Рассмотрены результаты продолжавшихся несколько лет работ по детальному геоморфологическому картографированию участка заповедника «Курильский», остров Кунашир, Большая Курильская гряда. Слабо изученная и труднодоступная территория обследована с применением методов полевых геоморфологических исследований и полевых методов дешифрирования космических снимков. В результате этой работы собран обширный полевой материал о рельефе южной части острова Кунашир, который проанализирован и обобщён в форме серии крупномасштабных геоморфологических карт. Ранее на рассматриваемую территорию карты такого масштаба и такой тематики не создавались

The paper deals with compilation of a large-scale soil map for the site of “Kurilsky” nature reserve, located in the southern part of Kunashir island, the Greater Kuril ridge. The islands make a remote and poorly studied area, and the soil is one of the least examined components of the local geosystems. The zonal soils here are cambisoil, but the variety of soil-forming processes characteristic of the island provides a comparative diversity of the cover. Modern volcanism affects the formation process significantly, although its role is sometimes overestimated. The study is based on field surveys performed in the considered area in 2014–2019, during which descriptions of soils were compiled according to standard methods. The map was compiled using a multispectral image of high spatial resolution from the Pleiades-1B satellite and topographic maps. Thus, the abundance of soils from different levels and divisions does not make a significant effect on the general heterogeneity of the territory soil cover due to the small area of intrazonal soils.

First Time

We compiled a list of the ground beetles that have been confirmed to occur to date in the southern Kuril Islands, Russian Far East. The list includes 168 species, all of which are known from Kunashir Island and the species richness on the remaining islands ranges from 68 (Shikotan Island) to 21 species (Tanfil'eva Island). The species richness is shown to depend sublinearly on island area, this being unusual for island faunas (Triantis et al. 2011). A large part of data is published here for the first time on the records of ground beetles in the southern Kuril Islands with precise localities. This allows not only the taxonomic composition of the faunas, but also the composition of local faunas to be discussed.

Far Eastern

The study of 23 excrements of Far Eastern skinks collected on the Kunashir Island revealed 75 species of invertebrates that served for the skinks as a food source. Coleopteran (41 taxa from 14 families) were most diverse, which is explained by the good preservation of chitin of beetles during passage through the digestive tract of lizards. The crickets Dianemobius fascipes nigrofasciatus (Matsumura, 1904) (96 specimens), caddisflies (Trichoptera indet. 2, 36 specimens), and barkflies (Psocoptera indet., 19 specimens) prevailed in number of identified specimens in the samples.

The valve morphology of a form identified as Stephanodiscus niagarae from diatomites of Kunashir Island has been studied. Variability of the main diagnostic features has been determined, namely the valve diameter and the mantle height, the number of striae and areolae in 10 μm, structure and location of processes with satellite pores on the valve face and its mantle, structure and location of rimoportulae. It is shown that the Kunashir form differs from the type of S. niagarae in location of fultoportulae that gives us grounds for description of a new variety of Stephanodiscus niagarae, var. puzanoviana.
