Article Synopsis
  • A high-throughput sequencing method was used to study nematode communities in the humus and soil surface layers of a forest, resulting in over 5.7 million sequences and identification of 44 nematode families.
  • In the humus layer, the Tylenchidae family dominated, with bacterivorous, fungivorous, and herbivorous groups being the most common, while the soil surface layer was dominated by Mononchidae, noted for its higher number of predatory nematodes.
  • Although no significant differences in overall community diversity were found between the two layers, the humus layer had lower diversity at the family level, and notable differences were observed in community composition and structure between the two habitats.

The role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways in cell growth and differentiation has been well established. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-proliferative effect of stevioside on human colon cancer HT-29 cells. Additionally, the effect of stevioside on cell cycle arrest and MAPK signaling pathways in HT-29 cells was explored.

The organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), the morphological changes of phosphorus and the particle size in columnar sediment core of Xidahai Lake were analyzed, to discuss the vertical distribution characteristics and influencing factors. The results showed that the contents of OM, TN and TP were 0. 633% -2.

One sediment core was obtained from the center of Yamenqi Lake at the Songnen Plain in eastern China in August 2010 using a gravity corer. The sediment samples were digested using HNO3-HClO4-HF. Concentrations of the metals Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Fe, Pb, Zn, Cd, Al, Ba, Ca, K, Li, Mg, Na and Sr were determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Based on the investigations of fish resources in Jingpo Lake and Wudalianchi Lakes in 2008-2011 and the historical data, this paper analyzed the characteristics of ichthyofauna and its community diversity in volcanic barrier lakes of Northeast China. The ichthyofauna in the volcanic barrier lakes of Northeast China was consisted of 64 native species, belonging to 47 genera, 16 families, and 9 orders, among which, one species was the second class National protected wild animal, four species were Chinese endemic species, and five species were Chinese vulnerable species. In the 64 recorded species, there were 44 species of Cypriniformes order and 37 species of Cyprinidae family dominated, respectively.
