  • Lake Baikal Russian Federation
    LAKE BAIKAL RUSSIAN FEDERATION Lake Baikal is in south central Siberia close to the Mongolian border. It is the largest, oldest by 20 million years, and deepest, at 1,638m, of the world's lakes. It is 3.15 million hectares in size and contains a fifth of the world's unfrozen surface freshwater. Its age and isolation and unusually fertile depths have given it the world's richest and most unusual lacustrine fauna which, like the Galapagos islands’, is of outstanding value to evolutionary science. The exceptional variety of endemic animals and plants make the lake one of the most biologically diverse on earth. Threats to the site: Present threats are the untreated wastes from the river Selenga, potential oil and gas exploration in the Selenga delta, widespread lake-edge pollution and over-hunting of the Baikal seals. However, the threat of an oil pipeline along the lake’s north shore was averted in 2006 by Presidential decree and the pulp and cellulose mill on the southern shore which polluted 200 sq. km of the lake, caused some of the worst air pollution in Russia and genetic mutations in some of the lake’s endemic species, was closed in 2009 as no longer profitable to run. COUNTRY Russian Federation NAME Lake Baikal NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SERIAL SITE 1996: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria vii, viii, ix and x. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription. Justification for Inscription The Committee inscribed Lake Baikal the most outstanding example of a freshwater ecosystem on the basis of: Criteria (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x).

  • Significance of Protected Areas for the Pallas's
    Nature Conservation Research. Заповедная наука 2017. 2(Suppl. 1): 113–124 DOI: 10.24189/ncr.2017.019 SIGNIFICANCE OF PROTECTED AREAS FOR THE PALLAS’S CAT (OTOCOLOBUS MANUL: FELIDAE) CONSERVATION IN RUSSIA Anna N. Barashkova1, Vadim E. Kirilyuk2, Ilya E. Smelansky1 1Sibecocenter, Russia 2Daursky State Nature Biosphere Reserve, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Received: 12.04.2017 The Pallas’s cat, or Manul, Otocolobus manul, belongs to the small felines. In Russia this species is located at the northern periphery of its range. Potential habitats of this species within its Russian range’s part have been high- lighted on the base of remote sensing data, topographic maps and digital cartographic models. Maps of the Pallas’s cat’s records in Russia have been compiled using literature data, authors’ own data and information provided by contributors of the online database «Small Wild Сats of Eurasia». We have shown the representation of potential habitats of the Pallas’s cat and its actual registrations within Protected Areas of Russia. The total area of potential habitats for this species in Russia is assessed as 145,150 km2. The presence of Manul is confirmed for five regions of Russia: Republic of Altai, Republic of Tyva, Republic of Buryatia, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Trans-Baikal Krai. The registration of the species’ records mainly corresponds to the location of its potential habitats. The main categories of both federal and regional Russian Protected Areas cover 10.8% (13.5% taken with the buffer zones) of the total area of potential habitats for the Pallas’s cat. The significance of each Protected Area for Manul conservation has been considered in detail.

Previous studies of the mtDNA cytochrome b gene and control region indicated that the Baikal omul was closely related to the Baikal whitefi shes, but not to the Arctic cisco, Coregonus autumnalis Pallas, its closest taxonomic relative. Moreover, extremely high mtDNA similarity between Baikal omul and Baikal lacustrine whitefi sh, C. lavaretus baicalensis (Dyb.), was revealed. Direct sequencing of PCR-amplifi ed DNA of the fi rst internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA (rDNA ITS1) of fi ve taxa was car- ried out using previously designed primers to determine the position of the species within the Coregonidae: two ciscoes including the Arctic cisco, C. autumnalis Pallas, and the Irish pollan, C.

Circular No. 65 9^ RUSSIAN-ENGLISH GLOSSARY OF NAMES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL AND RELATED TERMS ^5, Compiled by W. E. Ricker Fisheries Research Board of Canada Nanaimo, B.C. August, 1962 FOREWORD This short Russian-English glossary is meant to be of assistance in translating scientific articles in the fields of aquatic biology and the study of fishes and fisheries. j^ Definitions have been obtained from a variety of sources. For the names of fishes, the text volume of "Commercial Fishes of the USSR" provided English equivalents of many Russian names. Others were found in Berg's "Freshwater Fishes", and in works by Nikolsky (1954), Galkin (1958), Borisov and Ovsiannikov (1958), Martinsen (1959), and others. The kinds of fishes most emphasized are the larger species, especially those which are of importance as food fishes in the USSR, hence likely to be encountered in routine translating. However, names of a number of important commercial species in other parts of the world have been taken from Martinsen's list. For species for which no recognized English name was discovered, I have usually given either a transliteration or a translation of the Russian name; these are put in quotation marks to distinguish them from recognized English names.
