SMALL MAMMALS OF THE TAMAN PENINSULA
DescriptionIn the present study, fauna of small mammals of the Taman Peninsula is analyzed. It is shown that the complex of rodents and insectivores inhabiting the study area differs considerably from the adjacent continental areas and is an isolate. Structure of its fauna and population resembles that of the steppe parts of Crimea and, at the same time, North-West NearCaspian areas. Analyses of variation of the D-loop regions of mtDNA in yellow-bellied mouse Sylvaemus witherbyi, as well as certain peculiarities of the species diversity, show the priority of faunal and genetic connections of the Taman Peninsula’s mammal fauna with the North-West Near-Caspian one

METHOD OF SKETCHES IN ARCHAEOGENETICS AND BREEDING OF AGRICULTURAL PLANTS
DescriptionThe issues associated with visualization images of the examined object and the method of sketches or visual notes have been discussed in the article. The images of lagenaria (bottle, shape pumpkins or gourds) in works of art and agrobotanic illustration as a research tool have been selected, with the aim to conduct a visual analysis of the morphological characteristics of bottle gourd for further application of the knowledge gained in archaeogenetics and plant breeding. The article presents images of plants of lagenaria for the period from 1311 to 2014 years. Visual analysis of the morphological characteristics of lagenaria on the basis of visual notes allowed us to identify several key points: the polymorphism of fruits and different duration of the vegetation period, particularly of the reproductive system, which is characterized by different proportions of male and female flowers, the presence of pollinators, night flowering, fruit pubescence on the first stages of development, polymorphism seeds, features maturation based on the size and weight of the fetus. Understanding the range of individual development allows the breeder to submit a complete selection issue, search for new signs will touch the ancient forms of the object, diseases, pests, images which have remained only on the pictures. In our opinion, the method of visual notes can be successfully used in the educational process because it stimulates creativity and cognitive activity of students to search for information about the studied object and its reflection

Description
An approach to the valuation technique of decorative signs Syrian Hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus L.) is suggested. A scale consisting of 15 characters is developed. Each attribute in this scale is evaluated and indexed by the coefficient of the importance of this trait afterwards. General guidance of the evaluation of each decorative feature is given

MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES OF KARPOSPHAERA AND PHILLOPLAN OF SOME PLANTS OF GROSSULARIACEAE FAMILY
DescriptionThe article presents the results of the research of microflora composition of the leaf surface, the surface of fruit and flowers of Ribes nigrum, R. niveum, R . rubrum and Grossularia reclinata. The research was carried out in the seasonal dynamics from 2007 to 2014. The authors used the method of print for isolating microorganisms from plants. For convenience of calculations and contamination comparison of different environmental niches of plants the number of selected microorganisms was counted on the surface of 1 cm2. It was found out in the article that microorganisms on the surface of lamina are distributed unequally. The number of microorganisms on the bottom surface of the foliage in all periods turned out to be higher. The greatest number of microorganisms was recorded in autumn and reaches the highest value in October. The number of microorganisms on fruit surface increased with ripening and was the highest in July. The quantity on the flowers varies considerably throughout the flowering and is represented minimally compared to other plants niches. The study revealed species-specificity of microorganisms and the host plants. At the same time, long-term study of the microflora of plants belonging to one family made it possible to reveal species that are typical epiphytes

MICROBIOLOGICAL LANDSCAPE OF CALVES USING THE NEW LACTULOSE BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE ADDITIVES
DescriptionThe article presents the results of studies on the effect of dietary supplements «Kumelaсt» and «Laсtumin» on the microflora of calves. Prepara-tions stimulated proliferation lactic acid microflora, which depressed proliferation of opportunistic or-ganisms, which prevents the calves from diarrhea

MICROORGANISMS OF PEDOSPHERE AND PECULIARITIES OF THE SOIL COVER OF AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES
DescriptionThe soil by it physical and chemical properties is a poly-dispersed heterogeneous multicomponent unique environment for development of most microorganisms. The soil is the richest natural substrate according to microbial gene fund. Presence of plants and animals in soil maintains it heterogeneous as environment of soil microorganisms, which are main regulators of natural gas composition of atmosphere of Earth, including its macro- and micro-components (including the main "greenhouse" gases - methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide). Recently, the elucidation of these singularities of vital activity of soil organisms has resulted in general conclusion - due to them soil cover serves as a global bio-geo-chemical membrane, through which the exchange of matter and energy between pedosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and main living inhabitants of Earth does its work

TRACE ELEMENTS (Co, Mn, B, Cu) IN SOILS AND PLANTS NATURAL TIMES ARE FOOTHILLS OF DAGESTAN
DescriptionIn the article we have determined the content of Co, Mn, B, Cu in typical soils and basic plant species characteristic of the main soil-vegetation belts the provinces foothills of Dagestan. It was found that the content of Co, Mn, B, Cu in soils and plants, and soil fertility, respectively, increased in the system of natural landscape and vegetation belts of investigated province of Dagestan: steppe belt brown soil → dry steppe dark chestnut soils → forest belt of brown forest soils
