According to the literature-derived data, araneofauna of this region consists of 285 species. More than 250 of them were listed from the Shatsk National Nature Park of the Volyn oblast and 75 from Lva-Stvyga inter-river area of the Rivne oblast. These studies cover the extreme western and eastern points of the region, while the main part of the territory remains unexplored. Based on the analysis of published data and in accordance with unpublished material of my own collection, six rare and poorly-known species of spiders of the Volhynian Polissia were singled out, namely Argyroneta aquatica (Clerck, 1757), Lathys heterophthalma Kulczyński, 1891, Gnaphosa nigerrima L. Koch, 1877, Micaria micans (Blackwall, 1858), Zelotes exiguus (Müller & Schenkel, 1895) та Erigonoplus foveatus (Dahl, 1912). Among them, Lathys heterophthalma is first mentioned from Ukrainian Polissia, Micaria micans – from Ukraine. For each of species, a brief description of the distribution in the world and in Ukraine, as well as environmental preferences are given, localities within the Volhynian Polissia are described and highlighted on the map. Analysing these data, we can assume that the number of records of species such as Argyroneta aquatica, Erigonoplus foveatus and Zelotes exiguus will certainly increase when the territory of Polissia is more fully covered by research. Two species, Lathys heterophthalma and Micaria micans, are known from single localities. However, Micaria micans as a separate species is considered only from 2020. Therefore, it is necessary to revise the available material of Micaria pulicaria, which was previously considered a senior synonym to Micaria micans, and to accumulate new data on the distribution of those two species not only in Ukraine but also in Europa. Gnaphosa nigerrima, requires monitoring of populations because it occurs in oligotrophic sphagnum bogs, the area of which has been steadily declining in recent decades. From this point of view, it should be included in the list of rare species of animals in the region.","PeriodicalId":354732,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the State Natural History Museum","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115119486","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 level of adaptability of mosses depended on the concentration of toxic ions, the growing environment, and the vital strategy of the moss. It was established that with increasing concentration of lead ions in the environment, the generative propagation of mosses was suppressed, the percentage of germination of spores decreased, the differentiation of protonema and the speed of gametophore development slowed down, the size of cells, number and size of leaves decreased. Obviously, under the influence of elevated lead concentrations, significant changes in metabolic processes occurred in moss cells and showed signs of xeromorphism. The results of the analysis of the rates of gametophyte differentiation and the state of the antioxidant system of mosses B. argenteum and F. hygrometrica, depending on the content of heavy metal ions, show different adaptive capacity.

Their faunal similarity was determined using the Sorensen and Jaccard indexes integrated into the web resource. The territorys have been identified, which are promising for further studies of the fauna and ecology of oribatid mites. The purpose of our work was to test some features of the web resource \"Biodiversity of Ukraine\" on the example of Transcarpathian oribatids. This approach for the analysis of the diversity of oribatid mites was made for the first time. 273 records representing 129 species of oribatid mites were made for the Transcarpathian lowland. 154 records for 98 species were made for the Vulkanichno-intermountaindells oblast. 507 records for 183 species of oribatids were integrated for Polonynsko-Chornohirska region. 42 finds of 37 species were made for the Marmarosh massive. 114 records of 96 species of oribatids were integrated for the Transcarpathian part of Gorgany massive. It is established that a number of mountain massifs remain completely unexplored in terms of oribatids: Vyhorlat-Hutynskyi, Velykyi Dil, Tupyi and Verkhovynskyi. The latter remains unexplored not only within Transcarpathia but within the entire Verkhovynskyi Watershed range. All these areas are promising in the study of not only taxonomic diversity, but also the ecological characteristics of oribatid mites. The indicators of Sorensen and Jaccard indexes were counted. The value of these indicators depends on the ecological conditions of specific georegions and the degree of studien for oribatid mites. The perspective expediency of using the web-resource \"Biodiversity of Ukraine\" for comparison of fauna of oribatid mites of different georegions is established. After the integration of more complete information about oribatid mites into the database of the web resource \"Biodiversity of Ukraine\" it will be expedient to make a faunal comparison of georegions not only of Transcarpathia but also of other territories.

Juveniles of this species were observed in Chortkiv already in 2017, but only in 2020 their exact species affiliation was identified, the presence of an established colony was confirmed and the peculiarities of its phenotypic composition were analyzed. The obtained data were compared with other colonies of the grove snail, which were found in Western Ukraine (Lviv and its environs, Bohorodchany in Ivano-Frankivsk region) in 2019-2020 and described in previous publications. Most of the conchological material collected in Chortkiv is deposited in the malacological collection of the State Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Lviv. In the Chortkiv colony of C. nemoralis, a hereditary trait was found, which occurs sporadically in the natural range of the grove snail, but has not yet been registered in Ukraine. This feature is manifested in the uneven pigmentation of dark spiral bands on the shell, the alternation of lighter and darker fragments on them, which can create the impression of spotted, interrupted bands. In the analyzed sample, such bands had 25.6% of banded shells, and they occurred twice as often in yellow (41.2%) than in pink (18.5%) shells. This agrees well with the known data on the linked inheritance of this trait and the ground colour of the shell. However, the shells with fused bands, regardless of their ground colour, almost always had normally pigmented bands, dark along their entire length. In some individuals with unevenly pigmented bands, the splitting of the fourth or fifth band into 2-3 narrow longitudinal bands was also observed. Another feature of the Chortkiv colony of C. nemoralis compared to other known Western Ukrainian colonies of this species is the very low frequencies of all lighter variants of the shell colouration (yellow and pink unbanded or with one central band) and a very high proportion of phenotypes with 3 lower bands (49.6%). The ratio of the main variants of the shell colouration of C. nemoralis in Chortkiv, which is not typical for Western Ukraine, makes the found colony a valuable object for studying potential adaptive changes in its phenotypic composition in the future.","PeriodicalId":354732,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the State Natural History Museum","volume":"4 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120847690","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}
