Two new species of Amphinemura (Plecoptera, Nemouridae) from the southern Qinling Mountains of China, based on male, female and larvae.

ABSTRACT: Two new species of the genus Amphinemura, A.albicauda sp. n. and A.dingoidea sp. n. from the southern Qinling Mountains, Foping County of Shaanxi Province, western China, are described based on both sexes and the larval stage. The new species are compared with related taxa, and the A.sinensis species group is defined for an Oriental lineage of the genus. Amphinemurasinensis (Wu, 1926) and A.unihamata (Wu, 1973) are reported from Shaanxi for the first time, and the hitherto unknown female of A.unihamata is described. A distribution map of the Amphinemurinae known from Qinling Mountains is given.

Two new species of the stonefly genus Amphinemura (Insecta, Plecoptera, Nemouridae) from China.

Project description:Two new species of the genus Amphinemura Ris from China are described and illustrated, i.e. A. annulata Du & Ji, sp. n. from Zhejiang, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Guizhou Province, and A. lingulata Du & Wang, sp. n. from Shaanxi and Sichuan Province. A. annulata is similar to A. tricintusidens Wang & Zhu in having an apical cavity of the epiproct, but the epiproct ventral sclerite and the median paraproct lobe of the two species are different. A. lingulata is related to A. didyma Zhu & Yang in having the similar epiproct, but they differ mostly in paraproct median and outer lobes.

Mitochondrial genomes of Nemourinae species (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) and the phylogenetic implications.

Project description:Currently, the classification system of 2 subfamilies within Nemouridae has been widely accepted. However, monophyly of 2 subfamilies has not been well supported by molecular evidence. To date, only mitogenomes from genus Nemoura of the subfamily Nemourinae were used in previous phylogenetic studies and produced conflicting results with morphological studies. Herein, we analyzed mitogenomes of 3 Nemourinae species to reveal their mitogenomic characteristics and to examine genus-level classification among Nemouridae. In this study, the genome organization of 3 mitogenomes is highly conserved in gene order, nucleotide composition, codon usage, and amino acid composition. In 3 Nemourinae species, there is a high variation in nucleotide diversity among the 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs). The Ka/Ks values for all PCGs were far lower than 1, indicating that these genes were evolving under purifying selection. The phylogenetic analyses highly support Nemurella as the sister group to Ostrocerca. Meanwhile, Nemoura is recovered as the sister group of Malenka; they are grouped with other Amphinemurinae and emerged from a paraphyletic Nemourinae. More molecular data from different taxonomic groups are needed to understand stoneflies phylogeny and evolution.

Spatial patterns of dominant bacterial community components and their influential factors in the southern Qinling Mountains, China.

Project description:IntroductionSoil bacteria not only maintain the biodiversity of forest ecosystems but also affect soil nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. Nonetheless, the spatial pattern and patchy distribution of dominant bacterial community components in soil are still rarely explored.MethodThe spatial pattern and distribution of the dominant bacterial community components and their influential factors were investigated using traditional statistics, geostatistics, and kriging spatial interpolation methods in the Huoditang region of the Qinling Mountains, China.ResultsThe dominant bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi, Rokubacteria, Actinobacteria, and Verrucomicrobia in this region. Among the bacterial phyla, Proteobacteria occupied an area of 2.56 km2 (the greatest) in the highest patch category, followed by Planctomycetes. Moreover, among the lowest patch category, Firmicutes occupied the lowest area (11.93 km2). The results of kriging maps showed that the dominant bacterial group presented "peak," "bimodal," and "multimodal" distributions in Huoditang. Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi, Gemmatimonadetes, Nitrospirae, and ASV (amplicon sequence variants) had significant spatial autocorrelation (< 0.68 km). Variance partitioning analysis confirmed that soil nutrients (36.5%) were the significant driving factors shaping the bacterial community structure, followed by environmental factors (28.2%) and topographic factors (7.8%). Furthermore, pH (9.1%), soil organic carbon (SOC, 6.6%), available phosphorus (AP, 4.7%), and elevation (3.9%) were the most important driving factors for the spatial distribution of bacterial community groups in the Huoditang Forest of the Qinling Mountains. The findings provide a new perspective for studying the spatial distribution characteristics and driving factors of dominant soil bacterial community components in subtropical forest ecosystems.

A new species of Protonemura Kempny, 1898 (Plecoptera, Nemouridae) from Albania.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough studies of the entomofauna of the Balkan Peninsula have increased in quantity and intensity over the course of the last decades, many areas are still not fully investigated regarding their faunistic inventory.New informationAs a result of a field trip in the Vjosa catchment in 2023, a new species of the genus Protonemura Kempny, 1898 (Plecoptera, Nemouridae, Amphinemurinae) is described from Albania, Protonemuraeclipsis sp. nov. from a holotype male, collected from the District of Tepelenë, Bënçë River. The new species is compared and differentiated from related species, namely Protonemuraalbanica Raušer, 1963 and Protonemuramiatchense Ikonomov, 1983. It differs from congeners clearly by its terminalia, namely the shape of the paraprocts. Images of the new species and of Protonemuraalbanica are provided.

The complete mitochondrial genome of a stonefly species, Indonemoura auriformis (Plecoptera: Nemouridae).

Project description:One new mitochondrial genome of Indonemoura auriformis from the family Nemouridae (Insecta: Plecoptera) was sequenced in the study. The mitochondrial genome has the length of 15,718?bp, encoding 37 genes: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The whole nucleotide composition biased adenine and thymine with A?+?T accounting for 69.9%. Nine PCGs and 14 tRNA genes are encoded in the J chain, the other four PCGs, eight tRNAs, and two rRNA genes are encoded in the chain of N. The mitochondrial genome includes 13 gene overlaps and 12 intergenic spacers. Most PCGs strictly use the ATN as start codon, and terminate with traditional stop codon (TAA and TAG). Except the tRNASer(AGN) seems to lack dihydrogen glycine arm, all tRNA genes of the mitochondrial genome are the typical clover secondary structure. The phylogenetic tree of PCGs dataset based on bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) analysis show the same tree topology. Both ML and BI analysis support the sister-group relationship between Amphinemuria and Nemoura. Meanwhile, Capniidae is closely related to Taeniopterygidae.

Postconflict behavior among Rhinopithecus roxellana leader males in the Qinling Mountains, China.

Project description:Since reconciliation was first described more than 20 years ago, a large number of postconflict behaviors have been observed among females in many polygynous primate species. However, few studies have been conducted among males, perhaps due to the rarity with which they maintain friendly relationships with one another and their aggressive competition for resources. Although this is true for many primate males, Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys Rhinopithecus roxellana represent a potential exception as male cooperation has been known to occur. In this study, using postconflict/matched-control(PC-MC) and time-rule methods, we analyzed postconflict behavior among males and the possible occurrence of bystander affiliation or reconciliation. A total of 246 PC-MC pairs among leader males were obtained. On average, each leader male exhibited only 0.04 aggressive behaviors per observation hour, and conciliation among leader males occurred at a low rate (2.03%) relative to other primate species. The occurrence of consolation-affiliation interactions between focal males and group members other than former opponents differed significantly between PCs and MCs, which is the first time this has been confirmed among R. roxellana males. We discuss the results in light of recent theories concerning consolation in primates. The patterns of postconflict contact demonstrated that R. roxellana may be a unique species among colobines.
