The European badger takes part in creating intracenotic and intercenotic flows of plant diaspores. This is evidenced by the fact that its diet includes plant species belonging to different communities, i.e. forest, meadow, marsh and water communities. Badgers move plant diaspores in three different ways: endozoochory, epizoochory, and synzoochory. Therefore seeds of the maximum number of plant species with various adaptations for zoochory are involved in diaspore flows. It has been proved that badgers can move large amount of diaspores over a distance of one kilometer, and in smaller amounts – up to two or three kilometers. Because of the badgers' foraging and construction activities, the species diversity of vascular plants in their settlements has increased by one and half times. Thanks to badgers, the plant species composition of the community becomes mixed. Plant species of the meadow, black alder, boreal and piny ecological-coenotic groups co-dominate in the ground cover of nemoral forests. Badgers searching for food disturb the soil cover and create a mosaic of the ground vegetation cover throughout the family's habitat which amounts to several hundred hectares. This heterogeneity includes three types of microcommunities: 1) with a predominance of vegetatively immobile annual and biennial plants of the ruderal group (Alliaria petiolata, Geranium robertianum, Lactuca serriola, Moehringia trinervia, Polygonum convolvulus, etc.); 2) with a predominance of vegetatively mobile perennials of the ruderal group (Galium odoratum, Glechoma hederacea and Stellaria holostea), and with a significant participation of phytocenotically tolerant plants (Asarum europaeum, Polygonatum multiflorum, Pulmonaria obscura, Viola mirabilis, etc.); 3) with a predominance of the vegetatively mobile perennials of the competition group (Aegopodium podagraria, Carex pilosa, and Convallaria majalis). This sequence of microcommunities is a microsucession. Competitive species are the driving force of group development as they gradually crowd out ruderal and tolerant plant species. Competitive species can become a dominant in the ground vegetation cover for a long time. However, the badgers' use of the community territory according to the "shift" system occasionally interrupts these unidirectional microsuccesions. The disturbances created by badgers and cyclical microsuccesions maintain the multispecies composition in the herbaceous cover of forest communities. These facts indicate that earlier the badger was an edificator (key species) in the ground vegetation of undisturbed biocenotic cover. Recently, however, due to overhunting and relentless poachers' attacks, the badger has become a rare endangered species. This animal is not an active environment-transforming part of the community anymore and it as good as stopped active moving of plant diaspores, which is needed for coenotic restoration.

Relevance and goals. The study of population polymorphism is an important task of modern biology both from the perspective of theoretical ideas about the variability of biological items and biological diversity, and from the practical side of studying the laws of species existence within the historical area. Russet ground squirrel (Spermophilus major Pall.) is a proper model species for exploring individual and population variability due to changes in the structure of the range. The study was aimed at examining the individual and population variability of the morphological indicators of russet ground squirrel in the Volga Region and in adjacent territories, taking into account the fragmentation of their range. Materials and methods. The material for the study comprises the collections and data on the lifetime certification of individuals (n = 412) obtained in the course of research (2011–2018) of 55 populations of russet ground squirrel in the Volga Region and adjacent territories. The study of features of the body external morphology covered body length (L), metatarsus (PL) and tail (C) (in mm). Statistical processing of the results was based on standard statistical parameters, as well as cycle-by-cycle discriminant and cluster analyses. Statistical data processing was conducted in Microsoft Office Excel 2010 and STATISTICA 10.0. Results. The morphological analysis of populations and metapopulations of russet ground squirrel using the methods of descriptive statistics and variance analysis prevents reliable recognition of the existence of the fragmented structure of the range for this species in the study region. The cycle-by-cycle discriminant analysis of morphological indicators samples characterizing populations of russet ground squirrel in the study region revealed their good differentiation in the space of discriminant functions and enabled determining some features of the morphological variability of russet ground squirrel in the study region. Due to the wide range of variability compared with the Volga populations, the Ural populations of russet ground squirrel occupy an extreme position in a series of morphological changes. At that, right-bank populations are characterized by a more balanced composition and absence of sharp changes in morphological indicators. Findings. The statistical analysis of samples of russet ground squirrel morphological indicators revealed a heterogeneous population polymorphism associated with a strong fragmentation of the habitat, and confirmed the existence of the metapopulation structure of its range.

. Wetlands provide organisms with a diverse range of breeding sites and food, allowing them to sur-vive during the non-breeding season. Despite the hotspot area, the waterbird fauna in the suburbs of Asmara city is poorly described. Information on the seasonal variation in species diversity and abundance is generally patchy. The study described the seasonal change in waterbird species diversity and abundance in different locations with varying physiological and ecological conditions. Waterbirds usually congregate around open wetlands, hence their abundance is more appropriately determined by counting all individuals in the congregate. The direct total area count method was implemented, and data was collected both during the dry (January-March) and wet (July-September) seasons of the year 2020. Species similarity between the study sites was calculated using The Morisi-ta-Horn index (C MH ). A total of 5641 waterbirds were counted, representing 12 families and 47 species. The study shows a significant difference (p<0.05) in species abundance between the wet and dry seasons, although species richness is not statistically significant. The highest site similarity and low complementarity was seen between Radar and Adi-Nefas areas (C MH = 0.759). Despite seasonal species turnover, the total species diversity does not show significant change, while their abundance being notably higher during the dry season. Few waterbird species appear in dominant number, while the majority species are represented by a few individuals. In general, site similarity was high in the dry season, and maximum similarity was seen between Radar and Adi-Nefas sites both in the wet and dry seasons.

In the work of Gorshkov and Makarieva [1] an idea was put forward that the formation of a continuous cover by immobile organisms (the so-called “lack of space abundance”) allows the species to effectively expel non-competitive individuals from the population thus maintaining genetic stability. An analogue of such “lack of space abundance” (continuous cover) is the territoriality in birds, when all areas suitable for reproduction are occupied and defended against intrusions of competitors. In the regime of territoriality, competition during the period of reproduction occurs only between close neighbors that are normally not numerous. This appears to be insufficient for the maintenance of species stability in birds, as during migration and overwintering birds assemble into big flocks where population densities and the intensity of competitive interaction become higher. Immobile organisms, on the other hand, are able to compete with their immediate neighbors only. This leads to the conclusion that, for such local competitive interaction to be effective, the frequency of appearance of non-competitive individuals in immobile organisms should be significantly lower than in locomotive organisms (birds).

. Background. The vegetation cover of the forest-steppe of the western slopes of the Volga Upland has been subjected to intense anthropogenic impact for a long time.

. 背景。长期以来,伏尔加河高原西坡森林草原植被受到强烈的人为影响。最重大和最剧烈的变化与领土开发过程中森林的破坏有关。材料和方法。森林植被的研究是在10 m × 10 m (100 m2)的试验田(SP)的路线和静止研究中进行的。在植物群落自然轮廓的框架内进行地植物学描述,并以百分比表示植物的投影覆盖。对于每一株木本植物,在SP上记录了以下内容:年龄状态、起源(种子或营养性)、高度、所属层、活力(通常为三分制)。获得的地植物学描述为生物多样性分析提供了材料。群落结构多样性是通过物种生态群落群(ECG)的植物覆盖组成比例来估算的。采用D. N. Tsyganov范围生态尺度对群落生境的生态状况进行了评价。结果和结论。不同生境的生态条件和不同的森林经济利用历史可以解释不同树种在个体组成上的差异。在人为活动的影响下,物种组成和树龄相同的树层逐渐减少,违反了植物群落的镶嵌式分层结构。即使在保护的条件下,经过几代之后,没有橡树的参与,植物群落的形成也是可能的。在耐阴物种占优势的大片地区,极有可能形成寡占和单占的群落。
