Petrologic perspectives on tectonic evolution of a nascent basin (Okinawa Trough) behind Ryukyu Arc:A review
YAN Quanshu, SHI Xuefa
2014, 33(4): 1-12. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0400-2
Abstract:
Okinawa Trough is a back-arc, initial marginal sea basin, located behind the Ryukyu Arc-Trench System. The formation and evolution of the Okinawa Trough is intimately related to the subduction process of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Eurasian ...

Speciation, distribution, and potential ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in Xiamen Bay surface sediment
LIN Cai, LIU Yang, LI Wenquan, SUN Xiuwu, JI Weidong
2014, 33(4): 13-21. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0453-2
Abstract:
Based on the survey of surface sediment in Xiamen Bay in October 2011, the speciation, distribution, and potential ecological risk assessment of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Cr) in this area were studied using the sequential extraction method an...
Optical properties of estuarine dissolved organic matter isolated using cross-flow ultrafiltration
YI Yueyuan, ZHENG Airong, GUO Weidong, YANG Liyang, CHEN Ding
2014, 33(4): 22-29. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0451-4
Abstract:
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) from freshwater, mid-salinity, and seawater endmember samples in the Jiulong River Estuary, China were fractionated using cross-flow ultrafiltration with a 10-kDa membrane. The colloidal organic matter (COM; 10 kDa-0.22...
Distributional characteristics of grain sizes of surface sediments in the Zhujiang River Estuary
JIANG Siyi, XU Fangjian, LI Yan, LIU Xiling, ZHAO Yongfang, XU Wei
2014, 33(4): 30-36. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0462-1
Abstract:
Distributions of the parameters of sedimentary grain sizes and their correlations were studied to trace the sources of silts and their movement trends in the Zhujiang River Estuary based on the analyses of grain sizes from more than 1 080 sedimentary...
Spatial distribution pattern of seafloor hydrothermal vents to the southeastern Kueishan Tao offshore Taiwan Island
HAN Chenhua, YE Ying, PAN Yiwen, QIN Huawei, WU Guanghai, CHEN Chen-Tung Arthur
2014, 33(4): 37-44. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0405-x
Abstract:
Investigations of the diffusion activities both within and outside the seafloor hydrothermal vents, as well as related mineral genesis, have been one of the key focuses of ocean biogeochemistry studies. Many hydrothermal vents are distributed close t...
Variations of oceanic fronts and their influence on the fishing grounds of Ommastrephes bartramii in the Northwest Pacific
CHEN Xinjun, TIAN Siquan, GUAN Wenjian
2014, 33(4): 45-54. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0452-3
Abstract:
Two predominant currents, the warm Kuroshio Current and the cold Oyashio Current, meet in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The dynamics of physical oceanographic structures in this region, including frontal zones and meandering eddies, result in a highly...
16S rRNA is a better choice than COI for DNA barcoding hydrozoans in the coastal waters of China
ZHENG Lianming, HE Jinru, LIN Yuanshao, CAO Wenqing, ZHANG Wenjing
2014, 33(4): 55-76. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0415-8
Abstract:
Identification of hydrozoan species is challenging, even for taxonomic experts, due to the scarcity of distinct morphological characters and phenotypic plasticity. DNA barcoding provides an efficient method for species identification, however, the ch...
Re-identifying Grateloupia yangjiangensis (Rhodophyta, Halymeniaceae) based on morphological observations, life history and rbcL sequence analyses
WANG Hongwei, GUO Shaoru, ZHANG Xiaoming, ZHAO Dan, ZHANG Wen, LUAN Rixiao
2014, 33(4): 77-84. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0450-5
Abstract:
On the basis of morphological observations, life history and molecular phylogeny, Grateloupia yangjiangensis, which is similar to G. filicina, G. orientalis, G. catenata, and G. ramosissima in appearance, was re-examined. The results are as follows: ...
Phosphorus deficiency affects multiple macromolecular biosynthesis pathways of Thalassiosira weissflogii
WANG Xiuxiu, HUANG Bangqin, ZHANG Huan
2014, 33(4): 85-91. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0413-x
Abstract:
Phosphorus (P) is one of the key nutrients for the growth of phytoplankton. In this study, we used a method coupling label-free quantitation with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LFQ-LC-MS/MS) to track the change of relative protein abundance...
Cloning and expression analysis of the chloroplast fructose- 1,6-bisphosphatase gene from Pyropia haitanensis
XIAO Haidong, CHEN Changsheng, XU Yan, JI Dehua, XIE Chaotian
