“…The Lower Dnipro is known for its refugia, isolated local populations of forest species refugia, isolated local populations of forest species. Rare and endangered species are found here, as well as amphibian population systems unique to the south (Suriadna & Mykytynets, 2018;Suriadna et al, 2020). All of this was destroyed during the dam subversion.…”

The purpose of this article is to determine the ecological consequences of the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant (southern Ukraine) on the biological diversity of the region. The main research methods were: theoretical generalization and system-functional approach, analysis, synthesis, expedition method. The ecological consequences of the destruction of a hydroelectric dam are divided into two types: drainage and flooding. As a result of the flooding, 48 objects of the nature reserve fund, with a total area of 120 thousand hectares, were affected. Aquatic biotopes and biotopes characteristic of overmoistened areas were the most affected by drainage. 38 rare types of biotopes, which are under the protection of the Bern Convention, were affected by the ecological disaster; wetlands of international importance (so-called Ramsar) with an area of 33,000 hectares in the Dnipro delta and seven objects of the Emerald network. Prospects for further research are related to the study of biotope restoration after an ecological disaster.

Vegetation cover and occurrence of salamanders in the western Mediterranean

The Mediterranean region possesses a rich diversity of salamanders, which also exhibit a high degree of ecological diversification. It is assumed that the presence of salamanders is dependent on the level of vegetation cover in terrestrial habitats, but the strength of this association is likely to vary among species. In this study, we investigated the patterns of habitat utilization for Mediterranean salamanders based on 589 records of 33 species. We tested the hypothesis that the association between salamander presence and vegetation density varies among genera or reproductive modes (i.e. terrestrial vs aquatic). The results show that vegetation cover has similar influences on terrestrial and aquatic groups but important differences are identified for lotic and lentic aquatic species. Our findings also indicate that the aquatic lotic, terrestrial, and small‐body species deviate significantly from that expected from the background range of variation.
