IUCN guidelines using for assessment of plants from the Red Book of Russian Federation at regional level: a case study for the Republic of Mordovia (Russia)

Abstract

There are 15 plant species included in the Russian Red Book, which occur in the Republic of Mordovia: Najas tenuissima, Koeleria sclerophylla, Stipa dasyphylla, S. pennata, S. pulcherrima, S. zalesskii, Fritillaria ruthenica, Iris aphylla, Cypripedium calceolus, Cephalanthera rubra, Epipogium aphyllum, Neottianthe cucullata, Orchis militaris, Neotinea ustulata, Thymus cimicinus. Of these, only C. calceolus is included in the Global Red List as Critically Endangered. Threat status for studied species in Mordovia was assessed, and their distribution dynamics in this region throughout 12 years was described. Recent floristic studies, inspections of herbariums and literature were used for searches all provided data. Grid mapping and IUCN criteria were used. Nine taxa were determined as Critically Endangered, three as Endangered, one as Vulnerable, one as Near Threatened and one as Data Deficient. The areas of occupancy and extent of occurrence in Mordovia were assessed for each taxon. All studied species should be included in the next edition of the Mordovian Red Book. F. ruthenica, E. aphyllum, N. ustulata, T. cimicinus require additional studies to confirm earlier observations. Za naštete vrste smo ocenili status ogroženosti in njihovo dinamiko razširjenosti v tej regiji v zadnjih 12 letih. Za predstavljene podatke smo uporabili nedavne floristične raziskave, preglede herbarijskih zbirk in literaturo. Uporabili smo metodo kartiranja kvadrantov in kriterije IUCN. Devet taksonov smo ocenili kot skrajno ogrožene, tri kot ogrožene, enega kot ranljivo vrsto, enega kot potencialno ogroženega in enega kot vrsto za katero obstaja premalo podatkov. Za vsak takson smo določili območje celotne in dejanske razširjenosti. Vse obravnavane vrste je potrebno vključiti v naslednjo izdajo rdečega seznama Mordovije. Za vrste Fritillaria ruthenica, Epipogium aphyllum, Neotinea ustulata, Thymus cimicinus so potrebne dodatne raziskave, ki bi potrdile prejšnja opažanja. Izvleček

Current distribution and conservation of Najas tenuissima (Hydrocharitaceae)

“…These publications are dedicated to the systematic treatment of the genus Najas L. (Tzvelev, 1976), the former and current distribution of species within the genus Najas, family Najadaceae (Kolesnikova, 1965;Veisberg, 2011) and Najas tenuissima (Samsel, 1939;Gorlova, 1960;Bolotova & Kozyr, 2008;Suško, 2008Suško, , 2015Issakainen et al, 2011). Our work generalises the data of the regional floristical reports (Tikhomirov, 1975(Tikhomirov, , 1986Tzvelev, 1987Tzvelev, , 2000Kazakova, 2004), Red Data Book of the Russian Federation (Tzvelev, 2008), regional Red Data Books and materials to their maintenance (Uotila & Tzvelev, 1998;Tzvelev, 2000bTzvelev, , 2004Bolotova, 2009;Shcherbakov & Kazakova, 2011;Stepanov, 2012;Silaeva et al, 2014;Resolution, 2015;Khapugin et al, 2016), floristical records (Volobaev, 1991;Chepinoga et al, 2013) …”

“…In 2014 the species was found completely unexpectedly in the Temnikov district, in the ponds Bolshoy Filippovsky and Maly Filippovsky, 6 km southeast of the town Sarov: 15.08.2014, leg. E. Vargot, E. Yakunina (GMU, HMNR;Silaeva et al, 2014;Khapugin et al, 2016). Shoots of Najas tenuissima have been observed at a depth of 40-60 cm on the sandy ground near the embankments and on the eastern shallows of ponds.…”

Cypripedium calceolus (Orchidaceae) in Central Russia: a case study for its populations in two protected areas in the Republic of Mordovia (Russia)

“…Although, C. calceolus is included in the Global IUCN Red List with category Least Concern (LC), this is one of the most endangered orchid species in Europe (Kull 1999). In different regions of Eurasia, C. calceolus has been estimated as Near Threatened (Bilz 2011, Turis et al 2014, Vulnerable (Rassi et al 2001), Endangered (Witkowski et al 2003), and Critically Endangered (Blinova & Uotila 2011, Khapugin et al 2017a, Khapugin et al 2017c. International studies on C. calceolus related to its genetic diversity (Brzosko et al 2009, Brzosko et al 2011, Fay et al 2009, Kļaviņa et al 2014, Minasiewicz & Znaniecka 2014, population ecology and biology (Blinova 2002, Brzosko 2002, Davison et al 2013, Fardeeva et al 2010, Gajewski & Marcisz 2014, Khapugin et al 2014, Korczyński & Krasicka-Korczyńska 2014, García et al 2002, García et al 2010, Gorchakovskii & Igosheva 2003, Kirillova 2015, Kull 1998, Nicolè et al 2005, Puchnina 2017, Stetsuk 2013, Zheleznaya 2015, impacts of environment conditions and stress-factors on the species (Blinova 2002, Czerepko et al 2014, Kirillova 2016, Kirillova et al 2012, Puchnina 2017, Shefferson et al 2012, pollination …”
