Phylogenomic and mitogenomic data can accelerate inventorying of tropical beetles during the current biodiversity crisis by Michal Motyka, Dominik Kusy, Matej Bocek, Renata Bilkova, Ladislav Bocak

“…The outcome would be a scaffold for the incorporation of further data from environmental sequencing and ecological studies. The database of sequences could set a benchmark for the spatiotemporal evaluation of biodiversity, would support evidence-based conservation planning, and would provide a robust framework for systematic, biogeographic, and evolutionary studies.…”

Simulation Analysis of Salt Diffusion at Wanquan River Estuary under Changing Environment by HAILAI Yibo, SHI Haoran, LIU Xiaoqing, LIU Jiao, FANG Mingyi, ZHANG Lanyue

“…The diffusion of offshore salt in inland rivers along with tidal waves has an important effect on the aquatic ecological environment of the estuary area.This paper,taking the Wanquan River Estuary as an example,used the Mike21 model to simulate the salinity distribution along the channel under different runoff and tidal levels and analyzed the change rules and leading factors.The results show that the river system and riverbed topography at the Wanquan River Estuary reduce the upward diffusion of salt propelled by the tide and that the salt is mainly distributed in the waters near the estuary.The salinity distribution along the upper reaches of the river decreases rapidly,and it basically remains unchanged when the tidal level increases by 0.1 m and 0.3 m,respectively.A sudden increase in salinity occurs where a curved or narrow channel changes the local water flow and salt accumulates.The upward diffusion range of salt is mainly affected by runoff. …”

Response Characteristics of Steppe Inland River Basins under Climate Change and Its Impact on Runoff from 1982—2020 by CHEN Hongguang, MENG Fanhao, SA Chula, LUO Min, WANG Mulan

“…Based on hydro-meteorological data and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from 1982 to 2020,this paper studies the Wulagai River basin in Inner Mongolia and analyzes the vegetation response characteristics of the basin under climate change and its impact on runoff by adopting a hydrological model of soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) and statistical analysis method.The results show that the SWAT model has good applicability in the basin.The Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (NSE) and coefficient of determination (R²) are larger than 0.62 in both regular and validation periods,and the relative error (PBLAS) is less than 18.8%.In the last 40 years,precipitation in the basin decreased slowly at a rate of 8.9 mm/10a,while temperature and actual evapotranspiration increased at a rate of 0.43°C/10a and 2.8 mm/10a,respectively,which indicates that the basin is becoming warm and dry.As the basin climate gets warm and dry,the vegetation recovers and grows vigorously.As a result,climate change and vegetation recovery lead to a reduced runoff depth of the basin.The study results can provide a reference for ecological conservation and sustainable utilization of water resources of inland river basins in arid and semi-arid regions.…”

200 years of Darwin wasp research (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) in Southern Lower Saxony (Germany) with an annotated checklist by Mike Kuschereitz

“…The majority of data was collected by renowned Ichneumonid experts like Carl Gravenhorst, Erich Bauer and Rolf Hinz, but also by other scientists conducting surveys on ecological topics. Based on the compiled data, six Darwin wasp species could be added to the German Darwin wasp list, namely: Camposcopus ruficoxis (Schnee and Shaw, in prep.), Coleocentrus soleatus (Gravenhorst, 1829), Netelia contiguator Delrio, 1975, Netelia silvahercynia Theunert, 2021, Proclitus heterocerus (Thomson, 1888) and Tycherus acutus (Gravenhorst, 1829). …”
