The composition of springtail communities (the ratio of taxa, species richness, morphoecological spectrum, and spatial organization) in typical deep chernozems of Kursk oblast has been studied in crop fields, forest strips, and an old fallow. Approximately 40 springtail species have been recorded, with the Onychiuridae being dominant with respect to species diversity and contribution to the total abundance. Springtails are distributed over the soil profile to a depth of no less than 50 cm. The pattern of their vertical distribution in areas with tree and shrub vegetation differs from that in arable land. The response of springtails to weakly expressed sheet erosion of chernozem proved to be insufficient for using them as bioindicators of the initial stages of soil erosion.

Laboratory experiments conducted at L: D = 16: 8 have shown that the observed temporal pattern of parasitization of the Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella eggs by Trichogramma principium females represents a resultant of arrhythmic age-related trends and circadian rhythms. Most of females delayed parasitization. The daily number of females starting to parasitize was maximal on the first day of contact with the host and then gradually declined. Practically all of the females started parasitization during the photophase. Moreover, when the first contact with the host fell on the scotophase, the total cumulative percentage of females that started parasitization during four days of the experiment significantly decreased. Oviposition activities of parasitizing females also occurred mainly during photophase. However, under constant light, these circadian rhythms were damped out after one cycle. In addition, anticipatory period of darkness during photophase directly inhibited parasitization. This suggests that the observed rhythms can be easily modified by the direct environmental influence. Under natural conditions, such a flexible oviposition rhythm may be of advantage for these parasitoids enabling them to use any opportunity for reproduction. In biocontrol practice, the lability of parasitization rhythms may enable Trichogramma females to adapt immediately to any new light-dark regimes, although darkness may have negative effects on their efficiency.

Seven groups of genera are distinguished in the subtribe Issina Spinola. The new genera Apedalmus gen. n. (the type species Falcidius abruzicus Dlabola, 1983) and Thalassana gen. n. (the type species: Hysteropterum ephialtes Linnavuori, 1971) are erected. The subgenera Acrestia Dlabola, 1980, Montissus Gnezdilov, 2003, and Atticus Gnezdilov, 2003 are upgraded to genera. The subgenus Capititudes Gnezdilov, Drosopoulos et Wilson, 2004 is transferred to the genus Acrestia, and the subgenus Stygiata Emeljanov, 1972 to Celyphoma Emeljanov, 1971. The subtribe Agalmatiina Gnezdilov, 2002 and the subfamily Hysteropterinae Melichar, 1906 are placed in synonymy under Issina Spinola, 1839. Issus reticulatus Herrich-Schäffer, 1835 is designated as the type species of the genus Hysteropterum Amyot et Serville, 1843.

The fauna and communities of Collembola in Eastern European broad-leaf forests are analyzed. A list of species and dominants, the local diversity and abundance, the range of life forms, and vertical distribution are described. Special attention is paid to the problems of dynamics and representativeness of ecological samplings. The population density of springtails is relatively low in broad-leaf forests; the local species richness is similar to that in coniferous forests and averages 25–30 species. In spite of some differences, the springtail populations of broad-leaf and coniferous forests can be assigned to the same type of community, namely that of Eastern European forests.

The "banana cricket" is one of the preferred laboratory objects used for studying general and applied biological problems. However, the exact identity of this form remains obscure. Correct identification of the insects maintained in culture is vital for the correct prediction of the properties of the object in question and comparative studies. Analysis of acoustic signals showed that the banana cricket from the Moscow Zoo culture did not belong to the Gryllus assimilis (F.) group as it was assumed earlier. Analysis of acoustic signals and genitalia revealed similarity between the banana cricket and insects from the culture maintained at the Institute of Evolutionary Physiology and Biochemistry (IEPhB, St. Petersburg), which were supposed to be Gryllus argentinus (Sauss.). The calling songs and genitalia of crickets from both cultures differed from those of G. argentinus. Thus, the banana cricket and Gryllus sp. from the IEPhB culture belong to the same species but the exact identity of that species has not been yet determined.

The nested PCR method with primers flanking a conserved fragment of the Babesia microti ss-rDNA gene was used to examine 834 larvae of Ixodes trianguliceps ticks engorged to a varying degree, taken off 237 hosts of 12 species (rodents and insectivores). The hosts were collected in southern taiga forests in the lowmountain area of the Middle Urals (Chusovoi District, Perm Province) in 2003–2010. Babesia DNA was detected in 89 (10.7%) larvae from 8 species of small mammals. According to the data obtained by PCR and microscopic methods, either B. microti DNA or the parasites themselves were found in the blood of 45.2% of the mammals. The nucleotide sequences of 15 amplicons of Babesia DNA obtained from larvae of I. trianguliceps ticks and their hosts were identical to those of B. microti available in GenBank. In 13 cases, they were similar to B. microti US-type (a human pathogen) and in two cases (those from I. trianguliceps and from the vole Clethrionomys rufocanus from which it was removed), to B. microti of the Munich strain which is not pathogenic to humans. The duration of feeding on small mammals seems to exert the main influence on the infection rate of I. trianguliceps larvae. The fully engorged larvae contained B. microti DNA more often and usually in greater amounts than those collected during the first days of blood-sucking. The latter usually revealed Babesia DNA in the minimum quantity (< 0.064 ng/μl). According to the data obtained, transovarial transmission of Babesia in I. trianguliceps is unlikely. The processes of horizontal and transstadial transmission appear to be of crucial importance for the functioning of the natural foci of babesiosis.

Accurate identification and differentiation of species of the genus Chironomus based on their morphological features is a difficult problem. Unambiguous species identification by means of molecular markers is possible at any stage of the life cycle. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with species-specific primers was used to develop molecular markers (amplicons) for identification of Chironomus piger, Ch. dorsalis, and Ch. pseudothummi. Nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of the locus coding for ribosomal RNA were used to design species-specific primers for these target species. Each of the species-specific primer pairs yielded species-specific amplicons (molecular markers) only with the DNA of target species: Ch. piger, Ch. dorsalis, and Ch. pseudothummi. Test PCRs with the DNA of eighteen Chironomus species confirmed the specificity of the primers obtained. The molecular markers produced in PCR with the designed species-specific primers permit reliable identification of Ch. piger, Ch. dorsalis, and Ch. pseudothummi and their differentiation from other species of the genus Chironomus.

A reexamination of the fossil Mesozoic caddisfly Dajella tenera Sukatsheva, 1990, formerly in Philopotamidae, has revealed new characters showing this species to be a representative of the family Glossosomatidae. It is a single species of the new subfamily Dajellinae subfam. nov. The morphology of the head, thorax, and abdomen including the maxillary palp with well developed apical spine (apical sensory complex), the integumental structures associated with sternal glands, and the male genitalia are described. The complicated cuticular structures associated with the sternal glands on abdominal sternite V suggest active secretion of the pheromone volatiles. Short projection on sternite VI in this species might be used in the vibratory signaling which is known to occur in the behavior of the extant Glossosomatidae.

The population phenetic structure was studied in the burying beetle Nicroforus vespillo (Linnaeus, 1761) from Kaluga city pine forest. Some possible phenes of N. vespillo were distinguished and frequencies of their occurrence studied. As a result, all the samples belonged to the same population. The phene pool of the population was characterized by indices of intrapopulation diversity and a share of rare morphs. Based on these characteristics, logarithmic trends were elaborated showing graphically the annual dynamics of the beetle population.

The antlions from the subfamilies Nemoleontinae and Myrmecaelurinae deposited in the Entomological Museum of the China Agricultural University (CAU) belong to 16 species, among which 11 are recorded for China for the first time. Four species with mostly Oriental distribution are recorded for the first time from the northern localities in Palaearctic China. The Dzungarian faunistic center of antlions with two species recently described from Turan is distinguished. Some species characteristic of Mongolia were found in adjacent China. Occurrence in China of three species, collected by Russian expeditions 100 years ago, is confirmed. Five species described by Yang from China have been synonymized with widely distributed species.
Vedenina, V. Yu.
Two new hybrid zones between sibling species of the Chorthippus albomarginatus group were described on the basis of the courtship song analysis. Not only the sounds emitted but also the accompanying stridulatory movements of the hind legs were analyzed, which allowed the temporal parameters to be classified in a more reliable way. One hybrid zone between Ch. albomarginatus and Ch. karelini was found in Ulyanovsk and Samara Provinces of Russia. The other hybrid zone, presumably between Ch. karelini and Ch. oschei, was found in the protected Askania-Nova steppe area in Kherson Province of Ukraine. Based on comparison of the natural and laboratory hybrids, a hypothesis on the structure and dynamics of the hybrid zones is proposed.

A review of the subgenus Metaphyllobius Smirnov of the weevil genus Phyllobius Germ. is given. The name Ph. maculatus Tournier, 1880 is restored from synonymy with Ph. pomaceus fessus Boheman, 1843. A new synonymy is established: Ph. maculatus Tournier, 1880 (= jacobsoni Smirnov, 1913, syn. n.). Ph. fessus Boheman, 1843 is downgraded to a subspecies of Ph. pomaceus Gyllenhal, 1834—Ph. pomaceus fessus Boheman, 1843, stat. n. Data on the distribution and hosts of, and a key to European and Siberian species of the subgenus Metaphyllobius are given.

Karyotypic features as well as larval and imaginal morphology have been studied in five species of the black fly genus Wilhelmia, viz. W. equina (Linnaeus, 1758), W. pseudequina (Seguy, 1921), W. lineata (Meigen, 1804), W. veltistshevi (Rubzov, 1940), and W. salopiensis (Edwards, 1927). Photomaps of polytene chromosomes are given for all species (those for W. pseudequina and W. veltistshevi, for the first time). Species-specific karyological and morphological characters have been revealed. According to principal karyological features, the species examined are divided into the equina and salopiensis groups. The validity of the species rank is confirmed for all species. Clear karyological and morphological distinctions between W. salopiensis and W. lineata give evidence that synonymization of W. salopiensis with W. lineata was erroneous.

The maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods are based on parametric models of character evolution. They assume that if we know these models as well as distribution of character states in studied organisms, we can infer the probability of different phylogenetic trajectories leading from ancestors to modern forms. In fact, these methods are mathematized variants of the traditional Haeckel's approach to phylogeny reconstruction. In contrast to classical and parsimonious cladistics, they infer phylogenies without such limitations as necessity of strictly dichotomous evolution, exclusion of plesiomorphic characters, and acceptance of only holophyletic taxa. They assume that evolution may be reticulated, any homologous characters—both apomorphic and plesiomorphic—can be used for inferring phylogenies, and interpretation of evolutionary lineages as taxa is optional. Thus, the main difference between the new and more traditional approaches to phylogeny reconstruction lies not in the characters used (molecular or morphological) but in the methodology of analysis. It must be admitted that a revolution began in phylogenetics 10–20 years ago. However, the fundamental changes in phylogenetics have been carried out so calmly and neatly by the people who started this revolution, that many systematists still do not realize their importance.
Chesnokova, S. V.; Omelchenko, L. V.
The basic features of spatial differentiation of ant communities were studied based on quantitative counts in all the landscapes of Central Altai. Gradual changes in the structure of ant communities on altitudinal belts were observed, as well as the mosaic patterns of the complexes determined by the variations in meso- and microclimatic conditions within the belt. The main trends in the correlated changes of ant communities and environmental factors were revealed. Classification of ant communities which may form the basis for the legend of a medium-scale map was made using multidimensional factor analysis. The specific features of the spatial differentiation of ant communities in Central Altai, as well as those in Northeast Altai studied earlier, are largely determined by fluctuations in the hydrothermal conditions of these regions. Among the anthropogenic factors, the most significant one in both provinces is transformation of habitats caused by plowing, stocking, annual mowing, and construction.

The species of the genus Copris of the Russian Far East are reviewed. Copris tripartitus Waterhouse, 1875 is recorded for the fauna of Russia for the first time. The distribution of the Eastern Asian species of this genus in Russia is analyzed in detail. The data on their phenology, trophic associations, and habitat preferences are considered.
Eskov, E. K.
Heat emission by the honey-bee larvae, prepupae, and pupae was investigated by microelectrocalorimetry. A correlation between changes in the environment temperature and heat emission was found. Within the vital range of air temperature (29–37.5°C), an increase in temperature by 1° stimulated an average heat emission increase of 0.5 mW/g in the larvae, 0.05 mW/g in the prepupae, and 0.2 mW/g in the pupae. At the optimum air temperature (34 ± 1°C), the increase in the larval body mass was followed by that in the total heat emission, but the heat emission to body mass ratio dropped. In the pupae, heat emission grows toward the end of the postembryonic development, the lowest value being observed in the prepupae.

Marumba gaschkewitschii Bremer et Grey, 1852 (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) is found in western Transbaikalia for the first time. Populations of the following rare insects previously known in the region from solitary specimens are found and described: Niphanda fusca Bremer et Grey, 1853, Plebejidea cyane Eversmann, 1837 (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae), and Mantispa lobata Navás, 1912 (Neuroptera, Mantispidae). These populations are associated with climatic and microclimatic conditions of dense shrubs with almond trees.
Kataev, B. M.
A taxonomic review of ten species of the subgenus Cryptophonus Brandmayr et Zetto Brandmayr, 1982, the genus Harpalus Latreille, 1802 is given. In addition to nine Palaearctic species, the Ethiopian H. agnatus Reiche, 1849 is also included in Cryptophonus. Harpalus cyrenaicus Koch, 1939, stat. n. from Libya, which was originally described as a subspecies of H. litigiosus Dejean, 1829, is treated as a distinct species. Harpalus tenebrosus Dejean, 1829 is treated as a polytypical species with two subspecies: H. t. tenebrosus (West Palaearctic) and H. t. paivanus Wollaston, 1867, stat. n. (Cabo Verde). A new substitute name H. melancholicus reicheianus nom. n. is proposed to replace the objective homonyms H. reichei Jacobson, 1907 (non Desbrochers des Loges, 1867) and H. ovalis Reiche, 1861 (non Motschulsky, 1844). Lectotypes are designated for H. tenebrosus Dejean, 1829, H. paivanus Wollaston, 1867, H. litigiosus Dejean, 1829, H. agnatus Reiche, 1849, H. fulvus Dejean, 1829, H. melancholicus Dejean, 1829, and H. ineditus Dejean, 1829. The status and diagnosis of Cryptophonus are discussed and a key to all the species of this subgenus is provided. Data on distribution of each species are provided. The following species are recorded for the first time: H. tenebrosus from Afghanistan, H. grilli Kataev, 2002 from India (Uttarhand), H. agnatus Reiche, 1849 from Tanzania, and H. fulvus Dejean, 1829 from Portugal.

The genus Mirococcus Borchsenius, 1947 is revised. Longicoccus Danzig, 1975 and Polystomophora Borchsenius, 1948 are considered new subjective synonyms of Mirococcus. Nine species, Mirococcus inermis (Hall, 1925) (= Polystomophora orientalis Matesova, 1960, syn. n.; = P. arakensis Moghaddam, 2010, syn. n.), M. ostiaplurimus (Kiritshenko, 1940), comb. n., M. sphaeroides Danzig, 1975, M. clarus Borchsenius, 1949 (= M. ashtarakensis Ter-Grigorian, 1964, syn. n.; = M. affinis Ter-Grigorian, 1967, syn. n.; = M. psammophilus Koteja, 1971, syn. n.) M. longiventris (Borchsenius, 1949), M. festucae Koteja, 1971, M. oligadenatus Danzig, 1982, M. ulykpani Danzig, 1990, and M. fossor Danzig, 1983 are taxonomically discussed and illustrated. Longicoccuscerariferus Danzig, 1975 and L. divnogoricus Gavrilov, 2003 are transferred to the genus Fonscolombia Lichtenstein, 1877; thus, the new combinations Fonscolombia cerarifera, comb. n. and F. divnogorica, comb. n. are formed.

Improvement of soddy-podzolic soils results in an increase of species richness and abundance of the most common epigeic predatory ground beetle and rove beetle species (Coleoptera: Carabidae, Staphylinidae) in the agrocenoses of Northwestern Russia.
Ponomarenko, M. G.
The functional morphology of the male genitalia of Holcophora statices Stgr., Nothris verbascella (Den. et Schiff.) and Ananarsia lineatella (Zell.) is described. The genus Holcophora Hbn. is placed into the tribe Gelechiini based on the peculiarities of the skeleton-muscular apparatus of the male genitalia. Ananarsia Ams. is treated as a separate genus owing to a complex of differences from the genus Anarsia Zell. in skeleton-muscular apparatus of the male genitalia. The relationships between Nothris Hbn. and the tribe Chelariini is confirmed by characters of the functional morphology of the male genitalia.

Structural and functional characteristics of the gypsy moth population in a birch forest were found to be correlated with the level of defoliation and the content of allelochemicals in the foliage. One year after defoliation, the content of flavonoids, total lipid fractions, fatty alcohols, and alcohols increased in the foliage of the heavily (by 75%) damaged trees, whereas the content of free sterols and triterpenes decreased. These changes were associated with low vitality of the insects and a sharp drop in the population density.

The structure and composition of Osmia dimidiata nests were studied based on the material of 133 nests obtained from trap-nests in five localities of the Crimea. The nests contained from 1 to 9 cells (on average, 2.2), separated with partitions made of masticated leaves. Most of the cells had a massive hemispherical bottom and a thin flat cover. The final plug had a structure similar to the cell bottom. The cells occurred singly in the nest cavity or were arranged in rows of 2 or 3 cells separated by galleries. The diameter of the occupied cavities was positively correlated with the fraction of the females in the progeny and with the mass of the cocoons, but negatively correlated with the cell length. The cells with females were 1.5 times as long as those with males. The cocoons with females were twice as heavy as those with males. The peculiar characters of the nest structure of O. dimidiata may mean that the typical nesting substrates of this species are abandoned cells of other bee and wasp species. The characteristic mechanism of estimating the mass of the pollen loaf stored in the cells and determining the brood sex ratio has evolved in the O. dimidiata due to its tenantry. This mechanism is based on two constants: the sex-linked cell length and the fixed distance between the pollen loaf and the cell cover. When choosing the nesting cavities, the female prefers broader and longer tubes for cells with females and narrower and shorter ones for cells with males. The overall sex ratio of the progeny was male-biased (1 ♀: 2.5 ♂) and depended on the food supply abundance. The adults of O. dimidiata fly in the Crimea from the last decade of May until the end of July. Hibernation occurs at the adult stage in the cocoons. Females collect pollen from flowers of Asteraceae or, rarely, Fabaceae. The nests may be destroyed by Melittobia acasta, Monodontomerus aereus, M. obscurus, Sapyga quinquepunctata, Stelis phaeoptera, and Trichodes apiarius; 21% of the progeny died from these enemies, and 22%, due to other factors. The previously proposed synonymy of Pseudosmia taurica Radoszkowski, 1874 (nec Osmia taurica Radoszkowski, 1887) and O. dimidiata is rejected.
Nikulina, O. N.
Larvae of three species of the weevil genus Ceutorhynchus (C. subtilirostris Schultze., C. viator Faust, and C. setosellus Voss) are described from Middle Asia for the first time. The larvae differ in the shape of frons, structure of the labrum, and chaetotaxy of the epicranium, frons, and lacinia. A key to the species described is given.
Vinogradova, E. B.; Reznik, S. Ya.
Photothermal control of the rate of development and of larval diapause in the arctic population of Calliphora vicina from the Lofoten Islands (Northern Norway) was studied under the laboratory conditions. In the temperature range from 8 to 23°C, the rate of development of the studied population from egg to puparium can be well (r = 0.95) approximated by linear regression. The sum of effective temperatures was about 160 degree-days with the lower development threshold of 4.5 ± 0.6°C. The maternal photoperiodic response induced the larval diapause in a significant fraction of individuals only when larvae developed at temperatures of 4–10°C; relatively high proportion of diapausing larvae was recorded even in the progeny of females that were kept under long day conditions. The intensity of the larval diapause was very variable, which was manifested in the separation of diapausing larvae into two fractions differing in the time of pupariation during both spontaneous and induced reactivation.
Komarova, L. A.
The taxonomy of the genus Leptosciarella Tuomikoski, 1960 in the Altai Area within Altai Territory and the Altai Republic was studied. Eleven species were recognized, including three new species which are described and illustrated here: Leptosciarella (L.) ulagana Komarova sp. n., L. (L.) angustistylus Komarova sp. n., L. (L.) senex Komarova sp. n. Additionally, L. (L.) fuscipalpa (Mohrig et Mamaev 1979) and L. (L.) truncata (Tuomikoski 1960) are recorded from Altai for the first time. A key to the Altai species is provided.

Microsiphum Cholodkovsky (Macrosiphini) is a small genus comprising 11 species and subspecies distributed in the Palaearctic Region. After examination of the collection of the Institute of Zoology (Kazakhstan), Microsiphum diversisetosum sp. n. from Artemisia abrotanum (northern and western Kazakhstan) is described. New synonymies are established: M. nudum Holman, 1961 = M. minus Bozhko, 1963, syn. n., M. ptarmicae Cholodkovsky, 1902 = M. heptapotamicum Kadyrbekov, 2000, syn. n. The taxonomic rank of M. procerae subalpicum Mamontova, 1982 stat. n. and M. jazykovi wahlgreni Hille Ris Lambers, 1947 stat. n. is changed. A key to the known taxa of the genus Microsiphum is given.
The stonefly fauna of the Systellognatha group of Russia and adjacent countries comprises 120 species belonging to 43 genera of 5 families. According to the geographical distribution, 12 groups of genera and 16 species-groups are distinguished. Most of the genera belong to the Holarctic (5), Nearctic-Eastern Palaearctic (7), Amphipacific (9), and Western Palaearctic (8) groups; among the species, the Eastern Palaearctic (29), Palaearchearctic (25), and Western Palaearctic (19) ones are prevalent. There are endemic species, especially in the Caucasus and Middle Asia.
Tuzovskij, P. V.
Illustrated descriptions and a detailed morphological and morphometric characterization of females and males of three poorly known species of the genus Sperchon (S. kuluensis Tuzovskij, S. prosperoides Tuzovskij, and S. orientalis Tuzovskij) from northeastern regions of Russia are given. Previously, they were known as deutonymphs. These species are compared with related species of this genus.

The structure of noise generated by honey bee colonies in the course of preparation for sociotomy (swarming, i.e., separation of the young queen and some bees from the parental colony) was studied. Identification of statistically uniform fragments in the temporal structure of the hive noise can be used to determine reliably the readiness to colony fission. The probability of statistically uniform sound fragments being generated increases as the swarm emergence approaches. The role of sound in consolidation of colony members and synchronization of changes in their physiological state is discussed.

The development of Gryllus argentinus Sauss. was studied under stable laboratory conditions: the temperature of 26°C, the air humidity of 60%, and the photoperiod of 12h light: 12 h dark. The life cycle of Gryllus argentinus includes four stages: egg, pronymph, nymph, and adult. The duration of embryonic development is 18 days. The depth of egg bedding in the peat is 9.63 ± 0.12 mm (n =145), the clutch containing 2–4 eggs. A female can lay over 1100 viable eggs during the entire oviposition period. Nymphal development includes 9 instars and lasts 97 days. The duration of nymphal instars (days) is: I—5; II—6; III—6; IV—6; V—8; VI—10; VII—13; VIII—14; IX—29. The duration of the adult life is 51 days in males and 69 days, in females. In the imaginal ontogenesis of males and females, three periods can be distinguished: pre-reproductive, reproductive, and postreproductive. Males start to emit the aggressive signal on the 6th (5–8th) day (the pre-reproductive period). They enter the reproductive period (start to emit the calling song) on the 9th (8–13th) day. Females enter the reproductive period (become capable of responding to the calling song and of copulation) on the 9th (8–10th) day. Oviposition starts on the day after the first copulation. The reproductive period lasts about 40 (15–59) days in males and 58 (21–70) days in females. The post-reproductive period starts in females at the moment of finishing the egg laying period and in males, with disappearance of reproductive behavior. The period ends in the animal's death.

The study of the gut content of several bombyliid species revealed sex-related differences in their diets: the females consumed much more pollen than males. No difference was observed in the consumption of pollen between long-proboscid (Bombylius major, B. canescens, and Systoechus gradatus) and short-proboscid (Hemipenthes maurus and H. morio) species. Both sexes were capable of digestion of pollen. The pollen appears to be accumulated in the crop first and then enter the midgut by large portions.

Distribution of spider mites over cucumber leaves is determined by the topical trophic specialization of the pest manifested in preference for the central leaf zone. After artificial infestation of leaves with female mites, the modified aggregated distribution of the pest depended on the number of mites on the leaf, the morpho-physiological state and stage of development of the leaf and the whole plant, and the cucumber cultivar.
Makarova, O. L.
According to the data of four-year sampling, the territory of the Pinega Reserve (Arkhangelsk Province) is populated by more than 117 gamasid mite species belonging to 18 families. A relative richness of this fauna is obviously associated with intensive karst processes. A number of species (arctic, Siberian, mountainous) is limited to karst localities characterized by low soil temperature and a short vegetation period. When comparing the local Mesostigmata faunas from different regions, it was suggested that only species lists of unspecialized free-leaving forms should be used. Changes in the species richness of separate families and their fraction in the total suborder diversity along the latitudinal gradient from dry steppes to polar deserts are individual, reflecting different ecological potencies. The zone of deciduous forests is characterized by the richest fauna of Mesostigmata as a whole and of the majority of its families. The northern boundaries for the distribution of separate families are outlined. The number of free-leaving species in the families Ascidae, Phytoseiidae, and Zerconidae varies most smoothly along the latitudinal gradient. Even in polar deserts, Ascidae and Phytoseiidae are represented by more than a single species. It is in the taiga that the family Ascidae becomes the most diverse among Mesostigmata. In the tundra zone, this tendency is more pronounced, and in polar deserts this family constitutes 70–83% of species in local faunas, represented mainly by the genus Arctoseius.
Kaplin, V. G.
A new bristletail species, Pedetontinus kabaki sp. n., is described from Sichuan Province, China. It possess faceted eyes clearly longer than wide, with the contact line shorter than 0.5, paired ocelli relatively closer to each other, and fore femur swollen. A key to 18 described species of the world fauna is given. The plesiomorphic and apomorphic states of 13 characters of Pedetontinus are considered; the phylogenetic relationships of species are discussed.
Romanenko, V. N.
Long-term monitoring of population density and species composition of ixodid ticks inhabiting the territory of Tomsk and its outskirts has demonstrated that at least two species (Ixodes persulcatus and I. pavlovskyi) simultaneously inhabit all the biotopes examined. It was found that the fraction of I. pavlovskyi increased in biotopes adjacent to city buildings. I. persulcatus dominated in natural control biotopes, whereas I. pavlovskyi were found in these biotopes as solitary specimens. It was demonstrated that during 15 years of observation (1996–2011), the population density of ticks in the outskirts significantly increased. The combination of ecological and chemical methods of tick control in limited territories can result in a noticeable decrease of tick population density. Two tick species non-typical of the region (Dermacentor reticulatus and Haemaphysalis concinna) were revealed in one biotope.
Panov, E. N.; Opaev, A. S.
The view according to which damselfly males practice two alternative reproductive tactics of access to females is critically discussed. It is widely accepted that some males ("territorial" ones) have priority as potential female partners, while others ("sneakers" or "wanderers") are incapable of retaining an individual territory. They have a chance of mating only by intruding briefly into the area defended by a "territorial" male when a female is present there. Thus, the tactics of a "territorial" male consists in waiting for a female in its territory and copulating with it "by agreement," whereas non-territorial males resort to forced copulations. By observation of individually marked males (48 out of 118) it was shown that every male could be regarded as "territorial" during a certain period and as a "wanderer" before and after it. Thus, no correlation between the modes of space use by a male (residence/mobility) and the characters of its external morphology and/or signal behavior appears to be possible in principle. According to the data obtained, a more plausible explanation is that the female chooses not the male but the best area for oviposition. In addition, it was ascertained that adherence to forced copulations cannot constitute successful "tactics" since they rarely result in insemination, neither by "territorial" nor "non-territorial" males. In other words, we are dealing not with certain alternative tactics (i.e., specialized adaptive mechanisms that have evolved in the species) but simply with the results of different sets of circumstances at a given moment.
Proviz, V. I.
The karyotype and morphology of the Palaearctic chironomid, Chironomus wulkeri Filinkova et Belyanina 1993, inhabiting the Baikal coast were studied. The banding patterns of chromosomal arms B, C, and D are presented for the first time. The karyotype and chromosome polymorphism of Ch. wulkeri from the Baikal population have no significant difference from those in northern Sweden and the Polar Ural populations. One heterozygous inversion in arm A was found in 38% of larvae. A comparative morphological analysis of 46 quantitative characters of larvae from Baikal region and the Polar Urals showed that they did not differ from each other. However, there are some differences in the width of the ventromental plates and height of the mentum.
Kipyatkov, V. E.; Lopatina, E. B.
The main parameters (thermal constants) characterizing the effects of constant temperatures on the duration and rate of development in ectotherms are considered. The advantages and drawbacks of the linear and nonlinear models describing the dependence of the development rate on temperature are discussed. The main patterns of interspecific variation of thermal constants in insects are described. The development of new ideas in the study of intraspecific variation of thermal reaction norms for development in insects is examined. The discrepancies in the data and their interpretation in this field are shown to result mostly from using the traditional methods of determining thermal constants. According to this method, the development rates calculated as reciprocals of the mean development times at each experimental temperature are used for regression analysis. The standard errors calculated according to this method are usually too large. Instead, a fundamentally new method is employed by the authors, according to which the individual development rates calculated for each individual are used for regression analysis of the reciprocals of the mean development times. This method reduces the standard errors of thermal constants by about an order and reveals significant differences between populations and other groups of insects. New data on intraspecific variation of the thermal reaction norms for development in Myrmica ants, the linden bug Pyrrhocoris apterus, and Calliphora blowflies are briefly described and discussed. The possible adaptive significance of these forms of intraspecific variation is discussed. The prospects of research in this new field are outlined.
Piterkina, T. V.
The diel periodicity of vertical migrations of herbage-dwelling spiders has been studied in natural habitats of clay semidesert of the northern Caspain (Transvolga) region. Steppe habitats (microdepressions) and desert habitats (microelevations) are shown to have much in common: the abundance and the family composition of spider populations of both biotopes are similar; they slightly differ only during the hot summer season. The amplitude of diel fluctuations in spider abundance is relatively great, which is typical of open cenoses under semiarid conditions. In spring and autumn, the peaks of spider abundance in both types of habitats are at night, when air temperature is minimal. In summer, in addition to the nighttime abundance peaks, there are daytime peaks of similar size, due mostly to the increased activity of "southern" taxa, the Thomisidae in desert associations and the Thomisidae + Salticidae in steppe associations. The diel periodicity of vertical migrations in hortobiontic spiders is a complicated phenomenon determined by a number of factors. It is to some extent conditioned by environmental parameters and by vertical migrations of their potential prey, phytophagous insects. Thus, the ecological niches in spiders of different taxa are separated in time according to their morphological and behavioral adaptation to climatic conditions. This separation probably alleviates competition between populations of different taxa.
Korsunovskaya, O. S.
Three basic trends in the development of acoustic communication in Tettigonioidea are distinguished. The first one is observed in predatory tettigoniids and conocephalids. It is associated with the improvement of the territorial behavior and results in the appearance of territorial, aggressive and protest sounds (only males stridulate) in the acoustic repertoire. The second trend is caused by the development of defensive mechanisms. It is observed in phytophagous katydids belonging to the family Bradyporidae dwelling in deserts and other exposed habitats. As a rule, their acoustic repertoire includes long-lasting calling songs and disturbance (protest) sounds; rather often, these sounds are produced both by males and females. The unmasking effect of signals is compensated for by specific defense adaptations. The third evolutionary tendency is most completely expressed in phytophagous Phaneropteridae and phytophilous Bradyporidae (Ephippigerinae) as a result of the predator press and the improvement of sexual behavior. It leads to appearance of a "slow" system of communication, when the unmasking effect of songs is minimized by the decrease in the acoustic activity of males. Females produce response signals, while males produce complex calling, courtship, and confirming sounds. The temporal pattern of a signal is one of the most reliable criteria for the discrimination of species and subspecies. It is difficult to use physical parameters of sounds as a criterion for the differentiation of taxa at the superspecies rank, since acoustical signalling is obviously a subject of evolution of the acoustic community rather than of the taxon. Parallelisms and convergences are observed in the evolution of acoustic communication systems, but complex analysis allows revealing the initial type of the acoustic system and defining the reasons for adaptive reorganizations.
Tshernyshev, S. E.
Analysis of species of Dromanthomorphus Pic from South-East Asia has shown that the genus is distinguished by the following special male characters: flabellate, serrate, or filiform antennae; one-colored white pubescence of the surface; a swollen metathorax with a gladiate appendage; stout and excavate fore and middle tibiae; elongate and modified fore and middle coxae; apical tergites with a specific slanting and tile-like sculpture at the apex; apical abdominal sternites bilaciniate, with specifically sculptured apices. These characters are completely lacking in the Palaearctic species attributed to Dromanthomorphus, which are characterized by flabellate or serrate antennae, by a simple, not swollen metathorax lacking appendages, double white and black pubescence of the surface, simple, evenly rounded apical abdominal tergites, and evenly narrowed apical abdominal sternites emarginate in the middle and having simple, not sculptured apices. Based on these differences, a new genus, Pectapalochrus gen. n., is described for the Palaearctic species. Keys to Pectapalochrus species and to genera of Apalochrini of Eurasia and also illustrations of the habitus and male structures of the new genus are given.

There were worries that the midfielder had suffered a fracture in the final minute of their 1-0 win over Stevenage on Tuesday night.
Winger Wes Fogden could continue at left-back after Marcos Painter was recalled by parent club Brighton due to an injury to Wayne Bridge. The 26-year-old made two appearances during his month-long stay with the Cherries.
Charlie Daniels is ruled out through injury while Matt Ritchie had to come off in the first half of Tuesday's victory.
Manager Eddie Howe will be hoping that the former Swindon man is fit for the trip after having eight stitches in a cut above his eye.
The Cherries got back to winning ways against Stevenage to end a run of five straight defeats.

It's A Celebration Time For AR Murugadoss' Raja Rani Team
It's a happy 50 for Fox Star Studios and AR Murugadoss' Raja Rani team featuring Arya and Nayantara! The film will complete 50 days at the Box Office on Friday (November 15th) and has already amassed more than 50 crores at the Tamil Box Office, making it the fourth Tamil biggest grosser of 2013 and one of the biggest romantic comedies of all time.
Raja Rani's dream run at the Box Office also marks a hatrick for Fox Star Studios and AR Murugadoss' partnership that started in 2011 with breakaway hit Engaeyum Eppothum. Endorsed by the audiences and the critics, the film has worked for its refreshing content, Atlee's deft direction and for its ground-breaking marketing campaign before the release, that set it buzzing.
Talking about the film's successful run and the fact that even after 50 days the film is still running into packed theatres, debutant Atlee Kumar says,"This is a dream come true. I couldn't have asked for more. I am eternally grateful to the audiences and the critics for all their love and support, and to the film industry for welcoming my maiden venture with such warmth and love."

Why are we The Rebel State? It's a nod to Jenn and John's stint in the sports department of The Sacramento Bee, where they were part of a merry band of fun-loving, trash-talking, exceptionally snarky co-workers that occupied a corner of cubicles in the office. That merry band of co-workers lovingly called themselves "The Rebel State."

Publisher's Description
The greatest of all tragedies must be that of the person who dies just outside the gate of life. They are standing, as it were, just outside the Wicket gate to the church grounds - seeing the beauty of the building, knowing the people going in - but not stepping over the threshold themselves.Almost saved but altogether lost.
This is a book of immeasurable value to those who have some knowledge of the Christian Faith but who are resisting God's call to commit their lives to him. No Christian should be without a copy, to either lend or give away to a friend or acquaintance who may be lingering at the gate.
'Around the wicket Gate' is written in Spurgeon's unique style - sharp, penetrating, and easily readable. One of the most quoted preachers of modern times, his sermons have proved to be a blessing to millions. For someone thinking about Christianity, who has yet to accept Christ as their saviour, reading this book could be the most important step they ever take.

Dan5 Stars Out Of 5March 7, 2009DanI read this book just before I dedicated my life to Christ. It answered those last, lingering questions that were keeping me from making a decision for Christ. I highly recommend this book for those who are "around the gate (Christ)" but have not decided to go through it yet.
Jeremy Gardiner5 Stars Out Of 5January 17, 2009Jeremy GardinerExcellent book! It's written to those who know the gospel, who want to be a Christian but haven't experienced the regenerating work of Christ in their life. In other terms, it's for those who want to believe, but don't know how to. Very readable and filled with many analogies. Highly recommended.

Long story short: We moved into our 4500sq antique home April 2013. I called AHS for handful of plumbing issues, all of which could have been fixed in 2 visits tops. Jan 2014 and I'm still dealing with the fallout these issues. What it boils down to is that AHS does not have it's end client in mind, and their structure incentivizes their technicians to prolong the work and create more issues in your home so that they can come back and charge more, I've gone through 3 technicians, all 3 had the same M.O. AHS looses out on this structure as well, so it makes no sense to me.
Bottom line, I'm out $500, plus the cost of the plan, so over $1000. Not to mention countless hours on the phone with AHS, days where I was chained to the house because I had to wait for multiple and unnecessary technician visits, and aggravation. In the end, I would have been significantly better off without the plan, which on top of it all is limited and has all sorts of restrictions on it.
Frankly, it's the most useless thing you could do, and you might as well shoot yourself in the foot if you buy a plan with AHS.

BOSTON (AP) — The judge overseeing the trial of Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger says he won't weigh in on an appeals court hearing into whether he should step down in the case.
The decision by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Stearns, a federal prosecutor in the 1980s, came in a one-paragraph filing Wednesday.
The Boston Globe reports (http://bo.st/WHSwyA) that Stearns says in the filing that he will defer to his previous decisions, in which he says he has no conflict of interest overseeing the case.
Bulger, a former FBI informant, says Stearns knew or should have known about his relationship with the FBI, including Bulger's claim that he received immunity for his crimes for serving as an informant. Bulger denies participating in 19 murders.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals hearing is scheduled for Jan. 8.

In this Family Fraud Alert, the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs is asking small businesses owners to be aware of grant scams.
One scam that's making the rounds is one in which a person or business is asked to sign-up and then pay for a seminar.
The seminar then provides them with grant information that can be gathered for free from the government.
Other times, people pay up-front fees for information on grants that they will never receive.
The best thing to remember is that government grant information is free and you never need to pay up-front fees to get them.

Cal and the great escape reunited and CAL decided to replace my spa. the great escape charged me $500.00 to haul away the old spa with all the mold!
They delilvered me a spa with no insulation. I live in Illilnois and the winters are brutal. I cannot use the spa. This will be the second year with this spa on my deck not connected.
Cal spa promised to send me the insulation kit that is on back order. According to other big spa companies you cannot install the insulation kit after shipping due to the intense heat generated that will cause the O rings to crack and cause a leak.
The Warranty states they are not liable for leaks associated with freezing. the great escape thought that I would connect the spa and once it froze in the winter they would be rid of me.
They have treated me bad for years. I have a herniated disk in the 5th vertebra and have been without my spa now for 3 years and the great escape will not help me get an insulated spa!
Ted (a family member)at the great escape said that he was not in the charity business. He and the owners refuse to replace my spa correctly.
It is really sad when big business misuse the consumer!

Thanks to the service man, I was given a full box of chemicals for my troubles.
Even so, I would not recommend buying anything from this store because of the way I was treated by certain employees.

""Those old cows knew trouble was coming before we did." "So begins the story of Lily Casey Smith, Jeannette Walls's no-nonsense, resourceful, and spectacularly compelling grandmother. By age six, Lily was helping her father break horses. At fifteen, she left home to teach in a frontier town--riding five hundred miles on her pony, alone, to get to her job. She learned to drive a car and fly a plane. And, with her husband, Jim, she ran a vast ranch in Arizona. She raised two children, one of whom is Jeannette's memorable mother, Rosemary Smith Walls, unforgettably portrayed in "The Glass Castle." Lily survived tornadoes, droughts, floods, the Great Depression, and the most heartbreaking personal tragedy. In this true-life novel, Jeannette Walls channels the life of an incredible woman. Destined to be a classic, "Half Broke Horses "will transfix readers everywhere.

Well-paced, western story not encumbered by traditional romanticized notions found in the genre. Able to provide a realistic glimpse into life during a particular interest period of US history while keeping things relatively light and entertaining.

If you've read The Glass Castle by Waller, you'll find Half Broke Horses is a more cheerful book. Having lived in the Mid-West for many years, I appreciate the pioneer spirit so evident in this "creative non-fiction". However, several events in Waller's first book, now make better sense after reading the prequel to Glass Castle. Both are interesting examinations of the ability to overcome adversity. Waller acknowledges the strength of the human spirit in a simple, yet unique way.

Probably one of the best books I have read in the last year. It is one of those that is hard to put down until you have finished reading it....and then wishing there was more.
The author has the gift of making you feel like you are there from beginning to end.

To the Editor:
—In the February number of McClure's Magazine, I am quoted in an article by R. H. Schauffler as backing Bernard Shaw's charges against the medical profession, except his attitude on animal experimentation. Shaw's attack is summarized in his own words, including the following sentence: "Most doctors have no honor and no conscience." Other sentences in Shaw's habitual exaggerative style follow, and my approval of them all is assumed. The facts of the matter are as follows:In the Survey, June 3, 1911, I wrote, at the request of that magazine, a review of Shaw's play entitled, "The Doctor's Dilemma," and said that as regards "Mr. Shaw's principal theses and in the main, I find myself heartily in agreement with him." I did not suppose that any one would take Shaw seriously enough as to suppose that a ridiculous calumny, such as the statement that "most doctors have

They installed my service and I had a refer a friend yet that $10 credit was not showing up. I gave them my debit card number for an auto pay to get free hd service. My bill was suppose to be one amount yet it was much higher.
I called in they "fixed it" wait time was minimal.
Although my bill would arrive in at one amount yet my credit card was billed another for my entire first year, it was generally just a few dollars so I let it slide. Adding up all these "few dollars" I discovered I had paid in an extra $48 in the first year. I did not have movie channels either and my bill stayed around $52-$65 per month in the first year. Since my programming didn't change I am not sure why the flucuations.
My first year was up and my July bill came in at $99.02! Still no movie channels but apparently all my "deals" have dropped off. Fine, I reduced my channels to get it more comfortable but that left me with a $77 bill and very minimal channels- no movies, no hd channels (even though I'm getting "free" hd for paying by cc monthly). I lost trutv, boom, a few of my kids channels, etc. but yet my bill is still that much money! My cc was charged $69.02 after the adjustments and reduction in programming was done. Since I auto pay, I pay what they charge.
Frustrated I called back about 2 weeks of having minimal channels. I spoke to a rep who said she would do this and that and that and this and give me 3 months of the hd movie channel (which is lame not like hbo, cinemax, tmc, encore or antying) She said my bill would Techincally be about $69.99 plus tax. However I would get a $20 credit due to something she was doing to "help me". I agreed. Surely tax would put it right around $70/mo or less. However with all the credits from having low packages and all that my bill would be lower for August.
Needless to say my August bill came in and I owed $103! Where is the savings? I didn't get anything extra. I called in and they first said it was the fact I paid 69.02 instead of 99 for that previous month. Well I paid what THEY AUTO BILLED ME (and I have paid extra than billed for a whole year!). I didn't say only pay this much- they took what they charged to my card! Then I asked what happened to my credits from a reduction in services for half a month, he couldn't explain.
I was speaking to "Joe" at this point who told me pretty much pay the 103! I said no cancel. My husband was calling our bank on the other phone to cancel my credit card just in case. he said no I owe the money I have to pay. I explained- I owe nothing- this is a PREPAYMENT for services I haven't even used yet! Well he said the last rep gave me wrong information. I demanded a supervisor and spoke to "Ruben" who kept telling me someone else made an error on my bill.
How is this my fault? In my calculations I have over paid by $48 already! I'm on the select package now with 3 receivers- one is suppose to be free and I have hd access but only 2 hd receivers and the hd is free from giving them my cc. Yet my bill is $82.37 after tax! They are not reasonable. I'm so irritated over this. They made errors and over charged me and boom they think I can hemmorage money to them. Anyone else have this crazy billing issue and MASSIVE charges after the first year?? My bill would be double the first year bills monthly had I NOT reduced to the minimal package.

The power behind the new MacBook Pro is all under the hood, most notably the quad core Intel i7 Ivy Bridge processor, running at a 2.7-GHz clock speed, with turbo boost speeds up to 3.7 GHz. It also has 16 GB of memory (really fast memory, Apple claims). Combine that with the NVidia graphics processor (not to mention 1 GB of video memory), and you've got a pretty phenomenal media monster machine. Apple says that the battery life is seven hours. All of this comes at a price: the new MacBook Pro with Retina display starts at $2,199.

Has anyone else experienced that their cache plugins actually slow their site down more than deactivating them all together? I recently upgraded to WordPress 3.3 and the plugin I'm using is W3 Total Cache. I noticed that it took a considerable amount of time to navigate through my pages and admin panel. Then I deactivated the plugin and things sped up more than 2x. Whether it's just because 3.3 is so new, or it was just cause my own configurations, I just wanted to see if other people noticed this as well.
Also this is my first time posting on the forums so I'm seeing what kind of response this might get.

Every loan shark don't care what they know, but they care only when you are going to start the process. They get money up front and huge interest later. Now you know that you need to be very careful when you deal with this type of business.
PS: "with advanced knowledge that I had not filed taxes" statement is not admissible in court because it is hearsay. You will need to elaborate that into a real interation conversation.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I purchased several windows and a main entrance door. It took almost 6 months before they came out and did the job. After all the delays they bring out a door 6 inches narrower than the door opening. I had to point it out to the installers before they started removing the old door (complete idiots). Several weeks later they return with a door minus the side lights as ordered. They failed miserably as far as I'm concerned and had to give me a partial refund for what they laked the skill to complete.
The spineless salesman refused to return my calls.
I later found I could have purchased the exact door from the same place Landmark purchased it from for half the price.
Beware when dealing with this company! I will only now deal with local companies (I live in Ajax). Something to be said about a St. Catherine's company doing work in Durham Region.

I have had Time Warner internet service since April, 2013. I have sold my house and decided to cancel my internet service with Time Warner. After going to thei.r place of business the customer service person said I have been double charged for the wireless internet service since I have had the service. I asked for a credit or refund and was told they are not required to give credit.
How does this company get away with this. This is nothing but ROBBERY!

Told by Time Warner
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 11, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, December 11, 2013
I was informed of the overcharge by Time Warner when I went into their place of business. Since all of my payments were over the internet am unable supply billings.

Need evidence

If you were told (only), I am afraid that your report has no water. We need to see the evidence (i.e. your monthly bill with charge detail). Anyone can make this kind of report and it is easy to make a false claim on the Internet...
