Findings to the flora of Russia and adjacent countries: New national and regional vascular plant records, 2

Abstract

With this paper we continue a new annual series, the main purpose of which is to make significant floristic findings from Russia and neighboring countries more vi sible in Russia and abroad. In total, this paper presents new records for 24 vascular plant species from 4 Eurasian countries, obtained during field explorations, as well as during taxonomic revisions of herbarium materials. For the first time, new locali ty of Ageratum conyzoides, Salvia hispanica, Thymus rasitatus, Tulipa mongolica is recorded for Russia, Sparganium glomeratum for North Korea, Alyssum armenum for Georgia, Thymus pseudopannonicus for Kazakhstan, Cymbalaria muralis for the Asian part of Russia, Anthemis ruthenica for Siberia, Capsella orientalis, Echinops sphaerocephalus, Hera cleum sosnowskyi, Thymus elegans for Eastern Siberia, Persicaria orientalis for Western Si beria, Galatella crinitoides for the Black Soil Region, Centaurea orientalis for Zavolzhye, Silene dichotoma for the Altai Republic, Onobrychis arenaria, Symphyotrichum squamatum, Verbesina encelioides for the Republic of Dagestan, Geranium dahuricum for the Re public of Sakha (Yakutia), Koeleria spryginii for the Republic of Tatarstan, Phacelia tanacetifolia for Sakhalin, Adonis wolgensis for Novosibirsk Region. For each species, the general distribution, habitat, and taxonomy, indicating differences from related species and location are presented.

Pleistocene dynamics of the Eurasian steppe as a driving force of evolution: Phylogenetic history of the genus Capsella (Brassicaceae)

“…21 ka). The geographical distribution of Capsella orientalis was assessed based on geographical range information from the literature (Ebel, 2002 ; German, 2015 ; German et al., 2012 ; German & Ebel, 2009 ; Iljinska et al., 2007 ; Jalas & Suominen, 1994 ; Kulikov, 2005 ; Sheremetova et al., 2011 ; Verkhozina et al., 2020 ), Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF: https://www.gbif.org ), and herbarium and own field data. The final dataset consisted of 121 entries (Figure 2 and Figure S2 ).…”

ADDITIONS TO THE VASCULAR PLANT FLORA OF THE REPUBLIC OF MORDOVIA (RUSSIA): CONTRIBUTION OF THE iNATURALIST PLATFORM

“…The study of plant biodiversity is an important part of biological and ecological research around the world [2,8,14,24]. The additions to data on the plant diversity of certain regions or Protected Areas [1,3,5,28] are a basis for creation of checklists of countries and particular geographical macro-regions. This is especially important in relation to such a large country as Russia, characterized by broad and at the same time hard-to-reach territories.…”

Additions to the Flora of the Republic of Mordovia, Russia

“…Biological diversity research is widely recognized as a primary step for understanding the biology and ecology of plants and animals in many regions of the world [2,9,13,19]. New records of plants and animals in particular countries, smaller regions or Protected Areas [1,4,23] serve as a basis for additions to lists of plants and animals that enable creation of taxonomic checklists. In relation to Russia, as a broad and at the same time remote territory, such studies are crucial to obtain the complete list of taxa.…”
