The author describes and analyzes changes in the ethnic composition of Estonia during the twentieth century. "The paper points out that ethnic composition of the urban population was changing in the period under consideration much more rapidly than the ethnic structure of the rural population." Data are from censuses conducted between 1897 and 1989. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Species belonging to the complex (MKC) are frequently isolated from humans and the environment and can cause serious diseases. The most common MKC infections are caused by the species (), leading to tuberculosis-like disease. However, a broad spectrum of virulence, antimicrobial resistance and pathogenicity of these non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are observed across the MKC.

Article Synopsis
- European forests are facing threats from invasive pests and pathogens, particularly a foliar pathogen that causes brown spot needle blight, leading to tree defoliation and mortality.
- The pathogen has spread globally, originating from southern North America and being first discovered in Spain in 1942, and it has been shown to have a wide climatic tolerance and host range across various regions.
- A study has compiled data into an open-access geo-database to map the distribution of the pathogen in Europe, indicating that it could potentially affect a large proportion of global tree species areas by the century's end due to climate change.

Polyporous fungi, a morphologically delineated group of Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota), are considered well studied in Europe and used as model group in ecological studies and for conservation. Such broad interest, including widespread sampling and DNA based taxonomic revisions, is rapidly transforming our basic understanding of polypore diversity and natural history. We integrated over 40,000 historical and modern records of polypores in Estonia (hemiboreal Europe), revealing 227 species, and including Polyporus submelanopus and P.

This study aims to test the hypothesis that a high prevalence of endemic goitre, considered as a proxy measure for subclinically reduced thyroid function in the population, is geographically associated with exceptional longevity. Using historical data available for 377 Sardinian municipalities in the first half of the twentieth century, we performed an ecological study to investigate the geographic distribution of goitre and its spatial association with demographic indicators of population longevity. This analysis was conducted by using both conventional ordinary least square and geographically weighted regression models to take into account spatial autocorrelation and included other longevity-associated factors previously identified in Sardinia.
