Microfilariae contribute to a higher energetic demand that could lead to oxidative damage and reduce hosts' fitness. Yet reports about the energy status and oxidative stress‐defense mechanisms of infected wild birds are rarely documented. We investigated the relationship between microfilariae and the energy status and oxidative damage‐defense ...

Micromorphological Characteristics of Cryosols and Ice Complex Deposits of Lena River Delta
The soils of the Lena River Delta contain significant reserves of soil organic matter, and as a result of riverine erosion and permafrost degradation, the coastal zone is undergoing rapid transformation, releasing substantial amounts of buried carbon from organic‐rich permafrost soils and Ice Complex deposits.
