Background: The purpose of the data paper was to introduce into scientific literature the results of scientific work carried out for the third edition of the 'Red Data Book of the Komi Republic'. The article reflects methodological approaches to the formation of a list of rare and in need of protection species and describes the corresponding datasets published in GBIF.
New Information: Information about 7,187 occurrences of 438 rare species and infraspecies included in the third edition of the 'Red Data Book of the Komi Republic' have been published.
Differences in spatial versus temporal reaction norms for spring and autumn phenological events.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
December 2020
Article Synopsis
- - Species rely on environmental cues, like degree-days, to time their phenological events and exhibit varying responses based on their location and the season.
- - The study analyzed data from 91 taxa across 472 sites in the former Soviet Union, finding that spring phenological events advance more consistently with temperature cues (cogradient variation), while autumn events are less responsive (countergradient variation).
- - Despite some local adaptations, phenological events generally do not keep pace with environmental cues, particularly lagging further in earlier years, suggesting differing impacts of climate change on spring and autumn species responses.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe present an extensive, large-scale, long-term and multitaxon database on phenological and climatic variation, involving 506,186 observation dates acquired in 471 localities in Russian Federation, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. The data cover the period 1890-2018, with 96% of the data being from 1960 onwards. The database is rich in plants, birds and climatic events, but also includes insects, amphibians, reptiles and fungi.

A consistent increase of scull size in the Serov race with moving from the plain to highlands and a skull size decrease from low to high latitudes was detected. Interpopulation variability among different races was shown to be comparable with interracial variability or to exceed it.
