Abstract—The long-term dynamics (over more than 70 years) of pike infection by cestodes Triaenophorus crassus and T. nodulosus in the Rybinsk Reservoir (the Volga River) has been studied in a comparative aspect. Cestode T. crassus is an invasive species that has entered the reservoir together with vendace Coregonus albula (the second intermediate h...

AbstractA study of the anthropogenic impacts on the on-shore aggregation of true seals was carried out at a haul-out located at the mouth of Piltun Bay (the northeastern part of Sakhalin Island, Russia). During the ice-free period, three species of ice-associated seals inhabited the haul-out: bearded seals, ringed seals, and spotted seals. The tota...

AbstractInner Mongolia Hanma National Nature Reserve without human disturbance is a natural laboratory for the study of Larix gmelinii forest because it has well-preserved coniferous forests in cold temperate zone in Northeast China. Fifty-eight plots were set up in nature reserve to examine the most important local environment factors involved in ...

AbstractResponses to contamination of several soil types with crude oil were comparatively analyzed in organisms of different trophic groups. Samples of soddy podzolic, light gray, soddy calcareous, dark gray, and floodplain soils were supplemented with oil in concentration ranges of 1–5 and 100–300 g/kg and tested in the laboratory for the effect ...

Abstract—To test the hypothesis that animals from habitats exposed to high anthropogenic pressure are more successful in adapting to captivity, immature narrow-skulled voles trapped in different zones of Karasuk Research Station (Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals) and beyond its boundaries were kept under laboratory conditions. Voles ...

AbstractWe propose a new reconnaissance method for mouse-sized mammal abundance estimation that does not involve animal capture. For survey purposes, we used plastic bottles without covers, which were baited and set out with free entry and exit for animals. Two patterns of setting out were tested: 5 and 10 m intervals on transects of 120 m in lengt...

AbstractStudies in the fir‒spruce forests of the Middle Urals, in habitats with varying degrees of transformation by natural disasters (windfalls and fires), have shown that the abundance and dynamics of invertebrate communities determine the food supply of shrew habitats, one of the most important microhabitat characteristics. The indicator of foo...

Abstract—The evolutionary-ecological concept of morphoniche is proposed where the morphoniche is regarded as part of the multidimensional ecological niche that characterizes the limits of phenotypic plasticity of individuals, cenopopulations, and taxocenes in the morphospace. The phenome—a morphofunctional “shell” of an individual—is the basic part...

AbstractIn this paper, Ellenberg’s indicator values were estimated in order to soil nitrogen (N), pH (R) and soil moisture (M) in different subalpine grassland communities of the Giresun Mountains (Turkey). All the EIVs were significantly different in the studied plant communities. The differences among the plant communities can be explained by the...
