Abstract:
... Echinoparyphium aconiatum (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) is an intestinal parasite of anatid and snail-eating birds. In Eurasia, it is also common in lymnaeid snails, which may serve as the first and second intermediate hosts. The systematics of its genus, Echinoparyphium, have long been inadequate, with poor descriptions and extensive synonymy. To provide a basis for developing new genetic markers f ...

Abstract:
... During the Middle Paleolithic in Eurasia, the production of deliberate, abstract engraving on bone or stone materials is a rare phenomenon. It is now widely accepted that both anatomically modern humans and hominins that predate them have produced deliberate engravings associated with symbolic behavior. Within the Levantine Middle Paleolithic context, only five examples of intentional engravings a ...

Abstract:
... Ants of the «Formica picea—F. candida» complex are widespread across Eurasia. However, it is still a matter of debate if it constitutes one or two species. In this study, we collected a sample of specimens from different parts of Eurasia, sequenced the mitochondrial cox1 and cytb genes, as well as three nuclear loci—wg, Top1, and ITS2—and analyzed the available published data. We found this comple ...

However, mechanisms in creating such widespread intra‐continental deformation are still not well understood. Here, we present a 3‐D S‐wave velocity model of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau and adjacent regions by jointly inverting teleseismic body and surface waves. The resulting ...

Observations reveal distinct interdecadal winter Eurasian cold anomaly (ECA) centered over central Eurasia (40°–60° N, 60°–120° E), with a more southwestward extension during 1965–1976 than during 2002–2013. In this paper, Ural blockings (UB) in association with the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) and Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO) are analyzed to explain the ECA’s decadal change ...

Abstract:

A growing number of field studies have linked the change in fire regime to post-fire recruitment failure and permanent forest loss. In this study we used four burned area and two forest loss datasets to calculate the landscape-scale fire return interval (FRI) and associated risk of permanent fo ...

However, knowledge on how snow cover phenology (SP) modulates ecosystem productivity (EP), especially for the lower- and higher-productivity ecosystems, is limited yet. The situation becomes more embarrassed when asking a more in-depth question as to the macroecological pattern of SP modulating EP – does this process act with the neighb ...

Abstract:
... The frequency and the intensity of extreme temperature events have both increased globally because of the effects of climate warming. Such extreme events should be distinct in high-elevation areas owing to the phenomenon of elevation-dependent warming; however, corroborating evidence remains limited because of scarce observations. This study used the percentile method to identify annual extreme te ...

Abstract:

Sturgeon (Acipenseridae) include many such species, endangered by demand for caviar, their unfertilized roe, and by dams blocking their migrations. Restocking of sturgeon populations with farm-raised individuals has probably prevented extinctions ...

Abstract:
... Crustal deformation and seismicity in Europe are still poorly understood. Seismic activity is classically ascribed to crustal strain rates generated by edge‐driven tectonic forces. However, crustal deformation is not only due to tectonic loading, but can also be related to isostatic and mantellic processes that induce additional stress and strain on the crust by flexure. The influence that those p ...
