title: Underwater photo-identification of sperm whales (<i>Physeter macrocephalus</i>) off Mauritius

description: The long-term monitoring of long-lived animals often requires individual identification. For cetaceans, this identification may be based on morphological characters observable from a boat such as shape, spots and cuts of the back, fluke and dorsal fins. However, for some species such as the sperm whales (<i>Physeter macrocephalus</i>), this approach may be challenging as individuals display a rather uniform skin pigmentation. They also do not very often show their fluke, complicating individual identification from a boat. Immature sperm whales that usually have an unharmed fluke may be excluded from photo-identification catalogues. Within the framework of the Maubydick project, focusing on the long-term monitoring of sperm-whales in Mauritius, passive underwater observation and video recording were used to identify long-lasting body markers (e.g. sex, ventral white markings, cut-outs of fins). A catalogue of 38 individuals (six adult males, 18 adult females and 14 immatures) enabled observers to record some nearly-daily, and yearly resightings. Advantages and disadvantages of this method are presented here. Such catalogues represent a robust baseline for conducting behavioural, genetic and acoustic studies in social species. Benefits of such newly acquired knowledge are of primary importance to implement relevant conservation plans in the marine realm.

title: Megabenthic communities distributed in the outer margins of the Yucatan shelf and their relationship to environmental variables

description: Megabenthic communities on continental margins benefit from structural complexity of the seafloor and sedimentary dynamics. These communities were tested in the outer margins of the Yucatan continental shelf (YCS) during August 2016 to evaluate the relationships between community attributes with environmental variables. The total capture was 1,366 10<sup>3</sup> ind km<sup>−2</sup> and 2,078 kg ash free dry weight (AFDW) km<sup>−2</sup>, distributed among 319 species. Crustaceans and molluscs were co-dominant in abundance (576,629 ind km<sup>−2</sup> ∼42.2% and 481,372 ind km<sup>−2</sup> ∼35.2%), while crustaceans and sponges were the greatest contributors to community biomass (699.84 kg AFDW km<sup>−2</sup> ∼33.6% and 47.8 kg AFDW km<sup>−2</sup> ∼23.0%). Local diversity was higher than reported for other areas of the GoM, showing a pseudo-latitudinal gradient of richness related to the karstic bottom and autogenic species. Beta diversity showed no species loss in these communities. The BIOENV test pointed to longitude, temperature, sorting, vanadium, 2.6-dimethyl naphthalene, latitude, chlorophyll, average grain size, <i>n</i>-C<sub>16</sub> and <i>n</i>-C<sub>23</sub> as the most important variables. Hydrocarbons were recorded at lower concentrations than the threshold effects level (TEL) reference values; however, the significant correlation between richness and dibenzothiophene must be evaluated. Beta diversity exhibited a high turnover and functional diversity showed an absence of regional distribution. Differences in benthic megafauna among sites were because of gradients in latitude and concentrations of aliphatic compounds which can be attributed to the distance from the stations to the coastline or groundwater flow. Environmental monitoring programmes are recommended because of petrogenic compounds that influence the community structure.

title: Unlovable China yet marriageable Chinese: Cross-border marriage between Chinese men and Ethiopian women

description: Sino-Ethiopian cross-border marriage in Ethiopia challenges the existing knowledge about Chinese-African encounters and cross-border marriage. Media and scholars’ foci on ‘China in Africa’ primarily stay at the macro level with a specific interest in the quantified economic facets. While a few studies cover the quotidian interactions between Chinese and local Africans, Chinese workers are often depicted as ‘segregated’ or ‘living in a collective arrangement.’ Mixed-race intimacy is reported as a taboo inhibited by the Chinese managers. Besides, the marriage flow is often from the global South to the North, which is produced by both the hard and soft power of the North as the forces, transnational family networks, and/or industrialized marriage brokerages as connections, and the material and immaterial imagination about the migration destination. The formation process and mechanism of Sino-Ethiopian marriage are distinct from the literature. Based on an eight-month multi-sited ethnography in Ethiopia and China, I identified an unusual conjuncture of global forces, connections, and imaginations that facilitated cross-border marriages between Chinese men and local women, which should be considered a novel ideal type. Its conceptual novelty is not only about the unique dynamic among Sino-Ethiopian spouses vis-à-vis the ‘segregated’ Chinese, but also these cross-border marriages were formed without the aforementioned constitutive outside. As the global force, China shows strong hard power while lacking desirability in Ethiopia, especially among ordinary Ethiopians. The workplaces, such as shop floors, and the local community networks serve as the key connections. Also, Ethiopian women do not want to migrate to China even though they choose to marry Chinese men. To follow the extended case method tradition, which suggests ethnographers should always connect the micro-site with macrostructure, understanding global China through exploring Sino-Ethiopian marriage is not just possible but preferred. In this study, I show how China has not yet been a colonial power or an empire in Ethiopia even if Beijing intends to. There has not been enough labor-time for China to accumulate a robust symbolic power as its expansion in the African continent only started 20 years ago. China is only a rising South instead of a North. In conclusion, I argue that Sino-Ethiopian cross-border marriage is an ideal type of South-South cross-border marriage through which a partner from a less developed South marries the other from a rising South. Furthermore, this study calls for a paradigm shift in research examining cross-border marriages between a developing South and a rising South in this dramatically changing global capitalist world system.

title: Supporting data for "A Systematic Investigation on Chinese Medicine and particular Shihu-Yuye Decoction, a Classic Chinese Medicine Formula, in Treating Diabetic Nephropathy and the Underlying Mechanisms "

description: Diabetic nephropathy (DN), which is known as a major microvascular diabetic complication, is the deterioration of kidney function and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Persistent hyperglycemia is the major reason of kidney dysfunction associated with Diabetes mellitus. Statistics showed that there are about 171 million diabetes worldwide and approximately 40% diabetic patients result in DN. Report showed that DN can be improved by nourishing kidney Yin through Chinese medicine.<br> Yuye Decoction (YYD) is an ancient formulation in Chinese medicine. Dendrobium officinale (DO) can nourish kidney Yin based on Pharmacopoeia of China recorded. Therefore, we hypothesize that DOY, which is the combination of DO and YYD, can treat DN. Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of DN. In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of DOY on DN and TGF-β1 signaling pathway.
