A cascading reaction by hydrological spatial dynamics alternation may be neglected
Water regime changes play a critical role in the structure and function of watershed ecosystems. However, most previous studies focused only on static fixed-point quantitative change at a given time, ignoring the hydrological spatial distribution states ...

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Abstract The coastal-estuary area is one of the areas most seriously affected by human activities, and the quality of the water environment has received extensive attention from society and scholars. In order to analyze the characteristics of pollutant transport in the Yangtze River Estuary, a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the ...

Offspring phenotypes are affected by genotype, parental salt stress, and offspring salt stress. Parental salt stress can influence offspring phenotypes through associated changes in DNA methylation. Multigenerational salt stress induces cumulative inheritable epigenetic changes.

This study applied otolith morphology and microchemistry to analyze two sister fish species along the China coast. It revealed that B. sinensis from the contact zone migrates to low‐salinity estuaries to breed, whereas other groups reside permanently in high‐salinity waters, indicating ecological divergence.
