НОВЫЙ РЕАГЕНТ ДЛЯ МЕЧЕНИЯ БЕЛКОВ ИОНАМИ РЕДКОЗЕМЕЛЬНЫХ МЕТАЛЛОВ

Activated ester of a carboxylic derivative of europium diethylenetriaminetetraacetate has been synthesized by the interaction of europium salt of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid aminoethylamide with di-N-succinimidyl-p-phthalate. This reagent was applied to introduce rare earth metal ions in animal immunoglobulins (monoclonal antibodies). The proteins labelled with Eu3+ provide the required characteristics of fluorescence intensity, background, sensitivity and selectivity in diagnostic systems of lanthanide immunofluorometric assay.Взаимодействием европиевой соли 2-аминоэтиламида диэтилентриаминпентауксусной кислоты с ди-N-сукцинимидным эфиром n-фталевой кислоты получен активированный эфир карбоксипроизводного диэтилентриаминтетраацетата европия. Этот реагент использован для введения ионов редкоземельного металла в структуру молекул моноклональных антител. Белки, меченные Eu3 +, обеспечивали необходимые характеристики интенсивности флуоресценции, фона, чувствительности и специфичности в медицинских диагностических наборах лантанидного иммунофлуориметрического анализа

Integrative Analysis of Harpacticoid Copepod Fauna (Harpacticoida, Copepoda) in the South of Krasnoyarsk Krai: in Several Ergaki Nature Park Waterbodies and the Yenisei River

Фауна Harpacticoida Сибири изучена недостаточно. Впервые исследован состав фауны этих ракообразных нескольких водоемов на территории природного парка «Ергаки» и реки Енисей в черте города Красноярска, представлены данные по морфологии найденных видов и подвидов и их генетическим баркодам – нуклеотидным последовательностям фрагмента мтДНК СОI. В результате исследований в июле 2021 г. в природном парке «Ергаки» обнаружено шесть видов и подвидов ракообразных родов Pesceus, Bryocamptus, Maraenobiotus, Attheyella и Moraria; в Енисее найдены Maraenobiotus и Moraria, а также Harpacticella inopinata. Все таксоны обнаружены в пределах своих известных ареалов. Для пяти из них получены генетические баркоды, всего 25 последовательностей. Филогенетический анализ подтвердил генетическую близость H. inopinata и Attheyella nordenskioldii юга Красноярского края и озера Байкал (генетические дистанции 0,014–0,036), а также молекулярно-генетическую, но не морфологическую, однородность Maraenobiotus insignipes insignipes нескольких водоемов региона исследований (попарные генетические дистанции не превышали 0,008). Этот вид был наиболее распространенным на юге Красноярского края. Субэндемик озера Байкал H. inopinata был зарегистрирован только в Енисее. Полученные данные расширяют представления о фаунистическом, морфологическом и генетическом разнообразии Harpacticoida внутренних вод СибириThe crustacean fauna of Siberia, in particular the Harpacticoida, has not been studied sufficiently. For the first time, the composition of harpacticoid copepod fauna in several waterbodies in the Ergaki Nature Park and the Yenisei River near the city of Krasnoyarsk is examined, and the data on the morphology and genetic barcodes (nucleotide sequences of the mtDNA fragment COI) of the species and subspecies found are presented. In July 2021, six species and subspecies of harpacticoids of the Pesceus, Bryocamptus, Maraenobiotus, Attheyella and Moraria genera were found in the Ergaki Nature Park; Maraenobiotus, Moraria and Harpacticella inopinata were found in the Yenisei River. All taxa were found within the known distribution ranges. For five of them, genetic barcodes were obtained, a total of 25 sequences. A phylogenetic analysis confirmed the genetic closeness of H. inopinata and Attheyella nordenskioldii in the south of Krasnoyarsk Krai and Lake Baikal (genetic distances were 0.014–0.036), as well as molecular-genetic, but not morphological, homogeneity of Maraenobiotus insignipes insignipes from several waterbodies in the study site (pairwise genetic distances did not exceed 0.008). The latter species has been found the most common in the south of Krasnoyarsk Krai. H. inopinata, a subendemic of Lake Baikal, has been registered in the Yenisei River only. The data obtained broaden understanding of taxonomic, morphological and genetic diversity of the Harpacticoida fauna in Siberia’s inland water

Data on taxa composition of freshwater zooplankton and meiobenthos across Arctic regions of Russia

We present the presence/absence species list (Table 1) of rotifer, cladoceran, and copepod (Calanoida, Harpacticoida, and Cyclopoida) fauna from seven Arctic regions of Russia (the Kola Peninsula, the Pechora River Delta, the Bolshezemelskaya tundra, the Polar Ural, the Putorana Plateau, the Lena River Delta, and the Indigirka River Basin) based on our own and literature data. Our own records were obtained by analyzing samples of zooplankton, meiobenthos, and two cores of bottom sediments (from the Kola Peninsula and the Bolshezemelskaya tundra lakes) that we collected once in July or August in 1992, 1995–2017. To supplement the list, we used relevant literature with periods of research from the 1960s to the 2010s. The list is almost identical to “Dataset 2: Zooplankton and Meiofauna across Arctic Regions of Russia”, which was analyzed but not published in [1]. The detailed analysis of this list revealed the specific composition of the aquatic fauna associated with the climatic and geographical factors [1]. The data provide information on the current state of biodiversity and species richness in Arctic fresh waters and can serve as the basis for monitoring these environments and predicting how they are likely to change in the future

Secondary production of highly unsaturated fatty acids by zoobenthos across rivers contrasting in temperature

Highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), namely eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, DHA), which are essential for many animals, including humans, are mainly produced in aquatic trophic webs. In fast-flowing rivers, macrozoobenthos is the main source of HUFA for fish and may be particularly vulnerable to thermal alterations associated with climate change. We studied benthic communities in a unique natural ecosystem: the Yenisei River downstream of the dam of Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station with very low temperature in summer because of discharge of cold water from deep in the reservoir and its tributaries with high summer temperature. This ‘natural experiment’ allowed to get rid of confounding factors, such as differences in light, seasonality, geology (biogeochemistry) and biogeography (regional species pools). As found, in spite of an increase of biodiversity and rates of daily production in warm rivers compared with cold sites, DHA and partly EPA production of zoobenthos decreased with the increase of temperature because of changes in species composition. Thus, in a climate warming context, we can predict a decrease of production of these HUFA by river zoobenthos and thereby a diminishing of their supply for fish and next to humans

Biogeographic patterns of planktonic and meiobenthic fauna diversity in inland waters of the Russian Arctic

© 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Broad-scale assessment of biodiversity is needed for detection of future changes across substantial regions of the Arctic. Presently, there are large data and information gaps in species composition and richness of the freshwater planktonic and meiobenthos communities of the Russian Arctic. Analysis of these data is very important for identifying the spatial distribution and temporal changes in species richness and diversity of rotifers, cladocerans, and copepods in the continental Russian Arctic. We investigated biogeographic patterns of freshwater plankton and meiobenthos from c. 67° to 73°N by analysing data over the period 1960–2017. These data include information on the composition of rotifers, cladocerans, and copepods obtained from planktonic and meiobenthic samples, as well as from subfossil remains in bottom sediments of seven regions from the Kola Peninsula in the west, to the Indigirka River Basin (east Siberia) in the east. Total richness included 175 species comprised of 49 rotifer genera, 81 species from 40 cladoceran genera, and 101 species from 42 genera of calanoid, cyclopoid, and harpacticoid copepods. Longitudinal trends in rotifer and micro-crustacean diversity were revealed by change in species composition from Europe to eastern Siberia. The most common and widespread species were 19 ubiquitous taxa that included Kellicottia longispina (Rotifera), Chydorus sphaericus s. lat. (Cladocera), Heterocope borealis, Acanthocyclops vernalis, and Moraria duthiei (Copepoda). The highest number of rare species was recorded in the well-studied region of the Bolshezemelskaya tundra and in the Putorana Plateau. The total number of copepod and rotifer species in both Arctic lakes and ponds tended to increase with latitude. Relative species richness of copepods was positively associated with waterbody area, elevation, and precipitation, while relative species richness of cladocerans was positively related to temperature. This result is consistent with known thermophilic characteristics of cladocerans and the cold tolerance properties of copepods, with the former being dominant in shallow, warmer waterbodies of some western regions, and the latter being dominant in large cold lakes and waterbodies of eastern regions. Rotifers showed a negative association with these factors. Alpha- and β-diversity of zooplankton in the Russian Arctic were strongly related to waterbody type. Lake zooplankton communities were more diverse than those in pond and pool systems. Moreover, the highest β-diversity values were observed in regions that showed a greater breadth in latitude and highly heterogeneous environmental conditions and waterbody types (Bolshezemelskaya tundra and Putorana Plateau). Redistribution of freshwater micro-fauna caused by human activities occurred in the 1990s and 2000s. As a result of climate warming, a few cladoceran species appear to have extended their range northward. Nevertheless, the rotifer and micro-crustacean fauna composition and diversity of the majority of Arctic regions generally remain temporally conservative, and spatial differences in composition and species richness are chiefly associated with the differences between the warmer European and colder east Siberian climates

Numerical modeling of vertical distribution of living and dead copepods Arctodiaptomus salinus in salt Lake Shira

Текст статьи не публикуется в открытом доступе в соответствии с политикой журнала.В глубоком стратифицированном водоеме процессы роста и смертности популяции зоопланктона выражаются во взаимозависимом неоднородном вертикальном распределении живых и мертвых особей в столбе воды. Мертвые особи элиминируются из толщи воды путем оседания, деградации за счет микробного разложения, детритофагии и т. д. В случае эпилимниального максимума численности зоопланктона и при условии преобладания процессов деградации над оседанием, поток отмирающих особей имеет выраженное экспоненциальное убывание с глубиной. Профиль численности мертвых рачков, включая их убывание в мета- и гиполимнионе, может описываться с помощью разработанной численной модели. Аппроксимация полевых данных позволяет определить значения естественной смертности m (не связанной с хищником) и скорости деградации D отмерших рачков в виде относительных величин ( m / v и D / v , v - скорость оседания), либо абсолютных (при известной v ). На примере популяции копепод Arctodiaptomus salinus Daday в оз. Шира рассчитанные m и D (медианы 0,13 и 0,26 сут-1 соответственно) хорошо согласуются со значениями, известными из литературы. Преимуществом предложенного метода также является возможность учитывать разную скорость оседания v по глубине
