The mammal fauna of the city of Luhansk (Ukraine) in the pre-war period (2004–2014) by Igor Zagorodniuk, Marina Korobchenko

“…The urban mammal fauna of Luhansk is characterised by a high proportion of wild species, which is facilitated by the significant dismemberment of the city by a ravine system and the river valley, as well as the presence of large little-transformed areas that was formed due to the development of the city using a modular system (residential quarters) and large areas of private estate-type housing, as well as a number of summer cottages and recreational areas that are part of the city. …”

Mineral composition of bread wheat lines with introgressions of alien genetic material by O. A. Orlovskaya, S. I. Vakula, L. V. Khotyleva, A. V. Kilchevsky

“…Modern bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars developed mainly to increase productivity often contain low concentrations of minerals in their grain. Wild and primitive wheats demonstrate rich genetic diversity, including the content of minerals in the grain, and can be used to improve the wheat gene pool for this trait. …”

Scientific justification of Mycobacterium avium survival in natural environment of Republic of Dagestan by M. O. Baratov, A. R. Mustafayev

“…Mycobacterium avium can grow and replicate in organic wastes from the poultry farms for a long time thus contaminating vast adjacent areas and being the source of infection not only for wild and domestic animals but also for humans. The studies were aimed at the examination of the duration of Mycobacterium avium survival in the natural environment in two geographical regions of the Republic of Dagestan characterized by different soil and climate. …”
