Study and Monitoring of Big Cats in Russia. Moscow: KMK Scientific Press Ltd., 2019. 138 p. This monograph provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the available litera- ture on the monitoring of big cats. Special attention is paid to the most up-to-date methods based on recent advances in technology, resulting in useful tools to remotely and non- invasively study animals in natural habitats, essential when working with rare species. Existing large- and small-scale approaches to monitoring big cats are described. Methods of monitoring the habitat conditions of the species and their dynamics, as well as the basics of modeling territories with suitable conditions for leopards, are suggested. The whole range of field sampling methods that enable data to be processed using contempo- rary techniques is described.

Mikhaljova Institute of Biology and Soil Science, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Prospekt 100-letiya Vladivostoka 159, Vladivostok 690022, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A review of the millipede fauna of the islands of the Russian Far East and Kamchatka Peninsula is presented, with 36 species involved, all arranged in a catalogue-like manner. A brief historical account, data on the distribution, a comparative analysis of the island diplopod faunas, and zoogeographical notes are given. Keywords: Myriapoda, fauna, distribution, islands, Russia 1. Introduction The Russian Far East includes archipelagos and islands off the western coast of the northern Pacific and the islands off the Chukotka at the border between the East Siberian and Chuckchee seas (see Map 1). The most known among them are the islands of the Primorsky Province in the Sea of Japan, Sakhalin Island, the Kurile Islands, the Wrangel, the Commander, Shantarskie islands and Karaginsky Island. Knowledge of the millipede fauna of the islands of the Russian Far East is still incomplete. Some of the islands of the East Siberian and Bering seas, the Sea of Okhotsk have hitherto remained unexplored. However, it is possible to surmise that these islands are devoid of diplopods or that their millipede fauna is extremely poor. The Wrangel Island seems to be totally devoid of Diplopoda; at least, large long-term (within 12 years) materials on Wrangel invertebrates contain neither millipedes nor centipedes (Khruleva 1987, Stishov 2006).
