The characters of A. ladakhense fall within the range of variation of a quite variable species, A. rhizanthus, and thus the former is reduced to synonymy under the latter.

Eritrichium aktonense Y.S.Lian & J.Q.Wang described from Aketao in southern Xinjiang is conspecific with E. subjacquemontii, a very widely spread and highly variable species in Pamirs, central Asia. We propose to synonymize Eritrichium aktonense with E. subjaquemontii.

Reasons for adopting the name  Acacia karroo Hayne are considered and the nomen­clature and synonymy are dealt with. A broad description of the species is provided. The relationship of  A. karroo to the closely related  A. seyal Del.,  A. hockii De Wilid. and the glandular podded  Acacia species is mentioned.  Acacia karroo Hayne, which is the most  widespread  Acacia in southern Africa, is an extremely variable species which occupies a diverse range of habitats. The range of variation within  A. karroo,  and in particular in Natal, is considered. At least six entities are recognizable within  A. karroo in Natal. The nature and range of variation within these entities is considered. No infraspecific categories are recognized within  A. karroo.

Megadiverse genera usually have a complex taxonomy. One factor influencing this complexity is concerned to synonyms, which are often numerous in widespread and morphologically variable species. In this article we examined the case of Mimosa longepedunculata and M. tocantina, two sympatric narrowly distributed species from central Brazil, considered to be synonyms in Barneby’s monograph. We show that this was an inaccurate taxonomic decision related to a misinterpretation of the type specimens and, possibly, also to sampling biases in field works. The definition of each species is here clarified and M. tocantina is reestablished and considered a distinct species from M. longepedunculata, having M. pseudosetosa as a new synonym. A regional identification key for the species is provided together with data on distribution and habitat, flowering and fruiting, conservation status, etymology, and notes on morphology. Illustrations, pictures and a full description of M. longepedunculata are also presented.

Abstract The type material of Racomitrium canescens (Hedw.) Brid. fo. erythrophyllum Sakurai from Japan is taxonomically evaluated. This form perfectly falls within the range of variation of Dilutineuron corrugatum (Bednarek-Ochyra) Bednarek- Ochyra, Sawicki, Ochyra, Szczecińska & Plášek and, accordingly, R. canescens fo. erythrophyllum is reduced to synonymy with this species name.

Problems arising from the classification and dating of Triassic rocks and ammonoids are reviewed. It is emphasized that all chronostratigraphic units must be based on stratotypes in order to achieve an unambiguous time scale. Explanations are sought for anomalies encountered when comparing ammonoid age ranges determined in North America with alleged ranges based on European and Asian occurrences. Most can be resolved by taking into account recent research on penecontemporaneous solution processes or by invoking condensation. Both have resulted in the mixing of natural faunas at European and Asian localities. Review of problems of ammonoid classification and taxonomy indicates that the recognition of a variable species is only possible when the full range of variation has been established in a population, i.e. from a series of specimens of one age obtained from one place. For discriminating higher taxa the evidence indicates that no single character, of either the inner of outer whorl, is of overriding significance for determining phylogenetic relationships. The total absence of marine Triassic rocks on the Atlantic shores supports the conclusion that this Ocean did not exist in Triassic time, but distribution of ammonoids provides some evidence to suggest that Laurasia and Gondwanaland may have been separated in the Middle Triassic. It is suggested that Triassic limestone in red Hallstatt facies may be encountered by the Deep Sea Drilling Project in Wharton Basin, west of Australia. Appendixes include: I, a discussion of the Triassic Time Scale; II, a new classification of all Triassic Ammonoidea; III, diagnoses of new taxa (seven new families, three new subfamilies, and nine new genera).

The article presents the results of the analysis of the biochemical composition of selected in the competitive variety testing of new varieties and promising lines of spring barley, studied on the experimental field ISA-branch of FGBNU FNAC VIM in 2016-2018. Result of research in different years of water availability among the rooms was allocated a group of high-protein barley with improved feed value: 4 varieties, 2 of which are on the state variety testing, and 2 promising lines. The range of variation of protein content in the grain of the selected samples varied from 13.1 to 14.5 %, lysine – from 0.48 to 0.52 %, weight of 1000 grains-from 48.0 to 53.5 g. According to the data obtained the highest value of protein in grain was observed in krupnosortnogo varieties Zlatoyar (GSI), amounting on average for 14.5 %. The increase was equal to 1.1% in relation to the control variety Yaromir. With an average yield of 6.52 t/ha in the years of research grade Accounting have provided protein per hectare in the amount of 0,94 t/ha. A new variety Sudar´ (GSI) and breeding line 149/4-12 h 788 and 129/1-14 h 907 this indicator has been less productive, however, exceeded the grade Yaromir 0.10 to 0.16 t/ha. Given the higher productivity of new promising varieties and breeding lines, the collection of lysine per unit area they have 12.7, 30.8 per cent was higher than that of the Promej class and 10.6-23.6% more than in the variety Yaromir, which indicates their high biological value. Selected hulless line 1137 h is also an encouraging source of protein and other nutrients of plant origin. The selected lines and new varieties, regardless of weather conditions, were able to ensure the production of high-protein and sources' grain for feed purposes, while maintaining productivity.

The paper deals with the taxonomy of two species of the subgenus Trachycarabus Géhin, 1876 of the genus Carabus Linnaeus, 1758, occurring in the Altay Mountains in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China: C. (T.) mandibularis Fischer von Waldheim, 1828 and C. (T.) sibiricus Fischer von Waldheim, 1820. A new subspecies, C. (T.) mandibularis abakkereiorum subsp. nov. is described from the Kran River Valley near Altay City. A new synonym is proposed: C. (T.) sibiricus obliteratus Fischer von Waldheim, 1828 = C. (T.) s. pseudobliteratus Korell et Kleinfeld, 1982, syn. nov. A key to the Trachycarabus species currently known from Xinjiang is given.

Two new species of the subgenus Egadroma Motschulsky, 1855 of the genus Stenolophus Dejean, 1821 are described: S. (Egadroma) melniki sp. nov. from Thailand and S. (Egadroma) ovchinnikovi sp. nov. from Pakistan and India. Stenolophus (E.) ovatulus (Bates, 1889), comb. nov., which was originally described within Acupalpus Latreille, 1829, is redescribed on the basis of material from China (Hainan and Fujiang provinces), Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia (first records from Thailand and Cambodia). The following new synonym is proposed: Stenolophus (E.) ovatulus (Bates, 1889) = Egadroma fukiensis Jedlička, 1953, syn. nov.

Effluents from point sources (industries, communities) and diffuse inputs introduce pollutants into the water of the river Rhine and cause a basic contaminant load. The aim is to establish a biological warning system to detect increased toxicity in addition to the already existing chemical-physical monitoring system. To cover a wide range of biocides, continuous working biotests at different trophic levels (bacteria, algae, mussels, water fleas, fishes) have been developed and proved. These are checked out for sensitivity against toxicants, reaction time, validity of data and practical handling under field conditions at the river. Test-specific appropriate methods are found to differentiate between the normal range of variation and true alarm signals.
