Genetic assignment of captive European pond turtles (Emys orbicularis) increases conservation value of recovery centres

The annotated list of hepatics of the Sochi National Park includes 80 taxa. It is based on literature records and identification of 250 specimens collected by the authors. Scapania obcordata (Berggr.) S. W. Arnell and Calypogeia fissa (L.) Raddi var. intermedia (C. E. O. Jensen) Jorg. are new for the Caucasus, 17 taxa are new for Krasnodar Territory, 41 hepatics are reported for the first time for the park. New localities of 3 red-listed European species and of 6 species included in the Red Data Book of Krasnodar Territory are cited, indicating significant conservation value of the reserve.

Taxonomic Analysis

The literature data on the brioflora in “Cape Martyan” nature reserve have been summarized in the article. The annotated listing of bryophytes in the territory, which includes 71 species: 3 liverworts and 68 mosses, is reproduced. A taxonomic, sozological and geographic analysis of brioflora in the nature reserve is set out in the paper. The briological materials lend credence to a high scientific significancy and conservation value of the nature reserve territory.

Hard Time

This chapter relates the story of the development of recent ideas relating to ecosystems that are greatly modified by environmental and biological changes. Originally such ecosystems were given attention simply because they were an understudied set of systems that could teach us about how ecological communities assemble and reassemble. However, as the widespread prevalence of such “novel ecosystems” became obvious, some data suggested they could deliver important ecosystem functions. This led to a debate regarding the values, management, and restoration of altered ecosystems. The original papers had a hard time in the review process, and debate has, at times, been rancorous. However, many practitioners and ecologists now find the concept of novel ecosystems useful, and the possibility of their conservation value worth investigating.
