Article Synopsis
  • Environmental RNA viruses are widespread and diverse, playing significant roles in ecosystems, but our understanding is limited due to sampling biases and a focus on pathogenic viruses.
  • Researchers in China collected metatranscriptomic sequence data from 32 environments, discovering 6,624 potential new virus types from various samples, thus broadening the knowledge of the RNA virosphere.
  • The study found that virus diversity is influenced by local factors such as organic matter and eukaryotic species, particularly affecting plant, fungal, and bacterial viruses more than animal viruses.

In this study, the complete mitogenome of the Caroun croaker was obtained. Its mitogenome is 18,752 bp in length, consisting of 37 genes with the typical gene order and direction of transcription in vertebrates. Gene rearrangement was found in , same as another two species available in GenBank, (MF083699) and (KC491206).

To understand the roles of copepod in the biogeochemical cycling of phosphorus, gut fluorescence method was applied to examine in situ the grazing rate of copepod on the phytoplankton in Xiamen Time Station (XMTS) in May, August and November 2005 and March 2006. In the meanwhile, the abundance and species composition of copepod were investigated, and the grazing pressure of copepod on the phytoplankton was estimated. The results showed that the annual average grazing rate of copepod was 55.
