SLOW DEFORMATION WAVES IN THE SEISMIC REGIME AND GEOPHYSICAL FIELDS AT THE NORTHERN MARGIN OF THE AMUR PLATE by S. V. Trofimenko, V. G. Bykov, N. N. Grib

“…In the Amur plate, the dynamics of intercontinental seismicity is controlled by deformation wave fronts comprising a regular pattern of equidistant zones [Sherman, 2013]. According to [Trofimenko et al., 2015a, 2015b, 2016], maximum values of seismic activity in the range of magnitudes 2≤M≤4 also form a sequence of spatial cells in the form of seismic clusters from the east (Sakhalin – Sakh) to the west (the western boundary of the Baikal rift zone – BRZ ) (Fig. 1). …”

SPECIALIZED MAPPING OF CRUSTAL FAULT ZONES. PART 1: BASIC THEORETICAL CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES by K. Zh. Seminsky

“…Taking into account that strike-slip, reverse and normal faults are similar in terms of mechanics (i.e. they are formed due to shearing), standard patterns of fractures systems for their impact zones are members of the above described paragenesis of faults and fractures, which is spatially oriented in such a way that its position and displacements along Y-shears are correspondent to the right- or left-lateral strike-slip faults and also to normal and reverse faults with different dip angles. …”

Does Short-Distance Migration Facilitate the Recovery of Black-Necked Crane Populations? by Le Yang, Lei Xu, Waner Liang, Jia Guo, Yongbing Yang, Cai Lyu, Shengling Zhou, Qing Zeng, Yifei Jia, Guangchun Lei

“…Juveniles used smaller, more fragmented habitats than subadults, and their spatial range expanded over time. Given these patterns, we infer that the short-distance migration strategy may reduce energetic demands and mortality risks while increasing route flexibility—characteristics that may benefit population growth. …”
