June 30, 2006 Contributions to the Halictid Fauna of the Eastern Palaearctic Region: Genus Seladonia Robertson (Hymenoptera: Halictidae, Halictinae) Yuri A. PESENKO Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, 199034 St. Petersburg, Russia Abstract. This paper presents the results of a taxonomic study of the bees of the genus Seladonia from the Eastern Palaearctic Region. Two new species, S. leleji sp. n. and S. nikolskayae sp. n. from the Primorskii Territory of Russia, are described. A new synonymy is established: S. tumulorum fer- ripennis (Cockerell, 1929) = S. tumulorum higashi (Sakagami et Ebmer, 1979), syn. n. The taxonomic rank of S. gobiensis (Ebmer, 1982), originally described as a subspecies of S. pseudovestita (Blüthgen, 1925), is raised to specific status. The lectotypes ofHalictus semitectus Morawitz, 1874; H. mongolicus Morawitz, 1880; H. confluens Morawitz, 1890 [= S. aeraria (Smith, 1873)] and H. pjalmensis gasc- hunicus Blüthgen, 1935 are designated. Seven species, S. aeraria (Smith), S. argilos (Ebmer), S. go- biensis (Ebmer), S. indefinita (Blüthgen), S. petraea (Blüthgen), S. pjalmensis (Strand) and S. placidula (Blüthgen), are recorded from Mongolia for the first time. A total of 24 species of the genus Seladonia were found in the Eastern Palaearctic Region. A key to all species is given, except for the female of S. opacoviridis (Ebmer, 2005). An annotated list of the species includes data for each species on its syn- onymy, general geographical distribution, published records from the Eastern Palaearctic Region, and the material examined. Key words: Halictidae, Seladonia, Eastern Palaearctic Region, taxonomy, key, distribution.

  • Russian Environmental Problems
    Conflict Studies Research Centre Russi an Series 06/41 Defence Academy of the United Kingdom Russian Environmental Problems Dr Mark A Smith Key Points * Russia inherited a grave environmental legacy from the Soviet Union. Air and water pollution are extremely high and have had an extremely deleterious effect on health. * Spending on environmental protection is very low, and is insufficient to clean up the environment. Most major projects are funded by international institutions * Efforts to uncover information regarding pollution at nuclear and military facilities is hampered by the state’s concern to maintain security. * Environmental controls and monitoring capacity have been reduced since 2000. The state places more emphasis on economic growth than countering pollution. Consciousness of environmental issues amongst the population is relatively low. * NGOs play a major role in attempting to raise consciousness and to lobby for environmental conservation and controls. The leadership however is generally averse to such activities, particularly if they have international connections. 06/41 Russian Environmental Problems Dr Mark A Smith This paper will give a brief overview of the general environmental situation in the Russian Federation, and the post-Soviet leadership’s policies towards the environment and pollution.1 A General Overview of the Environmental Situation The Soviet Union bequeathed the Russian Federation an unenviable environmental and ecological legacy. The emphasis that the Soviet system had placed on heavy industry, largely for the purposes of national security, meant that environmental concerns took second place to the need for industrial development. Little concern was expressed during the Soviet period over environmental issues, although it would be wrong to say that there was complete silence.

  • Borne Encephalitis Virus Strains and Their Pathogenic Properties
    The Relationship between the Structure of the Tick- Borne Encephalitis Virus Strains and Their Pathogenic Properties Sergei I. Belikov1*, Ilya G. Kondratov1, Ulyana V. Potapova1, Galina N. Leonova2 1 Limnological Institute, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Irkutsk, Russia, 2 Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Vladivostok, Russia Abstract Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is transmitted to vertebrates by taiga or forest ticks through bites, inducing disease of variable severity. The reasons underlying these differences in the severity of the disease are unknown. In order to identify genetic factors affecting the pathogenicity of virus strains, we have sequenced and compared the complete genomes of 34 Far-Eastern subtype (FE) TBEV strains isolated from patients with different disease severity (Primorye, the Russian Far East). We analyzed the complete genomes of 11 human pathogenic strains isolated from the brains of dead patients with the encephalitic form of the disease (Efd), 4 strains from the blood of patients with the febrile form of TBE (Ffd), and 19 strains from patients with the subclinical form of TBE (Sfd). On the phylogenetic tree, pathogenic Efd strains formed two clusters containing the prototype strains, Senzhang and Sofjin, respectively. Sfd strains formed a third separate cluster, including the Oshima strain. The strains that caused the febrile form of the disease did not form a separate cluster. In the viral proteins, we found 198 positions with at least one amino acid residue substitution, of which only 17 amino acid residue substitutions were correlated with the variable pathogenicity of these strains in humans and they authentically differed between the groups.
