The role of animal key species in forest, wetland and fresh-water ecosystems as the concentrators diversity individuals different taxa (consorts) is described article from heterotrophic determinated paradigm point view. analysis consortive relations was based on research species’ representatives trophics mainly, less attention paid to other relation types (topic, fabric foric). Mammals, birds, amphibians, insects, mollusks zooplankton were study objects our research. In particular,...
The nesting behaviour and prey selection of Sceliphron destillatorium remains poorly studied in Ukraine. In the present study we analysed a total 59 nests S. destillatorium. main morphometric parameters nests, especially cell length width, were determined by measuring nest cells. spiders found cells identified to determine trophic relationships larvae. be terrestrial orb-weavers (Araneidae), crab-weavers (Thomisidae), tangle-weavers (Theridiidae), with clear predominance Araneidae. Six...
The attention in the article is paid to key species research importance. Their classification was discussed our published “Studia Biologica” (Y. Tsaryk, O. Reshetylo, I. Biol. Stud. 2019: 13(1); 161–168). main emphasis made on ecological species, while other categories were analyzed as well (protective, social etc.). A row of potential different ecosystems proposed based original field research. So, such phytophagous insects like alder leaf beetles Agelastica alni, Linaeidea aenea, and...
Background. The article presents the data obtained as a result of our research on nests an aboriginal wasp species territory Ukraine – Sceliphron destillatorium (Illiger, 1807) that belongs to family Sphecidae. We collected 54 in different regions: Zakarpattia (n = 4), Ivano-Frankivsk 1), Rivne 12) and Lviv 35) Regions. are presented measuring main morphometric parameters (length, width cells mass nests) which typical under study. paper also reports results soil texture analysis material...
North-central part of the Svydovets Mts with adjacent upper Chorna Tisa river basin belongs to most preserved and less disturbed mountain ecosystems in Ukrainian Carpathians characterized by high biotic landscape diversity. This area has been highly threatened lately because construction a large recreation ski spa resort “Svydovets” is being planned here. An unprecedentedly massive disturbance transformation natural complexes about 15-20.000 ha expected happen on territory, which almost...
Background. This paper presents analysis of a collection wasps (Vespoidea, Apoidea (Spheciformes) and Chrysidoidea) housed in the Zoological Museum Ivan Franko National University Lviv. The includes 779 specimens which belong to 70 species 32 genera. is represented by collected from 1966 1972 present. Most were Ukraine, eight United States America (2012), Germany (2005), Latvia Lithuania Italy (2012) Egypt (2005). aim study analyze biodiversity distribution wasp on territory Western Ukraine...
In this article, the interrelation of key species with biotic diversity in ecosystems is considered. Attention drawn to actual scientific problem biodiversity research all variety forms and on its levels. The further humankind existence depends solution problem. It possible conduct two aspects: integral (global) differential (local). These aspects differ final results their outlay sources for realization. Knowledge total planet a result global approach, knowledge certain groups organisms...
The history of development population studies in Ukraine is presented. Three main lines investigations, particular eco-genetic, coenotic and geographic are noted. Such terms as "strategy", "viability" "self-renovation" defined. types intra-population diversity their connection to adaptive potential the pointed out. Insufficient populations heterotrophic organisms, well further research priorities emphasized. Keywords: coenopopulation, naturalistic population, strategy, viability,...
First studies have been conducted coenotic connections land biota West Antarctic islands and clarified their significance for the tundra biogeocenoses, material was collected during 11 14 Ukrainian expeditions (2006-2007 2009-2010). Among biota, paid attention to fabrycal, forycal biotopical connections. Found that representatives of avifauna such as Larus dominicanus, Phalacrocorax atriceps play an important role in distribution Deschampsia antarctica between archipelago colonization...
The history of the use term “habitat” is considered. It emphasized that this refers to habitat a particular animal species or population and determined by their ranges. factors lead destruction habitats many populations on lowlands in highlands Ukrainian Carpathians are indicated. Attention drawn degradation mountain lakes streams as for aquatic hydrobionts. Among cause habitats, both natural anthropogenic origin identified: climate change, absolute protection territories, demutational...
Objective. To investigate the qualitative changes in habitats of two most common species penguin populations Wilhelm Archipelago Pygoscelis papua and P. adeliae (Spheniscidae) penguins CCAMLR Subarea 48.1 under impact climate krill fishery. Methods. The new method time-lapse camera registration to observe breeding success was applied minimize effect human disturbance on survival chicks avoid penguins. Installed colonies cameras were used record next parameters: arrival colony, copulation,...
On the basis of analysis modern ecological data and our population investigations an attempt is made to focus researchers attention on necessity fundamental habitats, metapopulations communities, causes their degradation, role microhabitats in conservation coenotic diversity. The need research as component parts large habitats pointed out. Various partial populations within metapopulation its continuitu support discussed. Three variants habitat destruction are described. They follows:...
Problems of population viability are discussed. Its individual and group characteristics presented. Species selected that endangered to extinction in highlands the Carpathians. They require more precise study from point view order design methods their conservation. The program is proposed threating factors Keywords: viability, population, mountain region, Ukrainian Carpathians, rare species.
Attention is paid to the necessity of studying topical, trophic, fabric and foric links during consortium structure analysis prognosis its future. It has been concluded that a focus individual, population ecosystem diversity. Consortium destruction leads loss biotic Keywords: consortium, links,
Since the second half of 19th century invertebrate fauna Carpathians has been studied in detail by numerous scientists. The western branches Chornohora massif Ukrainian attractive for researchers different groups invertebrates. However, there is no possibility to evaluate their diversity dynamics this area due lack generalized comparative long-term data. With regard that and considering advantageous localization high-mountain biological station Ivan Franko National University Lviv as a...
The importance of inter-ecosystem relations is a priori clear to most ecologists. Inter-ecosystem provide for the integrity ecological systems all levels (from consortion biosphere). between consortions and other ecosystems have not been studied in detail so far. Hence, there lack information about classification relations. Among well-studied are anthropogenic natural urboecosystems (Holubets, 2000). We propose based on following criteria: by origin (natural, anthropogenic,...

Data discussed in the paper concern role of digging mammals soil formation processes mountain ecosystems within Upper Dniester Beskydy area. Paper describes activity Talpa europaea L. and Sus scrofa during vegetation period (2–57 % mounds rooted sites), amount taken away or moved as well (0.08 – 8.6 m 3 /ha soil), chemical composition sites (рН 3.95–4.10). are provided on becoming overgrown by vegetation. It was found that transformation is basis for forming various properties natural...
