Retention of fish larvae in an optimal habitat is essential for successful recruiting fish populations. Atoll lagoons may serve as ideal retention areas for fish larvae. We used plankton nets to investigate larval fish assemblages during flooding and ebbing tides in a water-passage inside the Yongle Atoll Lagoon in the South China Sea in May 2022 to reveal the patterns of fish larvae exchanges between the lagoon and the ocean. We collected a total of 186 species/taxa, which were mainly composed of Pomacentridae (21 taxa, 12.3 % total individuals), followed by Apogonidae (18, 6.2 %), Gobiidae (17, 7.4 %), Lutjanidae (15, 5.8 %), Labridae (11, 16.9 %), and Myctophidae (9, 12.6 %). Species richness and density were higher during flooding tide at night (140 taxa, 129.5 ind. / 100 m3) than that during ebbing tide at night (99 taxa, 22.7 ind. / 100 m3), followed by flooding tide at day (42 taxa, 10.0 ind. / 100 m3) and ebbing tide at day (5 taxa, 1.6 ind. / 100 m3). Thus, more fish larvae were transported into the lagoon through flooding tides than those washed out through ebbing tides, as well as at night compared to during daytime. This demonstrated the retention function of the lagoon driven by a combination of flooding tide and the nocturnal activity of fish larvae. Our results suggested that the protection of atoll lagoons in open oceans should be further emphasized not only for their high biodiversity but also for their potential role in providing retention habitats and consequently enhancing recruitment of fish populations.
Materials science plays an irreplaceable role in driving societal progress and technological innovation. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies, the research paradigm in materials science is undergoing profound transformations. This review discusses how the integration of AI and big data is reshaping the research paradigm in materials science (AI for materials science), accelerating the advancement of computational materials science, and innovating the experimental process. It begins by outlining the infrastructure development of material databases in the context of big data, which serve as the cornerstone of scientific work by providing robust support for the storage, management, and analysis of material data. These databases facilitate efficient data handling, enabling researchers to extract valuable insights from vast amounts of experimental and simulation data. Subsequently, the review explores the application of AI technologies across different stages of the material discovery cycle, including theoretical calculations, experimental design, data collection, and synthesis. AI algorithms, particularly deep learning, have revolutionized these stages by enhancing the ability to process and analyze complex datasets, revealing intricate relationships between material structures and their properties. A significant highlight of this review is the introduction of self-driving laboratories (SDLs). Resulting from the integration of AI with laboratory automation and robotics technology, SDLs have realized a complete closed-loop process for material discovery, promoting a significant shift towards autonomous scientific discovery models. These laboratories can independently design and execute experiments, analyze results, and iteratively refine hypotheses, greatly increasing the efficiency and accuracy of material discovery. Furthermore, the development of large language models (LLMs) has brought about revolutionary changes in natural language understanding, leading to the emergence of scientific LLMs, thus expanding the capabilities from text understanding to scientific exploration. The review provides an overview of the latest advancements in LLMs within materials science, emphasizing their critical role in expediting the material discovery process. These models can parse and understand vast amounts of scientific literature, enabling researchers to stay abreast of the latest developments and identify novel research directions. The review concludes by evaluating the challenges involved in building an intelligent ecosystem for material research. These challenges include the need for high-quality, standardized data, the integration of diverse AI tools, and the development of robust methodologies for cross-disciplinary collaboration. Despite these challenges, the substantial potential of AI in materials science is evident. AI technologies promise to transform material research, enabling the discovery of new materials with unprecedented speed and precision. In summary, this review aims to inform researchers about the significance of AI in materials science, highlighting the transformative impact of AI and big data on the research paradigm. It underscores the importance of developing intelligent systems and methodologies to harness the full potential of AI, thereby advancing the field of materials science and contributing to technological innovation and societal progress.
AimSurf zones are crucial nursery habitats for the early life stages of fish species associated with typical coastal ecosystems. However, little is known about the temporal patterns and drivers of fish assemblages in tropical surf zones. This study aimed to assess the (1) main changes in fish community structure throughout 1 year, (2) seasonal dynamic patterns in fish assemblages, and (3) key factors influencing fish assemblages in the tropical surf zones.LocationGaolong Bay, Wenchang City, Hainan Island, China.MethodsFish sampling was conducted monthly from June 2021 to May 2022 using a beach seine net. Fish species were identified using both morphological and molecular analyses. Kruskal-Wallis test, analysis of similarity, non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis, and similarity percentage analysis were used to investigate the temporal fish assemblage patterns. Generalised additive models and canonical correspondence analysis were used to assess how environmental variables influence fish assemblages.ResultsWe identified 83 fish species, which were grouped into three ecotypes based on their primary habitat: coral reef-seagrass-associated species (CS) (35), mangrove-estuarine-associated species (ME) (30), and common coastal-estuarine-associated species (CE) (18). Most captured individuals were juveniles, and fish abundance and diversity were highest in May. Most CS species were abundant between March and May. ME and most CE species were dominant from June to August, and Mugilidae (CE) was abundant between October and February. Furthermore, surf fish assemblages were substantially influenced by tidal level, water temperature, conductivity, pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen.ConclusionsJuvenile fish were abundant in May and fish species with three ecotypes alternate in the surf zones throughout the year. Counter to much current thinking, March maybe the spawn peak of most fish species in the studied area, and we suggest that the fishing ban period could start from March instead of May in the inshore areas of Hainan Island.
为探讨湖泊内部阻隔引发的生态问题,阐释鱼类群落聚合对湖泊内部阻隔的响应,研究选取长江中游典型阻隔湖泊保安湖为研究对象,于2019-2020年夏季和秋季对其肖四海湖区(完全阻隔)、扁担塘湖区(半阻隔)、桥墩湖区(半阻隔)和主体湖区的鱼类群落结构进行了调查,应用单因素方差分析、置换多元方差分析和非度量多维尺度等多重统计方法分析了湖区间鱼类群落组成和多样性的差异.结果表明,完全阻隔湖区肖四海鱼类群落结构发生了明显变化,其种类数[(15±3)种]显著低于半阻隔湖区[(22±3)种]和主体湖区[(23±3)种,P<0.05],鱼类丰度高而生物量低,物种丰富度指数、Shannon指数和Simpson指数显著低于主体湖区(P<0.05),功能丰富度指数、功能分散度指数和功能均匀度指数也显著较低(P<0.05);而半阻隔湖区鱼类群落结构与主体湖区无显著性差异.置换多元方差分析和非度量多维尺度分析也显示出完全阻隔湖区鱼类群落与半阻隔湖区和主体湖区鱼类群落具有显著性差异(P<0.05),半阻隔湖区与主体湖区无显著性差异.研究发现湖泊内部水文阻隔对鱼类群落组成也有着重要影响,恢复湖泊内部水文自由连通对湖泊生态管理和生物多样性保护有着重要作用.
The source region of the Yangtze River, located in the heart of the Tibetan Plateau, is sensitive to climate change, holding a tendency of river runoff increase and lake area expansion and desalination.Investigation on aquatic organisms is helpful to understand impacts of climate change on ecosystems of this region.We investigated benthic macroinvertebrate communities in Yangtze’s western source TuoTuoHe River and southern source DangQu River and 5 surrounding typical lakes(i.e.BanDeHu, YaXiCuo, MaZhangCuoQin, GeLeCuo, AngCuoQin) with salinity ranging from 0.96‰ to 14.72‰,and pH ranging from 8.89 to 9.63.In both rivers and lakes, altogether 25 taxa of macroinvertebrates belonging to 5 classes, 7 orders and 10 families were identified.Results showed that average density and biomass of macroinvertebrates were 36 individuals/m~2 and 0.22 g/m~2 in rivers, and 647 individuals/m~2 and 5.34 g/m~2 in lakes, respectively.The dominant species were Einfeldia sp.in rivers and Orthocladius sp.in lakes.Out of all the species in lakes, 83.3% were special to one single lake.Monte Carlo permutation test indicated that the most important factors influencing macroinvertebrate assemblage were alkalinity, total suspended solids, turbidity, pH, total dissolved solids, salinity and chlorophyll a.The ordination plot by Canonical Correspondence Analysis indicated that macroinvertebrates tended to cluster in the environment with relatively low alkalinity, high water clarity, low salinity, and high chlorophyll a.Our results suggest that the abundance and richness of macroinvertebrates in the source region of the Yangtze River may decrease with increasing turbidity caused by climate-driven runoff increase.Future macroinvertebrates studies in the source region of the Yangtze River may need to pay more attention on long-term ecological monitoring and assessment, and responses of macroinvertebrates to climate change.
Background The application of index of biotic integrity (IBI) to evaluate river health can be an essential method for river ecosystem management. However, these types of methods were developed in small, low-order streams, and are therefore, infrequently applied to large rivers. To that end, phytoplankton communities and environmental variables were monitored in 30 sampling segments of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China during the wet (July–August) and dry (November–December) seasons in 2017–2018. We developed a phytoplankton-based index of biotic integrity (P-IBI) and used the index to assess the ecological health of the Yangtze River. Relationships among P-IBI, its component metrics, and environmental factors were analyzed across different seasons. Results Results obtained from the P-IBI indicated that the phytoplankton-based ecological health of the Yangtze River was rated as “good” during both seasons, with an overall better condition in the dry season. During the wet season, there were scattered river segments with P-IBI ratings of “fair” or below. Water quality and land use appeared to shape the patterns of P-IBI. In the wet season, P-IBI negatively correlated with total phosphorus, nitrate, total suspended solids, turbidity, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. In the dry season, P-IBI positively correlated with total nitrogen, ammonium, and nitrite, and negatively correlated with water temperature. Conclusions The ecological health of the Yangtze River as reflected by the P-IBI exhibited spatial and temporal variability, with the effect of water quality being greater than that of local land use. This study indicated the importance of considering seasonal effects in detecting large river ecological health. These findings enhanced our understanding of the ecological health and characterized potential benchmarks for management of the Yangtze River. These findings also may be applicable to other large rivers elsewhere.

Regional sea level rise in the southeast Indian Ocean (SEIO) exerts growing threats to the surrounding Australian and Indonesian coasts, but the mechanisms of sea level rise have not been firmly established. By analyzing observational datasets and model results, this study investigates multidecadal steric sea level (SSL) rise of the SEIO since the mid-twentieth century, underscoring a significant role of ocean salinity change. The average SSL rising rate from 1960 through 2018 was 7.4 +/- 2.4 mm decade(-1), and contributions of the halosteric and thermosteric components were similar to 42% and similar to 58%, respectively. The notable salinity effect arises primarily from a persistent subsurface freshening trend at 400-1000 m. Further insights are gained through the decomposition of temperature and salinity changes into the heaving (vertical displacements of isopycnal surfaces) and spicing (density-compensated temperature and salinity change) modes. The subsurface freshening trend since 1960 is mainly attributed to the spicing mode, reflecting property modifications of the Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) in the southern Indian Ocean. Also noteworthy is a dramatic acceleration of SSL rise (20.3 +/- 7.0 mm decade(-1)) since similar to 1990, which was predominantly induced by the thermosteric component (16.3 +/- 5.5 mm decade(-1)) associated with the heaving mode. Enhanced Ekman downwelling by surface winds and radiation forcing linked to global greenhouse gas warming mutually caused the depression of isopycnal surfaces, leading to the accelerated SSL rise through thermosteric effect. This study highlights the complexity of regional sea level rise in a rapidly changing climate, in which the role of ocean salinity is vital and time-varying.

How various peoples crossed geographical barriers,were affected by climate change and human-made technologies comprise some of the most interesting quandaries in the history of cultures.This paper con-siders the Hu line,which is a major boundary between population centres and different environments in China.The boundary became evident approximately 11,400 years ago;however,evidence suggests that people crossed through at 5200,3800,and 2800 cal a BP,facilitating the increases of the trans-Eurasian exchange.The timings of the crossings correspond to the weakening of the East Asian summer monsoon that triggers seesaw changes of precipitation in western and eastern China.This analysis demonstrates that climate change on a millennial-to-centennial scale can have a profound influence on population dis-tribution with long-term consequences.
为加强长江源区水生态研究,于2017年丰水期调查了长江源区5个湖泊、5条河流的水质和鱼类资源状况,并研究了其空间格局.水质综合指数(WQI)计算结果显示,长江源区WQI范围为41~87,评价等级介于差到良好之间,大部分采样点的水质评价等级为一般,其中,班德湖的水质评价等级为良好.主成分分析结果显示,长江源区河流、淡水湖、微咸水湖和咸水湖的水质指标呈现出明显的空间差异.河流水质呈现出较高的总磷、总氮、硝态氮、总悬浮物和浊度,淡水湖呈现出较高的水温、溶解氧及WQI,咸水湖呈现出较高的总碱度、总硬度、盐度、电导率和pH.长江源区鱼类多样性较低,共调查到5种鱼类,包括小头高原鱼(Herzensteinia microcephalus)、裸腹叶须鱼(Ptychobarbus kaznakovi)、斯氏高原鳅(Triplophysa stoliczkae)、细尾高原鳅(Triplophysa stenura)和梭形高原鳅(Triplophysa leptosoma).对长江源区水质因子和鱼类群落进行皮尔逊相关分析显示,长江源区鱼类群落主要与水质指标中的浊度和盐度有关.为切实保护好长江源区水质和鱼类资源,建议加强科研监测,建立长江源区水生态数据库,建立土著鱼类种质资源库和基因库,预防和控制外来鱼类的引入,同时要加强鱼类栖息地保护.
城镇化背景下,河流生态系统退化趋势明显,有效评价河流生境状况是修复和保护河流生态系统健康的重要基础.深圳市作为全国经济发展的窗口城市,河流生境的调查研究十分匮乏.因此,为阐明深圳市不同城镇化程度的流域河流生境的差异与主要影响因素,对深圳市两个代表性流域的河流生境展开了研究.针对深圳市河流的生境特点,于2019年丰水期(8月)和枯水期(11月)对城镇化程度较高的深圳河流域的13个样点和城镇化程度较低的坪山河流域12个样点河段的生境状况进行定量调查与评价.采用综合评价法,从河床、河道和河岸带3个方面选取10个生境指标,构建深圳市河流生境评价指标体系和评价方法.结果 表明:深圳河流域河流生境质量总体较差,生境评价等级为"良"、"中"、"差"的样点河段分别占7.7%、38.5%、53.8%;坪山河流域河流生境质量总体较好,生境评价等级为"优"、"良"、"中"、"差"的样点河段分别占8.3%、41.7%、41.7%、8.3%.方差分析结果表明两次调查河流生境状况无显著性差异,短时间跨度内河流生境状况变化较小;两个流域河流生境状况差异显著,城镇化程度较低的坪山河流域河流生境质量显著好于城镇化程度较高的深圳河流域.河流生境评估指标主成分分析结果表明人类活动强度、河岸稳定性、河道变化、底质、河岸土地利用及植被多样性是影响深圳市河流生境变化的主要因子.本文对河床、河道、河岸带3个方面分别提出针对性的修复建议,对深圳市河流的生境修复和保护具有重要的指导作用.
Untangling relationships between landscape patterns shaped by human stressors and related response of fish communities is important for identifying biodiversity patterns and conservation targets, yet in large rivers this knowledge is extremely limited. Our study focuses on how human stressors within a riparian landscape zone, including both riparian land use and in-channel stressors, explained the fish community structure in a large river. We studied fish community patterns along the upstream-downstream gradient of the Yangtze River, China. The curve estimation was used to test correlations between fish metrics and the distance from the estuary. We linked human stressors to fish metrics by multivariate generalized linear models. We collected a total of 63 freshwater fish species from 6,147 specimens. Limnophilic species had the highest richness, represented by 30 specie. The predominant riparian land uses in the studied reaches were cropland (65.3% ± 13.1%) and urban land (19.7% ± 13.6%). There were strong negative correlations between riparian land use (e.g., urban land) and in-channel stressors (e.g., shoreline modification, navigation, and fishing pressure) and fish assemblages, especially limnophilic fish abundance, biomass, and richness. These results demonstrate influences of both riparian land use and in-channel stressors on fish communities, and highlight the use of landscape descriptors as a valuable approach to assess linkages between human pressures and fish diversity in large river systems. Management recommendations include: establishing or rehabilitating riparian buffers, improving commercial navigation management, implementing shoreline protection measures, and reinforcing fishing laws and regulations.
