Published: April 2021

The dichotomous keys to 106 species from 62 genera of Ennominae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) of the Baikal region (Irkutskaya Oblast and Buryatia, Russia) is given. The annotated catalogue including synonyms, the details of examined specimens, data on distribution and hostplants with references is provided. Distribution of Macaria artesiaria ([Denis et Schiffermüller], 1775) in the Baikal region is confirmed. One species is newly combined with genus Hypoxystis Prout, 1915: H. reticulata (Sterneck, 1928) comb. nov. The genus name Scardostrenia Sterneck, 1928 is established to be a synonym of Hypoxystis Prout, 1915 syn. n. Some taxonomic aspects of Charissa turfosaria (Wehrli, 1922), Hypoxystis reticulata (Sterneck, 1928), Synopsia strictaria Lederer, 1853 and Autotrichia heterogynoides (Wehrli, 1927) are discussed. New westernmost boundary of the range of Abraxas karafutonis Matsumura, 1925 is established.

Effect of roasting on the chemical and lipid composition of pine nuts in two regions in Russia.

Heliyon

July 2024

Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Faculty of Trade Economics and Commodity Science, Department of Commodity Science, Stremyanny lane 36, RU 115054, Moscow, Russia.

The impact of thermal treatment for roasting on pine nuts from two geographical regions in Russia (Vladivostok and Baikal) was studied. They were roasted at 180 °C for 20 min in an oven. The aim was to establish the changes that occurred in the chemical (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, ash, fibers), lipid composition (fatty acids, tocopherols, sterols, phospholipids), and physicochemical characteristics (peroxide value, acid value, iodine value, conjugated dienes and trienes) after roasting of the pine nuts.

Article Synopsis
  • This study highlights the importance of finding natural biocontrol agents to combat plant pathogens that threaten the global food supply.
  • The strain b12.3, isolated from Olkhon Island, possesses the ability to inhibit various plant pathogens and shows potential as a biocontrol agent.
  • Advanced genomic analysis revealed that b12.3 has multiple biosynthetic gene clusters and insecticidal genes, suggesting its effectiveness in pest management and providing insight into its ecological role in Lake Baikal.

Dominant atmospheric circulation patterns associated with the rapid intensification of summer flash droughts in Eastern China.

Sci Total Environ

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Hydrometeorological Disaster Mechanism and Warning of Ministry of Water Resources/Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China; School of Hydrology and Water Resources, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, Jiangsu, China.

Flash droughts (FDs), which are characterized by rapid intensification, occurred frequently over Eastern China, posing great challenges for drought forecasting and preparation on subseasonal timescale. However, the drivers of the rapid development of FDs are not well understood. By comparing with slow droughts (SDs), this study investigates the dominant physical processes responsible for FDs in four different regions over Eastern China through diagnosing moisture budgets and further linking them to large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns.

Article Synopsis
  • * Results indicate no increase in plutonium levels in fish after major discharges from 2018-2020, but grayling had significantly higher Pu concentrations due to their diet of benthic invertebrates, while larger pike showed increasing Pu levels.
  • * High concentrations of radiocesium and potassium were found in pike, attributed to biomagnification, leading to potential ecological risk assessments and a foundation for future research on radionuclides in freshwater ecosystems.

The allelic diversity of exon 2 (DQB gene) and exon 3 (DRB gene) of major histocompatibility complex class II was studied for the first time in two species of the landlocked pinnipeds, Baikal (N = 79) and Caspian (N = 32) seals, and these were in compared with the widespread Arctic species, the ringed seal (N = 13). The analysis of the second exon comprising the antigen-binding region revealed high allelic diversity in all three species but the pattern of the diversity was the most specific for the Baikal seal. This species differs from the other two by the smallest number of alleles in the population, yet they have the largest number of alleles per individual and by the maximum similarity of individual genotypes.
