“…The GPs living in captivity monitored frequently and received regular medical care, which can provide selective pressure for the acquisition of ARGs in the gut of captive GPs and therefore taken as a possible factor for the contribution in an increased abundance of ARGs [ 9 ]. Another vital route for the spread of these ARGs is air pollution that has risen remarkably in recent years in the Sichuan province [ 44 , 45 ]. Human contact with GPs in captivity could be taken as another source for these ARGs [ 43 , 46 ].…”

Background The gut microbiome is essential for the host’s health and serves as an essential reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). We investigated the effects of different factors, including the dietary shifts and age, on the functional characteristics of the giant panda’s gut microbiome (GPs) through shotgun metagenome sequencing. We explored the association between gut bacterial genera and ARGs within the gut based on network analysis. Results Fecal samples (n=60) from captive juvenile, adult, and geriatric GPs were processed, and variations were identified in the gut microbiome according to different ages, the abundance of novel ARGs and the biosynthesis of antibiotics. Among 667 ARGs identified, nine from the top ten ARGs had a higher abundance in juveniles. For 102 ARGs against bacteria, a co-occurrence pattern revealed a positive association for predominant ARGs with Streptococcus. A comparative KEGG pathways analysis revealed an abundant biosynthesis of antibiotics among three different groups of GPs, where it was more significantly observed in the juvenile group. A co-occurrence pattern further revealed a positive association for the top ten ARGs, biosynthesis of antibiotics, and metabolic pathways. Conclusion Gut of GPs serve as a reservoir for novel ARGs and biosynthesis of antibiotics. Dietary changes and age may influence the gut microbiome’s functional characteristics; however, it needs further studies to ascertain the study outcomes.

“…Some studies selected entire China as the study region (Chen and Sun, 2015;Sun et al, 2015;Yuan et al, 2017), Ma and Fu (2006) focused on entire Northern China, and Hu et al (2019) focused on the arid regions of Central Asia including the five states of Central Asia and northwestern China wherein all provided important evidence for arid-humid variations in climate and its possible influence mechanism at large spatial scales. However, arid-humid variations in climate and its possible influence mechanism still necessitate a more detailed discussion at a secondary spatial scale (Huang et al, 2019) and especially in the areas of the climate transition zone such as the transition zone between Asian monsoon and westerly winds. The present study mainly focused on the spatial variations in the summer climate in the Asian monsoon margin of Northwest China and especially in different regions in the Alashan Plateau.…”

In the Asian monsoon margin of Northwest China, the impact factors for variations in the aridity and humidity of the summer climate are complex and unclear. In this study, we selected the Alashan Plateau, located in the midlatitude arid zone and the Asian monsoon margin of Northwest China, as the study area. Changes in the aridity index K (a proxy for the arid-humid variations in the summer climate of the Alashan Plateau) were calculated for the period 1960-2010 using meteorological data. Relationships among the aridity index K, changes in the intensity of atmospheric circulations, and local precipitation and evaporation in summer are discussed. The results indicated that the

“…A previous study estimated the minimum ecological water requirement based on the data from the impacted river reach downstream of the hydropower station (Li et al, 2008). Seasonal changes should be considered when the required ecological discharge varies during different periods of the year (Li et al, 2012a,b;Huang et al, 2019). However, many studies have not considered the seasonal changes.…”

An Environmental Flow Framework for Riverine Macroinvertebrates During Dry and Wet Seasons Through Non-linear Ecological Modeling

A suitable environmental flow is critical for the functional maintenance of riverine ecosystems. Hydropower plants alter the flow regime by decreasing or even drying up the streamflow downstream of the dams, thereby affecting ecosystem sustainability. In this study, we aimed to develop a robust environmental flow framework that can provide scientific evidence for sustainable water resource management. Using ecological niche modeling based on non-linear responses of species to habitat factors, we assessed the environmental flow in the Xiangxi River Basin of Central China during dry and wet seasons from a multi-year perspective. The most abundant macroinvertebrate taxon (i.e., Baetis) was selected for model testing. The results showed seasonal differences in the minimum ecological water requirements and optimal environmental flow. These two hydrological metrics were higher during the wet season than during the dry season. During the dry season, the minimum ecological water requirement of Baetis was 1.3 m3·s−1, and the optimal environmental flow was 1.6 m3·s−1. During the wet season, the minimum ecological water requirement of Baetis was 2.5 m3·s−1, and the optimal environmental flow was 2.6 m3·s−1. This study provides a theoretical basis for the robust management of water resources in river basins.
