Urbanization enhances consumer protist-driven ARGs dissemination in riverine ecosystems by Bob Adyari, Lanping Zhang, Ana Maravić, Jiaxin Chen, Laiyi Li, Mahmoud Gad, Chang-Ping Yu, Anyi Hu

“…We collected water samples from the highly urbanized (western: 65 % built land, sewage-affected) and lesser-urbanized (northern: 25 % built land, drinking water source) downstream tributaries of the Jiulong River in southeast China over dry and wet seasons. We utilized metagenomic and amplicon (16S and 18S rDNA) sequencing to investigate the relationships among microeukaryotic algae, consumer protists, bacterial communities, and the resistome. …”

Complexity of near-surface deformation and subsurface structure of the Chihshang creeping fault-line scarp, eastern Taiwan: insights from integration of geological and geophysical... by W. J. Huang, M. T. Fitrianto, C. C. Chen, P. Y. Chang, I. C. Yen, M. Le Béon, S. T. Lu

“…We found that (1) the Chihshang main fault is a contact of alluvium deposits and the mudstone of Lichi mélange, and has a dip angle of approximately 77° within the resistivity gradation zone 55 m east of the toe of the geomorphic escarpment; (2) it has a 2-year cumulative horizontal displacement of 20.7 mm northwestward and continuously creeps without seasonal variation; and (3) the active deformation on the escarpment results from a combined effect of fault creeping and slow gravity sliding of the mass which is steadily supplied by the Chihshang reserve faulting. …”
