Topology-based analysis of pelagic food web structure in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean based on longline observer data
Qinqin Lin, Jiangfeng Zhu
2020, 39(6): 1-9. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1592-2
Abstract:
The tropical Pacific Ocean supports many productive commercial fisheries. However, few studies of ecosystem structure in the tropical Pacific Ocean have been carried out. In this study, we analyzed the food web structure in the central and eastern tr...
Spatiotemporal variations of benthic macrofaunal community in the Xiamen Amphioxus Nature Reserve, eastern South China Sea
Yiyong Rao, Lizhe Cai, Wenjun Li, Xinwei Chen, Deyuan Yang
2020, 39(6): 10-18. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1587-z
Abstract:
In order to realize the spatiotemporal variations of benthic macrofaunal communities at the “Amphioxus Sand” habitat, six surveys including four seasons and three consecutive summers (i.e., 2014, 2015 and 2016) were conducted in two core sites, i.e.,...
Effects of osmotic stress on the expression profiling of aquaporin genes in the roughskin sculpin (Trachidermus fasciatus)
Qian Ma, Xinfu Liu, Ang Li, Shufang Liu, Zhimeng Zhuang
2020, 39(6): 19-25. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1594-0
Abstract:
Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of integral membrane proteins that have been shown to be important for osmoregulation in many vertebrates. To identify potential stress resistance-related aqp genes in salinity adaptation of the roughskin sculpin Trachi...
Morphological and molecular evidence supports the first occurrence of two fishes, Siganus sutor (Valenciennes, 1835) and Seriolina nigrofasciata (Rüppell, 1829) (Actinopterygii: Perciformes), from marine waters of Odisha coast, Bay of Bengal, India
Tapan K. Barik, Surya N. Swain, Bijayalaxmi Sahu, Bibarani Tripathy, Usha R. Acharya
2020, 39(6): 26-35. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1609-x
Abstract:
Marine ecosystems provide a wide variety of diverse habitats that frequently promote migration and ecological adaptation. The extent to which the geographic distribution of marine organism has reshaped by human activities remains underappreciated. Th...
Optimization of environmental variables in habitat suitability modeling for mantis shrimp Oratosquilla oratoria in the Haizhou Bay and adjacent waters
Yunlei Zhang, Huaming Yu, Haiqing Yu, Binduo Xu, Chongliang Zhang, Yiping Ren, Ying Xue, Lili Xu
2020, 39(6): 36-47. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1546-8
Abstract:
Habitat suitability index (HSI) models have been widely used to analyze the relationship between species abundance and environmental factors, and ultimately inform management of marine species. The response of species abundance to each environmental ...
Impacts of the sampling design on the abundance index estimation of Portunus trituberculatus using bottom trawl
Chunyang Sun, Yingbin Wang
2020, 39(6): 48-57. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1607-z
Abstract:
In the survey of fishery resources, the sampling design will directly impact the accuracy of the estimation of the abundance. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the sampling design to increase the quality of fishery surveys. The distribution and ...
Cloning and functional analysis of the calreticulin gene from the scleractinian coral Galaxea astreata
Yuanjia Huang, Yanping Zhang, Huipai Peng, Jigui Yuan, Li Liu
2020, 39(6): 58-64. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1590-4
Abstract:
Calreticulin (CRT) is a highly conserved Ca2+-binding protein and chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum, which mainly participates in adjusting calcium level and directing proper conformation of proteins. Here, we cloned the crt gene of the scleract...
Tintinnid community throughout the Bohai Sea during the spring
Ying Yu, Feng Zhou, Wuchang Zhang, Chen Wei, Qunshan Wang, Enjun Fang
2020, 39(6): 65-71. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1588-y
Abstract:
As one of the important microzooplankton in marine pelagic habitats, tintinnids are classified as neritic genera, oceanic genera and cosmopolitan genera. Until now, we know little about the interaction between neritic and oceanic genera in continenta...
Coupling virio- and bacterioplankton populations with environmental variable changes in the Bohai Sea
Caixia Wang, Lin Wu, Yibo Wang, James S. Paterson, James G. Mitchell, Xiaoke Hu
2020, 39(6): 72-83. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1591-3
Abstract:
Uncovering the role of environmental factors and finding critical factors which harbor significant fractions in governing microbial communities remain key questions in coastal marine systems. To detect the interactions between environmental factors a...
