of retesting between 6 weeks and 6 months of a positive chlamydia or gonorrhoea diagnosis were compared across two time periods: (1) a historical control period (no systematic approach to retesting) and (2) during an intervention period involving clinician education, patient advice about reinfection risk reduction and retesting, and short messaging service/text reminders sent 2-3 months post-treatment inviting return for retesting. Retesting was calculated for demographic subgroups (reported with 95% CI). Results Overall 25.4% (61 of 240, 95% CI 20.0 to 31.4) were retested during the control period and 47.9% (116 of 242, 95% CI 43.2 to 55.1) during the intervention period. Retesting rates increased across most demographic groups, with at least twofold increases observed for men, those aged 20-29 years old, and Maori and Pasifika ethnic groups. No significant difference was observed in repeat positivity rates for the two time periods, 18% (11 of 61) retested positive during the control and 16.4% (19 of 116) during the intervention period (p>0.05). Conclusions Clinician and patient information about retesting and a more systematic approach to follow-up resulted in significant increases in proportions tested for reinfection within 6 months. These simple strategies could readily be implemented into primary healthcare settings to address low rates of retesting for bacterial sexually transmitted infections.

The formal creation of NNP in 1974 fundamentally altered the scene, and congregated pastoralists, farmers, hunters, and conservationists in the struggles over resource access and use. While 'ancestral rights' continued to be invoked by those who had used the land previously, the NNP management and other actors could now call upon the imperatives of conservation to either curtail access to the Park and its resources or evict people from the Park. Following the downfall of the Derg regime in 1991, when Ethiopia adopted an ethnic federalism, attempts were made to assign a designated territory to each ethnic group. Thus, the struggles over NNP were further complicated by the renewal of the significance of ethnicity and the meanings of actors' strategies, given that the Park straddles the border between two regional states established under the new system of governance. This article is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in and around NNP. It demonstrates how attempts to introduce territoriality to hitherto unterritorialised spaces and ethnic groups resulted in the multiplication of the number of actors struggling for access to, and/or governance authority over, NNP and in the intensification of these struggles. The article argues for a shift in understanding people-park conflicts from a merely ecological and economistic approach to one that also situates these conflicts in the national politics of ethnic territorialisation.

Within this intellectual milieu, the Half-Earth project's call to enclose at least half the planet within protected areas has been defended as an ecocentric approach that overrides the concerns of anthropocentric 'critical social scientists'. One group of advocates has even attacked such scientists as 'neo-Marxists' dedicated to the 'mastery' of nature. To steer the debate in a more constructive direction, we offer an ecosocialist response to the ecocentric advocacy of the Half-Earth project, specifically from the perspective of Marx's theory of metabolic rift. While we are sympathetic to the project's motivation and admire its audacity, we note important deficiencies in the ways the moral imperative has been asserted against social justice, and in the problematic comprehension of the underlying drivers of biodiversity loss, which threaten to undermine its objectives. Nonetheless, opposition to capitalist instrumentalism serves as an important point of possible convergence between conservation and anti-capitalist struggle. Further engagement with the ecological-Marxist critique of capitalism could strengthen efforts to address the biodiversity crisis while resolving important shortcomings in the Half-Earth project.

Non-random species turnover occurs in places where environmental filtering plays the key role in determining local community structure, whereas dispersal limitation causes nested patterns of species assemblages organized by non-random colonization processes. However, factors that modify the relative importance of these processes remain unclear for many ecosystems. We tested whether salinity gradient affect the relative importance of environmental filtering and dispersal limitation for structuring epifaunal and infaunal communities in three lagoons in Hokkaido, Japan, that have different salinity gradients. Specifically, we compared patterns of species diversity and similarity of eelgrass-associated invertebrate assemblages across space. Beta diversity (i.e., species turnover among different sites in each lagoon) was highest in Akkeshi, the lagoon with the salinity gradients. Variation partitioning of similarity components showed that spatial variation in the community assemblage pattern was mostly explained by environmental filtering in Akkeshi, but that it was explained more by species dispersal patterns and the difference in eelgrass biomass and shoot density in Notoro and Saroma, the lagoons without clear salinity gradient. Redundancy analysis showed that spatial variation in community structure was related to salinity and eelgrass biomass in Akkeshi, and to eelgrass aboveground biomass in Notoro and Saroma. Our findings highlight the effects of environmental heterogeneity on beta diversity and community structure and indicate that environmental gradients can be a key factor causing a shift in the relative importance of different metacommunity processes and the role of the foundation species in provisioning habitat.

This is the third genus of Polyancistrini known from Hispaniola and the seventh genus of the tribe. Tainacanthus is distinctive due to the unique architecture of its pronotum, which is a large and bulbous shield with an extended metazona that covers and protects the stridulator)/ apparatus surrounded by a relatively small number of large and sharp spines. Additionally, all legs are armed with larger and more robust spines than those of Polyancistrus Audinet-Serville, 1831, its most likely closest relative. Tainacanthus inhabits the highest mountains of the Dominican Cordillera Central at over 2,400 m above sea level, living among hard-leaf evergreen vegetation interspersed with pine forests. The type locality is included within the Armando Bermudez National Park, one of the most important protected areas in the Dominican Republic.

From 97 collecting localities in the Province of Matanzas, we report 27 taxa out of the 34 known from the Cuban archipelago; 21 of them are extant while the other six are extinct. Antrozous koopmani and Natalus primus are considered locally extinct in Matanzas, as in most of the archipelago today, but had a wider distribution in the past that lasted until very late in the Holocene. The extinct endemics, Artibeus anthonyi, and Phyllops vetus, are reported for the first time in the province, and the distribution records of Phyllops falcatus, Lasiurus pfeifferi, Lasiurus insularis, Chilonatalus macer, and Eumops ferox are updated and expanded. These records make Matanzas the second richest province in bat diversity of the Cuban archipelago and an area of considerable conservation potential.

Roads for territorial expansion and resource extraction were the core agenda of the colonial project in Northeast India. The post-colonial Indian state on the other hand built roads in the region for securing the borders, promoting national integration, and linking external markets. This article posits that road building has always been an act of power, which has at different times been aimed at smoothening relationships, securing borders, (dis)connecting people, enabling trade, creating spaces of contestation, or diluting boundaries between varied ethnic groups. The article analyzed the colonial state-making project through road construction and linked to the contemporary Indian state approach to infrastructure development in tribal-dominated areas of Northeast India.

A total of 806 scientific bottom trawl hauls from 15 years of surveys (2001-2015) were analyzed covering a depth range from 38 to 800 m. Marine litter was detected in 88% of the hauls sampled, with a mean value of 1.39 +/- 0.13 kg/km(2). For the plastic fraction, the mean value obtained was 2.73 +/- 0.26 kg/km(2), with its presence in 66% of the sampled hauls. Amongst a series of analyzed factors, that may explain the distribution of seafloor plastics in the study area, sampling area, bathymetric strata and distance to the coastline were identified as significant. High quantities of seafloor plastics were observed along the northwestern coast of Mallorca, which could be related to oceanographic features, and in the continental shelf, close to the coastline, as well as in the upper slope. However, no increasing or decreasing temporal trend in abundance of seafloor plastics was seen throughout the 15 years of scientific surveys.

These organisms create some of the most species-rich habitats in the deep sea and, for this reason, they must be properly protected and managed. In this study, we aimed to identify suitable habitat for multiple CWC taxa off the Brazilian continental margin and compare their environmental niches. Habitat suitability models were developed using the Maxent approach, which allowed for the prediction of species distribution and for the identification of potential 'hot spot' areas that may be important for biodiversity conservation. Ecological niches were determined by a PCA-env approach, and niche similarity and equivalence were evaluated based on niche overlap using the Schoener's D metric. Potentially suitable habitat for Octocorallia covered a broad latitudinal range encompassing nearly the entire Brazilian continental margin, whereas Scleractinia had greater potentially suitable habitat in the Central and Southern areas. Scleractinian species were observed to slightly differ in their environmental niche, with non-reef-forming species being more tolerant to a wider range of environmental conditions in comparison with reef-forming species, inhabiting a wider area of the South American continental margin. Due to the high potential suitability for several CWC species, the Central and Southern parts of the Brazilian continental margin should be considered as potential areas high CWC diversity. Considering the current state of the art and strategic assessment tools, these areas are important targets for conservation, management, and environmental impact assessment. Most reef-forming species had similar but not directly equivalent ecological niches, indicating that mapping efforts and management planning should consider CWCs at the species level.

For analyses, the GOM was split in 4 geographic sectors (NE, NW, SE, and SW) and 6 depth classes (inshore, upper shelf, lower shelf, upper slope, lower slope, and abyssal plain) for a total of 24 geographic-depth polygons. The northern GOM contained higher species richness than the south, the east more than the west. Species richness decreased with depth with maxima occurring on the upper shelf. Bivalves and gastropods dominated each geographic sector and depth class, together comprising >90% of the molluscan species richness. Assemblages were structured by depth more than by geographic sector. GOM molluscs fell into 3 broad depth-based assemblages: the inshore and continental shelf, the continental slope, and the abyssal plain species combined with the western lower slope. Geographically, taxonomic distinctness analysis indicated most NE depths fell below average distinctness and by depth polygons above and below the continental shelf break were frequently distinct. Cluster analysis based on taxonomic dissimilarity agreed with the analyses based on the species occurrence data. Mollusc feeding strategies largely followed estimated proportions for the larger Atlantic. Carnivory and suspension feeding were the most common with grazing, herbivory, and parasitism following behind. Chemosymbiotic species were also prevalent due to the widespread occurrence of cold seep habitats. Further taxonomic research and more sampling are needed to determine patterns at finer scales.

Large-scale distribution data for plants are, however, often restricted to either certain taxonomic groups or geographic regions. Range maps only exist for a small subset of all plant species and digitally available point-occurrence information is biased both geographically and taxonomically. Floras and checklists represent an alternative, yet rarely used potential source of information. They contain highly curated information about the species composition of a clearly defined area, and together virtually cover the entire global land surface. Here, we report on our recent efforts to mobilize this information for macroecological and biogeographical analyses in the GIFT database, the Global Inventory of Floras and Traits. Location Global. Taxon Land plants (Embryophyta). Methods GIFT integrates plant distributions from regional Floras and checklists with functional traits, phylogenetic information, and region-level geographic, environmental and socio-economic data. It contains information about the floristic status (native, endemic, alien and naturalized) and takes advantage of the wealth of trait information in the regional Floras, complemented by data from global trait databases. Results GIFT 1.0 holds species lists for 2,893 regions across the whole globe including ~315,000 taxonomically standardized species names (i.e. c. 80% of all known land plant species) and ~3 million species-by-region occurrences. Based on a hierarchical and taxonomical derivation scheme, GIFT contains information for 83 functional traits and more than 2.3 million trait-by-species combinations and achieves unprecedented coverage in categorical traits such as woodiness (~233,000 spp.) or growth form (~213,000 spp.). Main conclusions Here, we present the structure, content and automated workflows of GIFT and a corresponding web-interface () as proof of concept for the feasibility and potential of mobilizing aggregated biodiversity data for global macroecological and biogeographical research.

However, less is known about the relationship between ecosystems primary productivity and the evolutionary history of biota. Here, we analyse how global primary productivity relates to the phylogenetic structure of vertebrate assemblages, and to the distribution of the most distinct lineages and recently diversified clades. Location Global. Taxon Amphibians, birds and mammals. Methods We calculated relative phylogenetic diversity (i.e. phylogenetic diversity corrected for species richness), standardized effect size of the richness of top 25% evolutionary distinct species and of top 25% species-level lineage diversification rates. We related these three metrics to mean net primary productivity (NPP) at the global scale, and for each zoogeographic region. We also tested the influence of the spatial scaling of species pool on the overall analyses (global, hemispheric and zoogeographic regions-based species pools). Results Phylogenetic diversity (corrected for species richness) of the three taxa decreases with NPP (in contrast with species richness) and varies considerably in space. High productivity sites harbour more closely related species than low productivity sites consistently across zoogeographic zones. However, the phylogenetically most distinct species are also found in high productivity sites, while the top most rapidly diversifying lineages are found in the least productive sites. Modifying the spatial extent of the species pool did not affect the results much. Conclusions Benign conditions in high productivity sites (a) result in denser niche packing and thus allow for the coexistence of many closely-related species and (b) protect the persistence of evolutionary distinct species. Low productivity sites may harbour fewer, more distinct and temporarily more variable niches that allow maintenance of unique lineages for longer periods of time.

At larger areas, power laws best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes at finer spatial grains in continuous vegetation. We asked which function describes SARs best at small grains and explored how sampling methodology or the environment influence SAR shape. Location Palaearctic grasslands and other non-forested habitats. Taxa Vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens. Methods We used the GrassPlot database, containing standardized vegetation-plot data from vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens spanning a wide range of grassland types throughout the Palaearctic and including 2,057 nested-plot series with at least seven grain sizes ranging from 1 cm(2) to 1,024 m(2). Using nonlinear regression, we assessed the appropriateness of different SAR functions (power, power quadratic, power breakpoint, logarithmic, Michaelis-Menten). Based on AICc, we tested whether the ranking of functions differed among taxonomic groups, methodological settings, biomes or vegetation types. Results The power function was the most suitable function across the studied taxonomic groups. The superiority of this function increased from lichens to bryophytes to vascular plants to all three taxonomic groups together. The sampling method was highly influential as rooted presence sampling decreased the performance of the power function. By contrast, biome and vegetation type had practically no influence on the superiority of the power law. Main conclusions We conclude that SARs of sessile organisms at smaller spatial grains are best approximated by a power function. This coincides with several other comprehensive studies of SARs at different grain sizes and for different taxa, thus supporting the general appropriateness of the power function for modelling species diversity over a wide range of grain sizes. The poor performance of the Michaelis-Menten function demonstrates that richness within plant communities generally does not approach any saturation, thus calling into question the concept of minimal area.

Recently, it has been proposed to extend correlative species distribution models (SDMs) by taking into account (a) covariance between species occurrences in so-called joint species distribution models (JSDMs) and (b) ecological assembly rules within the SESAM (spatially explicit species assemblage modelling) framework. Yet, little guidance exists on how these approaches could be combined. We, thus, aim to compare the accuracy of assemblage predictions derived from stacked and from joint SDMs. Location Switzerland. Taxon Birds, tree species. Methods Based on two monitoring schemes (national forest inventory and Swiss breeding bird atlas), we built SDMs and JSDMs for tree species (at 100 m resolution) and forest birds (at 1 km resolution). We tested accuracy of species assemblage and richness predictions on holdout data using different stacking procedures and ecological assembly rules. Results Despite minor differences, results were consistent between birds and tree species. Cross-validated species-level model performance was generally higher in SDMs than JSDMs. Differences in species richness and assemblage predictions were larger between stacking procedures and ecological assembly rules than between stacked SDMs and JSDMs. On average, predictions were slightly better for stacked SDMs compared to JSDMs, probabilistic stacks outperformed binary stacks, and ecological assembly rules yielded best predictions. Main conclusions When predicting the composition of species assemblages, the choice of stacking procedure and ecological assembly rule seems more decisive than differences in underlying model type (SDM vs. JSDM). JSDMs do not seem to improve community predictions compared to SDMs or improve predictions for rare species. Still, JSDMs may provide additional insights into community assembly and may help deriving hypotheses about prevailing biotic interactions in the system. We provide simple rules of thumb for choosing appropriate modelling pathways. Future studies should test these preliminary guidelines for other taxa and biogeographical realms as well as for other JSDM algorithms.

Variations in key abiotic factors such as temperature and salinity may therefore negatively influence marine organisms that are already threatened by intensive fisheries. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that future ocean warming and freshening will affect the fitness and survival of the overexploited snail Trophon geversianus in Southern Patagonia. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effect of a 50 day incubation period of five temperatures (1, 5, 9, 12 and 15 degrees C) and two salinities (25 and 30 psu), (which correspond to current and projected conditions for Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic regions), on the physiological energetics (ingestion rate, absorption efficiency, oxygen uptake and scope for growth (SFG)) of the edible whelk T. geversianus. Our results showed no significant effects for salinity or the combination of temperature and salinity on T. geversianus bioenergetics. On the contrary, incubation at low temperatures (1 and 5 degrees C) was shown to affect the ingestion rate, absorption efficiency, oxygen uptake and SFG for T. geversianus, whereas for specimens incubated at 12 and 15 degrees C, physiological rates remained similar to control. Our data suggests that T. geversianus might be robust to warming and future variations of salinity, but longer term experiments are needed to ensure that no reduction of performance will occur after an extended incubation time from an increase in temperature.

To reduce costs, molecular methods have been proposed as alternatives to morphology-based monitoring. Metatranscriptomics can contribute to promote both cost-effectiveness and accuracy of biological assessments of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we describe and evaluate the construction of a metatranscriptome dataset from a pelagic crustacean zooplankton community. We sampled zooplankton in one marine station, named LW02, in the North Sea, in both winter and summer, and generated transcripts using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT), a third-generation nanopore-based sequencing technology. ONT is, uniquely, capable of sequencing RNA directly, rather than depending on reverse transcription and PCR, and applicable to be used directly in the field. We found that metatranscriptomics is capable of species detection, including screening for the presence of endoparasites, hence competing with morphological identification. Taxonomic analysis based on ribosomal 18S transcripts identified calanoid copepods, particularly Temora longicornis and Acartia clausi, as the most abundant community members. Moreover, up to 40.4% and 50.5% of all sequences could be assigned to predicted genes in the winter and summer sample, respectively. The most abundant mRNA transcripts with known function coded for essential metabolic processes. GO term annotation revealed that genes involved in glycolytic and translation-related processes were most expressed in the community. Although small in scale, our study provides the basis for future efforts to characterize the metatranscriptome of marine zooplankton communities and its application in biomonitoring programs.

However, little is known about how organismal responses to OA may be influenced by common phenomena such as autotomy and sexual dimorphism. This study evaluated the long-term (120 days) combined effects of OA (pH 7.7), experimental cheliped amputation and sex on physiological stress (mortality, growth, number of molts, cheliped regeneration and startle response) and energy budget (lipid and calcium contents) in the intertidal sexually-dimorphic hermit crab Pagurus criniticornis. Crabs exposed to OA reduced survivorship (46%), molting frequency (36%) and lipid content (42%). Autotomised crabs and males molted more frequently (39% and 32%, respectively). Males presented higher regeneration (33%) and lower lipid content (24%). The few synergistic effects recorded did not indicate any clear pattern among treatments however, (1) a stronger reduction in lipid content was recorded in non-autotomised crabs exposed to low pH; (2) calcium content was higher in males than females only for autotomised crabs under control pH; and (3) autotomised females showed a proportionally slower activity recovery than autotomised males. Although our results suggest an effect of long-term exposure to low pH on the physiological stress and energy budget of Pagurus criniticomis, the physiological repertoire and plasticity associated with limb regeneration and the maintenance of dimorphism in secondary sexual characters may provide resilience to long-term exposure to OA.

Concurrently, populations of the European oyster, Ostrea edulis, are in decline. We quantified the functional role of the native oyster, O. edulis, in terms of nutrient cycling and associated infaunal biodiversity and compared it directly to that of the invading oyster, M. gigas. The presence and density of both species were manipulated in the field and we tested for differences in concentration of ammonium, phosphate, total oxidised nitrogen and silicate in pore-water; total organic nitrogen and carbon in sediment; microbial activity; chlorophyll concentration; and the assemblage structure and richness of associated benthic taxa. No differences in nutrient cycling rates or associated benthic assemblages were identified between both oyster species. Nutrient concentrations were mostly affected by differences in oyster density and their significance varied among sampling events. Our findings suggest that M. gigas could compensate for the loss of ecosystem functions performed by O. edulis in areas where native oysters have been extirpated.

The problem arises in a variety of contexts, including wildlife forensics, invasive species detection and biodiversity monitoring. Existing approaches perform well under ideal conditions but are sensitive to a variety of common violations of the assumptions they rely on. Results In this article, we introduce Mycorrhiza, a machine learning approach for the genotype assignment problem. Our algorithm makes use of phylogenetic networks to engineer features that encode the evolutionary relationships among samples. Those features are then used as input to a Random Forests classifier. The classification accuracy was assessed on multiple published empirical SNP, microsatellite or consensus sequence datasets with wide ranges of size, geographical distribution and population structure and on simulated datasets. It compared favorably against widely used assessment tests or mixture analysis methods such as STRUCTURE and Admixture, and against another machine-learning based approach using principal component analysis for dimensionality reduction. Mycorrhiza yields particularly significant gains on datasets with a large average fixation index (FST) or deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Moreover, the phylogenetic network approach estimates mixture proportions with good accuracy. Availability and implementation Mycorrhiza is released as an easy to use open-source python package at github.com/jgeofil/mycorrhiza.

Humanity is counting on forests to sequester and store a substantial portion of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide produced globally. However, the unprecedented rate of climate change, deforestation, and accidental importation of invasive insects and diseases are threatening the health and productivity of forests, and their capacity to provide these services. Knowledge of genetic diversity, local adaptation, and genetic control of key traits is required to predict the adaptive capacity of tree populations, inform forest management and conservation decisions, and improve breeding for productive trees that will withstand the challenges of the 21st century. Genomic approaches have well accelerated the generation of knowledge of the genetic and evolutionary underpinnings of nonmodel tree species, and advanced their applications to address these challenges. This special issue of Evolutionary Applications features 14 papers that demonstrate the value of a wide range of genomic approaches that can be used to better understand the biology of forest trees, including species that are widespread and managed for timber production, and others that are threatened or endangered, or serve important ecological roles. We highlight some of the major advances, ranging from understanding the evolution of genomes since the period when gymnosperms separated from angiosperms 300 million years ago to using genomic selection to accelerate breeding for tree health and productivity. We also discuss some of the challenges and future directions for applying genomic tools to address long-standing questions about forest trees.

TI Tracing the footprints of a moving hybrid zone under a demographic history of speciation with gene flow SO EVOLUTIONARY APPLICATIONS LA English DT Article DE CDMetaPOP; cline analysis; conifers; forest management; hybrid zone movement; hybrid zones; range dynamics ID LINKAGE DISEQUILIBRIUM; CLIMATE-CHANGE; ADAPTIVE INTROGRESSION; SECONDARY CONTACT; LOCAL ADAPTATION; WHITE PINES; HYBRIDIZATION; RANGE; EVOLUTIONARY; ABUNDANCE AB A lack of optimal gene combinations, as well as low levels of genetic diversity, is often associated with the formation of species range margins. Conservation efforts rely on predictive modelling using abiotic variables and assessments of genetic diversity to determine target species and populations for controlled breeding, germplasm conservation and assisted migration. Biotic factors such as interspecific competition and hybridization, however, are largely ignored, despite their prevalence across diverse taxa and their role as key evolutionary forces. Hybridization between species with well-developed barriers to reproductive isolation often results in the production of offspring with lower fitness. Generation of novel allelic combinations through hybridization, however, can also generate positive fitness consequences. Despite this possibility, hybridization-mediated introgression is often considered a threat to biodiversity as it can blur species boundaries. The contribution of hybridization towards increasing genetic diversity of populations at range margins has only recently gathered attention in conservation studies. We assessed the extent to which hybridization contributes towards range dynamics by tracking spatio-temporal changes in the central location of a hybrid zone between two recently diverged species of pines: Pinus strobiformis and P. flexilis. By comparing geographic cline centre estimates for global admixture coefficient with morphological traits associated with reproductive output, we demonstrate a northward shift in the hybrid zone. Using a combination of spatially explicit, individual-based simulations and linkage disequilibrium variance partitioning, we note a significant contribution of adaptive introgression towards this northward movement, despite the potential for differences in regional population size to aid hybrid zone movement. Overall, our study demonstrates that hybridization between recently diverged species can increase genetic diversity and generate novel allelic combinations. These novel combinations may allow range margin populations to track favourable climatic conditions or facilitate adaptive evolution to ongoing and future climate change.

TI Studies on hill stream fish photosensitivity with psoralene and retene photosensitizers SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Garra gotyla; Phototsensitizers; Psoralene; Retene; Tortor; UV-B radiation ID ULTRAVIOLET-RADIATION; LIPID-PEROXIDATION; UV AB Aim: A study was designed to measure the solar UV-B in Uttarakhand, Garhwal region and to observe the effect of retene and psoralene photosensitizers on hill stream fishes, Tortor and Gana gotyla in the presence of natural solar ultraviolet and equal intensity of artifcial UV-B radiation. Methodology : Solar UV-B was measured with the help of Kipps and Zonen radiometer having UV-B sensors. Experimental sites selected were Dehradun and Tehri located in Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. The artificial radiation was provided with Philips UV-B Lamps. Mortality, biochemical and enzymological parameters, which included glutathione, glucose-6-phosphatase, catalase and lipid peroxidation were analyzed. Results : The data of monitoring of UV-B showed that the maximum UV-B intensity was observed during the month of May to August and the minimum was in the month of December to February. Mortality rate of fish exposed to solar radiation, artificial UV-B, psoralene and retene indicated highest with 26% in Tor tor, exposed with psoralene+ artificial UV-B. Reduced glutathione, glucose-6-phosphatase and catalase level decreased in all the groups compared to control. The maximum reduction in GSH level was observed after treatment of artificial UV-B + psoralene in Tortor, while maximum reduction in catalase and glucose-6- phosphatase was observed after retene and artificial UV-B. Interpretation : Tor for and Garra gotyla are important hill stream fishes. Retene and psoralene are natural photosensitizers present in the aquatic ecosystem and become phototoxic by generating oxidative radicals. Artificial UV-B was more toxic than natural solar radiation and Tor for was found more sensitive than Garra gotyla. Enhanced UV-B with retene and psoralene photosensitizers affect hill stream fishes and aquatic biodiversity.

TI The fate of Madagascar's rainforest habitat SO NATURE CLIMATE CHANGE LA English DT Article ID RANOMAFANA-NATIONAL-PARK; LEMURS VARECIA-VARIEGATA; SEED DISPERSAL; CLIMATE-CHANGE; RUFFED LEMUR; DEFORESTATION; CONSERVATION; POPULATION; DIVERSITY; PATTERNS AB Climate change and habitat loss threaten species survival in Madagascar. Ruffed lemurs, a representative species in the eastern rainforest, could lose 38-93% of their habitat from climate change and deforestation by 2070; protecting areas from deforestation is necessary to protect Malagasy biodiversity. Madagascar has experienced extensive deforestation and overharvesting, and anthropogenic climate change will compound these pressures. Anticipating these threats to endangered species and their ecosystems requires considering both climate change and habitat loss effects. The genus Varecia (ruffed lemurs), which is composed of two Critically Endangered forest-obligate species, can serve as a status indicator of the biodiverse eastern rainforest of Madagascar. Here, we combined decades of research to show that the suitable habitat for ruffed lemurs could be reduced by 29-59% from deforestation, 14-75% from climate change (representative concentration pathway 8.5) or 38-93% from both by 2070. If current protected areas avoid further deforestation, climate change will still reduce the suitable habitat by 62% (range: 38-83%). If ongoing deforestation continues, the suitable habitat will decline by 81% (range: 66-93%). Maintaining and enhancing the integrity of protected areas, where rates of forest loss are lower, will be essential for ensuring persistence of the diversity of the rapidly diminishing Malagasy rainforests.

TI Ethnic and socioeconomic variation in cause-specific preterm infant mortality by gestational age at birth: national cohort study SO ARCHIVES OF DISEASE IN CHILDHOOD-FETAL AND NEONATAL EDITION LA English DT Article ID SICKLE-CELL-DISEASE; PERINATAL-MORTALITY; DISPARITIES; WOMEN; BORN; RISK; DISORDERS; ORIGIN; RATES; RACE AB Objective To describe ethnic and socioeconomic variation in cause-specific infant mortality of preterm babies by gestational age at birth. Design National birth cohort study. Setting England and Wales 2006-2012. Subjects Singleton live births at 24-36 completed weeks' gestation (n=256 142). Outcome measures Adjusted rate ratios for death in infancy by cause (three groups), within categories of gestational age at birth (24-27, 28-31, 32-36 weeks), by baby's ethnicity (nine groups) or area deprivation score (Index of Multiple Deprivation quintiles). Results Among 24-27 week births (5% of subjects; 47% of those who died in infancy), all minority ethnic groups had lower risk of immaturity-related death than White British, the lowest rate ratios being 0.63 (95% CI 0.49 to 0.80) for Black Caribbean, 0.74 (0.64 to 0.85) for Black African and 0.75 (0.60 to 0.94) for Indian. Among 32-36 week births, all minority groups had higher risk of death from congenital anomalies than White British, the highest rate ratios being 4.50 (3.78 to 5.37) for Pakistani, 2.89 (2.10 to 3.97) for Bangladeshi and 2.06 (1.59 to 2.68) for Black African; risks of death from congenital anomalies and combined rarer causes (infection, intrapartum conditions, SIDS and unclassified) increased with deprivation, the rate ratios comparing the most with the least deprived quintile being, respectively, 1.54 (1.22 to 1.93) and 2.05 (1.55 to 2.72). There was no evidence of socioeconomic variation in deaths from immaturity-related conditions. Conclusions Gestation-specific preterm infant mortality shows contrasting ethnic patterns of death from immaturity-related conditions in extremely-preterm babies, and congenital anomalies in moderate/late-preterm babies. Socioeconomic variation derives from congenital anomalies and rarer causes in moderate/ late-preterm babies. Future research should examine biological origins of extremely preterm birth.

Bioregions should describe locations of relatively homogenous assemblages of species occur, enabling managers to better regulate activities that might affect these assemblages. Many existing bioregionalization approaches, which rely on expert-derived, Delphic comparisons or environmental surrogates, do not explicitly include observed biological data in such analyses. We highlight that, for bioregionalizations to be useful and reliable for systems scientists and managers, the bioregionalizations need to be based on biological data; to include an easily understood assessment of uncertainty, preferably in a spatial format matching the bioregions; and to be scientifically transparent and reproducible. Statistical models provide a scientifically robust, transparent, and interpretable approach for ensuring that bioregions are formed on the basis of observed biological and physical data. Using statistically derived bioregions provides a repeatable framework for the spatial representation of biodiversity at multiple spatial scales. This results in better-informed management decisions and biodiversity conservation outcomes. C1 [Woolley, Skipton N.

TI Conceptual Risk Framework: Integrating Ecological Risk of Introduced Species with Recipient Ecosystems SO BIOSCIENCE LA English DT Article DE biological invasions; decision-making; hazard; pest management; risk assessment ID ENVIRONMENTAL-IMPACT CLASSIFICATION; ALIEN TAXA EICAT; CLIMATE-CHANGE; NEW-ZEALAND; BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS; TRAIT DIFFERENCES; PLANT; CONSERVATION; ERADICATION; ATTITUDES AB Global changes are predicted to facilitate the introduction, establishment, and spread of species into new environments leading to potential negative impacts on local biodiversity. Evaluating the risk associated with introduced species with a high likelihood of arrival, or species that have already been introduced, is therefore increasingly important. In the present article, we outline an operational framework to provide a basis for assessing the ecological risk of introduced species in order to facilitate justifiable management decisions. The framework integrates information based on both the species and the (potential) recipient ecosystems, using existing tools to guide pest managers through the stepwise process. This enables the prediction of high-risk species and the identification of those ecosystems most vulnerable to invasion, and facilitates understanding of the potential mechanisms and magnitude of pest impacts. The framework can be applied to different invasion scenarios to evaluate the risks and impacts of species. C1 [Probert, Anna F.] Univ Fribourg, Fribourg, Switzerland.

TI Moving On from the Insect Apocalypse Narrative: Engaging with Evidence-Based Insect Conservation SO BIOSCIENCE LA English DT Article DE population biology; biodiversity; insect ecology; science communication; conservation ID BUMBLE BEES; SCIENCE COMMUNICATION; SPECIES DELIMITATION; ECOSYSTEM SERVICES; CLIMATE-CHANGE; SPECIAL FOCUS; DECLINE; POPULATION; DIVERSITY; HYMENOPTERA AB Recent studies showing temporal changes in local and regional insect populations received exaggerated global media coverage. Confusing and inaccurate science communication on this important issue could have counterproductive effects on public support for insect conservation. The insect apocalypse narrative is fuelled by a limited number of studies that are restricted geographically (predominantly the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States) and taxonomically (predominantly some bees, macrolepidoptera, and ground beetles). Biases in sampling and analytical methods (e.g., categorical versus continuous time series, different diversity metrics) limit the relevance of these studies as evidence of generalized global insect decline. Rather, the value of this research lies in highlighting important areas for priority investment. We summarize research, communication, and policy priorities for evidence-based insect conservation, including key areas of knowledge to increase understanding of insect population dynamics. Importantly, we advocate for a balanced perspective in science communication to better serve both public and scientific interests.

TI Minimising the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services in an intact landscape under risk of rapid agricultural development SO ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article DE land use planning; trade-offs; multiple objectives; conservation; ecosystem services; biodiversity; agricultural development ID LAND-USE; IMPACTS; CONSERVATION; COLOMBIA; MANAGEMENT; GAINS; MODEL AB As humanity's demand for resources continues to rise and productive arable lands become increasingly scarce, many of Earth's remaining intact regions are at heightened risk of destruction from agricultural development. In situations where agricultural expansion is inevitable, it is important to manage intact landscape transformation so that impacts on environmental values are minimised. Here, we present a novel, spatially explicit, land use planning framework that addresses the decision making needed to account for different, competing economic-environment objectives (agricultural production value, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem service retention) when land use change is inevitable within an intact landscape. We apply our framework to the globally significant savannahs of the Orinoquia (Colombia), which in a post-conflict era is under increased agricultural development pressure. We show that while negative environmental impacts can be reduced through planning, the total area of land converted to agriculture is the unavoidable principal driver of biodiversity and ecosystem service loss. We therefore identify planning solutions that perform well across all objectives simultaneously, despite trade-offs among them. When 15%, 20%, 30% and 40% of the study area is allowed to be converted to agriculture, on average planning can improve species persistence and ecosystem service retention by up to 16%, 15%, 12%, and 9%, respectively, when compared to agricultural-focused solutions. Development in the region so far has had an unnecessarily large impact on environmental objectives due to a lack of effective land use planning, creating an 'opportunity debt'. Our study provides an evidence base to inform proactive planning and the development of environmentally sensible agricultural development policy and practice in the region. This framework can be used by stakeholders to achieve agriculture expansion goals and maximise economic profit while minimising impacts on the environment in the Orinoquia, or any relatively intact region that is being developed.

Thus, the influence of the TGD impoundment on the river temperature (T-w) and water cycle warrants in-depth examination. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to use decadal (2001-2013) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer temperature data to assess the impacts of TGD impoundment on the inland water cycle. We found that (1) spatially, the multiyear T-w decreased by 5 degrees C along the mid-lower Yangtze River, (2) temporally, T-w exhibited a warming trend after the operation of the TGD began, with most warming occurring from October to December directly after the TGD impoundment, and (3) the correlations between discharge and T-w in the pre- and post-TGD periods have changed; specifically, the closer to the TGD a location is, the greater the change in the relationship. Our analysis implies that downstream water temperature alteration is mainly attributed to the TGD management regime, and the influence is obvious along the 260 km river downstream of the TGD. It is likely that the impoundment of the TGD has increased the water residence time and slowed the water speed downstream.

Research has been carried out aiming to characterize the structure and diversity of microbial communities in the Rendzic Leptosols (WRB) under natural deciduous forest from Visterna, Babadag Plateau and to assess their contribution to ecosystem services provided by soil. The paper presents the results of quantitative estimations and taxonomic composition of soil and litter communities of heterotrophic bacteria and fungi, identification of cellulolytic species, as well as the microbial biomass and global physiological activities expressed as soil respiration potentiaL More than a half of bacterial species were common in litter and soil (SI=57.14%) and were represented by dominant species of fluorescent or non-fluorescent pseudomonads and Bacillus subtilis but no similarity was found between the two fungal communities. Fungal populations induded cosmopolitan species, such as antagonists and strong cellulolytic representatives of genera Penicillium, Trichoderma, Mortierella, Chaetomium, Epicoccum, Aspergillus. Microbial density and microbial biomass presented the highest values in the litter (684 mg C x kg(-1 )d.s.) and in surface horizon Am 1 of soil profile than in the bottom layers. The highest diversity was found in Am 1 horizon (0-5 cm) H'=1.983 bits and epsilon=0.869 for cellulolytic community. Soil respiration reflected the intense physiological activity of microbiome, with high values associated to numerous effectives of bacteria and fungi especially in surface horizon. Microorganisms identified contribute to formation of soil by recycling of nutrients, cellulose decomposition, the synthesis of stable organic matter (humic acids), aggregation of soil particles, biological control of pathogens by antagonistic activity. They improve plant uptake of water and nutrients by forming symbioses ectomycorrhizae , thus modelling the structure of vegetation.

To elucidate the potential role of gamma-tocopherol in the aging process, we examined the associations of serum gamma-tocopherol levels with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Subjects/Methods Among participants in the biorepository subcohort of the Multiethnic Cohort Study, pre-cancer diagnostic serum gamma-tocopherol levels were measured in a subset of 3904 men and 4461 women. Of these, 22.7% of men and 13.5% of women died during a mean follow-up time of 9.6 +/- 2.6 years. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for mortality associated with gamma-tocopherol were estimated by Cox proportional hazards regression. Results Positive associations of serum gamma-tocopherol with all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular disease mortality (CVD) (P-trend < 0.05) were detected after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, and serum cholesterol levels. The respective HRs (95% CIs) for the highest versus the lowest sex-specific gamma-tocopherol quartile were 1.43 (1.17-1.74), 1.79 (1.22-2.64), and 1.52 (1.10-2.11) for men and 1.58 (1.25-2.00), 1.59 (1.05-2.41), and 1.59 (1.07-2.37) for women. Associations remained significant for all-cause mortality among women after further adjusting for smoking variables and history of cancer, CVD, diabetes, and hypertension at cohort entry (highest vs. lowest gamma-tocopherol quartile: HR = 1.38; 95% CI = 1.08-1.75; P-trend = 0.005). Overall, associations with all-cause mortality were consistent across race/ethnicity and were significant in three of ten sex-specific racial/ethnic groups in the fully adjusted models, with no interactions between ethnicity and gamma-tocopherol. Conclusions The positive association between gamma-tocopherol and mortality suggests a potential physiological role for gamma-tocopherol in response to pathological conditions.

Thermal-image acquisition cameras installed on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been used in animal surveys in the wilderness. This article demonstrates an example of how UAVs can be used in high mountainous regions, presenting a case study on the Sichuan snub-nosed monkey with a detection rate of 65.19% for positive individual identification. It also presents a model that can prospectively predict population size for a given animal species, which is based on combined initial work using UAVs and traditional surveys on the ground. A great potential advantage of UAVs is significantly shortening survey procedures, particularly for areas with high mountains and plateaus, such as the Himalayas, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Hengduan Mountains, the Yunnan-Gui Plateau and Qinling Mountains in China, where carrying out a traditional survey is extremely difficult, so that species and population surveys, particularly for critically endangered animals, are largely absent. This lack of data has impacted the management of endangered animals as well as the formulation and amendment of conservation strategies.

In this study, we aimed to test this positive-relationship idea in three habitats types (creeks, oxbow lakes and river sandbanks) distributed along the Bita River Basin in South America. Standardized surveys were conducted during January and February of 2016 (low water period) in 30 sites distributed along the entire basin. We recorded 23,092 individuals representing 191 species. To investigate possible relationships between habitat structural complexity and species diversity, we calculated the first three Hill's numbers, and performed a Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS), a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). Our results showed that river sandbanks and creeks had the highest species richness. Results from the NMDS analysis (stress = 0.19) showed that fish community composition was different in the assessed habitats (ANOSIM < p = 0.001). According to the results of the principal component analysis, sand percentage, dissolved oxygen, and vegetation width separated river sandbanks from the other habitats. Results from the Hill's numbers, forward selection procedure, and canonical correspondence analysis suggested that species composition and diversity were significantly influenced by the habitat structural complexity index and conductivity.

However, improved habitat heterogeneity often does not lead to natural recolonization by sensitive freshwater macroinvertebrate communities, particularly when the recolonization potential is low and source populations are absent. In preliminary studies we tested whether natural substrate exposures could be used to sample and transport benthic macroinvertebrates. In this pilot study we used these previously tested natural substrate exposures to sample freshwater invertebrates in a donor stream in order to actively (re-)colonize a recipient stream. In the course of three reintroduction campaigns, we were able to accumulate over 350,000 benthic invertebrates, including 25 indicator taxa of the orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera and 30 taxa scoring positive in the German Fauna Index. In total, 45 taxa, which did not occur in the recipient stream before, were reintroduced. They were transported gently within natural substrate exposures and released on a stream bottom area of 500 m(2) in the recipient stream. We intended to study if an increase of benthos fauna in a recipient stream is possible, and if this increase will eventually improve the ecological status. So far, the natural substrate exposure-method demonstrated to be an adequate tool to accumulate and transport benthic macroinvertebrates and, in general, has the potential to increase the biodiversity of streams when used as assisted migration measure.

TI Short-term effects of instream habitat restoration on macroinvertebrates and a comparison of sampling approaches SO LIMNOLOGICA LA English DT Article DE Instream; Restoration; Invertebrate; Community; Surber; Kick-net ID WATER-QUALITY; RIVER RESTORATION; NEW-ZEALAND; STREAM RESTORATION; FINE SEDIMENT; LARGE WOOD; BIODIVERSITY; KICK; REHABILITATION; ECOSYSTEMS AB Many streams and rivers worldwide are restored with the intention to mitigate degradation caused by human activities, but these rehabilitation projects often involve physical instream work with diggers or other heavy machinery. The short-term effects of such restoration works on stream ecosystems are rarely investigated. The primary aim of our study was to assess the short-term effects of physical instream restoration works (which likely increased instream fine sediment load temporarily) on the benthic macroinvertebrate community in a lowland soft-bottomed stream, and our second aim was to compare the results of semi-quantitative kick-net and quantitative Surber sampling in this assessment. Invertebrates were collected using these two methods from three Control and three Impact sites, before and two days after recontouring the stream banks and installing instream woody cover features. Three of seven macroinvertebrate community-level indexes suggested positive short-term effects of the restoration works, whereas none indicated negative effects. By contrast, seven of the 14 most common taxa were negatively affected by the restoration works, possibly due to increased fine sediment levels reducing habitat quality for these taxa. These differences imply that taxon-specific invertebrate responses may be more suitable for detecting short-term impacts of instream restoration works than community-level metrics. Community indexes and common taxa were also likely affected by a drought in the spring and summer before restoration, which may have obscured some effects of the restoration works. Finally, kick-net and Surber sampling methods yielded similar findings for the community-level metrics but differed more for the common taxa, probably because the two methods sampled different microhabitats within the stream. Consequently, we recommend that for routine monitoring of macroinvertebrate communities in lowland soft-bottomed streams, the semi-quantitative kick-net sampling method should be used.

SO LIMNOLOGICA LA English DT Article DE water quality; macrophytes; space; time; kettle holes; conservation ID KETTLE HOLE; COMMUNITY STRUCTURE; TEMPORARY PONDS; WATER; BIODIVERSITY; HYDROPERIOD; NUTRIENT; CARBON; MACROPHYTES; VEGETATION AB Natural ponds are perceived as spatially and temporally highly variable ecosystems. This perception is in contrast to the often-applied sampling design with high spatial but low temporal replication. Based on a data set covering a period of six years and 20 permanently to periodically inundated ponds, we investigated whether this widely applied sampling design is sufficient to identify differences between single ponds or single years with regard to water quality and macrophyte community composition as measures of ecosystem integrity. In our study, the factor "pond", which describes differences between individual ponds, explained 56 % and 63 %, respectively, of the variance in water quality and macrophyte composition. In contrast, the factor "year" that refers to changes between individual years, contributed less to understand the observed variability in water quality and macrophyte composition (10 % and 7 % respectively, of the variance explained). The low explanation of variance for "year" and the low year-to-year correlation for the single water quality parameter or macrophyte coverage values, respectively, indicated high but non-consistent temporal variability affecting individual pond patterns. In general, the results largely supported the ability of the widely applied sampling strategy with about one sampling date per year to capture differences in water quality and macrophyte community composition between ponds. Hence, future research can be rest upon sampling designs that give more weight to the number of ponds than the number of years in dependence on the research question and the available resources. Nonetheless, pond research would miss a substantial amount of information (7 to 10 % of the variance explained), when the sampling would generally be restricted to one year. Moreover, we expect that the importance of multiple-year sampling will likely increase in periods and regions of higher hydrological variability compared to the average hydrological conditions encountered in the studied period.

The relative contribution of spatial turnover and nestedness has been used to test the effects of climatic, environmental, spatial and temporal variables on community composition. In this study, we tested the effects of environmental factors and microhabitat features on total beta diversity and its spatial turnover and nestedness components using a comprehensive dataset of aquatic Heteroptera collected from four types of permanent freshwater habitats (i.e. streams, ponds, rock tanks and reservoirs) in the Western Ghats of India. We observed that communities in all four types of habitats were predominantly shaped by dissimilarity caused due to spatial turnover ( > 85 %). Each type of habitat showed the presence of one or more species uniquely associated with it, which might contribute to the turnover between communities. The abiotic environment (climatic factors, topological factors, soil characteristics and microhabitat features) as well as assemblage structure differed significantly between habitat types. Communities in each type of habitat were affected by different environmental factors, such as precipitation and temperature patterns for streams, altitude and rocky substrate for rock tanks, and soil characteristics and the presence of aquatic macrophytes for ponds and reservoirs. Assemblages observed in the four types of permanent habitats are thus compositionally distinct due to species replacements between local communities, which in turn are strongly influenced by environmental variables. Similar to previous studies, our results show that spatial turnover largely measures the same phenomenon as total beta diversity on a regional scale.

To work out measures for identification and mitigation of concurrent multiple stressors to a stream system, it is necessary to assess the relative importance of impacts by the individual stressors. Here we aimed to discriminate the covarying effects of nutrient pollution and deforestation on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in an urbanised tropical stream system. In the Silang-Santa Rosa Subwatershed (SSRS) of Laguna de Bay, benthic macroinvertebrates and physicochemical environments were investigated at 13 sites varying in human population density, riparian canopy, and land-use pattern as indicated by geographic information systems in the catchment. Regression and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the drivers of the biodiversity loss and understand its underlying mechanisms. In the SSRS, where rapid economic growth took place without updating poorly installed wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), domestic activity indicated by human population density in the catchment was the primary factor in generating heavy phosphorous loadings (mean total phosphorus = 0.91; range = 0-1.50 mg/l) that caused hypoxia (mean dissolved oxygen = 2.98; range = 0.13-6.27 mg/l) in stream waters and subsequently reduced macroinvertebrate diversity (mean H' = 0.91; SD +/- 0.61). Nutrient and organic pollution and riparian deforestation explained 53.5% and 9.7% of the variation of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in SSRS, respectively. Given such scenario, additional WWTPs servicing urban developments and improved riparian canopy cover in the SSRS can be both strategic and cost-effective in the initial steps of environmental mitigation in urbanised streams, especially in rapidly developing countries.

These dynamics are assessed in socioeconomic and phytoremediation terms with respect to the perspective of emerging nations (e.g. an Indo-Burma global biodiversity hotspot). In this short report, we discussed the positive ecological uses of invasive alien plants in remediation/restoration of the contaminated environment. Therefore, the impacts of invasive alien plants on the ecosystem are analyzed as prerequisite for remediation/restoration efforts. The utility of an integrated approach is proposed as a promising option to help restore or sustain the socioecological systems from diverse disturbances.

One potential midway to enhance the ecological contribution of monoculture plantations is to introduce native tree species in the plantation understory. We conducted phylogenetically explicit enrichment planting experiments beneath the monocultures of two tree species native to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest to assess if the evolutionary distance of each seedling species to the overstory tree explained variations in seedling performance. We planted in the understory of two replicate plantations of species Esenbeckia leiocarpa Engl. (Rutaceae; 38 and 25 years old) and Zeyheria tuberculosa (Vell) (Bignoniaceae; both replicates were 30 years old) six native tree species, ranging in their evolutionary distances to these overstory species. We assessed individual seedling survival and height at 1, 7, and 19 months after planting. We found a weak yet significant, positive correlation between seedling performance (growth and survival) and the phylogenetic distance of the planted seedling to the overstory species, which was driven by the poor performance of conspecifics. Seedlings of the same order and class as the overstory trees showed a significantly lower risk of death compared to conspecifics and to the furthest relative, Cryptocarya aschersoniana. These findings highlight that very close relatives to the overstories should be avoided when planting beneath monoculture plantations, but that knowledge on species-specific requirements is still the most important for a successful planting.

This predator is often involved with intraguild predation, in most cases with aphids predators. Here, we report the results of experiments designed to understand the outcome of the invasion of H. axyridis on native coccinellid aphidophagous guilds using intraguild predation as a theoretical framework. Tests were conducted to determine the interactions between 1st and 4th instars larvae and H. axyridis adults, with Cycloneda sanguinea, Cycloneda pulchella, Eriopis connexa and Hippodamia convergens larvae, as well as eggs predation rate. Two treatments were used: absence and presence of food, Cinara atlantica. The results showed that 1st and 4th instars larvae and H. axyridis adults are able to prey on larvae and eggs of four Coccinellidae species analyzed, and also their own eggs, showing that this exotic species is a dominant predator in this guild of aphidophagous coccinellids. Adding to these results, studies are recommended, especially the monitoring of these species in the field in the long run, reporting their abundance and diversity as well as their behavior and impact within aphidophagous guilds, especially in Coccinellidae species.

The mechanisms of island drowning remain enigmatic, however, and the subaerial lifespan of volcanic islands varies widely. We examine swell bathymetry and island drowning at 14 hotspots and find a correspondence between island lifespan and residence time atop swell bathymetry, implying that islands drown as tectonic plate motion transports them past mantle sources of swell uplift. This correspondence argues strongly for dynamic uplift of the lithosphere at ocean hotspots. Our results also explain global variations in island lifespan, which influence island topography, biodiversity, and climate. C1 [Huppert, Kimberly L.; Perron, J.

This study was carried out in 2014 and 2015 to determine the distribution, abundance, and species richness of blowfly species in Isparta Province of Turkey. A total of 15 species (10 from Calliphoridae, 4 from Polleniidae, and 1 from Rhiniidae) were identified from 13 different localities. The adult specimens were obtained from areas of organic and decayed organic matters, waste and dumpsite, surrounding waste water deposits, and flowering plants. While all the species were new for Isparta, Bellardia tatrica (Enderlein, 1933), Calliphora subalpina (Ringdahl, 1931), Lucilia silvarium (Meigen, 1826), Melinda gentilis (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) and Pollenia griseotomentosa (Jacentkovsky, 1944) were determined as new records for the Turkish fauna. According to the study results, the highest levels of blowfly species richness will be mainly focused in the eastern part of Isparta Province. Chrysomya albiceps and Lucilia sericata were determined as the most common species in the study. C1 [Demirozer, Ozan; Uzun, Asiye] Isparta Univ Appl Sci, Fac Agr, Dept Plant Protect, Isparta, Turkey.

TI Environmental determinants of recruitment success of subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) in a mixed-conifer forest SO WESTERN NORTH AMERICAN NATURALIST LA English DT Article ID LODGEPOLE PINE STANDS; SEEDLING ESTABLISHMENT; TREE REGENERATION; BEETLE INFESTATION; PICEA-ENGELMANNII; CLIMATE; BOREAL; DISTURBANCE; RESPONSES; BIODIVERSITY AB Understanding the processes that underlie forest resilience is of increasing importance as climate change and shifting disturbance regimes continue to impact western forests. Forest research and management efforts within the low-diversity conifer forests of the U.S. Rocky Mountains have typically focused on relatively monotypic stands dominated by a single cohort, but mixed-conifer stands, such as those codominated by Abies lasiocarpa and Pirucs contorta have been less widely studied. The presence of A. lasiocarpa may enhance resilience to fire- and mountain pine beetle-induced mortality and depends on successful A iasiocarpa recruitment under a range of environmental conditions. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of key forest structural characteristics and environmental conditions on recruitment of A. lasiocarpa in a midelevation mixed-conifer forest in the central Rocky Mountains. To address this aim, A. lasiocarpa seedling density, light availability, neighborhood basal area, and soil fertility were measured across 24 plots, and the relative effects of each measured variable, temperature, and precipitation on seedling density were quantified within a Bayesian multilevel regression model. Model results showed nonsignificant effects of climate, light availability, and neighborhood index on seedling density; a significant positive association between seedling density and the interaction between soil fertility and neighborhood index; and a strong negative relationship between seedling density and soil fertility. We posit that the negative association with soil fertility in these nutrient-poor forests reflects an underlying gradient in soil moisture availability that corresponds with water flux pathways. Ultimately, much of the variance in seedling densities was explained by latent plot and year effects, indicating that A. lasiocarpa establishment in this mixed-conifer forest is likely governed by a complex suite of environmental factors that vary across fine spatiotemporal scales.

The influence of ethnicity and sex on this relationship is less well understood. Objective: This paper examines ethnic and sex differences in rates of child maltreatment (CM) and depressed mood in adulthood and investigates whether the association between CM and depressed mood in adulthood is influenced by ethnicity and sex. Participants and setting: Baseline data from the multiethnic HELIUS study (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) was analyzed and consisted of 22,551 participants aged 18-70 years from Dutch, African Surinamese, South Asian-Surinamese, Turkish, Moroccan, or Ghanaian ethnic backgrounds. Methods: Physical, sexual and psychological abuse, and emotional neglect in childhood were self-reported and depressed mood was measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Results: Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that emotional neglect and psychological abuse both have significant positive relationships with depressed mood. Furthermore, these associations were consistent across ethnic groups. The addition of ethnicity-by-maltreatment interaction terms to a main effects model revealed that Ghanaians who reported physical abuse in childhood were the only ethnic group with significantly increased odds for depressed mood (OR=2.62, p=.001), with the same being true for Moroccans who experienced sexual abuse in childhood (OR=1.91, p=.008). No sex differences were found in the relationships between CM and depressed mood. Conclusions: The association between different types of CM and depressive symptoms may not always be uniform across ethnic groups. Greater understanding of the nuances present in these relationships is required to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies for multiethnic populations.

Among the three support materials tested (Intalox saddles, ceramsite and beach shavings), the highest organic carbon compound removals (above 60% measured as COD and TOC) and steady operation were obtained for ceramsite. Effective and stable biological treatment was possible thanks to the development of biofilm of high bacterial and fungal diversity. The biodiversity of microflora was estimated on the basis of metagenomic analysis. The coagulation process with PAX 18 was effective in total phosphorus depletion (94%), while the coagulant Epoly CRD enabled up to 99% colour removal. The best results were obtained after the combined treatment, in which biodegradation was followed by coagulation (PAX 18). Such a combination enabled the removal of 98% of BOD5, 87% of COD, 88% of TOC, 48% of the total nitrogen, 98% of the total phosphorus, 98% of toxicity (towards Vibrio fishen) and above 81% of colour.

It is an interesting example of what these areas represent from a social, economic and scientific point of view, in order to preserve Nature within the frame of sustainable development. The 40 municipalities of the Reserve are marked by the demographic decline and the lack of services and accessibility, but they are fortunate to treasure such an impressive natural and cultural heritage. The use of resources such as geological formations, biodiversity, fossil footprints, thermal waters, the character of villages and the cultural manifestations in the Reserve, coexist with human activities in a harmonious balance which implies sustained effort.

The objectives of the survey were to analyse the structure of the macroinvertebrate communities in the Bolina River, which is currently the second most anthropogenic salinised river in the world, in relation to various types of instream microhabitats and to determine the environmental factors that have a significant effect on the structure of the macroinvertebrate communities. The result of a canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed that electrical conductivity, the temperature of the water and the organic matter content in the bottom sediments were the most important factors (statistically significant) that influenced the macroinvertebrate communities in the anthropogenic salinised river. A total of 77 taxa of macroinvertebrates were recorded in the Bolina River. A Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA and multiple comparison post hoc tests revealed statistically significant differences in the median number of taxa and the median density of macroinvertebrates between the various types of microhabitats in the salinised river. The anthropogenic salinisation of a river can lead to a decrease in aquatic biodiversity that favours invasive species over native species. The Bolina River, which has a salinity of up to 33.6%, is an example of a unique habitat for organisms that are salt tolerant (euryhaline) or eurytopic. It is a route for the spread of alien and invasive invertebrate species including Gammarus tigrinus, Potamopyrgus antipodarum, and Monopylephorus limosus.

Here, we address the following questions: What are the most important drivers and is there a difference in the responses to environmental drivers between species and phylogenetic diversity? If so, which ecological mechanisms determine these patterns and will different habitat types host plants of different evolutionary lineages? Location Czech Republic. Methods We used a unique data set of 419 permanent plots in thermophilous temperate deciduous forests. Vegetation of the herbaceous layer was sampled along a wide range of environmental gradients. Soil characteristics were measured in the laboratory from field-collected samples. Topographic variables were derived from a digital elevation model. Results Communities of shaded habitats on moist fertile soils were characterized by phylogenetically older lineages (pteridophytes and ancient lineages of lilioids and dicots) resulting in a higher phylogenetic diversity. On the other hand, dry oligotrophic habitats were distinguished by short-lived light-demanding species (some asterids) and showed higher species, but relatively lower phylogenetic diversity. Besides simple effects of soil, light availability and topographic properties, interactions between the factors played an important role. Conclusions Our results indicate that both types of biodiversity were mainly driven by environmental stress created by the interplay among factors. Patterns of phylogenetic diversity suggest that historical factors, i.e., the shifting of species' habitats at the evolutionary scale, could also provide plausible explanations.

The hypothesis of the negative influence of high ethnic fractionalization on the ecological situation in a country that in the classical welfare states is offset by the high efficiency of government through the initiation of the function of balancing the interests of ethnic groups in the transmission buffer mechanism is tested in the paper. The study used correlation and regression analysis tools using the application statistical software package STATISTICA. The hypothesis of an inverse relationship between the degree of heterogeneous society and the ecological quality is empirically substantiated. It is proved that the quality of governance can weaken the inverse relationship between ethnic fractionalization and the ecological situation in the country. In the welfare states, the neutralization factor of ethnic fractionalization by the quality of governance institutions is traced, which testifies to the existence of an institutional transmission buffer mechanism in the relationship between the structure of society and the offer of environmental goods.

Phylogenetic trees are the appropriate way to explain biodiversity under the theoretical framework of current evolutionary hypothesis and they should take a central place in public understanding of evolution. Misinterpretation of phylogenies plus the unavailability of didactic material in Spanish for teachers ends up in the reproduction of misunderstandings on the evolutionary theory. The combination of these errors with epistemological problems of evolutionary theories learning generates even more confusion in these subjects. The ludic activity as a learning process provides powerful tools when it comes to acquiring concepts that require abstraction in contents. Educational natural science games, both classical and modern approaches as Game-based learning theory, provide a sense of achievement to players/apprentices and they improve knowledge acquisition. In this context, the activity proposed here invites students to think under the scientific method and it allows them to assimilate abstract concepts by the resolution of evolutionary riddles.

However, excessive mowing causes the dominance of the Poaceae weeds, which are host plants for rice stink bugs. In this study, the authors hypothesized that high mowing is more effective than low mowing in decreasing the dominance of Poaceae weeds. The dominance of the Poaceae weeds between high mowing (cut at a height of 5-10 cm) and low mowing (cut at ground level) was compared across 5 sites. As a result, the cover-abundance ratings of the Poaceae weeds were lower in the high mowing plots than that in the low mowing plots in all sites. In addition, the biodiversity index was higher in the high mowing plots than in the low mowing plots in each site. It was concluded that the increased mowing height effectively decreased the dominance of Poaceae weeds and this can be used as a strategy for controlling rice stink bugs.

To understand the underlying drivers and mechanisms, and to predict the consequences for nature and people, we urgently need better understanding of the direction and magnitude of climate change impacts across the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. An increasing number of climate change studies are creating new opportunities for meaningful and high-quality generalizations and improved process understanding. However, significant challenges exist related to data availability and/or compatibility across studies, compromising opportunities for data re-use, synthesis and upscaling. Many of these challenges relate to a lack of an established 'best practice' for measuring key impacts and responses. This restrains our current understanding of complex processes and mechanisms in terrestrial ecosystems related to climate change. To overcome these challenges, we collected best-practice methods emerging from major ecological research networks and experiments, as synthesized by 115 experts from across a wide range of scientific disciplines. Our handbook contains guidance on the selection of response variables for different purposes, protocols for standardized measurements of 66 such response variables and advice on data management. Specifically, we recommend a minimum subset of variables that should be collected in all climate change studies to allow data re-use and synthesis, and give guidance on additional variables critical for different types of synthesis and upscaling. The goal of this community effort is to facilitate awareness of the importance and broader application of standardized methods to promote data re-use, availability, compatibility and transparency. We envision improved research practices that will increase returns on investments in individual research projects, facilitate second-order research outputs and create opportunities for collaboration across scientific communities. Ultimately, this should significantly improve the quality and impact of the science, which is required to fulfil society's needs in a changing world.

TI Abandoning Risky Agriculture and Leveraging Natural Capital: A County-Level Method for Identifying Conservation Opportunity SO NATURAL AREAS JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE abandonment; agricultural land; Coastal Plain; crop insurance; natural capital; reforestation ID CONTERMINOUS UNITED-STATES; ECOSYSTEM SERVICES; LAND; REFORESTATION AB Marginal land now devoted to growing harvested crops may be better suited to other land uses such as biodiversity enhancement and carbon sequestration. However, farmers are not encouraged to explore the development of these opportunities due largely to subsidized federal crop insurance (FCI). This study examined FCI outcomes from 2013 to 2017 in 69 Coastal Plain counties of North Carolina and South Carolina. The loss ratio (total crop indemnities paid/total insurance premiums paid) was used to identify 21 counties with high-risk agriculture. Then an index of conservation opportunity was calculated for each county using the loss ratio, insurance subsidy, and an estimate of natural capital (i.e., renewable or nonrenewable natural resources that can provide benefits to humans). Where marginal farmland is surrounded by forest and natural capital is high, the index will identify counties currently supported by FCI that more quickly and completely incorporate the full range of ecological dynamics and biological diversity when farming is abandoned. The top 10 counties for conservation opportunity, with the exceptions of Scotland County, North Carolina, and Marion County, South Carolina, were located in the outer Coastal Plain or coastal zone where natural capital is high. Transitioning land use from harvested crops to biodiversity enhancement or carbon sequestration will require bold changes in agricultural policies and subsidies so that income streams to farmers are maintained while novel ecological targets are met.

Long-term monitoring is an integral part of land management and biodiversity conservation. Sampling grain, a key component of monitoring design, can impact conclusions about spatial patterns in composition, but less is known about how sampling grain influences our ability to detect temporal compositional dynamics. 2. To evaluate how sampling grain affects conclusions about temporal dynamics, we analyzed vegetation data from permanently marked transects in a sagebrush-steppe ecosystem. Each transect was monitored for 9 y at three sampling grains: point-intercept, 15 X 15 cm sampling frame, and 60 X 60 cm sampling frame. We investigated grain-dependent patterns in diversity, functional group representation, and multivariate compositional change. 3. Inferred community dynamics were strongly affected by sampling grain. Large grains had the greatest richness and detection frequencies for nearly all species. Almost all additional species detected at larger grains were forbs, the life form that comprises most of the species richness in this system. Mean compositional change was lower and temporal compositional change was more pronounced when based on data acquired at larger sampling grains. 4. Small sampling grains result in undersampling, which biases measurements of community dynamics. These grains can provide reasonable estimates for coarse metrics such as the abundance of dominant species, but often fail to capture changes in nondominant species. We recommend that natural resource managers sample multiple grains based on the scales of the processes they are interested in monitoring.

HERBIVORY; GRASSLAND PLANT DIVERSITY; ODOCOILEUS-VIRGINIANUS; SELECTIVE HERBIVORY; VEHICLE COLLISIONS; SEED DISPERSAL; BISON INCREASE; VEGETATION; FIRE; ELK AB White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are now the dominant large herbivores in tallgrass prairie ecosystems of the U.S. Midwest and have unique ecological impacts compared to the historically dominant bison (Bison bison) and elk (Cervus elaphus) that were extirpated from this region. While most of our knowledge of white-tailed deer impacts on plant communities and ecosystem processes comes from forested habitats, relatively little research has focused on deer effects in prairies. In this review, we discuss the ecological impacts of white-tailed deer in North American tallgrass prairies, potential deer management strategies, and areas of future research. Unlike bison and elk, deer are selective grazers that preferentially eat nutrient-rich forbs. At high deer densities, this consumption of forbs can have negative effects on prairie biodiversity and alter nutrient cycling. Deer can decrease plant diversity by reducing the abundance and reproductive success of their preferred plant species, shifting the plant community to one dominated by species avoided by deer or tolerant of herbivory. At lower densities, deer may maintain biodiversity in accordance with the intermediate disturbance hypothesis. Deer are able to maintain a balance between deer-avoided and deer-preferred species abundance by giving unpreferred or herbivory-tolerant species an advantage, but not completely suppressing herbivory-sensitive species. Nonconsumptive deer impacts also influence prairies through transporting invasive species, trampling on deer trails, and redistributing nutrients in fecal pellets and carcasses. Management strategies such as hunting, use of fences, and patch-burning can alleviate the pressures of overabundant deer populations, while maintaining their ability to promote heterogeneity.

The new taxon, Kulikovskiyia gen. nov. has robust conical spines along its margin and at the apices and the external valve face has longitudinally-oriented siliceous slat system extending the length of the valve. The external distal raphe ends bifurcate and terminates on the valve face. There appear to be superficial similarities between this Asian genus and species and Playaensis, a genus comprised of two species found only in the western USA. The systematic position of Kulikovskiyia is discussed, and other than noting its similarities to other biraphid naviculoid diatoms due to symmetry features and the position of the raphe, we are uncertain about its systematic placement at finer levels of classification.

Currently, there are three nucleotide sequences from this species in GenBank, what impedes the development of genetic markers to assist on its conservation. A total of 217 million RNA-Seq reads from seven organs were sequenced and used to assemble 566,607 transcripts, including 98% of BUSCO vertebrates orthologs, 11,321 transcripts with SNVs and 1,724 transcripts with indels. Three transcripts with SNVs and five transcripts with indels were validated as the best candidate markers to conservation practices. This work illustrates the use of transcriptomics in conservation, by the development of a bigger toolbox for an endangered fish, and shall further contribute to studies on this and others related species reproduction, physiology, and adaptability to environmental changes.

This major biodiversification within the marine biosphere started during late Precambrian time and was only finally interrupted in the Devonian Period. It includes both the Cambrian Explosion and the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event. The establishment of modern marine ecosystems took place during a continuous chronology of the successive establishment of organisms and their ecological communities, developed during the 'Cambrian substrate revolution', the 'Ordovician plankton revolution', the 'Ordovician substrate revolution', the 'Ordovician bioerosion revolution' and the 'Devonian nekton revolution'. At smaller scales, different regional but important radiations can be recognized geographically and some of them have been identified and named (e.g. those associated with the 'Richmondian Invasion' during Late Ordovician time in Laurentia and the contemporaneous 'Boda event' in parts of Europe and North Africa), in particular from areas that were in or moved towards lower latitudes, allowing high levels of speciation on epicontintental seas during these intervals. The datasets remain incomplete for many other geographical areas, but also for particular time intervals (e.g. during the late Cambrian 'Furongian Gap'). The early Palaeozoic biodiversification therefore appears to be a long-term process, modulated by bursts in significant diversity and intervals of inadequate data, where its progressive character will become increasingly clearer with the availability of more complete datasets, with better global coverage and more advanced analytical techniques.

Although the terminology is recent, the concept is older and has its roots in ecological resilience. However, a synthesis of studies through the lens of the insurance value concept is lacking. Here we fill this important knowledge gap by conducting a rapid evidence assessment on how, where and why the insurance value of ecosystems has been measured. The review highlighted the often substantial positive values that were associated with restoration, rehabilitation or avoidance of loss of natural ecosystems. However, many regions, ecosystems and hazards are not widely researched. Most studies focused on forests, agriculture and wetlands, often with an emphasis on habitat restoration to reduce flood risks. Over half the studies provided non-monetary or monetary estimates of value, reporting, for example, improved ecological function, achieved/achievable cost reductions or willingness-to-pay. Nevertheless, the evidence-base remains fragmentary and is characterised by inconsistent reporting of valuation methodologies. This precludes drawing general conclusions. We recommend that future studies of insurance value adopt a common approach to facilitate the development of a more robust evidence-base.

The main advantage of NBS over other adaptation strategies is their capability to deliver multiple benefits. They support the resilience of natural processes and help in reducing adaptation costs. In this paper, we address the current gaps in the literature by providing a comprehensive, easy-to-use classification scheme focussing on hydrological extreme events. The classification scheme is presented as a matrix and contains a portfolio of known NBS as well as the important criteria for their selection. Specifically, we have included disservices/ barriers, and the potential impacts of climate change on NBS. The matrix provides decision-makers with a tool that will guide them through the first phase of the complex process when choosing the most appropriative NBS for a specific challenge. In that way, we aim to support the spread of NBS in the scientific literature as well as their practical application.

Carotenoid accumulation is a protective reaction against environmental stress factors, such as bright light and extreme temperatures. It makes the survival of these microorganisms under harsh environmental conditions possible. The diversity of carotenogenic microalgae has been described in detail for Central Europe and North America, as well as for tropical and subtropical latitudes with relatively favorable environments. However, data about these microorganisms in polar and subpolar latitudes are scarce and restricted to few reports. We isolated several strains of carotenogenic microalgae from the coastal zone of the White Sea, where they were abundant. The obtained microalgae related to four species of Chlorophytes: Haematococcus lacustris, H. rubicundus, Coelastrella aeroterrestrica and Bracteacoccus aggregatus. The last three species have been reported for polar latitudes for the first time. Most likely, carotenogenic algae in the White Sea coast are abundant due to their high physiological and metabolic plasticity, which is essential for surviving under adverse conditions of the northern regions. Pigment composition of the strains is provided. Their predominant carotenoids were astaxanthin and beta-carotene. Further, the obtained strains may be considered as potential producers of natural pigments for biotechnology.

Their ancestral knowledge and practices have witnessed the sharing of the reproductive material between them since thereon. Modern agricultural expansion and development have contributed to the flow of crops globally. Intellectual property rights in the agricultural field such as patents and plant breeders' right, to a certain extent have affected these traditional agricultural practises of the farmers. Nonetheless in many parts of the world, where small farming communities still form an integral part of their food production chain, farmers' traditional farming practices and knowledge are still widely used. This paper argues that over reliance on modern system of agricultural and intellectual property rights in the long run might threaten these small farmers' communities and suggest that the Farmers' Rights concept as enshrined in the FAO Treaty 2004 should be integrated into national legislations affecting farmers. Applying doctrinal analysis on existing plant variety law in Malaysia, this article investigates the extent to which the concept of Farmers' Rights to their traditional agricultural practices has been incorporated into the law. By way of comparison with the practices in India, a country quoted as having best practices in implementing Farmers' Right, the paper attempt to suggest on the possible way to integrate their practices into the Malaysia plant variety law.

The development of large solar energy facilities and urban sprawl are converting wild lands in the Southwest deserts of the USA for human use and resulting in habitat loss for desert species. This is in part due to the Southwest deserts being identified as having high renewable energy potential while urban areas expand into areas supporting high biodiversity. Previous studies have quantified development within some of these biodiversity hotspots, but none have investigated direct species-specific habitat loss for different species of pollinators. Native bees are poorly studied, and therefore it is difficult to know how much habitat has been lost. We quantified the amount of land conversion occurring between 2010 and 2015 in Clark County, NV, Mojave County, AZ, and San Bernardino County, CA to assess direct loss of potential-habitat for species in the Southwest deserts. Using Satellite images, we quantified the direct habitat loss to solar facilities and estimated other land conversion due to urban sprawl using USDA land cover data. We created eco-niche models in MaxENT for ten Ashmeadiella bees, to estimate the amount of direct, potential-habitat loss caused by solar development and urban expansion. Our data suggest species are not equally affected by land conversion in the Southwest deserts and direct, potential-habitat loss to urban sprawl is much greater than the loss due to solar facilities. Furthermore, our data show each species incurs different amounts of habitat loss to both solar development and urban expansion as well as between counties. These results should assist in pollinator conservation program development by illustrating land conversion can vary between local governments and pollinator species.

Here, new records of five native species of lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are reported for the central United States based on processing previously undetermined material from entomological collections: Cephaloscymnus laevis Gordon, Hyperaspidius insignis Casey, Hyperaspis punctata LeConte, Hippodamia apicalis Casey, and Anatis lecontei Casey. The new record for C. laevis represents a considerable range extension northward, whereas records for the other four species denote relatively minor geographic range extensions. These findings support the notion that systematic processing of undetermined collection material will yield new insights into the geographic ranges of various zoological species and improve understanding of biodiversity.

The aim of the research was to find out whether and how a lowland landscape, which formed as a result of subsequent Pleistocene glaciations (five) that in Eurasia covered various and generally successively smaller areas, affected the genetic differentiation of a species. The research was carried out in eastern Poland on the root vole Microtus oeconomus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia), a model boreal and hygrophilous species. Samples were collected from 549 vole individuals at 33 locations. Based on the analysis of 12 microsatellite loci and the 908 bp of cytochrome b sequences (mitochondrial DNA), the genetic structure of M. oeconomus in the landscape zones of the Polish Lowlands was determined. The results show that the latitudinal variability of the relief in eastern Poland (resulting from different ranges of Pleistocene ice sheets) and the related specific configuration of hydrogenic habitats are reflected in the genetic differentiation of the root vole. Therefore, it may be concluded that the history of landscape development affects the genetic structure of hydrophilic species.

Importance Marine omega-3 fatty acid has been suggested to protect against colorectal cancer. Objective To assess the effect of daily marine omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on the risk of colorectal cancer precursors, including conventional adenomas and serrated polyps. Design, Setting, and Participants This study was a prespecified ancillary study of the placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial VITAL (Vitamin D and Omega-3 Trial). An intention-to-treat analysis was used to examine the effect of daily marine omega-3 supplements among 25871 adults in the US general population (including 5106 African American persons) free of cancer and cardiovascular disease at enrollment. Randomization was from November 2011 to March 2014, and intervention ended as planned on December 31, 2017. Interventions Marine omega-3 fatty acid, 1 g daily (which included eicosapentaenoic acid, 460 mg, and docosahexaenoic acid, 380 mg) and vitamin D3 (2000 IU daily) supplements. Main Outcomes and Measures Risk of conventional adenomas (including tubular adenoma, tubulovillous adenoma, villous adenoma, and adenoma with high-grade dysplasia) or serrated polyps (including hyperplastic polyp, traditional serrated adenoma, and sessile serrated polyp). In a subset of participants who reported receiving a diagnosis of polyp on follow-up questionnaires, endoscopic and pathologic records were obtained to confirm the diagnosis. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were calculated using logistic regression, after adjusting for age, sex, vitamin D treatment assignment, and use of endoscopy. Secondary analyses were performed according to polyp features and participants' characteristics. Results The demographic characteristics of participants at randomization were well balanced between the treatment and placebo groups; for example, 50.6% vs 50.5% were women, and 19.7% vs 19.8% were African American persons were included in each group. The mean (SD) age was 67.1 (7.1) years in the placebo group and 67.2 (7.1) in the omega-3 treatment group. During a median follow-up of 5.3 years (range, 3.8-6.1 years), 294 cases of conventional adenomas were documented in the omega-3 group and 301 in the control group (multivariable OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.83-1.15) (1:1 ratio between number of cases and number of participants). In addition, 174 cases of serrated polyps were documented in the omega-3 group and 167 in the control group (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.84-1.29). Null associations were found for polyp subgroups according to size, location, multiplicity, or histology. In secondary analyses, marine omega-3 treatment appeared to be associated with lower risk of conventional adenomas among individuals with low plasma levels of omega-3 index at baseline (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.57-1.02; P = .03 for interaction by omega-3 index). A beneficial association of supplementation was also noted in the African American population (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.35-1.00) but not in other racial/ethnic groups (P = .11 for interaction). Conclusions and Relevance Supplementation with marine omega-3 fatty acids, 1 g per day, was not associated with reduced risk of colorectal cancer precursors. A potential benefit of this supplementation for individuals with low baseline omega-3 levels or for African American persons requires further confirmation. Question Does marine omega-3 fatty acid supplementation reduce risk of colorectal cancer precursors in the US general population? Findings In this randomized clinical trial that included 25871 adults, daily supplementation of marine omega-3 fatty acid, 1 g, did not reduce risk of conventional adenomas or serrated polyps. A suggestive beneficial association was observed among individuals with low plasma levels of omega-3 fatty acid at baseline and among African American persons. Meaning Daily supplementation with marine omega-3 fatty acids, 1 g, appears not to reduce the risk of colorectal premalignant lesions in the average-risk US population; however, individuals with low plasma levels of omega-3 or African American persons may benefit.

The literature on optimal carbon pricing often abstracts from other taxes. However, when governments raise revenues with distortionary taxes, carbon levies have fiscal impacts. While they raise revenues directly, they may shrink the bases of other taxes (e.g. by decreasing employment). This article theoretically characterizes and then quantifies optimal carbon taxes in a dynamic general equilibrium climate-economy model with distortionary fiscal policy. First, this article establishes a novel theoretical relationship between the optimal taxation of carbon and of capital income. This link arises because carbon emissions destroy natural capital: they accumulate in the atmosphere and decrease future output. Consequently, this article shows how the standard logic against capital income taxes extends to distortions on environmental capital investments. Second, this article characterizes optimal climate policy in sub-optimal fiscal settings where income taxes are constrained to remain at their observed levels. Third, this article presents a detailed calibration that builds on the seminal DICE approach but adds features essential for a setting with distortionary taxes, such as a differentiation between climate change production impacts (e.g. on agriculture) and direct utility impacts (e.g. on biodiversity existence value). The central quantitative finding is that optimal carbon tax schedules are 8-24% lower when there are distortionary taxes, compared to the setting with lump-sum taxes considered in the literature.

The present article analyses the amount of waste on tourist trails in the most popular natural park in Poland, Totro National Park (TNP), a small area of a mountainous character which is heavily used by tourists. Tourists who use the Tatra trails leave from 140 to 180 m(3) solid waste there per year. Its presence in parks, as well as being unsightly, is a potential risk for Fauna and flora. 90% of the waste collected from the trails in TNP is hard or non-biodegradable waste. The waste from TNP's tourists trails needs to be considered in its totality, as recyclable fractions make up about 70% of all rubbish disposed of, and so areas such as TNP should be subject to organized waste management. It was Found that the particular strategy implemented significantly affects the amount of waste from the tourist trails that is actually collected and disposed of. The key element for the efficient functioning of the waste-management strategy is the consistent implementation of an action plan that takes into account the specific nature of the area and the principles under which it is made available to tourists. Particularly significant are the frequency and regularity with which rubbish is removed. Moreover, there is a need to raise public awareness regarding waste left on tourists trails in TNP.

Our survey carried out in 2015 and 2016 identified 563 vascular plant species, belonging to 337 genera and 114 families, distributed along the main tourism routes. 157 of the species are endemic to China and 3 to Lushan. 26 species are threatened with extinction and 15 are ancient relic species. 131 are introduced species which have become established in the survey area, and 17 of these are invasive species. Current knowledge indicates that the native plant fauna has been modified. The shrub and herb layers include a large number of introduced and domesticated plants. Conservation suggestions for local biodiversity are emphasized in this study.

Wetlands are epoch-making reproducing and nourishing zones for wildlife and give shelters and protection for sea creatures. As with any natural habitat, wetlands are important in supporting species diversity as well as providing the climate moderating element. This study aimed at appraising the spatial pattern of the Isimangaliso Wetland, the potential determinants and effects of the wetland depletion between 1987 and 2017 using remote sensing and GIS approach. Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images acquired for 1987, 1997, 2007 and Landsat 8 Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) and Operational Land Imager (OLI) imagery for 2017 was acquired from the archives of United States Geological Survey (USGS) for the analysis using ArcGIS 10.2. The Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) analyses between 1987 and 2017 successfully revealed the significant depletion of the water surrounding IW area which might be as a result of natural or human activities which may include climate change, built-up areas and agricultural activities. In 1987 and 2017, the results showed that wetland extent was 655.416 Km(2) and 429.489 Km(2) respectively which connotes that IW has witnessed significant changes during the study period over the area. It was also revealed that the other land features (vegetation, built-up, open surface and rocky surface) over the area increased from 2149.911 Km(2) to 2375.838 Km(2) in 1987 and 2017 respectively. The overall classification accuracy of 97.55% and Kappa coefficient of 0.941. This wetland depletion might have a significant impact on biodiversity including human and animals as well as plants thus diminishing its world heritage status.

In agro-ecosystems, biodiversity is usually the calculation of comparative numbers and species of organisms. Insects are the largest and most diverse group of organisms in the world. During present study, different wheat fields of district Sialkot were sampled for the assessment of diversity and relative abundance of insect fauna. Collection of insects was carried out by the sweep net technique. A total of 896 specimens of insect fauna belonging to 15 species and 9 families were collected. Overall, maximum species diversity was observed during the month of April followed by the month of March. Highest relative abundance of sampled fauna was recorded in March (37.05%) followed by April (34.37%) while it was least in June (5.80%). This variation is probably due to temporal fluctuations observed in different months during which sampling was carried out. Overall, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) or aphids was the most dominant species (17.52%) followed by Coccinella septempunctata (L.) (11.83%). The highly captured predator was C. septempunctata and prey was S. graminum. Simple linear regression showed the highest association between C. septempunctata (larva) and Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) (R-2 = 0.945). The Shannon diversity index represented the significant results regarding Diversity (H'= 2.64), Evenness (E = 0.82) and Dominance (D = 0.08) of insect fauna sampled in 2017. The Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) showed the significant effect of rainfall and temperature on most of the sampled species. The current study would be helpful in future for the application of species-specific biological control in wheat field that will lead towards sustainability of agro-ecosystem. (C) 2019 The Authors.

Moreover, other more modern extraction methods tend to utilise sophisticated tools and a number of organic solvents. Unfortunately, the comparative value of the aqueous extraction methods as used in traditional medicine in relation to the other methods has remained largely undocumented. This study sought to establish the comparative antimicrobial activities and composition of Flacourtia indica bark, Swartzia madagascariensis leaf and Ximenia caffra leaf extracts obtained using (i) hot water extraction (THWE), (ii) cold water extraction (CWEC) and (iii) ethanolic extraction (EEC) methods against putative isolates of Shigella spp., Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli O157. Bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of the extracts were determined using the standard well diffusion assay. The hot water extracts (THWE) and the cold water extracts (desiccated) (CWEC) were shown to have significantly greater inhibitory activities then the ethanolic extracts (EEC) (desiccated) against Shigella spp. and S. typhi (p < 0.05). The chemical composition of the extracts obtained from the THWE method was shown to be comparable to that of extracts from the other two methods (CWEC and EEC) albeit the former having excluded desiccation as performed with the latter two. This study therefore validates the widespread use of steeping (THWE) as a method of choice in traditional medicine as it yields extracts with high antimicrobial activities and chemical composition that are comparable to those from the other two methods. We recommend the use of the THWE method in preparation of medicinal products from Flacourtia indica bark, Swartzia madagascariensis leaves, and Ximenia caffra leaves for the management of diarrhoea that is caused by S. typhi or Shigella spp, but not by E. coli. Conservation practices are also recommended to ensure sustenance of the biodiversity of the medicinal flora. (C) 2019 SAAB. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Traditional livestock husbandry is of great socio-economic importance for farmers and pastoral populations in Burkina Faso in general and in particular, those in the Southwestern region. The aim of our study is to inventory medicinal plants in cattle husbandry in the Poni province. Methodology consisted of semi-structured interviews; individual conversations with local specialists in the use of local plants. A total of 120 informants were interviewed (60 specialists, 60 non-specialist farmers) across three sites (Bouroum-Bouroum, Loropeni and Kampti) where a community based cattle breeding program has taken place. The results showed that 26 medicinal plants for veterinary use, distributed across 23 genera and 15 families were well known. In total, 9 important cattle diseases for which medicinal plants are used have been recorded. The most frequent diseases reported were foot and mouth disease (22%) and animal trypanosomosis (21%). Among the six (06) modes of preparation recorded for disease treatment, decoction was the most used (62%). Statistical analyses revealed a significant difference between men and women (p = 0.002) with medicinal plant knowledge. Men know more medicinal plants than women do. The results have indicated a disparity of medicinal plant knowledge according to age classes. The results also revealed a significant difference (p = 0.028) of plants recognised by seven ethnic groups. Knowledge of different medicinal plants for veterinary use among the ethnic groups was influenced by the family income source and the main activity. The informant consensus factor (0.5) showed that all the informants agreed on the importance of medicinal plant conservation. Promoting the veterinary use of the plants recorded in this study could be a key to their conservation. (C) 2019 SAAB. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Previous studies demonstrated that AMF exert various influences on soil enzyme activity; however, quantification of these effects has not been published to date. This study explored the effect of AMF on soil enzyme activity by meta-analysis of a current dataset. The AMF inoculation increased the activities of most soil enzymes, with the exception of polyphenol oxidase. Across all observations, AMF enhanced soil enzyme activity optimally at smaller soil available P and neutral soil pH conditions. This effect was positively correlated with the increasing ratios of soil available P and plant biomass. The results of this study indicate that AMF can enhance the release of soil nutrients required for plant growth in response to increased soil enzyme activity. The results obtained emphasize that the effect of AMF on soil enzyme activity is strongly abiotic context-dependent and coupled with beneficial effects for plant growth. This has relevant implications for AMF application for sustainable agriculture. Highlights Meta-analysis of 56 studies shows that AMF usually increase soil enzyme activity. Neutral pH and low available phosphorus lead to optimal AMF influence on soil enzyme activity. Plant growth promotion by AMF can lead to an increase of soil enzyme activity. AMF inoculation offers positive implications for agricultural application.

We aimed to analyze the genetic features of Chinese FAD pedigrees with and without PSENs/APP mutations. Methods: In total, 1330 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment in 404 pedigrees were enrolled from the Chinese Familial Alzheimer's Disease Network. PSENs/APP mutations and APOE frequencies were determined. Results: In total, 13.12% of pedigrees carried PSENs/APP missense mutations, 3.71% carried PSENs/APP synonymous/untranslated region variants, and 83.17% did not carry PSENs/APP mutations. Eleven missense mutations were first identified. In patients without PSENs/APP mutations. 44.31% carried one APOE epsilon 4 allele, and 14.85% two APOE epsilon 4 alleles. Discussion: The new PSENs/APP mutations indicate heterogeneity in AD pathogenesis between Chinese and other ethnic groups. The low mutation rate suggests the involvement of other genes/factors in Chinese FAD. APOE epsilon 4 might be a major gene for some FAD without PSENs/APP mutations.

Nevertheless, human-derived impacts and climate variability are increasing threats to these ecosystems in the last decades. Mangroves from Sinaloa (Mexico) integrate a large wetland corridor and provide several ecosystem services; however, diverse stressors could be increasing their vulnerability and associated biodiversity. The conservation status of five mangrove wetlands in this region was assessed through remote sensing techniques, landscape metrics, official databases and in situ records. In general, a decrease on mangrove cover was observed, excepting Estero de Urias and Ceuta, while aquaculture increased in all sites, with a greatest coverage in Santa Maria-La Reforma (increased 2057 ha in 18 years). The largest annual rate of change was observed in Huizache-Caimanero (-0.99%). Although conservation programs exist, there are signs of deterioration of mangrove wetlands according to this study.

It is not known whether this increase has been proportional to growth in the elderly population. The aim of this study was to assess the population-adjusted incidence of acute and elective general and orthopaedic surgery in older patients at a tertiary hospital in New Zealand. Methods This was a retrospective study using routinely collected electronic data from Auckland District Health Board (DHB) and New Zealand Ministry of Health databases. Population estimates and numbers of general surgical and orthopaedic procedures from 2004 to 2016 were obtained. Annual age-specific incidence rates of surgical procedures were calculated and trends analysed using negative binomial regression. Results The incidence of elective surgery increased by 5.35% annually from 2004 to 2016. The rate of increase is lower in the Maori population (2.14%) compared with other ethnic groups (4.22%-5.62%). The incidence of acute surgery in those aged 70 years and above decreased from 2004 to 2016. The European and other ethnic group had the highest rate of acute surgery, and higher rates of elective surgery than Pacific and Asian peoples. Conclusion The increasing number of elective general surgical and orthopaedic procedures performed on older patients in Auckland DHB is beyond what is expected for population growth alone. This has significant implication for clinicians, healthcare providers and governmental institutions. Ethnic differences are evident and warrants further attention as these may reflect disparities in access to surgery.

The aims of the study were to explore the variations (in terms of uptake) in the NHS Health Check in Leicester and to determine its association with a healthy lifestyle. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the Leicester Health and Wellbeing Survey (2015). Results: The odds of having an NHS Health Check were found to be higher in Black and minority ethnic groups and in people of other religions. The odds were lower in people without a religion, residing in the fourth index of multiple deprivation quintile and in ex-smokers. No associations were found between having an NHS Health Check and describing a healthy lifestyle, following a healthy lifestyle, thinking of making lifestyle changes in the next 6 months, cutting down on/stopping smoking among current smokers, or amount of alcohol current drinkers would like to drink. Conclusions: In Leicester, a few variations in having an NHS Health Check were found among different socio-economic, demographic and behavioural groups. No association was found between the NHS Health Check and a healthy lifestyle. Thus, the improvement work should focus on reducing these variations in having the NHS Health Check and bringing its benefits on promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Meanwhile, epidemiological research in the United States shows that adolescents of Latin American origin are generally at higher risk of suffering from mental distress than other racial/ethnic groups, even after controlling for age, gender and socioeconomic status. Our results indicate that these adolescents are more likely to be distressed compared with native-born Spanish adolescents. The gap between children from these two origins amounts to around 6 per cent. The paper identifies two important variables related to migration that can explain this disadvantage.

The development of this yeast often occurs during wine aging, especially during the summer. We show that in the Bordeaux region, the temperatures of some cellars rise significantly in July, August, and September. This greatly increases the growth rate of B. bruxellensis strains in both permissive and more unfavorable wines. Therefore, although temperature does not affect the specific formation rate of ethyl phenol, raising the wine temperature from 2 to 6 degrees C makes volatile phenols appear both earlier and faster, regardless of the wine or the yeast strain present. Closer control of active yeast populations and closer monitoring of aging wines is thus essential in the summer, particularly in cellars with poor temperature regulation.

Recent research has moved beyond the simple counting of ACEs, to develop a more nuanced understanding of the ways in which ACEs are experienced. Despite evidence that ACEs are experienced differentially by race, limited attention has been paid to these differences. The objective of the current study is to understand whether groupings of ACEs are experienced similarly across racial groups. A subsample of Latinx, Black, and White children were drawn from the National Survey of Children's Health 2016 data release was used as the sample (N = 43,711). The primary measure included in the study were 9 ACE indicators available in the survey. We use descriptive and latent class analysis to examine whether similar clusters of ACEs appear across racial groups. We found that White children had lower exposure to specific ACEs as well as total number of ACEs compared to non-Latinx Black and Latinx Children. In addition, there was not configural similarity between race/ethnic groups and the latent class structure of ACE exposure varies by child race/ethnicity, suggesting important differences by child race. Understanding the disparities in children's experiences can inform screening and intervention development.

We identified three measures indicative of diverse ecosystem services (aboveground biomass, understory biodiversity, and crown length) and compared their relationships to tree species composition in intensively managed forest plantations of the Coast Range mountains of the Pacific Northwest, United States. This study was conducted in stands of western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), and red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.), as well as in mixtures of the three species that were 35-39 years old. In this operational setting, we did not observe the positive relationship between species diversity and productivity observed in other studies, which we attributed to management practices that minimize interspecific interaction during most of the rotation. Crown length and understory species diversity were greater in mixtures of tree species than in (monospecific) monocultures. When multiple ecosystem components were considered simultaneously, mixtures of tree species outperformed monocultures. The observed relationships of the three responses to tree species composition and diversity are likely explained by differences in tree phenology, shade tolerance, disease susceptibility, and management interventions. Based on the results, management that is solely fixated on wood production homogeneously throughout the plantation may miss opportunities to provide other ecosystem services.

Spach (Juglandaceae) is a model relict tree species native to South Caucasus and is a typical element of threatened riparian forests. Intensive land transformations, which are common in Transcaucasia, have resulted in loss of natural habitat and population decline of the species. One of the methods of ex situ conservation is seed banking. Cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen (-196 degrees C) is of particular interest, as it allows safe preservation of valuable plant genetic resources. However, the feasibility of seed cryopreservation is related to the desiccation tolerance and intrinsic composition of the seeds. In this study, we examined the physiological traits of Pterocarya fraxinifolia seeds, for which desiccation tolerance is unknown or controversial, and their feasibility for cryopreservation. Additionally, we tested stratification methods for dormancy assessment. Results showed that seeds survived desiccation to a moisture content of 2.8% with a germination rate of 64%. Stratification at a temperature of 3 degrees C for 8 weeks proved to be both fast and effective. Seed moisture content ranging from 2.8% to 18.1% was determined to be safe for cryopreservation. There was no difference in seedling emergence in seeds stored for 1 year regardless of the storage temperature (-3, -18, or -196 degrees C). Based on our results, Pterocarya fraxinifolia seeds can be classified as orthodox. This study demonstrates for the first time the feasibility of cryopreserving Pterocarya fraxinifolia seeds.

Its most common definition relates to the degree to which a resource is similar to its original state. Hence, we developed a naturalness assessment method for the Brazilian Araucaria forest. We used data collected within 145 systematically distributed plots over an area of similar to 56 000 km(2). We selected five indicators to compose a unified naturalness index: (i) evidence of human activities inside the forest stand; (ii) abundance of naturalness-indicator species; (iii) standard deviation of diameter at breast height (Sdbh); (iv) species diversity of the understory-natural regeneration layer; and (v) forest stand landscape metrics. We then calculated the Euclidean distance between the vector generated from the indicators of an ordinary forest stand and the vector generated from a theoretical reference forest (TRF) with maximum naturalness. The reduced Sdbh reflected the stands' diminished structural diversity as result of historical logging and other ongoing human activities. Most stands presented average naturalness compared with the TRF. Besides the lack of data on undisturbed forests to thoroughly evaluate the naturalness index, evidence suggested that it summarized relevant forest attributes to the extent that protected areas presented greater naturalness than nonprotected areas.

It aims to demonstrate that the ethnic identity issues in Nigeria can provide elements in understanding Boko Haram as a contextual phenomenon. Indeed, this terrorist group has taken advantage of a fragile social context fueled by problems related to ethnic identity, for its emergence and its development. These problems are also related to religion which is connected to ethnic identities and which is an important component in the Boko Haram crisis, within the Nigerian political context mainly expressed in the federalism and its consequences. From an analysis of the way problems related to different ethnic groups in Nigeria have been handled since colonial time, the article shows that the concept "Boko Haram" itself depends on this particular context which in its turn enlightens Boko Haram's terrorist actions.

The aim of this study was to assess the fungal gut microbiota in patients with PSC. Design We analysed the faecal microbiota of patients with PSC and concomitant IBD (n=27), patients with PSC and no IBD (n=22), patients with IBD and no PSC (n=33) and healthy subjects (n=30). Bacterial and fungal composition of the faecal microbiota was determined using 16S and ITS2 sequencing, respectively. Results We found that patients with PSC harboured bacterial dysbiosis characterised by a decreased biodiversity, an altered composition and a decreased correlation network density. These alterations of the microbiota were associated with PSC, independently of IBD status. For the first time, we showed that patients with PSC displayed a fungal gut dysbiosis, characterised by a relative increase in biodiversity and an altered composition. Notably, we observed an increased proportion of Exophiala and a decreased proportion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Compared with patients with IBD and healthy subjects, the gut microbiota of patients with PSC exhibited a strong disruption in bacteria-fungi correlation network, suggesting an alteration in the interkingdom crosstalk. Conclusion This study demonstrates that bacteria and fungi contribute to gut dysbiosis in PSC.

Method: The sample consisted of 392 undergraduate females and 368 undergraduate males for a total of 760 individuals. Disordered eating pathology, body dissatisfaction, and maternal criticism were assessed in 484 White, 134 Latinx, and 142 Asian American undergraduates. Hierarchical regression, correlation, and t-test analyses were conducted for each ethnic group. Results: Among all three groups, body dissatisfaction, maternal criticism, and gender were significantly associated with disordered eating pathology. In addition, disordered eating and maternal criticism were greater among female undergraduates than among male undergraduates across all groups. However, body dissatisfaction did not differ significantly between female and male undergraduates in any of the three racial and ethnic groups. Findings from this study suggest that individual body dissatisfaction and maternal criticism may be differentially linked with disordered eating pathology across racial and ethnic groups. Among Whites and Latinx, body dissatisfaction was more strongly associated with disordered eating pathology than was perceived maternal criticism. However, among Asian Americans, perceived maternal criticism was more strongly associated with disordered eating pathology than was body dissatisfaction. Conclusions: Maternal criticism was the most saliently linked with disordered eating pathology among Asian Americans. Findings from this study speak to individual and familial factors impacting disordered eating across racial and ethnic groups. Additionally, this study highlights the potential role of culture on disordered eating, particularly self-construal and collectivistic and individualistic orientations.

At the same time, African American couples are at higher risks of marital difficulties than other racial/ethnic groups. This study used a dyadic approach to examine implications of underemployment, as perceived by African American mothers and fathers, for their own and their partners' couple relationship experiences, including relational love and coparenting satisfaction. The vulnerability-stress-adaptation framework of couple relationships guided tests of moderation by depressive symptoms, work hours, workplace discrimination, and expressive personality. Method: The sample included 164 African American dual-earner parents (mean age = 40.53 and 43.11 for mothers and fathers) who were interviewed on two occasions across two years. Actor-partner interdependence modeling was used for the analyses. Results: Fathers' underemployment perceptions negatively predicted their own reports of love and coparenting satisfaction. Significant interactions indicated that the negative effects of fathers' perceived underemployment on their own relational love were stronger for fathers with more depressive symptoms, and, for less expressive mothers, on mothers' love and coparenting satisfaction. However, mothers' perceived underemployment was a positive predictor of mothers' love when they worked fewer hours and a negative predictor of mothers' coparenting satisfaction when they had high expressive personality. Conclusion: Implications of underemployment experiences for couple relationships differ across gender and need to be considered in the context of partners' vulnerabilities, adaptive characteristics and other stressors. Findings advance understanding of underemployment and work-marriage linkages among African Americans, and highlight the utility of a dyadic approach.

Obtaining accurate predictions of species' range shifts in response to ongoing climate change has thus become a key issue in ecology and conservation. Correlative species distribution models (cSDMs) have become a prominent tool to this aim in the last decade and have demonstrated good predictive abilities with current conditions, irrespective of the studied taxon. However, cSDMs rely on statistical association between species' presence and environmental conditions and have rarely been challenged on their actual capacity to reflect causal relationships between species and climate. In this study, we question whether cSDMs can accurately identify if climate and species distributions are causally linked, a prerequisite for accurate prediction of range shift in relation to climate change. We compared the performance of cSDMs in predicting the distributions of 132 European terrestrial species, chosen randomly within five taxonomic groups (three vertebrate groups and two plant groups), and of 1,320 virtual species whose distribution is causally fully independent from climate. We found that (1) for real species, the performance of cSDMs varied principally with range size, rather than with taxonomic groups and (2) cSDMs did not predict the distributions of real species with a greater accuracy than the virtual ones. Our results unambiguously show that the high predictive power of cSDMs can be driven by spatial autocorrelation in climatic and distributional data and does not necessarily reflect causal relationships between climate and species distributions. Thus, high predictive performance of cSDMs does not ensure that they accurately depict the role of climate in shaping species distributions. Our findings therefore call for strong caution when using cSDMs to provide predictions on future range shifts in response to climate change.

Additionally, landrace Newar was also characterized for 'Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability' (DUS) using 34 descriptors. Results indicated higher salt tolerance in 'Newar' as evidenced by relatively early germination and high early seedling vigour than other varieties regardless of the salinity of the irrigation water. Although salinity stress, especially up to 8.0 dS m(-1), had no adverse effect on shoot growth in all the varieties, effects on root growth were quite different. While 'Newar' exhibited non-significant differences in root fresh weight (RFW) at different salinity levels, 'White Excel' displayed nominal variations up to 8.0 dS m(-1) salinity and 'Pusa Mridula' registered consistent declines in RFW with increasing salinity. 'Newar' plants were found to be efficient in Na+ exclusion and in maintaining a favourable Na+ to K+ ratio in their shoots and roots. Further, proline accumulation was much higher in salt treated Newar than in 'White Excel' and 'Pusa Mridula' plants. Based on DUS descriptors, number of leaves, leaf length, and root length and weight were found to be the major distinguishable characters in Newar.

A total of 114 knowledge holders were identified through chain referrals method from three representative villages of Ameri Block for the study. Karbis reared lac insects twice in a year on naturally growing host plants either in the forest areas or in homegardens. A total of eight unique host plants except Ziziphus mauritiana and Ficus religiosa were observed to be used by the community for rearing lac insect. They preferred bigger host plants such as, Ficus benghalensis, F. religiosa and Albizia lucidior due to higher lac yield and lesser labour requirement. An individual F. religiosa and F. benghalensis tree could produce about 120-200 kg of sticklac in a season. The average annual household production of sticklac ranged from 679 to 776 kg in the studied villages and contributed to about 25-30% of annual household income. Karbis traditionally use lac as natural dye, binding agent, polishing earthen pots and also as medicine for chest and joint pains. Factors like uncertain production, high fluctuation in market prices and unorganized nature of the venture have been identified as the major constraints for the sustainability and up-scaling the practice.

Previously, the authors identified another possible role of SEMA5A as a prognostic biomarker for non-smoking women with lung adenocarcinoma in Taiwan, and this phenomenon has been validated in other ethnic groups. However, the functional significance of SEMA5A in lung adenocarcinoma remains unclear. Therefore, we assessed the function of SEMA5A in three lung adenocarcinoma cell lines in this study. Kaplan-Meier Plotter for lung cancer was conducted for survival analyses. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis were performed to investigate the expression and post-translational regulation of SEMA5A in lung adenocar-cinoma cell lines. A pre-designed PyroMark CpG assay and 5-aza-2 ' -deoxycytidine treatment were used to measure the methylation levels of SEMA5A. The biological functions of lung adenocarcinoma cells overexpressing SEMA5A were investigated by microarrays, and validated both in vitro (proliferation, colony formation and migration assays) and in vivo (tumor xenografts) experiments. The results revealed that the hypermethylation of SEMA5A and the cleavage of the extracellular domain of SEMA5A were responsible for the downregulation of the SEMA5A levels in lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549 and H1299) as compared to the normal controls. Functional analysis of SEMA5A-regulated genes revealed that they were involved in cellular growth and proliferation. The overexpression of SEMA5A in A549 and H1299 cells significantly decreased the proliferation (P<0.01), colony formation (P<0.001) and migratory ability (P<0.01) of the cells. The suppressive effects of SEMA5A on the proliferative and migratory ability of the cells were also observed in both in vitro and in vivo experiments using brain metastatic Bm7 lung adenocarcinoma cells. On the whole, the findings of this study suggest a suppressive role for SEMA5A in lung adenocarcinoma involving the inhibition of the proliferation and migration of lung transformed cells.

Ethiopia and Eritrea are in the Horn of Africa, known as one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. We quantitatively classified the flora of Ethiopia and Eritrea into meaningful geographical units by analyzing the taxonomic and phylogenetic beta-diversity at genera, total species, and endemic species levels at a scale of 0.5 degrees x 0.5 degrees grid cells. Hierarchical clustering was used to quantitatively delimitate the flora and analysis of similarities was used to test the significant difference between the derived groups in taxonomic composition and phylogenetic relatedness. In total, two floristic subprovinces, five floristic districts, and 13 floristic subdistricts, as well as three centers of species endemism associated with three floristic subdistricts were identified. Our results also showed that the species diversity, endemism, and turnover of the highlands in Ethiopia and Eritrea were much higher than the lowlands, indicating that the floristic differences are closely related to the topography of the East African Rift. In this study, we provided a scientific framework for the composition and relationships of the floristic units in the Horn of Africa, and similarly provided a scientific basis for better conservation of the diversity in this region.

This genus was included in the tribe Thelypodieae and was morphologically characterized by being tiny rhizomatous perennial herbs with rosulate leaves, dendritic trichomes, capsular silicles, and incumbent cotyledons. However, the phylogeny of Petroravenia, and its tribal placement, was never analyzed using molecular data. The lack of such studies, as well as the paucity of herbarium collections, suggesting that Petroravenia species are vulnerable and/or endangered, prompted us to address the molecular phylogeny of this genus. For this purpose, we generated comprehensive molecular phylogenies using nuclear (ITS) and plastid (trnL-F and trnH-psbA) data, and conducted morphological comparisons between these species and their closest related taxa. Results from the phylogenetic analyses showed that Petroravenia represents a polyphyletic group, with P. eseptata included in tribe Halimolobeae, and P. friesii and P. werdermannii placed within tribe Eudemeae and related to the genus Alshehbazia. Based on the results obtained from morphological and molecular data, we decided herein to retain the original circumscription of Petroravenia as monospecific within the tribe Halimolobeae and to transfer P. friesii and P. werdermannii to the genus Alshehbazia within the tribe Eudemeae. Systematic implications of these results are also discussed.

In this investigation, diversity analysis of five populations of S. torvum, each represented by single accession, from different geographical locations of Tripura has been carried out for the first time using two types of molecular markers, Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) and Rapid Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). SSR markers revealed a high degree of polymorphism (86.38%) in comparison to RAPD primers (79.16%). Polymorphic information content ranged from 0.28 to 0.54 for SSR and 0.16 to 0.41 for RAPD, respectively. UPGMA cluster analyses based on molecular data grouped the genotypes into two different clusters. Our findings suggests that SSR has a high discriminatory power wherein it was observed that the genotype from Jampui hills (STP5) with greater genetic diversity is stabilized in the high altitude of Sub- Himalayan region of Tripura in the due course of evolution.

(Rutaceae) SO BIOSCIENCE JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Antimicrobial activity; Antioxidant activity; Acaricidal activity; Poultry red mite; Salmonella enterica ID CHEMICAL-CONSTITUENTS; PLANTS; ANTIBACTERIAL; ALKALOIDS AB The Brazilian flora is known for its vast biodiversity; however, many species have been still little studied regarding to their chemical composition and biological potential. Thus, this study aimed to determine the antimicrobial, antioxidant and acaricidal activity of the extracts of leaves of Zanthoxylum caribaeum L. In addition, phytochemical screening of these extracts was carried out to determine the main classes of secondary metabolites present in Z. caribaeum. Using the Z. caribaeum leaves, aqueous and organic extracts were obtained using the following solvents (ethanol, methanol, hexane, acetone, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate). The antimicrobial activity of extracts was determined by broth microdilution method, and to detect antioxidant activity the method of capturing the free radical 2,2-dipheny1-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) was used. The acaricidal activity of the extracts was tested on Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer) (Acari: Dermanissidae). Ethanolic and methanolic extracts presented antimicrobial activity for most of the bacterial strains tested, as well as for yeast Candida albicans. The ethanolic extract presented high free radical sequestration potential (71.2%) and antioxidant capacity (the lowest IC50 value - 24.39 mu g mL(-1) ). The crude extracts obtained with methanol and acetone were the most promising. In general, phytochemical screening indicated the presence of steroids, flavanones, flavones, flavonols, saponins, tannins, triterpenoids and xanthones.

Herbivore species diversity can also depend on spatial factors, such as edge effects; however, empirical evidence for this remains scarce. Furthermore, patterns in herbivore diversity may differ between forest stand level and responses at individual tree species. It is therefore important to disentangle stand-level patterns from associational responses specific to certain host species. We studied the effects of edge distance, tree diversity and tree species composition on leaf miner abundance, richness and diversity in temperate forests. We disentangled leaf miners' responses at stand level from those of miners associated with each of three individual tree species: Quercus robur L., Quercus rubra L. and Fagus sylvatica L. We found that tree diversity increased stand-level leaf miner richness and diversity. Fagus sylvatica and stand-level leaf miner abundance increased closer to edges. This was suppressed at stand level in more diverse mixtures. Underlying tree diversity effects, stand-level leaf miner metrics are strongly associated with tree species composition, due to many unique species found on F. sylvatica and Q. robur. Additionally, F. sylvatica experienced associational susceptibility to abundance in mixtures with Q. robur. Quercus robur experienced association susceptibility to miner richness in the mixture with Q. rubra. Studying the herbivore community at different spatial scales is a first step towards better understanding tree identity effects underlying tree diversity effects. Our findings emphasise context dependency of positive diversity effects on herbivores in terms of edge effects and tree species composition.

In consequence, most animal and plant populations today exist in small and isolated habitat patches. Thus, there is an urgent need to increase landscape permeability to foster the exchange of individuals and thereby to promote the long-term persistence of populations and species. Corridors can help to connect local habitats and populations. Nonetheless, whether species use a corridor and how species behave in a corridor strongly depend on species' ecology and the quality of the corridor. In this study, we analysed the behaviour of 753 individuals of five butterfly species of the subfamily Satyrinae (Coenonympha pamphilus, C. arcania, Maniola jurtina, Melanargia galathea, and Erebia medusa) in a high-quality habitat, in two corridors with different habitat qualities, and in arable fields. Butterflies undertake more frequent and much longer flights in arable fields, and a more range-restricted behaviour with perching and visiting of flowers in corridors and inside the original high-quality habitat. Specialist butterflies only rarely leave the corridor and fly into the matrix if compared with generalist butterfly species. Furthermore, the relative difference in the probability of leaving a corridor was much more pronounced between the two corridor qualities for specialists than for generalists. In conclusion, corridors with high habitat quality, such as many flowering plants, support species and population persistence. Specialist species especially respond to corridor quality, such as the availability of flowers or a calcareous grassland-like species composition.

Method: Participants were 6,057 non-Hispanic White (NHW), Black, and Hispanic men and women in the Washington/ Hamilton Heights Inwood Columbia Aging Project (WHICAP) who were administered neuropsychological tests of memory, language, and visuospatial abilities at 18 to 24-month intervals for up to 25 years. Invariance analyses were conducted on the three-factor model across sex/gender, racial/ethnic, and sex/gender by racial/ethnic subgroups, as well as across five assessment timepoints. Results: The three-factor model demonstrated full measurement invariance across sex/gender groups and over repeated measurements. However, partial measurement invariance (invariant factor structure and factor loadings but nonequivalent observed score intercepts) for the language domain was exhibited across racial/ethnic and sex/gender by racial/ethnic subgroups. Conclusion: Establishing measurement invariance is essential for valid interpretation of group differences in cognitive test performance. Findings from the current study highlight the need for continued examination of sex/gender by racial/ethnic differences in measurement properties of assessment tools, as well as expanded research on sex/gender variability across other understudied racial/ethnic groups.

Where competition interacts with anthropogenic habitat modification, this natural ecosystem process can become a threatening process. Understanding the mechanisms behind competition in such cases is essential for the formulation of cost-effective management responses for biodiversity conservation. According to the resource availability hypothesis of competition, interference competition limits access to resources by species vulnerable to such aggression and wastes energy in evasive responses. Studying competition is notoriously difficult, however, empirical evidence of the resource availability theory is limited, and there are few published experimental studies showing such an effect at larger scales. We present the results of a controlled and replicated empirical study of interference competition at a landscape scale. We removed an aggressive, overabundant native bird, Manorina melanocephala (noisy miner), whose interference competition is a threatening process for small woodland birds in the highly modified agricultural landscapes of eastern Australia. We monitored foraging and harassment rates of small woodland birds before and after removal to indicate if levels of interference competition changed. Due to unexpected immediate recolonisation, abundance of M. melanocephala in treatment sites declined by only 34% relative to control sites. Twenty-four bird species displayed aggressive behaviour towards other birds and 41 bird species were victims of aggression. Manorina melanocephala was responsible for 66% of all aggressive interactions. After removal, we recorded a doubling in foraging rate of small woodland birds in treatment compared to control sites. This appears to confirm the resource availability hypothesis of competition. Paradoxically, however, increased foraging was not accompanied by a decline in harassment. Low detection rates of harassment of small woodland birds, combined with the modest reduction in abundance of M. melanocephala, make it difficult to draw firm conclusions about the relationship between rates of harassment and rates of foraging.

Specimens from the early middle Miocene Megami Limestone in the Sagara area and from the middle Miocene limestone blocks within the Yugashima Group on the Izu Peninsula are described as Turbo (Marmarostoma) histrioides sp. nov. and Turbo (Marmarostoma) i:uensis sp. nov., respectively. Discovery of these two new species raises the number of Marmarostoma species from four to six in the Sagara and Izu Peninsula areas, demonstrating that the subgenus was more diverse in the northeastern Philippines Sea Plate during the middle Miocene than it is today. In particular, there are double the number of Marmarostoma species (four species) from the middle Miocene in the Izu Peninsula compared with the modern fauna on the tropical islands of the Izu-Ogasawara Arc. The highest richness of modern species of Marmarostoma is found in the central Indo-West Pacific, where molecular phylogenetic studies have suggested that the subgenus rapidly diversified in the late Oligocene or early Miocene. Nevertheless, Miocene species of this subgenus are sparse in the central IWP, being incongruent to the diversity pattern expected from the molecular studies. The findings reported herein provide an insight into the origin of the central IPW biodiversity hotspot.

Of the many studies conducted there are varying results, though most concluded that only very young SRC in the establishment phase are of particular value for species protection. For a better evaluation of biodiversity functions of SRC with the potential to be generalized, we conducted a meta study combining existing data from 14 projects with a total of 73 plots from SRC in Central Europe (Germany and Czechia), using ground beetles (Carabidae). Ground beetles are a speciose and well-studied family, with a long tradition as indicators of several aspects of biodiversity because of their diverse habitat requirements and species traits. Results show that SRC not only provide benefits for biodiversity by providing endangered pioneer species an ephemeral pioneer habitat (particularly during the establishment phase of the SRC), but also at the fringes. A second function is that of providing strict forest species of limited dispersal ability with habitat corridors, which is the case particularly in older, long-existing SRC. Age of the plantation is much more important in this regard than the length of the rotation intervals. In the future, multifunctional landscapes which aim to maintain open fields and cultivate forest biodiversity would benefit from a stronger consideration of SRC.

The model can answer the following types of question: The planning model developed involves two components: (1) a decision framework using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to incorporate experts' knowledge in planning and design under uncertainty and (2) a mixed integer linear program (MILP) to determine the optimal expert-based OPVC design. The framework was applied to different scenarios for the Malaysian palm oil industry. Results show that the demand for crude palm oil (CPO) in Malaysia can be fully satisfied while the international demand can be satisfied by about 60% in 2050. However, in order to minimise environmental impacts and risks of biodiversity losses, the contribution of Malaysia towards satisfying global demand for palm oil should be kept to a minimum. Moreover, the current plantations can satisfy future CPO demand after 5 to 10 years, after which best practices to improve palm oil yield and alternatives comparable to palm oil will be needed. The framework can potentially contribute to the development of better policies in the future through the proposed systematic approach in dealing with sustainability issues in the palm oil industry.

Aimed to protect this natural resource, the Constitutional Court of Colombia declared the river subject to rights. The objective of this study was to quantify trace elements in sediments and fish from Atrato watershed, assessing their environmental and human health risk. Forty-two trace elements were quantified using ICP-MS. Thirty-one elements increased their concentration downstream the river. Concentration Factors (CF) suggest sediments were moderately polluted by Cr, Cu, Cd, and strongly polluted by As. Most stations had Cr (98%) and Ni (78%) concentrations greater than the Probable Effect Concentration (PEC) criteria. Together, toxic elements generate a Pollution Load Index (PLI) and a Potential Ecological Risk Index (RI) that categorized 54% of the sediments as polluted, and 90% as moderate polluted, respectively. Hemiancistrus wilsoni, a low trophic guild fish species, had the greater average levels for Ni, Cu, As and Cd, among other elements. Rubidium and Cs showed a positive correlation with fish trophic level, suggesting these two metals biomagnify in the food chain. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) for As was greater than 1 for several species, indicating a potential risk to human health. Collectively, data suggest gold mining carried out in this biodiversity hotspot releases toxic elements that have abrogated sediment quality in Atrato River, and their incorporation in the trophic chain constitutes a large threat on environmental and human health due to fish consumption. Urgent legal and civil actions should be implemented to halt massive mining-driven deforestation to enforce Atrato River rights. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Here the phylogenetic relationships among the populations of Eryx in Iran and adjacent areas are studied based on two mitochondrial markers (cytb and 16S). Sixteen morphological characters were examined for evaluation of morphological differences among major populations. Ecological niche modeling was applied to demonstrate the potential distribution of the populations in Iran. ENMtools was also used to measure the degree of niche overlap among the major populations in Iran. Based on phylogenetic reconstruction and considering the genetic distances with specimens from type localities, E. tataricus is a junior synonym of E. miliaris and the subspecies rank for E. m. nogaiorum seems to be invalid. Considering the genetic distance of populations in western Iran and Iraq, and the habitat and morphological differences among the populations of Eryx in western Iran, Iraq and Egypt, the population of Eryx in western Iran is suggested as a different species from E. jaculus, named here as Eryx sp. and the ones from Iraq as Eryx cf. jaculus. Here, the evaluation and revision of taxonomic status, distribution ranges and descriptions of morphological characters of the studied species have been done.

The establishment of protected areas (PAs) is one of the most important strategies in protecting biodiversity, as they offer a partial solution to habitat modification. Our main objective was to analyse the temporal and spatial trends in the anuran species inventories of PAs in Brazil, therefore providing an extensive list of anuran species in the Brazilian PAs network for the first time. We considered a combination of keywords while using the data on "Scopus", "Scielo", and "Web of Science". We found 115 papers that published anuran species lists for 101 Brazilian protected areas. Overall, we registered 605 species distributed in 20 families. Only seven out of the 605 anuran species registered in the present study are threatened by extinction and 40 are listed as Data Deficient. The number of anuran species inventories in Brazilian protected areas has increased over time (r = 0.17; r(2) = 0.267; p<0.01), with its peak in 2011 (n = 15 inventories). The majority of the species inventories were conducted in protected areas located in the Atlantic Forest (55.45 %). The number of anuran species per protected area varied from seven to 80; however, we did not find any relationship between the species richness and size of the protected areas (r(2) = 0.027; r = 0.165; p = 0.092). Our results can be useful to fill the gaps and integrate knowledge; and this reinforces the importance of the present study in contributing to the knowledge and conservation of anuran species in Brazil.

TI Diversity and size-structured persistence of tropical carnivores in a small, isolated protected area SO MAMMALIA LA English DT Article DE connectivity; fragmentation; isolation; niche partitioning; occupancy model; protected areas ID ACTIVITY PATTERNS; FOREST; FRAGMENTATION; CONSERVATION; OCCUPANCY; DENSITY; MODELS AB Protected areas are critical to biodiversity conservation. Yet many protected areas around the world are very small, and population persistence can be compromised in small habitat patches, particularly for large species. But we do not know how small is too small for long-term population viability, or the degree to which habitat area effects vary with mammal body size, for most tropical species. Here, diversity and species occurrence were assessed in a small national park that has long been isolated from other forest patches. The two largest Bornean carnivores, the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) and sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), may be locally extinct, but 12 smaller carnivores appear to be persisting. The banded civet (Hemigalus derbyanus), the Malay civet (Viverra tangalunga) and the leopard cat (Prionaiturus bengalensis) had relatively high occurrence rates and were found in all habitat types, though were more common in hill (banded civet) or lowland (common palm civet) forest (LF). Occurrence probabilities for all of these species and the common palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) were lower in areas more accessible to humans. Detection rates and estimated diversity suggest that this park has a small carnivore assemblage equivalent to those of much larger areas. These are the first results demonstrating size-specific vulnerability to area effects in Southeast Asian carnivores. C1 [Brodie, Jedediah F.] Univ Montana, Div Biol Sci, Missoula, MT 59812 USA.

The large majority of the C-14 dates cluster between similar to 35 and 36 kyr BP, but a range of ages indicate this seep was active from similar to 30 to > 43 kyr BP. Many of the Smilodon fatalis and Canis dirus as well as the Canis latrans have similar delta C-13 (similar to-19 parts per thousand to -18 parts per thousand) and delta N-15 (similar to 11 parts per thousand to 12 parts per thousand) results, indicating that these predators may have consumed similar prey species and possibly competed with each other through hunting and/or scavenging. The remains of contemporary potential prey species for these three predators include juvenile Bison antiquus and Camelops hesternus, and possibly adult Paramylodon harlani and Capromeryx minor. However, the delta N-15 results of a single C. dirus (8.9 parts per thousand) and the Panthera atrox (8.3 parts per thousand) were significantly lower than the other large predators. Potential prey for this dire wolf and lion include Nothrotheriops shastensis, Equus occidentalis and possibly Mammut americanum. Many of the herbivores appear to have utilized broadly similar C-3 ecological environments. However, the adult E. occidentalis had isotopic results similar to the Sylvilagus sp. and Spermophilus beecheyi that have restricted home ranges, suggesting this horse was similarly local in its distribution or consumed a similar plant food selection. The isotopic values for extant taxa (Actinemys marmorata, Crotalus sp., Mustela frenata) suggest similar dietary patterns to their modern counterparts, indicating their ecological niches have remained relatively constant. The results presented here establish a foundation for future diachronic studies to better understand how the climate of the last similar to 50 kyr BP impacted biodiversity and ecological communities in southern California.

This article contends that population heterogeneity alone offers an incomplete picture of how ethnic-based tension can affect incarceration rates. Rather, we argue that majority ethnic groups around the world use prison systems in order to govern and manage minority populations, especially those systematically excluded from power. In addition, we argue that these political structures have their roots in a nation's colonial legacy, a legacy that shapes a nation's contemporary incarceration rates. Results from our quantitative analysis reveal that controlling for competing explanations, there are positive associations between ethnic political exclusion and the length and form of a nation's colonial experience and rates of incarceration.

Based on a qualitative study and semi-structured interviews with 33 respondents, this study sheds more light on the environmental involvement of a particular category of stakeholder rarely considered in the managerial literature. The findings show the risk management issues, corporate legitimacy objectives, and regulatory requirements underlying this type of environmental involvement. We also identify the main practices and benefits of fully engaging with indigenous peoples on environmental issues, particularly in terms of knowledge of local ecosystems and sensitive sites, biodiversity management, development of environmental values within the organization, and support in environmental monitoring. The paper contributes to the literature on both environmental management and relationships between extractive organizations and indigenous communities. Managerial implications and avenues for future research are also discussed.

Yet, studies on this effect of urbanization, and the spatial scale at which it acts, are at present inconclusive due to the large heterogeneity in taxonomic groups and spatial scales at which this relationship has been investigated among studies. Comprehensive studies analysing this relationship across multiple animal groups and at multiple spatial scales are rare, hampering the assessment of how biodiversity generally responds to urbanization. We studied aquatic (cladocerans), limno-terrestrial (bdelloid rotifers) and terrestrial (butterflies, ground beetles, ground- and web spiders, macro-moths, orthopterans and snails) invertebrate groups using a hierarchical spatial design, wherein three local-scale (200 m x 200 m) urbanization levels were repeatedly sampled across three landscape-scale (3 km x 3 km) urbanization levels. We tested for local and landscape urbanization effects on abundance and species richness of each group, whereby total richness was partitioned into the average richness of local communities and the richness due to variation among local communities. Abundances of the terrestrial active dispersers declined in response to local urbanization, with reductions up to 85% for butterflies, while passive dispersers did not show any clear trend. Species richness also declined with increasing levels of urbanization, but responses were highly heterogeneous among the different groups with respect to the richness component and the spatial scale at which urbanization impacts richness. Depending on the group, species richness declined due to biotic homogenization and/or local species loss. This resulted in an overall decrease in total richness across groups in urban areas. These results provide strong support to the general negative impact of urbanization on abundance and species richness within habitat patches and highlight the importance of considering multiple spatial scales and taxa to assess the impacts of urbanization on biodiversity.

No previous studies have explicitly addressed how the very different atmospheric composition and Atlantic geometry during the early Eocene (approximately 55 million years ago) may have affected South American climate. At that time, the Atlantic Ocean was approximately half of its current width and the CO2 concentration of Earth's atmosphere ranged from similar to 550 to similar to 1500 ppm or even higher. Climate model simulations were performed to examine the effects of these major state changes on the climate of tropical South America. Reducing the width of the Atlantic by approximately half produces significant drying relative to modern climate. Drying is only partly offset by an enhancement of precipitation due to the higher CO2 of the early Eocene. The main mechanism for drier conditions is simple. Low-level air crosses the tropical Atlantic from North Africa in much less time for a narrower Atlantic (2 days) than for the modern Atlantic (similar to 6 days); as a result, much less water is evaporated into the air and thus there is far lower moisture imported to the continent in the Eocene simulation than in the modern control. The progressive wetting (during the mid- to late Cenozoic) of the Amazon due to the widening Atlantic and the rising Andes, only partly offset by decreasing CO2 values, may have been partly responsible for the accumulating biodiversity of this region.

Modelling how deforestation responds to environmental policy implementation has thus become a policy relevant scientific undertaking. However, empirical parameterization of land-use/cover change (LUCC) models is challenging due to the high complexity and uncertainty of land-use decisions. Bayesian Network (BN) modelling provides an effective framework to integrate various data sources including expert knowledge. In this study, we integrate remote sensing products with data from farm-household surveys and a decision game to model LUCC at the BR-163, in Brazil. Our 'business as usual' scenario indicates cumulative forest cover loss in the study region of 8,000 km(2) between 2014 and 2030, whereas 'intensified law-enforcement' would reduce cumulative deforestation to 1,600 km(2) over the same time interval. Our findings underline the importance of conservation law enforcement in modulating the impact of agricultural market incentives on land cover change.

High-elevation grasslands are sensitive to human activities and climate change, however little is reported about the effect of temperature, precipitation, and N deposition on productivity. For monitoring long-term changes in productivity, four ungrazed sites were established in 1984 in a high-elevation grassland of the Tianshan mountains in central Asia and grassland productivity was measured over approximate to 2-3 decades. In addition, a site with four N addition treatments was established in 2009. We conducted an 8-yr experiment in which nitrogen was added in the high-elevation grassland. These results show an aboveground net primary production (ANPP) increase in both spring and the peak growing season at ungrazed sites with increasing temperature and precipitation in the past 30 yr. ANPP of grasses and total grasses and forbs were strengthened by increased N deposition, especially when heavy snowfall was accompanied by higher spring and growing season temperatures. ANPP of total grasses and forbs was significantly correlated with snowfall. High-elevation grasslands are clearly susceptible to climate change and N deposition.

Specifically for limitations on forest restoration, we first recommend considering measures prior to land use changes to deal with the common lack of efforts to anticipate and plan restoration. Second, we suggest using multiple references in restoration planning to avoid simplified reference characterization, and we advise assessing ecosystem recovery with indicators that better incorporate ecosystem complexity in recovery assessments. Finally, we propose initiatives to encourage scientific communication outside academia to diminish the communication gap between scientists and practitioners.

The genus Vauxia, previously only known from middle Cambrian (Miaolingian, Wuliuan) Lagerstatten, was regarded as the earliest fossil record of non-spicular demosponges. Here we describe the first vauxiid sponge, Vauxia leioia new species, from the early Cambrian Chengjiang Biota (Series 2, Stage 3). This sponge exhibits a double-layered fibrous skeleton: the mesh and fiber thickness of the endosomal layer are irregular while the dermal layer, which directly connects with the endosomal skeleton without intermediate supporting fibers, is regular in both aspects. Measurements using scanning electron microscope and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the endosomal fibers are composed of carbonaceous material, but are tomographically indiscernible from the host rock, while the dermal fibers are preserved as impressions without obvious accumulation of carbonaceous material. Although the original composition of the dermal skeleton is now hard to establish, we cannot rule out that it was siliceous. The morphological characters of V. leioia n. sp. represent an intermediate state between other Vauxia species and the recently established vauxiid genus Angulosuspongia. However, more data are required to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship among these taxa.

TI Strategic landscape-scale planning to improve mitigation hierarchy implementation: An empirical case study in Mediterranean France SO LAND USE POLICY LA English DT Article DE Mitigation hierarchy; Land-use planning; No net loss; Strategic environmental assessment; Conservation science ID NO NET LOSS; ENVIRONMENTAL-IMPACT ASSESSMENT; BIODIVERSITY OFFSETS; SPATIAL PRIORITIZATION; CONSERVATION; RESTORATION; URBANIZATION; SELECTION; GAP AB Continued urban development is a major cause of the loss of biodiversity. In this context, the objective of a No Net Loss (NNL) of biodiversity has been adopted in many countries worldwide. Reaching such an objective requires the application of the mitigation hierarchy, an environmental policy that aims to minimise the impact of urban development. It consists of a hierarchy transposed in France by a sequence of avoidance, reduction and, as a last resort, offsetting of residual impacts on biodiversity that have not been avoided or reduced. Currently, a project-by-project approach with little avoidance, much investment in the reduction of impacts and piecemeal efforts to offset biodiversity losses, significantly limits the effectiveness of the application of the mitigation hierarchy. This difficulty is largely due to a lack of both anticipation and more strategic planning of the mitigation hierarchy by decision-makers at the landscape scale. The purpose of this study is to propose a method that "scales up" the implementation of the mitigation hierarchy from the project-level to a landscape-scale approach. Based on an empirical study, we propose an operational framework for implementation of the mitigation hierarchy at this landscape scale on the basis of spatial indices that are used to (1) set priorities for impact avoidance and (2) pre-identify sites as candidates for offset provision. This methodology provides a much-needed tool to anticipate for the avoidance step and integrate offsetting into the planning process in a more Strategic Environmental Assessment type approach. We show how the use of this method is relevant in a territory that is currently undergoing rapid population growth and urbanization (Montpellier Metropolitan Territory in the south of France). Finally, this paper illustrates the importance of conducting such research in close collaboration with practitioners and public decision-makers to facilitate interactions between developers and conservation stakeholders and improve implementation by land-use planners.

The study is based on longitudinal data organized as a panel survey applied to fixed sample of 402 rural properties for each survey in the years of 1997/98, 2005 and 2015. The construction of Belo Monte dam produced a demographic boom in Altamira, with the urban population almost doubled during the construction period between 2011 and 2014. The increased demand for food in Altamira's markets was expected to boost production in the local agropastoral economy. However, the supply of jobs during the dam construction to work in the dam or in the new jobs in the urban area led to an exodus of rural workers, causing a shortage of labor in rural areas and an increase in labor costs of the agricultural activities. This scenario has accelerated the trend of productive specialization of agricultural commodities (i.e., beef and cocoa) instead of strengthening the local agricultural production to supply the local markets with vegetables and staple crops. Labor shortage in rural areas was the main driver of changes in the local agricultural activities and the impacts were more evident among the households with lower purchasing power and less market integration. The study shows that the impacts of large dams on the agricultural sector tend to vary according to the degree of consolidation of the productive activities and the market conditions of the products associated to these activities at the time the changes occur (i.e., the period of the dam construction). The study shows that the promises made that the dam would lead to regional economic development were not delivered, and that the agricultural sector if anything declined in its food production capacity. Governments and dam builders should either not promise, or make better plans and policy making to ensure that these goals are achieved.

Understanding the long-term trajectory of changes in LULC, and the resulting impact on landscape structure, is essential for the development of adequate, environmentally sound land use policies. To this end, we characterized the spatiotemporal aspects of LULC changes, and their effects on the landscape, in an agricultural backdrop of oil palm cultivation, based on a multi-temporal analysis of the period between 1991 and 2013. We classified Landsat images and analyzed landscape changes in 2588.72 km(2) of the oil palm expansion zone (polo do dende), located between the municipalities of Moju, Acara, and Tailandia (called Moju region), northeastern Para, Brazil. We found that, during this period, 47.7% of the primary forest was converted for other uses, degraded forest increased by 17%, and oil palm plantation increased by 11%. Thirty percent of the primary forest was converted to oil palm plantation during the 22-year study period, however, between 2005 and 2013, primary forest conversion to oil palm increased by just 2%. In contrast, changes in landscape structure were related to the fragmentation of the forest cover, leading to an increasing isolation of forest patches and reduction in the area of forest remnants. These data offer a clear warning sign that for future expansion of palm oil plantations in the Para state we need to adopt strategies focused on landscape integrity, and develop initiatives towards the regulation of large areas of monoculture, helping guarantee the region's environmental sustainability.

Connectivity improvement is the adaptation strategy most often cited to address species conservation in a changing environment. Many studies of protection at local and regional level zones usually show separate portions of habitat, defining the protected area, but they do not provide guidance on where and how to act to preserve the habitat quality and connectivity of the populations, on a consistent scale with planning units. In this paper, the analysis of fragmentation-connectivity focuses on cereal steppes of the Jarama and Henares rivers (Spain) to study the habitat and connectivity of steppic birds populations into protected areas of the Natura 2000 network, quantifying the effect on this protected area and on the species of interest caused by the massive development of infrastructure and urbanization due to the expansion of Madrid metropolitan area. In this sense, the Great Bustard (Otis tarda) was used as a bioindicator, due to its high demand for habitat quality. The proposed methodology only needs to be based on data from wildlife sightings and land use. Once the variables (density, biophysics and urbanization) were defined, it was possible to determine the values of influence, applying them to generate the map of areas of probability of presence and movement of the Great Bustard. This can be used to support conservation plans based on habitat connectivity. C1 [Gutierrez, J.; Velazquez, J.; Hernando, A.; Sanchez, B.; Gomez, I] Catholic Univ Avila, Avila, Spain.

NBS is defined as actions based in nature addressing societal challenges. In this study, we lean on the concept boundary object, broken down into three analytical categories: use, core ideas and granularities, to explore the cohesive and fragmenting powers of the NBS concept, and discuss its future role in green space governance. The study is based on a structured, qualitative review of 112 scientific peer-reviewed publications that use the term NBS. Most publications are from 2017 or later, highlighting the novelty of the NBS concept. The concept has a strong footing in the European urban context. Flood mitigation and functional ecosystems and biodiversity conservation are the most targeted sustainability goals in the publications, and a diversity of solutions are considered. There is a close link between the NBS concept, green infrastructure, and the ecosystem service concept, indicating a path dependency in its uptake and use. The publications demonstrate a low level of integration of the NBS concept (i.e. it is commonly used as a buzz word). Most empirical studies focus solely on environmental benefits delivered by NBS, and few studies assess social, economic, and environmental benefits together, which is a central ambition of the concept. We conclude that the NBS concept is working on the boundaries between different scientific disciplines and between science and policy. Depending on how the research community deals with identified temporal, epistemological and ontological granularities, we conclude that the concept has three potential developmental pathways; broader and deeper, biased with stickiness to older green concepts and an empty buzz word.

However, to what extent does rehabilitation also restore cultural ecosystem services? This paper investigates the perception of two groups of recreationists that use rehabilitated bauxite mine areas in southwest Australia, bushwalkers and mountain bikers. The area has been continuously mined and progressively rehabilitated for over 50 years. Research was developed through: (i) mapping the distribution of recreation trails, mined areas and rehabilitated areas; (ii) conducting in-depth interviews with recreationists regarding perceptions and usage of forest areas and; (iii) an online survey to gauge forest characteristic preferences for recreational use. The data was subjected to statistical and qualitative analysis. Results showed that bushwalkers usually avoid mined areas while mountain bikers do not and that the recreationists' perception of rehabilitated areas is largely shaped by the absence of large and old trees and natural landforms. We found that meeting regulatory requirements for rehabilitation, as measured by ecological indicators, does not automatically correlate with acceptable social outcomes. Conclusions highlight the value of reframing mine rehabilitation practices to accommodate cultural services in post-mining land use planning considerations alongside the well-established ecological goals so as to explicitly demonstrate the social benefits of rehabilitation.

Objective: To evaluate the thematic accuracy of hotspots and wildfire records in a region of Michoacan de Ocampo, Mexico. Materials and methods: Rapid Eye high spatial resolution images were classified to detect fire scars. The images were crossed with hotspot maps from the MODIS sensor, processed by the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO), and from the MODIS, AVHRR and GOES sensors, processed by the National Meteorological Service (SMN), as well as with wildfire records from the National Forestry Commission (CONAFOR). Detection rates and confusion matrices were generated to assess accuracy. Results and discussion: The detection rate was higher with the CONABIO MODIS sensor (>75 %) in categories greater than 50 ha. The overall accuracy of hotspots was 62 %; however, the errors of omission (underestimation) and commission (overestimation) were 85 and 34 %, respectively. The fires reported by CONAFOR lack spatial coincidence with respect to scars, so the accuracy analysis was discarded. Conclusion: The use of hotspots, according to detection rates, is ideal for fires exceeding 50 ha. The thematic accuracy of hotspots and fire records should be evaluated at the beginning of a study.

The findings indicated that respondents have positive attitudes, moderate knowledge of marine issues, and they value the marine environment for the multiple ecosystem services that it provides. Litter and pollution from industry were considered as the most important marine threats, followed by fishing and farming. Participants suggested that informing the public and giving prominence to environmental education can contribute to marine conservation efforts. They felt that research centers and scientific community were more competent than governmental authorities and the private sector concerning the management and protection of the marine environment. Intention to adopt environmental behaviors was influenced by normative considerations, attitudes toward marine biodiversity and perceived behavioral control beliefs. The results may: 1) help inform policymakers to improve marine resource management towards a more sustainable relationship between people and the sea; 2) support the development of marine strategies that fit the social preferences, needs, and priorities to increase the likelihood of public support; and 3) support marine spatial planning efforts to uncover the intrinsic complexity of societal interactions with the marine environment. The findings further support policymakers that wish to promote behavior change through communication strategies that deliver environmental messages that focus on enhancing normative considerations, behavioral control beliefs, and corresponding attitudes.

In line with these targets, the Commission on the Conservation of Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has been working towards adopting MPAs in the Southern Ocean. CCAMLR is considered a leader in science-based management and has been guiding the way on international MPAs. The west Antarctic Peninsula, threatened by climate change and industrial fishing, has been a priority area for MPA planning in CCAMLR. Since 2011, Chile and Argentina have worked to develop an Antarctic Peninsula MPA proposal which they submitted to CCAMLR in 2018. We use the Antarctic Peninsula MPA proposal process as a case study for understanding the science-policy interface in this international conservation regime. Specifically, we use existing frameworks for co-production of actionable science to examine the Antarctic Peninsula MPA process. We show that the Antarctic Peninsula MPA Proponents engaged in a highly collaborative, transparent, and science-based process which exemplified best practices for actionable science and co-production. Despite following best practices for actionable science, the MPA proposal has not yet been adopted, largely due to political barriers. We elaborate on the importance of co-production of actionable science and its effectiveness as well as to limitations in the Southern Ocean and beyond. Finally, we highlight that science-policy best practices may not be sufficient to drive consensus and the ultimate need for political will in the decision-making underpinning MPA designation in the Southern Ocean.

Despite operational challenges, this approach is considered key to optimising conservation outcomes whilst making efficient use of limited resources. Drawing on lessons learnt from the UK's MPA Programme we discuss the practical issues which arise from: i) effective selection of conservation features identified as surrogates for biodiversity, ii) adequacy of feature representation across the MPA network and iii) implementation of quantifiable conservation objectives and ability to monitor progress in relation to them [4,5]. There is recognition that high-level feature surrogates adopted for MPA designation may not adequately represent the full range of biodiversity present across UK marine habitats, and several of these features are indiscernible using acoustic mapping techniques. This results in our inability to accurately map their distribution and extent. Additionally, monitoring progress in relation to conservation targets is hampered by a lack of reliable indicators to assess change in their ecological status. Recommendations for the optimisation of MPA designation and monitoring using a systematic, evidence based approach are provided. These include: 1) flexibility in feature classifications to allow additional features to be designated as required, 2) communication of limitations in the evidence base to enable informed use in adaptive management decisions, 3) use of innovative technologies to more accurately map habitat features and 4) development of wider UK and regional sea scale monitoring programmes which align with an ecosystem based approach to the ongoing assessment of marine biodiversity.

TI Landsat 8 TIRS-derived relative temperature and thermal heterogeneity predict winter bird species richness patterns across the conterminous United States SO REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Biodiversity; Breeding bird survey (BBS); Thermal refugia; Remote sensing; Conservation; Climate change; Thermal infrared sensor ID GLOBAL CHANGE; CLIMATE; ENERGY; SCALE; BIODIVERSITY; CHALLENGES; DIVERSITY; SHIFTS; COUNT; MODIS AB The thermal environment limits species ranges through its influence on physiology and resource distributions and thus affects species richness patterns over broad spatial scales. Understanding how temperature drives species richness patterns is particularly important in the context of global change and for effective conservation planning. Landsat 8's Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) allows direct mapping of temperature at moderate spatial resolutions (100 m, downscaled by the USGS to 30 m), overcoming limitations inherent in coarse interpolated weather station data that poorly capture fine-scale temperature patterns over broad areas. TIRS data thus offer the unique opportunity to understand how the thermal environment influences species richness patterns. Our aim was to develop and assess the ability of TIRS-based temperature metrics to predict patterns of winter bird richness across the conterminous United States during winter, a period of marked temperature stress for birds. We used TIRS data from 2013-2018 to derive metrics of relative temperature and intra-seasonal thermal heterogeneity. To quantify winter bird richness across the conterminous US, we tabulated the richness only for resident bird species, i.e., those species that do not move between the winter and breeding seasons, from the North American Breeding Bird Survey, the most extensive survey of birds in the US. We expected that relative temperature and thermal heterogeneity would have strong positive associations with winter bird richness because colder temperatures heighten temperature stress for birds, and thermal heterogeneity is a proxy for thermal niches and potential thermal refugia that can support more species. We further expected that both the strength of the effects and the relative importance of these variables would be greater for species with greater climate sensitivity, such as small-bodied species and climate-threatened species (i.e., those with large discrepancies between their current and future distributions following projected climate change). Consistent with our predictions, relative temperature and thermal heterogeneity strongly positively influenced winter bird richness patterns, with statistical models explaining 37.3% of the variance in resident bird richness. Thermal heterogeneity was the strongest predictor of small-bodied and climate-threatened species in our models, whereas relative temperature was the strongest predictor of large-bodied and climate-stable species. Our results demonstrate the important role that the thermal environment plays in governing winter bird richness patterns and highlight the previously underappreciated role that intra-seasonal thermal heterogeneity may have in supporting high winter bird species richness. Our findings thus illustrate the exciting potential for TIRS data to guide conservation planning in an era of global change.

Timely, accurate, and frequent information on artificial impervious areas is critical to understanding the process of urbanization and land use/cover change, as well as of their impacts on the environment and biodiversity. Despite their importance, there still lack annual maps of high-resolution Global Artificial Impervious Areas (GAIA) with longer than 30-year records, due to the high demand of high performance computation and the lack of effective mapping algorithms. In this paper, we mapped annual GAIA from 1985 to 2018 using the full archive of 30-m resolution Landsat images on the Google Earth Engine platform. With ancillary datasets, including the nighttime light data and the Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar data, we improved the performance of our previously developed algorithm in arid areas. We evaluated the GAIA data for 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015, and the mean overall accuracy is higher than 90%. A cross-product comparison indicates the GAIA data are the only dataset spanning over 30 years. The temporal trend in GAIA agrees well with other datasets at the local, regional, and global scales. Our results indicate that the GAIA reached 797,076 km(2) in 2018, which is 1.5 times more than that in 1990. China and the United States (US) rank among the top two in artificial impervious area, accounting for approximately 50% of the world's total in 2018. The artificial impervious area of China surpassed that of the US in 2015. By 2018, the remaining eight among the top ten countries are India, Russia, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, and Canada.

TI Urbanization and climate change jointly shift land surface phenology in the northern mid-latitude large cities SO REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Land surface phenology; Climate change; Urbanization; Two-band enhanced vegetation index ID VEGETATION GREEN-UP; GROWING-SEASON LENGTH; TIME-SERIES; SPRING PHENOLOGY; INTERANNUAL VARIATION; AMERICAN TEMPERATE; DECIDUOUS FORESTS; AUTUMN PHENOLOGY; URBAN AREAS; MODIS AB Land surface phenology (LSP) has been widely used as the "footprint" of urbanization and global climate change. Shifts of ISP have cascading effects on food production, carbon sequestration, water consumption, biodiversity, and public health. Previous studies mainly focused on investigating the effects of urbanization on the spatial patterns of ISP by comparing phenological metrics, e.g. start of season (SOS) and end of season (EOS), between urban center and the surrounding rural regions. However, it remains unclear how urbanization-induced land cover conversions and climate change jointly influence the temporal variations of SOS and EOS within the urban ecosystem. To fill this knowledge gap, we utilized daily two-band enhanced vegetation index, daily meteorological record, and annual land cover dataset to investigate the respective impacts of urbanization and climate change on temporal shifts of ISP between the post- and the pre-urbanization periods over 196 large cities in the northern mid-latitudes. We found 51% of the cities experienced an advanced SOS with an average of -6.39 +/- 5.82 days after urbanization has occurred, while the remaining 49% of the cities had a delayed SOS with an average of 7.56 +/- 5.63 days. We also found a later EOS at 53% of the cities and an earlier EOS at 47% of the cities with an average of 8.43 +/- 7.59 and - 5.57 +/- 4.99 days between the post- and pre-urbanization periods, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis indicates that climate variables (i.e. temperature, precipitation, and insolation) play dominant roles in regulating the temporal shifts of ISP. Furthermore, the earlier SOS and later EOS were significantly correlated with the amplitude of urbanization (i.e. increase of impervious surface area) in cities after controlling for effects of climate factors. These patterns were generally consistent across eight climate zones. Our findings provide critical information in modeling natural and anthropogenic effects on urban ecosystem, with important benefits for urban sustainability and biodiversity conservation.

TI DNA barcoding of the fire ant genus Solenopsis Westwood (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from the Riyadh region, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia SO SAUDI JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE Fire ant; DNA barcoding; Cytochrome C oxidase I; Biodiversity; Arabian Peninsula AB The ant genus Solenopsis Westwood, 1840 is the largest in Myrmicinae subfamily having almost 200 described species worldwide. They are commonly distributed in the tropics and temperate areas of the world. Some invasive Solenopsis species are very dreadful. We have already reported a fire ant species, Solenopsis saudiensis Sharaf & Aldawood, 2011, identified using traditional morphometric approaches of species identification. Present study was carried out to develop DNA Barcoding to identify Solenopsis saudiensis and to elucidate genetic structure of the various S. saudiensis populations across their distribution range in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The comparison of DNA barcodes showed no genetic diversity among six populations and a queen from S. saudiensis analyzed from the Riyadh region. This genetic resemblance probably reflects their adaptation toward a specific habitat, thus constituting a single and strong gene pool. Our comprehensive field survey did not provide any evidence of Solenopsis species except S. saudiensis in the Riyadh region. Solenopsis saudiensis populations were only found around date palm trees indicating their strong association with date palm groves. Moreover, S. saudiensis has 83-86% sequence identity to other Solenopsis spp. from other parts of the world. Interestingly, the highest sequence identity of (86%) was with that of Solenopsis molesta Say, 1836, the thief ant, from the USA. This study provides a working laboratory procedure and a reference library for the identification of Solenopsis saudiensis.

How much aware they are with the significance and conservation of agricultural biodiversity in order to improve their crop yield remains unclear, especially from the developing courtiers. Pollination is one of such ecosystem services, enormously contributed by the wild bees. In the present study, we have investigated the knowledge of farmers about bees and pollination in general in three districts i.e. Multan, Bahawalpur and Khanewal of southern Punjab, Pakistan. Some 300 farmers (100 cucurbit growers in each district using convenient sampling method) were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Respondents were first presented with a box of insect specimens and then were asked to identify bees among those. Those who identified correctly were asked to state about their nesting sites. Only 11% of the respondents could correctly identify the bees and half of them could report something about nesting sites. A majority (63%) of the farmers was unable to tell fertilization requirements in cucurbits, 59% could not distinguish female flower from the male flower and 64% could not state any benefit of bees. However, upon briefing about the significance of bee pollinators, 58% of the farmers showed eagerness to conserve bees at their farms. Keeping in view the inadequacies of farmers' knowledge about wild bees and pollination in general, the present study also gives some policy recommendations.

Furthermore, it is crucial to unraveling the driving mechanism behind the initiation of orogeny. To track the earliest stages of Andean growth, we studied the Aysen/Rio Mayo basin (ARB) in the North Patagonian Andes. The small degree of Cenozoic tectonic overprinting in this part of the Andes has allowed outstanding preservation of the deformational and sedimentary record of the earliest Andean deformation. In this study, we employ a multidisciplinary approach involving structural geology, sedimentology, geochronology, and provenance studies from the Early Cretaceous Apeleg Formation (similar to 130-122 Ma) in the ARB and geochemical analysis of intrusive Cretaceous igneous rocks. Particularly, the recognition of syncontractional growth strata at several localities indicate a syntectonic origin for this unit and provide additional structural evidence of Early Cretaceous contraction in the North Patagonian Andes. Thus, the Apeleg Formation is interpreted as deposited during a contractional basin stage. Geochemical data from Aptian-Albian intrusive igneous rocks indicate that initial contraction emplaced over thinned crust likely inherited from the Jurassic extension in the ARB. This stage is then compared with a new synthesis of the earliest Cretaceous contraction along the Andes. This analysis reveals that the ARB likely holds the oldest post-Gondwanic synorogenic unit along the orogen and more significantly, that Andean birth was a diachronous process which propagated northward since the late Early Cretaceous. The latter findings have major implications for the evolution of the Andes and shed light into the driving mechanism behind initial orogeny. (C) 2019 International Association for Gondwana Research.

The diversity among California AI/AN tribes, including regional differences in economic opportunities, tribal affiliation and organization, resources and infrastructure, requires a strong community-based partnership approach to assess global statewide patterns in service availability, acceptability, and utilization, as well as capturing the unique challenges and service needs within each region. This article describes a statewide community-based needs assessment of strengths and weakness among key informants in CA to identify facilitators and barriers to treatment of substance use disorders (SUD) and opioid use disorders (OUD). We conducted structured interviews of 21 healthcare professionals from Urban Indian Health Programs, Tribal clinics and community-based organizations throughout California. The interview assessed (1) barriers to accessing services; (2) risk factors; (3) protective factors; (4) community substance use description; (5) SUD and OUD services available; and (6) service system needs. Findings indicate an overall increase in SUD and OUD in AI/AN communities. Key informants discussed the importance of comprehensive and culturally centered care, wrap-around services, such as treatment of mental health issues alongside substance abuse, and the need for AI/AN-specific treatment facilities that integrate traditional and cultural activities into western health services.

Rodriguez-Ramirez, Ramses Sanjurjo-Rivera, Enrique TI Transitioning to alternative livelihoods: The case of PACE-Vaquita SO OCEAN & COASTAL MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article ID RESOURCE; CONSERVATION AB The transition of artisanal fishing communities to alternative livelihoods is a pressing issue around the world -due to either overexploitation of the fishing stock or climate change related impacts or biodiversity loss associated with by-catch. Learning the factors that increase the probability of a successful transition is useful for policy design purposes. In this context, this paper studies the factors associated with the probability that a fisher in transition to an alternative livelihood remains in such livelihood. We analyze data gathered in the Northern Gulf of California, Mexico, where a government program (PACE-Vaquita) was launched in 2008 to incentivize the transition to alternative livelihoods to avoid by-catch of the Vaquita Marina -an endangered species. We model the probability of a successful transition (measured as remaining in the alternative livelihood by 2012) as depending on fisher's characteristics, and alternative livelihood features. We find that a successful transition was more likely to happen if the fisher i) was a woman; ii) lived in the community of San Felipe; and iii) the alternative livelihood was initially funded not only using the money from PACE-Vaquita but also through a loan from another (not necessarily institutional, formal) source. These results point to the relevance of providing financial services that target women in the context of artisanal fisheries.

TI Critical gaps in seagrass protection reveal the need to address multiple pressures and cumulative impacts SO OCEAN & COASTAL MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Integrated coastal zone management; Management plan; Seagrass conservation; DAPSIR framework; Ecosystem-based management ID ECOSYSTEM-BASED MANAGEMENT; INTEGRATED COASTAL; DPSIR FRAMEWORK; POLICY; BAY; SCIENCE; SERVICES; RECOVERY; AREAS; CONSERVATION AB Management is failing to adequately protect coastal ecosystems. Here we reviewed the policies, legislation, plans and management frameworks intended to protect seagrass meadows in 20 case-studies with the aim of identifying critical gaps in seagrass protection. The case-studies were chosen to represent a range of regions known to have high cumulative impacts or outstanding seagrass management. We asked five 'key questions' in our review to identify gaps in seagrass protection: 1) are seagrass habitats identified as an ecosystem of environmental significance, 2) what are their main threats, 3) does management consider cumulative impacts and 4) multiple pressures, and 5) are these habitats recovering? Seagrass protection was enacted inconsistently, through a range of legislative, policy and planning processes that only sought to mitigate some of the known pressures. Although the importance of preserving biodiversity and ecosystem services were acknowledged in over 80% of the case-studies, actionable plans to specifically address known pressures were lacking. Poor integration across jurisdictional realms and sectoral management approaches prevented the holistic strategy needed to address multiple pressures. We suggest a priority for enhancing protection of seagrass ecosystems is improving legislation, policies and planning frameworks to consider multiple pressures and cumulative impacts from marine and land-based activities. Management of seagrass ecosystems is likely to be indicative of trends in coastal management more generally, highlighting the urgent need to address multiple pressures and cumulative impacts in legislation and policies.

But as new fishers arise throughout the years, the perception of local abundance changes which might result in a "shifting baselines syndrome". We investigated how the perception of fishers about species abundance changed through time (from 1970 to 2016) and space (five ports), through questionnaires in the small-scale/artisanal fisheries of Murcia, Spain. Two major results emerged, firstly species catches significantly decreased between the decades 1970-1990 and 2000-2016, possibly due to overfishing and habitat degradation. Catches of species with some particular functional traits decreased (96%) possibly due to lower plasticity or to a "fishing down the food web" effect. Secondly, some functional trait categories (very large size, deep water depth, large yearly displacements and very vagile) were the highest in the northern ports of San Pedro del Pinatar and Cartagena while Cabo de Palos had the highest values in species with solitary and territorial behaviour and vagile or sedentary mobility. Fishers' perception of catch trends of commercial species seemed aligned with other sources of information for this area and might be key information in the absence of more quantitative information.

After a disturbance to a rocky subtidal macroalgal assemblage in the Mediterranean Sea (Italy) by a shipwreck (Costa Concordia), we compared native and non-native seaweed community structure at the disturbed site and two reference sites using traditional abundance measures, in addition to employment of the ALien Biotic IndEX (ALEX). ALEX has been recently proposed as a potential multi-metric indicator to evaluate biological invasions in Mediterranean macroalgal assemblages, taking into account both the relative abundance of macroalgal NIS to native seaweed abundances and the invasive traits of those NIS. We found that macroalgal NIS were initially more abundant at the disturbed site, but four months later were decreased and there were no difference with the reference sites. Native macroalgal cover at the disturbed site was lower than at reference sites in the initial survey, but unexpectedly decreased significantly four months later. Despite the decline in the cover of macroalgal NIS, ALEX was consistently lower through time at the disturbed site, due to concurrent declines in native seaweed abundances. This suggests that evaluation of macroalgal NIS should not be based on cover of macroalgal NIS alone and that the relative cover of native species should also be considered. ALEX may represent a versatile tool to be employed in both monitoring programs and impact evaluation studies.

This study aimed to identify environmental impacts through the selection and analysis of indicators, which often occur in the Student Trail, located in the Tijuca National Park. In this park, thousands of species coexist, many of them endemic species and threatened with extinction. By monitoring the track analyzed, there were some environmental impacts, such as vegetation trampling and fallen trees, which alter the dynamics of local communities. In addition, it was possible to observe the irregular disposal of residues along the trail and vandalism, such as graffiti on the interpretative plates. In this way, frequent public visitation, as occurs in the analyzed Park, requires management strategies for the region. Studies such as this, assist in the planning of mitigating actions within protected natural spaces.

TI Hepatocellular Carcinoma Incidence Is Decreasing Among Younger Adults in the United States SO CLINICAL GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY LA English DT Article DE SEER; Liver Cancer; Prevalence; Epidemiology ID CANCER; RISK; PREVALENCE; MORTALITY AB BACKGROUND & AIMS: Incidence rates for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) increased rapidly in the United States since the 1990s, but have plateaued or started to decrease in other industrialized countries. It unclear if and when a similar trend will be observed in the United States. We examined trends in HCC incidence rates in the United States by age, sex, and race/ethnicity of patients. METHODS: We calculated age-adjusted HCC incidence rates using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program of cancer registries from 1992 through 2015. We estimated incidence rates by 10-year age group and used joinpoint regression to quantify the magnitude and direction of trends, overall and by sex and race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islander). RESULTS: HCC incidence increased by 4.8% per year from 1992 through 2010 (from 4.1 per 100,000 to 9.4 per 100,000) but then started to plateau (annual percentage change, -0.7; 95% CI, -2.0 to 0.7). Incidence rates steadily increased among persons 60 years or older in all racial/ethnic groups except Asian/Pacific Islanders 70 to 79 years old. In contrast, incidence rates decreased in younger and middle-aged adults, in men and women of all races/ethnicities, beginning in the mid-2000s. Rates decreased by 6.2% per year in persons 40 to 49 years old and by 10.3% per year in persons 50 to 59 years old. Annual decreases in incidence were larger among middle-aged blacks (17.2% decrease per year since 2012) compared with adults of the same age in other racial/ethnic groups. CONCLUSIONS: In an analysis of data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program of cancer registries from 1992 through 2015, we found the incidence of HCC to be decreasing among younger and middle-aged adults in the United States, regardless of sex, race, or ethnicity. It is unclear whether current decreases in incidence will reduce the burden of HCC in the future.

TI Development of Algorithmic Dementia Ascertainment for Racial/Ethnic Disparities Research in the US Health and Retirement Study SO EPIDEMIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Alzheimer's disease; Algorithms; Dementia; Disparities; Machine learning; Measurement ID DEMOGRAPHICS; PREDICTION AB Background: Disparities research in dementia is limited by lack of large, diverse, and representative samples with systematic dementia ascertainment. Algorithmic diagnosis of dementia offers a cost-effective alternate approach. Prior work in the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study has demonstrated that existing algorithms are ill-suited for racial/ethnic disparities work given differences in sensitivity and specificity by race/ethnicity. Methods: We implemented traditional and machine learning methods to identify an improved algorithm that: (1) had <= 5 percentage point difference in sensitivity and specificity across racial/ethnic groups; (2) achieved >= 80% overall accuracy across racial/ethnic groups; and (3) achieved >= 75% sensitivity and >= 90% specificity overall. Final recommendations were based on robustness, accuracy of estimated race/ethnicity-specific prevalence and prevalence ratios compared to those using in-person diagnoses, and ease of use. Results: We identified six algorithms that met our prespecified criteria. Our three recommended algorithms achieved <= 3 percentage point difference in sensitivity and <= 5 percentage point difference in specificity across racial/ethnic groups, as well as 77%-83% sensitivity, 92%-94% specificity, and 90%-92% accuracy overall in analyses designed to emulate out-of-sample performance. Pairwise prevalence ratios between non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Hispanics estimated by application of these algorithms are within 1%-10% of prevalence ratios estimated based on in-person diagnoses. Conclusions: We believe these algorithms will be of immense value to dementia researchers interested in racial/ethnic disparities. Our process can be replicated to allow minimally biasing algorithmic classification of dementia for other purposes.

This study was conducted on a forest slope, in which the soil environment and plant growth gradually changed. We measured the gross and net rates of ammonification and nitrification, the abundance of predicted ammonifiers and nitrifiers, and their community compositions in the soils. The abundance of predicted ammonifiers did not change along the soil environmental gradient, leading to no significant change in the gross ammonification rate. On the other hand, the abundance of nitrifiers and the gross nitrification rate gradually changed. These accordingly determined the spatial distribution of net accumulation of ammonium and nitrate available to plants. The community composition of predicted ammonifiers gradually changed along the slope, implying that diverse ammonifiers were more likely to include taxa that were acclimated to the soil environment and performed ammonification at different slope locations than specialized nitrifiers. Our findings suggest that the abundance of ammonifiers and nitrifiers directly affects the corresponding nitrogen transformation rates, and that their diversity affects the stability of the rates against environmental changes. This study highlights the role of microbial diversity in biogeochemical processes under changing environments and plant growth.

However, few studies have systematically assessed the biodiversity relationships of plants and soil fauna from rare to abundant taxa along environmental gradients, especially in the rhizosphere. This study aimed at exploring the alpha and beta diversity associations between plants and soil fauna along an elevational gradient while systematically considering rare to abundant plants and animals, and different plant life forms. We sampled soil fauna (litter fauna and rhizosphere fauna of trees, shrubs and herbs) and investigated plant diversity in 119 plots along an elevational gradient (from 1,020 to 1,770 asl) on Dongling Mountain, China. We calculated alpha diversity from both Renyi's generalized entropy function and Jost's effective species numbers assigning different weights to abundant and rare taxa. Beta diversity was obtained based on a presence-absence metric (beta-sim) and an abundance-based metric (beta-morisita). Abundant litter fauna showed decreasing alpha diversity patterns with increasing elevation, whereas rare litter fauna showed hump-shaped patterns. Abundant litter fauna diversity was positively correlated with abundant tree diversity, but rare litter fauna were negatively correlated with abundant shrub diversity. The diversity of rare fauna associated with the herb rhizosphere showed hump-shaped elevational patterns, whereas no patterns were found for abundant fauna associated with the herb rhizosphere. Rare fauna diversity associated with the herb rhizosphere was negatively correlated with rare herb diversity. No beta diversity correlations between rhizosphere fauna and plants were detected, whereas the beta-sim diversity of litter fauna was positively correlated with that of trees and herbs. Our study suggests that litter fauna are more closely coupled with plant diversity than rhizosphere fauna. We conclude that the diversity associations of plants and soil fauna are dependent on plant life form and are largely driven by rare taxa. Furthering this understanding will enhance our ability to predict the responses of belowground communities to environmental change based on information of plant communities.

In regions such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the fragile natural environment, lakes appear to be highly sensitive to climate changing. In the Golmud Basin, which is situated on the north edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the interactions among lakes area variations, climate change and anthropogenic interference have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we analyzed lakes area variations in the Golmud Basin using Landsat-TM/ETM image data from 1980 to 2015. Within the study period, the lakes in the area have undergone two cycles with four stages: expansion in 1980-1990, shrinkage in 1990-2005, expansion in 2005-2010, and shrinkage in 2010-2015 again. In 2009, the Qarhan Salt Lake was basically enlarged and connected to the neighboring small lakes, while Dabuxun Lake had its maximum area in 2010. From 2011 to 2015, East Taijinaier Lake was shrinking and nearly dried up due to excessive water, mineral exploitation, and human blocking the connection among rivers and lakes. Climatic data were analyzed via the Mann-Kendall trend test, and both annual temperature and precipitation in the Golmud City increased considerably. The Landsat-TM/ETM images showed that the mountain glaciers around the basin retreated from 1980 to 2015, resulting in the expansion of the lake area. The land use transfer matrix was used to obtain the changes in land use types; increasing water consumption and population growth are the main factors associated with decreased lakes area and vegetation cover. As an essential part of the ecological environment, lakes have a direct impact on the change of the ecological environment. This study provides a scientific basis for the evaluation of the ecological environment quality of the Golmud Basin.

This study employs a multiscale modeling approach in the Rio Doce State Park (PERD), located in Minas Gerais, Brazil, based on a previous study on land use change in this region over the last 30 years (1985-2015), with an aim of predicting possible scenarios for the next 15 years (2015-2030). The results indicate that the municipalities and buffer zones within the PERD will suffer from increased human disturbance in all four land use types present in the region (Urban, Agriculture, Pasture, and Forestry). Correspondingly, areas of natural environment (Forest and Water) will shrink due to an increase in forest fragmentation, causing the loss of permanent ecological reserves, thereby endangering the biodiversity of these areas. Cooperation between the local community and private companies is therefore necessary to improve regional environmental conservation, encourage advanced sustainable development, and improve the quality of life for residents within each municipality near the State Park.

We hypothesised that the MD of Odonata larvae might be affected by oil palm plantation since changes in the landscape might cause the loss of microhabitats that are essential for the larval life cycle. A total of 950 Odonata larvae were collected in 11 streams located in a continuous forest area (inside the legal reserve) and 18 streams located in oil palm streams surrounded by riparian vegetation. There was a significant difference in the MD of the larvae between the oil palm and forest areas. When we compared the results obtained using traditional measures of biodiversity (estimated species richness) with those obtained using the measure of MD, MD was more efficient. The RLQ tests showed a significant relationship between genus abundance and environmental variables, and between genera and morphological traits. We believe that the suppression or change in riparian vegetation might increase the sediment load input and decrease the amount of plant substrate available in the system, leading to the simplification of morphological traits. Therefore, such traits might be used as indicators of environmental impact.

TI Use of Potentially Reduced Exposure Tobacco Products Among American Indian Smokeless Tobacco Users: Associations With Cessation Behaviors and Cotinine Levels SO PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS LA English DT Article DE smokeless tobacco; electronic cigarettes; snus; tobacco cessation ID ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE; UNITED-STATES; ADULTS; SMOKING; TRENDS; MORTALITY; HEALTH; DISPARITIES; PREVALENCE; DEPENDENCE AB Objectives: American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults use smokeless tobacco products (eg, chewing and dip tobacco) more often than other racial/ethnic groups do. Although US adults increasingly use potentially reduced exposure tobacco products (PREPs), such as electronic cigarettes and snus, no studies have examined the use of PREPs among AI/AN smokeless tobacco users. We examined associations between current PREPs use and smokeless tobacco-related measures, including cessation attempts and cotinine levels, in a sample of American Indian adults who currently use smokeless tobacco. Methods: We collected survey and tobacco biomarker data from 299 adult American Indian smokeless tobacco users at Cherokee Nation health care facilities and events in 2016 and 2017. We used multivariable analyses to determine associations between current PREPs use and smokeless tobacco-related characteristics. Results: Current PREPs users were younger, less likely to be married or living with a partner, less likely to report a chronic medical condition, and more likely to report other tobacco use than PREPs nonusers. Among participants with annual household incomes <=$30 000, current PREPs users were less likely than PREPs nonusers to report a definite desire to quit smokeless tobacco (P = .02). PREPs use was not associated with planning to quit smokeless tobacco, past 12-month smokeless tobacco quit attempts, amount of smokeless tobacco used per week, cotinine levels, or scores on the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence-Smokeless Tobacco. Conclusions: Our study suggests that American Indian smokeless tobacco users may not be using PREPs as a smokeless tobacco cessation aid. Future studies should take this finding into consideration when evaluating the role of PREPs use in smokeless tobacco cessation and in total tobacco cessation in this population.

The upper reaches of both drainages intersect the northern portion of the APA Escarpa Devoniana (Devonian Escarpment Environment Protection Area, EPA), an area considered crucial for the preservation of biodiversity. This study aimed to provide an ichthyofaunistic inventory for headwater streams of the rio das Cinzas and rio Itarare basins, both within and off of the borders of the EPA, increasing the knowledge about the species already known from streams in the rio Paranapanema system. We found 32 fish species, representing five orders and 12 families. Siluriformes was the richest order followed by Characiformes. Ten species presented high abundance of sampled individuals, contributing with 85.0% of all specimens. Most species were classified as occasional (captured in less than 25% of the samples) and only two species were classified as constant (captured in more than 50% of samples), which may reflect the altitudinal gradient. We did not record any introduced species in the sampled streams, reinforcing the need of, at least, maintaining the original area of the EPA. We expanded the geographic distribution of Astyanax bifasciatus to the upper rio Parana system, confirming the cases of faunal exchange among several drainage systems in the limits of the Ponta Grossa Arch. Finally, we identified three putatively undescribed species that show a large biodiversity knowledge shortfall for the region studied.

TI Evidence for a local reef eclipse in a shallow marine carbonate environment following the regional extinction of archaeocyaths in Laurentia (Stage 4, Cambrian) SO FACIES LA English DT Article DE Archaeocyatha; Lithistida; Reef eclipse; Extinction recovery; PARED; Point count ID LARGE IGNEOUS PROVINCE; SMALL SHELLY FOSSILS; MICROBIAL REEFS; SERIES 3; ANTHASPIDELLID SPONGE; PLATFORM CARBONATES; GREAT-BASIN; MIDDLE; BIODIVERSITY; ORDOVICIAN AB Archaeocyathan sponges were the dominant metazoan framework builders during Series 2 of the Cambrian. After their near extinction during the Toyonian stage (middle Stage 4), this important ecological role was eventually filled by robustly skeletonized lithistid sponges. However, the exact timing of ecological restructuring is not well understood and was likely not contemporaneous across different paleocontinents. For example, reefs from the Wuliuan of China appear to show rapid replacement of archaeocyaths with lithistid sponges, yet the earliest occurrence of lithistids in Laurentia is not until the early Furongian. In this study, we explore the Mule Spring Limestone of Nevada, which contains shallow water carbonate environments from the immediate aftermath of the regional archaeocyathan extinction, for signs of reef-building activity. Within this formation, we find evidence of sparse microbial-built leolites and some potentially poorly preserved metazoan organisms. However, the totality of our field observations and thin-section point counts suggest that there was no substantial reef-building activity by either microbial or metazoan organisms within our study locality. Our data suggest the occurrence of a local reef eclipse during this interval for the locality investigated. We also incorporate geochemical proxies to determine paleoredox conditions, which suggest well-oxygenated marine conditions through the period of interest. Lack of hardground substrate is proposed as the cause for this gap in the reef record. These results show that a temporary loss of framework-building activity occurred after the regional extinction of archaeocyaths and demonstrates the ecological impact of losing framework builders on a reef environment.

However, China's largest continental group of islands, the Zhoushan Archipelago, was neglected by most studies focusing on biodiversity hotspots. Here we investigated the phylogeographic patterns and the historical demography of two sympatric hemipteran insects (Geisha distinctissima and Megacopta cribraria), which shared historical factors in the Zhoushan Archipelago. The results based on mtDNA (COX1, COX2-COX3, and CYTB) and nDNA (28S and ITS2) showed that G. distinctissima diverged into three genetic lineages (L1-L3) similar to 8.9-13.7 thousand years ago (kya), which coincided with the period of island isolation. However, the three lineages exhibit no clear phylogeographic patterns for frequent asymmetrical gene flow (starting around 5 kya) from the mainland and adjacent islands to other distant islands due to subsequent human activities. In contrast, only one genetic lineage exists for M. cribraria, without any phylogeographic structures. The ancestral range in the mainland as well as in neighboring islands, together with the frequent asymmetrical gene flow of M. cribraria (from the mainland and neighboring islands to more distant islands) within the last 5000 years suggests that human activities may have lead to the colonization of this species in the Zhoushan Archipelago. The contrasting genetic structures indicate shared historical factors but independent evolutionary histories for the two sympatric species in the Zhoushan Archipelago. Our demographic analysis clearly showed that both species underwent population expansion before 5 kya during the post-LGM (Last Glacial Maximum), which indicates that the two species shared concordant historical demographies. This result suggests that the population size of the two species was affected similarly by the climatic oscillations of post-LGM in Eastern China. Together, our findings reveal that the two insect species in the Zhoushan Archipelago exhibit contrasting genetic structures despite concordant historical demographies, which provides an important framework for the exploration of the evolution patterns of sympatric species in the continental island.

TI Conservation genomic analysis reveals ancient introgression and declining levels of genetic diversity in Madagascar's hibernating dwarf lemurs SO HEREDITY LA English DT Article ID CHEIROGALEIDAE PRIMATES; SEPARATION HISTORY; GENUS CHEIROGALEUS; POPULATION-SIZE; NEUROPEPTIDE-Y; CLIMATE-CHANGE; MOUSE LEMURS; SEQUENCE; ALIGNMENT; BIOGEOGRAPHY AB Madagascar's biodiversity is notoriously threatened by deforestation and climate change. Many of these organisms are rare, cryptic, and severely threatened, making population-level sampling unrealistic. Such is the case with Madagascar's dwarf lemurs (genus Cheirogaleus), the only obligate hibernating primate. We here apply comparative genomic approaches to generate the first genome-wide estimates of genetic diversity within dwarf lemurs. We generate a reference genome for the fat-tailed dwarf lemur, Cheirogaleus medius, and use this resource to facilitate analyses of high-coverage (similar to 30x) genome sequences for wild-caught individuals representing species: C. sp. cf. medius, C. major, C. crossleyi, and C. sibreei. This study represents the largest contribution to date of novel genomic resources for Madagascar's lemurs. We find concordant phylogenetic relationships among the four lineages of Cheirogaleus across most of the genome, and yet detect a number of discordant genomic regions consistent with ancient admixture. We hypothesized that these regions could have resulted from adaptive introgression related to hibernation, indeed finding that genes associated with hibernation are present, though most significantly, that gene ontology categories relating to transcription are over-represented. We estimate levels of heterozygosity and find particularly low levels in an individual sampled from an isolated population of C. medius that we refer to as C. sp. cf. medius. Results are consistent with a recent decline in effective population size, which is evident across species. Our study highlights the power of comparative genomic analysis for identifying species and populations of conservation concern, as well as for illuminating possible mechanisms of adaptive phenotypic evolution.

However, traditional watershed studies on biodiversity have mostly focused on benthic macroinvertebrates, macroalgae and fish assemblages. Here, we investigated the diversity and interaction patterns of microbial communities in water and bed sediment of streams impacted by intensive watershed activities versus streams with relatively pristine conditions via next-generation sequencing of 16S rRNA amplicons using Illumina HiSeq platform. Both water and sediment microbial communities at forested sites had higher mean alpha-diversity than developed sites. Although microbial alpha-diversity indices were generally higher in bed sediment than water, they were comparable at forested sites. In addition, losses of taxa important in nitrogen cycle were evident particularly in bed sediment of developed sites. Interactions among microorganisms visualized by microbial network were more complex at forested sites versus developed sites, with more keystone taxa predominantly from sediment. Together, these findings suggest stream water and bed sediment microbial communities may be affected by watershed disturbances in distinctive ways, and losses of important functional microbial players and keystone taxa in bed sediment may result in decline of ecosystem functions and services. Therefore, cautions should be taken when implementing remediation strategies such as sediment dredging, and reseeding contaminated sites with key microbial players may catalyze the recovery of ecosystems.

The environmental DNA (eDNA)-based approach has unprecedented advantages (e.g., high throughput, high efficiency and low cost) for biodiversity surveys in both freshwater and marine ecosystems compared with traditional sampling and image recognition. The use of eDNA has been mostly limited to biodiversity estimation, how to apply the eDNA approach in assessing the ecological health status is largely unexplored. Here, using zooplankton as an example, we examined the application of eDNA monitoring for ecological status assessment in an aquatic ecosystem. The results showed that eDNA monitoring reflected the spatial and temporal variations in zooplankton structure. Both species composition and bio-interactions varied significantly between sampling seasons (dry, normal and wet). A total of 60 different zooplankton indices were calculated based on eDNA monitoring and most of these indices were highly correlated with the level of water pollution, which was indicated by the water quality index in one or all three seasons. Both qualitative and quantitative eDNA-based biological indices were correlated with water quality. The season-dependent eDNA zooplankton integrity index (IZI) reflected the ecological status, and this method improves the timeliness of bioassessment.

Most examined plots belong to young forests; in particular, three age classes were considered (class 1, < 22 years; class 3, 38-56 years; class 5, > 77 years). Twenty-seven species and 2433 individuals were recorded. Box plots showed that forest age did not seem to be a key factor for land snail species richness and abundance at least in the time range of examined forests. However, this may not be true, if real old-growth forests are considered. No differences between evergreen and deciduous forest were found too. With regard to species composition, Non-metric multidimensional scaling demonstrated an assemblage of species widespread in all forest age classes, while Indicator Species Analysis failed to identify any species as indicator for any age category. This shows that a process is underway but has had insufficient time to differentiate assemblages and to accumulate the majority of rare species, due to the young nature of examined forests. Habitat structure may affect communities more than forest age: suitable microhabitats (a few old/very old trees for shelter) are a sufficient prerequisite for land snail diversity, ensuring community survival and protection, irrespective of forest age class. These findings highlight the importance of habitat structural complexity at local scale for preserving invertebrate diversity in Mediterranean secondary forests.

However, little is known about the effects of these activities on the natural regeneration of Cerrado vegetation. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the accumulation of woody biomass in an area of a Cerrado sensu stricto that was monitored for 27 years after the implementation of six silvicultural systems. A period of 17 years was sufficient for the woody community of the Cerrado sensu stricto to naturally recover its original stock of aerial biomass after the application of silvicultural systems. A Few woody species contribute to the total aerial biomass accumulated over time, and such contribution is variable with time and with the type of silvicultural system. At 27 years after cutting, the largest fraction of biomass accumulated in the area were represented by the species Miconia leucocarpa, Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Schefflera macroccupa, Qualea grandiflora, Dalbergia Miscolobium, Eriotheca pubescens, Qualea parviflora and Caryocar Brasiliense, which also demonstrated higher fire resistance. A period of 17 years after the implementation of silvicultural systems is considered sufficient for an area to recover naturally to the original stock of woody biomass at the community level. This result causes a greater reduction in the biomass of fire-sensitive species and transforms a Cerrado from a carbon sink into a source of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.

TI The effect of species diversity on tree growth varies during forest succession in the boreal forest of central Canada SO FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Boreal forest; Complementarity; Diversity; Facilitation; Fire; Productivity; Succession; Tree growth ID ECOSYSTEM PRODUCTIVITY; FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY; CARBON STORAGE; BIODIVERSITY; DYNAMICS; FIRE; COMPETITION; UNDERSTORY; BIOMASS; STANDS AB Although major advances have demonstrated that species diversity has a general positive effect on forest ecosystem productivity, some studies report negligible or even negative effects, highlighting remaining uncertainty in our knowledge of the ecological mechanisms that influence diversity-productivity relationships. In particular, ecological succession is postulated to drive temporal shifts in the strength and direction of diversity-productivity relationships, but few studies have explicitly tested this hypothesis because long-term succession data (from forest initiation to eventual climax) are rare. Using a detailed, replicated chronosequence (space-for-time substitution) study design of 53 natural forest stands (ages 8 to 210 years) in the boreal forests of central Canada, we investigated the relationship between neighbourhood species diversity and tree growth of five dominant boreal tree species, covering entire, long-term secondary successional sequences following stand-replacing wildfire. We found compelling evidence that the strength of the relationship between species diversity and tree growth changes over the course of secondary succession, following a general "hump-shaped" pattern, with mid-succession stages of higher functional diversity exhibiting the strongest growth-diversity relationships. However, tree species exhibited individualistic responses to succession-driven changes in species diversity, with broadleaf species (e.g., Populus tremuloides) generally showing negative responses, whereas conifers (e.g., Pinus banksiana) responded more favorably to higher neighbourhood diversity. Furthermore, our results show the effect of individual tree size on the relationship between species diversity and tree growth to be highly variable, contradicting the hypothesis that larger trees benefit more from complementarity due to size-asymmetric competitive ability. These results contribute to disentangling the mechanisms that link species diversity to forest growth and function, which is important to sustainable forest management planning and for predicting the consequences of global biodiversity loss, especially for the boreal forest, which plays a critical role in controlling global carbon flux and climate.

Prevailing neoliberal and efficiency-based mindsets tend to focus on avoiding risk and creating "fail-safe" systems. In the last decade, resilience thinking has emerged as a means to transition from risk-averse, and command-and-control governance approaches towards those that are more adaptive, innovative and collaborative. To examine the practical usefulness of a resilience thinking approach, we used a complex, multi-layered case study of Tasmanian coastal governance. Drawing on the diverse expertise and a variety of key governance actors, we identified crucial problems being experienced with the Tasmanian coastal governance regime and discussed potential contributions of resilience thinking to address them. Thematic analysis of the results revealed three major contributions: resilience thinking (1) provides a way to think about change and uncertainty; (2) is compatible with proactive and entrepreneurial leadership; and (3) effectively considers issues of scale in the decision-making process. We conclude by offering practical suggestions towards devolved leadership and improved cross-scale collaboration, and consider the possibility of a hybrid resilience and risk-based approach to coastal management and governance.

TI Wise use: using ecological models to understand and manage aquatic ecosystems SO MARINE AND FRESHWATER RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID CONSERVATION; VARIABILITY; SENSITIVITY; DYNAMICS; SPACE; TOOL AB Using ecological-response models to understand and improve management of aquatic ecosystems is increasingly common. However, there are many questions about reliability and utility that can make the use of ecological modelling fraught. One critical question is how ecological-response models translate to what happens in practice. Many models purport to improve management by simulating ecological response to changing conditions. This suggests that tangible benefits (e.g. increased biodiversity) should flow when recommendations for action are implemented. But testing these links is rare and there are implications if those links are tenuous. One problem leading to a lack of congruence between models and reality can be a lack of ecological data for the system being modelled. Incomplete understanding, erroneous assumptions about drivers or degree of variability, and uncritical use of expert opinion can all result in models that may be more likely to mislead than inform. Explicit validation of models, sensitivity testing and ongoing development of novel solutions to deal with incomplete data can all assist. So, wise and critical use of ecological models provides one mechanism to increase our ability to quantify adverse effects on, and project future trajectories of, aquatic ecosystems.

These models have shown that phytoplankton with complementary life-history traits related to resource exploitation assemble into stable states of lumpy coexistence when resources fluctuate where species' niches occur in clusters along resource gradients. They have also shown that a high degree of competitive dissimilarity between clusters arises, and that this relates to the incidence of monospecific blooms of allelochemical-producing taxa, i.e. some harmful algal bloom (HAB) species. These findings further suggest that the mode (sudden v. gradual changes) under which limiting resources fluctuate plays an important role in determining the emergent properties of the assemblage. For example, productivity, biodiversity and the number of species clusters (and, therefore, resistance to HABs) are all enhanced when switches in resource supplies are gradual, compared with when they are sudden. These theoretical findings, as well as others discussed herein, are of particular interest in watersheds where human activities, such as dam construction, have the capacity to dramatically alter natural-resource fluctuation patterns.

TI Trends in the ecological character of the world's wetlands SO MARINE AND FRESHWATER RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Ramsar Convention; Ramsar Sites; Sustainable Development Goals; wetland assessment ID EXTENT AB We assessed trends in the ecological character of wetlands generally and of Ramsar Sites reported in 2011, 2014 and 2017 by the Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in their national reports. There was more widespread deterioration than improvement in the ecological character of wetlands generally, with deterioration increasingly more widespread between 2011 and 2017. The ecological-character trends in Ramsar Sites were significantly better than those of wetlands generally, but an increasingly more widespread deterioration of ecological character was reported between 2011 and 2017. Trends in the ecological character of wetlands generally, and of Ramsar Sites were worst in Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean, and recently also in Oceania, and better in North America and Europe. Deterioration in the ecological character of Ramsar Site was more widespread in countries with a large average area of their Ramsar Sites. This information on trends of wetland ecological character can contribute to assessing the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal Target 6.6 and Aichi Biodiversity Target 5. Our analysis indicated that the 1971 aim of the Ramsar Convention to stem the degradation of wetlands has not yet been achieved. C1 [Davidson, N.

Genebanks, a primary source of exotic germplasm for novel crops and breeding materials, need comprehensive methods to detect novel and unknown phenotypes without a priori information about the species or trait under consideration. We demonstrate how persistent homology (PH) and elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFD), two morphometric techniques easily applied to image-based data, can serve this purpose by cataloging leaf morphology in the USDA NPGS kura clover collection and demarcating a leaf morphospace for the species. Additionally, we identify a set of representative accessions spanning the leaf morphospace and propose they serve as a kura clover core collection. The core collection will be a framework for monitoring the effects of climate change on kura clover in situ diversity and determining the role of ex situ accessions in modern agriculture.

The object is located in the town of Jaworzno-Szczakowa in the Silesian Upland of southern Poland. It has been shown that the sandpit, which has not been reclaimed since its operation ceased, underwent spontaneous processes toward the development of calciphilic vegetation. The Biala Przemsza River plays a significant role in supplying the swamp with water. The water of this river is highly contaminated because it receives wastewaters from zinc-lead (Zn-Pb) ore mines. Water that has high concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions favours the occurrence of calciphilic species (e.g., Liparis loeselii NATURA 2000 species), which form wetlands of carbonate vegetation that are rare in both Poland and Europe. The population size of this species on the studied swamp is a few hundred specimens. In addition to Liparis loeselii, there are other species that are protected or rare and endangered species at the national level and on the "red list" of Poland's plants, hence such swamps could represent an important refuge for biodiversity.

The study examines the natural and human-induced disturbance factors that determine natural forest conservation and management in a dry temperate mountainous region. To better assess anthropogenic disturbance factors, we randomly selected 26 stands of the forest by using the point-centered quarter (PCQ) method of Cottam and Curtis to collect the information about tree species during the summer season between July to September 2015. Results show that there is no ideal size class distribution of tree species noticed in selected sample stands. Gaps in small, middle, large and extra-large classes were observed in different locations representing noticeable natural (i.e., sliding, forest fire, flood, soil erosions, earthquakes) and anthropogenic (i.e., illegal cutting, looping, tapering, burning, and grazing) disturbances. To conserve biodiversity, it is therefore essential to introduce social forestry, preventing illegal anthropogenic activities, and provide alternative livelihood options for the inhabitant to reduce anthropogenic disturbance on these forests. This study would be helpful for exposing the present status and future trends of forest tree species, as well as more awareness about conservation of forests in the region by conducting a similar study in the remaining forested areas in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Here we assess if animal adaptations to cope with low densities (i.e. that facilitate mate-findings or promote spatial aggregation of individuals) can allow species to persist in human-altered habitats. A spatially explicit and individual-based model was developed to assess if, and under what circumstances, such adaptations maintain population viability. The model was parameterised with data from the movement and demography of the spur-thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca) and simulated scenarios with differences in adult survivorships, initial population Sizes and habitat alterations. Habitat alterations reduced population viability, and extinction rates were dependent on population characteristics and mate-finding distance. In contrast, philopatry around the birthplace did not prevent extinctions. Our results highlight the importance of considering specific spatial traits of species when assessing their vulnerability to human habitat alterations.

SO ORYX LA English DT Article DE Deforestation; Gurney's pitta; habitat; Hydrornis gurneyi; Lenya National Park; Myanmar; South Tanintharyi; Sundaic lowland ID BIODIVERSITY; CONSERVATION; EXPANSION; MYANMAR; POPULATION; TRANSITION; IMPACT AB The remaining large patches of lowland forest in Tanintharyi, southern Myanmar, are the last global stronghold for the Endangered Gurney's pitta Hydrornis gurneyi. Except for a few individuals, the remaining population is now restricted to this forest, below 150 m altitude, mostly within the Nga Wun, Lenya, and Parchan Reserved Forests. However, as in much of South-east Asia, Tanintharyi has been subjected to extensive deforestation, particularly for oil palm cultivation. The aim of this research was to determine the extent of remaining habitat suitable for Gurney's pitta. During January-October 2016 we revisited 142 locations (of 147) where the species was detected during 2003-2012, and found it in only 41 of those locations (29%); in all other locations the forest had been cleared. We measured the decline of suitable habitat since 1999 by examining all available intact forest in areas with elevations < 150 m and slope < 10 degrees. In less than 2 decades suitable habitat has declined from 3,225 to 656 km(2) (80%). Protection of remaining lowland forest is now critical. Although the expansion of oil palm cultivation has slowed since its peak in the early 2000s, two national parks proposed by the Myanmar government in 2002, which would potentially offer legal protection for most of the remaining Gurney's pitta habitat, remain on hold because of political uncertainties. We recommend an alternative conservation approach for this species, based on an Indigenous Community Conserved Area model, and further research to improve knowledge of the species and to determine how it could be saved from extinction.

TI Using climate change models to inform the recovery of the western ground parrot Pezoporus flaviventris SO ORYX LA English DT Article DE biomod2; climate change; parrots; reintroduction; South-West Australian Floristic Region; species distribution model; threatened species; translocation ID SPECIES DISTRIBUTION MODELS; CONSERVATION; DISTRIBUTIONS; BIODIVERSITY; ACCURACY; ABSENCES; IMPACTS; PREDICT; REGION; SPACE AB Translocation of species to areas of former habitat after threats have been mitigated is a common conservation action. However, the long-term success of reintroduction relies on identification of currently available habitat and areas that will remain, or become, habitat in the future. Commonly, a short-term view is taken, focusing on obvious and assumed threats such as predators and habitat degradation. However, in areas subject to significant climate change, challenges include correctly identifying variables that define habitat, and considering probable changes over time. This poses challenges with species such as the western ground parrot Pezoporus flaviventris, which was once relatively common in near-coastal south-western Australia, an area subject to major climate change. This species has declined to one small population, estimated to comprise < 150 individuals. Reasons for the decline include altered fire regimes, introduced predators and habitat clearing. The establishment of new populations is a high priority, but the extent to which a rapidly changing climate has affected, and will continue to affect, this species remains largely conjecture, and understanding probable climate change impacts is essential to the prioritization of potential reintroduction sites. We developed high-resolution species distribution models and used these to investigate climate change impacts on current and historical distributions, and identify locations that will remain, or become, bioclimatically suitable habitat in the future. This information has been given to an expert panel to identify and prioritize areas suitable for site-specific management and/or translocation.

TI Developing biodiversity indicators for African birds SO ORYX LA English DT Article DE Aichi Targets; land bird monitoring; national and international reporting; policy relevant; population abundance; TRIM; Wild Bird Index ID EUROPEAN BIRDS; TRENDS AB Biodiversity indicators are essential for monitoring the impacts of pressures on the state of nature, determining the effectiveness of policy responses, and tracking progress towards biodiversity targets and sustainable development goals. Indicators based on trends in the abundance of birds are widely used for these purposes in Europe and have been identified as priorities for development elsewhere. To facilitate this we established bird population monitoring schemes in three African countries, based on citizen science approaches used in Europe, aiming to monitor population trends in common and widespread species. We recorded > 500 bird species from c. 450 2-km transects in Botswana, > 750 species from c. 120 transects in Uganda, and > 630 species from c. 90 transects in Kenya. Provisional Wild Bird Indices indicate a strong increase in bird populations in Botswana and a small decrease in Uganda. We also provide comparisons between trends of habitat generalists and specialists, of birds within and outside protected areas, and between Afro-Palearctic migrants and resident birds. Challenges encountered included recruiting, training and retaining volunteer surveyors, and securing long-term funding. However, we show that with technical support and modest investment (c. USD 30,000 per scheme per year), meaningful biodiversity indicators can be generated and used in African countries. Sustained resourcing for the existing schemes, and replication elsewhere, would be a cost-effective way to improve our understanding of biodiversity trends globally, and measure progress towards environmental goals.

TI Surveying in highly-modified landscapes to document the occurrence of threatened species: a study of the giant armadillo Priodontes maximus in central Brazil SO ORYX LA English DT Article DE Agro-ecosystems; biodiversity loss; Cingulata; extinction debt; fragmented landscapes; Neotropical habitat; Priodontes maximus; wildlife conservation ID DOG SPEOTHOS-VENATICUS; ATLANTIC FOREST; MINAS-GERAIS; CONSERVATION; DASYPODIDAE; CINGULATA; AREA AB Studies on threatened species in highly modified and unprotected landscapes are necessary for the development of appropriate conservation policies. This is particularly important for species with large home ranges, such as the giant armadillo Priodontes maximus, whose occurrence in anthropogenic landscapes is poorly known despite its categorization as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. We searched and surveyed for the giant armadillo within human-modified areas in central Brazil using direct and indirect methods across a wide region dominated by diverse farming environments and scattered remnants of natural vegetation. During a 14-year period (2003-2016), we located 54 records of the species, including three road-kills and two instances of poaching. Most of the occurrence points (83%) were in native vegetation, with 17% in anthropogenic environments (pastures and roads). We confirmed the presence of the giant armadillo within a wide, intensely human-altered region. These findings indicate that Cerrado and Atlantic Forest remnants in modified landscapes in central Brazil play an important role as refuges for this armadillo species. In addition to habitat loss, road-kills and poaching persist as threats to the giant armadillo. Conservation actions are necessary to minimize human impacts and facilitate the persistence of the giant armadillo in this region. Policies that both deter illegal deforestation and strengthen incentives for the protection of natural vegetation remnants and restoration of biological corridors such as gallery forests would aid conservation of the giant armadillo in this area.

Four themes emerged that form the basis of a model that provides teachers with strategies for assisting students as they learn about their ethnic groups through existing subject matter curricula. These data, and teachers' reports of sustained student engagement when exploration of cultural heritage was incorporated into the curriculum, provide warrant for including instruction in ethnic identity exploration in teacher preparation programs.

This model has been applied for several decades in even-aged, clearcutting (CC) systems but less so in uneven-aged, continuous-cover forestry (CCF). We provide an overview of retention in CCF in temperate regions of Europe, currently largely focused on habitat trees and dead wood. The relevance of current meta-analyses and many other studies on retention in CC is limited since they emphasize larger patches in open surroundings. Therefore, we reflect here on the ecological foundations and socio-economic frameworks of retention approaches in CCF, and highlight several areas with development potential for the future. Conclusions from this perspective paper, based on both research and current practice on several continents, although highlighting Europe, are also relevant to other temperate regions of the world using continuous-cover forest management approaches.

However, the interactive effects of changing reefs and fishing remain poorly resolved. We combine underwater surveys (271 000 fishes), catch data (18 000 fishes), and household surveys (351 households) to evaluate how reef fishes and fishers in Moorea, French Polynesia responded to a landscape-scale loss of coral caused by sequential disturbances (a crown-of-thorns sea star outbreak followed by a category 4 cyclone). Although local communities were aware of the disturbances, less than 20% of households reported altering what fishes they caught or ate. This contrasts with substantial changes in the taxonomic composition in the catch data that mirrored changes in fish communities observed on the reef. Our findings highlight that resource users and scientists may have very different interpretations of what constitutes 'change' in these highly dynamic social-ecological systems, with broad implications for successful co-management of coral reef fisheries.

TI Water diversion in Brazil threatens biodiversity SO AMBIO LA English DT Article DE Animal conservation; Biological conservation; Biological invasions; Biotic interchange; Environmental impacts; Inter-basin water transfer ID RIVER; DROUGHT; REGIONS; BIOLOGY; RISKS AB Construction of water diversions is a common response to the increasing demands for freshwater, often resulting in benefits to communities but with the risk of multiple environmental, economic, and social impacts. Water-diversion projects can favor massive introductions and accelerate biotic homogenization. This study provides empirical evidence on the consequences of a proposed law intended to divert water from two large and historically isolated river basins in Brazil: Tocantins to Sao Francisco. Compositional similarity (CS) and beta-diversity were quantified encompassing aquatic organisms: mollusks, zooplankton, crustaceans, insects, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and plants. For CS we (i) considered only native species, and (ii) simulated the introduction of non-natives and assumed the extinction of threatened species due to this water-diversion project. We highlight the environmental risks of such large-scale projects, which are expected to cause impacts on biodiversity linked to bioinvasion and homogenization, and we recommend alternatives in order to solve water-demand conflicts.

However, traditional risk assessment methods based on fecal indicator bacteria and/or pure culture are not comprehensive at the community level, mainly owing to the limited taxonomic coverage. Here, we combined the technique of high-throughput sequencing and the concept of metacommunity to assess the potential pathogenic bacterial communities in an economically and ecologically crucial but highly polluted river-the North Canal River (NCR) in Haihe River Basin located in North China. NCR presented a significant environmental gradient, with the highest, moderate, and lowest levels of pollution in the up-, middle, and downstream. After multiple analyses, we successfully identified 48 genera, covering nine categories of potential pathogens (mainly human pathogens). The most abundant genus was Acinetobacter, which was rarely identified as a pathogen bacterium in previous studies of NCR. At the community level, we observed significant geographical variation of community composition and structure. Such a high level of geographical variation was mainly derived from differed abundance of species among sections along the river, especially the top seven Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs). For example, relative abundance of OTU1 (Gammaproteobacteria/Acinetobacter) increased significantly from upstream towards downstream. Regarding the underlying mechanisms driving community geographical variation, environmental filtering was identified as the dominant ecological process and total nitrogen as the most influential environmental variable. Altogether, this study provided a comprehensive profile of potential pathogenic bacteria in NCR and revealed the underlying mechanisms of community succession. Owing to their high abundance and wide geographical distribution, we suggest that potential pathogens identified in this study should be incorporated into future monitoring and management programs in NCR. By revealing the correlation between environmental factors and community composition, the results obtained in this study have significant implications for early warning and risk assessment of potential pathogen bacteria, as well as management practices in highly polluted river ecosystems.

To address the increasing need for a framework to support implementation of rewilding in practical management, we present TRAAIL-Trophic Rewilding Advancement in Anthropogenically Impacted Landscapes. TRAAIL has been co-produced with managers and other stakeholders and provides managers with a framework to categorize rewilding initiatives and to link conventional nature management and rewilding by guiding steps towards a higher degree of self-regulation. Applying TRAAIL to data obtained in a Danish survey of rewilding-inspired initiatives we find that out of 44 initiatives there is no "Full rewilding" initiatives, 3 "Near-full rewilding" initiatives, 23 "Partial rewilding" initiatives, 2 "minimal rewilding" initiatives and 16 "Effort-intensive conservation management" initiatives. This study shows how TRAAIL can guide and inform trophic rewilding on a local and national scale.

The broadened focus of protecting ecosystem services (ESs) better aligns the interests of people and biodiversity conservation. In this study, we used species richness as a surrogate for biodiversity and mapped the key ESs in East Africa with the goal to assess the spatial congruence between biodiversity and ESs, and evaluate the representation of current protected areas (PAs) network for biodiversity and ESs. The results showed that PAs well represented for species richness and regulating services but underrepresented for provisioning services. The PAs network occupies 10.96% of East Africa's land surface, and captures 20.62-26.37% of conservation priorities for vertebrate and plant species. It encompasses more than 16.23% of priority areas for three regulating services, but only 6.17% and 5.22% for crop and livestock production, respectively. Strong correlations and high overlaps exist between species richness and regulating services, particularly for carbon storage, water yield and plants. Thus, we believe that actions taken to conserve biodiversity also will protect certain ESs, which in turn will create new incentives and funding sources for the conservation of biodiversity. Overall, our results have wide-ranging policy implications and can be used to optimize conservation strategies for both biodiversity and multiple ESs in East Africa.

In this study, we analysed the organisational perception on the socioeconomic effects of PA designation from all sectors of activity in Spain, accounting for PAs' legal stringency. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to 68 organisations at national, regional (Andalusia) and local scales (two municipalities in the Almeria province, Andalusia) through an online survey. Local stakeholders and the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors were most concerned about the social and economic impacts of PAs designation on their organisations. By contrast, organisations at the national or regional scales together with public institutions, the quaternary sector and other miscellaneous stakeholders perceived predominantly positive effects. Only national organisations perceived an increase in local social and economic effects from the designation of legally stringent PAs with regard to multiple-use PAs.

Focusing on a Chilean biodiversity hotspot, we assessed the landscape in terms of existing woody vegetation elements and proposed a buffer strip and hedgerow network. We used spatial analysis based on Google Earth imagery and QGIS, field surveys, seven guidelines linked to prioritization criteria and seedling availability in the region's nurseries, and estimated the budget for implementing the proposed network. The target landscapes require restoring 0.89 ha km(-2) of woody buffer strips to meet Chilean law; 1.4 ha km(-2) of new hedgerows is also proposed. The cost of restoration in this landscape is estimated in ca. USD 6900 per planted ha of buffer strips and hedgerows. Financial incentives, education, and professional training of farmers are identified as key issues to implement the suggested restoration actions. C1 [Benayas, Jose M.

Gagnon, Patrick TI Kelp-bed dynamics across scales: Enhancing mapping capability with remote sensing and GIS SO JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Kelp bed; Urchin barrens; Remote sensing; Geographic information system (GIS); Aerial and satellite imagery; Benthic monitoring ID WATER COLUMN CORRECTION; CORAL-REEF; SPATIAL-RESOLUTION; AQUATIC VEGETATION; SHALLOW WATERS; SEAGRASS COVER; STABLE STATES; SEA-URCHIN; IN-SITU; SATELLITE AB Kelp are important drivers of productivity and biodiversity patterns in cold-water and nutrient-rich rocky reefs. Scuba- and boat-based methods are routinely used to study submerged kelp beds. However, these time-consuming and labor-intensive methods enable monitoring of beds or the factors and processes that control their distribution over only small spatial (few 100s of m(2)) and temporal (< 5 years) scales. Remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) technologies are increasingly used to compare marine species distribution over multiple spatiotemporal scales. However, there is currently no clear framework and limited demonstration of their potential for studies of broad-scale changes in completely submerged kelp beds. The present study aims to establish the foundation of a simple, accessible, and robust set of remote sensing and GIS-based methods to address key questions about the stability of subtidal kelp beds across multiple spatial and temporal scales. It tests the suitability of conventional image classification methods for mapping kelp from digital aerial (acquired on board a helicopter) and satellite (SPOT 7) imagery of similar to 250 ha of seabed around four islands in the Mingan Archipelago (northern Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada). Three classification methods are compared: 1) a software-led unsupervised classification in which pixels are grouped into clusters based on similarity in spectral signature among pixels; 2) a software-led supervised classification in which pixels are assigned to categories based on similarity in the spectral signature of pixels and that of reference data from each category; and 3) a visual classification carried out by a trained observer. Supervised classification of satellite imagery and visual classification of aerial imagery were the top methods to map kelp, with overall accuracies of 89% and 90%, respectively. Unsupervised classification of both types of imagery showed poor discrimination between kelp and non-kelp benthic classes. Kelp bed edges were more difficult to identify on satellite than aerial imagery because the former presented poorer contrasts and a lower spatial resolution. Kelp bed edges identified with visual classification appeared artificially jagged for both types of imagery, mainly because of the coarse (225-m(2)) spatial units used for this classification. Kelp bed edges were smoother on maps created with the unsupervised and supervised classifications, which used 1-m-pixel images. The present study demonstrates that conventional remote sensing and GIS methods can accurately map submerged kelp beds over large spatial domains in the Mingan Archipelago or in other benthic systems with similar oceanic conditions and a largely dichotomous (kelp-barrens) biological makeup.

The rapidity with which organisms respond to a stress and recover once a stress is removed impacts the cascade of secondary effects that result from such behavioral changes. Such behavioral responses, although critical to our understanding, are difficult to quantify, particularly for organisms such as bivalves that inhabit sediments, the most common spatial habitat on Earth. Sublethal responses to fluctuating stressors such as salinity are rarely quantified in terms of activity. Here we do so using a combination of direct observations and pressure sensors, which allow us to record burrowing and other hydraulic activities. Based on our field observations and the literature, we predicted that there would be a breakpoint in behavior between salinities of 15 and 20 and that below this breakpoint the animals would significantly reduce activities including burrowing and feeding. The data presented support this prediction; burrowing was reduced in all three species at salinities at or below 15 as were fecal deposition and appearance of siphons above the sediment surface. These data are consistent with the prediction that under conditions of large fluctuations in salinity the magnitude of the link to primary productivity and nutrient availability from the benthos will be significantly reduced.

(2017) showed that the genotypic cyclic competition model with three phenotypes appearing as three morphs of male lizards' throats had the same equilibrium but a wider stability region as the corresponding phenotypic model. In this paper we re-examine stability conditions under the symmetric choice of parameters for the phenotypic model so we can set the same internal equilibrium densities for all three phenotypes. In this setting we compare the stability regions of cyclic allele dominance rule. Next we consider the dynamics on a two-dimensional square lattice space and then show the effect of this spatial structure on the stability of phenotypic model. We obtain the following results: (i) Cyclic allele dominance rule in a genotypic model gives a wider stable region of internal equilibrium than the allele dominance rule observed in lizards; and (ii) spatial structure drastically changes dynamical behavior, especially when all three phenotypes coexist in almost all the parameter spaces when both competition and dispersal occur locally.

We compared the area reportedly protected sites from two different sources, the world database on protected areas (WDPA) - which is the official tool to monitor the Aichi 11 Achievements - and the West African Marine Protected Area Network, which conducted a comprehensive survey in collaboration with the national institutions in charge of MPAs. Overall, the countries included in this study are unlikely to achieve the Aichi target. Comparing WDPA protected area figures against database created directly from national data showed large discrepancies. According to national data, Mauritania (3.71%) and Guinea-Bissau (2.15%) had the highest protected areas. Senegal had 1.61% of his EEZ under protection, while other countries had <1%. The difference between WDPA and national data was high with Guinea-Bissau already at 10% of EEZ protected areas status according to the WDPA. WDPA overestimated 5935 km(2) of MPAs, corresponding to 41% of the actual total area. Possible explanations for the differences include: countries not transmitting information or doing so incorrectly; methodological transformations of data are inducing errors; and multiple MPA statutes leading to double counting of protected areas. This study also shows that for these countries, to achieve Aichi Target 11, large offshore MPAs are the only viable option, and therefore identifies potential sites, that should be considered in addition to conservation of coastal zones. However, their viability may be constrained due to oil activities and lucrative fishing. The increasingly anthropized littoral zone offers less space favourable to MPAs, while 138,723 km(2) still need to be covered in these countries to reach 10% of marine protected area.

However, this important approach has not been adequately introduced and adopted in the world. The present study therefore aimed to calculate Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) for the Shazand Watershed with an area about 1740 km(2) located in central arid and semi-arid region of Iran. The LDN status was basically assessed using three indicators, viz. land use and land cover, soil organic carbon and land productivity using Land Cover/Use Changes (LUC), Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and Net Primary Productivity (NPP) metrics for two sub-periods during 2000 to 2016. Towards this, 140 soil samples were then taken from the top 30-cm of the soil from homogeneous units representing an area >= 1-km(2) for four different main land uses including irrigated farms, rain fed farms, range lands, and orchards. Consequently, SOC and various soil properties such as sand, silt, clay, gravel, bulk density (BD), pH, electrical connectivity (EC), calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and nitrogen (N) were analyzed. NPP metric was also obtained using MODIS satellite images for three periods of 2000-2008, 2008-2016, and 2000-2016. The results of combination of study metrics indicated that net loss occurred in irrigated lands, rain fed lands, and range lands in the first eight-year period (2000-2008) and in contrary a balanced and stable situation in the second eight-year period (2008-2016). Overall, the LDN status in the Shazand Watershed was in a net loss situation during the period from 2000 to 2016 in irrigated lands, rain fed lands, and range lands covered areas of 12,290, 44,170 and 66,630 ha, respectively.

TI Adaptive co-management model for the East Kolkata wetlands: A sustainable solution to manage the rapid ecological transformation of a pert-urban landscape SO SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article ID ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDES; OPEN DUMPSITES; CARBON; SOIL; BENGAL; CITY AB Human-induced land use changes like agriculture and urban development occur commonly at the cost of natural wetlands, which require immediate attention and sustained efforts from urban planners and concerned governments. In view of the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW), India, this paper has examined the trend, causes, extent and impacts of landscape transformation during the last few decades. Hence we aim to present a review of several studies in and around EKW and suggests a sustainable model for EKW. This 'Ramsar site of International Importance' is one of the world's largest wastewater-fed aquaculture systems where the city sewage is recycled for pisciculture and agriculture, and acts as flood resistance for the city of Kolkata. Rapid encroachment in the EKW due to unplanned development has caused various environmental, social and economic impacts. The key ecological impacts found in the study included loss of faunal and floral diversity, eco-toxicological impacts, etc. In terms of biodiversity loss, while the number of bird species in the EKW decreased from 248 in 1960s to 72 in 2005, about 59% fish species are near threats, vulnerable and endangered. Reported persistent organic pollutants (POPs) around the EKW region were found to pose deleterious impact on environment and ambient biota. Several studies have evidenced that the open burning of solid waste in the dumping ground of Dhapa is a potential source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzo dioxin/furans (PCDD/Fs). Further the ecological transformation of the EKW focussing on policy development and regulatory compliance issues has been studied in this paper. The aspects of encroachment and wetland shrinkage triggered by economic drivers like urban sprawl have been analyzed. The paper presents adaptive co-management as the future roadmap for action to curb further degradation of the wetlands, and adopt an integrated approach of environmental, political, physical, economic and institutional aspects. It is envisaged that the adaptive co-management model will contribute to long-term sustainable sustenance of this precious ecosystem. (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier B.V.

They perform multiple functions, being especially recognised for their economic value. However, where planted forests extend beyond the spruce's naturally occurring areas, they are frequently exposed to deleterious environmental factors. In Romania, forest planning is based on typological studies that were carried out between 1950 and 1970, and the regulations arc applied in a somewhat flexible manner. In the context of the potential threats from climate change that could amplify induced destabilising phenomena, the risks to which these forests are becoming exposed can only be mediated through flexible management and the permanent adaptation of forest planning. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to develop a strategy for adapting forest management plan guidelines, with a view to improving ecosystem stability. A Norway spruce forest was chosen from the south-eastern Carpathians, which is included in the Natura 2000 Fagaras Mountains site. The models on which we based our current stand compositions resulted from long-term monitoring and analysis of species and stand structures. Stand structure - and forest structure, in general - is key to the continuous existence of stand functions and ecosystem services. Through design decisions, we promote biodiversity and the natural, better adapted, regeneration of local provenances. We highlight the rationale behind forest management planning and its regulations, with respect to the sustainable management of Norway spruce forests, which are vulnerable to potential changes in their structure as a result of climate change. Based on our findings, we propose the adaptation of measures used in forest management planning for Norway spruce forests to include protective functions that can be applied to all man-made Norway spruce forests introduced in former beech forest regions, and mixed coniferous/beech forests, that are vulnerable to changing environmental factors.

The northwestern Pacific Ocean (NWPO), as one of the world's largest oligotrophic regions, remains largely unexplored regarding diversity and biogeography of microeukaryotes. Here, we investigated the community composition and geographical distribution of microeukaryotes collected from the euphoric zone of three different regions in the NWPO using high-throughput sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene and quantified the contributions of environmental factors on the distributions of microeukaryotes. The relative abundance of different group taxa, except for Ciliophora, presented distinct patterns in each region, and Metazoa and Dinoflagellata dominated the community, contributing approximately half of reads abundance. Spatial and environmental factors explained 66.01% of community variation in the NWPO. Temperature was the most important environmental factor significantly correlated with community structure. Bacterial biomass was also significantly correlated with microeukaryotic distribution, especially for Dinoflagellata and Diatomea. Network analysis showed strong correlations between microeukaryotic groups and free-living bacteria and different bacterial taxa were correlated with specific microeukaryotic groups, indicating that their interactions enabled microeukaryotic groups to adapt to diverse environments. This study provides a first glance at the diversity and geographical distribution of microeukaryotes in the NWPO and sheds light on the biotic and abiotic factors in shaping the microeukaryotic community in the ocean.

It provides drinking water for Beijing, Shijiazhuang, and other cities under extremely strict water quality requirements. In the recent decades, water pollution accidents have frequently occurred in water transfer projects. Scientific and effective risk assessment is needed to assess the impact on the overall emergency management, which should be considered to incorporate social, economic, and environmental issues in the timely response to and management of emergencies. In this study, we combine the Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response model, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, and coordinated development degree model into a comprehensive risk assessment tool. This new approach was tested on an emergency drilling simulation related to a sudden MRP water pollution accident in 2016. Based on the combined integration weight ranking, "water delivery status," "pollution accident characteristics," "town size," and "public satisfaction" play prominent roles in the risk assessment. Especially, "town size" is identified as the most important influent factor. The Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response model index system and comprehensive risk assessment method can be used to evaluate accidents more scientifically and versatile, which helps managers or experts to make faster and more efficient decisions.

The exceptional biodiversity encountered in Amazonia, alongside a rich entomofauna and frequent interactions with various herbivores is the crucible of a promising chemodiversity. This prompted us to search for novel botanical insecticides in French Guiana. As this French overseas department faces severe issues linked to insects, notably the strong incidence of vector-borne infectious diseases, we decided to focus our research on products able to control the mosquito Aedes aegypti. We tested 452 extracts obtained from 85 species originating from 36 botanical families and collected in contrasted environments against an Ae. aegypti laboratory strain susceptible to all insecticides, and a natural population resistant to both pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides collected in Cayenne for the most active of them. Eight species (Maytenus oblongata Reissek, Celastraceae; Costus erythrothyrsus Loes., Costaceae; Humiria balsamifera Aubl., Humiriaceae; Sextonia rubra (Mez) van der Werff, Lauraceae; Piper hispidum Sw., Piperaceae; Laetia procera (Poepp.) Eichl., Salicaceae; Matayba arborescens (Aubl.) Radlk., Sapindaceae; and Cupania scrobitulata Rich., Sapindaceae) led to extracts exhibiting more than 50% larval mortality after 48 h of exposition at 100 mu g/mL against the natural population and were considered active. Selectivity and phytochemistry of these extracts were therefore investigated and discussed, and some active compounds highlighted. Multivariate analysis highlighted that solvents, plant tissues, plant family and location had a significant effect on mortality while light, available resources and vegetation type did not. Through this case study we highlighted that plant defensive chemistry mechanisms are crucial while searching for novel insecticidal products.

Soil extraction, one of the methods employed to access this fauna, employs the removal of monoliths. One of the most widely used methods for the extraction of soil sampling is called TSBF (developed by the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Programme). This method provides relevant data about the species associated with the soil. In the present study we characterized assemblages of subterranean ants using the TSBF method in different subtropical areas of the Neotropics. We considered two sampling designs in different localities. The first design resulted in 315 TSBF samples obtained from layers at distinct depths. The second design resulted in 270 TSBF samples and 270 epigaeic pitfall trap samples. This material was used to delimit the species that occur exclusively in the subterranean stratum (TSBF) and that are not found on the soil surface. A total of 281 species were recorded. Of these, 57 can be considered subterranean, based on their occurrence in subterranean strata. We also verified that the highest occurrence of ants was in the first 10 cm of soil depth. Due to the importance of using methods that efficiently extract the subterranean ant fauna in studies, we suggest the TSBF method should be used to sample ants or to associate this method with epigaeic pitfall traps to delimit strictly subterranean assemblages in specific community stratification studies.

And many host genetic determinants of ADRs have been identified. However, the possible relationship between long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and ADRs is little investigated in tuberculosis (TB). We conducted a prospective survey and comprehensively collected the information of diverse ADRs during antituberculosis therapy. Next, we analyzed whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within lncRNA AC079767.4 gene are associated with ADRs development of patients with TB. Our results showed that the overall occurrence rate of ADRs due to TB treatment was 16.39% (70/427), of which the anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) constituted the most common adverse events with prevalence rate of 12.88% (55/427). Notably, TB patients carrying T allele-containing genotypes in rs1055229 locus potentially presented a greater risk (1.85-fold, 95%CI = 1.04-3.28) for developing ATDH when compared with those CC genotype carriers, 17.28% versus. 10.19%, respectively, with the age-and gender-adjusted p-value of 0.035. Our data suggest that the ADRs exhibit serious morbidity in TB patients in West China, and for the first time we show that the AC079767.4 rs1055229 is a potential genetic risk component for ATDH development. Further studies on larger population and other ethnic groups are needed to confirm our results. (C) 2019 Japanese Society of Chemotherapy and The Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases.

TI Structural simplification compromises the potential of common insectivorous bats to provide biocontrol services against the major olive pest Prays oleae SO AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Biocontrol services; Foraging; Landscape structure; Olive groves; Insect pests ID SEASONAL ACTIVITY PATTERNS; HABITAT; INTENSIFICATION; AGROECOSYSTEMS; BIODIVERSITY AB Crop production intensification often leads to the structural simplification of production systems. This structural simplification is expected to have strong impacts on biodiversity and the provisioning of ecosystem services, but information about this topic is scarce. For instance, no information exists for Mediterranean olive (Olea europaea) groves, despite olive farming representing a significant share of the agricultural sector in some European countries. We investigated the impact of in-farm and landscape-level structural simplification on the potential of three common insectivorous bats (i.e., Pipistrellus kuhlii, P. pygmaeus and P. pipistrellus) to provide biocontrol services against one of the most harmful olive pests worldwide, the olive fruit moth Prays oleae. Bats and insect surveys were both carried out in olive groves representing increasing levels of structural simplification and during three sampling seasons (spring, summer and autumn). At grove-level, structural simplification was considered as resulting from reduced planting pattern variability (i.e., tree and row spacing) and tree features (diameter at breast height, height of the trunk and canopy area), while at landscape level was considered as resulting from reduced land-cover types. We found that the Kuhl's pipistrelle was the most frequently recorded species in all types of olive groves and seasons. Moreover, the activity levels of pipistrelle bats as a whole significantly decreased with the structural simplification of olive groves. The abundance of P. oleae was highest at intermediate levels of structural simplification, irrespective of the season. Forest cover in the surrounding landscape had a significant positive influence on the activity levels of P. kuhlii, and a significant and negative influence on the abundance of P. oleae. Our study demonstrates that structural simplification differentially influences the activity patterns of both insectivorous bats and insect pests within olive groves. Moreover, it suggests that structural simplification may strongly compromise biocontrol services provided by bats on the major olive pest P. oleae.

TI Enhancing sustainability of grassland ecosystems through ecological restoration and grazing management in an era of climate change on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau SO AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau; Grassland ecosystems; Grassland degradation; Climate change; Sustainable grazing ID PLANT COMMUNITY COMPOSITION; SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITY; DEGRADED ALPINE MEADOWS; PIKA OCHOTONA-CURZONIAE; NITROGEN ADDITION; SHORT-TERM; N2O FLUXES; TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY; VEGETATION DISTRIBUTION; PHENOLOGICAL SEQUENCES AB The grassland ecosystems cover above 60% of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and provide important ecosystem services and functions at local and regional scales. However, both anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic disturbances are challenging the sustainability of the QTP's grassland ecosystems in the era of global change. In this review paper, we summarized the causes and effects of grassland degradation, restoration practices used on degraded grasslands, impacts of climate change and nitrogen deposition on plants and soils, adaptation strategies to climate changes, impacts of livestock grazing on plants and soils, and sustainable grazing management on the QTP. We believed that the integration of internal drivers of ecosystem fragility with external disturbances such as overgrazing are the major causes of grassland degradations on the QTP. The quantitative evaluation systems for grassland ecosystem health including plant, soil and livestock indicators are theoretically feasible and technically reliable. The major impacts of grassland degradation on the QTP are loss of biodiversity, increased water erosion, reduced carbon sequestration, decrease pastoral productivity and reduced local human well-being. The current restoration practices are mostly revegetation of "Bare Land" severely degraded grasslands using cultivated grasses. Other restoration practices such as grazing fallow and grassland fencing can be applied to restore the lightly or moderately degraded grasslands. We believed that the side effects from soil drying on plant productivity and diversity in manipulative warming experiments could be the main cause of controversial findings about the effects of climate change on plant productivity, diversity, phenology, soil physics, biochemistry and organisms. Many scholars argued the advances and delays in greening-up date, lengthening and shortening of the growth period in the phenological responses of alpine grassland plants to a warming climate. Multiple sources of remote sensing data and diverse interpretive approaches should be applied and ground-based observations and surveys should be performed to improve the accuracy and reliability of model predictions on plant phenology. Inconsistent conclusions of climate change impacts on soil biochemistry and organisms except soil acidification and eutrophication have been widely observed in most manipulated studies of nitrogen deposition. Adaptive strategies should be employed to promote grassland system's sustainability of the QTP. Rotational grazing regime with moderate grazing intensity in the warm season may retain or promote plant height, cover, productivity and biodiversity, improve soil structure, fertility and microbial biomass, enhance carbon and nitrogen storage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the alpine grassland ecosystems.

We aimed to determine the effects of management system (organic vs. conventional), local habitat conditions and the surrounding landscape on ground-dwelling spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in vineyards. We studied spider species richness, abundance and community composition in fifteen pairs of conventional and organic vineyards along a gradient of landscape composition in Germany. In spite of positive effects of organic management on the inter-row vegetation and soil organic matter, this management system only moderately enhanced species richness of spiders compared to conventional vineyards and did not have the strong positive effects on spider densities known from other cropping systems. Instead, due to high densities of the dominant species Pardosa agrestis, spider abundance was highest in landscapes with high vineyard cover. Densities of spiders other than P. agrestis increased with proximity to semi-natural habitats (SNH). Spider community composition was shaped by management system and cover of SNH. Our results suggest that organic vineyards still promote spiders relative to conventional vineyards, but less strongly than in other cropping systems. In addition, semi-natural habitats enhance the spider fauna in viticultural landscapes and may thus facilitate natural pest control.

TI Effects of expanding functional trait diversity on productivity and stability in cultivar mixtures of perennial ryegrass SO AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Agroecosystem; Diversity; Ecosystem services; Ecological intensification; Forage; Unctional traits ID BIODIVERSITY; CLIMATE; WHEAT; METAANALYSIS; SERVICES AB Cultivar mixtures can provide a host of beneficial agroecosystem services in annual grain crops; however, it remains unclear whether these same benefits apply to perennial forage cropping systems, or the degree to which beneficial effects depend on the functional trait diversity of the mixtures. We conducted a field experiment across four locations in the Northeast US in which we grew perennial ryegrass cultivar mixtures varying in cultivar number and range of expression of three functional traits (winter hardiness, heading date, and extended growth) and assessed the effects on dry matter yield and inter-annual yield variability. Trait ratings supplied by the seed company were related to observed variation in perennial ryegrass productivity and/or stability at both the individual cultivar and mixture levels. Winter hardiness was associated with greater perennial ryegrass cumulative biomass, and lower interannual stability. In contrast, extended growth was associated with lower cumulative biomass, and both extended growth and later heading date were associated with greater interannual variability. Overall, cultivar richness was negatively associated with perennial ryegrass biomass and stability; however, the best performing mixtures performed as well as the recommended cultivar for the region. When comparing mixtures with equal cultivar richness, functional trait diversity measured as the additive trait range-the summed range of the three traits associated with the cultivars in that mixture-was positively associated with biomass production and over-yielding, but not interannual variability. Cultivar mixtures of perennial ryegrass can lead to improved forage production when specific functional traits are optimized within mixtures. Our results support the growing understanding that efforts to ecologically intensify agriculture through enhancement of crop diversity are more likely to succeed when they explicitly consider the functional traits of the crops involved rather than solely numbers of cultivars or species.

TI Predator richness predicts pest suppression within organic and conventional summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L. Cucurbitales: Cucurbitaceae) SO AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT LA English DT Article DE Organic; Biological control; Biodiversity-ecosystem function; Gut content analysis; Afcalymma vittatum primer; Habitat management ID GUT-CONTENT-ANALYSIS; CONSERVATION BIOLOGICAL-CONTROL; CUCUMBER BEETLES COLEOPTERA; MOLECULAR ANALYSIS; NATURAL ENEMIES; INTRAGUILD PREDATION; ALTERNATIVE PREY; ARTHROPOD COMMUNITIES; HABITAT MANIPULATION; GENERALIST PREDATOR AB The biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) hypothesis predicts that increased richness within a trophic level supports greater resource capture. However, higher predator richness commonly found within organic compared to conventional agroecosystems does not always result in enhanced pest suppression. The striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), causes damage via direct feeding and pathogen transmission to crops in the family Cucurbitaceae. The aims of this study were to: 1) identify the predators that contribute to A. vittatum suppression using molecular gut content analysis, 2) determine if the richness of predators testing positive for A. vittatum DNA was negatively correlated with prey abundance, and 3) examine how organic versus conventional cucurbit production influenced these relationships. Using a species-specific primer for A. vittatum, we found that a diverse community of predators feed on this pest, including Carabidae, Coccinellidae, Formicidae, Henicopidae, Opiliones, Lycosidae, and Staphylinidae. The richness of predators testing positive for A. vittatum DNA within a cucurbit field was negatively correlated with pest abundance, supporting the BEF hypothesis. We found no effect of farm management on the proportion or richness of predators testing positive for pest DNA, despite a 43.4% greater pitfall trap catch of predatory taxa within organic fields. This illustrates that using traps to measure predator richness and abundance may not accurately predict the strength of biological control service provided by a guild of natural enemies. Application of molecular gut content analysis proves a useful tool in advancing both the theory and practice of conservation biological control.

Recent laboratory and semi-field assessments of pesticide impacts on bees have focused on neonicotinoid insecticides. However, field studies evaluating influences of neonicotinoid seed treatments on native bee communities of North America are absent from the literature. On four Conservation Areas of Missouri, we sampled row-cropped (treated, n = 15) and reference (untreated, n = 9) agricultural fields, and their surrounding field margins for neonicotinoids in soil and non-target vegetation (i.e., native wildflowers). Wildflowers were further collected and screened for the presence of fungicides. Concurrently, we sampled native bees over three discrete time points throughout the agricultural growing season to assess potential impacts of seed treatment use on local bee populations over time. Neonicotinoids were detected in 87% to 100% of treated field soils and 22% to 56% of reference field soils. In adjacent field margin soils, quantifiable concentrations were measured near treated (53% to 93% detection) and untreated fields (33% to 56% detection). Fungicides were detected in < 40% of wildflowers, whereas neonicotinoids were rarely detected in field margin vegetation (< 7%). Neonicotinoid concentrations in margin soils were negatively associated with native bee richness (beta = -0.21, P < 0.05). Field margins with a combination of greater neonicotinoid concentrations in soil and fungicides in wildflowers also contained fewer wild bee species (beta = -0.21, P < 0.001). By comparison, bee abundance was positively influenced by the number of wildflower species in bloom with no apparent impact of pesticides. Results of this study indicate that neonicotinoids in soil are a potential route of exposure for pollinator communities, specifically ground-nesting species. Importantly, native bee richness in non-target field margins may be negatively affected by the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments in agroecosystems.

In this sense, not only species richness per se, but also community composition, including the distribution range of the species, should be considered. The latter is especially relevant in the current context of biotic homogenization, where the presence of geographically widely distributed species is increasingly frequent in detriment of native species. By studying plant species of the herbaceous stratum of cacao production systems, we can evaluate, at a narrow local scale (> 10 ha), the potential role of agroforestry systems and management intensity in diversity conservation and against biotic homogenization. This study was performed in an experimental trial in Bolivia, where five production systems representing a gradient of management intensity were compared: two monocultures and two agroforestry systems under conventional and organic farming containing a planted cover crop layer, and a complex successional agroforestry system with no external inputs. All species in the herbaceous stratum were identified and classified according to their geographical range. An indicator species analysis was implemented to identify species linked to a specific production system. In total, 171 species were recorded, 42% of which were strictly herbaceous while the rest of them were woody regrowths, mainly found in the successional agroforestry system (an average of 40 species compared to 16 species in the other systems). Total species richness was higher in the successional agroforestry system compared with the other production systems. No main differences were found between the other systems, that is, monocultures and conventionally managed systems did not have less species than agroforestry and organically managed systems. However, community composition did change following the management intensity gradient. In addition, we found that widely distributed species, including some exotic species, were associated to intensive management, i.e. monocultures and conventional systems with high solar exposure levels and/or glyphosate application. Conversely, successional agroforestry and organic systems harbored species with a geographical distribution range restricted to the Neotropics or South America. According to our results, promotion and support for the adoption of cocoa organic and agroforestry systems, as a counterbalance to the common intensively managed plantations, could contribute to both biodiversity conservation and the minimization of biotic homogenization.

Increasing implementation of biological approaches, including biological control, biopesticides, biostimulants and pheromones is a mutual high priority for sustainable agriculture leaders and practitioners, including those working in organic agriculture and Integrated Pest Management (IPM). While market and regulatory forces, and pest resistance to conventional pesticides are contributing to growth in implementation of biological approaches, they remain a very small percentage of the overall global crop protection portfolio. Barriers to greater adoption include many of the same barriers to adopting IPM techniques or transitioning to organic. Improved awareness and understanding of the histories and benefits of organic and IPM, goals and priorities shared by organic and IPM proponents and practitioners, and opportunities for accelerating adoption of biological approaches have potential to improve our combined effectiveness in overcoming these barriers. Strategies to speed adoption include increased education and extension on proven, ready-to-use biological control options; full cost and benefit accounting for biologically-based alternatives to chemical controls; and public and private sector policies to encourage biological control and reduce reliance on chemical controls. Both the organic and IPM communities of practice stand to gain from collaboration on common interests and goals. C1 [Baker, Brian P.] Oregon State Univ, Crop & Soil Sci Dept, Corvallis, OR 97331 USA.

While employed as a professor at Escola Superior de Agricultura de Mossoro, currently the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Arido, Prof. Lima-Verde established a herpetological collection which remained forgotten for a number of decades. In the present study, we describe the revitalization of this collection, which included the updating of the identification of the species and the compilation of the metadata on the collection, which is now named the Colecao Herpetologica Lima-Verde. We catalogued 80 specimens representing 30 species, including 23 species of snakes, five lizards, and two amphisbaenians. One third (30%) of the specimens had information on dates and sites, with the majority of these specimens being collected in the Brazilian State of Rio Grande do Norte during the 1970's. We also catalogued 315 eggs of seven snake species, from 22 clutches laid in captivity. The collection presents unpublished data and will constitute a reference for future herpetological research on the species found in western region of State of Rio Grande do Norte. Our findings reinforce the importance of zoological collections for the understanding of patterns of biodiversity, and we would recommend the creation of more regional scientific collections and the broader recognition of their value as a basic source of biological data.

TI Scratching the surface of subterranean biodiversity: Molecular analysis reveals a diverse and previously unknown fauna of Parabathynellidae (Crustacea: Bathynellacea) from the Pilbara, Western Australia SO MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION LA English DT Article DE Subterranean fauna; Species delineation; Endemism ID SHORT-RANGE ENDEMISM; GROUNDWATER FAUNA; SYNCARIDA BATHYNELLACEA; SPECIES DELIMITATION; CALCRETE AQUIFER; GENUS; DNA; STYGOFAUNA; QUEENSLAND; PHYLOGENY AB Like other crustacean families, the Parabathynellidae is a poorly studied subterranean and aquatic (stygobiontic) group in Australia, with many regions of available habitat having not yet been surveyed. Here we used a combined approach of molecular species delimitation methods, applied to mitochondrial and nuclear genetic data, to identify putative new species from material obtained from remote subterranean habitats in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Based on collections from these new localities, we delineated a minimum of eight and up to 24 putative new species using a consensus from a range of molecular delineation methods and additional evidence. When we placed our new putative species into the broader phylogenetic framework of Australian Parabathynellidae, they grouped with two known genera and also within one new and distinct Pilbara-only clade. These new species significantly expand the known diversity of Parabathynellidae in that they represent a 22% increase to the 109 currently recognised species globally. Our investigations showed that sampling at new localities can yield extraordinary levels of new species diversity, with the majority of species showing likely restricted endemic geographical ranges. These findings represent only a small sample from a region comprising less than 2.5% of the Australian continent. C1 [Matthews, Emma F.; Cooper, Steven J.

Therefore, understanding the food culture in the population is important to inform culturally relevant and acceptable public health interventions. Objective: (1) To evaluate attitudes towards pleasure and health with regard to eating and its association with healthy eating intentions. (2) To assess traditional beliefs about 'hot-cold balance' and its influence on food choice. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using an online research panel comprising of 787 male and female adults of Chinese, Malay and Indian ethnicity recruited from population-based cohorts and public housing estates in Singapore. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess beliefs and attitudes towards food. To evaluate the association of beliefs and attitudes with socio-demographic determinants and potential consequences for healthy eating intentions, multivariable logistic regression was used with adjustment for age, gender and ethnicity. Results: Beliefs about the importance of considering hot-cold balance for food choice were common among all three Asian ethnic groups and most prominent among the Chinese ethnic group (56.3% Malay, 64.5% Indian and 72.4% Chinese). The majority of participants (73.8%) often consider the effects of diet on health, but also value eating pleasure greatly (84.9%). Older age was associated with a shift in attitudes from valuing eating pleasure towards health. Valuing the importance of food for health was associated with a wide range of healthy eating intentions, whereas highly valuing eating pleasure was associated with a lower intention to reduce salt intake. Conclusion: In a cosmopolitan Asian population, both eating for health and eating for pleasure were valued highly and traditional beliefs regarding the hot-cold balance were held by the majority.

The environments develop especial hydrochemical and ecological characteristics, such as high concentrations of acidity and low biodiversity, with dominance of acidophilic organisms. Ecological criteria are assuming increasing relevance for assessing water quality, including in acid mine drainage-affected systems. Photosynthetic pigments, like chlorophyll, could be considered in this context as they are generally used to estimate phytoplankton biomass. The present work was focused on acid mine drainage and their relationships with chlorophyll a. It was developed in the historic mine of Sao Domingos (Iberian Pyrite Belt, SW Europe). The methodological approach comprised two sampling campaigns (October and February) to represent seasonal behaviour. The diversity of hydrological conditions was also considered through sampling sites established in the pit lake, acidic lagoons and affected stream. Hydrochemistry and chlorophyll a were analysed. The obtained results revealed very low pH values, with a minimum of 2.1. In general, hydrochemistry indicates higher concentrations of pollutants in summer. One of the sampling point, located in an acidic lagoon, stood out by highest concentrations, presenting maximum of sulfate (6564 mg/L), As (6.26 mg/L), and metals like Al (675 mg/L), Cd (1,30 mg/L), Zn (199 mg/L). These highest concentrations coincided with the maximum concentration of chlorophyll a (113 mu g/L). The results suggested that the more contaminated the environment, more chlorophyll a was produced. Factor analyses emphasised the relationships between acid drainage properties and the photosynthetic activity, indicating a strong pH dependency of chlorophyll a production. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

The keratinophilic fungal Order, Onygenales, was the most abundant Order observed in the total fungal population. Fungal communities observed during the dry and flowering seasons differed significantly. The Orders Ascosphaerales and Chaetothyriales were the major contributors to the observed seasonality of fungal communities. No isolates belonging to these Orders were obtained in the culture-dependent experiments, while isolates belonging to the Orders Hypocreales and Eurotiales were abundant in culture. Seasonal differences were most pronounced for the Order Ascosphaerales, which contributed less than 0.1% to the total population during the dry season, but more than 20% to the flowering season population. This study provides the first next generation sequencing analysis of the remarkable soil-associated fungal richness and diversity in the Succulent Karoo, the most biodiverse arid ecoregion in the world.

Here, we evaluate 15 species of native trees for restoring degraded areas in the Brazilian semi-arid region on the basis of the suitability of their functional traits to ecosystem multifunctionality. To do so, we performed a short-term greenhouse experiment using saplings to estimate the importance of above- and below-ground traits in modulating soil and water quality. Above-ground traits yielded stronger effects on soil and water quality than below-ground traits. Above-ground biomass held the strongest positive effect on ecosystem multifunctionality, being the most beneficial attribute for the soil functions assessed. Thus, plants holding high biomass production should be preferentially selected for restoration in semi-arid regions.

Experimental factors studied were refrigerator load, door openings, compressor operating in variable (VS) or ON/OFF single speed (SS) mode, room temperature (T-chamber = 32.2/21.1 degrees C), and milk exposure toT(chamber) (replicating product use). The 32.2 degrees C/high load condition yielded deterministic 48 h exponential growth estimates (Delta logN(48h), log(10) N CFU/mL) of 1.6 +/- 0.1/1.5 +/- 0.1 for Lm and 5.0 +/- 0.3/4.7 +/- 0.3 for Pp (replicate1/replicate-2, VS, milk kept in refrigerator). The corresponding 5-95% probabilistic Delta logN(48h) intervals were 1.0-2.3 and 3.4-6.6, respectively. Considering new technologies seeking to lower the temperature of products stored in door shelves, the analysis was repeated using simulated data obtained by lowering experimental temperatures by T-red (degrees C), a value determined for each test condition and keeping milk above 2 degrees C with 90% certainty. For the same previous conditions, deterministic Delta logN(48h) estimates for temperatures lowered by T-red= 4.5-4.8 degrees C, yielded Delta logN(48h) of 0.06 +/- 0.0 for Lm and 2.6 +/- 0.1 for Pp. These results highlight the importance of improving the temperature control of residential refrigerator door shelves.

SO ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING LA English DT Article ID 2 ARTIFICIAL REEFS; ECOSYSTEM SERVICES; HABITAT USE; BAY; RESTORATION; RECOMMENDATIONS; STABILIZATION; COLONIZATION; MACROBENTHOS; ENHANCEMENT AB Oyster breakwater reefs used for coastal protection have shown to enhance local biodiversity. Particularly, macro-invertebrate and fish assemblages can benefit directly from reefs providing structurally complex habitats and indirectly through alteration of soft-sediment environment near the reef areas. To test this hypothesis, a manipulative field experiment was carried out on an eroding intertidal flat in the southeastern coast of Bangladesh by deploying replicate units of each 20 m long oyster breakwater reefs specially designed to protect adjacent shorelines. Transient fishes and resident intertidal macro-invertebrate communities were assessed monthly for a period of 18 months. On the intertidal flat, five transects were setup for faunal and environmental data collection, three crossing the breakwater reefs and two along the control areas without reefs. Prior to the deployment of the reefs, both the macro-invertebrate and fish assemblage were not significantly different among the five transects, indicating a rather uniform distribution of species in all tidal flats. Data collected post-reef deployment revealed that oyster breakwater reefs supported a greater biomass as well as abundance of benthic macro-invertebrates on the landward mudflat behind the reefs than the mudflat of control sites. The community structure, and seasonal variation of the macrobenthic community were associated with the variations in the sediment accumulation, as influenced by the breakwater reefs. Additionally, higher abundance of transient finfish and mobile macro-invertebrates at the reef sites suggest that the faunal communities were attracted by the higher abundance of prey resources (i.e. polychaetes, small crustaceans, juvenile gastropods and bivalves) as supported by the reefs. Thus, the reef areas served as shelter, nursery, and foraging grounds for different species. Though the ecological benefits of using oyster breakwater reefs only span adjacent to the reefs, this study confirms the importance of reef structure in facilitating local coastal biodiversity in a subtropical region.

Green infrastructure has gained increasing attention as one of the strategies for adaptation to mega-floods because it can concurrently enhance regional biodiversity and ecosystem services. Previous studies have assessed the efficacy of flood-control infrastructure in protecting biodiversity in urban areas. However, whether such infrastructure enhances biodiversity in other environments remains largely unknown. In this study, we assessed the function of flood-control basins constructed for flood risk management as summer habitat for wetland species in agricultural landscapes. We compared the species assemblages of four different taxa (fishes, aquatic insects, birds, and plants) among four water body types (flood-control basins, channelized watercourses, drainage pumping stations, and remnant ponds). We found that the flood-control basins had comparable or higher species richness and abundance of most taxa than the other water body types. We also found that the species compositions in the flood-control basins were characterized by pioneer species, which prefer shallow water or can adapt to fluctuations in water levels (e.g., herbivorous insects, shorebirds, and hygrophytes). These findings suggest that flood-control basins can provide summer habitat for wetland species, especially for species that inhabit environments with hydrological variation, and utilizing flood-control basins as green infrastructure is a reasonable option for conserving regional biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.

To identify shifts in catches and economic returns due to river impoundment, we inspected daily landing data (25-year time series) and wholesale prices (19-year time series) for the Madeira River, the largest tributary of the Amazon River. Our results show that the period of decreasing catches and increasing prices observed for fisheries in the Madeira River matched the timings of the construction of the two dams. According to the results, both dams quickly changed catches and fish supply to market, which were immediately echoed in the price per kg of exploited fish species. Following the dam construction, prices rose for both fish that became scarce and fish that became abundant. Though catches declined 58% in 25 years, the price increased 49% over the same period, representing a high economic cost for the local population. Further, there was a clear decline in the catches of some species (e.g., the dourada and the curimata), but increased catches of others (e.g., the sardine and the tucunare). Moreover, some fluctuation patterns across years showed natural oscillations, or changes, in local habitats and even fishing efforts.

The species can also be used in reforestation programs, which generate jobs and as a source of income and reduce the pressure of exploitation on natural rosewood populations. The objective of this study was to verify the influence of rosewood stands on physical and chemical soil attributes. This study was conducted at a rural farm in the Males municipality, 350 km from Manaus, Amazonas State, Brazil. Samples were collected in five areas; 4-, 10- and 20-year-old rosewood stands, and 15- and 60-year-old secondary forests. The latter two served as control treatments, reflecting natural spontaneous succession conditions over time. Soil was sampled at 10 equidistant points within each area to measure physicochemical attributes, and at the center of each one, a soil profile was dug for description and classification of morphological characteristics. Based on the profile description, the soils were classified as Xanthic Hapludox. The results show that soil conditions under 20-year-old rosewood stand resembled those beneath the 60-year-old secondary forest, and likewise for the soil under the 10-year-old rosewood stand and the 15-year-old secondary forest. The soil bulk density ranged from 0.81 to 0.99 g cm(-3) among all areas and no significant difference was found (P = 0.052). With exception to 4-year-old stand, the organic matter (2.68-5.87%) and carbon stock (18.57-31.71 Mg ha(-1)) did not differ significantly between stands and control treatments. For the soil macronutrients, nitrogen (0.10-0.22%), phosphorus (1.17-11.70 mg kg(-1)), calcium (0.03-0.31 mg kg(-1)) and magnesium (0.02-0.16 mg kg(-1)) were higher or equal in the rosewood stands in comparison to the two controls, while the potassium values (0.03-0.36 mg kg(-1)) were significantly higher in 60-year-old secondary forests only compared to the 10-year-old rosewood stands (P = 0.005). The soil beneath the 4-year-old rosewood stand, however, differed from the other four areas, having significantly higher natural clay content ( > 600 g kg(-1)) and higher topsoil chemical concentrations, associated with the more recent burning. This result represents the first step in addressing concern about sustainable soil use in rosewood forestry economics. Consequently, this kind of rosewood plantation can be recommended as an appropriate use of historically exploited areas, providing economic return from local biodiversity.

In this work, we investigated biodiversity, abundance, and potential methane (CH4) oxidation activity of nitrite-DAMO bacteria and nitrate-DAMO archaea in intertidal marsh soil cores, based on molecular and stable isotope tracing methods. Results evidenced the co-occurrence and vertical stratification of DAMO bacteria and archaea in intertidal marsh soils, with higher biodiversity of DAMO archaea compared with DAMO bacteria. The abundance of DAMO bacterial pmoA gene (8.2 x 10(5)-3.0 x 10(7) copies g dry soil) was approximate to that of DAMO archaeal mcrA gene (3.0 x 10(5)-3.9 x 10 7 copies g(-1) dry soil) in the intertidal marsh soil cores. Stable isotope experiments showed that DAMO bacteria and archaea were both active in the intertidal marshes, with CH4 oxidation potential of 0.1-3.8 nmol (CO2)-C-13 g(-1) dry soil day(-1) and 0.1-4.1 nmol (CO2)-C-13 g(-1) dry soil day(-1), respectively. The relative importance (including the abundance and CH4 oxidation activity) of DAMO bacteria and archaea showed significant vertical variations, with more contribution by DAMO bacteria at the soil-tidal water interface and soil-groundwater interface layers of the soil cores, which are largely due to the influence of tidal dynamics. In addition to playing an important role as CH4 sink, DAMO process was also a non-negligible pathway of nitrogen removal in intertidal marsh soils, with an estimated nitrogen removal rate of 0.4-10.1 nmol N g(-1) dry soil day(-1). Overall, these results illustrated the occurrence and environmental significance of DAMO bioprocess in intertidal marshes.

The first is the natural-urban boundary and the second is a socio-economic gradient informed by historical race-based apartheid planning. Plant species and cover were recorded in 156 plots sampled from conservation areas, private gardens, and public open green space. The socio-economic gradient transitioned from wealthier, predominantly white neighbourhoods to poorer, predominantly black neighbourhoods. The socio-economic gradient was selected to fall within one original vegetation type to ensure a consistent biophysical template. There is a marked shift between the natural and urban plant communities in the City of Cape Town, with little structural affinity. Urban landscapes are dominated by grass, with low diversity compared to natural counterparts. A significant ecological gradient of reduced biodiversity, traits, and in turn functionality, was found across the socio-economic gradient. Wealthier communities benefit from more private green space, more public green space, and a greater plant diversity. Poorer communities have limited green space on all fronts, and lower plant and trait diversity. Plant communities with limited diversity are less resilient and if exposed to environmental perturbation would lose species, and associated ecosystem services faster than a species rich community. These species-poor plant communities mirror historical apartheid planning that is resistant to change. Based on how biodiversity, functionality, and associated ecosystem services and ecosystem stability are linked, the results of this study suggests how significant environmental injustice persists in the City of Cape Town.

TI Understanding the role of plantations in the abundance of an arboreal folivore SO LANDSCAPE AND URBAN PLANNING LA English DT Article ID HABITAT USE; POPULATION ECOLOGY; KOALAS; EUCALYPTUS; CONSERVATION; PREFERENCES; DENSITY; FORESTS; ISLAND; BIODIVERSITY AB Forest cover is decreasing globally, chiefly due to the conversion of forest to agricultural landscapes. In contrast, the area under plantation forestry is increasing by up to 3 million hectares per annum. For wildlife occupying landscapes where native forest is the dominant land cover, plantations generally represent a lower value habitat; however, plantations established on land formerly used for pasture, may benefit wildlife by providing temporary forest habitat and increasing connectivity. This study investigates the influence of landscape, site and climatic factors on koala population density in far south-west Victoria where there has been extensive plantation establishment. We conducted koala surveys and habitat characteristic assessments at 72 sites across three habitat types: plantation, native vegetation blocks, and native vegetation strips. We employed a hierarchical modelling framework for estimating abundance, and constructed candidate multinomial N-mixture models to identify factors influencing the abundance of koalas. We detected higher mean koala density in plantation sites (0.85 per ha) than in either native block (0.68 per ha) or native strip sites (0.66 per ha). We found five covariates of koala density, and using these variables we spatially modelled koala abundance and discuss factors that are key in determining large-scale distribution and density of koala populations. We provide a distribution map that can be used to identify high priority areas for population management as well as habitat of high conservation significance for koalas. This information facilitates the linkage of ecological theory with the on-ground implementation of management actions, and may guide conservation planning and resource management actions to consider overall landscape configuration as well as the spatial arrangement of plantations adjacent to remnant forest.

Recent policies have acknowledged the value of urban green areas in counterbalancing such impacts. However, these policies are largely focused on public green areas, ignoring the role and potential of private green areas for urban ecological value. This paper aims at evaluating the importance of private gardens for habitat availability and connectivity in Paris, France, using the common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) as model species. We hypothesize that public green areas contribute more to habitat availability than private gardens because of their large area, and that private gardens contribute more to connectivity than public green areas because of their scattered locations in the city. Using data on common pipistrelle activity and information on vegetation and building height, we quantify the respective contribution of public green areas and private gardens in the bat habitat availability and connectivity. Our results show that despite the low proportion of private green areas in Paris (36% of the total green areas), they still contributed up to 47.9% of bat habitat availability and decrease the resistance of the city matrix by 57%. The distribution in the city matrix and vegetation composition of those areas appeared especially beneficial for bat habitat availability and connectivity. The study demonstrates the importance of private gardens in the ecological value of cities in complementing public green areas. Our results confirm the need to develop more inclusive urban conservation strategies that include both public and private stakeholders.

Pursuing agricultural development for smallholder farmers in marginal areas of Ghana SO WORLD DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article DE Crop diversity; Production diversification; Agricultural development; Ghana ID DIETARY DIVERSITY; FOOD SECURITY; CROP DIVERSIFICATION; MISSING MARKETS; CLIMATE-CHANGE; BIODIVERSITY; INTENSIFICATION; MANAGEMENT; NUTRITION; SYSTEMS AB Many smallholder farmers in developing countries grow multiple crop species on their farms, maintaining de facto crop diversity. Rarely do agricultural development strategies consider this crop diversity as an entry point for fostering agricultural innovation. This paper presents a case study, from an agricultural research-for-development project in northern Ghana, which examines the relationship between crop diversity and self-consumption of food crops, and cash income from crops sold by smallholder farmers in the target areas. By testing the presence and direction of these relationships, it is possible to assess whether smallholder farmers may benefit more from a diversification or a specialization agricultural development strategy for improving their livelihoods. Based on a household survey of 637 randomly selected households, we calculated crop diversity as well as its contribution to self-consumption (measured as imputed monetary value) and to cash income for each household. With these data we estimated a system of three simultaneous equations. Results show that households maintained high levels of crop diversity: up to eight crops grown, with an-average of 3.2 per household, and with less than 5% having a null or very low level of crop diversity. The value of crop species used for self-consumption was on average 55% higher than that of crop sales. Regression results show that crop diversity is positively associated with self-consumption of food crops, and cash income from crops sold. This finding suggests that increasing crop diversity opens market opportunities for households, while still contributing to self-consumption. Given these findings, crop diversification seems to be more beneficial to these farmers than specialization. For these diversified farmers, or others in similar contexts, interventions that assess and build on their de facto crop diversity are probably more likely to be successful. (C) 2019 The Authors.

We identify five key strategies for reducing poverty in forest landscapes: a) improvements in productivity (P) of forest land and labor; b) governance reform to strengthen community, household and women's rights (R) over forests and land; c) investments (1) in institutions, infrastructure and public services that facilitate forest-based entrepreneurship; d) increased access to markets (M) for timber or non-timber forest products; and e) mechanisms that enhance and enable the flow of benefits from forest ecosystem services (E) to the poor. We test the utility of the framework through a review of the forestry portfolio of the World Bank Group, the largest public investor in forestry. Many of these projects include several, but not all, PRIME components. We devote particular attention to forest-related investments in two contrasting countries, Vietnam and Mexico, to examine synergies among the pathways. Results suggest that each strategy in the PRIME framework may play an important role in alleviating poverty, but pronounced impacts may require multiple pathways to be jointly pursued. The PRIME framework can guide research to address knowledge gaps on pathways to prosperity in forest landscapes, serve as an easily remembered checklist for managers, and nudge forest program designers in government and development organizations, who are interested in poverty reduction, to focus on the importance of both a comprehensive framework and synergies across different pathways.

The development economics literature suggests that increasing crop diversity is an effective risk management and consumption smoothing strategy in a context characterized by repeated exposure to shocks but weak institutional innovations. Using panel survey data from rural Uganda merged with historical weather data, this paper sheds light on the household welfare and consumption smoothing effects of crop diversity. We employ instrumental variables methods to control for unobserved heterogeneity and potential reverse causality. Our study finds that crop diversification is a welfare enhancing strategy that increases consumption and aggregate household diets. Instrumental variables quantile regression results show that crop diversification generates higher consumption benefits for poorest households in the lower quantile of the consumption distribution than for relatively richer households. Crop diversification also improves consumption smoothing through reducing households' reliance on less effective strategies such as informal insurance and involuntary diet changes as risk coping mechanisms. Overall, the findings suggest that transforming agriculture towards a more diversified cropping system is a viable pathway for improving diets, welfare, risk management and the resilience of rural households.

However, existing demographic research on indigenous forest peoples (IFPs) has many limitations, including a lack of comparable cross-national evidence. We address this gap by linking representative census microdata to satellite-derived tree cover estimates for nine countries in the region. Our analyses describe the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of IFPs, and draw comparisons with reference groups. Our first goal is to examine within- and between-population variation in the age structure, human capital attainment, and economic status of IFPs. We then analyze patterns of fertility among indigenous forest-dwelling women and comparison groups. Finally, we examine the association between migration patterns and tree cover among indigenous and non-indigenous populations. Findings demonstrate that Latin America's IFPs are materially deprived and characterized by high fertility levels overall. Importantly for sustainable development efforts, we show that non-indigenous forest-dwellers outnumber IFPs by more than eight to one and that IFPs have lower fertility than their non-indigenous counterparts when other characteristics are accounted for. Additionally, we find that most in-migrants to heavily-forested areas are non-indigenous, and that in migrants tend to settle in areas that are forested but have few indigenous inhabitants. These results provide new cross-national evidence on the state of IFPs in Latin America, and highlight the need to empower these groups in the face of growing social and environmental crises in the region.

TI End-Permian (252 Mya) deforestation, wildfires and flooding-An ancient biotic crisis with lessons for the present SO EARTH AND PLANETARY SCIENCE LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Australia; Triassic; extinction; palynology; biodiversity; Amazon ID CRETACEOUS-PALEOGENE BOUNDARY; SALT STORAGE LANDSCAPES; MASS EXTINCTION; TRIASSIC BOUNDARY; SYDNEY BASIN; BOWEN BASIN; RECOVERY; SECTION; COAL; TRANSITION AB Current large-scale deforestation poses a threat to ecosystems globally, and imposes substantial and prolonged changes on the hydrological and carbon cycles. The tropical forests of the Amazon and Indonesia are currently undergoing deforestation with catastrophic ecological consequences but widespread deforestation events have occurred several times in Earth's history and these provide lessons for the future. The end-Permian mass-extinction event (EPE; similar to 252 Ma) provides a global, deep-time analogue for modern deforestation and diversity loss. We undertook centimeter-resolution palynological, sedimentological, carbon stable-isotope and paleobotanical investigations of strata spanning the end-Permian event at the Frazer Beach and Snapper Point localities, in the Sydney Basin, Australia. We show that the typical Permian temperate, coal-forming, forest communities disappeared abruptly, followed by the accumulation of a 1-m-thick mudstone poor in organic matter that, in effect, represents a 'dead zone' hosting degraded wood fragments, charcoal and fungal spores. This signals a catastrophic scenario of vegetation die-off and extinction in southern high-latitude terrestrial settings. Lake systems, expressed by laterally extensive but generally less than a few-metres-thick laminated siltstones, generally lacking bioturbation, hosting assemblages of algal cysts and freshwater acritarchs, developed soon after the vegetation die-off. The first traces of vascular plant recovery occur similar to 1.6 m above the extinction horizon. Based on analogies with modern deforestation, we propose that the global fungal and acritarch events of the Permo-Triassic transition resulted directly from inundation of basinal areas following water-table rise as a response to the abrupt disappearance of complex vegetation from the landscape. The delta C-13(org) values reveal a significant excursion toward low isotopic values, down to -31 parts per thousand (a shift of similar to 4 parts per thousand), across the end-Permian event. The magnitude of the shift at that time records a combination of changes in the global carbon cycle that were enhanced by the local increase in microbial activity, possibly also involving cyanobacterial proliferation. We envisage that elevated levels of organic and mineral nutrients delivered from inundated dead forests, enhanced weathering and erosion of extra-basinal areas, together with local contributions of volcanic ash, led to eutrophication and increased salinity of basinal lacustrine-lagoonal environments. We propose that the change in acritarch communities recorded globally in nearshore marine settings across the end-Permian event is to a great extent a consequence of the influx of freshwater algae and nutrients from the continents. Although this event coincides with the Siberian trap volcanic activity, we note that felsic-intermediate volcanism was extensively developed along the convergent Panthalassan margin of Pangea at that time and might also have contributed to environmental perturbations at the close of the Permian.

Soil samples were taken every year to determine the soil physicochemical properties, the total abundance of bacteria, archaea, nitrifier and denitrifier communities and the changes in the structure and composition of the bacterial community. Gene abundance and biodiversity were estimated using quantitative PCR and pyrosequencing, respectively. The soils were watered weekly to reach 80% water filled pore space and varied from 80 to 62% during that time. N-fertilisation increased the abundance of bacteria and decreased that of archaea. Soils treated with ammonium or urea emitted more N2O than that amended with potassium nitrate and produced yearly increases in the abundance of nitrification genes. Also, the abundance of the denitrification genes gradually increased during the experimental period. N2O emission decreased on a yearly basis and so did the ratio of the genes involved in N2O production and reduction. A non-metric multidimensional scaling plot showed that N2O emission was positively related with the norB gene and negatively with the nosZ. The Shannon and Simpson diversity indices indicated that N-fertilisation reduced the number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and that the bacterial community became dominated by a small group of OTUs, respectively. N-fertilisation reduced the number of OTUs whose relative abundance was lower than 1%. We conclude that potassium nitrate reduces N2O emissions and increases the abundance of the N2O reducers. This work also shows that N-fertilisation decreases soil biodiversity and that its response depends on the type of the N-fertiliser.

In this study, we asked whether abundance, composition, or function of free-living soil nematode communities differed in association with two dune building grass species in US Pacific Northwest coastal dunes. In 2016, we surveyed soil nematode communities along foredune profiles at six sites in Oregon and Washington, USA, where the non-native beach grass Ammophila breviligulata co-occurred with the native dune grass Elymus mollis. We also measured plant-associated factors that might influence nematode communities, including plant tissue nitrogen, arbuscular mycorrhizal associations, litter production, and plant community diversity associated with the two grass species across the foredune profile. Elymus mollis plots had over twice as many nematodes on average as A. breviligulata plots and were also associated with a higher nematode enrichment index, especially on dune heels. This is possibly explained by higher percent leaf nitrogen content in E. mollis. Subtle differences in nematode community composition and plant tissue nitrogen between the two grass species indicate that A. breviligulata may be altering nutrient cycling across the dune profile, which could explain the arrested succession associated with this species on back dunes. However, overall, nematode communities shifted more in response to foredune cross-shore position and stabilization as opposed to changes in vegetation.

TI Anthropogenic disturbance and environmental factors drive the diversity and distribution of earthworms in Sao Miguel Island (Azores, Portugal) SO APPLIED SOIL ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Earthworm diversity; Azores colonization; Land use; Soil parameters; Altitude effects ID OLIGOCHAETA LUMBRICIDAE; MEGADRILES ANNELIDA; COMMUNITIES; INDICATORS; FAUNA; ACANTHODRILIDAE; ESTABLISHMENT; BIODIVERSITY; SYSTEMATICS; VEGETATION AB We present an evaluation of earthworm fauna in Sao Miguel Island (Azores, Portugal) revealing that it is rich in species in relation to its size and nature. Four families (Acanthodrilidae, Lumbricidae, Megascolecidae and Rhinodrilidae), 15 genera and 27 species were inventoried. About 74% were Palearctic species and 26% were Intertropical, mainly invasive earthworms originating from South-East Asia, of which Amynthas corticis Kingberg, 1867 was most dominant. The first comprehensive checklist of Sao Miguel earthworms is detailed, and the outdated nomenclature is improved, unifying synonymous taxa such as Lumbricus azoricus Eisen, 1869 and Allolobophoridella eiseni Levinsen, 1884. Seven new earthworm species records are given, highlighting Lumbricus friendi Cognetti, 1904 and Amynthas diffringens Baird, 1869 as cited for the first time in Macaronesia, and therefore expanding their known geographic range to the northern border of this region. Moreover, richness and composition of species were evaluated in relation to environmental and anthropogenic characteristics, including soil properties, altitude, land use intensity or distance to urban nuclei. Our results demonstrated that soil pH affected the establishment of species and that organic matter is positively associated with abundance of some non-native lumbricids (e.g. the anecic Octodrilus complanatus Duges, 1828) and negatively related to richness and abundance of exotic species such as Amynthas corticis, Amynthas gracilis Kingberg, 1867 and Pontoscolex corethrurus Muller, 1857. Results suggested that land use intensity, represented as five categories ranging from undisturbed sites with native vegetation to sites under intensive agriculture exploitation, is a good predictor of species composition. Higher values of diversity and density of Intertropical species were found in more intensively exploited locations. Moreover, the Palearctic lumbricids, although present in all the disturbance categories tested, were the most diverse group at higher altitudes. The species Dendrodrilus rubidus tenuis Eisen, 1864 and Lumbricus rubellus Hoffmeister, 1843, with narrow distribution range, showed a trend towards natural, non-intensive (NI) and low intensity (LI) systems. Our results indicate that anthropogenic disturbance and altitude are the main drivers of earthworm diversity on the island of Sao Miguel, making these animals good indicators for land use intensity. Therefore, earthworm surveys may help design conservation programs in protected areas. C1 [Talavera, J. A.] Univ La Laguna, Dept Anim Biol Zool, Tenerife, Spain.

In either case, differential-K theory would predict that levels of the GFP are highest in Asians, intermediate in Caucasians, and lowest in Blacks. In studies 1-5, I present evidence for the opposite ranking such that Blacks are highest, Caucasians intermediate, and Asians lowest. In study 5, I also show that this finding is not fully explained by differences in self-esteem. In study 6 I show that the disconnect between the GFP and life history strategies when analyzed at the level of ethnic groups cannot be unambiguously resolved by observing patterns of covariation among lower-order personality traits. I argue that-similar to the relationship between the general factor of intelligence and life history strategies-within-group individual differences in the GFP do not necessarily result from the same processes as between-group differences.

This study included 1047 participants from an ethnic minority area in southwest China. The results showed that EAAB was positively associated with OGO in both majority and minority groups. However, the relationship of EAAB and OGO was mediated by different mechanisms in majority compared to minority groups. In the majority ethnic group, self-transcendence and self-enhancement values, and agreeableness, partially mediated the relationship, where OGO was positively correlated with agreeableness and self-transcendence values and negatively correlated with self-enhancement values. In the minority ethnic group, conservation values and extraversion partially mediated the relationship, where OGO was positively correlated with extraversion and conservation values. Different mediating mechanisms suggest that future studies on motivational forces (values) of intergroup contact attitudes should consider factors of ecological and cultural diversity.

KILIMANJARO; ATLANTIC FOREST AB The conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity requires an understanding of the biotic and abiotic factors that condition the presence and survival of organisms in natural habitats. The global distribution and ecological hypersensitivity of pteridophytes have made them ideal candidates for studying the impact of biotic and abiotic factors on levels of biodiversity. This study aims to determine the effect of vegetation cover, human disturbance, and climatic factors on the distribution and diversity of pteridophytes in Togo with a view to guide conservation efforts. Our data comprises 130 plots of 500 m(2) representing all ecological zones of the country, complemented by several opportunistic collections. After determining the patterns of pteridophyte distribution, multivariate analysis of variance and the calculation of diversity indicators made it possible to determine the influence of the factors studied. We found that pteridophyte species diversity and distribution in Togo are strongly influenced by climatic variables, with more than 90% of species diversity being concentrated in the submontane forest areas. Humidity related variables, insolation, and human disturbances are the main drivers of their distribution. Species diversity is positively associated with an increase in humidity, but decreases with increasing insolation and human disturbance. Importantly, our results emphasize the association of specific species to particular conditions created by climate, land cover, and human disturbances, highlighting the role of pteridophyte species as indicators of environmental conditions or exposure to stress. Within humid forest areas, our analysis of the impact of disturbance indicates that about a quarter of the pteridophyte flora of humid forests is sensitive to minor disturbances, whereas almost all rainforest species decline in the face of high levels of disturbance. Agroforests are a particular case of moderately disturbed rainforests, and have the potential to harbour at least 30.5% of Togolese rainforest pteridophyte species diversity. We conclude that the conservation of pteridophytes in Togo requires the protection of submontane rainforests and the adoption of less destructive practices in terrestrial species habitats in coffee/cocoa-based agroforests.

They are, however, very fragmented and degraded, leaving isolated remnants across the landscape. These montane forest remnants have considerable differences in forest structure, depending on factors such as tree species composition and degree of forest degradation. Our objectives were (1) to analyse the reliability of airborne laser scanning (ALS) in modelling forest structural heterogeneity, as described by the Gini coefficient (GC) of tree size inequality; (2) to determine whether models are improved by including tree species-sensitive spectral-temporal metrics from the Landsat time series (LTS); and (3) to evaluate differences between three forest remnants and different forest types using the resulting maps of predicted GC. The study area was situated in Taita Hills, Kenya, where indigenous montane forests have been partly replaced by single-species plantations. The data included field measurements from 85 sample plots and two ALS data sets with different pulse densities (9.6 and 3.1 pulses m(-2)). GC was modeled using beta regression. We found that GC was predicted more accurately by the ALS data set with a higher point density (a cross-validated relative root mean squared error (rRMSE(CV)) 13.9%) compared to ALS data set with lower point density (rRMSE(CV) 15.1%). Furthermore, important synergies exist between ALS and LTS metrics. When combining ALS and LTS metrics, rRMSE(CV) was improved to 12.5% and 13.0%, respectively. Therefore, if the LTS metrics are included in models, ALS data with lower pulse density are sufficient to yield similar accuracy to more expensive, higher pulse density data acquired from the lower altitude. In Ngangao and Yale, forest canopy has multiple layers of variable tree sizes, whereas elfin forests in Vuria are of more equal tree size, and the GC value ranges of the indigenous forests are 0.42-0.71, 0.20-0.74, and 0.17-0.76, respectively. The single-species plantations of cypress and pine showed lower values of GC than indigenous forests located in the same remnants in Yale, whereas Eucalyptus plantations showed GC values more similar to the indigenous forests. These results show the usefulness of GC maps for identifying and separating forest types as well as for assessing their distinctive ecologies. C1 [Adhikari, Hari; Pellikka, Petri K.

TI Using ecological niche theory to avoid uninformative biodiversity surrogates SO ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS LA English DT Article DE Conservation; Indicator; Environmental change; Proxy; Causal relationship; Ecological theory; Biodiversity management; Biotic surrogacy paradox ID SPECIES RICHNESS; LIEBIGS LAW; CONSERVATION; RESTORATION; FRAMEWORK; HABITAT; PREDICT; VEGETATION; INDICATORS; MANAGEMENT AB Surrogates and indicators of biodiversity are used to infer the state and dynamics of species populations and ecosystems, as well as to inform conservation and management actions. Despite their widespread use, few studies have examined how ecological theory can guide the selection or surrogates and indicators, and thus reduce the likelihood of failure or cost of validation. We argue that ecological niche theory and knowledge of the extent to which particular limiting factors (e.g. physiological tolerances, limits to growth rates, or competitive exclusion) affect species distributions, abundance and coexistence could inform the choice of potential surrogates. Focusing on the environmental characteristics that define species niches makes it possible to identify situations where surrogates are likely to be ineffective, such as when there is no mechanistic basis for a candidate surrogate to be related to a biodiversity target. We describe two case studies where different candidate surrogate variables are shown to have contrasting potential as indicators of sustainable farming. Variables not mechanistically linked to the driver of change or responsive over appropriate timeframes or spatial scales are suggested a priori to be uninformative. The niche concept provides a framework for exploring ecological relationships that can inform the selection or exclusion of potential biodiversity surrogates. We think that this new approach to integrating ecological theory and application could lead to improved effectiveness of biodiversity monitoring and conservation.

The main objective of this work was to investigate the spatial covariance of different aspects of avian diversity across gradients of provisioning and regulating ecosystem services in Italy at a high spatial resolution. Location: Entire country of Italy. Methods: Regulating and provisioning ecosystem services proxies were mapped and standardised at a fixed spatial scale across Italy. We assessed taxonomic diversity, community evolutionary distinctiveness, functional evenness, functional dispersion, and phylogenetic species variability as proxies for biodiversity. Finally, mixed models were used to compare the spatial covariance between each ecosystem service and component of biodiversity. Results: We found different associations between ecosystem services and each biodiversity component. Bird species richness was higher at moderate levels of agricultural production. When the levels of agricultural production were lower, phylogenetic relatedness index and functional dispersion decreased while evolutionary uniqueness and functional evenness were increased. Moderate levels of potential pollination services were spatially correlated with high values of bird species richness. In addition, taxonomic diversity of birds increased at moderate levels of timber production of deciduous forests, while community evolutionary distinctiveness decreased at lower timber production. Conversely, phylogenetic relatedness, functional dispersion, and functional evenness increased at lower levels of timber production. Similar patterns were found for carbon sequestration and bird diversity spatial associations. Finally, functional evenness wasn't spatially related to any level of potential pollination and carbon sequestration provision. Main conclusions: This work demonstrates that large-scale associations between ecosystem services and biodiversity vary spatially in Italy. Our findings were achieved at a large spatial scale and high-spatial resolution, providing information about the complex interactions among avian communities and the provision of ecosystem services.

Thus, attention has raised on marine conservation actions to preserve habitat resilience and biodiversity. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) play an essential role in marine conservation as they are usually designated to provide marine ecosystem resilience of native communities to human-induced impacts (including non-native introductions) while contributing with positive effects on other ecosystem services. The introduction of a new species in novel marine habitats has been attributed to biotic, abiotic, and anthropogenic factors. In the present study, the effects of native functional diversity, wave exposure were studied, and for the first time, marine protection was addressed concerning the invasion success of six macroalgae in two MPAs in the NW Iberian Peninsula. The correlation between the presence/absence of some native functional groups and the invasion success of some invasive species highlighted the importance of conserving native canopy-formers. Despite local differences, wave exposure did not affect invasion success. The protection provided by both MPAs was very limited to prevent the establishment and spread of the most abundant invasive macroalgae. Therefore, stricter management plans should be implemented to ensure native ecosystem resilience within the MPAs.

TI Understanding what bioindicators are actually indicating: Linking disturbance responses to ecological traits of dung beetles and ants SO ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS LA English DT Article DE Brazilian savanna; Functional groups; Ivermectin; Tree density; Scarabaeinae; Formicidae ID HABITAT FRAGMENTATION; ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION; FUNCTIONAL-GROUPS; COMMUNITIES; CONSERVATION; BIODIVERSITY; DIVERSITY; SCARABAEINAE; IVERMECTIN; ASSEMBLAGES AB Biological responses to a disturbance can vary among taxa, which challenges the use of bioindicators for representing biodiversity responses more broadly. Linking ecological traits to disturbance response helps clarify what different bioindicator groups are actually indicating, providing a mechanistic basis for predicting the responses of other taxa. Dung beetles and ants are ecologically contrasting but widely used bioindicator taxa. Here we link variation in dung beetle assemblages to body size and dung-feeding behavior, and variation in ant communities to habitat preferences, foraging behaviour and competitive dynamics, to clarify what dung-beetles and ants are indicating in terms of biodiversity responses to pastoral land management in a Brazilian savanna landscape. Dung beetles and ants were sampled at 24 pastoral sites that varied in grass cover, tree density, pasture age, cattle density, and frequency of parasiticide use. Community metrics (abundance, richness, composition, functional group composition) of both dung beetles and ants varied markedly with pastoral land management, but this variation was not correlated, or only weakly, between taxa. For dung beetles, abundance, biomass and richness were all best predicted by frequency of parasiticide use, whereas species composition was best predicted by cattle density. Tree density was the most important variable for explaining ant abundance (both total and of several functional groups) and was also significantly related to ant species composition. Dung beetles and ants provided different indications of the impacts of pastoral management on biodiversity. However, by linking responses to ecological traits we were able to clarify what they were actually indicating. Leaf-cutter ants showed a similar response to dung beetles; collectively they are indicating an impact of parasiticide use on dung-feeders. The abundance of small-sized roller beetles was negatively related to grass cover; along with ants they are indicating the importance of vegetation structure. Such a linking of disturbance responses to ecological traits allows for more-robust predictions of likely responses of other faunal groups. We believe that such an approach provides a substantially improved foundation for the use of bioindicators in land management.

Campos, Pablo TI A comprehensive index for threatened biodiversity valuation SO ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS LA English DT Article DE Biodiversity conservation; Degree of knowledge; Existence value; Functional role; Sensitivity to disturbance; Threat status ID ECOSYSTEM SERVICES; CONSERVATION; INDICATORS AB We present a new comprehensive index for mapping the relative conservation value of threatened biodiversity. The index is based on explicit criteria to (1) select threatened species according to regional government responsibility for species' conservation; (2) combine species' presence by means of weighting factors based on differences in threat status, sensitivity to disturbance, functional role, and amount of knowledge; and (3) map species distributions at the scale of 1 km x 1 km UTM squares or lower from the information available. We tested the performance of the index in the forest of Andalusia (southern Spain), an extensive European region of 87,268 km(2), with 43,864 km(2) (ca. 50%) classified as forest habitats. All species included in the Annexes of the European Birds and Habitats Directives inhabiting the target area, plus the regionally endemic species either 'Critically Endangered' or 'Endangered' not (yet) covered by the Directives were selected. The final list included 224 species: 81 plants, 76 birds, 31 mammals, 22 arthropods, six reptiles, five amphibians, and three mollusks. Fine-scale distribution maps were available for 108 species (48%). The remaining maps were downscaled from published 10 km x 10 km UTM maps using knowledge on species' habitat requirements and land-use maps. We overlapped the fine-scale maps with the 86,546 forest files of the Andalusian Forest Map and weighted presences by a factor of relative conservation estimated for each species to obtain an index of the relative conservation of each forest file. Index values were higher in protected areas, and in different forest habitats according to expected numbers of endangered species. Index values were correlated with the existence value of threatened species, but the index underestimate existence values especially for the most valuable files. The proposed index allows mapping the relative conservation value of threatened biodiversity by integrating knowledge on all threatened species into a single variable. Integration is based on explicit methodological criteria for species selection, combination of relative conservation values, and estimation of downscaled maps. Accurate mapping and synthetic summary of compulsory data on the conservation status of all species present in a territory advise its extended use for threatened biodiversity valuation in both Europe and elsewhere.

This poses a major threat to global biodiversity. However, in developing countries the monitoring of atmospheric deposition has shown to be difficult. For these reasons, the aim of this study was to assess, by means of a greenhouse dose-response experiment, the biomonitoring potential of two mosses, Braunia secunda and Thuidium delicatulum, and two epiphytic bromeliads, Tillandsia recurvata and Tillandsia usneoides, which are widely distributed in Latin America. A significant increase of the phosphomonoesterase activity was observed for the mosses, particularly under a High-nitrogen treatment, a parameter that decreased for the bromeliads. In turn, the nitrate reductase activity decreased over the course of the experiment for the mosses, but it remained almost unchanged for both tillandsias. While the nitrogen content for the mosses increased, it fluctuated for the bromeliads. Braunia secunda became greener under the Low-nitrogen than under the other treatments, while the coloration for T. delicatulum turned to brown under all treatments. The tillandsias remained visually unchanged under all treatments. The mosses had a clear response to the simulated nitrogen deposition, with B. secunda being more tolerant than T. delicatulum. Neither tillandsia presented a clear response to the treatments. Thus, the moss B. secunda is a very suitable species for biomonitoring nitrogen deposition, while the other species evaluated were deemed unsuitable.

We suggest that thriving living systems (i.e., social-ecological or complex adaptive systems) can and should be the aim of sustainability and sustainable development. Thriving living systems, also called regenerative living systems, are those in which complexity, diversity, capacity to support all life, and the potential to change to provide future options increases. Holistic ecological and sustainability indicators and evaluation tools are needed. The emerging field of regenerative development (RD) offers theoretical and practical guidance for such indicators and tools. We integrate complex adaptive systems science, ecology, sustainability, and regenerative development to construct and pilot the first iteration of a holistic sustainable development evaluation tool-the Regenerative Development Evaluation Tool-in two river restoration projects. The tool identifies RD Principles and Core Characteristics of Regenerative Living Systems that provide general guidance for thinking and decision-making. From these general indicators, place-based quantitative and qualitative indicators are constructed through a cocreative community process. Our case studies reveal factors correlated with degrees of engagement with RD and potential place-based indicators for each project. We recommend continuing the development and expansion of the RD Evaluation Tool, adding RD indicators and strategies. We also recommend developing an RD process tool that can work explicitly across scales, integrating the neighborhood, city, landscape, and regional scales since they are pivotal for sustainability efforts and manifesting thriving living systems. Finally, we recommended integrated research and practice to test and adapt RD tools and processes. C1 [Gibbons, Leah, V] Arizona State Univ, Sch Sustainabil, Tempe, AZ 85287 USA.

A critical measure of a programme's effectiveness is whether it is generating an additional supply of ecosystem services (ES). So far, there has been limited analysis of PES programmes based on the actual supply of ES. In line with ecosystem accounting principles, we spatially quantified three ES recognised by Costa Rica's Pago de Servicios Ambientales (PSA) programme: carbon storage, soil erosion control and habitat suitability for biodiversity as a cultural ES. We used the machine learning algorithm random forest to model carbon storage, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to model soil erosion control and Maxent to model habitat suitability. The additional effect of the PSA programme on carbon storage was examined using linear regression. Forested land was found to store 235.3 Mt of carbon, control for 148 Mt yr(-1) of soil erosion and contain 762,891 ha of suitable habitat for three iconic but threatened species. PSA areas enrolled in the programme in both 2011 and 2013 were found to store an additional 9 tonC ha(-1) on average. As well as enabling a direct quantification of additionality, spatial distribution analysis can help administrators target high-value areas, confirm the conditional supply of ES and support the monetary valuation of ES. Ultimately, this can help improve the social efficiency of payments by enabling a comparison of societal costs and benefits.

TI Elevation, aspect, and local environment jointly determine diatom and macroinvertebrate diversity in the Cangshan Mountain, Southwest China SO ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS LA English DT Article DE Species richness; Distance-decay relationship; Topography; High mountain stream; Altitude; Hengduan Mountains ID CLIMATE-CHANGE; SPATIAL AUTOCORRELATION; ALTITUDINAL PATTERN; HUMAN IMPACT; SLOPE ASPECT; LAND-USE; STREAM; BIODIVERSITY; DISPERSAL; GRADIENTS AB Freshwater ecosystems in high-mountain regions are subject to emerging threats such as global warming and expanding human activities. Stream diatoms and macroinvertebrates form an essential component of freshwater ecosystems in high-mountain regions. Although these organisms are sensitive to environmental changes, knowledge regarding their elevational diversity patterns remains limited. Opposite aspects (e.g., north vs south; west vs east) usually receive different amounts of solar radiation and precipitation, leading to distinct in-stream characteristics such as discharge, flow regime, and water temperature. Despite the suggested strong influence of aspect on biodiversity patterns in mountains, its effect on stream diatoms and macroinvertebrates has been largely overlooked. The aims of our study were to 1) investigate whether macroinvertebrate and diatom taxon richness follows the same pattern along an elevational gradient; 2) test the effect of aspect on the elevational diversity (i.e., taxon richness and assemblage dissimilarity) patterns of macroinvertebrate and diatom assemblages; and 3) examine the relative importance of elevation, aspect, and the local environment (e.g., in-stream physicochemical variables) in shaping macroinvertebrate and diatom assemblages. We investigated macroinvertebrate and diatom assemblages in six nearly parallel streams (three streams on the east aspect and three on the west) in the Hengduan Mountains region. We found that the taxon richness of both macroinvertebrates and diatoms showed a monotonic increase with elevation (1623-2905 m a.s.l.) when aspect was not accounted for. When aspect was taken into consideration, macroinvertebrate taxon richness still showed a monotonically increasing elevational pattern on both the east and west aspects, but with significantly different model slopes, while a monotonical pattern for diatoms only remained on the west aspect. In addition, taxon richness of macroinvertebrates may also follow a potential unimodal pattern. The distance-decay relationships followed the same patterns as taxon richness, suggesting that the influence of aspect on diatom and macroinvertebrate assemblages was not negligible. Our results suggested that the diversity of both diatoms and macroinvertebrates was jointly determined by elevation, aspect and local environment. Compared to macroinvertebrates, the diatom assemblages were more strongly influenced by the local environment. To gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving elevational patterns of stream biodiversity in high-mountain regions, comparative studies that involve multiple organisms, streams, and mountains across a large elevational range are needed.

The Flow Health (FH) method which is based on the Range of Variability Approach (RVA) is used to quantify the hydrological alteration (flow changes) of different flow characteristics. The flow characteristics of pre- and post-dam impact periods are compared and evaluated to understand the ecologically sensitive streamflow parameters. The study is primarily focussed on the impact of human activities such as dam constructions. The wet and dry periods are excluded as they are impacted by climate variability. Results of the study confirmed that the impact of the Nagarjuna Sagar on the Krishna River Basin is the highest among the five dams studied, with an average FH score of 0.54 and that of PD Jurala dam is the lowest, with an average FH score of 0.65. This study will be beneficial to help restore regional water resources and eco-environmental system in the middle and lower Krishna River Basin. C1 [Kumar, A.

Based on 1180 benthic invertebrate community samples from 2005 to 2012 in central low mountain streams of Germany, we tested the hypotheses that 1) local contribution to beta diversity (LCBD: a measure of the uniqueness of communities) would decline with increasing average community dispersal capacity; and 2) owing to the relatively large spatial extent of the study region, regional dispersal processes would override local niche controls in structuring community composition. We found considerable temporal variation in LCBD and a negative correlation between LCBD and community dispersal capacity. However, no statistically significant correlation between species contribution to beta diversity (SCBD) and species dispersal capacity was observed. The large-scale spatial structure among locations (representative of dispersal limitation) was important in structuring benthic communities. Although much of the variation was explained by the shared effects of local processes and large-scale spatial variables, environmental controls were stronger than regional processes in few cases in the variance partitioning analysis, with the annual mean temperature and mean diurnal range of temperature being the important drivers. Given the highly varied correlates of beta diversity over time, we urge researchers to focus on not only spatial variation in diversity, but also the context of temporal variation.

Assessing the distribution and extent of such farmlands is useful for appropriate targeting of conservation measures and supporting associated rural communities. The conservation of species and habitats within HNVf is also among the aims of the EU's (European Union) Biodiversity Strategy and is a focus of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) Rural Development Programme. Data on HNVf distribution and extent is required for both policy implementations under the CAP for income support payments and reporting within the EU Biodiversity strategy. Here, we extend the scope of the methodology from a previous study by presenting a finer spatial resolution to map the likely distribution of HNVf in the Republic of Ireland using indicators adapted for the Irish context and weighted based on expert knowledge and literature. The indicators (and weighting) used were: semi-natural habitat cover (40%, from CORINE land cover), stocking density (30%, from Land Parcel Information System; LPIS), hedgerow/scrub cover (10%), river and stream density (10%), and soil diversity (10%). Indicators were included in a weighted sum model (WSM) that combined raster indicator inputs, representing relative weights and the output had a tetrad-scale (2 km x 2 km) resolution. We used various datasets (national nature designations, Irish semi-natural grasslands survey, intensive farmland points and field points with semi-natural habitats) to validate the final HNVf map. To do this, all datasets were converted from polygon to point data format by considering the centroid of the polygon as the data point and overlaid on the HNVf map to assess the possible incidence. Of the 13,660 tetrads defined as farmland in the analysis, 4602 (33.7%) had a high or very high likelihood of being HNVf. About 54% of the latter set of tetrads partly or wholly coincided with Natura 2000 sites; about 84% partly or wholly coincided with NPWS priority areas for conservation of biodiversity in agri-environment schemes, and about 53% were in upland areas ( > 150 m a.s.l.). Validation data representing extensive farmland systems had an increasing incidence in tetrads with higher values (HNVf likelihood); the opposite was true for validation data representing intensive farmland. The final output was combined with the NPWS priority areas for farmland biodiversity conservation because the latter represented Type 3 HNV that is poorly represented by our method (which best represents Type 1 HNV). To our knowledge, this study represents the most comprehensive method to estimate and validate the extent and distribution of HNVf in the Republic of Ireland. It indicates that a substantially higher proportion of the country is likely to comprise HNVf than previously estimated, and large areas of HNVf occur outside the Natura 2000 network, and in lowland areas. Improved knowledge of the distribution and extent of HNVf provides a valuable tool to help improve the decision-making process for policy targeting, implementation and monitoring of HNVf. The methodology presented here could be adapted by other EU countries that have relevant national-scale datasets.

We use multiple plant traits related to dispersal and establishment to identify the limiting filters for forest plants in the rural landscape of Estonia. We develop a set of quantitative metrics to rank indicator traits according to their distributional changes along migration distance. We implement a trait comparison to the potential optimum level suggested by two ecological reference groups of species to interpret these responses as filter driven convergence or divergence. The suggested set of metrics provided a clear ranking of traits and showed interpretational limitations of widely used short list of traits (e.g. seed weight, plant height and SLA). Results also demonstrate that there is no consistency between indicator metrics based on the shift in trait mean and those based on the reduction of variability, instead they provide complementary information. Unexpectedly, many characteristic traits of forest-specialist plants do not exhibit the expected responses. The response signal of many dispersal traits is too ambiguous to interpret because either (1) they do not have one clear optimum level, or (2) they indicate an establishment/persistence limitation instead, such as seed weight and flowering duration. Establishment traits indicate filtering clearly by improved light conditions. The pattern of trait means demonstrates that the dispersal filtering incrementally intensifies with distance, while establishment filtering occurs sharply at the forest-corridor ecotone. Consolidated results underscore that the migration of forest-restricted plants into corridors is limited by the habitat quality for dispersal vectors (e.g., for myrmecochores and zoochores), the scarcity of suitable microsites for seedling establishment, and the competition for light. A single optimal structure of wooded corridors cannot be suggested as forest-dwelling species exhibit various adaptations. Forest-biodiversity-enhancing wooded corridors should incorporate a diversity of shade levels and have structures that facilitate visits of forest insects, birds and mammals. We show that biased conclusions about the functional efficiency of habitats and limiting ecological filters can be avoided when indicator analytics include (1) multiple response metrics and analytical methods, (2) multiple seemingly redundant traits, and (3) several reference groups for interpretation. The proposed analytical approach adjusts for (1) the indictor choice subjectivity, and (2) the scaling bias implemented in several ecological indicator trait systems, which over-emphasise qualitative preferences of species rather than reflect their real niches.

The most commonly employed methodology is to rely on criteria established by experts, which can introduce subjectivity. However, more objective approaches should be used when developing conservation plans. This study follows one methodology focusing on classifying zone vulnerability within a protected natural area, taking as a study case a temporal pond network located in SW Spain; threatened aquatic plants were used as a bioindicators. Spatial data were analyzed using geographic information systems (GIS), and potentially vulnerable zones were identified using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) and, more specifically, the weighted overlay method. Criteria weights were determined by variables contribution obtained through species distribution models (SDM), via the maximum entropy algorithm (MaxEnt). The purpose was to avoid artificial bias in decision-making. The analysis indicated that 42.04% of the study area was highly vulnerable. In contrast, only the 14.34% of the study area was at very low risk, meaning it can help maintain pond network biodiversity. These results indicate that potentially vulnerable and crucial zones can be identified using GIS, facilitating the establishment of conservation priorities in a complex system. This methodology could be useful for prioritizing and implementing management and conservation efforts focused on unique species and habitats in protected natural areas.

However, the impacts of such projects on aquatic biodiversity in monsoon-dominated river ecosystems are little known, particularly in Nepal. This study examines the effects of flow reduction due to water diversion projects on the macroinvertebrate communities in the rivers of the Karnali and Mahakali basins in the Western Himalayas in Nepal. Macroinvertebrates were sampled during post-monsoon (November), baseflow (February) and pre-monsoon (May) seasons during 2016 and 2017. Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) was performed to visualize clustering of sites according to percentage of water abstractions (extraction of water for various uses) and Redundancy Analysis (RDA) was used to explore environmental variables that explained variation in macroinvertebrate community composition. A significant pattern of macroinvertebrates across the water abstraction categories was only revealed for the baseflow season. NMDS clustered sites into three clumps: "none to slight water abstraction ( < 30% - Class 1)", "moderate water abstraction ( > 30% to < 80% - Class 2)" and "heavy water abstraction ( > 80% - Class 3)". The study also showed that water abstraction varied seasonally in the region (Wilk's Lambda = 0.697, F-(2,F- 28) = 4.215, P = 0.025, n(2) = 0.23). The RDA plot indicated that taxa such as Acentrella sp., Paragenetina sp., Hydropsyche sp., Glossosomatinae, Elmidae, Orthocladiinae and Dimesiinae were rheophilic i.e. positively correlated with water velocity. Taxa like Torleya sp., Caenis sp., Cinygmina sp., Choroterpes sp., Limonidae and Ceratopogoniidae were found in sites with high proportion of pool sections and relative high temperature induced by flow reduction among the sites. Indicator taxonomic groups for Class 1, 2 and 3 water abstraction levels, measured through high relative abundance values, were Trichoptera, Coleoptera, Odonata and Lepidoptera, respectively. Macroinvertebrate abundance was found to be the more sensitive metric than taxonomic richness in the abstracted sites. It is important to understand the relationship between flow alterations induced by water abstractions and changes in macroinvertebrates composition in order to determine sustainable and sound management strategies for river ecosystems.

This research aims to investigate the possible role of green infrastructures (GIs), as providers of ecosystem services, in enhancing urban well-being in the 116 Italian provincial capital cities. The analysis has been based on the conceptual model proposed by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) (2005) to explain how the four categories of ecosystem services (supporting, provisioning, regulating, and cultural) and the components of human well-being are interrelated. In order to perform the assessment, the most suitable indicators of social capital and green infrastructures have been identified from the panel of indices and indicators provided by national official statistics. The corresponding analysis has highlighted that northern Italian cities are characterized by simple but well-managed green infrastructures and wooded areas, with the highest level of social cohesion and inclusion associated with a high value of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. The southern part of the country is characterized mainly by "Historical greens" and high levels of health and social security but low levels of income, social inclusion and cohesion. This research represents a first attempt to link the different typologies of green infrastructures with the provision of ecosystem services. Given the recognized contribution of GIs in preserving natural habitats in an urban context, the SLOSS (single large or several small) debate, typically applied for conservation purposes, could also be appropriate for GIs. Therefore, it could be necessary to investigate whether fewer large nature preserves (large urban parks), or a patchwork of smaller green areas can better enhance human well-being in an urban context.

The purpose of this study was to determine major predictors among environmental factors that have an impact on benthic invertebrate communities dwelling in small rivers, and to compare the structure of the communities in terms of their abundance, biodiversity and abundance between the sites. For this purpose we studied a total of 30 sites located in 10 watercourses, where 95 taxa were identified, including 49 specific species. The study brought evidence of differences in the number of taxa, biodiversity indices and abundance of micro-benthic communities across specific sites. Ammonium ions, water velocity and phosphates were found to be major predictors among environmental factors having impact on benthic communities.

A model of water environmental carrying capacity was constructed according to the BP artificial neural network. The model, which quantitatively analyzed the water environmental carrying capacity of the Aiyi River, found it to be in the basic carrying state.

Evaluating the impact of urban expansion on carbon sequestration of the urban forest is important to understand the carbon cycle in urban ecosystems. Multiple remote sensing data were used to map land covers and carbon sequestration indicators of Shenyang in 2000, 2005, and 2010. Urban land area percentage (UAP), urban expansion magnitude (UEM), net primary productivity (NPP), aboveground biomass (AGB), and the change rate of NPP (RNPP) and AGB (RAGB) were analyzed in regions with different distances from the urban core. Results showed that the decline of UAP and bimodal fluctuation of UEM was found as the increase of distance from urban center. Urban forest NPP and AGB both rose with distance from urban center increased. Significant differences in NPP and AGB existed in various urban forest types. Moreover, UAP was significantly negatively correlated with NPP and AGB. We conclude that urban forests see more disturbances compared to natural forests. The evergreen coniferous forest has the highest ability of carbon sequestration, and great potential of carbon storage is found in the urban forest. Besides, the urban forest's carbon sequestration function will be maintained when adopting appropriate urban development mode.

However, integrated assessments are lacking. Thus, this study aims to develop an approach using sustainable life cycle assessment integrated to multicriteria methods of decision-making and probabilistic weighting in order to evaluate the sustainability of four different alternatives of animal production in the southern region of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. By presenting the integrated evaluation in a single score, the system with crop-livestock rotation (CLR) obtained a better performance. The better performance was due to the reduction in mechanization costs for planting and a high capacity of animal support per hectare without directly using phosphate and nitrogen fertilizers. However, by evaluating individual criteria, the pasture fertilization system (PFS) obtained the best performance regarding social indicators due to the high generation of jobs and worker remuneration. Probabilistic weighting in conjunction with the VIKOR (VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) multicriteria method proved to be an efficient solution to exempt human judgment from criteria weighting. This reduces the uncertainty of evaluation and allows a risk analysis considering all possible weight combinations in an integrated and individual way per criterion. However, studies on the development of new indicators related to systems, especially not evaluated criteria such as biodiversity, ecosystem services and animal welfare, are necessary to improve the evaluation of system sustainability.

To address this issue, data from 418 systematically distributed 0.4 ha plots were collected. Estimators of nonparametric species richness were employed to assess the floristic representativeness of data collected in three forest types in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The sampling sufficiency of forest attributes was evaluated as a function of sample size. Altogether, 831 tree/shrub species were recorded. The data acquired through the systematic sampling design were representative of both species richness and basal area. The confidence intervals' length would not substantially decrease by using more than 70 % of the reference sample (n = 364), thereby reaching a length of similar to 5 % of the sample mean. Nevertheless, reliable estimates of species richness for diverse forests demand a thorough sampling approach far more exacting so as to achieve acceptable population estimates of forest attributes. Though the study area is regarded as a biodiversity hotspot, the forest stands showed diminished species richness, basal area, stem volume and biomass when compared to old-growth stands. As regards species richness, the data provided evidence of contrasting great gamma-diversity (at the forest type level) and small alpha-diversity (at the forest stand level). Amongst anthropic impacts, illegal logging and extensive cattle grazing within stands are undoubtedly key factors that threaten forest conservation in the study area.

This may cause ecological and sanitary risks to native aquatic biodiversity especially in fishless Alpine lakes. In these ecosystems, fish have been introduced by anglers for ages. Europe imposes strictly controls on aquaculture facilities that breed fish for stoking purpose only for viral disease but not for bacterial or parasitic ones. Moreover, the role of alien fish as carriers of pathogens is poorly studied. For these reasons, we performed two fish sampling campaigns in two Italian Alpine lakes (Dimon Lake and Balma Lake) to have qualitative information about alien fish populations and to perform a bacteriological survey on captured fish. In Dimon Lake we captured individuals of Cottus gobio and of Phoxinus phoxinus, while only individuals of Salvelinus fontinalis were sampled in Balma Lake. We isolated Aeromonas sobria and Plesiomonas shigelloides in Dimon Lake, which are bacteria widespread in aquatic environment. In Balma Lake, one fish was positive for Yersinia ruckeri, a primary pathogen present in aquaculture facilities that reared salmonids. Our study show how alien species may introduce bacteria that could be more virulent for native aquatic fauna or even pathogenic bacteria.

However, how affected zooplankton functional groups in rivers are largely unknown. In the present study zooplankton functional and taxonomic structure were investigated seasonally in relation to environmental parameters between 2013 and 2015 in Kocagay Delta located on the South of the Marmara Region. The environmental parameters (e.g. water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, chlorophylla and nutrients) were measured at four sampling station covering estuarine and riverine area. A total of 44 taxa of zooplankton were identified and mostly dominated by cosmopolite microphagous rotifers reflecting the proper intervals of environmental parameters for their habitat chokes. Among rotifers Microcodides chlaena and Keratella serrulata were the new records for the study site and Turkish rotifer list. The only selective filter feeder was Bosmina longirostris in Kocacay Delta. The zooplankton functional group, microphagous, showed seasonal variations and affected by chlorophyll-a content. We suggested that trait-based approaches would be a useful tool to assess the degree of environmental disturbance and interaction between trophic levels.

In the present study, we estimate the richness and diversity, as well as the association value of submontane scrub, oak forest, and cloud forest species at Cerro Bufa El Diente, within the Sierra de San Carlos priority land region, located in the Central-western region of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Three sampling sites were established based on criteria of vegetation distribution per altitudinal floor. One site for each altitudinal floor and vegetation type. Sampling was carried out in permanent transects on a monthly basis at each site, using an aerial entomological net and ten Van Someren-Rydon traps, during four sampling periods: early dry season, late dry season, early wet season and late wet season. In total, 7,611 specimens belonging to six families, 20 subfamilies, 32 tribes, 148 genera and 243 species of the study area were collected. Nymphalidae was the most abundant family with 3,454 specimens, representing 45.38% of total abundance in the study area. Lower abundance was recorded in Hesperiidae (19.17%), Pieridae (16.41%), Lycaenidae (10.17%), Papilionidae (5.12%), and finally Riodinidae (3.74%). The highest species richness was presented in the family Hesperiidae with 34.57% of the total obtained species followed by Nymphalidae (30.45%), Lycaenidae (15.23%), Pieridae (9.88%), Papilionidae (5.76%), and Riodinidae (4.12%). Twenty-seven species were categorized as abundant, these species, Anaea aidea (Guerin-Meneville, 1844), Libytheana carinenta larvata (Strecker, 1878), Pyrgus oileus (Linnaeus, 1767), Mestra amymone (Menetries, 1857) and Phoebis agarithe agarithe (Boisduval, 1836) presented the highest number of specimens. Sixty-five species were considered common, constituting 41.73% of the total number of butterflies, 63 frequent (9.76% of the total abundance), 55 limited (2.54%) and 33 rare (0.43%). The greatest number of specimens and species, as well as alpha diversity, were presented on the lowest altitudinal floor, made up of submontane scrub, and decreased significantly with increasing altitude. According to the cluster analysis, low and intermediate altitude sites constitute an area of distribution of species that prefer tropical conditions, while the third-floor site forms an independent group of high mountain species. The greatest abundance and richness of species, as well as alpha diversity, was obtained during the last wet season, decreasing significantly towards the early dry season. Moreover, through the use of the association value, 19 species were designated as indicators, three for the last altitudinal floor, three for the intermediate and 13 for the first. The present work represents the first report of the altitudinal variation in richness, abundance and diversity of butterflies in the northeast of Mexico. These results highlight the importance of the conservation of this heterogeneous habitat and establish reference data for the diurnal Lepidoptera fauna of the region.

Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait-based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits-almost complete coverage for 'plant growth form'. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait-environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives.

TI Environmental correlates of leguminosae species richness in Mexico: Quantifying the contributions of energy and environmental seasonality SO BIOTROPICA LA English DT Article DE climate; principal coordinates of neighborhood matrix; rarefaction; variation partitioning ID LATITUDINAL GRADIENTS; VASCULAR PLANTS; SCALE PATTERNS; BIG DATA; DIVERSITY; CLIMATE; BIODIVERSITY; DETERMINANTS; CONSERVATION; PRODUCTIVITY AB Explaining species richness patterns is a central issue in ecology, but a general explanation remains elusive. Environmental conditions have been proposed to be important drivers of these patterns, but we still need to better understand the relative contribution of environmental factors. Here, we aim at testing two environmental hypotheses for richness gradients: energy availability and environmental seasonality using diversity patterns of the family Leguminosae across Mexico. We compiled a data base of 502 species and 32,962 records. After dividing Mexico into 100 x 100 km grid cells, we constructed a map of variation in species richness that accounts for heterogeneity in sampling effort. We found the cells with the highest species richness of legumes are in the Neotropical region of Pacific coastal and southern Mexico, where the legume family dominates the tropical rain forests and seasonally dry tropical forests. Regression models show that energy and seasonality predictors can explain 25% and 49% of the variation in richness, respectively. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that richness has a strong spatial structure, but that most of this structure disappears when both energy and seasonality are used to account for richness gradient. Our study demonstrates multiple environmental conditions contribute complementarily to explain diversity gradients. Moreover, it shows that in some regions, environmental seasonality can be more important than energy availability, contradicting studies at coarser spatial scales. More basic taxonomic and floristic work is needed to help describe patterns of diversity for many groups to allow for testing the underlying mechanisms responsible for diversity gradients. in Spanish is available with online material.

Predation of insect pests is an indicator of healthy ecosystem functioning, which provides important ecosystem services, especially for agricultural systems. In this study, we compare predation attempts from arthropods, mammals, and birds on artificial caterpillars in the understory, between three tropical agricultural land-use types: oil palm plantations, rubber tree plantations, and fruit orchards. We collected a range of local and landscape-scale data including undergrowth vegetation structure; elevation; proximity to forest; and canopy cover in order to understand how environmental variables can affect predation. In all three land-use types, our results showed that arthropods and mammals were important predators of artificial caterpillars and there was little predation by birds. We did not find any effect of the environmental variables on predation. There was an interactive effect between land-use type and predator type. Predation by mammals was considerably higher in fruit orchards and rubber tree than in oil palm plantations, likely due to their ability to support higher abundances of insectivorous mammals. In order to maintain or enhance natural pest control in these common tropical agricultural land-use types, management practices that benefit insectivorous animals should be introduced, such as the reduction of pesticides, improvement of understory vegetation, and local and landscape heterogeneity.

TI Bridging the food security gap: an information-led approach to connect dietary nutrition, food composition and crop production SO JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article; Early Access DE nutritional security; cultivar variation; genetic resources; databases; knowledge representation; food supply ID ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY; COMPOSITION DATABASES; GLYCEMIC INDEX; LEGUMES; BIODIVERSITY; AGRICULTURE; NUTRIENTS; QUALITY; SEED AB BACKGROUND Food security is recognized as a major global challenge, yet human food-chain systems are inherently not geared towards nutrition, with decisions on crop and cultivar choice not informed by dietary composition. Currently, food compositional tables and databases (FCT/FCDB) are the primary information sources for decisions relating to dietary intake. However, these only present single mean values representing major components. Establishment of a systematic controlled vocabulary to fill this gap requires representation of a more complex set of semantic relationships between terms used to describe nutritional composition and dietary function. RESULTS We carried out a survey of 11 FCT/FCDB and 177 peer-reviewed papers describing variation in nutritional composition and dietary function for food crops to identify a comprehensive set of terms to construct a controlled vocabulary. We used this information to generate a Crop Dietary Nutrition Data Framework (CDN-DF), which incorporates controlled vocabularies systematically organized into major classes representing nutritional components and dietary functions. We demonstrate the value of the CDN-DF for comparison of equivalent components between crop species or cultivars, for identifying data gaps and potential for formal meta-analysis. The CDN-DF also enabled us to explore relationships between nutritional components and the functional attributes of food. CONCLUSION We have generated a structured crop dietary nutrition data framework, which is generally applicable to the collation and comparison of data relevant to crop researchers, breeders, and other stakeholders, and will facilitate dialogue with nutritionists. It is currently guiding the establishment of a more robust formal ontology.

The human-mediated movement of species has increased significantly with globalization and the expansion of international trade. Seaports have thus become the entry points for a variety of organisms transported with cargo, ballast water or as biofouling, and, therefore, coastal and marine habitats around the world have become especially vulnerable to this problem. Salsola soda L. (Amaranthaceae) is an annual halophytic plant, native to the Old World. Its presence beyond its native range was recorded for the first time in the mid-twentieth century in two estuarial habitats, on the Pacific coast in the United States and on the Atlantic coast of Argentina, becoming invasive at both sites. It grows as dense, practically monotypic populations, just above the high tide line. When S. soda colonizes the elevated zones where some colonial coastal birds nest, it causes them to move to lower adjacent sites, increasing their exposure to the effect of tides and storms that can result in the loss of nests. To contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of the invasion and its projection, we assessed the production, viability and germination capacity of S. soda seed, analyzed the effects of different salt concentrations on its germination and measured its dispersal capacity by hydrochory. The species produces large quantities of fruit, exceeding 16,000 in larger plants. The percentage of germination is very high for young seed (almost 100% during the first five months after their release), decreasing to less than 10% a year later. The effects of salinity are almost negligible in NaCl solutions of 0-300 mM, with a slight decrease in the germination rate at the higher salinities. Fruits can remain floating in seawater for up to a week, retaining a high germination capacity, so marine currents can be highly effective vectors for their dispersal. The biological features of Salsola soda make it a serious threat to the study site, in particular the production of large quantities of seed easily transportable by water and wind and capable of becoming established under typical marine coastal conditions, anticipating a high potential for expansion in this environment and in others nearby, and invading other similar coastal areas worldwide. On the other hand, its annual life cycle and the short survival time of its seeds could be key for the development of control and eradication actions in invaded sites.

Here we investigate the potential relationships between crayfish occurrence and a series of abiotic factors, as well as the effects of crayfish abundance on sedimentary organic matter (OM) quantity and degradation. A total of 329 sampling points was investigated in a managed protected brackish wetland (Southern Sardinia, Italy). A generalized additive model (GAM) was applied to investigate the influence of abiotic variables on the crayfish occurrence. We then assessed the potential effects of crayfish abundance on sedimentary OM quantity, biochemical composition and degradation rates. We report here that the occurrence of crayfish was mostly explained by the joint effects of water salinity, characteristics of soil's bank and bottom substrate composition. We report also that the presence of this crayfish, due to its bioturbation ability, is associated with a more homogeneous vertical distribution of OM along the sediment profile. Moreover, we revealed that the presence of P. clarkii is associated with OM contents and caloric contents that are significantly lower than those in crayfish-free sediments. These results suggest that the presence of P. clarkii determines not only a decrease in the quantity of food potentially available for the benthos, but also a decrease in its nutritional value. Moreover, we report also that the presence of P. clarkii is associated with a decrease in protein degradation rates and an increase in their turnover time, indicating that this species could have severe effects on the local C cycle.

Particularly, fluctuations in abundance of dominant species might indicate major changes in resource use and ecosystem functioning. Here we use quantitative surveys of Baltic brackish and salt marsh plant communities to infer how variability in species abundances and environmental conditions influence plant assimilation rates and whether compensatory effects in abundance mask variability in functionality. The variability in species richness and assimilation rates was negatively correlated with average soil organic matter content and moisture and positively correlated with soil pH. It was independent of the variability in soil conditions. The abundances of rare species and species of intermediate abundances increased with increasing community wide assimilation rates. Our findings indicate that the strength of compensatory mechanisms that stabilise assimilation rates in salt marsh environments heavily depend on soil conditions. In the present study sites benign soil conditions stabilized assimilation rates while more stressful conditions caused synchronous fluctuations in total abundance and assimilation.

The Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases is a population-based, cross-sectional study of Chinese, Malays and Indians living in Singapore. Iowa Reference Algorithms (Iowa Institute for Biomedical Imaging) were used for intra-retinal layer segmentation and mean thickness of 10 intra-retinal layers rescaled with magnification correction using axial length value. Linear regression models were performed to investigate the association of retinal layers with risk factors. After excluding participants with history of diabetes or ocular diseases, high-quality macular SD-OCT images were available for 2,047 participants (44-89 years old). Most of the retinal layers decreased with age except for foveal retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and the inner/outer segments of photoreceptors where they increased with age. Men generally had thicker retinal layers than women. Chinese have the thickest RNFL and retinal pigment epithelium amongst the ethnic groups. Axial length and refractive error remained correlated with retinal layers in spite of magnification correction. Our data show pronounced age-related changes in retinal morphology. Age, gender, ethnicity and axial length need be considered when establishing OCT imaging biomarkers for ocular or systemic disease.

Here we analyze results of the yearlong replicated mesocosm experiment with multi-species plankton community that allowed revealing signs of chaos at different trophic levels in strictly controlled abiotic environment. In mesocosms without external stressors, we observed the "paradox of chaos" when biotic interactions (internal drivers) were acting as generators of internal abiotic triggers of complex plankton dynamics. Chaos was registered as episodes that vanished unpredictably or were substituted by complex behaviour of other candidates when longer time series were considered. Remarkably, episodes of chaos were detected even in the most abiotically stable conditions. We developed the Integral Chaos Indicator to validate the results of the Lyapunov exponent analysis. These findings are essential for modelling and forecasting behaviour of a variety of natural and other global systems. C1 [Telesh, Irena, V] Russian Acad Sci, Zool Inst, St Petersburg 199034, Russia.

However, little research has examined potential heterogeneity in the association between social support and life satisfaction across Han and ethnic minority elderly. Based on data from the 2014 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey, this study uses ordered logit models with interaction terms to examine the relationship between social support and the life satisfaction of ethnic minority elderly and of elderly Han Chinese. We find that support from families and friends has a stronger association with the life satisfaction of ethnic minority elderly than their Han peers. For ethnic minority elderly, the patterns of family support varied according to rural or urban residence, with family support being less important to the life satisfaction of ethnic minority elderly living in urban communities than in rural areas. Our findings suggest that social policy should take this heterogeneity between ethnic groups into account.

(Asteraceae) is one of the largest angiosperm genera notorious for its taxonomic complexity caused by widespread interspecific hybridization. This process is tightly coupled with polyploidization and apomixis - asexual reproduction by seeds, which has ensured the persistence of otherwise sterile interspecific hybrids. As a result, apomictic polyploid taxa dominate the taxonomic diversity of the genus whilst sexual diploid species are extremely rare and mostly confined to southern Europe. As diploid taxa are assumed to be the parents of apomictic lineages, the discovery of any new diploid species is important for understanding evolutionary processes and diversity patterns in the genus. Here, we describe a new diploid species, Hieracium vranceae, a narrow endemic to the Muntii Vrancei (Vrancea Mountains, Eastern Carpathians, Romania). This taxon with a distinctive morphology and a strong affinity to relic rocky habitats was first collected in 2013. This means that, even in Europe, some regions, like the Eastern Carpathians, are botanically underexplored and might still preserve an undiscovered diversity of plants. Phylogenetic analyses with multiple molecular markers (low-copy nuclear genes gsh1 and sqs, nuclear ribosomal ETS, four cpDNA loci) applied to all diploid Hieracium species support specific rank for H. vranceae. In contrast, molecular data suggest conspecifity of two pairs of species, H. lucidum/H. cophanense from Sicily and H. naegelianum/H. renatae from the Balkans, which are moreover only weakly differentiated morphologically. Molecular (cpDNA) and cytogenetic (GISH, FISH) analyses furthermore revealed that H. vranceae has been involved as a maternal parent in the origin of an allotriploid apomictic species, H. telekianum, to which H. vranceae contributed one haplome. The other putative parents of H. telekianum are the diploid narrow endemic H. pojoritense and probably H. sparsum s.l. Our data thus stress the importance of interspecific hybridization for an evolutionary shift from sexuality to apomixis in Hieracium. Our findings furthermore highlight the significance of that part of the Carpathians as one of the most important evolutionary/refugial centres of Hieracium and suggest dynamic species ranges at a regional scale allowing physical contact of taxa whose distributional ranges are nowadays completely allopatric.

Understanding how coral reef communities respond in space and over the long term is essential in order to implement management strategies and reduce the effects of biodiversity loss on coral reefs. Fish, coral, and algae communities were used as indicators to evaluate changes in coral reef systems. The variation of these communities was studied in a marine protected area composed of three management zones in Cozumel Coral Reef National Park in Quintana Roo, Mexico, over a period of 11 years (2004-2014). The following parameters were monitored annually: (i) total fish density; (ii) fish trophic group densities; (iii) species richness and three fish diversity indices; (iv) relative scleractinian coral cover; and (v) relative macroalgae cover. In the years in which coastal development, such as the construction of a marina, took place, an increase in the abundance of territorial herbivorous and planktivorous fish was observed. As the coral recovered, macrocarnivores and sessile benthic invertivores were re-established, whereas scraper herbivores showed no changes in the period of study in any of the three management zones. Coral cover recovery showed rapid phase-shift reversal (phase-shift, macroalgae dominance over coral) in the three zones. Even though the fish density and coral cover recovered, the diversity indices of each fish trophic group exhibited a reduction in the three management zones over time.
