Detailed draft conclusions on the representation of animal species from Res. No. 6 (1998) of the Bern Convention in proposed Emerald sites in the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation and Ukraine (Steppic, Alpine-Caucasus and Black Sea) Important Notes: 1. This document includes all species reported present in the countries from Emerald databases (Databases analysed: delivery May 2016) and those species which are probably present according to literature data 2. Glossary: SUF (Sufficient): the occurrence of the species/habitat type is sufficiently well covered by the current ASCIs; no further sites are required. IN MIN (Insufficient minor): no new sites are required, but this species/habitat type should be added to the list of qualifying features on one or several of sites that have already been proposed for other species/habitat types. IN MOD (Insufficient moderate): one or several additional ASCIs (or extensions of ASCIs) must be proposed to achieve a sufficient coverage of the Emerald network for this species/ habitat type (IN MOD GEO means additional site(s) are only required in a specifically named region) IN MAJ (Insufficient major): none of the sites where this species/habitat type occurs have been proposed as ASCIs so far; in order to achieve a sufficient coverage of the Emerald network for the species/habitat type, one or several of these new ASCIs must therefore be proposed. SR (Scientific reserve): further research is required to identify the most appropriate ASCIs for this species/habitat type (research on identifying the most appropriate sites, on clarifying the correspondence of a habitat present to the definition of Res. 4 habitats, etc. ) SR Ref List (Scientific reserve on the Reference List): the regular occurrence of this species/habitat type is still uncertain and needs to be confirmed Delete from Ref List (delete from the Reference List): this species/habitat type is not naturally occurring and will be removed from the Reference List; no sites are required for this species/habitat type CD (Correction of data): the information about this species/habitat type in the Standard Data Form needs to be corrected/completed/deleted Codes can be combined, for example ‘IN MOD/ CD’ would indicate that additional sites are required and that the existing proposals need correcting or completing. The field "pop-permanent" represents a summary of the individual data records for a given species. As this type of information is still largely missing in the database, the field remains empty for almost all species. Emerald Biogeographical Seminar Steppic-Alpine(Cau)-Black Sea 6-8 September 2016 - Draft Conclusions Page 1 of 37 Code Species Name iso biogeo pASCI pop. assessment pop. permanent Draft Conclusion Comments Draft Conclusion Mammals 1303 Rhinolophus hipposideros MD STE 2 ( 2C) p( 0- 0i) [CON:IN MOD/CD] Information from MD authorities suggest IN MOD? more locations in NE of the region. They are also indicated in the Red Book. Site assessments indicate low population coverage. 1303 Rhinolophus hipposideros RU ALP- 7 ( 7C) More widely distributed in Krasnodar (20 localities in local IN MOD? Cau Red Book), eastern part of north Caucasus (Red-Listed in Dagestan)? 1303 Rhinolophus hipposideros RU BLS 1 ( 1C) According to Red Book of Krasnodar, occurs also on the IN MIN? seacoast site in RU_BLS. 1303 Rhinolophus hipposideros RU STE 3 ( 3C) Apparently marginal to Steppic region, could be sufficient if ? all important colonies included? 1303 Rhinolophus hipposideros UA STE 9 ( 7B 2D) [CON:IN MOD] According to Red Book, in the Steppic region ? it occurs only in Crimea. Could be sufficient, provided that most important colonies are included. No quantitative data avalable; according to population assessments the cover is 14-100%. 1304 Rhinolophus ferrumequinum MD STE 0 Red Book and even information supplied by MD authorities IN MAJOR? suggest at least one locality. 1304 Rhinolophus ferrumequinum RU ALP- 9 ( 9C) Gaps in SW part of Dagestan (Red Book) and northern ALP IN MOD? Cau part of Krasnodarskij Krai? 1304 Rhinolophus ferrumequinum RU BLS 2 ( 2C) The whole region is virtually included; all SDFs contain this Probably SUF? species. 1304 Rhinolophus ferrumequinum RU STE 5 ( 5C) Although marginal to STE, information supplied by RU ? authorities and local Red Books suggest a wider distribution along ALP/STE border, - in Krasnodarskij Krai, Dagestan, Stavropol. Is network improvement possible here? Emerald Biogeographical Seminar Steppic-Alpine(Cau)-Black Sea 6-8 September 2016 - Draft Conclusions Page 2 of 37 Code Species Name iso biogeo pASCI pop. assessment pop. permanent Draft Conclusion Comments Draft Conclusion 1304 Rhinolophus ferrumequinum UA STE 11 ( 7B 3C 1D) [CON:SR] Similar to R. Hipposideros, in the Steppic region it ? occurs only in Crimea. Could be sufficient, provided that most important colonies are included. No quantitative data avalable; according to population assessments the cover is 14-100%. 1305 Rhinolophus euryale RU ALP- 1 ( 1C) Species is more widely distributed in the western part of IN MOD? Cau North Caucasus, e.g. Krasnodar (Red Book), possibly in neighbouring territorial units as well? 1305 Rhinolophus euryale RU BLS 2 ( 2C) The whole region is virtually included; all SDFs contain this Probably SUF? species. 1305 Rhinolophus euryale RU STE 0 Red Book of Krasnodar and information provided by RU ? authorities suggest that the range extends also into RU_STE region. 1307 Myotis blythii MD STE 0 Red book suggests 2 locations in the STE region. IN MAJOR? 1307 Myotis blythii RU ALP- 5 ( 1B 4C) Red-listed in Krasnodar and Adygea (no sites) and there IN MOD? Cau could be more sites in the southern part of Dagestan? Could be marginal also to RU_BLS? 1307 Myotis blythii RU STE 2 ( 2C) Currently proposed sites share ALP and STE regions, thus is ? species ocurring also in STE parts of these sites? IUCN map suggests that the range well extends from ALP to STE region? 1307 Myotis blythii UA STE 9 ( 6B 3C) [CON:IN MOD] Sites in Crimea match with the distribution ? given in Red Book, i.e. Could be sufficient. IUCN suggests presence also in SW, i.e. Odessa region, but this map is known to be very robust? 1308 Barbastella barbastellus RU ALP- 2 ( 2C) Currently, there is a gap in the central part of North ? Cau Caucasus. Both sevin.ru and IUCN suggest an uninterrupted range. Some GE sites indicate a need for possible connectivity. More studies necessary? 1308 Barbastella barbastellus RU BLS 1 ( 1C) Krasnodar Red Book suggests presence also on the coastal IN MIN? part of RU_BLS region. Emerald Biogeographical Seminar Steppic-Alpine(Cau)-Black Sea 6-8 September 2016 - Draft Conclusions Page 3 of 37 Code Species Name iso biogeo pASCI pop. assessment pop. permanent Draft Conclusion Comments Draft Conclusion 1308 Barbastella barbastellus RU STE 1 ( 1C) Current one site suggests that barbastelle is marginal to STE ? region, but both IUCN and sevin.ru suggests distribution also in the very southern part of RU_STE bordering with ALP-Cau. Krasnodar Red Book has a few grids in its STE part - no sites around! 1308 Barbastella barbastellus UA STE 7 ( 4B 2C 1D) [CON:IN MOD] In UA_STE, occurs only in South Crimea, Probably SUF? according to Red Book. Sites are also in agreement with Bashta (2012) and Kovaleva&Taraborkin (2001). 1310 Miniopterus schreibersi RU ALP- 1 ( 1C) Currently one site in the crossroads between ALP, BLS and IN MOD/IN MIN? Cau STE regions. A number of Georgian sites suggest that the range could extend more eastwards from the existing site. Any evidence? For example, it is red-listed in North Osetia - but no sites there. 1310 Miniopterus schreibersi RU BLS 1 ( 1C) Currently one site in the crossroads between ALP, BLS and IN MIN? STE regions. Krasnodar Red Book suggests presence also in the coastal part - an existing site is there? 1310 Miniopterus schreibersi RU STE 1 ( 1C) Currently one site in the crossroads between ALP, BLS and ? STE regions. Regularly occurs in the Steppic part of the site? Reference List? Not present in STE region elsewhere. 1318 Myotis dasycneme MD STE 2 ( 2C) p( 0- 0i) [CON:IN MOD] Red Book suggests 2 localities of which only IN MOD/IN MIN? one (the northernmost) is covered. Another uncovered locality - probably in existing site (S of Prut) is suggested by MD authorities. 1318 Myotis dasycneme RU STE 2 ( 2C) [CON:IN MOD] sevin.ru marks almost an uninterupted range IN MOD/IN MIN? across northern part of STE region. For example, red-listed in Saratov (no sites), Bashkortostan (no sites), Astrakhan (no sites). Marginal and insufficiently stidied in Krasnodar (no sites). 1318 Myotis dasycneme UA STE 0 According to Red Book, present in Odessa and Mikolajiw IN MAJOR? oblasts as well as in the north-east: Kharkiv and Donetsk oblasts. Emerald Biogeographical Seminar Steppic-Alpine(Cau)-Black Sea 6-8 September 2016 - Draft Conclusions Page 4 of 37 Code Species Name iso biogeo pASCI pop. assessment pop. permanent Draft Conclusion Comments Draft Conclusion 1321 Myotis emarginatus RU ALP- 2 ( 2C) Sites in GE and AZ suggest that the species could be found IN MOD?IN MIN? Cau more often in the northern face of Caucasus? Unfortunately not all red-listing data from this area found to be used in this study. Any new information? 1321 Myotis emarginatus RU BLS 1 ( 1C) Krasnodar Red Book suggests presence also on the coastal IN MIN? part of RU_BLS region. 1321 Myotis emarginatus RU STE 1 ( 1C) Probably very marginal or not ocurring at all in the Steppic ? region? Reference List? 1321 Myotis emarginatus UA STE 4 ( 1B 3C) [CON:SR/CD] According to Red Book and IUCN map, occurs Probably SUF? only in south Crimea. 1323 Myotis bechsteini RU ALP- 1 ( 1C) Currently two quite remote sites in Krasnodar & Adygea and ? Cau Dagestan, both sites sharing also RU_STE.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

Fantastic Beasts Of The Eurasian Steppes: Toward A Revisionist Approach To Animal-Style Art Abstract Animal style is a centuries-old approach to decoration characteristic of the various cultures which flourished along the urE asian steppe belt in the later half of the first millennium BCE. This astv territory stretching from the Mongolian Plateau to the Hungarian Plain, has yielded hundreds of archaeological finds associated with the early Iron Age. Among these discoveries, high-end metalwork, textiles and tomb furniture, intricately embellished with idiosyncratic zoomorphic motifs, stand out as a recurrent element. While scholarship has labeled animal-style imagery as scenes of combat, this dissertation argues against this overly simplified classification model which ignores the variety of visual tools employed in the abstraction of fantastic hybrids. I identify five primary categories in the arrangement and portrayal of zoomorphic designs: these traits, frequently occurring in clusters, constitute the first comprehensive definition of animal-style art.
