Information about spring ascomycetous fungi on the territory of the nature tract "Kholodnyi Yar" is presented. As the result of the study 33 species of the ascomycetous fungi were identified, 19 of which are actually spring species and 14 – found in the spring. 15 species are registered for the nature tract "Kholodnyi Yar" for the first time. The largest number of species is represented by the family Morchellaceae (5 species), as well as by the families Pezizazeae (4 species) and Sclerotiniaceae (4 species). The ecological-trophic structure is dominated by species with a saprotrophic feeding strategy, which belong to xylotrophs, humus saprotrophs and herbophilic fungi. The group of xylotrophs was the predominant group of saprotrophic fungi in terms of the number of species (10 species). Humus saprotrophs numbered 9 species of the order Pezizales. In addition, representatives of the group of herbophilic (6 species), which use last year's remnants of herbaceous plants as a substrate, were quite common. Dumontinia tuberosa was the most common species among biotrophic species which parasitizes on the rhizomes of plants of the genus Anemone and forms fruiting bodies at the same time as the flowering period of the host plant. Symbiotrophs were represented by 3 species that are also capable of the saprotrophic feeding strategy inherent to humus saprophytes. A new location for Gyromitra slonevskii, Morchella crassipes and M. steppicola – species which were listed in the third edition of the Red Book of Ukraine – has been registered. Species included in the local red lists were also identified, namely Gyromitra gigas and Verpa bohemica (Kyiv region), Helvella acetabulum (Kherson region). The finding of Phylloscypha phyllogena is the second in Ukraine and the first on the territory of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe.

Located in southwestern Maranhão, the Parque Nacional da Chapada das Mesas (PNCM), with an extent of about 160,046 ha, is completely inserted in the Cerrado phytogeographic domain. The topography is characterized by a plateau formation consisting of steep hills and medium-altitude mountains with flat tops, which give the PNCM its name. We present an annotated checklist of the mosses that occur in the PNCM. Our checklist includes 26 species of pleurocarpous mosses distributed in 10 families and 22 genera and two species of cladocarpous mosses of the family Orthotrichaceae. The most species-rich families of pleurocarpous mosses were Sematophyllaceae (7 spp.), Pylaisiadelphaceae (6 spp.), and Stereophyllaceae (4 spp.). Eleven species are recorded for the first time from Maranhão and three species are recorded for the first time in the northeast region of Brazil. Taxithelium pluripunctatum (Renauld & Cardot) W.R. Buck and Trichosteleum glaziovii (Hampe) W.R. Buck, are recorded for the first time from Maranhão and the Cerrado phytogeographic domain. Our results expand the knowledge of the Brazilian bryoflora and add distribution data for a number of species in Maranhão and the northeast region.

Perception is inherently subjective, and individual differences in phenomenology are well illustrated by the phenomenon of synesthesia (highly specific, consistent, and automatic cross-modal experiences, in which the external stimulus corresponding to the additional sensation is absent). It is unknown why some people develop synesthesia and others do not. In the current study, we tested whether neural markers related to having synesthesia in the family were evident in brain function and structure. Relatives of synesthetes (who did not have any type of synesthesia themselves) and matched controls read specially prepared books with colored letters for several weeks and were scanned before and after reading using magnetic resonance imaging. Effects of acquired letter–color associations were evident in brain activation. Training-related activation (while viewing black letters) in the right angular gyrus of the parietal lobe was directly related to the strength of the learned letter–color associations (behavioral Stroop effect). Within this obtained angular gyrus ROI, the familial trait of synesthesia related to brain activation differences while participants viewed both black and colored letters. Finally, we compared brain structure using voxel-based morphometry and diffusion tensor imaging to test for group differences and training effects. One cluster in the left superior parietal lobe had significantly more coherent white matter in the relatives compared with controls. No evidence for experience-dependent plasticity was obtained. For the first time, we present evidence suggesting that the (nonsynesthete) relatives of grapheme–color synesthetes show atypical grapheme processing as well as increased brain connectivity.

Latin Term

The term vernacular referring to art and architecture was used for the first time in England in the middle of the nineteenth century. Numerous definitions have been created since the first Conference on Vernacular Architecture in Plovdiv in 1975. Still none of them defines the term utterly. Discrepancies in its interpretations could also be seen in attempts to translate the term coined in English and deriving from Latin. The right meaning of the term vernacular architecture shall be searched in its linguistics – etymology and semantics. In some works on vernacular architecture there are references to a word derivation - the primary Latin term verna. The word describes a slave born in a house of their master – well-known, familiar to all household members, trustworthy, close, but at the same time meaningless (faceless), withdrawn, ‘invisible’, someone who belongs in fact neither to the household nor to the family. One might say vernacular architecture does not look up to itself in the mirror; its attribute is self-unconsciousness. Architecture remains vernacular – anonymous, day-to-day, satisfying the most basic needs, becoming increasingly better with generations in models recognisable by their users – as long as it is not tempted by interpreting sophisticated, modern models of monumental architecture; as long as it does not compete to be distinctive. And maybe therefore in this regard it is architecture without an architect.

Abstract. Andreychev A. 2021. Short Communication: Proportion faunal assemblages of carnivorous mammals in geoecological districts of Mordovia, Russia. Biodiversitas 22: 4625-4632. In the forest-steppe area, carnivorous mammals are represented by species of different faunistic assemblages. This circumstance makes the study region a priority since the species of which faunistic assemblages prevail is of interest. Fifteen carnivorous species have been identified in the territory of Mordovia. Among them, the family Mustelidae predominates in terms of the number of species. The species are found in all geoecological districts, but their distribution is uneven. The most notable species in the region are located in coniferous and broad-leaved forests (40%) and species widely distributed in several natural areas (40%). 13% of the total number of noted species belong to the taiga fauna types. The steppe type of fauna is represented by only 7% of the total number of recorded species. For each geoecological region, the fauna features are given, and a list of rare and exciting species is given. The forest-steppe zone to which Mordovia belongs is compared by the fauna of carnivorous mammals with other regions from three typical faunal assemblages.

Floristic Structure

Ecological approach to the study of flora implies an integral flora unit called elementary flora (EF), which is usually regarded as the elementary unit of floristic division. Identification of the minimum-range of EF is prerequisite for the research of flora of any territory. The aim of this research is to identify the number of EF in the research area (floral patterns) by comparing the values of certain parameters of the family range of flora in four minimum-ranges. The basin of the river Sok is the research area. Its landscape zoning varies in different literature sources. Florae of the four minimum-range habitats are formed on territorial basis with reference to the existing floristic descriptions. The following parameters of the family range of flora in four minimum-ranges were used: establishment of the order of the first triad of families depending on number of species in a sample, percentage of monotypic families and percentage of species in the top ten families. The considered values of florae parameters in the sample areas corresponding to the minimum-range habitats show a certain degree of similarity. The largest differences were observed in the study of the formation of top three leading families, depending on the number of species. This indicator reflects the peculiarities of individual sample areas due to the variety of intra-landscape. The authors reach a conclusion concerning the conditional affiliation of the researched territory to one EF. The conclusion is based on the analyzed parameters of the family range of flora of all minimum-ranges as well as their floristic descriptions

The rediscovery of the supposedly lost type allows a revision of <i>Alpinites</i> Bogoslovskiy, 1971, the most advanced genus of the Posttornoceratidae. The type-species, Alp. <i>kayseri</i> Schindewolf, 1923, is so far only known from the Carnic Alps. <i>Alp. schultzei</i> n. sp. from the eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco is closely related to <i>Alp. kajraktensis</i> n. sp. (= <i>Alp. kayseri</i> in Bogoslovskiy 1971) from Kazakhstan. A second new and more common species of southern Morocco, <i>Alp. zigzag</i> n. sp., is also known from the Holy Cross Mountains (Poland). <br><br> The taxonomy and phylogeny of other Posttornoceratidae are discussed. The holotype of <i>Exotornoceras nehdense</i> (Lange, 1929) was recovered and is re-illustrated; it is conspecific with <i>Exot. superstes</i> (Wedekind, 1908). The genus and species is also here first recorded from Morocco. <i>Post. weyeri</i> Korn, 1999 is a subjective synonym of <i>Post. posthumum</i> (Wedekind, 1918) in which strongly biconvex growth lines, as typical for the family, are observed for the first time. <i>Goniatites lenticularis</i> Richter, 1848 is a nomen dubium within <i>Discoclymenia, Clymenia polytrichus</i> in Richter (1948) is a <i>Falcitornoceras</i>. It seems possible to distinguish an extreme thin and trochoid <i>Disco. haueri</i> (Münster, 1840) from the tegoid <i>Disco. cucullata</i> (v. Buch, 1839). <br><br> Various taxa are excluded from the Posttornoceratidae. <i>Posttornoceras sapiens</i> Korn, 1999 forms the type-species of <i>Maiderocera</i> n. gen., <i>Discoclymenia</i> n. sp. of Müller (1956) is assigned to <i>Maid. muelleri</i> n. sp. <i>Disco. cornwallensis</i> is the type-species of <i>Selwoodites</i> n.gen (Sporadoceratidae) which also occurs in the Rhenish Massive. <br><br> Durch Auffinden des verschollen geglaubten Typus-Exemplares wird eine Revision der Gattung <i>Alpinites</i> Bogoslovskiy, 1971, der höchst entwickelten Gattung der Posttornoceratidae, möglich.

Abstract Crabs of the family Pseudothelphusidae are restricted to the Neotropical region and new species are described every year. They are threatened by habitat loss and knowledge of this family is almost limited to taxonomy and faunal surveys. Here, we investigate the presence of heterochely and laterality in Kingsleya castrensis, as a tool to infer ecological and behavioural aspects. Since most Pseudothelphusidae were described from a few individuals only, some aspects of morphological variation, sexual dimorphism, heterochely and laterality are confirmed herein for the first time for a species of Kingsleya. The sizes of dactylus and propodus of males, as well as the allometric growth of both sides of the chelipeds, were significantly larger and higher, respectively, when compared to females. The right side was significantly longer than the left and both sexes displayed right-handedness. These results are similar to those from other freshwater crab families, and provide a clue to a possible aggressive, display, and territorial behaviour in K. castrensis.
