“…In many coastal regions, E. maritimum is one of the rarest and most threatened plant species and is therefore listed in Red Data Books (e.g. in Lithuania, Estonia, Norway, Israel, along the Russian Black Sea; Balevičius ; Paal ; Fremstad & Moen ; Sapir, Shmida & Fragman ; Seregin & Suslova ). However, in Britain, it is assessed as not threatened (Leach & Rusbridge ) and its status is ‘least concern’ (Cheffings, Farrell & Dines ).…”

Summary1. This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Eryngium maritimum L. (Sea Holly) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biological Flora of the British Isles: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, history and conservation. 2. Eryngium maritimum is a native perennial hemicryptophyte, with a large taproot, spiny and leathery leaves and a pale bluish inflorescence. It has a more or less continuous distribution in suitable habitats along the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland up to about 55°N, but it is more scattered further north. On the west coast, it is found south of the Hebrides, and on the east coast, with some exceptions, south of Yorkshire. In Europe, it has a wide, but mainly southern temperate, European distribution along the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, the Baltic, the Mediterranean, and the Black and Azov Seas. Its northern distribution limit is at c. 60°N. 3. Eryngium maritimum grows typically on sand and shingle beaches, foredunes and yellow dunes, as well as in semi-fixed grey dunes. Its habitats have full sunlight and are more or less dry. It occurs in many coastal plant communities from the beach inland, and because of its wide European distribution, it occurs with members of several different biogeographical species groups. 4. Protected from grazing by its spininess and sclerophylly, E. maritimum is nevertheless vulnerable to direct damage by trampling. It supports few insect herbivores, probably because of chemical defences. Historically, it has had a great number of medicinal uses. 5. Eryngium maritimum is unable to withstand competition from faster and more densely growing plant species. In many coastal regions, in both temperate and mediterranean parts of Europe, it is one of the rarest and most threatened plant species, mainly because of habitat loss and land-use changes.Key-words: climatic limitation, communities, conservation, ecophysiology, geographical and altitudinal distribution, germination, herbivory, mycorrhiza, reproductive biology, soils Sea Holly.

BackgroundThe Abrau Peninsula is located in northwestern Caucasus between the cities of Novorossiysk and Anapa, Krasnodar Province, Russia. This paper contains an annotated checklist of the Chilopoda and Diplopoda inhabiting the Abrau Peninsula.New informationThe fauna of the Abrau Peninsula comprises 17 centipede (4 orders) and 16 millipede (6 orders) species. Henia taurica, hitherto known only from the Crimea, has now been reported from several localities in the studied region. The study also reveals two possibly new millipede species. Statistical analyses showed that habitat preferences of myriapod species within the Abrau Peninsula are caused by species geographic distribution pattern and microbiotope preferences.

“…Флора высших растений полуострова Абрау характеризуется наличием значительного количества средиземноморских элементов (Flerov, Flerov, 1926;Galushko, 1978;Grossheim, 1948), поэтому данную территорию относят к Крымско-Новороссийской провинции Средиземноморской флористической области (Takhtajan, 1978). В заповеднике «Утриш» и его окрестностях произрастают не менее 930 видов сосудистых растений, среди которых большую долю составляют древнесредиземноморские, средиземноморские и средиземноморско-евро-пейские виды, что говорит о репрезентативно-сти его флоры для данной провинции (Seregin, Suslova, 2007).…”

Аннотация. Заповедник «Утриш» расположен на Черноморском побережье Кавказа, на полуостро-ве Абрау, между Анапой и Новороссийском. В ста-тье представлены первые результаты изучения ли-хенофлоры заповедника. В субсредиземноморских ксеротермных фисташково-можжевеловых и мезо-фильных широколиственных лесах обнаружено 225 видов лишайников из 106 родов. 17 видов являются новыми для Российского Кавказа, из них 10 видов ра-нее не были известны на Кавказе (Arthonia varians,
