Abstract	Riverine metabarcoding data were obtained from the Takamigawa River, a tributary of the Kinokawa River, in Nara Prefecture (Central Honshu, Japan). We extracted DNA from bulk community samples of aquatic organisms, most of which could not be morphologically identified at species level due to their small body size (0.12 - 2 mm length). A partial coding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1) was amplified using PCR, and the amplicon was subjected to high-throughput parallel sequencing (Illumina MiSeq). The 313 bp paired-end sequence reads were classified into operational taxonomic units (OTUs), their species boundaries were delineated using the Generalised Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC) method, and taxonomic names of the GMYC species were assigned using basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) against International DNA Databases (INSD: GenBank, ENA, and DDBJ).

Abstract	Microbial communities in the hyporheic zone are important for self-purification as the riverbed is metabolically active and responsible for the retention, storage, and mineralisation of organic matter transported in the surface water. Studies exploring the response of the hyporheic microbial community to flow regime alterations remain scarce. Here, we characterised the microbial community structure over downwelling, upwelling and intermediate hyporheic zone areas within and among gravel bars at high and low discharge levels to determine flow-induced changes in a dam-regulated river using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. At low discharge, microbial composition varied across the different areas of gravel bars, reflecting heterogeneity in local abiotic conditions. However, high discharge lead to microbial community homogenisation across the three areas of the gravel bars. Microbial communities across adjacent gravel bars remained dissimilar regardless of discharge levels, likely reflecting differences in bar morphology. Our results can help better understand how anthropogenic changes in hydrologic conditions can affect microbial diversity and function in the hyporheic zone. This knowledge will help us to understand better how changes in hydrological conditions affect ecosystem functions and services in rivers affected by human impacts.

Abstract	Dengue surveillance is an important activity to prevent dengue outbreaks. This activity becomes a significant challenge for the region with limited logistic capabilities. Developing a simple mathematical model to predict the possibility of dengue incidence provides a reliable early warning system. This study compared the correlation between vector (adult female Aedes aegypti) and arbovirus detection on a vector to dengue incidence, which generalized linear mixed models tested. The incidence of adult female Aedes aegypti and dengue fever cases were interpolated through third-power inverse distance weighting (IDW). A spatial correlation between female Aedes aegypti incidence and dengue incidence was obtained from polynomial regression. Collection sites were 16 villages in Bandung city, one of the significant dengue endemic areas in January–December 2017. A total of 8,402 mosquitoes of Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Culex sp., with 17% belonging to Aedes aegypti as the subject of the dengue virus (DENV) infection test. Data analysis only showed a weak correlation between the numbers of adult female Aedes aegypti and dengue incidence. On the other hand, there is no correlation between positive dengue infection of vector and dengue incidence. This study highlights the importance of constant arbovirus surveillance and integrated surveillance methods on all possible dengue vectors to develop an early warning system for dengue incidence.

Abstract	Holorusia Loew, 1863 (Diptera: Tipulidae) is a relatively large crane fly genus with a wide distribution in the Afrotropic, Australasian–Oceanian, Eastern Palearctic, Oriental, and Nearctic regions. Although the genus is well known to include the largest crane fly species, the immature stages are thus far only described for the larva and pupa of the North American Holorusia hesperea Arnaud & Byers, 1990.In this study, we describe for the first time the egg, larva and pupae of the Japanese Holorusia mikado (Westwood, 1876). Larvae were collected from semi-aquatic habitats, from slow flowing areas of streams and small waterfalls where leaf litter accumulates, the larvae are detritivores and feed on wet, decomposing leaves. The larvae were reared to adults in the laboratory. Morphological characters of immature stages discussed with comparison with the North American H. hespera. Male and female genitalia are illustrated and described in detail for the first time.

Abstract	It is essential to explore and define the level of taxonomic identification and quantification approaches for diversity and biomonitoring studies, given their potential influence on assessing and interpreting ecological outcomes. This study assessed the response of benthic macroinvertebrate communities to restore and construct gravel bars in a dam-impacted river, with non-dam influenced tributaries serving as reference sites. Additionally, we evaluated the performance of different taxonomic and numerical (i.e., abundance vs. presence/absence data) resolutions of DNA metabarcoding with consequent comparison to morphology-based identification and how it affects assessment outcomes. DNA metabarcoding detected 93% of the morphologically identified individuals and provided finer taxonomic resolution. We also detected significant correlations between morphological sample abundance, biomass, and DNA metabarcoding-read abundance. Furthermore, we observed a relatively high and significant congruence in macroinvertebrate community structure and composition between different taxonomic and numerical resolutions of both methods. This indicates a satisfactory surrogacy between the two approaches and their varying identification levels and data transformation. Additionally, community–environmental associations were significant for all datasets but showed significant varying associations with physicochemical parameters. Our observations imply that coarser taxonomic resolution could be highly advantageous for DNA metabarcoding-based applications in situations where the lack of taxonomic information, e.g., poor reference database, might severely affect biological assessment quality.

Abstract	The generation of the high species diversity of insects in Japan was profoundly influenced by the formation of the Japanese Archipelago. We explored the species diversification and biogeographical history of the Nemouridae Billberg, 1820 family in the Japanese Archipelago using mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA markers. We collected 49 species among four genera: Indonemoura Baumann, 1975; Protonemura Kempny, 1898; Amphinemura, Ris 1902 and Nemoura Latreille, 1796 in Japan, China, South Korea and North America. We estimated their divergence times-based on three molecular clock node calibrations-using Bayesian phylogeography approaches. Our results suggested that Japanese Archipelago formation events resulted in diversification events in the middle of the Cretaceous (<120 Ma), speciation in the Paleogene (<50 Ma) and intra-species diversification segregated into eastern and western Japan of the Fossa Magna region at late Neogene (20 Ma). The Indonemoura samples were genetically separated into two clades-that of Mainland China and that of Japan. The Japanese clade clustered with the Nemouridae species from North America, suggesting the possibility of a colonisation event prior to the formation of the Japanese Archipelago. We believe that our results enhanced the understanding both of the origin of the species and of local species distribution in the Japanese Archipelago.

Abstract	Aedes mosquitoes are well-known vectors of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). Mosquitoes are more frequently infected with insect-specific viruses (ISVs) that cannot infect vertebrates. Some ISVs interfere with arbovirus replication in mosquito vectors, which has gained attention for potential use against arbovirus transmission. Cell-fusing agent virus (CFAV), a widespread ISV, can reduce arbovirus dissemination in Ae. aegypti. However, vectorial capacity is largely governed by other parameters than pathogen load, including mosquito survival and biting behaviour. Understanding how ISVs impact these mosquito fitness-related traits is critical to assess the potential risk of using ISVs as biological agents. Here, we examined the effects of CFAV infection on Ae. aegypti mosquito fitness. We found no significant reduction in mosquito survival, blood-feeding behaviour and reproduction, suggesting that Ae. aegypti is tolerant to CFAV. The only detectable effect was a slight increase in human attraction of CFAV-infected females in one out of eight trials. Viral tolerance is beneficial for introducing CFAV into natural mosquito populations, whereas the potential increase in biting activity must be further investigated. Our results provide the first insight into the link between ISVs and Aedes mosquito fitness and highlight the importance of considering all aspects of vectorial capacity for arbovirus control using ISVs.
