The highest and lowest numbers of food objects were recorded in May and September, respectively. Insects are the basic food objects of L. agilis, their occurrence frequency being 100% during the whole active-life period. Coleoptera representatives predominated in the diet (25.4–40.5% by number, 43.5–70.9% by weight). The fractions of Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, etc. were somewhat lower. Well-flying and quickly-moving insects predominated in the food spectrum of L. agilis. Rather many invertebrates with cryptic colour, poisonous, stinging and badly smelt ones were frequently met among the nutrition objects. Moreover, vegetable remains (seeds, leaves, flower fragments etc.) and various small stones to act probably as gastrolytes were found in many stomachs.","PeriodicalId":33231,"journal":{"name":"Povolzhskii ekologicheskii zhurnal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42969530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors distinguish four climatic periods determined by the humideness of the territory, namely: the mid-18 th century – 1820s; 1830s – 1950s; 1960s – the end-1980s; and 1990s – 2010s. For each period, features of the area are described, related to humidification and human economic activity, and, as a result, changes in flora and fauna characteristics of the region. In the clayey semi-desert in the Trans-Volga region, only the existence and character of aquatic and near-water communities is shown to directly de-pend on climatogenic factors. Most changes in the animal world of other community types reflect various stages and forms of the economic use of the territory and are only corrected by climatic changes. The ravine forests in lake depressions existed until the 19 th century ensured the presence of a complex of ravine-forest species in the regional fauna. After the deforestation of these communities, some part of the species of this complex completely disappeared from the region, some part became synanthropes, and the other one firstly disappeared but later returned to the region, after the appearance of polydominant tree-bush communities in lake depressions and artificial forest belts and gardens on the plain. Because of the strong grazing during an arid climatic period, there was a change of steppe plant associations on the plain to desert ones, so that some steppe animal species also disappeared from the region with some desert ones having come to their place. The plowing of plain areas has led to the appearance of species in the region, which use plowing as their feeding sites. Various forms of human development of the territory have led to the arrival of a number of species from other regions.

This is a holarctic forest-steppe species, a herbaceous perennial. The variability of the ratio of female to hermaphrodite individuals in 26 coenopopulations of O. vulgare from several habitats was investigated (in 8 populations by our own research in the Southern Siberia, and in 18 populations according to literature data from Eastern Europe). In all habitats the projective cover of the species was indicated by standard geobotanical methods. The plants studied have a long-root life form, therefore, a partial shoot or a partial shrub was used as a counting unit (an individual). The sexual structure of coenopopulations was studied by counting generative individuals on transects with an area of 10 to 20 m 2 . In each population the total number of individuals to be counted was at least 90. A significant positive correlation between the projective cover of O. vulgare in the phytocenosis and the proportion of female individuals in coenopopulations was found (the correlation coefficient r = 0.86, p = 0.001). ANOVA analysis has revealed no statistically significant difference in the proportion of females in 6 versions of various phytocenoses: F emp = 3.36 ( F crit5,5 = 5.1, p = 0.05). Considering features of the biomorphology and reproductive biology of various sexual individuals of O. vulgare , one can suggest that the increase of the projective cover of the species in the phytocenosis and the increase in the female individual proportion in the sexual spectrum depend on the successful growing of the seed regeneration in the phytocenosis.","PeriodicalId":33231,"journal":{"name":"Povolzhskii ekologicheskii zhurnal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42147798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper presents the results of our observations of the development of pups in the postnatal period, which is necessary for the development of an integrated approach combining the creation of semi-natural reserve populations of the species in natural mega-enclosures with raising litters in ex situ conditions. Pregnant speckled ground squirrel females (n = 8) mated in nature (in situ) were captured at the Kosyrovsky cemetery (Lipetsk City) in April 2017. The females were observed from their trapping until delivery, pups (n = 32) were observed from their birth to 64–77 days. The survival rate of pups was 59%. The obtained data on the dynamics of body mass and the timing of the appearance of some morphological features allow using the devised scale to estimate the age from birth to one month of age with an accuracy of two–three days. After the age of one month when pups start feeding by their own, their keeping in cages favors fat accumulation, and at the age of 7–8 weeks the weight of the animals from cages and nature becomes similar with the further better advance of the first ones. Further improvements in the methods of keeping pregnant females and their litters ex situ are necessary for more successful growing squirrel pups during the first weeks of their life.","PeriodicalId":33231,"journal":{"name":"Povolzhskii ekologicheskii zhurnal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48095341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With examples of Potentilla fruticosa plants grown at three sites in the radionuclide 90Sr and 137Cs contamination gradient, in the course of our long-term (2005-2013) survey, it was established that as the irradiation level raised, the leaf size and the leafstalk length decreased, the index of the fluctuating asymmetry of the terminal lobe leaf of increased regardless of the period of vegetation and the year of observation. The morphological characteristics (the length, width and area of the leaf blade and those of the leaf terminal lobe, and the leafstalk length) were measured using digital image analysis, MapInfo software. Statistically significant differences in the morphological characteristics of the leaf were noted only in the most contaminated samples in comparison to the reference one. As the radiation load raised, the inter-annual variability of the leafstalk length increased from low to high level regardless of the vegetation period. When estimating the fluctuating asymmetry of the final leaf fraction, statistically significant differences were found for the plants from the samples exposed to radiation in comparison to the control one. Using the fluctuating asymmetry index, the environment quality was characterized as critical for the EURT impact areas while this index was normal for the background.","PeriodicalId":33231,"journal":{"name":"Povolzhskii ekologicheskii zhurnal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43839777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
