Fish, as top predators in aquatic ecosystems, play an important role in maintaining the structure and functioning of these ecosystems, making their diversity a topic of great interest. This study focused on the Yangtze River Basin to investigate the fish community structure and diversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) technology. The results showed that a total of 71616 fish operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and 90 fish belonging to 23 families were detected, with the Cyprinidae family being the dominant group, followed by the Cobitidae, Amblycipitidae, etc.

- The study explores the use of glycolic acid-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to extract xylo-oligomers from corncob, achieving a yield of 65.9% under optimal conditions.
- The research shows that adding metal inorganic salts can enhance the extraction process, with AlCl promoting rapid xylan hydrolysis and FeCl leading to greater xylo-oligomer accumulation.
- Overall, the findings indicate that this method is effective for producing valuable biomass-derived products under mild conditions, potentially benefiting future bioconversion technologies.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the ecological security of watersheds in the mountainous Taizi River Basin, using a framework that assesses pressure, state, function, and response.
- An index system with various layers and components was created to analyze the health of 35 sub-watersheds, revealing that most were in a general secure or insecure status, with only a few classified as secure.
- Agricultural activities and habitat degradation, including water quality issues and loss of species, were identified as major threats to the area's ecological security, highlighting the need for targeted restoration efforts.
