Information on the Sphagnum mosses of the South Ossetia is generalized, the resulted list is presented. Nine species of Sphagnum are included in the list, whereabouts data and references to the publications are given, and the presence of a sample in the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute RAS (LE) is noted. The species Sphagnum platyphyllum (Lindb. ex Braithw.) Warnst. rarely occurring in the Caucasus is reported in the South Ossetia for the first time. The species was found in the Caucasus, South Ossetia, at the side of the Ertso Lake (42°28ʹN, 43°45ʹE), 1720 m a. s. l., among sedge thickets at the margin of the overgrowing lake. The peculiarities of its occurrence and ecological conditions are considered. Its distribution in the Caucasus and in the world is discussed.

Revision of moss collections from South Ossetia earlier known only from an unpublished thesis by I. I. Abramov and kept in the Herbarium of Komarov Botanical Institute (LE) resulted in confirmation of records of Amphidium mougeotii, Bryum algovicum, Crossidium squamiferum, Crossidium squamiferum var. pottioideum, Fissidens bryoides, F. gracilifolius, Homalia trichomanoides, Hygrohypnum luridum, Orthotrichum alpestre, O. cupulatum, O. vladikavkanum, Oxyrrhynchium schleicheri, Pterygoneurum ovatum, Schistidium flaccidum, Ulota crispa. Two species (Cinclidotus fontinaloides and Polytrichastrum sexangulare) were not found among the herbarium specimens. Identifications of Encalypta spathulata, Leucobryum glaucum and Pseudoleskeella catenulata are based on materials of other species. Cynodontium fallax, Encalypta pilifera and Leucobryum juniperoideum are recorded for the first time in South Ossetia.

Ameiridae Monard, 1927 was previously known from Korea only after one endemic and four cosmopolitan species of the genus Nitokra Boeck, 1865, and a single widely distributed species of the genus Ameira Boeck, 1865, all from brackish enviroments. After a survey of 22 sampling sites and close to 3,500 harpacticoid specimens from various marine enviroments, we report on two new endemic species of Ameira, A. zahaae sp. nov. and A. kimchi sp. nov., from the West Sea and the South Sea respectively. They are both relatively closely related to the previously recorded cosmopolitan A. parvula (Claus, 1866), but show many novel morphological structures in the caudal rami shape and ornamentation. The identity of the cosmopolitan A. parvula in Korea is questioned, and an alternative hypothesis of a species-complex proposed. The fine ornamentation of body somites (especially the pores/sensilla pattern) is studied in detail, and proves to be a very useful new morphological tool in distinguishing closely related spacies in this genus. The genus Pseudameira Sars, 1911 is reported for the first time in Korea, after four females of P. mago sp. nov. from the South Sea. A single damaged female of Proameira cf. simplex (Norman & Scott, 1905) represents the first record of the genus Proameira Lang, 1944 in Korea, Asia, and anywhere in the Pacific. A key to Korean ameirids is also provided, and their apparent rarity in this part of the world noticed.

Observation Results

Bombus pomorum (Panzer, 1805) is known from Europe, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and to the Urals in Russia.  Two specimens have been collected in the south of western Siberia for the first time.  It is possible that the species is indigenous to Siberia but was not discovered until regular observations were made.  There is also a possibility that this observation results from an expansion of the range of B. pomorum.  We consider the evidence that our study coincided with a range expansion of the bumblebee species B. pomorum and B. sylvarum (Linnaeus,1761) near the end of 20th century.  The distribution and abundance of B. pomorum in Russia and conservation efforts are also discussed.

Existed since the late 60-ies of the last century, Laboratory of vegetation of the arid zone V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1993 was transformed into a Laboratory of vegetation of the steppe zone of geopolitical change led to the fact that the arid lands presents now in our country is mainly steppes. Since then 10 years have passed, it is already possible to draw some conclusions. As a result of human activities, the steppe, like most grassy biomes arid regions of the world, almost completely destroyed, and the remaining vegetation is degraded. In this regard, one of the goals of this Laboratory is to determine (primarily in the European part of the country, subjected to the most heavy anthropogenic load), where fragments of steppes and what is their condition.

Lectotypes of twelve names of Fungi published by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg from Adelbert von Chamisso’s collection (Auricularia cornea, Agaricus copulatus, Boletus katui, B. sector, Hypochnus nigrocinctus, Hysterium gracile, H. orbiculare, Naemaspora tularostoma, Sphaeria eschscholtzii, S. fur, S. profuga, Triblidium arcticum) are designated. It was thought that fungal collection made by Chamisso during the voyage around the world on board the Russian brig «Rurik» (1815–1818) had been lost, but many of his samples of fungi were re-discovered in 2013 in the Mycological Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute (St. Petersburg, LE) including original material of ten Ehrenberg’s taxa. For Hypochnus rubrocinctus which was lectotypified earlier by Aptroot et al. (2009) the additional type material kept in the Lichenological Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute (LE) is cited. It is supposed that original collections of Campsotrichum unicolor and Thamnomyces chamissonis may be kept in Fries herbarium (UPS).

Abstract The Icelandic horse is one of the purest horse breeds in the world, reaching an average 140 cm (13.3 hh) height at the withers and weighing 340 kg. The conformation is rectangular and compact, with a sloping croup, and a long, thick mane and tail. The breed is most known and appreciated for the lateral gaits tölt and pace, which it has in addition to the basic gaits (walk, trot and canter/gallop). The breed is found in more than 30 countries, with more Icelandic horses abroad (ca. 175,000) than in Iceland (ca. 65,000). There is one international studbook, WorldFengur, with breeding associations in 21 countries and a common breed evaluation system. Following mechanization in Iceland around 1950, the role of the Icelandic horse changed from being 'the most useful servant' to that of a leisure and sport horse. Also in 1950, Landsmót - the largest outdoor sporting event for the Icelandic horse in Iceland - was held for the first time. It was then repeated every four years until 1998 and biennially after that. Landsmót has been held 23 times in total, at seven different locations in the south and north of Iceland, lasting for 3-8 days in the high summer period. The event has expanded over time with an increasing number of horses, riders and competition disciplines. This chapter introduces the disciplines, qualification of horses and riders and facilities required for Landsmót.
