Abstract In different types of substrate (soil, litter, lichens and mosses) collected at three memorial complexes (cemeteries) of Kyiv (Ukraine), 70 species from 57 genera, 34 families of oribatid mites were found. A few eurytopic species capable of tolerance to different types of pollution make up an essential part in each species complex. The species diversity and complexity of oribatid community structure at researched areas increased with distance from the city center. There was no direct relation between the degree of dominance of most common species and the cemetery’s relative remoteness from the center of the city.

Species diversity, dominance and abundance of the phytoplankton community of the Ranjit Sager Wetland were studied during June, 2012 to May, 2014 on monthly basis. The main aim was to provide information about overall phytoplankton diversity of this wetland. Phytoplankton samples were collected using phytoplankton net and preserved in 5% formaldehyde solution on the spot, then brought to the laboratory for further analysis. Algae belonging to Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Bacillariophyceae were recorded. The Bacillariophyceae was the most dominant group followed by the Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae. A total of 26 genera were recorded, 12 were belonged to Bacillariophyceae, 11 to Chlorophyceae and 3 to Cyanophyceae. The different types of indices such as Margalef’s index, Simpson index, Shannon-Weaver index and species evenness index were employed to analysis the data. Phytoplankton converts light energy to chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis so they act as primary producers and food for variety of aquatic organisms. Phytoplankton are also act as efficient bio-indicators to measure quality of water.

Drought periods have an adverse impact on the condition of oak stands. Research on different types of ecosystems has confirmed a correlation between plant species diversity and the adverse effects of droughts. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes which occurred in an oak stand (Krotoszyn Plateau, Poland) under the impact of the summer drought in 2015. We used a method based on remote sensing indices from satellite images in order to detect changes in the vegetation in 2014 and 2015. A positive difference was interpreted as an improvement, whereas a negative one was treated as a deterioration of the stand condition. The Shannon-Wiener species diversity was estimated using an iterative PCA algorithm based on aerial images. We observed a relationship between the species indices of the individual forest divisions and their response to drought. The highest correlation between the index differences and the Shannon-Wiener indices was found for the GNDVI index (+0.74). In addition, correlations were observed between the mean index difference and the percentage shares in the forest divisions of species such as Pinus sylvestris (+0.67 ± 0.08) and Quercus robur (-0.65 ± 0.10). Our results lead us to infer that forest management based on highly diverse habitats is more suitable to meet the challenges in the context of global climatic changes, characterized by increasingly frequent droughts.

The data on the species diversity of representatives of the genus Teilingia Bourrelly are summarized. from the water bodies of Western Siberia, their distribution by zones and subzones. To date, 4 species and intraspecific taxa from the order Desmidiales are known for the region. Representatives of this family are found mosaically throughout the entire territory of Western Siberia. The largest number of taxa (3) was found in the middle taiga, in the tundra – two species. No species were found in the Irtysh floodplain, forest tundra, northern taiga, forest-steppe and steppe zones. In watercourses, including the Ob and Irtysh, as well as in lakes of different types, 3 taxa were identified, respectively. One species was found in swamps and in temporary reservoirs.

Nematodes are microscopic worms belonging to the soil biota with high species diversity. Nematodes have different compositions in different types of soil and areas. This research is conduct to determine the presence and genus of soil nematodes found in mustard plantations in Landasan Ulin Utara Village, Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan. Soil samples are taken from community vegetable plantations with a depth of 0-20 cm around the mustard plant rhizosphere located in ??Jalan Kurnia and Jalan Sukamara, Landasan Ulin Utara Village, Banjarbaru. Extraction to separate nematodes from soil using the Whitehead & Hemming method (1965) and nematode fixation using the Seinhorst method (1959). Furthermore, the permanent nematode preparations were made for the identification stage by morphological observations and morphometric measurements. The identification results showed that the genera of nematodes found in the study site's soil samples were Iotonchus, Crustorhabditis, Ironus, and Xiphinema.

Fish Species Diversity

Fish species, fishing gear and crafts in the most polluted river Buriganga were inventorial. During December, 2012 to November, 2013, a total of 56 fish species belonging to 20 families and 9 orders were recorded. Cypriniformes observed to be the most dominant order with 18 species (32%). The highest fish diversity was recorded during monsoon season, and lowest during winter. Maximum diversity variance (7.616 ± 2.76 Sd) observed in the monsoon season for 56 species (220 individuals). Also 12 different types of gears of two categories (active and passive) and two types of crafts were observed to be used for fishing in the study area. The highest number of species of fishes (n = 56) recorded in August and lowest (n = 3) in April and May 2013. Strong correlation between water depth and number of fish species (r = 0.74) and fishing activities (r = 0.96) was observed.Bangladesh J. Zool. 45(1): 11-26, 2017

The article presents the analysis of ground beetle population in forest belts of different types. The ecological structure of ground beetle complexes of forest belts is determined by soil and moisture conditions. Differences in the diversity of ground beetle populations depending on a complex of soil and plant conditions and the nature of anthropogenic impact are found. The increase in steppe formation and xerophytism conditions in forest belts leads to a decrease in species diversity of the genera Carabus, Poecilus, Pterostichus, Calathus, Amara and Harpalus.

The features of the nematode and acanthocephalus fauna of Cypriniformes and Siluriformes fish, their distribution in the water bodies of the Syrdarya River midstream were studied. In total, 18 helminth species belonging to the classes Nematoda – (14 species) and Acantocephala – (4) are registered in the region. 7 species we marked for the first time for the region of under consideration.Studies were conducted of different types of water bodies of the Syrdarya river in 2016–2019 years. The collection and study of helminths of fish were carried out by known methods in helminthology and ichthyoparasitology. 1239 copies of Cypriniformes fish belonging to 15 species (Cyprinidae – 12 species, Cobitidae – 3) and 12 specimens of Siluriformes fishes from the families (Siluridae and Clariidae) were researched.According to preliminary data, 18 species of helminths belonging to the class Nematoda (14 species) and to the class Acantocephala (4 species) were found in the studied fish orders in the reservoirs of the region. Significant species diversity is characterized by the class Nematoda. We have registered 14 species belonging to 4 orders. The detachment Trichocephalida Skrjabin et Schulz, 1928 is represented by one species – Capillaria tomentosa Dujardin, 1843, which is noted in most Cypriniformes in the natural and artificial reservoirs of the northeast of Uzbekistan. The greatest species diversity is distinguished by the detachment Spirurida Chitwood, 1933. We noted 8 species. The remaining units are represented by 1–2 species – banal fish parasites. The findings of Dioctophyme renale Goeze, 1782 (larvae) in Cypriniformes in the studied region should be noted.The Acanthocephala class is represented by 4 species: Neoechinorhynchus rutileMüller, 1780, Pomphorhynchus laevis Müller, 1776, Acanthocephalus lucii Müller, 1776 and A. anguillae Müller, 1780. Nematodes are dominant. The results suggest that the most optimal conditions for the functioning of the corresponding helminth communities probably exist in the water bodies of the Syrdarya’s midstream. The abundance of a number of invertebrate groups, the inhabitants of aquatic ecosystems, which are intermediate hosts of parasites, the accumulation of waterbirds and mammals contribute to the irreversible circulation of helminths in aquatic cenoses of the study area. All this requires systematic monitoring of fish helminthiasis in order to develop preventive measures.
