To understand the wetland soil fungal community structure and diversity in different degeneration wetlands, the topsoil (0-20) of three different degeneration wetlands were collected in the Sanjiang Plain field experiment station of the Institute of Nature and Ecology, Heilongjiang Academy of Sciences. The distribution and variation of soil fungal diversity were assessed by high-throughput sequencing method. The results showed that Shannon-Wiener index increased from marsh wetland marsh meadow wetland meadow wetland. Sequence blast showed that the fungal taxonomy belonged to Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Fungi_unclassified, Zygomycota, which dominant fungi were Fungi_unclassified (75.12%),Ascomycetes (56. 56%), Basidiomycetes (72.65%) in the three degeneration wetlands, respectively. The fungal structure compositions and diversities of marsh meadow wetland and meadow wetland were similar according to Heatmap analysis. The fungal community structure was influenced by soil nutrients (explained 88.62%) and plant composition (explained 9.85%) through the Variation partition analysis (VPA). In conclusion, the fungal community structure was significantly different, which was influenced by soil water content, in different degeneration wetlands in Sanjiang plain. The results may supply scientific basis for studying fungal diversity and spatial heterogeneity in degeneration wetlands.

Article Synopsis
  • Limbs are a key feature of tetrapods, but some species, especially amphibians and reptiles, have lost them to adapt to different environments, prompting research into the genetic reasons behind this.
  • The study focuses on the Banna caecilian, a limbless amphibian, and compares its genome with other species to identify specific genes related to limb development that have been lost or altered.
  • Findings show that both caecilians and snakes have a unique set of conserved genetic elements linked to limb loss, which may play an important role in limb development evolution across tetrapods, providing new insights into how species adapt morphologically over time.

Article Synopsis
  • The freshwater fish genus being studied consists of 75 known species, making it the largest group of cavefish, exhibiting specific adaptations for living in cave environments, such as eye degeneration and skin depigmentation.
  • The research focuses on a peculiar behavior called wall-following (WF), which is thought to be more pronounced in eyeless species of cavefish compared to their normal- or micro-eyed counterparts.
  • Findings reveal that eyeless cavefish show significantly stronger wall-following behavior, indicating this trait is likely an ancestral behavior enhanced by adaptations for life in dark, subterranean habitats.

is a prevalent species in the Chongming Dongtan wetland and is capable of thriving in various tidal flat environments, including high salinity habitats. population displays inconsistent ecological performances, highlighting the need to uncover their survival strategies and mechanisms in tidal flats with diverse soil salinities. Upon comparing functional traits of at multiple tidal flats (low, middle, and high) and their responses to soil physicochemical properties, this study aimed to clarify the salt-tolerant strategy of and the corresponding mechanisms.

Decryption of the survival "black box": gene family expansion promotes the encystment in ciliated protists.

BMC Genomics

March 2024

Laboratory of Biodiversity and Evolution of Protozoa in Wetland, College of Life Sciences, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi'an, 710119, China.

Background: Encystment is an important survival strategy extensively employed by microbial organisms to survive unfavorable conditions. Single-celled ciliated protists (ciliates) are popular model eukaryotes for studying encystment, whereby these cells degenerate their ciliary structures and develop cyst walls, then reverse the process under more favorable conditions. However, to date, the evolutionary basis and mechanism for encystment in ciliates is largely unknown.

How does exotic Spartina alterniflora affect the contribution of iron-bound organic carbon to soil organic carbon in salt marshes?

Iron-bound organic carbon (OC-Fe) is important for the stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) in salt marshes, and the Spartina alterniflora invasion reshaped local salt marshes and changed the SOC pool. To evaluate the effects of S. alterniflora invasion on the contribution of OC-Fe to SOC, we determined the OC-Fe content and soil characteristics in the 0-50 cm soil profile along the vegetation sequence, including mudflats (MF), S.
