Insights into the symbiotic relation between eukaryotic hosts and their microbiome lift curtain on crucial roles of microbes in host fitness, behavior, ecology. However, it remains unclear whether how abiotic stress shapes further affects adaptability. This study first investigated effect antibiotic exposure behavior across varying algae taxa at community level. Chlorophyta, particular Chlorella vulgaris, exhibited remarkable adaptability to stress, leading dominance phytoplankton...
Consistent individual differences in behavioral tendencies (animal personality) can affect mate choice decisions. We asked whether personality traits male and female decisions similarly potential effects are consistent across different situations. Using western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) as our study organism, we characterized focal individuals (males females) twice for boldness, activity, sociability/shoaling found high significant repeatability. Additionally, each was tested two...
Invasive species that rapidly spread throughout novel distribution ranges are prime models to investigate climate-driven phenotypic diversification on a contemporary scale. Previous studies adaptive along latitudinal gradients in fish have mainly considered body size and reported either increased or decreased towards higher latitudes (i.e. Bergmann's rule). Our study is the first divergence multiple traits, including sexually selected traits (size shape of male copulatory organ, gonopodium)...
Microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and protists, are key drivers in aquatic ecosystems, maintaining ecological balance normal material circulation, playing vital roles ecosystem functions biogeochemical processes. To evaluate the environmental impact of different river crab polyculture practices, we set up two (Eriocheir sinensis) practices: one where crabs were cultured with mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), freshwater stone moroko...
Abstract Multiple paternity (MP) increases offspring's genetic variability, which could be linked to invasive species' evolvability in novel distribution ranges. Shifts MP can adaptive, with greater harsher/colder environments or towards the end of reproductive season, but climate also affect indirectly via its effect on life histories. We tested these hypotheses by genotyping N = 2,903 offspring from 306 broods two closely related livebearing fishes, Gambusia holbrooki and affinis . sampled...
Hepatic steatosis is prevalent among cultured fish, yet the molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to assess changes in hepatic metabolic function tilapia and explore underlying through transcriptomic analyses. Tilapia were allocated into two groups: a normal control (Ctr)-fed group high-fat diet (HFD)-fed group. Serum biochemical analyses revealed that HFD feeding led liver damage lipid accumulation, characterized by elevated levels of glutamic-pyruvic...
In aquatic benthic environments, organisms have been found to regulate important biogeochemical characteristics and perform key ecosystem functions. To further explore the ecological impact of snail Bellamya purificata’s, presence on environment, we employed high-throughput sequencing technology investigate its effects bacterial, fungal, protist communities in sediment their intrinsic interactions. Our findings revealed that B. purificata’s significantly enhanced diversity evenness fungal...
Snail Bellamya purificata is not only useful for bioremediation, purifying aquaculture environments, but it also a commercially valuable and nutritionally rich aquatic product. To analyze the effect of various stocking densities on muscle nutritional quality metabolic functions B. purificata. The transcriptome metabolome were analyzed set up three different density groups—low (LD, 234.38 g/m2), medium (MD, 468.75 high (HD, 937.5 g/m2). results study showed that weight gain (WG) specific...
Integrated rice–fish farming is an innovative agricultural production pattern that combines rice cultivation with fish farming, enhancing productivity and ensuring food security. Partitioned advancement of the traditional approach, addresses challenges such as difficulties in harvesting inconveniences mechanized operations encountered paddy fields. To evaluate environmental impacts partitioned on ecosystem, we investigated diversity, composition, functionality, co-occurrence networks,...
As global food security issues become increasingly severe, an important innovation in agricultural production patterns, namely integrated rice–fish farming, has been widely implemented around the world, especially Asia. To assess impact of rice–crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) farming (IRCF) on ecosystems, we used Illumina high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze differences diversity, composition, co-occurrence network, and assembly process planktonic bacterial communities paddy...
In this protocol, we used computer animated stimuli for two mate choice tests of Gambusia affinis, such that stimulus pairs differed only by (a) body size and (b) locomotor activity, but not in other morphological or behavioural traits could affect decisions.
This protocal characterized each focal fish (western mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis) for three standard indicators of personality using well-established experimental approaches: (1) boldness as latency to emerge from shelter and enter an unknown area, (2) activity in open field tank (3) sociability (i.e., shoaling tendencies), estimated the time spent vicinity a group conspecifics. We tested twice its on two successive days, which allowed us test behavioral repeatability across both assessments.
