The aim of the research was to study the composition and the characteristics of the synanthropic flora of the western lowlands of the Altai mountains. The territory is located in the north-west of the Altai mountains (See Fig. 1). It is represented by the Kolyvan Ridge and a part of the adjacent Pre-Altai Plain with low stony arrays along the Alei river, the Loktevka river, the Belaya river and the Charysh River (within geographical coordinates 50°45'-51°45'N, 81°35,-82°46'E). About 300 years ago, on this territory there were discovered deposits of non-ferrous metals and ornamental stones. The start of mining originated from the beginning of deforestation and plowing of the adjacent steppe territories. Besides agricultural use, touristic and recreational use of the territory is being intensively developed nowadays. However, the western lowlands of the Altai mountains are the main areas for keeping the biological diversity of the Altai-Sayan region, especially the steppe biome. Therefore, synanthropic plants of this region need to be studied due to the anthropogenic pressure on natural ecosystems that creates a problem today. We have been studying the synanthropic flora of the western lowlands of the Altai mountains since 1996. This research includes the results of our field studies published earlier [Maslova OM, 2003] and recently (the herbarium is kept at ALTB and KUZ), as well as data of other researchers [Ebel AL, 2012; Silant’eva MM, 2013; Kopitina TM, Terehina TA and Nekrasova NV, 2003; Kleshcheva E, Korolyuk A and Lashchinsky N, 2005; Usik NA, 2014]. In the synanthropic flora, we included species which are adventive on the studied area and apophytes encountered in disturbed habitats. We analyzed systematic and typological structure of the synanthropic flora to identify its characteristics. The flora of the western lowlands was tested according to hemerobility [Kunick W, 1974; Klotz S, 1984; Frank D and Klotz S, 1990; Pestryakov BN, Cherosov MM and Ishbirdin AR, 2011] and hemeroby [Zverev AA, Sheremetova SA and Sheremetov RT, 2018] scales in the app IBIS (version 7.2). We established that the flora of the western lowlands of the Altai mountains is represented by 1105 species, 455 genera and 109 families of vascular plants. The synanthropic fraction of the flora embraces 272 species, 173 genera and 41 families. Families Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Poaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Lamiaceae are prevalent while Fabaceae, Rosaceae, Cyperaceae are losing their leading positions, traditional for the natural flora (See Table 1). Such genera as Chenopodium (8 species); Potentilla (7); Centaurea, Artemisia, Cirsium, Rumex (6 species each); Cuscuta, Plantago and Trifolium (including Amoria) (5 species each) are equally represented. The arealological analysis was carried out on the basis of the modern settlement of species; 11 types of areas were identified in the synanthropic fraction (See Table 2). Among alien species, Holarctic species hold the first place wh

In Siberia, the honeybee was introduced about 230 years ago. It was the dark-colored forest bee Apis mellifera mellifera L., that was cultivated in Siberia as the most adapted to the harsh climatic conditions of the region. At the end of the last century, bees of the southern breeds, mainly Apis mellifera carpathica subspecies (a derivative of A. m. carnica subspecies), were actively imported to Siberia. Introgressive bee hybridization leads to the reduction of the range of native subspecies and the formation of hybrids, modifies the genetic pool of local honeybee populations leading to the loss of their genetic identity. Russia, including Siberia, still has unique abilities to preserve the aboriginal populations of the honeybee. For Siberia, such a unique subspecies is the dark-colored forest bee A. m. mellifera, which is considered endangered in Europe. At present, the knowledge of honeybee subspecies living in Siberia, including Tomsk region, is insufficient; data on the genetic diversity of honeybees are fragmentary. In this regard, the aim of this work was to identify the biological diversity of the A. mellifera honeybee living in Tomsk region using morphometric and molecular genetic markers. A total of 337 bee colonies obtained from 65 apiaries of Tomsk region were investigated using mtDNA analysis (variability of the COI-COII locus) and morphometric method (analysis of wing parameters: cubital and hantel indexes, discoidal shift) (See Fig. 1). The genetic diversity of honeybees was studied using 9 microsatellite loci (A008, AC117, A043, A113, A024, Ap243, Ap049, H110, SV185); a total of 106 bee colonies and 893 individuals were investigated. According to the analysis of variability of the COI-COII mtDNA locus, 62.9% of bee colonies were of A. m. mellifera origin on maternal line, 29.1% of bee colonies were of the origin from the southern subspecies and 8.0% were from mixed colonies. Three variants of the mtDNA COI-COII locus were registered: PQQ, PQQQ (characteristic of A. m. mellifera) and Q (characteristic of subspecies of the southern origin) (See Fig. 2). According to a morphometric study, about 56% of the studied bee colonies conformed to the A. m. mellifera standard according to the majority of morphometric parameters, but for some individual characteristics (mainly the indicator “discoidal shift”), a deviation from the values adopted for this subspecies was recorded. About 24% of the studied bee colonies are more consistent with the A. m. carpathica standard, but also have some signs characteristic of A. m. mellifera (hybrids based on the A. m. carpatica subspecies). Finally, a comparative analysis of the variability of morphometric parameters and variability of the COI-COII mtDNA locus allowed us to identify bee colonies (the so-called “inverted colonies”), which corresponded to the A. m. mellifera standard according to morphometric parameters, but had the Q variant of mtDNA (colony origin from the southern bee subspecies on the ma

A comprehensive research of rare and endangered species plays an important role in the conservation of biological diversity. Cypripedium calceolus L. (fam. Orchidaceae Juss.) is a rare species included in the Red Data Book of Kirov region. It needs biological control in its territory. The aim of this study was to investigate the ontogenetic structure and morphometric parameters, and to identify the vital structure of C. calceolus cenopopulations in Kirov region. In 2014, we examined the state of five C. calceolus cenopopulations (CP) on limestone deposits along the Vyatka river valley slopes (southern taiga subzone, Kirov region, Russia) (See Table 1). To study the conditions of coenopopulations, we used approaches and methods of plant population biology (Uranov, 1975; Coenopopulations ..., 1976, 1977, 1988; Zaugol’nova et al. 1993; Zhukova, 1995). Ontogenetic spectra were typifed according to the “delta-omega” classification (Zhivotovsky, 2001), determining age (A) and efficiency ( ю ) indices. In each habitat, we laid transects which were then divided into plots where individuals at different onthogenetic state were registered. The coenopopulation vitality structure was investigated using the method of calculating the IVC index (Ishbirdin and Ishmuratova, 2004) and the method of calculating the Q index (Zlobin, 1989, 2009). The variability and correlation structure of C. calceolus populations was studied according to classification of NS Rostova (2001). To study morphometric characteristics of plants we considered their height, the number of leaves and flowers, the size of the leaf (length and width), the number of leaf veins, the size of the lip (length and width), the length of the blade lip. We analyzed up to 30 generative individuals in each CP. It was defined that ontogenetic structure of all 5 coenopopulations was normal, incomplete, right-side type with maximum on generative plants. The proportion of generative plants varies from 47 to 72%. Virginile individuals dominate in pregenerative group, 26 to 46%. Immature plants take 0.34 to 8.44% (See Fig. 1). Seedlings and juvenile plants of seed origin were not marked, which proves that population quantity of the studied CPs is promoted vegetatively. We marked insignificant fluctuations of quantitative proportions of different ontogenetic states. Based on the ratio of age index (A) and efficiency ( ю ), all studied C. calceolus coenopopulations, excluding CP4, are defined as ripening. CP4 is characterized as mature (See Fig. 2). Based on the analyses of morphological parameters of variability structure it was determined that the least variable parameters of C. calceolus are the number of leaves, the size of the lip (length and width), and the length of the blade lip; generative sprout height varies the most. The number of flowers can serve as an ecological indicator (See Fig. 3). Analyses of vitality structure allowed revealing that the most favorable conditions for C. calceolus form in spruc

The aim of our work was to study the architecture and morphogenesis of Ihymus dmitrievae Gamajun. (Lamiaceae Lindl.) growing in the Tien-Shan mountains to identify morphological mechanisms of its adaptation to growing conditions. The main habitat of the species is steppe communities in forest, subalpine and alpine zones of the mountains. According to AP Gamayunova and AA Dmitrieva (1964), T. dmitrievae in different habitats is characterized by the density of head inflorescence, leaf size, calyx teeth shape and its pubescence. Information about the biology of this species is absent in literature. We conducted our study on the territory of the Aksu-Zhabagly Reserve (Western part of the Talas Alatau): 1) the Kshi-Kaindy upriver (42°22'31"N, 70°34'37"E, altitude of 2206 m above sea level), the upper limit of the juniper belt, forb-fescue high-mountain steppe, dark brown soil among the outcrops of stones; 2) middle reaches of the Kshi-Kaindy river, (42°24'25"N, 70°34'42"E, altitude of 1808 m above sea level), the belt of junipers, bushy forb-feather-grass mountain steppe, soils are leached and covered with cobbles. The life form of T. dmitrieva was specified using ecological-morphological classification of life forms by IG Serebryakov (1962). The biomorph type was established in accordance with OV Smirnova et al.’s (2002) phytocoenotic classification developed on the features of spatial distribution of shoots, buds and roots of plants. The morphogenesis phases of T. dmitrieva were selected according to the characteristics given by OV Smirnova and supplemented by NP Savinykh and VA Cheryomushkina (2015). In 25 individuals of each ontogenetic state, we calculated the number of vegetative and generative shoots in the bush structure, their length, the number of compound skeletal axes and partial bushes, and the bush diameter. The data for each feature are presented as an arithmetic mean with a standard error. When describing the shoot system of T. dmitrievae, we used the architectural approach (Caraglio and Edelin, 1990; Barthelemy and Caraglio, 2007; Millan et al., 2019), according to which an architectural unit consisting of the main (or maternal n-order) composite skeletal axis, the composite skeletal axis of the 1st (or n+1) order, single shoots of the 1st order formation, branching shoots and ephemeral shoots was distinguished. The analysis of shoot formation, the pattern of death of shoots and the method of their growth showed that T. dmitrievae was characterized by the life form of the dwarf shrub. Depending on the characteristics of the substrate, we revealed polyvariance of individuals. In the areas of substrate free from stony-gravelly outcrops, the morphogenesis of individuals is characterized by a variety of phases (in genets: primary shoot, primary bush, clump; in ramets: partial bush, the system of partial bushes), the clump phase being the longest of them (until 16 years) (See Fig. 1).

The structure of individuals is formed by repeating thr","PeriodicalId":37153,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Tomskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta-Biologiya","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80913652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
