We suggested that the evolution in severe climatic conditions and costly adaptations to low ambient temperatures may result in decrease of immunity of this species, because it prevents acquisition of adequate resources to develop robust immune responses. We estimated humoral immune response to a non-replicating antigen (sheep red blood cells) in ten captive Pallas’ cats, twelve domestic cats and six Far Eastern wildcats. Blood-sampling was conducted prior to and 21 days after the injection. We analyzed changes in body mass, number of leukocytes, IgG concentration and hemoagglutination/hemolysis titer. Pallas’ cat had lower hemoagglutination/hemolysis titer before the injection and showed lower titer than the two other felids three weeks after the injection. These results may reflect a lower level of natural antibodies in Pallas’ cat than in the two other species and, possibly, lower innate immunity of this species. Domestic cats, which were serum positive to feline coronavirus, also showed lower hemoagglutination/hemolysis titer during the experiment than serum negative animals.

The review is based on 14C dated materials from cave and archeological sites. During the studied period the species composition of large mammals was nearly constant and similar to the modern one with azonal species dominating in the fauna. The faunal composition of the southern part of forest-tundra zone differed from the northern part by the presence of the beaver and otter. Minor changes in the faunal composition took place only in the northern part of this area at the end of the Subatlantic period and concerned changes in the northern boundary of the sable range. It was controlled by the shift of northern forest boundary and the increased human activities. People completely exterminated beavers and sables in the region by the mid 18th century. The mountain hare, polar fox, and reindeer had persistently high numbers during the Late Holocene in the forest-tundra zone. The numbers of other species were low. The modern mammal species composition of the forest-tundra zone was formed by the interplay of climatic change and commercial activity of people.

Multivariate analyses (nonmetric multidimensional scaling and multivariate allometry) were used to estimate a sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in cranial characters. A high degree of the sexual dimorphism was found in the Altai weasel population. All morphometric characters in the males were larger than those in the females. An average sexual size dimorphism (ASSD) of M. altaica lies within the genus Mustela range. In this species, the SSD is a result of differences in the scale and allometry of cranial characters between sexes, reflecting the differences in male/female allometric ontogenetic patterns. The results are discussed in relation to the existing hypotheses on sexual dimorphism in the mustelids: food competition, sexual selection, and differences in reproductive strategies.

During 2017–2018 we studied the reproduction of a common abundant species, the yellow-necked mouse Sylvaemus flavicollis, in oak communities to determine if the timing of reproduction has a predictive character during the autumn peak of reproduction. During the maturation of acorns the proportion of females in oestrus gradually decreased along with the share of males with reproductive activity. By the time the acorns were completely ripe and fell, the most of juveniles became independent, and a portion of the young females became sexually mature. In 2018, a high yield oak year, the sexual activity of the males was considerably higher than that in 2017, a moderate yield oak year, what can point on its role in the regulation of the intensity of reproduction. Thus, instead of any prediction, mating and pregnancy in a large proportion of the mice, began at the beginning of acorn ripening, due to females feeding on immature seeds, eliminating a delay between forage yield and rodent reproduction. A possible reason for this synchronization is the contents of triacylglycerols, the main constituents of body fat in animals, in the rodent diet. During the maturation of acorns, its proportion increases considerably, which can increase the survival rate of juveniles.

The following teeth were studied: the second upper and the third lower incisors, the fourth upper premolar, and the first upper and first lower molars. The upper second incisor is the largest among vestigial teeth and is less likely to be reabsorbed than the others. Growth duration for the majority of vestigial teeth is short (1–2 years). For most of the vestigial teeth, independent of the total number of cement layers and/or age of the walrus, only the enamel and partial upper part of dentine were worn off — without deforming any cementum layers. Generally the weight and width of the upper second incisor and the upper fourth premolar will increase relative to the number of annual cement layers added. For the majority of vestigial teeth examined, the number of cement layers coincided on pairs of teeth the same individual but seldom coincided with the number of cementum layers on other non-vestigial teeth. Because of irregular deposition of cementum layers, vestigial teeth should not be used for age determination of purposes. How to cite this article: Kryukova N.V. 2018.

The analysis revealed 112 ISSR bands, 101 of which were polymorphic. Seven ISSR primers ((AG)8 T, (GGAGA)5, (GACA)4, (TG)8 A, (CAG)5 GC, (CAG)4 AC and (GA)8 AC)) were optimized from total 20 primers. (AG)8 T and (GA)8 AC primers were most informative to distinguish cytotypes by producing specific bands for 2n = 54 and 2n = 60. The cytotypes in genetically close relationships were separated into three different groups by UPGMA cluster analysis, in which, the highest genetic diversity was measured for 2n = 60. Our results showed that ISSR markers can be used as a simple and reliable molecular tool, for the estimation of genetic diversity in cytotypes of Nannospalax at low range genetic distances.
