  • A New Euselachian Shark from the Early Permian of the Middle Urals, Russia
    A new euselachian shark from the early Permian of the Middle Urals, Russia ALEXANDER O. IVANOV, CHRISTOPHER J. DUFFIN, and SERGE V. NAUGOLNYKH Ivanov , A.O., Duffin, C.J., and Naugolnykh, S.V. 2017. A new euselachian shark from the early Permian of the Middle Urals, Russia. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (2): 289–298. The isolated teeth of a new euselachian shark Artiodus prominens Ivanov and Duffin gen. et sp. nov. have been found in the Artinskian Stage (Early Permian) of Krasnoufimskie Klyuchiki quarry (Sverdlovsk Region, Middle Urals, Russia). The teeth of Artiodus possess a multicuspid orthodont crown with from four to nine triangular cusps; prominent labial projection terminating in a large round tubercle; distinct ornamentation from straight or recurved cristae; oval or semilu- nar, elongate, considerably vascularized base; dense vascular network formed of transverse horizontal, ascending, short secondary and semicircular canals. The teeth of the new taxon otherwise most closely resemble the teeth of some prot- acrodontid and sphenacanthid euselachians possessing a protacrodont-type crown, but differ from the teeth of all other known euselachians in the unique structure of the labial projection. The studied teeth vary in crown and base morphol- ogy, and three tooth morphotypes can be distinguished in the collection reflecting a moderate degree of linear gradient monognathic heterodonty. The range of morphologies otherwise displayed by the collection of teeth shows the greatest similarity to that described for the dentitions of relatively high-crowned hybodontids from the Mesozoic. The internal structure of the teeth, including their vascularization system is reconstructed using microtomography. The highest chon- drichthyan taxonomic diversity is found in the Artinskian, especially from the localities of the Middle and South Urals.

  • Plant Diversity and Spatial Vegetation Structure of the Calcareous Spring Fen in the "Arkaulovskoye Mire" Protected Area (Southern Urals, Russia)

Sirin2 1Ufa Institute of Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences Ufa Federal Research Centre, Ufa, Russian Federation 2Institute of Forest Science, Russian Academy of Sciences, Uspenskoe, Russian Federation _______________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The plant communities of base-rich fens are locally rare and have high conservation value in the Republic of Bashkortostan (Russian Federation), and indeed across the whole of Russia. The flora and vegetation of the calcareous spring fen in the protected area (natural monument) “Arkaulovskoye Mire” (Republic of Bashkortostan, Southern Urals Region) was investigated. The species recorded comprised 182 vascular plants and 87 bryophytes (67 mosses and 20 liverworts), including 26 rare species listed in the Red Data Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan and seven species listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation. The study area is notable for the presence of isolated populations of relict species whose main ranges are associated with humid coastal and mountainous regions in Central Europe. The vegetation cover of the protected area consists of periodically flooded grey alder - bird cherry forests, sedge - reed birch and birch - alder forested mire, sparse pine and birch forested mire with dominance of Molinia caerulea, base-rich fens with Schoenus ferrugineus, islets of meso-oligotrophic moss - shrub - dwarf pine mire communities, aquatic communities of small pools and streams, etc. Examination of the peat deposit indicates the occurrence of both historical and present-day travertine deposition.

  • Number and Distribution of Gyrfalcons on the West Siberian Plain. Pages 267–272 in R
    NUMBER AND DISTRIBUTION OF GYRFALCONS ON THE WEST SIBERIAN PLAIN IRINA POKROVSKAYA AND GRIGORY TERTITSKI Institute of Geography, Russian Academy of Sciences, 29 Staromonetny per., Moscow, 119017, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT.—Using our own observations and published records, we discuss the breeding range, number, and distribution of Gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus) on the West Siberian plain. We show that the currently accepted assessment of Gyrfalcon numbers appears to be underestimated. The southern limit of the species’ breeding range should be defined south of forest-tundra. With the predicted northward expansion of forest due to climate change, West Siberian and neighboring Gyrfalcons of subspecies F. r. intermedius appear preadapted to such habitat and may be favored by its expansion. These considerations call for increased efforts to survey the region for the pres- ence of nesting Gyrfalcons. Received 22 March 2011, accepted 23 May 2011. POKROVSKAYA, I., AND G. TERTITSKI. 2011.

Preface In the year 2019, we decided to organize the 2020 SEQS-INQUA conference “Quaternary Stratigraphy – palaeoenvironment, sediments, fauna and human migrations across Central Europe”. The original idea was to offer a conference program with a plenary oral presentation at a venue located in the Śnieżnik Mountains (in the Sudetes) combined with field sessions in the Sudeten caves, the Giant Mountains (Karkonosze) and the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland.

  • Selection of Reference Stream Gauges at the River Ufa Catchment
    International Journal of Environmental Science Elena Belozerova et al. http://iaras.org/iaras/journals/ijes Selection of reference stream gauges at the river Ufa catchment ELENA BELOZEROVA1,2, NATALIYA KRASNOGORSKAYA1, ANTONIA LONGOBARDI2, ELVIRA NAFIKOVA1, 1 Department of Production Safety and Industrial Ecology, Ufa State Aviation Technical University, Karl-Marx-Str. 12, 450000, Ufa, RUSSIAN FEDERATION 2Department of Civil Engineering University of Salerno University Via Giovanni Paolo II, 132, Fisciano (SA) ITALY [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: - The paper is devoted to the problem of selection of reference stream gauges to estimate the average daily streamflow for ungauged catchments. Daily streamflow data are crucial for several fields such as water management, rational resource utilization, hydropower energy production, but the number of ungauged watersheds is still big and it is needed a large scale of regional approaches as a practical response to this problem. In the following, results of an application to the catchments of the rivers: Ufa, Ai, Bolshoj Ik, Tjuj, Sars and Jurjuzan are presented. The map correlation method has been performed [1], where differences is made between the “closest” stream gauge and the “best correlated” stream gauge criterion for reference station selection. It was found that selection of the nearest stream gauges do not usually provide high correlation between their daily streamflow values. Whereas choosing most correlated stream gauge as a reference perform better results in case of goodness of fit parameters (lower errors and higher NSE), compared to the nearest stream gauge. Key - Words: - Daily streamflow, ungauged catchment prediction, reference stream gauge, Russian Federation.
