A very strong heterogeneity of the soil and cli mate conditions Olga V. Kotenko2 accounts for a considerable disparity in the list of alien species between various Elena A.

Heavy-mineral concentrate consists of chromite, epidote, and garnet. Small gold-cinnabar occurrences are presumably sources for the placer. Deposit occurs along the Il'inka River near where it discharges into Tatar Strait. Alluvium of the first (lowest) floodplain terrace is gold-bearing. V.D. Sidorenko , 1977. M10-01 Bridge River Camp Au Production of 171 kg fine Au. 50°50'N Placer Au Years of Production: 122°50'W 1902-1990. Fineness: 812-864 Gold occurs in gravels of ancient river channels, and reworked gravels in modern river bed and banks. The bedrock to the gravels is Shulaps serpentinite and Bridge River slate. The source of the gold may be quartz-pyrite-gold veins that are hosted in Permo-Triassic diorite, gabbro and greenstone within the Caldwallader Break, including Bralorne and Pioneer mines. Primary mineralization is associated with Late Cretaceous porphyry dikes. Bridge River area was worked for placer gold as early as 1860, but production figures were included with Fraser River figures until 1902. B.C. Minfile, 1991.

The approach taken was to compare the status and population trends of stocks of key cetacean species in three areas with E&P activities―Alaska (subdivided into three regions, the Beaufort, Bering and Chukchi seas), Australia (Western and southeast regions), and Sakhalin Island, Russia―with corresponding parameters for stocks of the same species (where possible) in areas where E&P activities were absent or greatly reduced. The project involved a critical review of existing and historical data on cetacean stocks, and a compilation of data on E&P activities and non-industry factors that may have influenced stocks, in the areas of interest. Data were assessed in terms of quality, quantity, and temporal and spatial coverage to determine whether sufficient data were available for a reasonable assessment of correlations between cetacean populations and E&P activities.

Lampyris noctiluca (Linnaeus, 1767) (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) covers an extensive transpalaearctic range (Medvedev & Ryvkin 1992; Geisthardt & Sato 2007; Kazantsev 2010, 2011) with unclear boundaries of distribution on the periphery. The eastern sector of the range has been studied the least. Until recently, from the Amur region (within the borders of the Amurskaya oblast' and Khabarovskii krai of Russia) three points of collection of L. noctiluca were known. However, this which does not give a detailed idea of the range of the species in this region (Kazantsev 2010) (Fig. 1). Our research provided material from the basins of the Amur and Uda rivers, which significantly clarifies the northern boundary of distribution in the eastern sector of the range of Lampyris noctiluca. Lampyris noctiluca is also firstly recorded for the Heilongjiang province in China and the Evreiskaya avtonomnaya oblast' in Russia.
