Unintentional Introduction

The aim of our study was to provide a first overview of the population genetic structure of the invasive Chinese sleeper, Perccottus glenii, (Actinopterygii: Odontobutidae) in European water bodies. This species originates from inland waters of north-eastern China, northern North Korea and the Russian Far East. The 1172 bp long portion of the cytochrome b gene was sequenced from Chinese sleeper specimens collected from a variety of water bodies in Belarus, Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia (European part) and Ukraine. Our study revealed that the invasive Chinese sleeper in Europe consists of at least three distinct haplogroups that may represent independent introduction events from different parts of its native area; i.e. three founding populations: (1) Baltic haplogroup that may originate either from fish introduced inadvertent from Russia or from some unidentified source (release by aquarists). So far, this haplogroup has been found only in the Daugava basin in Latvia. (2) East-European haplogroup that may originate from an unintentional introduction to the Volga basin in Russia and has expanded westward. So far, this group was recorded in the Volga, Upper Dnieper and Neman drainages in Belarus, Lithuania, and Russia. (3) Carpathian haplogroup, that originated from individuals unintentionally introduced with Asian cyprinid fishes to Lviv region in Ukraine and are now widely distributed in Central Europe.

The article examines the southern part of the Russian Far East, which has a great potential from the perspective of the interaction of musical cultures and the formation of a unique ethno-cultural zone. On the basis of contemporary research works the circle of possible ethnic contacts in the region on the contemporary stage is delineated. In the ethnic characterization of the Russian Far East certain modifi cations towards the direction of expansion of the ethnic makeup and change of the region’s social characterization. The adjacency with the two provinces of North-Eastern China — Heilongjiang and Jilin bordering Russia on the north and east — are noted as a territorial premise for close mutual cooperation. The persistent interest in having foreign students receive an academic musical education of a Western European type in the region’s artistic educational institutions. Accentuation is made of the great potential for the interaction between musical cultures connected with the use of contemporary computer music technologies. The author of the article highlights the fastest developing trends in the interaction between the musical cultures of the peoples of the Far East of Russia and China on the basis of the use of computer music technologies: compositional activities, performance and education. Observation is made of the decline of the population of the indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East and the change of the region’s ethnic make-up as the result of the processes of migration, as well as the increase in the number of foreign students from China in the educational space and the concert and competition venues of the region.

Статья посвящена анализу эффектов, которые по состоянию на начало мая 2020 г. оказала пандемия коронавируса COVID‐19 на российско-китайское приграничье. Негативные эффекты пандемии оказались в целом ниже, чем это можно было ожидать, учитывая географическую близость и протяжённость границы. В то же время приостановление трансграничных контактов заметно затормозило развитие ряда интеграционных процессов: в частности, отброшен назад переговорный процесс по либерализации визового режима; сократились российская община в Китае и китайская община в России; нанесён удар по туристической отрасли. Ключевые слова: Китай, Северо-Восточный Китай, Дальний Восток, коронавирус, интеграция, ксенофобия The article is dedicated to the analysis of the effects of coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic on the processes in the Russo-Chinese borderlands (border regions of Russian Far East and China’s north-eastern provinces) as of May, 1, 2020. The author believes that it is possible to draw some interim conclusions about the situation, despite its high dynamics and unpredictability. According to these conclusions, the pandemic’s negative effects on the social situation and development at the Russo-Chinese border appeared to be less than one could expect – that fact undermines little interdependence between border regions and low intensity of cross-border contacts. Expectations by some Western experts, who believed that tensions between people across the border due to the pandemic spreading would break Russo-Chinese quasi-alliance, seem to be missed as well. Quite the opposite, worsening of contradictions between Washington and Beijing makes Russia and China get closer and closer. Meanwhile, sealing off the border puts a break on development of certain integration processes: liberalization of visa-regime, development of expats communities in both Russia and China.

AbstractRinodinais a widespread, polyphyletic genus of crustosePhysciaceaewithc. 300 species worldwide. A major missing link in understanding its global biogeography has been eastern Asia where the genus has never been systematically revised. Here we review specimen and literature records forRinodinafor north-eastern Asia (Russian Far East, Japan and the Korean Peninsula) and recognize 43 species. We describe two species,R. hypobadiaandR. orientalis, as new to science.Rinodina hypobadiais distinguished by its pigmented hypothecium,Dirinaria-type ascospores and pannarin in both thallus and epihymenium.Rinodina orientalisis characterized by its erumpent apothecia that remain broadly attached, with discs sometimes becoming convex and excluding the thalline margins, ascospores belonging to thePhyscia-type and secondary metabolites absent. Nine other species are reported from the region for the first time. These includeR. dolichospora,R. freyi,R. metaboliza,R. sicula,R. subminutaandR. willeyi. Of particular biogeographical interest are three additional new records that have western North American–eastern Asian distributions: the corticolous speciesR. endospora,R. macrosporaandR. megistospora. Six species have the better known eastern North American–eastern Asian distributions:R. ascociscana(syn.R. akagiensis,R. melancholica),R. buckii,R. chrysidiata,R. subminuta,R. tenuis(syn.R. adirondackii) andR. willeyi, and two have eastern North American–eastern Asian–European distributions:R. excrescensandR. moziana(syn.R. destituta,R. vezdae). Our study begins to close one of the largest gaps in our knowledge of circumboreal species distributions inRinodinaand, together with previous studies in North America and Europe, provides new insights into circumboreal crustose lichen biogeography.Rinodina cinereovirens(syn.R. turfaceavar. cinereovirens) is also reported as new to North America.
