Aim.  To  study  the  species  composition,  form  diversity,  bioecological  features of summer‐ flowering trees and shrubs in green spaces of the  south‐eastern coast of the Crimea and suggest ways to expand the range.  Materials and Methods. The green spaces of Feodosia, Sudak and the  localities of Semidvorye, Solnechnogorskoye, Malorechenskoye, Rybachye,  Morskoye,  Novy  Svet,  Solnechnaya  Dolina,  Shchebetovka,  Kurortnoye,  Koktebel and Primorskiy were investigated. Bioecological and phenological  studies of ornamental trees and shrubs were undertaken according to  generally accepted methods.  Results. The species composition and shape diversity of summer‐flowering  trees and shrubs in green plantings of Crimea’s south‐eastern coast were  identified. It was found that summer‐ flowering plants make up almost half  of the species composition (48.6%) used in landscaping. However, only 23  species are widespread throughout the region, such as Ailanthus altissima  (Mill.) Swingle, Albizia julibrissin Durazz., Buddleja davidii Franch., Campsis  radicans (L.) Seem., Elaeagnus angustifolia L. etc. The greatest number of  species and forms of arboreal plants bloom in early summer, their number  decreasing significantly from the second decade of June.  Conclusion. An assortment is proposed for increasing the number of trees  and shrubs which flower during the summer, taking into account both their  decorative visual appeal and their environmental requirements, especially  drought and frost resistance. Of great interest are species that bloom from  June onwards, especially those which are highly decorative and have a long  flowering period, such as Albizia julibrissin, Buddleja davidi and forms,  Hydrangea arborescens L., Campsis radicans, Kerria japonica f. plena C.K.  Schneid, Robinia viscosа Vent., Vitex angus‐castus L.

The South-East Coast of the Crimea has been developing as recreational region. Green planting is one of the factors that improve its recreational attraction. So it is important to study cultivated here arboreal trees and shrubs for perfection their assortment for landscape gardening. We analyzed taxonomy and biomorphological structure, botanicgeographical origin of dendroflora, the history of introduction, and the present state of cultivated arboreal plants. At present cultivated dendroflora totals 229 species belonging to 107 genus of 27 families. Magnoliophyta occupies 86,0 % of species diversity and the leading role among them belongs to Rosaceae (27,4 %), Oleaceae (6,6%), Leguminosae (5,6%). Pinophyta occupies 14,0 % of species diversity and the leading role belongs to Cupressaceae (50,0 %). Species of Mediterranean flora dominate (31,4 %). The most of them are well adapted to local climatic and soil conditions and provide “Mediterranean” appearance to cultural landscapes. More than a half (62,9 %) of the species diversity are deciduous trees (38,4 %) and shrubs (24,5 %). The proportion of evergreen plants is lower: coniferous trees – 13,5 %, and evergreen shrubs – 13,1 %. Selecting assortment of ornamental arboreal trees and shrubs should correspond to their ability to withstand summer drought and winter low temperatures.

Situated off the south-eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, the Republic of Mauritius is an island nation of 2,040 square kilometres (km) with a population of 1.26 million. English is generally accepted as the official language as it is used by the administration and the courts. French is also widely spoken among the population, and most inhabitants are bilingual. Local languages include Créole and Bhojpuri. The working week on the island is from Monday to Friday and the Mauritian rupee (MUR) is the currency used.

AbstractUrbanization and intense vessel traffic in coastal areas are obstacles for right whales when selecting breeding and calving grounds. Human activities might be the main cause for the recently observed drop in right whale sightings along the south-eastern coast of Brazil. Information concerning the biology and the activities that can potentially affect the presence of individuals along the coast are essential for management purposes, as well as for the recovery of the species stocks after a period of whaling pressure. This study correlated the occurrence of right whales in the northern limit of the breeding ground in the South-western Atlantic Ocean with local geomorphology, degree of urbanization and oceanographic features to better identify suitable areas for use by these whales. The study area was divided into 14 sub-areas based on local coastal geomorphology and discharge of large rivers. The following five ranking criteria were applied to each sub-area: presence of whaling stations and whaling activity in the past; presence and activity of ports; protection from swell, coastal slope and composition of the bottom substrate. The sub-areas that offered conditions conducive to the presence of right whales received higher scores. The proposed criteria were validated by overlapping the ranking scores with the records of right whales sighted in each sub-area. In south-eastern Brazil, protected areas with sandy bottom and gentle slope were associated with more sightings of female-calf pairs. The criteria can be used as a primary diagnostic indicating suitable sub-areas for right whales in poorly known breeding grounds.

This study provides information on the community structure of brachyuran crabs associated with the green sponge, Amphimedon viridis Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864, from a beach on the south-eastern coast of Brazil. Monthly collections from May 2002 through August 2003 were carried out on the rocky bottoms off Itaguá Beach (23°27′07″S 45°02′49″W). Crabs on the green sponge banks were hand-caught during snorkelling sessions, and 638 crabs belonging to 31 species, 19 genera, and 10 families were obtained. Biological parameters, including sponge volume, number of individuals, density, richness, diversity, evenness, and dominance changed considerably over time. Species recruitment and foraging habit are some of the factors that drive the richness, dominance, and diversity patterns of this community. The green sponge banks are important sites for recruitment, refuge, and feeding of many species of brachyurans. Therefore, they are also important for the conservation of this group on the south-eastern coast of Brazil.

In this article we try to determine the internal and external cladistics of the four Bantu varieties in the Comoros archipelago. With internal cladistics we mean their mutual classification. Conventionally they are divided into two groups: the Eastern group composed of Shindzwani and Shimaore and the Western group composed of Shimwali and Shingazidja, our results point to a rather different classification.With external cladistics we mean the phylogenetic position of the Comorian languages with respect to the Sabaki and Makhuwa languages spoken along the South-Eastern coast of Africa. During the years consensus has been reached that Comorian Bantu languages belong to the Sabaki group, but they are different from Swahili, our findings confirm this conclusion.
