Eleven species are new to Russia: Lithurgus tibialis Morawitz, 1875, Anthidium spiniventre Friese, 1899, Icteranthidium ferrugineum (Fabricius, 1787), Hoplitis carinata (Stanek, 1969), Coelioxys acanthura (Illiger, 1806), C. decipiens (Spinola, 1838), Megachile al- bonotata Radoszkowski, 1886, M. pyrenaica (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), M. burdigalensis Benoist, 1940, M. flavipes Spinola, 1838, and M. tecta Radoszkowski, 1888. Twenty species are new to the North Caucasus, five species are new to the south of the European part of Russia, and one species, Megachile leucomalla Gerstäcker, 1869, is new to the North Caucasus and south of the European part of Russia; the latter species is also reported for the first time from Iran. Hoplitis ravouxi (Pérez, 1902) is excluded from the list of the Russian fauna. A nest of H. carinata is described for the first time.

Эолово-аккумулятивный комплекс “Сарыкум” (далее Сарыкум) – крупнейший в России и один из высочайших в Евразии изолированных (т.е. сформированных вдали от пустынь) песчаных массивов, расположенный на Терско-Сулакской низменной равнине у подножия Предгорного Да- гестана (северо-восточный мегасклон Большого Кавказа). С конца XIХ в. и до настоящего времени отмечается снижение его максимальной абсолютной высоты более чем на 16 м (с середины ХХ в. – на 5.7 м) – с 262 до 245.8 м, что связано, по мнению авторов, с естественными природными (преж де всего климатическими) изменениями в регионе – уменьшением суммарного количества умеренных, сильных и очень сильных ветров (с 1966–1986 гг. по 1987–2015 гг. в среднем почти на 41%, особенно в летнее (наиболее сухое и дефляционно опасное) и зимнее время года), и увеличением годового ко- личества осадков (с 1966–1986 гг. по 1987–2015 гг. в среднем почти на 25%). Последнее обстоятель- ство благоприятствовало широкой экспансии травянисто-кустарниковой растительности на склонах Сарыкума и повышало противодефляционную устойчивость его песков. Дополнительной природной причиной отмеченного снижения могло выступить сильное землетрясение 14 мая 1970 г., эпицентр которого располагался недалеко от Сарыкума. На фоне природных изменений потенциальная роль антропогенного фактора проявилась, в основном, через карьерные разработки песка в начале ХХ в.

    drones Article The Methodological Aspects of Constructing a High-Resolution DEM of Large Territories Using Low-Cost UAVs on the Example of the Sarycum Aeolian Complex, Dagestan, Russia Artur Gafurov Department of Landscape Ecology, Kazan Federal University, 420008 Kazan, Russia; [email protected] Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have long been well established as a reliable way to construct highly accurate, up-to-date digital elevation models (DEM). However, the territories which were modeled by the results of UAV surveys can be characterized as very local. This paper presents the results of surveying the Sarycum area of the Dagestan Nature Reserve of Russia with an area of 15 sq. km using a DJI Phantom 4 UAV, as well as the methodological recommendations for conducting work on such a large territory. As a result of this work, a DEM with 0.5 m resolution as well as an ultrahigh resolution orthophotoplane were obtained for the first time for this territory, which make it possible to assess the dynamics of aeolian processes at a qualitatively different level. Keywords: dem; uav; large territory; Sarycum; field work; sfm; photogrammetry 1.
