Gastrocoptaarmigerella (Reinhardt, 1877) has been described from Japan and is widespread in the Far East and China. Surprisingly, a few occurrences in central and western Asia have also become known. Forcart (1935) found G.armigerella in northern Iran. The authors found evidence of G.armigerella in western Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan. The form from northern Tajikistan described by Schileyko (1984) as G.huttoniana agrees morphologically with G.armigerella as well. Gastrocoptahuttoniana is known from western India and the Himalayan region. The evidence of G.armigerella from central and western Asia has come thus far from drift material at the high water line in river floodplains which suggests that these are sub-fossil or fossil shells (Holocene or Pleistocene) which have been relocated. No living example of Gastrocopta has been found there as yet. Possibly the species is now extinct in this region. Gastrocoptatheeli (Westerlund, 1877) is the most widespread Gastrocopta in Eurasia. Its area ranges from the Caucasus to the Far East. The findings reported here are the first for this species in western Tien Shan.

Our goal is to analyze the known geographical ranges and diagnostic features of two potentially invasive Asian buprestid species: the quarantine apple tree pest, Agrilus mali Matsumura, and the poplar pest A. fleischeri Obenberger. Based on the examination of museum collections and literature sources, we compiled comprehensive databases of records of the exact collecting sites for both species and generated detailed maps of their ranges. There are 51 documented localities for A. mali in the Russian Far East and East Siberia, Mongolia, China, and the Korean peninsula, and there are 53 documented localities for A. fleischeri in the Far East and Siberia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, and Japan. No evidence of the presence of A. mali in Japan was found. Outbreak sites of A. mali in Xinjiang in the 2000s most likely represent the newly forming invasion areas; their proximity to the wild apple stands in the Kazakh part of the Tien Shan is a direct threat to Kazakhstan and adjacent countries. Sites damaged by A. fleischeri in Liaoning are situated within its native range; the outbreaks were likely triggered by the switch from indigenous to introduced poplars. This situation is similar to the early stages of emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) invasion.

The <i>Dryopteris dilatata</i> complex in the Caucasus, Siberia and the Far East was studied on the herbarium material from the Komarov Institute of Botany in Leningrad. The macromorphological characters of the sporophyte as well as the morphology and colour of spores were used. It has been found that <i>Dryopteris extremiorientalis</i> V. Vasil., regarded as an endemic taxon for the Far East, is conspecific with <i>Dryopteris assimilis</i> S. Walker, and <i>Dryopteris Alexeenkoana</i> Fom., regarded as a West Caucasian endemic species is identical with Dryopteris dilatata (Hoffm.) A. Gray, em. S. Walker. In .the paper the distribution of <i>D. assimilis</i> in the Asiatic part of the USSR was given.

Analysis of the historical faunistic explorations in Russia demonstrates the gradual improvement of knowledge during the 20th century for this country with variable borders. Recent estimations of the Trichoptera biodiversity in the Russian Federation show the presence of 643 species in 148 genera of 28 families within its limits. The largest family, Limnephilidae, comprises 159 species, followed by Leptoceridae (92 spp.), Hydroptilidae (56), Rhyacophilidae (49), Apataniidae (41), Polycentropodidae (35), Hydropsychidae (33), Phryganeidae (28), Glossosomatidae (23), Psychomyiidae (22), Philopotamidae (19), Lepidostomatidae (18), Goeridae (12), Brachycentridae (9), Molannidae (8), Beraeidae (6), Sericostomatidae (5), Stenopsychidae (5), Arctopsychidae (4), Ptilocolepidae (4), Ecnomidae (3), Uenoidae (3), Calamoceratidae (3), and Odontoceridae (2), with Hydrobiosidae, Dipseudopsidae, Phryganopsychidae, and Thremmatidae each with a single species. The fauna of Far East Russia is the richest with 392 species, whereas European Russia in inhabited by 225 spp., the Caucasus 155, and Siberia 239. Species distribution patterns are not known in detail even in European Russia. New additions to the fauna are expected from the Far East and other regions.

The review analyses Die Geburt des Russländischen Imperiums. Herrschaftskonzepte und -praktiken im 18. Jahrhundert. Beiträge zur Geschichte Osteuropas (The Birth of the Russian Empire: Concepts and Practices of Domination in the 18th Century) by Ricarda Vulpius. The author of the monograph focuses on the question of when Russia became an empire. Vulpius pays special attention to the discussion around this problem in relation to the eighteenth century and offers her own solution to the problem using the Begriffsgeschichte methodology. The historian connects such concepts as imperial discourse and colonialism. In her opinion, a major role in the formation of the imperial idea in Russia was played by the development of the territories of Siberia and the Far East, the Caucasus and the lands inhabited by Bashkirs, Kalmyks, and Kazakhs. Despite the thoroughness of the work carried out, the book is not without drawbacks. They are due to the narrowness of the source base of the study and the impossibility of using the Begriffsgeschichte approach in analysing the structures created for the management of the indigenous population of the Russian Empire.

The genus Kirinia was described from the Far East and contains two species, i.e. Kirinia epimenides and Kirinia fentoni (= K. epaminondas). Later, the other four species ranging in Central and Western Asia and on the Balkan Peninsula were transferred to this genus based on morphological features of the male genitalia. This action was incorrect and is not confirmed by our novel molecular data. Here, we restore the genus Esperarge Nekrutenko, 1988 stat. rev. with four species, i.e. E. eversmanni comb. rev., E. cashmirensis comb. rev., E. roxelana comb. rev., and E. climene comb. rev. Additionally, the subspecies Esperarge eversmanni shiva syn. nov. is considered a junior synonym of E. e. unicolor.

Elms have long been important components of the forests and cities around the world. In the little-more-than-sixty years since it was first found in Europe in 1918, Dutch Elm Disease (DED) has killed millions of elms in Europe, Western Asia, and North America (Figs 6 & 7). The Far East is the only major area in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere that has not had a DED problem. For this reason, and because many species that are native to the Far East are resistant to the Disease, it is thought that DED may have originated in the Orient.

Paramecium bursaria is a symbiotic ciliate species which cells contain hundreds of algae enclosed in perialgal vacuoles. The aim of the present study was to identify endosymbiotic algal strains of P. bursaria and to define the geographical distribution of the identified species. We analyzed symbiotic strains of P. bursaria originating from distant geographical locations and housed at the Culture Collection of Ciliates and their Symbionts (CCCS) at St. Petersburg University. Based on the obtained results, we identified these strains as Micractinium reisseri , Chlorella vulgaris, and Chlorella variabilis. We did not confirm the occurrence of a division into American and European groups and we guess that this division is only contractual and corresponds to the amount of introns in the 18S rDNA, and that there is no strong correlation with the geographical location. We have demonstrated that the range of M. reisseri is greater than previously supposed. We identified algae strains originating from Southern Europe (Serbia), Western Asia, and from the Far East (Kamchatka) as M. reisseri. Moreover, we identified two strains originating from Europe as C. variabilis, which also contradicts the predetermes about a division into American and European groups.

Рассматривались опасные гидрологические явления, связанные с высокими уровнями воды. На основе данных по 85 створам наблюдений за стоком на малых, средних и крупных реках прибрежной зоны Дальнего Востока за 2008-18 гг. проведена оценка максимальных (наивысших) годовых уровней воды. Рассчитаны внутригодовые средние и максимальные, а также межгодовые амплитуды колебаний уровней воды по каждому из створов. Проведена оценка наивысших уровней воды на основе критерия опасности - превышения значений уровней отметки опасного явления, определяемых территориальными подразделениями Росгидромета. Оценивались такие характеристики как частота, степень, а также генезис этого события. Выявлены территории региона, где опасные гидрологические события наблюдаются наиболее часто или являются наиболее сильными. Dangerous hydrological events associated with high water levels were considered. The maximum annual water levels were estimated on the basis of data from 85 stations of runoff observations on small, medium and large rivers in the coastal zone of the Far East in 2008-18. The intra-annual average and maximum, as well as inter-annual amplitudes of water level fluctuations were calculated. The maximum water levels were assessed with such hazard criterion as exceeding of the dangerous phenomenon value determined by the territorial divisions of the Federal Hydrometeorological Service. The following characteristics as the frequency, magnitude and genesis of this events were evaluated. The territories of the region with frequent or severe dangerous hydrological events are identified.
