Concentrations of the chemical elements were analyzed in the shells of a bivalve mollusk species (Beringiana beringiana), water, and bottom sediments from seven lakes located on the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Kurile Islands, Sakhalin Island, and Primorsky Krai (Northeast Asia). A principal component analysis allowed to determine three factors those were related to environments in the waterbodies. We revealed two groups of samples corresponding to large geographical regions using the determined factors. Statistically significant differences were found between geographical groups of samples, and higher values of element distribution coefficients were determined for samples from lakes on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The highest concentrations of lithophilic elements were measured in the shells from Lake Kurazhechnoye (Kamchatka Peninsula). The highest concentrations of Al and Mg were detected in shells from Lake Peschanoye (Kunashir Island). In Lake Chernoye (Sakhalin Island), the highest concentrations of Sr and Sb in the shells were detected. Zn, Fe, Pb, and rare earth elements were present in large concentrations in the shells from Lake Vaskovskoye, Primorsky Krai. The shells of the Beringian freshwater mussel show large phenotypic plasticity, and their shape demonstrates significant relationships with various environmental parameters, that were assessed based on the geochemical indicators.

Many studies related to the influence of eddies on the primary production chain of marine ecosystems have been conducted; however, this effect tends to be regionally specific, especially in coastal dynamic waters. In the Baltic Sea, mesoscale and submesoscale eddies are a ubiquitous feature of water circulation during summer, when diazotrophic cyanobacteria blooms occur in surface waters due to the excess of phosphorus in seawater. Climatic change may increase the frequency and duration of these negative events in the marine ecosystem. We examined the taxonomic composition, abundance, and primary production of phytoplankton in the southeastern Baltic Sea during the occurrence of the packed eddy system at the end of the abnormally warm summer of 2018. Massive cyanobacteria growth was observed in the plume of the eutrophic Vistula Lagoon in the Gulf of Gdansk. The only species diazotrophic Dolichospermum flos-aquae ((Bornet & Flahault) P. Wacklin, L. Hoffmann & Komárek, 2009) vegetated along the western coast of the Sambia Peninsula. Its colonies reached the highest biomass nearby the dumping site of the Amber Mining Plant in Yantarny, Kaliningrad Region, Russia. The cyanobacteria colonies dispersed in the outgoing jet of a relatively warm eddy dipole. Chrysochromulina spp. (Lackey, 1939) was dominant in these nitrogen-rich waters. In contrast, cryptophyte species dominated in the relatively cold waters of the dipole anticyclone that resulted in a fourfold decline in primary production. The decrease in the number of mobile phytoplankton species was revealed within the “old” eddies near the northern coast of the Sambia Peninsula and the Curonian Spit. Meanwhile, species of the spring–autumn complex Coscinodiscus granii (Gough, 1905), Peridiniella catenate ((Levander) Balech, 1977) and other developed in the community. This implies that the appearance of eddies can cause phytoplankton succession in the coastal area. The mechanism of their influence was similar to the action of other physical factors perturbing a relatively stationary environment. Capture of cyanobacterial colonies by eddies led to an improvement of the ecological situation in the area, as cyanobacteria transported their biomass outside the coastal area. However, the opposite direction processes obviously were the deterioration of light conditions, increased water turbidity, and organic matter concentration.

The distributions of tintinnid ciliate species were analyzed in the Mediterranean, Black and Azov seas, and the Arctic, Indian, Atlantic, Pacific and Southern oceans. Data on the distribution of 916 tintinnid species were processed. It was found that distribution of tintinnids corresponds both to Ubiquity model (EiE) and Moderate endemicity model (MEM), depending on the used spatial scale. As a result, a Scale-Dependent Model (SDM) of marine tintinnid ciliate distribution was proposed.

Rock dumps formed as a result of coal mining are unique model for studying the rove beetle communities. In total 60 species, 38 genera, 7 subfamilies of rove beetles were registered using soil traps. The greatest diversity of rove beetles was noted in forb-grass meadows (H` = 2.89) and pine plantations (H` = 2.39). The diversity of rove beetles was low (H` = 1.11) in birch and aspen-fir forests despite the greater number of revealed species. Only two eurytopic and mesophilic species (Drusilla canaliculata and Xantholinus linearis) were dominant in the rock dumps. Most of the rove beetles were eurytopic or forest species, zoophagous or mixophagous, mesophilous or hygrophilous. The number of eurytopic species and obligate predators increased, and the dynamic density of beetles decreased from older to younger dumps. The number of rove beetles depended on the soil temperature and humidity and the vegetation cover. Rove beetle communities are good indicators for monitoring the restoration of areas that have been technically degraded.

According to the first Croatian check-list (Čerba et al. 2020), a total of 239 Chironomidae species has so far been recorded from the country. In the present paper we report the finding of two new taxa from the mountain stream Šumetlica, eastern Croatia, namely Boreoheptagyia legeri (Goetghebuer, 1933) and Diamesa cf. insignipes Kieffer, 1908. Šumetlica in the Psunj Mountain is about a 27 km long stream that rises near the highest mountain peak in this area, Brezovo Polje. Macroinvertebrate samples were collected at 415 m a.s.l. in June 2020 and May 2021 according to the AQEM standard multi-habitat protocol. Physico-chemical water parameters were measured in situ. Isolation and identification of macroinvertebrates were carried out in the laboratory. A total of 79 macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded, of which 26 were Chironomidae. The most abundant Chironomidae taxa were, Tvetenia calvescens, Conchapelopia agg. and Brillia bifida in the first sampling period, and Polypedilum convictum in the second. The species Boreoheptagyia legeri was collected with the abundance of 24 individuals per m2 in 2020, while 30 individuals per m2 Diamesa cf. insignipes larvae was recorded in 2021. Representatives of Diamesinae subfamily are usually found in cool, oxygen rich mountain or glacial streams. Diamesa larvae inhabit springs and streams in the mountain region, mainly on stones and gravel, especially those covered with moss cushions, while species of the genus Boreoheptagyia prefer a constant trickle of water. Both inhabit higher elevation mountainous regions, but occasionally Diamesa species are found in the foothills. Boreoheptagyia legeri is the only species of the genus that has been recorded outside the highest mountainous regions, in temperate elevations, under 500 m a.s.l. Our findings contribute to the knowledge of ecology and distribution of Diamesinae representatives.
