Summary: This study investigated the genetic structure and its association with geographical and climatic factors in three butterfly species. The results showed differences between species in genetic structure and how it was associated with climate. Geographical proximity played a significant role in genetic structure and evolutionary relationships. Solar radiation and precipitation were associated with genetic structure on a regional scale, but the specific combinations of factors linked to variation within species were unique. The findings highlight the importance of comparative phylogeographical studies in sympatric sister species.

Summary: In this study, the distribution, genetic diversity, and genetic structure of blue oat mites in winter wheat regions of China were evaluated using mitochondrial COI sequences. The study found that blue oat mite species, including Penthaleus major and P. tectus, are widely distributed pests that cause damage to winter wheat in China. P. major exhibited high genetic diversity, while P. tectus showed low genetic diversity, indicating a recent founder event. Additionally, P. major displayed significant genetic differentiation compared to P. tectus, providing a theoretical basis for its widespread distribution in China.

Summary: This study determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the Pseudaspius leptocephalus fish and evaluated the genetic diversity of four populations in the Heilongjiang River Basin using COI partial sequences. The results showed variable sites and haplotypes in the COI gene, and nucleotide and haplotype diversity varied among populations. Moderate genetic differentiation was observed between the EH population and others, but individuals from EH population could mate randomly with individuals from other populations. Neutrality tests indicated population expansion in the MH and FY populations, but mismatch distribution analysis suggested overall population stability. These findings contribute to the protection and utilization of P. leptocephalus germplasm resources and provide valuable information on its population structure and genetic diversity.

Summary: This study investigated the population genetics of Propylea japonica in China using nuclear microsatellite sites and mitochondrial COI genes. The results showed moderate genetic diversity in the microsatellite dataset and high genetic diversity in the mitochondrial genes. Populations from the Yellow River basin had higher genetic diversity than those from the Yangtze River basin. While there was no significant genealogical structure, there was some population structure signal, possibly due to gene flow between populations.

Summary: Seaweeds are nutrient-rich and consuming them can provide important health benefits. However, the flavor of seaweed is important for consumer acceptance, and volatile compounds play a key role. This article reviews the extraction methods and composition of volatile compounds from various seaweed species. Research shows that these compounds mainly consist of aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, hydrocarbons, esters, acids, sulfur compounds, furans, and other compounds in small amounts.

Summary: A 16-year-long green tide phenomenon in the Southern Yellow Sea (SYS) has raised concern. This study identified six species of green macroalgae and one species of green alga in Binhai Harbor, Jiangsu Province, China. The study also found that Binhai Harbor may not be a major source of the green tide in the SYS.

Summary: With global warming, golden tides have become frequent off the coasts of China in recent years. This study examines the effects of global warming on the growth and proliferation of Sargassum horneri in the mussel aquaculture area of Gouqi Island. The relationship between algal growth and temperature is analyzed based on the concept of effective accumulated temperature and parameters such as sea surface temperature and growth cycle. The findings suggest that temperature plays a crucial role in the outbreak and extinction of golden tides, and a monitoring system based on winter sea surface temperature changes can be established for early warning.

Summary: Since 2007, the dominant species of the green tide in the Southern Yellow Sea has been identified as Ulva prolifera. This study investigated the differences in morphology, growth, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and chloroplast pigment content among different day-aged U. prolifera gametophytes. The results revealed significant differences in growth rates, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and chloroplast pigment contents among different day-aged gametophytes, providing important reference information for green tide prevention and outbreak mechanism research.

Summary: Large numbers of Amphipoda feed on floating green tide macroalgae in the Yellow Sea, with Ampithoe valida being the most abundant species in stable and decline periods. Ampithoe valida has a preference for Ulva as a food source. The physiological responses of A. valida to different temperatures, salinities, and pH levels, as well as its feeding potential on Ulva prolifera, were investigated. The study also explored the potential of using A. valida as a biological method to control green tide outbreaks in the Southern Yellow Sea.

Summary: Golden tide macroalgae in the Southern Yellow Sea have caused significant damage to the local coastal economy and ecosystems. This study identified the floating macroalgae as Sargassum horneri and discovered 28 epizoans, including four crustacean species, on the macroalgae. Further research is needed to understand the role of these epizoans in the golden tide and their ecological significance.

Summary: Green tides are a common phenomenon in many sea areas worldwide, with Ulva spp. being the primary cause in China. Human activities and seawater eutrophication are the main factors contributing to the formation of green tides in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea. This study examined the shedding rate of green tide algae and its correlation with environmental factors in Binhai Harbor. The results showed that although the shedding rate was not correlated with pH, sea surface temperature, or salinity, the environmental conditions were favorable for the proliferation of Ulva meridionalis. Based on these findings, the study highlights the potential ecological risks posed by U. meridionalis in the Yellow Sea due to increased human activities along the coast.
