Изучали характер и масштаб сезонных изменений пигментного состава хвои разных видов ели (Picea A. Dietr.) в условиях интродукции в Нижегородскую область, выявляли содержание и баланс пластидных пигментов фотосинтеза. Объектами исследования выступали 13 видов ели, относящихся к аборигенам и экзотам: ель европейская (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.); ель сибирская (Picea obovata Ledeb.); ель Глена (Picea glehnii (F. Schmidt) Mast.); ель белая (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss); ель шероховатая (Picea asperata Masters); ель черная (Picea mariana Mill., Britton, Sterns & Poggenburg); ель колючая форма серебристая (Picea pungens Engelm., f. argentea); ель колючая форма голубая (Picea pungens Engelm., f. glauca Regel); ель сербская (Picea omorika (Pančić) Purk.); ель Энгельмана (Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.); ель колючая (Picea pungens Engelm.); ель аянская (Picea jezoensis (Siebold & Zucc.) Carrière); ель корейская (Picea koraiensis Nakai). Отбор проб осуществлен рендомизированно с соблюдением принципа единственного логического различия. Использовали спектрофотометр СФ-2000. Установлено, что содержание и соотношение пластидных пигментов в хвое динамично в течение года. Определена эффективность влияния фаз сезонного развития растений на характеристики пигментного состава: по содержанию хлорофилла-a – 18,86±0,32%; по содержанию хлорофилла-b – 21,26±0,31%; по сумме хлорофиллов – 16,13±0,33%; по каротиноидам – 37,43±0,25%; по доле хлорофилла-a – 39,74±0,24% и доле хлорофилла-b – 39,74±0,24%. Эффект влияния межвидовых различий по показателям содержания и соотношения разных форм хлорофилла и каротиноидов достоверен и в достаточной мере выравнен при максимуме 23,56±0,91%. При общих тенденциях в сезонной динамике представители рода ель обладают заметной видоспецифичностью пигментного состава. We studied the nature and scale of seasonal changes in the pigment composition of needles of different spruce species (Picea A. Dietr.) under the conditions of introduction to the Nizhny Novgorod region, and revealed the content and balance of photosynthetic plastid pigments. The objects of the study were 13 species of spruce belonging to aborigines and exotics: Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.); Siberian spruce (Picea obovata Ledeb.); Glen spruce (Picea glehnii (F. Schmidt) Mast.); white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss); Dragon spruce (Picea asperata Masters); black spruce (Picea mariana Mill., Britton, Sterns & Poggenburg); silver prickly spruce (Picea pungens Engelm., f. argentea); blue prickly spruce (Picea pungens Engelm., f. glauca Regel); Serbian spruce (Picea omorika (Pančić) Purk.); Engelman spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.); Blue spruce (Picea pungens engelm.); Ayan spruce (Picea jezoensis (Siebold & Zucc.) carrière); Korean spruce (Picea koraiensis Nakai). Sampling was carried out in a randomized manner, following the principle of a single logical difference. A spectrophotometer SF-2000 was used. It was found that the content and ratio of plastid pigments in conifers is dynamic throughout the year. The effectiveness of the influence of the phases of seasonal plant development on the characteristics of the pigment composition is determined: by the content of chlorophyll-a-18.86±0.32%; by the content of chlorophyll-b-21.26±0.31%; by the sum of chlorophylls-16.13±0.33%; by carotenoids – 37.43±0.25%; by the proportion of chlorophyll-a – 39.74±0.24% and the proportion of chlorophyll-b – 39.74±0.24%. The effect of interspecific differences in the content and ratio of different forms of chlorophyll and carotenoids is significant and sufficiently equalized at a maximum of 23.56±0.91%. With General trends in seasonal dynamics, representatives of the spruce genus have a noticeable species-specific pigment composition.

Abstract We study size-at-age and sexual variability of morphometric characteristics of the marsh frog. According to the size of the body, males were divided into three size-age groups (juvenis, subadultus, adultus), females — into four groups (juvenis, subadultus, adultus, adultus-I). We found that the chronological age of frogs (skeletochronology) does not always correspond to their biological age (size and proportions of the body). We noted that the semi-adult males are reliably larger than females by mean values of 26 studied morphometric characters. Males and females of “adultus” group do not differ by linear body size, significant differences were found in body proportions (7 characters). For the females of “adultus-I” group, the mean values of 26 characters are significantly larger than for “adultus” males. The results of our study showed that with the age of the marsh frog, the level of exhibition, directionality and structure of morphometric sex differences changes.
