    Appendix, pp. 1–11 ДВ Орн. Журнал, 2014. №4. С.3—19 Far East. J. Orn. 4: 3—19 (2014) PUBLISHER’S TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH Shibaev Yu.V. (2014) Expansion of “Mongolian gull” Larus (Smithsonianus) mongolicus Sushkin, 1925 to the eastern periphery of the Asian Continent // Far East. J.Orn. 4: 3—19. SUMMARY This paper describes the process of colonization of a small island (Furugelm Island) in Peter the Great Bay (Russian side of the Sea of Japan) by a gull species from the Larus argentatus superspecies complex, starting from a single nesting pair in 2004 to a stable population of 72 pairs in 2012. The taxonomic status of the colonist species remains debatable and is not the purpose of this paper. Rather, this is an analysis of the dynamics of regional colonization, characteristics of seasonal migration, and species biology that allow for the conclusion that these observations amount to a sequential colonization by Larus (smithsonianus) mongolicus of the eastern periphery of the Asian continent. The settlers colonized two habitat types from Lake Khanka to the lower reaches of the Amur River: large, freshwater lakes, and coastal islands. The birds that settled on Furugelm Island started as a group of seven differently-aged birds: two mature birds (that bred) and five younger birds of varying maturity. Successful colonization by this species was based on a series of factors, including the protected status of Furugelm Island where the birds fortuitously chose to nest, an abundance of available habitat and food resources, and a relatively low abundance of Slaty-backed gulls, which occupy the same niche.

  • Analysis of Synonymous Codon Usage Patterns in Sixty-Four Different Bivalve Species
    Analysis of synonymous codon usage patterns in sixty-four diVerent bivalve species Marco Gerdol1, Gianluca De Moro1, Paola Venier2 and Alberto Pallavicini1 1 Department of Life Sciences, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy 2 Department of Biology, University of Padova, Padova, Italy ABSTRACT Synonymous codon usage bias (CUB) is a defined as the non-random usage of codons encoding the same amino acid across diVerent genomes. This phenomenon is common to all organisms and the real weight of the many factors involved in its shaping still remains to be fully determined. So far, relatively little attention has been put in the analysis of CUB in bivalve mollusks due to the limited genomic data available. Taking advantage of the massive sequence data generated from next generation sequencing projects, we explored codon preferences in 64 diVerent species pertaining to the six major evolutionary lineages in Bivalvia. We detected remarkable diVerences across species, which are only partially dependent on phylogeny. While the intensity of CUB is mild in most organisms, a heterogeneous group of species (including Arcida and Mytilida, among the others) display higher bias and a strong preference for AT-ending codons. We show that the relative strength and direction of mutational bias, selection for translational eYciency and for translational accuracy contribute to the establishment of synonymous codon usage in bivalves. Although many aspects underlying bivalve CUB still remain obscure, we provide for the first time an overview of this phenomenon

Its conspicuous pink color implies the presence of carotenoprotein. However, the carotenoprotein from the scallop ovary has never been isolated and characterized, probably due to its instability and complexity. Here, we developed an extraction and isolation procedure for the carotenoprotein by employing a basic buffer containing potassium bromide to facilitate its efficient extraction from the ovary, and we succeeded in obtaining the carotenoprotein, termed pectenovarin. The carotenoid composition of the pectenovarin was similar to that of the ovary. The N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences of pectenovarin showed a high similarity to those of vitellogenin, the precursor of egg yolk protein under analysis. Keywords: carotenoproteins; carotenoids; scallop ovary; Japanese scallop 1. Introduction Carotenoids are one of the essential classes of metabolites in a wide variety of living organisms. More than 750 different carotenoids have been reported to date [1]. It is known that carotenoids bind to proteins, termed carotenoproteins, to stabilize themselves against light or heat or to manipulate their physical properties, including solubility and color.

It is established that the Ussuri and Lipovtsy forma tions in the reference section of the Markovskii Peninsula rest with unconformity upon Upper Triassic strata. The continuous Cretaceous succession is revealed in the Peschanka River area of the northern Muravyov Amurskii Peninsula, where plant remains were first sampled from the lower and upper parts of the Korkino Group, which are determined to be the late Albian–late Cenmanian in age. The taxonomic composition of floral assemblages from the Ussuri, Lipovtsy, and Galenki formations is widened owing to additional finds of plant remains. The Korkino Group received floral characteristics for the first time. The Cretaceous flora of the peninsula is represented by 126 taxa. It is established that ferns and conifers are dominant elements of the Ussuri floral assemblage, while the Lipovtsy Assemblage is dominated by ferns, conifers, and cycadphytes. In addition, the latter assemblage is characterized by the highest taxonomic diversity. The Galenki Assemblage is marked by the first appearance of rare flowering plants against the background of dominant ferns and coni fers.

  • New Challenges Facing Asian Agriculture Under Globalisation
    New Challenges Facing --------1-------- Asian Agriculture under Globalisation Volume II Edited by Jamalludin Sulaiman Fatimah Mohamed Arshad Mad Nasir Shamsudin 34 Farm Household Debt Problems in Jeonnom Province, Korea: ACose Study J.K. Park, P.S. Park and K.H. Song Introduction Farm loans have increased quite rapidly in the recent decades and the farm household debt 1 matter has become a serious socio-economic issue in Korea. In an effort to get around this critical issue, the government would prepare and implement impromptu new debt measures. Yet, the farm-debt ratio over farm income has been increasing very rapidly since the beginning of the WTO in 1995 and the IMF financial crisis of 1997, leading to 88 per cent as that of 2000, mainly due to low agricultural income. During the period of 1994 (the year right before the beginning of the WTO)-2000, farm household income had increased by 13.6 per cent but debt had increased by as much as 156.3 per cent (MAF, 2001 ). That is, farm household debt has been increasing very rapidly since 1995. Yet, the ratio of non-farm income accounted for around 32 per cent of farm income in recent years, which made it more difficult for farmers to repay their loans. This problem is getting even more complicated because of joint surety among the farmers, which would lead to total bankruptcy of farms including financially sound farms. Recently, more than 7 5 per cent of farm loans were utilised for the purpose of agricultural production. In order to cope with labour shortage problems due to the rural-urban migration of labour force, farmers began to purchase more agricultural machinery, which eventually led to the galloping farm household debts.

  • The European Fortifications on the Coast of the Pacific Ocean
    Scientific Journal of Latvia University of Agriculture Landscape Architecture and Art, Volume 10, Number 10 The European fortifications on the coast of the Pacific Ocean Nikolay Kasyanov, Research Institute of Theory and History of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences, Moscow, Russia Abstract. In the Russian Empire during XIX and early XX centuries, fortresses were built and strengthened along the frontiers. We studied the architecture of the Far Eastern Russian cities-fortresses using as examples Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, Port Arthur (now Luishun) and mainly Vladivostok. Coastal fortresses significantly influenced the urban development of the Far Eastern cities. The architectural peculiarity of the fortress architecture at that period was associated with the transition from the brick and stone fortifications to the complex systems of monolithic reinforced concrete. In 1860, a military post with the expressive and geopolitically ambitious name "Vladivostok" ("Possess the East") was established. By the beginning of the XX century, Vladivostok became a rapidly growing city of the European culture and one of the most powerful marine fortresses in the world. The Vladivostok Fortress was an innovative project in early XX century and has distinctive features of the modern style (Art Nouveau), partly of the Russian and classical style in architecture, as well as an organic unity with the surrounding landscape. Plastic architectural masses with their non-linear shape are typical of the fortifications of Vladivostok. Vast and branching internal communication spaces link fort buildings, scattered on the surface and remote from each other. Huge, monumental forts located on the tops of mountains and fitted perfectly in the landscape are successful examples of landscape architecture.
