Kassal F.M. Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Received: 27.07.2016 Over a period of 205 years, there have been carried out dozens of censuses of nests and nesting bird individuals, summerings and non-nesting bird individuals, winterings and wintering bird individuals, the determinations of migration routes in the Caspian region and across the Caspian Sea, in Central and Southern Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Russia. Until the early XXI century, the main flamingo nesting sites were located in the Caspian region and along the Caspian Sea within the Russian Empire / USSR / Commonwealth of Independent States. It was found that such a geographical distribution of flamingo nesting sites was established until 1930 by the relative stability of the global climate conditions in northern Eurasia that have caused the stand of water level in the Caspian Sea. During this period, in the northern part of the Asian population the monitoring of the flamingo had the form of collecting mainly qualitative information. Amongst these are the determination of the locations of breeding sites, summerings and winterings; the bird’s abundance was characterised mainly using the epithets. The next period (from 1931 to 1977) was caused by the development of anthropogenic influences and by changes of global climatic conditions in northern Eurasia, which have caused a decrease in the water level in the Caspian Sea. -
New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus Nova-Anglica) Grassy
Advice to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee on an Amendment to the List of Threatened Ecological Communities under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Name of the ecological community New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Grassy Woodlands This advice follows the assessment of two public nominations to list the ‘New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Woodlands on Sediment on the Northern Tablelands’ and the ‘New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Woodlands on Basalt on the Northern Tablelands’ as threatened ecological communities under the EPBC Act. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) recommends that the national ecological community be renamed New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Grassy Woodlands. The name reflects the fact that the definition of the ecological community has been expanded to include all grassy woodlands dominated or co-dominated by Eucalyptus nova-anglica (New England Peppermint), in New South Wales and Queensland. Also the occurrence of the ecological community extends beyond the New England Tableland Bioregion, into adjacent areas of the New South Wales North Coast and the Nandewar bioregions. Part of the national ecological community is listed as endangered in New South Wales, as ‘New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Woodland on Basalts and Sediments in the New England Tableland Bioregion’ (NSW Scientific Committee, 2003); and, as an endangered Regional Ecosystem in Queensland ‘RE 13.3.2 Eucalyptus nova-anglica ± E. dalrympleana subsp. heptantha open-forest or woodland’ (Qld Herbarium, 2009). 2. Public Consultation A technical workshop with experts on the ecological community was held in 2005. -

Abstract: Fascicle 3 of 'Selected exsiccates of Caloplaca' com- prises 25 collections of lichens from the following countries: Bulgaria (3), the Czech Republic (1), France (2), Greece (5), Italy (1), Kazakhstan (1), Romania (1), Russia (7), Turkey (1), and Ukraine (3). Isotype material of Caloplaca syvashica and paratypes of Caloplaca neotaurica and Caloplaca skii are distributed. All samples were identified by the author. ITS fingerprinting was carried out on the following collections: 51. Caloplaca aractina, 52. Caloplaca arnoldii subsp. arnoldii, 54. Caloplaca communis, 55. Caloplaca concreticola, 57. Calo- placa diphyodes, 64. Caloplaca lucifuga, and 68.

Although modern molecular phylogenetic studies find the genus Caloplaca paraphyletic, the classical conception used in most recent checklists is followed here. 'Selected exsiccates of Caloplaca' is distributed on exchange basis to the following 15 herbaria and private collections: ASU, B, C, CANB, CBFS, F, GZU, H, LE, M, MIN, PRA, TNS, UPS, herb.

In 2001, Siberian Cranes laid 23 eggs of which 21 chicks hatched. Six eggs were transported to Western Siberia for placement in nests of the wild Eurasian Cranes. Two of the six eggs were returned to the CBC, due to shortage of nests in the wild. The Siberian Crane chicks were reared by two methods – isolation rearing (18 chicks) and by parents (1 chick). -

Date this sheet was FOR OFFICE USE ONLY. completed/updated: DD MM YY June 1997 Designation date Site Reference Number 2. Country: Russian Federation 3. Name of wetland: Volga Delta 4. Geographical coordinates: 45°54' N 48°47' E 5. Altitude: 25-27 m below sea level 6. Area: 800,000 ha 7. Overview: The Volga Delta is predominantly a freshwater riverine wetland complex with permanent and seasonal lakes and riverine floodplains. The site comprises the lower part of the Volga Delta (the largest inland delta in Europe), including the shallow waters of the fore-delta. The wetlands of the delta support a rich and globally significant diversity of habitats and species, in particular fish and migratory birds. The value of biophysical functions they perform is very high as well as their amenity values. Major problems that affect the delta are upstream water pollution from urban and industrial developments, agricultural pollution through application of pesticides and fertilizers in the delta itself, and regulation of the Volga River by dam constructions. 8.

Gorodovikov, 28, Microdistrict 9, Elista, Republic of Kalmykia, Russia, [email protected] Abstract The article is devoted to the study of toponyms recorded in the archival documents dating back to 1742. The material attracted our attention because it is a document-based description of the activity of Tatishchev at the time when he used to be the head of the Kalmyk Commission at the Collegiate of Foreign Affairs and the Governor of the Astrakhan province. These documents are stored in the National Archives of the Republic of Kalmykia and they are undoubtedly important for studying the toponymic space of the Lower Volga Region. The aim of the study is to reconstruct the toponymic landscape of the Astrakhan province according to the route, known as a “military campaign” from Astrakhan to Tsaritsyn. -
