Dissecting complex interactions between species and their environments has long been a research hot spot in the fields of ecology evolutionary biology. The well-recognized Darwinian evolution well-explained long-term adaptation scenarios; however, "rapid" processes biological responses to environmental changes remain largely unexplored, particularly molecular mechanisms such as DNA methylation that have recently proposed play crucial roles rapid adaptation. Invasive species, which capacities...
Abstract The release of anthropogenic pollution into freshwater ecosystems has largely transformed biodiversity and its geographical distribution patterns globally. However, for many communities including ecologically crucial ones such as zooplankton, it is unknown how different respond to environmental pollution. Collectively, dispersal species sorting are two competing processes in determining the structure zooplankton running water rivers. At fine scales, usually considered dominant...
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) has increasingly been used to detect rare species (e.g., newly introduced nonindigenous species) in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, often with distinct advantages over traditional methods. However, whether water eDNA signals can be inform invasion risks remains debatable owing inherent uncertainties associated the methods varying conditions among study systems. Here, we sampled from canals of central route South‐to‐North Water Diversion Project...
Biofouling mediated by byssus adhesion in invasive bivalves has become a global environmental problem aquatic ecosystems, resulting negative ecological and economic consequences. Previous studies suggested that mechanisms responsible for largely vary among bivalves, but it is poorly understood freshwater species. Understanding of structure protein composition the prerequisite revealing these mechanisms. Here, we used multiple methods, including scanning electron microscope, liquid...
Abstract Detection of species in nature at very low abundance requires innovative methods. Conventional PCR (cPCR) and real‐time quantitative (qPCR) are two widely used approaches employed environmental DNA (eDNA) detection, though lack a comprehensive comparison them impedes method selection. Here we test detection capacity false negative rate both using samples with different expected complexities. We compared cPCR qPCR to detect invasive, biofouling golden mussels ( Limnoperna fortunei ),...
Abstract Dispersal, rather than species sorting, is widely recognized as the dominant driver for determining meta‐community structure at fine geographical scales in running water ecosystems. However, this view has been challenged by a recently proposed “fine‐scale sorting hypothesis,” where community can be largely determined an environmental gradient formed local pollution scales. Here, we tested hypothesis studying composition and distribution of metazoan zooplankton heavily polluted...
Cyrtodactylus species are the most diverse of geckos and widely distributed in Southeast Asia, including Thailand. However, their patterns distribution, especially northern western parts Thailand, remain unknown because few these regions have been described. Thus, a data set mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase 2 (ND2) gene flanking tRNAs from found contiguous areas, was assembled to elucidate phylogenetic relationships identify distribution geckos. The results showed four well-supported clades,...
While adaptation is commonly thought to result from selection on DNA sequence-based variation, recent studies have highlighted an analogous epigenetic component as well. However, the relative roles of these mechanisms in facilitating population persistence under environmental heterogeneity remain unclear. To address underlying genetic and their relationship during adaptation, we screened genomes epigenomes nine global populations a predominately sessile marine invasive tunicate, Botryllus...
Abstract Mesozooplankton communities in marine ecosystems are mainly influenced by both anthropogenic pollutants (e.g. nutrients and heavy metals) natural variables temperature, salinity geographic distance). To achieve a deeper understanding of the effects on mesozooplankton communities, we analyzed community structure from 91 stations representing five typical estuarine regions Bohai Sea assessed relative importance using multiple statistical approaches. Cd was identified as leading...
Global climate change is expected to accelerate biological invasions, necessitating accurate risk forecasting and management strategies. However, current invasion assessments often overlook adaptive genomic variation, which plays a significant role in the persistence expansion of invasive populations. Here, we used Molgula manhattensis, highly ascidian, as model assess its risks along Chinese coasts under change. Through population genomics analyses, identified two genetic clusters, north...
Species distribution models (SDMs) have been widely used to predict potentially suitable habitats for invasive alien species (IAS) and evaluate invasion risk. However, SDMs discredited because they ignore the physiological processes by which respond their environment. Integrating tolerance into model is essential improve prediction accuracy of SDMs. Currently, this approach has not applied in study worldwide species, red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans), one world's 100 worst...
Biological response to rapid changing environments is an outstanding research question in ecology and evolution. invasions provide excellent "natural" experiments study such a complex process, as invaders often encounter rapidly during biological invasions. The regulation of heat shock proteins (Hsp) common pathway responsible for various environmental stresses; however, the comprehensive on Hsp system across whole genome potential roles determining invasion success are still largely...
Abstract Elucidating molecular mechanisms of environment‐driven adaptive evolution in marine invaders is crucial for understanding invasion success and further predicting their future invasions. Although increasing evidence suggests that could contribute to organisms’ adaptation varied environments, there remain knowledge gaps regarding how environments influence genomic variation invaded habitats genetic bases underlying local most invaders. Here, we performed restriction‐site‐associated...
