Saproxylic insects were collected during fifteen expeditions to the Republic of Kareliain summers 1991-94. A total of 63 species (48 beetles, 15 others) included in the Finnish red data book are reported. Fourteen species of Coleoptera and Aradus ribauti Wagner are reported as new for Karelia. Notes on the biology of e.g. Hylochares cruentatus (Gyllenhal), Rhizophagus puncticollis Sahlberg, Cis fissicomis Mellié, Sulcacis bidentulus (Rosenhauer) and Leptura thoracica Creutzer are given. The number of threatened species found is striking considering the short period of time spent collecting in the field. We ascribe this to the management history of forests in Karelia, especially to the large amount of decaying wood in managed forests even. The forests in Karelia will be of crucial importance in preserving biodiversity and the last viable populations of numerous species that have disappeared in other parts of Fennoscandia.

The issue of the conservation status of Trifolium alpestre L. (Fabaceae) on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan is considered in the article. The species was included in the first edition (2001) and the second edition (2011) of the Red Data Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan (category and status: 3 – rare species). The article provides the following information about the species: morphological description with an indication of the main diagnostic features; modern data on the distribution of the species in the republic, new finds of the species in the Bashkir Cis-Ural; brief ecological and phytocenotic characteristics; features of biology (according to data from literature sources); modern data on the number and state of local populations; limiting factors; adopted and recommended protection measures, data on the possibility of preserving the species in culture. Currently, the state of Trifolium alpestre on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan can be considered satisfactory. There are no direct threats to the species. It has been established that the species is distributed much more widely in the Republic of Bashkortostan (the species is known from more than 30 points in 16 administrative districts) than previously assumed (it was known in 16 points in 12 administrative districts during the preparation and publication of the Red Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2011). The species shows significant tolerance to adverse factors and tends to increase in number. It is satisfactorily provided with territorial security The data presented in the article fully justify the possibility of excluding the species Trifolium alpestre from the list of the Red Data Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan and including it in the regional list of species that need biomonitoring – «List of flora and fungi objects that are not included in the Red Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan, but need special attention on the territory of the republic to their state in the natural environment and monitoring».

The issue of the conservation status of the species Cephalaria uralensis (Murr.) Schrad. ex Roem. et Schult. (Dipsacaceae Juss.) в) on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan is considered in the article. The species was included in the first edition (2001) and the second edition (2011) of the Red Data Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan (category and status: 3 – rare species, the species is located on the territory of the republic at the northern and eastern borders of the range). The article provides the following information about the species: morphological description with an indication of the main diagnostic features; modern data on the distribution of the species in the republic, new finds of the species in the Bashkir Cis-Ural и South Ural (western macroslope); brief ecological and phytocenotic characteristics; features of biology (according to data from literature sources); modern data on the number and state of local populations; limiting factors; adopted and recommended protection measures, data on the possibility of preserving the species in culture. The state of the species Cephalaria uralensis at the present time on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan can be considered satisfactory. The species shows significant resistance to adverse factors. It was found that the species is widespread in the republic much wider than previously thought. The species is satisfactorily provided with territorial protection, a significant part of its known populations are located within the boundaries of existing or projected specially protected natural areas. The data presented in the article substantiate the reasons for the exclusion of the species Cephalaria uralensis from the list of the Red Data Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan and its subsequent inclusion in the regional list of observed species – «List of flora and fungi that need special attention to their state in the natural environment and monitoring (observed species)» [Red Data Book..., 2021].

The genus Iris Tourn. ex L. of the family Iridaceae Juss. there are 200 different species in the Northern Hemisphere. There are more than 30 species of this genus in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, some of which are endemic to Azerbaijan or the Caucasus. All irises are decorative and used in ornamental gardening. Iris caucasica Stev. (Iris caucasica Hoffm.) and I. lycotis Woronow (Iris iberica subsp. lycotis (Woronow) Takht.) grows on rocky and grassy slopes of The Garagush Mountain. Iris caucasica Stev. is included in the Red Data Book of Nakhchivan AR as an important subcatagory of protection with the status of Lower Risk — LR (a — Conservation Dependent — CD). Iris lycotis Woronow has been to its activity and other abiotics factors, its range is reduced its biology is poorly studied and it is included as an endangered species in the Red Data Book of Nakhchivan AR with the status of Near Threatened — NT. Species included in this category should be enshrined in special protected areas and their biological characteristics should be studied.

Цель исследования в изучении таксономического состава и экологофаунистических особенностей полужесткокрылых насекомых обитателей древеснокустарниковой растительности, отловленных барьерными ловушками на двух пограничных территориях Рязанской области и Республики Мордовии. Представлены сведения по дендробионтным полужесткокрылым насекомым (сборы 2013 2016 гг.). Всего с помощью метода барьерных ловушек нами отловлено 65 видов полужесткокрылых насекомых, из них 20 видов составляют дендробионты. В Мордовском заповеднике выявлены шесть новых для республики клоповдендробионтов: Aradus obtectus, Aradus betulinus, Phylus coryli, Pilophorus clavatus, Orius horvathi, Miris striatus, а также занесенных в Красную книгу Республики Мордовия Himacerus apterus и Zicrona caerulea. По пищевой специализации почти половина выявленных видов хищники, которые являются регуляторами численности вредных насекомых, а из вредящих фитофагов отмечен только сосновый подкорник Aradus сinnamomeus. При рассмотрении таксономической структуры оказалось, что треть отловленных видов это представители семейства Aradidae (30), поэтому исследователям этой сравнительно небольшой группы полужесткокрылых можно рекомендовать пользоваться методом барьерных ловушек. Несмотря на то, что такие ловушки большей частью рассчитаны на отлов дендробионтов, так как располагаются под пологом древеснокустарниковой растительности, клопыобитатели этого яруса в нашем случае составляют всего 30 от общего числа отловленных полужесткокрылых. В целом доля отряда Heteroptera от общего количества насекомых в улове менее 1. Таким образом, метод барьерных ловушек подходит для исследования фауны дендробионтных полужесткокрылых, при условии изучения остального собранного материала или при применении щадящих методов отлова. The goal of the study was to determine taxonomic composition as well as ecological and faunistic features of tree species of true bugs (Insecta, Heteroptera). Insects were caught using barrier traps in two bordering regions of Russia, Ryazan Region and the Republic of Mordovia. The samples were collected during a period of four years (2013 2016). A total of 65 species of Heteroptera were collected, 20 of which were dendrobionts. Six new for the region dendrobiont species were found in the Mordovskiy Nature Reserve: Aradus obtectus, Aradus betulinus, Phylus coryli, Pilophorus clavatus, Orius horvathi, and Miris striatus. Also, we collected two species included in the Red Data Book of the Republic of Mordovia: Himacerus apterus and Zicrona caerulea. Almost half of the identified species are predators that regulate abundance of harmful insects. Among collected species, only Aradus сinnamomeus is a harmful phytophagous species. True bugs of Aradidae amounted 30 of totalcollection. Therefore, the barrier trap method can be recommended to use for researchers of this group of Heteroptera. In total, Heteroptera comprised less than 1 of the collected insects. The barrier trap method can be used for studying of dendrobiont Heteroptera, provided that other collection methods are also used. There are naturesaving trapping methods that are of current interest to protected areas.

Thirteen lichen species proposed for the Red Data Book of Republic of Ingushetia on based of the results of author's field works and analysis of literature information. Among them, three species are included in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation (Leptogium burnetiae, Lobaria pulmonaria, Usnea florida). Ten lichen species are rare and vulnerable due to the state of populations in the Republic of Ingushetia at the current time (Hyperphyscia granulata, Melanelixia albertana, Neo-catapyrenium rhizinosum, Parmotrema stuppeum, Peltula bolanderi, Phaeophyscia cernohorskyi, Phaeophyscia insignis, Punctelia borreri, Thalloidima toninianum, Usnea cavernosa). Information on distribution in the republic, ecology and proposed categories of the threatened are given. Most of the species (10) were proposed to be included with «Near Threatened» category, 1 species (Leptogium burnetiae) with «Critically Endargered», 1 species (Lobaria pulmonaria) with «Data Deficient» and 1 species (Usnea florida) with «Least Concern».
