Spatiotemporal distribution patterns of cephalopods and their responses to changes in the marine environment in the coastal waters of Zhejiang, China by Jun Liang, Jun Liang, Yongdong Zhou, Yongdong Zhou, Tian Wu, Feng Chen, Feng Chen, Kaida Xu, Kaida Xu, Guangjie Fang, Yazhou Zhang, Yazhou Zhang

“…Thus, exploring the spatial and seasonal variations in cephalopod distribution and their associations with environmental factors is important for elucidating cephalopod diversity and the distribution of cephalopods under changing environmental conditions and for developing reasonable resource management and conservation measures.MethodsOn the basis of trawl survey data from 123 stations in the coastal waters of Zhejiang, China, in the spring and autumn of 2021, the relationships among the cephalopod species composition and diversity characteristics and the spatial and seasonal changes and environmental factors were investigated via the relative importance index (IRI), the alpha diversity index, and the GAM.ResultsThe results revealed that the cephalopods in the coastal waters of Zhejiang belonged to three orders, six families, and 10 genera and that the dominant species were gradually replaced by species of minor economic importance and endemic small-scale fishery species. …”

Protein kinases MpkA and SepH transduce crosstalk between CWI and SIN pathways to activate protective hyphal septation under echinocandin cell wall stress by Alexander G. Doan, Jessica E.
