On the territory of the south-east of Western Siberia (Tomsk Region), the features of the species biology are analyzed: abundance, dendroactivity, biotopic confinement, the device of a dens. Scuffs and scraps of bark left by the bear are marked on fir - 80 % and cedar -20 %. Bears were marked mainly by trees that are in the edge of the forest stand along the fringes, forest roads, winter roads and quarter walkways, animal paths. Traces of bear activity located at a height of 156 cm to 242 cm indicate the manifestation of food, comfortable and marking dendroactivity. The burlogs are confined to hard-to-reach places - forest heaps, cuttings, found in coniferous forests eaten by silkworms, on old garbage. The bergs are located beneath the roots of large trees: birches, cedar, less often under fallen trees, ovaries and fallen trees of cedar, aspen. The exit from the den is mainly directed to the south. The internal dimensions of the den often vary: length from 150 to 350 cm, height - 80-215 cm, width - 130-300 cm. In the litter - grass (33.3 %), moss (21.6 %), leaves (17, 6 %), branches (9.8 %), needles (7.8 %).

The data on distribution of small spruce bark beetle Ips amitinus (Eichh.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), a new invasive pest of European origin on the territory of Western Siberia are presented. Alien bark beetle species was recorded in the Siberian pine forests of the Tomsk, Kemerovo and Novosibirsk regions. According to the modern data the total invasion range is more than 30 thousand km² with a tendency to further expansion. The number outbreaks of I. amitinus in Siberian pine forests near settlements, in nature preservations and plantations of Pinus sibirica Du Tour cause significant harm to pine-nut harvesting and selective breeding.

The small spruce bark beetle Ips amitinus has recently been found in two West Siberian regions: Tomsk and Kemerovo. Here, we collected and identified the mites associated with I. amitinus that naturally colonized branches and twigs of Siberian pine, Pinus sibirica, in Western Siberia, Russia. Five mites species were revealed: Dendrolaelaps quadrisetus (Digamasellidae), Proctolaelaps hystricoides (Melicharidae), Iponemus leionotum and I. asiaticus (Tarsonemidae), as well as Ereynetes (Huntereynetes) sp. (Ereynetidae). Interestingly, phoresy of two species of Iponemus was observed on one host beetle. Three of the five species are known predators and parasitoids of eggs or larvae of bark beetles and could be targeted for biological control of I. amitinus in Russia.

Data on introduction of Siberian (Pinus sibirica Du Tour) and Korean (P. koraiensis Siebold et Zucc.) cedar pines in the south of Magadan Oblast are given. In 2018, male microstrobiles and female cones were formed on the Siberian pine for the first time here. The entry of the tree into the generative phase of development indicates a successful acclimatization of this species to the local conditions. Climatic changes observed in recent decades have provided sufficiently favorable conditions for the growth of introduced species of straight standing cedar pines in the south of Magadan Oblast. The results obtained show that cedar pines can be cultivated and used as decorative plantations in the conditions of Northern Priokhotye.

Zoya Ilyinichna Glezer is the largest Russian micropaleontologist, a specialist in siliceous microfossils — Cenozoic diatoms and silicoflagellates. Since the 1960s, she systematically studied Paleogene siliceous microfossils from various regions of the country and therefore was an indispensable participant in the development of unified stratigraphic schemes for Paleogene siliceous plankton of various regions of the USSR. She made a great contribution to the creation of the newest Paleogene schemes in the south of European Russia and Western Siberia, to the correlations of the Paleogene deposits of the Kara Sea.

In the Ob river floodplain between the mouths of its tributaries Vakh and Tym (within the limits of Aleksandrovskiy district of Tomsk region), phytocoenoses belonging to 9 associations and 2 communities of Braun-Blanquet classification vegetation classes are listed. Class Lemnetea is represented by associations Ricciocarpetum natantis (Segal 1963) Tx. 1974, Lemnetum trisulcae Soó 1927, Stratiotetum aloidis Miljan 1933; class Potametea is done by asso­ciations Potametum perfoliati Koch 1926, Myriophylletum sibirici Taran 1998, Myriophylletum verticillati Soó 1927, Potametum graminei Koch 1926, Potametum pectinati Carstensen 1955, Nymphoidetum peltatae (All. 1922) Bellot 1951, as well as Sagittaria natans and Potamogeton natans—Ceratophyllum demersum communities. The syntaxa distribution in Western Siberia and adjoining territories is characterized.
