Recent Collections of Odonata from the Kuril Islands Species Diversity, 1998, 3, 75-80 Recent Collections of Odonata from the Kuril Islands Dennis R. Paulson1, Noboru Minakawa2, and Robert I. Gara2 'Slater Museum ofNatural History, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA 98416, USA 2College ofForest Resources, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98125, USA (Received 9 December 1996; Accepted 30 September 1997) Seventeen species of Odonata were collected in 1994-1996 from 21 localities in the Kuril Islands. Mnais pruinosa, Aeshna nigroflava, Cordulia aenea, and Pseudothemis zonata are first records from the archipelago, and the last species represents a significant range extension from Honshu. Enallagma belyshevi is synonymized with E. circulatum, which is considered a valid species rather than a subspecies of E. boreale. Key Words: Enallagma, Kuril Islands, Odonata. Introduction During a joint American/Japanese/Russian biotic survey of the Kuril Islands during the summers of 1994, 1995, and 1996, Odonata were collected in the southern islands of Zelionyi, Kunashir, and Iturup. All specimens are currently housed at the School of Fisheries, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington. The Kuril Island Archipelago forms the eastern boundary of the Sea of Okhotsk and a bridge between Hokkaido (43°23'N, 145°49'E), the northernmost island of Japan, and the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka (50°52'N, 156°32'E). The island chain consists of 34 islands, ranging in size from 0.15 to 3200km2. All of the Kuril Islands are volcanic in origin, ranging in age from Upper Cretaceous to late Pleistocene. The islands are often covered with fog in summer and by snow the rest of the year. Each island's fauna has been shaped by its own geological history, channel depths, and currents, as well as the proximity to mainland biota. List of Localities 1.

Kuril Islands Odonata 77 Species Recorded CALOPTERYGIDAE Mnais pruinosa costalis Selys, 1869. Kunashir 14 (2o3o7'); first Kuril record. This is the northernmost of the three Mnais taxa recognized from Japan, considered a subspecies of M. pruinosa Selys, 1853 by Asahina (1976) but possibly deserving species status (Suzuki etal. 1980). Only one of the two males (both hyaline-winged) shows the yellow anterior half of the poststernum characteristic of M. p. costalis according to Asahina (1976), but similar polymorphism occurs in Japan as well (Suzuki and Eguchi 1979). LESTIDAE Lestes sponsa (Hansemann, 1823). Kunashir 11 (3-f £). COENAGRIONIDAE Coenagrion ecornutum (Selys, 1872). Kunashir 15 (2c/1 o71). This continental species barely occurs on the islands, in the Kurils and Hokkaido (Tsuda 1991). Enallagma circulatum Selys, 1883. Zelionyi 1 (1<A 1 *), 2 (lo*. 1 *), 3 (lo*), 4 (lo", 1*,2 larvae), 5 (3^^); Kunashir 6 (7c/V, 2£ £, 2 larvae), 10 (lo*), 15 (11 0*0*, 1*); Iturup 18(6c/V, IS), 19 (30*0*), 20 (lo^), 21 (12c/V, 1*); first Zelionyi record. Recorded from the Kuril Islands as E. sp. by Okumura (1941), as E. deserti yezoensis by Asahina (1958), and as E. circulatum by Belyshev et al. (1976), this taxon is called E. boreale circulatum in Japan (Ishida et al. 1988, Bridges 1993). Japanese populations cannot be conspecific with Enallagma boreale Selys, 1876, as both a single male from Hokkaido in the senior author's collection and the series here examined from the Kurils, although superficially like E. boreale, differ from that species structurally in all characters used to distinguish similar species of Enallagma, namely the male superior appendages and penis and the female mesostigmal laminae (Walker 1953; Donnelly 1963). Although we have no specimens with which to compare them, these populations are also unlikely to be conspecific with E. deserti (Selys, 1871), as formerly listed, because of their great geographic separation; E. deserti is known only from northwestern Africa (Lieftinck 1966) and E. circulatum (with subspecies E. c. continentale Belyshev 1956) from eastern Asia (Tsuda 1991). Although making no taxonomic judgments, Seidenbusch (1997) listed differences between E. boreale and each of the other nominal taxa that correspond to species differences in closely related Enallagma. Belyshev et al. (1976) listed Enallagma belyshevi Haritonov, 1975 from Iturup and Kunashir. In their collections, it was much the most abundant of the two species of the genus, with 103 specimens collected versus six of E. circulatum. Among the 48 males examined for this study, all match the description of E. belyshevi because of the extensive black coloration on the abdominal dorsum and the narrow stripe on the second lateral suture of the thorax. However, the specimens vary greatly in the amount of black on the abdomen. The paired black spots on segment 8, considered characteristic of E. belyshevi by Haritonov (1975), vary continuously from absent to filling the entire segment with black. A minority of the specimens show black stripes on the sides of the abdominal segments, considered characteristic of E. circulatum by Haritonov (1975); however, none shows stripes as pronounced as those in Haritonov's illustration of that species. Specimens with more black on segment 8 78 D. R. Paulson, N. Minakawa, and R. I. Gara were more likely to show black stripes on the sides of the segments. The extensive black coloration of these Kuril specimens is comparable to the geographic variation in North America of E. boreale and E. cyathigerum (Charpentier, 1840), in which northern individuals often exhibit much more extensive black markings (Walker 1953). Seidenbusch (1997) also found no morphological differ ences between E.

Bottom pressure gauges were installed in several harbors of Shikotan Island, near Cape Lovtsov (north-eastern end of Kunashir Island), in the Kitoviy Bay (Iturup Island) and near Cape Van-der-Lind (Urup Island). Sakhalin Tsunami Center has a cable telemetry tsunami warning station in the Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island). Two tsunamis - a remote Samoa (September 30) and nearby Simushir tsunami (January 15) were recorded by different gauges in the area of South Kuril Islands and by telemetry station in Severo-Kurilsk. To examine spectral properties of long wave oscillations at each gauge, we calculated power spectral estimation using two different data segments (both 1 day length): the period preceding the tsunami event, we identified as “normal” and selected for analysis of the background signal; the “tsunami period” included tsunami caused oscillations.

  • How to Deal with Russia （Cultural Internationalism Rather Than Territorial Dispute）
    How To Deal With Russia （Cultural Internationalism Rather Than Territorial Dispute） Hideaki Kinoshita Introduction Considering relations with Russia, it appears to be imperative among the Japanese people to raise the question of the Northern Territories, which comprises the islands of Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu. It is because the issue is perceived by the Japanese people as the apparent act of unprovoked aggression initiated during the final stages of World War II by Russian’s illegal and perfidious attack on the Chishima Islands with a sudden shift from relations of friendship to enmity. Japan was actually courting the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics（USSR） to perform as an intermediary for the armistice with the Allied Forces. Russian’s sudden attack unilaterally abrogating the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact concluded in April, 1941 was baffling for the Japanese government, and aroused the impression to the Japanese that they were duped to the committing to the agreement. The agreement specified mutual respect of territorial integrity and inviolability as well as neutrality should one of the contracting parties become the object of hostilities of any third party（Slavinsky 1996: 129）. The Soviet attack no doubt was executed within the validity period of the pact and after the Japanese notification of accepting the Potsdam Declaration on August 15, 1945, and even continued after concluding the armistice on the Battleship Missouri on September 2, 1945（Iokibe, Hatano 2015: 311）. The concept, advocated by the government, of “inherent” Japanese Northern Territories helped foment the idea of the so called “residual” legal rights to the four islands in the Japanese public psyche.

  • Two Great Kamchatka Tsunamis, 1737 and 1952 V.K
    TWO GREAT KAMCHATKA TSUNAMIS, 1737 AND 1952 V.K. Gusiakov IUGG Tsunami Commission, Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics, Siberian Division, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pr.Lavrentieva, 6, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia, Email: [email protected] Abstract. The paper is devoted to the comparative study of the two most destructive tsunamis occurred in Kuril-Kamchatka area – October 16, 1737 and November 4, 1952. The Kuril- Kamchatka region is characterized by a very high level of seismic and volcanic activities and it is one of the main tsunami-prone areas in the Pacific. Great earthquakes here are associated with the subduction of the Pacific plate under the Eurasian plate, that occurs along the narrow zone between the axis of the deep-water trench and the island chain. The historical tsunami catalog for the Kuril-Kamchatka region covers the period of 260 years and lists 115 tsunamigenic events with 10 of them resulting in the perceptible damage and loss of lives. Among these destructive tsunamis there are two events which considerably surpass all others in terms of their intensity and the magnitude of damage. They are the October 16, 1737 and the November 4, 1952 tsunamis associated with two most severe and damageable earthquakes whenever occurred in this area. While the 1952 tsunami was the most damageable event in the area for this century, the 1737 tsunami was obviously the strongest event in the Kuril-Kamchatka region whenever observed and one of the largest tsunamis in the Pacific historically known. Such an event, should it happens in the present days, would result in the heavy catastrophe for the Northern Kuriles and the whole eastern coast of Kamchatka.

Benjamin Fitzhugh Anthropology This research assesses the effects of environmental conditions on the strategic decisions of low-density foragers in regards to their stone tool raw material procurement and consumption behavior. Social as well as technological adaptations allow human groups to meet the challenges of environments that are circumscribed due to geographic isolation, low biodiversity, and the potential impacts of natural events. Efficient resource management and participation in social networks can be viewed within the framework of human behavioral ecology as optimal forms of behavior aimed at increasing the chances of successful adaptations to dynamic island environments. A lithic resource consumption behavioral model is constructed and predictions derived from the model are tested through the analysis of lithic flake debitage from artifact assemblages representing 2,100 years of human occupation in the Kuril Islands of Far Eastern Russia in the North Pacific Ocean. The relative proportions of debitage across lithic reduction sequence stages provides a measure of lithic reduction intensity, which is compared with the model predictions based on the environmental conditions and local availability of lithic resources in six archaeological sites.
