Mountain Aj Bogd is one of branch mountains the mount systems Mongol Altai, which is located at the middle part of Mongol Altai mountain. Mountain Aj Bogd is similar with surface typology, deposits, form relief, erosion and accumulation process, mountain side, dissection, age and land­scape of main mountains of Mongol Altai. Aj Bogd Mountain is a mounting system had existed which surrounding by valleys and depressions and related by kotal and pass from the main ridge of the Mongolian Altai mountains. The Aj Bogd Mountain segregated to the east by Gobi Khonin Us, to the north from the mountain Khubch by pass Zoolin Bogd and the Mongol Altai mountain by depressions of Alag lake, to the west from mountains Ikh Tayan by dale of the Tuhum,Tooroi, to the south by Nomingiin gobi. The highest peak of this mountain Aj Bogd is 3093.3 m high above the sea level. The relief and peak of a mountain is mostly cupola or plane shaped because of in longest time weathered by wind and water.

The origin of genetic resources domesticated by a species of animals, their importance in the development of fundamental biology and economics is considered on the example of a domestic goat. The data on genetic risks and population structure of local goat breeds inhabiting the territory of Mongolian Altai, obtained by analyzing SNP genotypes, microsatellite sequences, as well as the mitochondrial genome and genes of the Y chromosome, are presented.

Abstract. In June 2005, a series of major rockfall events completely wiped out the Bonatti Pillar located in the legendary Drus West face (Mont-Blanc massif, France). Terrestrial LiDAR scans of the face were acquired after this event but no pre-event point cloud is available. Thus, in order to reconstruct the volume and the shape of the collapsed blocks, a 3D model has been built using photogrammetry (SfM) based on 30 pictures collected on the Web. All these pictures were taken between September 2003 and May 2005. We then reconstructed the shape and volume of the fallen compartment by comparing the SfM model with terrestrial LiDAR data acquired in October 2005 and November 2011. The volume is calculated to 292’680 m3 (±5 %). This result is close to the value previously assessed by Ravanel and Deline (2008) for this same rock-avalanche (265’000 ± 10’000 m3). The difference between these two estimations can be explained by the rounded shape of the volume determined by photogrammetry, which may lead to a volume overestimation. However it is not excluded that the volume calculated by Ravanel and Deline (2008) is slightly underestimated, the thickness of the blocks having been assessed manually from historical photographs.

For the first time Agriades glandon (de Prunner, 1798) and Issoria eugenia (Eversmann, 1847) are reported from Altai region (Altai Krai, Russian Federation). We also specify the distribution of Lycaena violacea (Staudinger, 1892), Boloria aquilonaris roddi Kosterin, 2000 and Clossiana angarensis (Erschoff, 1870) in the Altai Republic (Russian Federation), Glaucopsyche argali (Elwes, 1899) and Palaeophylotes svetlana (Yakovlev, 2003) on the Mongolian Altai territory (Mongolia, Khovd aimak, Dzun-Dzhargalant-Khairkhan and Bajtag-Bogd-Uul Mountains Ranges).
