CLASSIFICATION OF THE CELERY FAMILY APIACEAE LINDL. 1836 (UMBELLIFERAE JUSS. 1789) IN MONGOLIA

The classification position of Celery family Apiaceae Lindl. (Umbelliferae Juss.) in Mongolia is revised here. 76 species and 39 genus are included in this family. Also distribution data each species of this family in Mongolia are given

THE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM OF THE FAMILY APIACEAE IN THE FLORA OF MONGOLIA

At present time is family Apiaceae consists of 74 species and 37 genera, 5 sub-tribes belong to 12 tribes (4 clades) and 2 sub-families (Saniculoideae and Apioideae) disjunctly distributed in the Mongolian flora. We updated classification system of the family Apiaceae in the flora of Mongolia

ADDITIONS TO THE VASCULAR FLORA OF MONGOLIA - III

The paper presents the updates on the new species; new regional and new location records since the treatment for “Conspectus of the vascular plants of Mongolia” (Urgamal et al. 2014) listed as new for the Mongolian floristic novelties and reported as well. This article includes the data on new species records for 33 species (2 subspecies and 1 varietes) included 20 genera and 14 families to the vascular flora of Mongolia. One genus (Matthiola) has been added as new to the flora of Mongolia. An annotated checklist of vascular plant species and phytogeography for Mongolia is given. The most made additions of the number of species of following families and genera: Ranunculaceae (12 species), Rosaceae (6 species), Brassicaceae (3 species) families and Potentilla (6 species), Ranunculus (4 species), and Aquilegia (3 species). The most made additions to the following phyto-geographical regions of Mongolia are: Mongolian Altai (11 species), Khentei (10 species) and Khangai (4 species) regions. The includes to new records for 10 species are as “sub-endemic“and one species as “very rare” to the vascular flora of Mongolia

Additions to the vascular flora of Mongolia - IV

The article presents updates on the new species recorded in the “Conspectus of the Vascular Plants of Mongolia” (Urgamal et al. 2014), and three articles published “Additions to the Vascular Flora of Mongolia – I, II, III (2013, 2014, 2016)” listed as new for the Mongolian floristic novelties and reported as well. The aim of this article is to officially report new records for vascular plants from Mongolia, and this includes the data in total, 28 species (with 2 infraspecies) from 19 genera and 12 families. In addition, Cerastium alpinum, Dianthus repens, Draba alpina, Eritrichium tianschanicum, Gastrolychnis violascens, Iris oxypetala, Papaver chakassicum, Papaver lapponicum, Potentilla turczaninowiana, Stellaria depressa (10 species) were newly recorded in the list of vascular flora of Mongolia. The newly added species come under the following families and genera: Caryophyllaceae (5 species), Ranunculaceae (4 species), and Rosaceae (4 species) families and Potentilla (4 species), Geranium (3 species), and Iris (3 species) genera. The most recent additions to the following phyto-geographical regions of Mongolia are: Mongolian Altai (9 species), Khovd (7 species), and Khangai (6 species) regions. At present, 3191 taxa (including 134 subspecies and 34 varieties) of vascular plants, representing over 684 genera from 108 families, 39 orders, 12 classes, includes 5 divisions, and 3 superclades (Ferns, Gymnospermae and Angiospermae) are registered in Mongolia. Since the last conspectus (Urgamal et al. 2014) was published, 1genera, 64 species and subspecies have been newly added to the flora of Mongolia. The newly recorded 5 species are “endemic“and 9 species are “sub-endemic” to Mongolia. Therefore, currently a total of 125 species (3.91%) are “endemic”, and 532 species (16.65%) are “sub-endemic” to the vascular flora of Mongolia, respectively

Phylogenetic conservatism and biogeographic affinity influence woody plant species richness–climate relationships in eastern Eurasia

Mechanisms underlying species richness patterns remain a central yet controversial issue in biology. Climate has been regarded as a major determinant of species richness. However, the relative influences of different evolutionary processes, (i.e. niche conservatism, diversification rate and time for speciation) on species richness–climate relationships remain to be tested. Here, using newly compiled distribution maps for 11 422 woody plant species in eastern Eurasia, we estimated species richness patterns for all species and for families with tropical and temperate affinities separately, and explored the phylogenetic signals in species richness patterns of different families and their relationships with contemporary climate and climate change since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). We further compared the effects of niche conservatism (represented by contemporary‐ancestral climatic niches differences), diversification rate and time for speciation (represented by family age) on variation in the slopes of species richness–climate relationships. We found that winter coldness was the best predictor for species richness patterns of most tropical families while Quaternary climate change was the best predictor for those of most temperate families. Species richness patterns of closely‐related families were more similar than those of distantly‐related families within eudicots, and significant phylogenetic signals characterized the slopes of species richness–climate relationships across all angiosperm families. Contemporary‐ancestral climatic niche differences dominated variation in the relationships between family‐level species richness and most climate variables. Our results indicate significant phylogenetic conservatism in family‐level species richness patterns and their relationships with contemporary climate within eudicots. These findings shed light on the mechanisms underlying large‐scale species richness patterns and suggest that ancestral climatic niche may influence the evolution of species richness–climate relationships in plants through niche conservatism.publishedVersio

An Update of the Family-Level Taxonomy of Vascular Plants in Mongolia

A new comprehensive checklist of Mongolian vascular plant families includes descriptions of all accepted plant families, each with a basionym, homonym, and full list of synonyms. The list is a completely revised update of GUBANOV’s conspectus (1996) of the Mongolian flora. The currently list covers a total of 3,113 species, subspecies and 683 genera, 112 families of vascular plants, belonging to 39 orders, 14 classes or clades and 5 divisions of the vascular plants in the flora of Mongolia

ОТБОР ТЕКСТОВ ДЛЯ РАЗВИТИЯ МЕЖКУЛЬТУРНОЙ КОМПЕТЕНЦИИ МОНГОЛЬСКИХ СТУДЕНТОВ-ФИЛОЛОГОВ

Texts in a foreign language on the employment of foreign language serve as a basic component of learning in the Mongolian audience. However, the problem of selection of texts for the formation of intercultural competence has not yet found a strong response. The article describes the principles and criteria for the selection of text material forming intercultural competence in teaching reading Russian language Mongolian students-philologists. It highlights the general and specific principles, based on the analysis of the survey research scientists and Mongolian students.Тексты на иностранном языке на занятии иностранного языка выступают в качестве базового компонента обучения в Монгольской аудитории. Однако, проблема отбора текстов для формирования межкультурной компетенции пока не нашла решительного ответа. Статья посвящена описанию принципов или критерий отборов текстового материала формирования межкультурной компетенции при обучении чтения русского языка монгольских студентов – филологов. В ней выделяются общие и специфические принципы, основанных на анализе исследования ученых и анкетирования монгольских студентов
