The caddisfly fauna of 10 Protected Natural Areas (PNAs) in the southern part of the Russian Far East (9 on the continental part of Primorye Territory, and 1 on Kunashir Island, South Kuriles) were investigated and analyzed based on our own and literature data. The total caddisfly species list of studied PNAs includes 310 species of 90 genera, belonging to 26 families. The Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve is habitat for 97 species, Udege Legend − 56, Khankaysky − 119, Ussuriisky − 93, Lazovsky − 68, Tiger Call − 42, Kedrovaya Pad − 93, Leopard Land − 80, Far Eastern Marine − 59, and Kurilsky − 87. One hundred fifty-two species are added to lists of caddisflies in studied PNAs including, 5 in Sikhote-Alin, 40 in Udege Legend, 15 in Khankaysky, 11 in Ussuriisky, 8 in Lazovsky, 18 in Tiger Call, 2 in Kedrovaya Pad, 27 in Leopard Land, and 17 in Far Eastern Marine. Among 28 endemic and rare species, some are recommended for inclusion in the Russian Red Lists. A comparison of Trichoptera faunas showed the highest similarity between mountain, forested, well-investigated PNAs: Sikhote-Alin, Kedrovaya Pad, and Ussuriisky. The most distinctive caddisfly fauna is in the insular, southeasternmost Kurile Nature Reserve (63.2% specificity relative to other studied PNAs), and in the unforested lowland Khankaysky Nature Reserve (34.7% specificity). Comparisons of the species lists of closely located areas without accounting for longitudinal distribution of organisms and landscape peculiarities largely helps to identify faunal-landscape complexes, rather than biogeographic differences among faunas. All caddisfly species discovered in the PNAs are considered inhabitants of clean waters and their Tolerance Values are estimated from 0 to 4 (on a scale of 0 to 10) as a starting point.

Wild ginseng Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. (Araliaceae) is a rare medicinal plant. The aim of this work is to assess the state of ginseng cenopopulations in the Ussuriysky State Nature Reserve, and to search of indicator species of its optimal habitats. The reserve is located on the southern spurs of the Sikhote-Alin ridge in the basins of the Artyomovka and Komarovka rivers. In the course of route studies in the period from 2012 to 2019, phenological observations, description of habitats, determination of the age status and morphometry of 77 plants found in 8 types of forest were carried out. A large part of the finds belong to the cedar forests hornbeam – 44.4 %. Analysis of the species composition of the immediate environment of the relic, performed on 36-meter sites, revealed 41 species of vascular plants. Based on the generalized analysis of author's and literature data, a list of 7 species–indicators of optimal habitats for ginseng reintroduction was selected: Oxalis acetosella, Phryma asiatica, Hylomecon vernalis, Thalictrum filamentosum, Maianthemum bifolium, Galium davuricum, Carex ussuriensis. The number and composition of associated species varies depending on the type of forest. Long-term observations carried out in the reserve have revealed significant changes in the phenology of P. ginseng. In recent years, there has been a shift in the beginning of the growing season, flowering and ripening of fruits to earlier dates. Modern findings of ginseng in atypical habitats are described, indicating a broader ecological amplitude of its growth than was indicated by the first researchers. The age composition of the population is normal, but incomplete, there are no senile, very few mature generative plants, the rise falls on the group of medium-generative plants. In order to construct a vitality spectrum, plants from the most numerous age group in the generative middle-aged state g2 (n = 22) are ranked according to stem height into three vitality classes: higher (> 55 cm), medium (35-55 cm) and lower (< 35 cm). Frequency distribution analysis revealed predominance plants of the higher and middle classes of vitality. The vital spectrum indicates the equilibrium state of the population. Good fruiting and renewal of ginseng indicates the preservation of the species in the protected area, and the compliance of modern conditions of natural habitats to its ecological optimum.

Осуществлена ревизия видового состава герпетофауны Дальневосточного морского биосферного заповедника. Уточнены локалитеты монгольской жабы Strauchbufo raddei. Приведены аргументы в пользу того, что на о-ве Стенина обитает дальневосточная жаба Bufo gargarizans, а не S. raddei, как считалось ранее. Для подтверждения нахождения последнего вида в окрестностях регионального памятника природы Голубиный утес рекомендовано выполнить дополнительные исследования. Из видового списка заповедника исключена амурская долгохвостка Takydromus amurensis. Приведена новая информация по распространению на юге Приморского края отдельных видов герпетофауны: чернопятнистой лягушки Pelophylax nigromaculatus на о-веФуругельма и большого морского крайта Pseudolaticauda semifasciata в прибрежных водах у пос. Преображение Лазовского района. Составлен обновленный список амфибий и рептилий заповедника с указанием современных таксономических наименований, соответствующих ведущим международным базам данных. Впервые на островах и Дальнем Востоке России кариотипирована B. gargarizans, отловленная на о-ве Стенина. При исследовании хромосомного набора для (2n 22) в ее костном мозге обнаружена высокая инфицированность трипаносомами. The species composition of the herpetofauna of the Far Eastern Marine Biosphere Reserve was revised. The clarification of locality of the Mongolian tode (Strauchbufo raddei) was made. It was argued that the Asiatic tode (Bufo gargarizans) but not S. raddei inhabits the Stenina Island, as previously thought. To confirm the location of the last species in the area of the regional protected natural sanctuary Golubiny Utes, it is recommended to conduct additional research in this area. The Amur grass lizard (Takydromus amurensis) has been excluded from the species list. New information about expansion of certain species of herpetofauna in the South of Primorsky Krai, including the dark-spotted frog (Pelophylax nigromaculatus) in the Furugelm Island and the black-banded sea krait (Pseudolaticauda semifasciata) in the coastal waters of the Preobrazheniye urban-type settlement in Lazovsky District was reported. The updated list of amphibians and reptiles of the Reserve with modern taxonomic names that correspond to leading international databases has been compiled. For the first time, B. gargarizans caught on Stenina Island was karyotyped on the Islands and in the Russian Far East. While studying the chromosomal sets (2n 22) of this species, it was found that bone marrow was highly infected with Trypanosoma.

Subject. The article addresses the tax liabilities of taxpayers registered in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, which should be paid to the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation, as well as the factors of the said debt growth. Objectives. Our aim is to assess the level of tax debt of regions of the Russian Far East and identify the correlation between the factors and the amount of tax debt. Methods. The study rests on methods of analysis, generalization, grouping, systematization, and the correlation and regression analysis. Results. We analyzed the level of tax debt for the entire Far Eastern Federal District and by region, identified factors affecting the growth of tax debt therein. The paper assesses the structure of tax debt by type of taxes and activity of debtors. The unveiled factors may help control changes in the size of tax debt in the Russian Far East and develop effective measures to improve the debt collection. Conclusions. The study shows that there is an increase in the tax debt in the regions of the Russian Far East, in the VAT in particular. The factor analysis revealed that the volume of sales of wholesale enterprises, investment in fixed capital, the consumer price index have the largest impact on the amount of tax debt.

Young fronds of ferns are consumed as a vegetable in many countries. The aim of this study was to analyze three fern species that are available for sale in the Russian Far East as dietary sources in terms of fatty acids that are important for human physiology: arachidonic acid (20:4n-6, ARA), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) and other valuable long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The content of ARA and EPA was 5.5 and 0.5 mg/g dry weight, respectively, in Pteridium aquilinum, 4.1 and 1.1 in Matteuccia struthiopteris, and 2.2 and 0.8 in Osmundastrum asiaticum. Salted fronds of P. aquilinum contained less these fatty acids than the raw fronds, with a decrease of up to 49% for ARA and 65% for EPA. These losses were less pronounced or even insignificant in dried fronds. Cooked ferns preserved significant portions of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids: cooked P. aquilinum contained 4.4 mg/g dry weight ARA and 0.3 mg/g dry weight EPA. The ferns may provide a supplemental dietary source of these valuable long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially for vegetarian diets.
