Seasonal life of nature in the Upper Kolyma region.
Moscow: KMK Scientific Press. 2015. 329 pp., il.
The book is devoted to the analysis of phenological phenomena in the Upper Kolyma region. Average long-term phenological data is presented. The effects of interannual and year-by-year changes of temperatures, precipitation and other weather conditions on phenology are analyzed for the main forest-forming, medicinal and fruit plants. The bias of phenological trends and the analysis of synchronous fluctuations of the timing of phenological events show certain changes caused by the warming of local climate. Phenological anomalies are also studied. The book will be of interest to botanists, ecology and natural resources experts, local geography specialists, nature reserves personnel, Biology and Geography teachers.
Key words: phenology, Kolyma, climate change, phenological trends. Ills. 16. Tables 30. Refs: 243 names. Suppl. 4.

The full taxonomic checklist of flora of vascular plants of the North of the Russian Far East is given for the first time. It encounters 2090 registered species belonging to 511 genera and 110 families. For each species Latin name, data on distribution in floristic districts and ecology, for many species the common synonyms are given. Checklist of flora is forestalled by the outline and maps of vegetation. Monograph can be the base for evaluation of biological diversity, biogeographic reconstructions, elaboration of strategy of rational usage and protection of plant world of the North of the Russian Far East.
This edition is designated for botanists, biologists, specialists in environmental conservation and reserves, students and teachers.

Results of the long-term helminthological study (2001-2013) of the Pacific salmons and anadromous charr from the genus Salvelinus, held in the basins of the three largest salmon rivers of the northern part from the continental coast of the Sea of Okhotsk - Taui, Yama and Gizhiga, and in the coastal waters of Taui Bay, are generalized. In general 53 species of helmin-thes (43 genera, 30 families, 13 orders, 5 classes, 3 types - Plathelminthes, Nemathelminthes, Acanthocephales) and three species of parasitic crawfishes (2 genera, 2 families, 1 order of Crustacea class, Arthropoda type) were determined. According to number of species among helminthes trematodes dominate - 24 species, 19 genera, 12 families, 5 orders, 1 class. The second and the third positions are taken by cestodes (11 species, 8 genera, 8 families, 2 orders, 1 class) and nematodes (11 species, 11 genera, 7 families, 3 orders, 1 class). Acanthocepha-lans, while having low number of species (7), represent taxa of high rank (5 genera, 3 families, 3 orders, 2 classes of separate type). Correlation of helminthes according to ecological groups (fresh water and sea) is approximately as follows: 26 species of fresh water parasites (4 cestodae, 10 trematodae, 7 nematodae, 3 acanthocephalae and 2 copepodae), 29 of sea parasite (6, 14, 4, 4 and 1, correspondingly) and one species (Cestoda Diphyllobothrium luxi) of uncertain ecological status.
The author's conception about natural unit, named Severnoye Okhotomorye, is stated; ecological-faunistic analysis of material is made with the help of comprehensive range of ich-thyoparasitological literature, which allows the reader to have a complete grasp of fauna and biology of parasite worms of all groups and species of anadromous salmon fishes from the northern part of the Sea of Okhotsk.
From the scope of at least 20 species of helminthes, which have medicine and (or) veterinary relevance, or mar the marketable appearance of fish production, four were marked out and characterized (Diphyllobothrium luxi, Anisakis simplex, Pseudoterranova decipiens and Nybelinia surmenicola), as the most significant in practical aspect for population of the northern coasts of the Sea of Okhotsk.
The book is aimed at specialists in parasitology, fishery researches, and students of biological profile, fishery managers and large amount of amateur fishermen from the North-East of Russia.
