“…Orthocephalus proserpinae and O. fulvipes inhabit the Mediterranean region, O. fulvipes is additionally known from Arabian Peninsula and Iran ( Kerzhner & Josifov, 1999 ; Namyatova & Konstantinov, 2009 ). Numerous collecting expeditions have been taken in Central Asia, Mongolia, Siberia, Russian Far East, European part of Russia by the Russian and Soviet entomologists, and their collections are mainly preserved at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences ( Konstantinov & Namyatova, 2019 ). Although many records from European countries were excluded (see below), this region is still well represented in the current analysis.…”

Previously climatic niche modelling had been studied for only a few trans-Palearctic species. It is unclear whether and to what extent those niches are different, and which climatic variables influence such a wide distribution. Here, environmental niche modelling is performed based on the Worldclim variables using Maxent for eight species of the genus Orthocephalus (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae: Orthotylinae). This group belongs to one of the largest insect families and it is distributed across Palearctic. Orthocephalus bivittatus, O. brevis, O. saltator and O. vittipennis are distributed across Europe and Asia; O. coriaceus, O. fulvipes, O. funestus, O. proserpinae have more limited distribution. Niche comparison using ENMTools was also undertaken to compare the niches of these species, and to test whether the niches of closely related species with trans-Palearctic distributions are more similar to each other, than to other congeners. It has been found that climatic niche models of all trans-Palearctic species under study are similar but are not identical to each other. This has been supported by niche geographic projections, climatic variables contributing to the models and variable ranges. Climatic niche models of all the trans-Palearctic Orthocephalus species are also very similar to two species having more restricted distribution (O. coriaceus, O. funestus). Results of this study suggest that trans-Palearctic distributions can have different geographic ranges and be shaped by different climatic factors.

“…In case of CR and CBR models of O. vittipennis, the favorable conditions extend to the almost entire northern Russia, but, again, it has never been collected there. Considering the large number of mirid samplings from those regions (Konstantinov and Namyatova, 2019), it is very unlikely that O. bivittatus and O. vittipennis live in the north of Russia.…”

The environmental conditions limiting the distribution of trans-Palearctic species from various groups remain poorly studied. This work addresses the topic from three perspectives: (1) analysis of climatic variables, biomes and climate zones corresponding to the actual records; (2) assessment of environmental niches and contribution of biomes to those niches; (3) comparison of the distributional limits of trans-Palearctic and more local species. The genus Orthocephalus (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae) is used as a model taxon. The results have demonstrated that all trans-Palearctic species of this genus are known from numerous biomes and climate zones, but each of them has unique preferences. Biomes significantly contribute to the environmental niches of some of those species. None of the trans-Palearctic species were recorded from the hot steppe and desert climate zones, which occupy large areas in the Palearctic, although certain rare and local species inhabit those regions. This means that the trans-Palearctic species cannot easily adapt to those conditions.

With the continuous development of network technology, network technology has been applied to various fields of social life and production. The development of Library and information industry is advancing with the progress of technology and has brought about great changes. How to face the challenge of the progress of network technology for Library and information science, and how to promote the reform and innovation of Library and information science is an important problem at present. This paper aims to study the challenges faced by library and Information Science in the era of network, and look forward to the future reform and innovation direction and path of Library and information science through the current situation. In this paper, qualitative and quantitative research methods combined with CO word analysis are used to sort out the interdisciplinary research topics of Library and information science, as well as the changes and comparison of Library and information science research methods in the era of network, so as to get the development trend and direction of Library and Information Science in China. Research and analysis show that the main research of Library and information science focuses on "computer and computer application". With the continuous progress of network technology, there are more and more network technologies involved in Library and information institutions, which will produce more and more research topics. At the same time, the research methods of Library and Information Science in China are also out of date. Only by applying computer technology Only by applying it to the research and enriching the existing researchers to construct the network of information resources, can the data statistics and analysis be carried out with the highest efficiency, so as to realize the positive promotion for the discipline and other disciplines. In the network era, the future development of Library and information science requires us to make steady progress and comply with the new requirements and changes of the network era, so as to make the development of Library and information science more complete and adapt to the higher requirements of the network era.
