Complete Mitochondrial Genomes Provide Evidence of a Killer Whale Refugium Off the Coast of Japan During the Last Glacial Maximum

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim During glacial periods, highly mobile species often shifted to warmer, ice‐free regions known as refugia, which frequently maintained higher genetic diversity than newly colonised areas after glacial retreat. We analyse complete mitogenome sequences from 11 killer whale samples in Nemuro Strait to test the hypothesis that waters around ...

The spread of the invasive species Reynoutria japonica Houtt. will both expand and contract with climate change: results of climate modelling for 14 European countries

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3642-3653, July 2025.
Technical scheme of the study. We conducted modelling (Maxent) and predicted changes in the range of Reynoutria japonica in Europe in response to climate change. This provided a theoretical foundation for the risk assessment and effective management of plant invasions.

Phylogeography of asian sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka from the data on variability of mitochondrial SNP loci: analysis of scenarios for post-glacial expansion of the species over Asian Pacific coast

Известия ТИНРО, 2016
Variability of three SNP loci allocated in the mitochondrial DNA ( One_CO1, One_Cytb_17, One_Cytb_26 ) is analyzed for sockeye salmon from its different habitats from Chukotka to Kuril Islands.

Seismicity to the South of the Louisville Ridge‐Tonga Trench Collision Zone: New Insight Into Processes Controlling Seismic Gaps and Subduction Erosion

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The Louisville seismic gap associated with the subduction of the Louisville Ridge (LR) along the Tonga‐Kermadec trench is a globally prominent feature. Due to the lack of near‐field seismic monitoring, the earthquake potential and seismic behavior in this region have long been an enigma.

Slip Distribution of the 1952 Kamchatka Great Earthquake Based on Near-Field Tsunami Deposits and Historical Records [PDF]

, 2010
We explore the magnitude and slip distribution of the 1952 Kamchatka earthquake (MW 8.8–9.0) using constraints from the 1952 Kamchatka tsunami. Our new field data provide more comprehensive coverage of the near-field tsunami than had been available to ...

Identification of the Atmospheric Vortex Shedding Behind the Jeju Island Based on MODIS and ERA5 Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract A fascinating phenomenon often occurs as pairs of vortices in two rows on the leeward of some islands. The satellite remote sensing has been a major facilitator to observe this phenomenon. In this study, we conduct a statistical analysis on the occurrence of vortex street by processing 20‐year cloud images from the MODIS remote sensing data ...
