The article identifies relict trees and shrubs common in the forests of the Oguz and Sheki regions, gives their classification by geological periods, and also indicates the species included in the “Red Book of the Azerbaijan Republic”. In the forest ecosystems of the studied areas, from the subtropical, evergreen Poltava flora (mesothermal relics to the Arctic flora of the III period), there are 7 relict species of woody plants belonging to 7 families and 7 genera, of these species 5 are listed in the “Red Book of the Azerbaijan Republic”.

Abstract:

Trisetum spicatum, a widespread arctic and alpine species, is reported for the first time in the flora of Iran. This species was collected from scree habitats above 4000 m a.s.l. of Mt. Damavand (Central Alborz, Alborz range, N. Iran). This new occurrence of the species in the alpine area of Iran highlights the role of high mountains as migration corridors and refugee during interglacial periods. This new record is different from the other species by its habitat characteristics, compact inflorescence and having dense trichomes on whole parts especially on the peduncle.

Abstract:

Fat dormouse (<em>Glis</em> <em>glis</em>) is the only member of the Gliridae family in Iran. It passed interesting evolutionary history in the Hyrcanian old-growth forests as the easternmost part of its global distribution realm. Knowledge about the species’ ecology and biology is necessary to improve the conservation and management of relict forest habitats. Because of its strictly nocturnal activity, nearly all published papers and reports describe dormice habitat affinities based on artificial nest boxes’ installation. For the first time, we studied habitat associations of the

Abstract:

Pilgerodendron uviferum is an endemic Cupressaceae of Patagonia (Argentina) that is restricted to a small group of individual trees, growing in isolated populations (relicts) along its distribution. The main objective was to evaluate the habitat, forest structure, leaf traits, leaf nutrient reabsorption and growth of four relicts (area between 0.3 and 0.86 ha) in the Santa Cruz province (Argentina) to improve the available information for forest conservation purposes. Principal components analysis was conducted to determine the separation between relict populations based on their ecological ch

Genetic methods have recently been used to study beavers at several locations. However, owing to a lack of reference samples from relict populations and alternative names of mitochondrial DNA haplotypes, the ancestry of re-established beaver populations r

Abstract:

Abstract Belčišta wetland is the largest wetland habitat in R. of North Macedonia, located 20 km distance from Ohrid Lake and it is a relict remnant of the ancient Desaret Lake, which existed in this area since the Pliocene. This region hosts an endemic freshwater species of the Balcan Penninsula, Pelasgus minutus, which is threatened by habitat loss. There are intentions of artificial introduction of salmonid fishes in Belčišta wetland to develop the recreative fishery and tourism in this area. Introduction and spread of salmonids is a great risk factor to the survival of the ohrid minnows (P

Abstract:

A survey was conducted in the Northern Temtory and Queensland to determine the distribution, status and habitat use of the recently described Carpentarian rock-rat, Zyzomys palatalis. The species was previously known from two localities in the Gulf of Carpentaria, and this survey added only one new population to its known range. The species is restricted to monsoon rainforest on scree slopes. In the Gulf region this habitat is very limited and highly fragmented. The only areas where suitable habitat exists are in relatively inaccessible gorges where permanent springs provide enough moisture to

A new species of troglobitic false scorpion, Roncus bosniensis n. sp. (Neobisiidae, Pseudoscorpiones), is described from inside an underground habitat, the Jama Pored Puta Pit, nr. Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The analyzed pseudoscorpion proves to differ from all other congeners, but is closest to R. hajnehaj Curcic & Dimitrijevic. It is possible that the subterranean pseudoscorpion analyzed represents a relict of an old tropical faunal pattern of the Mediterranean.

The first species of the genus <em>Triacanthella </em>to be recorded from Africa is described. <em>Triacanthella madiba</em> <strong>sp. n.</strong> belongs to the Southern Hemisphere group of the genus. It is morphologically closely related to <em>T. vogeli</em> Weiner & Najt, 1997 from Chile, and appears to be a gondwanian relict. The new species is also the first <em>Triacanthella </em>recorded from a guano habitat.

Climate change has a significant impact on species distribution, especially for the relict plants. Euptelea pleiosperma is a type of tertiary relict plant. This plant shows a decreasing trend in population size, and it is on the edge of extinction given the background of climate change. Understanding the change in suitable habitats of E. pleiosperma will provide significant academic value for investigating species conservation and sustainable development. According to the 236 distribution records of E. pleiosperma in China, and 11 environmental factors, the optimal model was selected from MaxE

AbstractThe Madagascar spider tortoise Pyxis arachnoides is endemic to the coastal dry forests of south-west Madagascar. In recent years its range has been reduced by c. 71%, with the species now confined to eight fragmented populations occupying a total of 2,464 km2. These remaining populations are facing a significant threat of extinction because of habitat destruction and other anthropogenic pressures. We developed methodology for a line transect distance sampling survey and applied it systematically across the species' range. The resulting distance model estimated a mean density of 226.9 t

This species is a rare and relict for the center of the Caspian-Baltic watershed. In the modelling the maximum entropy method (MaxEnt) was used.
