Outline of fungi and fungus-like taxa

This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi. i.e. dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi. These are Aphelidiomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiobolomycota, Basidiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Calcarisporiellomycota, Caulochytriomycota, Chytridiomycota, Entomophthoromycota, Entorrhizomycota, Glomeromycota, Kickxellomycota, Monoblepharomycota, Mortierellomycota, Mucoromycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Olpidiomycota, Rozellomycota and Zoopagomycota. The placement of all fungal genera is provided at the class-, order- and family-level. The described number of species per genus is also given. Notes are provided of taxa for which recent changes or disagreements have been presented. Fungus-like taxa that were traditionally treated as fungi are also incorporated in this outline (i.e. Eumycetozoa, Dictyosteliomycetes, Ceratiomyxomycetes and Myxomycetes). Four new taxa are introduced: Amblyosporida ord. nov. Neopereziida ord. nov. and Ovavesiculida ord. nov. in Rozellomycota, and Protosporangiaceae fam. nov. in Dictyosteliomycetes. Two different classifications (in outline section and in discussion) are provided for Glomeromycota and Leotiomycetes based on recent studies. The phylogenetic reconstruction of a four-gene dataset (18S and 28S rRNA, RPB1, RPB2) of 433 taxa is presented, including all currently described orders of fungi.Fil: Wijayawardene, N. N..

The characteristics of population mortality of the Russian Federation, the Central Federal Okrug and City of Moscow in 2020

To preserve the country's population is among one of the most vital tasks over the period of existence of the new Russia and constitutes the subject of national security. The article presents the results of analysis of population mortality rate of the Russian Federation, the Central Federal Okrug and City of Moscow during the first eight months of 2020 towards to concurrent period of 2019. In January-March 2020, the population total mortality rate, retaining prevalent trends of number of preceding years, decreased in the Russian Federation by 3.8%, in the Central Federal Okrug by 3.0% and in City of Moscow by 3.9%. However, since April-May the situation has changed dramatically and, according to the results of January-August, mortality by this time has increased, and its growth made up to 6.5% in the Russian Federation, 7.8% in the Central Federal Okrug and 15.6% in the City of Moscow. In May 2020, the gain of absolute number of the deceased in the Russian Federation by months (towards to concurrent month of 2019) made up to 11.9%, in June to 18.6%, in July to 19.7% and in August to 9.6%. In Moscow, the peak values of this increase were noted in May - 57.2% and in June - 41.6% In the conditions of new coronavirus infection pandemic, the share of COVID-19, as main cause of death (ICD-10 codes U07.1 and U07.2), in the structure of total mortality in April-August consisted 3.2% and in the structure of excess deaths in May-August - 28.6%. The increase of mortality and continued decrease of birth rate resulted in increasing of natural population loss by 1.5 times and more and reached such values as -3.6 in the Russian Federation, -4.9 in the Central Federal Okrug and -1.6 in the City of Moscow (per 1000 of population). The process of depopulation of the Russian nation not only retained, but significantly has become significantly aggravated

Establishment and Development of Socio-Legal Work in the Children Primary Care in USSR

Formative experience of establishment and development of legal support for maternity and childhood in USSR is considered over time and systematized. The role of measures taken by the socio-legal cabinet, as well as social patronage as the method of dynamic preventive identification of families with children who are in difficult circumstances. The author's vision on the accumulated experience significance in solving modern problems of protecting the child health and rights is presented

Antihypertensive therapy: controlling the processes of replicative cell senescence

The review includes data over the past 20 years on the mechanisms of the influence of hypertension and related interdependent conditions, such as insulin resistance, chronic inflammation and oxidative stress on the vascular ageing. The review also discusses modern concepts of the interaction of biological and vascular aging, as well as possible ways of their reversal. The central indicators of biological aging in this review are telomere length and telomerase activity. The article discusses antihypertensive therapy as a possible way to slow down both vascular and biological aging, and describes the results of modern studies on the effect of various antihypertensives, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, sartans and others, on the telomeres

Nivicolous myxomycetes in alpine and lowland landscapes of european part of Russia

Nivicolous myxomycete assemblages were surveyed in the northwest of the Great Caucasian ridge (Teberda state reserve), in the southern Khibiny Mountains (Kola peninsula), near Vaskelovo settlement (Leningrad oblast) and in Valamo Island (Karelia). In result we registered 46 species and 9 intraspecific taxa from 9 genera and 4 families of 3 orders. We report 39 species as new for Russia. To confirm the assignment of specimens (found in the Teberda reserve) to morphospecies, we obtained independently from determination 145 partial sequences of the 18S SSU rRNA gene from 35 taxa of Lamproderma, Meriderma, Physarum and Diderma, which turned out to represent 58 genotypes. Most of the taxa represented by more than one sequence had several genotypes, with an average of 1.7 genotypes per taxon. Except for three taxonomically difficult groups of species, partial SSU sequences did well correspond with the respective morphospecies and where similar or identical to sequences of specimens from the European Alps, making this marker a good candidate for barcoding in myxomycetes. Alpha diversity and taxonomic structure of myxomycete assemblages change regularly along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients and on different substrates. These parameters increase from lowland to mountain landscapes and from boreal forest to alpine meadows in the Northwest Caucasus. In temperate climate of the Northwest Caucasus species richness and diversity increase along the altitudinal gradient from subalpine crooked communities to treeless alpine meadows. In contrary, in the Arctic we registered a reverse trend - species richness and diversity decrease from subalpine crooked forests to alpine communities of mountain tundra. The intensity of sporulation in nivicolous myxomycetes depends on a combination of climatic factors not only during the spring snowmelt, but also throughout the year. For the successful growth of the population of amoebae and formation of fruit bodies in spring a combination of the following parameters is necessary: formation of the snow cover before soil freezing and a long stay of propagules and amoebae under a thick layer of snow until spring. Along the latitudinal and altitudinal gradients we observed a change in the composition of substrate assemblages of nivicolous slime molds. However the degree of differentiation varies in different regions. It is most noticeable in the Arctic tundra. The greatest diversity of species is observed on the litter.Работа выполнена при финансовой поддержке РФФИ (проект 13–04–00839_а) с использованием микроскопического оборудования Центра коллективного пользования БИН РАН
