The north of Western Siberia has seen intensive economic development. Exploration and mining for mineral resources, active road and pipeline construction, urban development, and agriculture favor invasion and dispersal of alien plant species across the Subarctic region. The paper reports new records for eight alien species and hybrids previously unknown from northwest Siberia and the flora of northern Asia: Alopecurus geniculatus L., Anthyllis vulneraria L. subsp. vulneraria, Aquilegia atrata W.D.J. Koch, A. vulgaris L., Epilobium franciscanum Barbey, Galium album Mill. subsp. album, Petunia atkinsiana (Sweet) D. Don ex W.H. Baxter, Primula elatior (L.) Hill. These species were spotted in 2012–2014 in the towns of Salekhard, Nadym, Novy Urengoy, Tarko-Sale, Gubkinsky, and Noyabrsk in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, Western Siberia (Russia). Species, synonyms, overall distribution, habitat preferences, and species taxonomy with remarks on identification and differentiation from the most similar taxa occurring in the study area, as well as the list of localities are presented.

Researchers identify three stages in the organization of forced migrations of peasants and their families in the early 1930 to the North of Western Siberia. This was due to mass dekulakization in the USSR. Previous studies often contain contradictory and incomplete data. These relate to the chronology stages and number of peasants. The article is a continuation of the research topic. This is a clarification of the stages of the “kulak” exile and the number of peasants sent to the North. This is the territory of the Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous districts today. In the study of the beginning of the stage (1930), we have clarity. We do not have complete data about the second stage. These are questions such as the time of sending special settlers, transportation, the number of exiles. We want to clarify which organizations they were sent to work for. We do not have precise data on the geography of settlement. We do not know the total number of special settlers by the end of 1931 in the national districts. The researchers did not provide data on demographic losses. The article examines the little-studied and debatable issues of the second stage of peasant exile based on available research and available sources. It is considered on the materials of the Ostyako-Vogul and Yamalo-Nenets districts (1931). The author finds out the chronological boundaries of the methods of transporting peasants in the summer of 1931. The article provides reasonable data on the number of sent special settlers (1930-1931). The researcher shows the placement areas. The article examines the actual presence of a special population in the national districts by the end of 1931.

An annotated list of spider wasps collected in the circumpolar region of Western Siberia (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District) for the first time is given. The six species are listed, of them five species are newly recorded from Tyumen Prov. and Episyron rufipes (Linnaeus, 1758) is newly recorded from Western Siberia.

Abstract. The article proposes one of the tools for effective forest management a methodology for assessing forest biodiversity based on the Shannon index or the evenness of biomes formed by dominant edificator trees. The concept is given and the formula for determining the Shannon biodiversity index for communities (biomes) is provided, depending on the probability distribution of edificator trees. Moreover, the biome index is determined on the basis of the occurrence, and the probability distribution of edificators is determined by the dominant species: larch, pine, cedar, spruce and birch on the territory of their continuous and mosaic growth in the taiga and forest-tundra zones of forestry enterprises in the north of Western Siberia. This makes it possible to give a preliminary estimate of the possible values of the biodiversity index of a vast area occupied by forest using satellite observations. Using the descriptions of biomes of the noted edificator trees given by B.N. Norin, V.I. Valutskiy and E.I. Lapshina, the authors of the article obtained indices of the Shannon biodiversity and uniformity for a number of biomes similar in terms of growing conditions to the forest zone of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area. The probability distribution of edificator trees was obtained on the basis of data on the growing area of these species on the interactive map Forests of Russia as of 01.01.2018. As a result, an assessment of the biodiversity of the forest area in each forestry enterprise was obtained and a map of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area forestry enterprises with the digital values of this index is provided.

The main features of the geochemistry of individual aromatic compounds (phenanthrenes, dibenzothiophenes, mono- and triaromatic steroids) in chloroform extracts (bitumoids) from the open (regular form and coarse-crushed (≥0.5 cm) samples) and closed (fine-crushed (0.25 mm) samples) pore space of the Bazhenov Formation have been determined. The differences in the aromatic compounds distribution of organic matter of the Bazhenov Formation in the North of the Khantey hemiantheclise (Surgut region, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District, Western Siberia) are mainly related to its stage of thermal maturity which decreases in the south-west direction within the studying area. The most sensitive to maturity variations at the same catagenesis gradation are the parameters: CPI, Ts/Tm, 1/Ki ((n-C17 + n-C18)/(Pr + Ph)), MDR (4-MDBT/1-MDBT), DBTI ((2+3-MDBT)/DBT) and TASI (TAS I/(TAS I + TAS II)). Based on some indicators (PI, MPI, PP-1, MDR, DBTI etc.), it is possible to notice the decrease and equalization of its values in bitumoids from closed pores compared with those from open ones. It seems to be associated with the removal of the most transformed, light and migratory-capable part of bitumoids during their extraction from the open pore space of rocks.

Purpose. Ust-Voikarskoe site is situated in the Lower Ob Region (Shuryshkarsky district of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, Russia). It represents autochthonous late Middle-Age culture of the north of Western Siberia. The article discusses verification of the sources used for analysis that would confirm possible identity of the archeological site Ust-Voikarskoe and a historical settlement of the Middle-Age, Voikarsky Gorodok. Results. Firstly, researches noted that the archaeological site had been known in the written sources as Ostyak (Khanty) Voikarsky Gorodok since at least the beginning of the 17th century, including Russian fiscal documents. Siberian local historians of the 2nd half of the 19th century mentioned some “ancient hills” located near the village of Voikarskie Yurty. At the same time, there is a group of other sources which have not been analyzed yet. A complex review of all the sources that we conducted tells us an intricate story with more questions than answers. Where exactly were “ancient hills” near the village of Voikarskie Yurty located? What did they look like? We discovered that the Khanty had a few settlements named Voikarskie Yurty. So, the question remains, which Voikarskie Yurty was located near the settlement identified by historians as Voikarsky Gorodok? Conclusion. Known historical materials cannot indisputably prove the identity of the archeological Ust-Voikarskoe site and the historical Middle-Age settlement of Voikarsky Gorodok. They also cannot be the ground to say that these places are connected with the territory that was explored by archaeologists at the beginning of the 21st century.
