A new tenebrionid species of the genus Euboeus Boieldieu, 1865, E. kandovanensis sp. n., is described from Alborz Province, Iran. It was collected in high mountains at an altitude of near 3.000 m. The new species belongs to the species-group huedepohli and the subgroup huedepohli within this group, which unites high mountain species with rugosity on the basal piece (dorsal surface) of the aedeagus. Euboeus kandovanensis sp. n. is most similar to E. huedepohli (Kulzer, 1964) and E. kasatkini Nabozhenko, 2022 and differs in the shape of the pronotum, the sculpture of the prothoracic hypomera, the structure of the metatibiae in both sexes, and the structure of the aedeagus.

A novel bacterium, designated 19SA41, was isolated from the air of the Icelandic volcanic island Surtsey. Cells of strain 19SA41 are Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile rods and form pale yellow-pigmented colonies. The strain grows at 4-30 °C (optimum, 22 °C), at pH 6-10 (optimum, pH 7.

In this work, two new compounds, N-(4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)adenine and N-(3,5-di-trifluoromethylphenyl)adenine, with a broad range of antiviral activity against RNA viruses were identified. We showed that these compounds exhibit pronounced antiviral activity against human poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3, belonging to enterovirus C species. Both compounds also demonstrated pronounced antiviral activity against Coxsackie viruses B3, B5, and B6, belonging to enterovirus B species.

Freshwater ecosystems under the influence of human activities are subject to multiple environmental stressors that lead to biodiversity loss and habitat modification. In recent years, various organisms have been used as bioindicators to detect environmental changes by their ability to perceive changes in community attributes. A good example is the semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera, infra order Gerromorpha) that act as predators and are sensitive to subtle changes in environmental conditions.
