The terminology and morphology of plates of the posterior part of the antiarch head shield (Placodermi, Antiarchi) are discussed. The terms «zatilochnaya» and «bokovaya (kraevaya) zatilochnaya» was previously accepted in antiarch skulls and are suggested for use in Russian-language literature. These terms are more correct and clearly define a position and development of these plates in the head shield of antiarchs. The titles «zagrivkovaya (nuchalnaya)» and «bokovaya zagrivkovaya (paranuchalnaya)», recently applied to them in Russian-language literature may indicate a connection in development with an anterior part of a trunk. A similar term is used for acipenserid exoskeleton. The acipenserid «nuchalnaya kost’» is located posterior to the «verchnezatilochnaya» (after Gurtovoi), and embryonically developed in an anterior part of the trunk over basidorsals and bones of the shoulder girdle. The name «pervaya spinnaya plastinka» (first dorsal scute: after Hilton and others) is also use for this bone. The term «zagrivkovaya plastinka» is used in other vertebrate skeletons, for example, in turtles; this name denotes the unpaired element of a carapace (postcranial skeleton). Using the terms «zagrivkovaya (nuchalnaya)» and «bokovaya zagrivkovaya (paranuchalnaya)» in the morphology of antiarchs and other placoderms may lead confusion in the terminology of skeletal elements at early vertebrates, incorrect conclusion of their homology, structure and development of the head shield of these unusual fishes.

The spatial distribution of biological and ecological patterns in the Angara-Lena mountain province in Eastern Siberia is characterized according to the data of agroland- scape and ecological zoning of forage lands to assess the potential, sustainable agricultural nature management and environmental protection in the region. The province occupies area of 12 451.7 thousand hectares in the southern taiga zone and covers the Angara-Lena plateau (with 800-1460 m altitudes) and the low-mountain Primorsky Ridge. Most of the province territory (about 83%) is occupied by mountain forests. The area of agricultural land is 5% of the total area (including arable lands 2.7%, hayfields 0.7%, and pastures 1.5%). Significant areas of larch, mixed, birch forests of low mountains with a grass cover of large grasses (mountain crayfish, mixed-leaved bodyak, forest geranium, northern bedstraw, bathhouse species) and cereals (Langsdorf weinwort, spreading bor, sod pike, etc.) are used for grazing. The ecological state of the landscapes is tense, and tense and heavy for thearable. Agriculture and plant growing riskiness is highlighted according to natural and climate region features, especially erosion increasing as a result of agriculture. Simultaneously, however, the richest natural resources in the province, including fodder ones, are perspective for agriculture development.

The article is dedicated to one of the largest museum centers of natural history in the world - the California Academy of Sciences (San Francisco, USA), which is, since its founding in 1853, both a research and scientific and educational organization. The California Academy of Sciences, in its current version, presents a prime example of the development of basic museum’s concepts in USA: guardianship, corporate museum, museum communication, achieving the goals of sustainable development of society, the involvement in science the population on the basis of the system “STEM-education” (Science, Technology, Engineering Mathematics). The article analyzes the history and modern activities of the museum in terms of exhibition features, scientific and educational practice. Architectural, artistic and engineering solutions, features of internal infrastructure, themes, content and design of the exhibition complex reflect the stated national mission to "explore, explain and sustain"), in accordance with the implementation of the declared environmental concept of sustainable development (fighting global climate warming, the development of technologies of energy conservation, cleanliness and waste of production, etc.). On the basis of our own museum observations, analysis of literary data, we can conclude that museums as social institutions and interactive technologies used in the educational process are most suitable for the task of introducing the widest range of citizens to science and culture. The example of the California Academy of Sciences provides important guidelines for the development of museums in our country.

The article takes us back to the origins of the living matter idea that resulted in basis of V.I. Vernadsky theory of living matter. Also, the article deals with appearance of biospherology as a scientific branch, formed in the late 20th century and developed ideas of V.V. Dokuchaev and V.I. Vernadsky. The article provides an in-depth analysis of research papers, letters and documents by Vernadsky and his contemporaries, as well as his followers N.V. Timofeev-Resovsky, A.N. Tyuryukanov and others, worked in a range of disciplines from theory of evolution, microbiology and genetics to soil science, radiobiology, biochemistry and biogeocenology. They further developed Vernadsky’s ideas and formulated the global problem called Biosphere and Humankind. The author raises relevant issues of the theory of living matter current significance and suggests answers on some of them based on Vernadsky’s works. For the first time, the article sheds some light on one of the most fascinating pages in the history of science in the late 20th century including heated scientific and philosophical debates about how the newly emerging field of the Earth biosphere study should be called. The author of the paper suggested calling it biospherology, in a paper pubished in 1980.
本文回顾了沃尔纳德斯基生命物质理论的起源,并以此为基础提出了生命物质理论。此外,文章还讨论了生物圈学作为一个科学分支的出现,它形成于20世纪后期,发展了多库恰耶夫和维尔纳德斯基的思想。本文深入分析了维尔纳德斯基及其同时代人的研究论文、信件和文件,以及他的追随者N.V. Timofeev-Resovsky、a . n . Tyuryukanov等人的研究,这些人从事从进化论、微生物学和遗传学到土壤科学、放射生物学、生物化学和生物地学等一系列学科。他们进一步发展了沃尔纳德斯基的观点,并提出了一个名为“生物圈与人类”的全球性问题。本文结合沃尔纳德斯基的著作,提出了生命体理论的相关问题,并对其中的一些问题提出了回答。这篇文章第一次揭示了20世纪末科学史上最引人入胜的一页,其中包括关于如何称呼新兴的地球生物圈研究领域的激烈科学和哲学辩论。该论文的作者在1980年发表的一篇论文中建议将其称为生物圈学。

In the earth sciences, there is a persistent contradiction between modern ideas about the age of the planet and the concept of V.I. Vernadsky about the geological eternity of life. According to Vernadsky, the absolute age of the rock indicates only the time of its last metamorphism, but not the age of the Earth. It is no coincidence that the pregeological substance of a cosmic formation of the planet has not been found. Such substance does not exist because any mineral complex and rock begins to form in the hypergenesis zone. Vernadsky argued that geological history was equal in duration to the existence of the biosphere and its duration was measured by biological time. His concept is confirmed by current biogeochemistry. The history of the biosphere practically coincided with the "canonical" age of the Earth. In a cosmological sense, the picture of the universe cannot be built without the concept of the geological eternity of the biosphere.

The article shows history of the unique eolian coastal-marine complexes of the Curonian Spit development. The leading role of the Baltic Sea sea level fluctuations and wind activity in the formation of the spit is emphasized. Attention is paid to the territory development resuted in almost total destruction of the vegetion cover and transformation of the Curonian Spit into a sandy desert by the end of the 18th century. A variety of nature conservation measures to create the cultural landscape of the peninsula is highlighted. A modern landscape structure of the Curonian Spit is presented. The spit has the status of a National Park and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

An extensive thematic environmental program was implemented during the 2020 field season of the «floating universities» expedition. Work of the expedition is based on «learning through research» and «enlightenment through research» principles. The expedition worked through several thematic blocks: bioecological, geoecological and urban-ecological, paleoecological, and one dedicated to life safety and a healthy lifestyle. Each direction has the implemented curriculum: a set of field lectures (on the shipboard and in field camps), master classes (on natural and natural-anthropogenic objects), practical classes and laboratory mini-workshops. Scientific and methodological innovations were tested within each event. At the same time, profound impact on collection samples gathering for planned paleoecological and ecological-urban researches was implemebted for the youth participated in the expedition and the local population. Also, the intermuseum exhibitions organization was furnished assistance.

The new exhibition is located in Hall 5 «Geotectonics» in the Earth Science Museum at Moscow State University and devoted to an urgent problem of volcanic manifestations in areas of hot spots. Among the large number of active volcanoes on our planet, a significant place is occupied by volcanoes of hot spots and mantle plumes, which are characterized by the eruption of a huge amount of pyroclastic material (Hawaii, Yellowstone) and often form large igneous provinces (Eastern Siberia, Kerguelen, Deccan, Iceland). The exhibition presents geological samples from the funds and collections of the museum staff. All samples are characteristic of hot spot volcanoes and mantle plumes from different regions of the world.
