Abstract
Worldwide, humans have strongly altered river networks. Key changes resulted in modified hydromorphology, poor habitat quality and availability, migration barriers, and pollution. Restoration measures aim at mitigating anthropogenic stressors and at restoring connectivity, but the biological success of these measures is not guaranteed. Analyzing genetic diversity and metapopulation structure of target species in the river network with genetic markers can help to understand recolonization processes and to identify persisting gene flow barriers. Here, we studied the population genetic structure of the two pollution-tolerant detritivorous isopod species, Asellus aquaticus and Proasellus coxalis, in the former heavily degraded and polluted, but now mostly restored Emscher catchment in Germany. For both species, we analyzed mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene sequences and nuclear genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data. Surprisingly, we found a strong metapopulation structure for both species with several isolated populations on a small-scale of few kilometers, but a still high genetic diversity, especially in the COI gene. For both taxa, potentially cryptic species are known, but our SNP data showed that the mitochondrial lineages represent only one species, each, in the study area. This highlights the importance of integrating high-resolution nuclear markers into species identification because species diversity may otherwise be overestimated. While we could identify some migration barriers and find indications for passive dispersal by birds or humans, these factors could not fully explain the local metapopulation structure, suggesting that also other drivers, such as isolation by adaptation, priority effects, or biotic interactions, play a role in shaping the population genetic structure.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
