The Chingandzha flora comes from the volcanic-sedimentary deposits of the Chingandzha Formation (the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt, North-East of Russia). The main localities of the Chingandzha flora are situated in the Omsukchan district of the Magadan Region: on the Tap River (basin of the middle course of the Viliga River), on the Kananyga River, near the mouth of the Rond Creek, and in the middle reaches of the Chingandzha River (basin of the Tumany River). The Chingandzha flora includes 23 genera and 33 species. Two new species (Taxodium viligense Golovn. and Cupressinocladus shelikhovii Golovn.) are described, and two new combinations (Arctopteris ochotica (Samyl.) Golovn. and Dalembia kryshtofovichii (Samyl.) Golovn.) are created. The Chingandzha flora consists of liverworts, horsetails, ferns, seed ferns, ginkgoaleans, conifers, and angiosperms. The main genera are Arctop teris, Osmunda, Coniopteris, Cladophlebis, Ginkgo, Sagenoptepis, Sequoia, Taxodium, Metasequoia, Cupressinocladus, Protophyllocladus, Pseudoprotophyllum, Trochodendroides, Dalembia, Menispermites, Araliaephyllum, Quereuxia. The Chingandzha flora is distinct from other floras of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt (OCVB) in predominance of flowering plants and in absence of the Early Cretaceous relicts such as Podozamites, Phoenicopsis and cycadophytes. According to its systematic composition and palaeoecological features, the Chingandzha flora is similar to the Coniacian Kaivayam and Tylpegyrgynay floras of the North-East of Russia, which were distributed at coastal lowlands east of the mountain ridges of the OCVB. Therefore, the age of the Chingandzha flora is determined as the Coniacian. This flora is assigned to the Kaivayam phase of the flora evolution and to the Anadyr Province of the Siberian-Canadian floristic realm. The Chingandzha flora is correlated with the Coniacian Aleeky flora from the Viliga-Tumany interfluve area and with other Coniacian floras of the OCVB: the Chaun flora of the Central Chukotka, the Kholchan flora of the Magadan Region and the Ul’ya flora of the Ul’ya Depression.

Systematic Composition

The analysis of the distribution of plant remains in deposits of the Aigur and Toptan formations (Omsukchan district of the Magadan Region) showed that the main part of the species that were included in the Toptan stratoflora (Samylina, 1976), in fact come from the Aigur Formation. Floristic assemblages of the Aigur and Toptan formations are very similar in systematic composition. Increasing the diversity of flowering plants and reduction of typical Cretaceous taxa (cycadophytes and Ginkgoales was not indicated on the boundary between these formation. Thus, there is no evidence of significant changes in the floristic composition at this stratigraphic level and the existence of independent Toptanian stage in the evolution of the mid-Cretaceous flora of the North-East of Russia. Floristic assemblages from the Galimyi, Aigur and Toptan formations are proposed to be merged into a single Sugoi flora, which should be attributed to the Buor-Kemus stage of floral development (lower-middle Albian). The description of the lectostratotype of the Toptan Formation is first published and distribution of this formation is illustrated.

Systematic Composition

Abstract The Ul’ya flora comes from the Amka Formation of the Ul’ya Depression, located in the Okhotsk–Chukotka volcanic belt (North-East Russia). This flora includes ~50 species, among which conifers predominate. Ferns and angiosperms are also diverse. The Ul’ya flora is characterized by high endemism and by the presence of numerous Early Cretaceous relicts (Hausmannia, Podozamites, Phoenicopsis, Baiera, Sphenobaiera). Four new endemic species of conifers from the Ul’ya flora are described: Elatocladus amkensis Golovneva, sp. nov., Araucarites sheikashoviae Golovneva, sp. nov., Elatocladus gyrbykensis Golovneva, sp. nov. and Pagiophyllum umitbaevii Golovneva, sp. nov. Two-lobed leaves of Sphenobaiera are assigned to S. biloba Prynada based on their epidermal structure. Because of its systematic composition the Ul’ya flora is correlated with the Coniacian Chaun flora of Central Chukotka, with the Coniacian Aliki flora from the Viliga–Tumany interfluve area, and with the Coniacian Kholchan flora of the Magadan Region. The U-Pb age of zircon (ID-TIMS method) from plant-bearing tuffites within the Amka Formation at the Uenma River is 86.1 ± 0.3 Ma. Thus, Coniacian age (most likely the end of the Coniacian, near the Coniacian/Santonian boundary) is assigned to the Ul’ya flora and plant-bearing pyroclastic deposits of the Amka Formation on the basis of paleobotanical and isotopic data.

The article continues the author's research on the toponymy of the North-East of the Sakha Republic, in particular the Kolyma river basin, in the aspect of the interaction of related and unrelated languages. The relevance of this work is defined in the description of local geographical terminology of Yukagir origin, as a valuable and important material in the further study of toponymy of the region. For the first time, the toponymy of the Kolyma river basin becomes the object of sampling and linguistic analysis of toponyms with local geographical terms of Yukagir origin in order to identify and analyze them linguistically. The research was carried out by comparative method, word formation, structural, lexical and semantic analysis. As a result of the research, phonetic and morphological features are revealed, the formation of local geographical terms and geographical names of Yukagir origin is outlined, and previously unrecorded semantic shifts and dialectisms are revealed. The most active in the formation of terms and toponyms is the geographical term iилil / eҕal 'coast‘, which is justified by the representation of the Yukagirs’ coast' home, housing

The Impact

Natural and climatic conditions of the environment of Northeast Russia and particularly Magadan region are the very factor mostly influencing adaptive responses by individuals inhabiting the region. Compensatory and adaptive responses in indigenes and newcomers of the region can be assumed to have their specific features. In 2009 there was executed the examination of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and gas exchange in 392 cases aged of 17-19 years, including Europeans (Caucasians) born in the North in the 1st-2nd generation and indigenes. The methodologically similar study was carried out in 2014 in 265 persons, referred to the same cohorts of North-born Caucasians and Indigenes from the Magadan region. The results of the study executed in 2009 testified to a small number of physiological parameters that were reliably different in Caucasians vs. Indigene subjects. In 2014 no difference was found between the two examined cohorts throughout the observed parameters. The revealed changes in gas exchange, external respiration and cardiovascular systems demonstrated by modern young Indigenes of Northeast Russia testified to the fall in the effectiveness of their breathing. All that makes them farther from the classic “polar metabolic type” and their morphofunctional status becomes closer to European male subjects of Northeast Russia. Thus, we can observe a clear tendency towards “convergence in programs” of the adaptive changes between populations of the North residents undergoing similar natural, environmental and social factors.

AbstractAntechiniella septentrionalis n. sp. (Spirurida: Acuariidae) is described from the duodenum of a tundra vole, Microtus oeconomus (Pallas), collected in the Magadan region in the north-east part of Russia. It differs from A. suffodiax (Beveridge & Barker, 1975) and A. sertatum Smales, 1991 mainly in having a larger number of postcloacal papillae (5–6 pairs vs 4 pairs), a differently shaped left spicule, the disposition of precloacal papillae in two rows vs one, and oblong vs oval eggs. Other differences include the different disposition of ovaries in A. septentrionalis n. sp and A. suffodiax and the different structure of deirids in A. septentrionalis n. sp. and A. sertatum. The new species was characterized molecularly (partial sequences for 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA and cox1 mtDNA). The phylogenetic analyses performed showed the affinity of the new species to the members of the Acuariidae and other spirurid nematodes.

Systematic Composition

New investigation of fossil plants from volcanic-sedimentary deposits of the Amka Formation in Ulya River basin (southern part of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanogenic belt, Northeastern Russia) shows, that the Arinda, Uenma, Ust-Amka and Gyrbykan floristic assemblages from diff erent localities of this formation have very close systematic composition. We propose to joint these assemblages in the single regional flora, which is named the Ulya flora. The Ulya flora consists of almost 40 species. The majority of them are represented by new undescribed taxa. In this flora gymnosperms (Phoenicopsis ex gr. speciosa Heer, Ginkgo ex gr. adiantoides (Ung.) Heer, G. ex gr. sibirica Heer, Sphenobaiera sp., Podozamites sp., Elatocladus spp., Araucarites sp., Sequoia sp., Metasequoia sp., Cupressinocladus sp., Ditaxocladus sp., Pityophyllum sp., Pityostrobus sp.) predominate. Ferns (Asplenium dicksonianum Heer, Arctopteris sp., Cladophlebis spp. and several undescribed taxa) and angiosperms (Trochodendroides spp., undetermined Platanaceae, Dicotylophyllum spp., Quereuxia angulate (Newb.) Krysht. ex Baik.) are not abundant. This flora is characterized by presence of the Early Cretaceous relicts (Phoenicopsis, Sphenobaiera and Podozamites), by rarity of angiosperms and by high endemism. On the base of comparison of the Ulya flora with other floras from middle and northern parts of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanogenic belt, the age of the Ulya flora is estimated as the Coniacian.

A revision of Sphenobaiera biloba Prynada from Northeastern Asia is based on restudy of the type material from the Zyryanka River Basin (Prynada’s collection), as well as additional specimens from the type locality (Samylina’s collection) and collections from the Ul’ya and Anadyr rivers. A new extended diagnosis of S. biloba based on the leaf morphology and epidermal structure is proposed. Geographic and stratigraphic distribution of this species in Northern Asia is discussed. S. bilobais known in the Aptian of Eastern Siberia (Lena River Basin) and from the early-middle Albian to Coniacian of northeastern Russia. In the Late Cretaceous this species was considered as relict and related with volcanogenic deposits of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt.

Age of its formation nearly coincides with the occurrence of the Cretaceous geomagnetic superchron of normal polarity. Thus, the volcanic formations of the OChVB represent a promising object to study the characteristics of the geomagnetic field during the Cretaceous superchron (direction, paleointensity, secular variations) needed to test various models explaining superchrons’s existence .</span></p> <p class="db9fe9049761426654245bb2dd862eecMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">During the reconnaissance field work of the summer 2019 we have sampled volcanic rocks in 9 sections each includes from 8 to 30 sites corresponding either to lava flow or to tuff layers.</span></p> <p class="db9fe9049761426654245bb2dd862eecMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Up to date we have carried out AF demagnetization, petromagnetic and AMS studies.
