The flora of small non-flowing lakes of the Narach lake group located on the territory of the Narachanski National Park (Belarus, Minsk region, Myadelsky district) was studied. The taxonomic composition of the flora numbering 126 species of vascular plants belonging to 85 genera from 42 families was revealed. Three plant species which are included in the list of protected taxa in Belarus were found – Liparis loeselii (L.) Rich. (Lake Shestakovo), Aldrovanda vesiculosa L. (Lake Shestakovo) and Isoëtes lacustris L. (Lake Beloe). Based on the annotated list of species presented in the work, taxonomic, geographical, ecological-coenotic and ecobiomorphological analyzes of the flora of water bodies were performed. According to the taxonomic and environmental structure, the flora of the studied lakes is shown to be traditional for this territory. The differences in the flora of the studied lakes are mainly due to their trophic status and, to a lesser extent, due to the diversity of biotopes and the nature of the anthropogenic load. Information on the nature of overgrowing of these water bodies is provided.


The long-term floristic research in the City of Kharkiv, as well as analysis of the literature data and CWU herbarium materials recorded 95 species, 65 genera and 38 families of plants in the present water and wetland flora of the city. Of these, 18 species occur in the water bodies, and 77 species in the wetlands. An annotated list of the water and wetland flora is compiled. All species are provided with the data on their distribution within the city, habitat conditions, types of geographic range and conservation status. Geographical analysis revealed the general correspondence of the city flora to the typical flora of the region. The city flora is represented by the groups of species with five regional types; the Circumpolar (35 species, 36.8 %) and the Eurasian (26 species, 27.3 %) types are the most speciose. In terms of conservation importance, 15 recorded species require protection ‒ two species of water vascular plants and 13 species of wetlands. Of these, four species are listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (Anacamptis coriophora, Anacamptis palustris, Dactylorchiza majalis, Epipactis palustris); seven species are in the list of plants that require special protection in the Kharkiv Region (Carex pseudocyperus, Nuphar luteum, Parnassia palustris, Ranunculus circinatum, Typha laxmannii, Valeriana officinalis, Vallisneria spiralis); three species are listed in Annex II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES II) (Anacamptis coriophora, Anacamptis palustris, Epipactis palustris); one species (Epipactis palustris) is in the list of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); and two species are in the Red List of Macrophytes (Nuphar lutea and Glyceria arundinacea). One species is also a member of а plant association listed in the Green Data Book of Ukraine, and two species are the members of vegetation groups in the Green List of Kharkiv Region. Five invasive species were found in the city flora: three water species (Pistia stratiotes, Vallisneria spiralis, Elodea canadensis) and two wetland species (Echinocistis lobata and Bidens frondosa).


When studying the biological diversity of the fauna of any territory and, in particular, the territory of a national nature park as a protected area, first of all, it is necessary to conduct an inventory of its individual components, as well as to prepare and publish summary reports. One of the important components of the entomofauna of any biotope or geographic region is Aculeata. When designing and creating the national nature park “Dvorichanskyi”, this group was not studied at all. Systematic studies of Aculeata were started by us in 2015. Traditional entomological methods of individual capture and Mörike traps were used for the studies. Studies were conducted on sandy wastelands with sparse vegetation, edges of pine and deciduous forests on the river Oskil terrace, steppe areas of limestone slopes, and in human settlements. The purpose of the study was an inventory of the family Scoliidae in the specified area. In general, 10 species of Scoliidae are known for Ukraine, and 9 for its continental part. The publication presents the results of our field studies on the territory of the national nature park “Dvorichanskyi” in 2015–2018 as an annotated list of six species of Scoliidae (Colpa (Colpa) sexmaculata (Fabricius, 1781), Colpa (Heterelis) quinquecincta (Fabricius, 1793), Megascolia (Regiscolia) maculata (Drury, 1773), Scolia (Discolia) hirta (Schrank, 1781), Scolia (Scolia) galbula (Pallas, 1771), Scolia (Scolia) sexmaculata (O.F.Müller, 1766)) from three genera (Colpa Dufour, 1841; Megascolia Betrem, 1928; Scolia Fabricius, 1775). One species, Megascolia maculata, is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine (2009) with the status “non-evaluated”. The list contains geographical data of research sites, information on biotope, and preliminary information on species abundance. The list is based on the author’s own specimens and observations. Literature sources and collections of the Museum of Nature of the Vasyl Karazin Kharkiv National University were studied. A brief history of studies of the modern territory of Kharkov region by scientists of the XIX century P.V.Ivanov, N.F.Beletsky, and V.A.Yaroshevsky is outlined.

The farming system in West Bengal is being shifted by integration between the set of cash crops and the main food harvest process. This change in diversified farming systems, where smallholders have a production base in rice can complement production; affect technical efficiency and farm performance. The goal of this study was to investigate the status of crop diversification on smallholders in West Bengal. First, crop diversification regions were developed in West Bengal based on the Herfindahl index, which were categorized into three regions. Three sample districts were studied separately at the block level, and 915 small farmers from 41 sample villages of 9 sample blocks were interviewed through a good structure questionnaire for field studies from the sample districts. West Bengal was gradually moving towards multiple crop production. Furthermore, increasing rice production reduced the marginal use of inputs for the production of other crops. Farming and other vital factors such as HYVs area to GCA, average holding size and per capita income in some districts of West Bengal can be identified as determinants of crop diversification.

The aim of the work is to supplement and clarify the annotated list of vascular plants of “Castel” nature reserve on the Southern coast of the Crimea. Methods. The work is based on the results of long standing field research, which was carried out by the traditional route-reconnaissance method, analysis of YALT herbarium materials and data from literary and Internet sources. Arealogical and biomorphological characteristics of species are given according to "Biological Flora of the Crimea" by V.N. Golubev, biotope coding according to EUNIS habitat classification. The nomenclature of taxa corresponds to the " Spontaneuos flora of the Crimean peninsula" by A.V. Yena and to international databases Euro+Med PlantBase, The Plant List, Catalog of Life. Results. An additional annotated list of vascular plants of “Castel” nature reserve has been compiled, including 152 species, subspecies and cultivars from 97 genera of 38 families, of which 53 genera and 11 families have also not been cited for this territory before. Arealogical, biomorphological, biotopic and sozological characteristics of the taxa are given. As a result of a critical analysis of the list previously published by E.S. Krainyuk, four species were redefined, two species were proposed to be excluded from the flora of the specially protected natural area, several taxa are considered doubtful. Conclusions. The list of vascular plant taxa in “Castel” nature reserve has been supplemented with 11 families, 53 genera, and 152 species, subspecies, and cultivars; several species from the previously compiled list have been proposed to be excluded or considered doubtful. Thus, the flora of the protected area includes at least 425 species from 68 families. For the first time, the biotopic characteristic of the flora of the reserve was established.

As a result of the field studies, analysis of publications and herbarium materials, it has been established that by now the alien flora of the Republic of Khakassia includes about 140 species of vascular plants. Of this number, more than 30 species are invasive plants included in the “Black Book of Flora of Siberia” (2016). In recent years, there has been both a fairly rapid replenishment of the flora with alien plants and a noticeable dispersal of a number of invasive species across the territory of Khakassia. For the purpose of monitoring alien plant species, we use the capabilities of the international scientific network iNaturalist.org.

The primary overall objective of inventorying the macrofungi growing in and around Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks was partially achieved with the published checklist (McKnight 1982) and additions from the 1982 Research Center Annual Report (McKnight, Harper, & McKnight 1984). The intensive collecting of the 1982 fruiting season including a 12-week phenological study at 11 selected sites left many species unidentified and numerous others observed but not collected, or with inadequately annotated collections made. Litter and soil moisture data for the 11 study stands are also given in the 1982 annual report cited above, as well as data on 15 overstory and understory vegetation and soil parameters. Field studies in the Parks during the summer of 1983 concentrated on (1) identification of chlorophyllous and vascular plants at the 11 sites selected for concentrated study in 1982; (2) quantitative estimates of chlorophyllous plant cover and height; (3) estimates of site quality; (4) collections of composite soil samples; and (5) additional records of macrofungi for the Parks with supporting data in the form of photographs, drawings, and annotations.

Responses to chemical and physical stressors are commonly expected among organisms residing near the Athabasca oil sands. Physiological effects have been observed in fishes during field studies; but further effects associated with development are not clear or consistent among species. For instance, data from a fish fence in 2009 show declines in the relative abundances of some species, including Arctic grayling ( Thymallus arcticus). In contrast, increases were seen in white sucker ( Catostomus commersoni). This divergence suggests incomplete understanding of the status of fishes residing near the oil sands. However, an important challenge limiting understanding is the lack of reliable baseline or reference data. To overcome this challenge, we used iterative normal ranges and a historical data set (electrofishing surveys done from 1987 to 2014) to determine if changes have occurred in fishes captured in the lower Athabasca River. These analyses revealed clear increases in the lengths of white sucker and walleye ( Sander vitreus) and their relative abundances during the spawning season. The occurrence of these changes may be associated with overwintering location, but reduced fishing pressure in Lake Athabasca, eutrophication, or a cumulative effect may explain the form of changes detected in this study.
