    Abstract
    Dams interrupt the longitudinal connectivity of rivers and consequently disrupt the structure and function of downstream communities. The Serial Discontinuity Concept recognizes these disruptions and suggests that the impacts of dams on downstream communities should attenuate with increasing distance from the dam. The impacts of dams on communities immediately downstream are well studied, but less is known about how dams affect longitudinal patterns of community structure and functional attributes. To investigate the impacts of a large hydropower dam on downstream macroinvertebrate assemblage structure and function, we sampled riffle habitats along a 49-km reach on the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam for 1 year. We collected monthly samples from seven sites, ranging from 0.8 to 49 km below the dam. Macroinvertebrate assemblage composition differed among sites below the dam and exhibited distinct longitudinal patterns. Taxonomic richness increased with increasing distance from the dam, but total macroinvertebrate abundance and annual secondary production decreased with increasing distance from the dam. Furthermore, functional feeding group composition differed among sites and also exhibited longitudinal patterns. Our results contribute to a body of evidence that demonstrates longitudinal effects of dams on downstream macroinvertebrate community structure and function.

    • 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
