This Conference was a special event for our Programme. Benedykt Dybowski was a person, whose life is connected with Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. He was one of those people, whose genius knew no borders and his scientific heritage is of global significance. The Conference is one of the several events commemorating the 15th anniversary of CBC Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine and as such, it has symbolic meaning for us – scientists from the three countries had an opportunity to meet together and discuss the topics, which are beyond the borders. Benedykt Dybowski, his extraor- dinary life and his research work were topics which joined these people. In addition to this, for many of them, being able to literary "touch" the results of B. Dybowski’s work, visit the places where he lived and worked was an important and unique ex- perience. Taking the opportunity, I would like to thank the Lviv Ivan Franko National Univer- sity, which hosted the event, in particular, to the people working in the Zoological Museum, who continue the traditions of its founder, Benedykt Dybowski. We are also grateful for the input of our partners and co-organizers - John Paul II Catholic 7 University of Lublin and А. М. Shirokov Institute of Modern Knowledge (Minsk) as well as of all our speakers and participants. We hope that in future our Programme will continue cooperating with high schools and academic communities of the three countries. Sincerely Yours, Paweł Słowikowski Head of the Joint Technical Secretariat Cross-border Cooperation Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine 2014-2020 8 Among many Poles deported by the Tsarist Russia in the 19th century to Siberia, there were those who used the difficult situation of exile in order to carry out research acti- vity. Bronisław Piłsudski led pioneer ethnographic studies among the Ainus. Wacław Sieroszewski described the life of the Koreans, Ainus and Jakut communities. Edward Piekarski was examining the language of these all above-mentioned populations. Ewa Felinska conducted ethnographic observations of Ostiaks and Samogitians. The- se are just examples of exiles who saved tribal cultures from oblivion, which without these unique researches would not be able to revive their identity after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Benedykt Dybowski, a naturalist and doctor, the researcher of Lake Baikal, the Far East and Kamchatka was one of these explorers. Being in exile, he began his research in Siberia in 1865. It started near Sivakova not far from Chita, then continued in Da- rasunia on the slopes of the Yablonovy Mountains and in the village of Kultuk on the Baikal Lake. Then he investigated the Amur, Ussuriysk and Nadmorski areas, conduc- ted fauna research in the Onon and Argun river valleys, crossed the northern part of the Mongolian Chubsugul lake, traveled along the Argun and Amur, reached the lakes of Chanka and Vladivostok, and finally got to know the fauna of the Ussuri River. Even before he began working at the Department of Zoology of Lviv University, and after obtaining a permit for returning to Poland, he carried out an expedition to Kamchatka and nearby Commander Islands including the Bering Island. It was too much for one person, several biographies could have been written abo- ut his life. When he was arrested for underground activity, he was imprisoned in the X Pavilion of the Warsaw Citadel and sentenced to death by hanging, he was to be 9 forgotten by the history. The death penalty was changed to 12 years of exile, which paradoxically opened a new chapter of life before Dybowski, the fruits of which we still benefit from. I would like to thank the conference organizers and editors of this publication devo- ted to this extraordinary person for taking up issues that are so important both for science and for the history of our nation. The Rev. Prof. Dr Hab. Antoni Dębiński Rector of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin 10 Benedykt

  • Ukrainians and Poles Timothy Snyder
    8 Ukrainians and Poles timothy snyder Europe’s road to Muscovy passed through Warsaw and Kyiv (Kiev). Despite what one reads in books, the Renaissance and Reformation did reach Muscovy, if by this most indirect route. In the middle of the seventeenth century,Ortho- dox clerics trained in the rhetoric and languages of the Polish Renaissance and Reformation settled in Moscow.As Muscovy’s political power extended across eastern Ukraine and Kiev with Hetman Bohdan Khmelnyts’kyi’s rebellion against Poland ( 1648–54 ) and the Treaty of Eternal Peace between Muscovy and Poland ( 1686), Orthodox clerics came to terms with their new position in a highly backward Orthodox state. Alexis Mikhailovich (r. 1645–76 ) saw them as people capable of improving Muscovite administration, and encouraged the emigration of learned Ukrainians. Iepifanii Slavynets’kyi was an early arrival, in 1649. Symeon Polots’kyi taught Alexis’s children Latin and Polish. The occa- sional Polish Jesuit was allowed to dispute with the Orthodox, as did Andrzej Kwieczynski before he was sent to break rocks in Siberia in 1660. Disputa- tion itself was an import from Poland, and at this time Polish and Latin were understood to be the languages of reason. Latin itself was learned from Polish translations, for example of Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’. Ukrainian clerics such as Stepan Iavors’kyi and Teofan Prokopovych were indeed engaged in some fundamental transformations: of themselves as they reoriented Ruthenian Orthodoxy to Moscow, and of Moscow as they reori- ented public life and political thought to the West. Such men introduced the baroque, not only in rhetoric, but in architecture, ceremonial and secu- lar public displays.

    RSC Advances View Article Online PAPER View Journal | View Issue De novo assembly of Schizothorax waltoni transcriptome to identify immune-related genes Cite this: RSC Adv.,2018,8, 13945 and microsatellite markers† Hua Ye,ab Zhengshi Zhang,ab Chaowei Zhou,ab Chengke Zhu,ab Yuejing Yang,ab Mengbin Xiang,ab Xinghua Zhou,ab Jian Zhou*c and Hui Luo *ab Schizothorax waltoni (S. waltoni) is one kind of the subfamily Schizothoracinae and an indigenous economic tetraploid fish to Tibet in China. It is rated as a vulnerable species in the Red List of China's Vertebrates, owing to overexploitation and biological invasion. S. waltoni plays an important role in ecology and local fishery economy, but little information is known about genetic diversity, local adaptation, immune system and so on. Functional gene identification and molecular marker development are the first and essential step for the following biological function and genetics studies. For this purpose, the transcriptome from pooled tissues of three adult S. waltoni was sequenced and Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. analyzed. Using paired-end reads from the Illumina Hiseq4000 platform, 83 103 transcripts with an N50 length of 2337 bp were assembled, which could be further clustered into 66 975 unigenes with an N50 length of 2087 bp. The majority of the unigenes (58 934, 87.99%) were successfully annotated by 7 public databases, and 15 KEGG pathways of immune-related genes were identified for the following functional research. Furthermore, 19 497 putative simple sequence repeats (SSRs) of 1–6 bp unit length were detected from 14 690 unigenes (21.93%) with an average distribution density of 1 : 3.28 kb.

  • Pdf Aleksander Czekanowski – Odkrywca Trapów Syberyjskich
    Przegl¹d Geologiczny, vol. 67, nr 10, 2019 Z MINIONYCH CZASÓW Aleksander Czekanowski – odkrywca trapów syberyjskich Grzegorz Racki1 Aleksander Czekanowski – discoverer of Siberian traps. Prz. Geol., 67: 791–798. A b s t r a c t. Flood basalts (traps) and large igneous provinces (LIPs) belong to the hot topics of modern geology, especially due to their causal links with major evolutionary crises and global catastrophes. However, the history of views on volcanic cataclysms, as well as the recognition stages of particular LIPs are still little known. Surpris- ingly, Polish contribution to this expanding topic may be larger than expected, as exemplified by the issue of field exploration of the largest continental LIP in Siberia. The first exhaustive data were provided in 1873 by Aleksander Czekanowski (1833–1876), a Polish geologist, educated at the universities of Kiev and Dorpat (Tartu),who was exiled by the Russian authorities to Siberia for participation in organizing the Polish January Uprising in 1863. He G. Racki led several large expeditions to distant parts of Siberia, also in the Ni¿nyja (Lower) Tunguska basin. In the summer of 1873, he discovered numerous exposures of basalt lava floods in the tableland along this river, starting from the area between Preobrazhenka and Jerbogachyan. The observations were announced by letters systematically pub- lished in “Izvestiya Imperatorskogo Russkogo Geograficheskogo Obshchestva”. As the most important result of the expedition, he quoted in 1876: “the discovery of previously unknown area of igneous rocks of so large extent that it exceeds the size of any other of its kind”. In his diaries, published posthumously in 1896, Czekanowski described the trap locations in detail, documented in many sketches and cross-sections.

Abstract Background: Paedocypris, a highly developmentally truncated fish from peat swamp forests in Southeast Asia, comprises the world's smallest vertebrate. Although clearly a cyprinid fish, a hypothesis about its phylogenetic position among the subfamilies of this largest teleost family, with over 2400 species, does not exist.

  • Waterbirds of Lake Baikal, Eastern Siberia, Russia
    FORKTAIL 25 (2009): 13–70 Waterbirds of Lake Baikal, eastern Siberia, Russia JIŘÍ MLÍKOVSKÝ Lake Baikal lies in eastern Siberia, Russia. Due to its huge size, its waterbird fauna is still insufficiently known in spite of a long history of relevant research and the efforts of local and visiting ornithologists and birdwatchers. Overall, 137 waterbird species have been recorded at Lake Baikal since 1800, with records of five further species considered not acceptable, and one species recorded only prior to 1800. Only 50 species currently breed at Lake Baikal, while another 11 species bred there in the past or were recorded as occasional breeders. Only three species of conservation importance (all Near Threatened) currently breed or regularly migrate at Lake Baikal: Asian Dowitcher Limnodromus semipalmatus, Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata. INTRODUCTION In the course of past centuries water levels in LB fluctuated considerably (Galaziy 1967, 1972), but the Lake Baikal (hereafter ‘LB’) is the largest lake in Siberia effects on the local avifauna have not been documented. and one of the largest in the world.

Received: 14 January 2020; Accepted: 3 March 2020; Published: 7 March 2020 Simple Summary: Diptychus maculates and Gymnodiptychus dybowskii are two rare aboriginal fishes in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. In recent years, due to overfishing and habitat fragmentation caused by construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects, the fishery resources have decreased sharply. Understanding the genetic background is of great significance for resource protection. In this study, we revealed the similar trends of population genetic diversities in these two species collected from the Tarim River and the Yili River. In addition, outlier SNPs associated with temperature and altitude were detected in both of them, indicating that Schizothoracinae fishes represented by D. maculates and G. dybowskii were still under the selection pressure of plateau environments.

  • Siberia, Land of Polish Martyrdom – (Re)Visions of the Myth. Literature, History, Geopoetics, Politics, Cultural Anthropology
    Юбилейна научна конференция с международно участие - 2016 SIBERIA, LAND OF POLISH MARTYRDOM – (RE)VISIONS OF THE MYTH. LITERATURE, HISTORY, GEOPOETICS, POLITICS, CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY Natalia Lemann, PhD (assistant professor) Chair of Theory of Literature, Institute of Contemporary Culture Faculty of Philology, University of Łódź, Poland [email protected]) Abstract: In Polish historical and cultural consciousness, Siberia is the land of Polish martyrdom. From deportations after downfall of November and January Uprisings (XIXth Century) toGUŁag`s hell, it has been the land of suffering and despair for Poles. The aim of the paper is analysing changes in depictions of Siberia in literature, journalism, historiography, memoirs, movies, and public discourse. By using terms derived from varied human sciences, such as philology, anthropology of cultures, cultural studies, including postcolonial studies and imagology, I try to answer why a martyrological, Romantic myth of Siberia is still vivid in Polish public discourse, whereas contemporary literature and reportage are trying to undermine it. The depiction and imagology of Siberia in Polish literature, movies, journalism, and public discourse could be understood as an example of “cultural wars” (L. Koczanowicz) and a postcolonial example of thinking about “Others”, especially Eastern, based on orientalism (E. Said) I will be analysing among others: literature- Anhelli, by J. Słowacki; Dwanaście lat w kraju Jakutów [Twelve years in the Jakut`s country] by W. Sieroszewski, Lód [An Ice] by J. Dukaj, Jakuck. Słownik miejsca [Jakuck. Lexicon of the Location] by M.
