... distribution of B. frigga is better acquainted for the Murmansk Oblast ( Kozlov and Jalava 1994;Kozlov and Kullberg 2008), the Karelia Republic (Gorbach 2014), the Komi Republic, and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Bolotov 2011; Vlasova et al. 2014;Tatarinov 2016;Kozlov et al. 2019). Only two records of B. frigga are known on the Arctic islands of Northern European Russia, i.e. the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago and Dolgiy Island (review: Kullberg et al. 2019) ( Table 1, Fig. 1). ...Similar publications
Rusavskia dasanensis (Teloschistaceae), which was previously found in Norway, the Svalbard Islands, Ny-Ålesund, Haloya Island, the Korean Arctic station and Europe, is being reported as a new record from Darel Valley, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. A description of the species is provided together with details on its range, habitat and phylogeny.
Lichens are multi-component microbial communities where yeasts are common. This work was designed to address the taxonomic diversity and distribution of cultivated endothallic yeasts in terricolous lichens of the genus Cladonia. Lichens Cladonia stellaris, C. rangiferina, C. cornuta, and C. pleurota from arctic, subarctic, and continental boreal cl...
The article considers modern technological directions for the electrification of hydrocarbon production facilities in the poorly developed or hard-to-reach territories of the Arctic, the Far North or offshore fields, due to the remoteness of the Arctic and Far Eastern regions from existing large energy hubs, which makes it practically impossible to...
The way an international actor acts in one context impacts its ability to play a role in other contexts. Expanding on role theoretical insights, I develop a concept of role spillover to account for the ways in which roles interact across contexts. Acting in accordance with expectations in one context might not benefit an actor in another context; i...

... A review of published literature indicates that the insect fauna of the island may have originated in the Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene (Bolotov 2011). The species diversity of insects on Kolguev Island is rather poorly known, and most available works deal with Lepidoptera and Coleoptera (Buturlin 1903;Semenov 1904;Bolotov 2011;Kullberg et al. 2019;Spitsyn and Bolotov 2020;Potapov et al. 2021b). However, a few publications report on the fauna and species richness of bumble bees collected on Kolguev Island (Berezin 1995a;Potapov 2010, 2011;Potapov et al. 2014;Paukkunen and Kozlov 2020). ...
... We have no reliable records of B. hyperboreus from Kolguev Island because earlier references to the existence of this species on the island (Kolosova and Potapov 2010Potapov , 2011Rasmont et al. 2021) were incorrect. However, future records of B. hyperboreus on Kolguev Island can be expected, mainly in the central and northern part of this island, where the species richness of insects (e.g., Lepidoptera: Bolotov 2011) is higher due to the prevalence of hilly landscapes with richer plant diversity (Potapov et al. 2021b). ...
The bumble bee fauna of the Russian Arctic is rather poorly known. Kolguev Island, a remote insular territory in the Barents Sea, is one of the deficiently studied areas. In this study, material on Kolguev's bumble bees is reexamined , phylogeographic data analysed, putative scenarios explaining the origin of the bumble bee fauna on the island discussed, and the biology and phenology of these insular populations described. Five bumble bee species, i.e., Bombus flavidus, B. lapponicus, B. jonellus, B. pyrrhopygus, and B. balteatus, were recorded on this island. All of these species are widespread throughout the Eurasian Arctic. Bumble bee populations on Kolguev Island are characterised by a low level of molecular divergence from mainland populations. Based on paleogeographic reconstructions and phylogeographic patterns, it is hypothesised that the bumble bees appeared on this island in the Early Holocene. The lack of rodents (lemmings and voles) sharply decreases the number of available nesting places for bumble bees on Kolguev Island.
