Microarcsecond instability of the celestial reference frame

The fluctuation of the angular positions of reference extragalactic radio and optical sources under the influence of the irregular gravitational field of visible Galactic stars is considered. It is shown that these angular fluctuations range from a few up to hundreds of microarcseconds. This leads to a small rotation of the celestial reference frame. The nondiagonal coefficients of the rotation matrix are of the order of a microarcsecond. The temporal variation of these coefficients due to the proper motion of the foreground stars is of the order of one microsecond per 20 years. Therefore, the celestial reference frame can be considered inertial and homogeneous only to microarcsecond accuracy. Astrometric catalogues with microarcsecond accuracy will be unstable, and must be reestablished every 20 years.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, accepted to MNRA

FIRST RECORD OF PSEUDOHADENA ARGYLLOSTIGMA (VARGA & RONKAY, 1991) FOR KAZAKHSTAN, WITH A CATALOGUE OF THE GENUS PSEUDOHADENA ALPHÉRAKY, 1889 OF KAZAKHSTAN (LEPIDOPTERA, NOCTUIDAE)

A poorly-known noctuid species Pseudohadena argyllostigma (Varga & Ronkay, 1991) is recorded from North-East Kazakhstan. This is one of the few records of the species since its description, and the first from Kazakhstan. The adults, male and female genitalia and habitat of the species are illustrated, the check-list of species of the genus Pseudohadena Alphéraky, 1889 of Kazakhstan is presented

Description of female of Thargelia leucostigma Varga & L. Ronkay, 1991 with new data on distribution of the species (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

The paper contains description of a female of the poorly known Noctuidae species Thargelia leucostigma Varga & L. Ronkay, 1991 described from South Mongolia. The species is reported for Kazakhstan (Zaisan Depression) for the first time. Populations from SW Mongolia and East Kazakhstan were compared by COI sequences, and have no molecular differences. COI sequence of the species is presented. The map of known localities of the species is presented, adults, male and female genitalia, habitat and adults in nature are illustrated

First record of Pseudohadena argyllostigma (Varga & Ronkay, 1991) for Kazakhstan, with a catalogue of the genus Pseudohadena alphéraky, 1889 of Kazakhstan (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

A poorly-known noctuid species Pseudohadena argyllostigma (Varga & Ronkay, 1991) is recorded from North-East Kazakhstan. This is one of the few records of the species since its description, and the first from Kazakhstan. The adults, male and female genitalia and habitat of the species are illustrated, the check-list of species of the genus Pseudohadena Alphéraky, 1889 of Kazakhstan is presented

New data on eastern limits of ranges of Egira anatolica (M. Hering, 1933) and Egira conspicillaris (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

The paper contains new data on the easternmost limits of distribution of the noctuid species Egira anatolica (M. Hering, 1933) and Egira conspicillaris (Linnaeus, 1758). E. anatolica was found in eastern and northeastern Kazakhstan for the first time. Known eastern borders of the range of another Egira species, E. conspicillaris (Linnaeus, 1758) are corrected, in addition, the species is reported for Transcaucasia (Georgia) for the first time. The map of collecting localities of E. anatolica is presented, adults and male and female genitalia are illustrated

Check list of noctuid moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae and Erebidae excluding Lymantriinae and Arctiinae) from the Saur mountains (East Kazakhstan and North-East China)

The paper contains data on the fauna of the Lepidoptera families Erebidae (excluding subfamilies Lymantriinae and Arctiinae) and Noctuidae of the Saur Mountains (East Kazakhstan). The check list includes 217 species. The map of collecting localities is presented

First record of Nola crambiformis Rebel, 1902 (Insecta: Lepidoptera, Nolidae) from the Russian Altai

A little-known species of Lepidoptera, Nola crambiformis Rebel, 1902, is recorded in the Russian Altai for the first time. This is an easternmost known locality of the species. Adults, male and female genitalia and the habitat of the species are illustrated

Lithophane furcifera (Hufnagel, 1766) in Northeastern Kazakhstan (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

A West Palaearctic noctuid species Lithophane furcifera (Hufnagel, 1766) is reported from North-East Kazakhstan. This record is a first find of the species in Kazakhstan as well as the easternmost confirmed locality. The distribution of the species in eastern limits of its range is directly related to the distribution of its hostplants, species of the genus Alnus. The adults, male and female genitalia are illustrated

Aspects of the Particular Genetics of Grapes Prolonged for All Horticulture Crops

The modern level of knowledge development in the field of fundamental sciences makes it possible to reliably investigate the processes of evolution. The purpose of our research was to determine the need to establish the existing evolutionary transformations in resistance to abiotic and biotic stress factors of the biosphere in a grape plant, which may be natural for all horticulture crops, and on the other hand, based on the postulate of natural and experimental evolution, to prove the processes of natural evolution as a result of experimental breeding. The results obtained in the study of particular issues of genetics of grapes, based on the existence of general biological regularities, can be prolonged for interpretation, with reference to other horticulture crops. We studied the genetics of grapes, in particular crossability, the inheritance of signs and characteristics, the establishment of regularities in the display of selection value, and heterosis, allowing us to formulate the principles of modeling a new variety. Investigating the process of creating grape varieties that are resistant to biotic factor, it was suggested to consider it from the point of view of the coevolution of the plant and pathogen
