The article considers the novel method and device for helminthology and zooparasitology for applied problem, known as the laser spectrozonal lens-less holographic ascariscope/ascarimeter (and consequently the concept approach – laser spectrozonal lens-less ascariscopy or ascarimetry). Our device was approbated using Ascaris lumbricoides cross-section micropreparate/sample for visualization in different spectrozonal channels. It is obvious, that the basic principle of laser-based analysis may be distributed not only as a simple laser ascariscopy and ascarimetry, but in frames of laser holographic, laser fluorescence, laser interferometric, laser speckle imaging (ESPI) and laser velocimetric setup schemes.

The problems of the relationship between the three representatives of the canidae family (Canidae) based on the example of a domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), a wolf (Canis lupus) and a jackal (Canis aureus) are considered. A study using ISSR-PCR on di- and trinucleotide primers (AG) 9C, (GA) 9C and (GAG) 6C, showed that jackals are more genetically diverse than wolves and dogs. According to the spectra of amplification products and the presence of common fragments, jackals are genetically closer to dogs than to wolves. Based on the genotyping of 53 loci, it can be concluded that in the genome of the jackal, the DNA segments flanked by inverted microsatellite repeats are more common than those observed in the genomes of wolves and the domestic dog. The results of studies using ISSR-PCR markers, indicating a high genetic heterogeneity of the jackal population, are consistent with the published data obtained by genotyping at microsatellite loci, as well as the polymorphism of the D-loop of mitochondrial DNA, which also indicate a more pronounced genetic variability Jackals in comparison with dogs and wolves.

The aim of the research activity was to make the inventory of the biodiversity of the marine fish fauna of the State Nature Reserve “Utrish”. The object of the investigation was the fish fauna of the State Nature Reserve “Utrish” within the various type of the genesis and salinity – marine area and the brackish lakes near the coastline. According to the field observations and ichthyoplankton researchthefish species list of the currently dwelling fish species of the reserved water areawas made. In the warm season in the marine area of the reserve the 64 fish species from the 46 genera, from 36 families and 14 orders were reliable confirmed. Near the 60 % of the biodiversity was composed by representatives from the 10 families.Generally, the fish fauna is strongly marked as “marine”; the marine fish are prevailing and amount more than 87 % of the biodiversity. Non- and little migratoryfish amount more than 65 % fish species. The ecological structure of fish fauna according to the type of feeding is represented by the eight ecological groups, predominantly by the benthos feeders. The fish communities’ structure according to the using of the spawning substratum is represented by six ecological groups, predominantly by the pelagophilic fish. Among the fishspecies, registered as a result of our research, one species is listed to The Red Book of the Russian Federation, rour species have protected status in The Red Book of the Krasnodar region; according to the IUCN Red List two species are critically endangered, two species are vulnerable and four species are near threatened.

We consider the results of monitoring of the reproductive populations of 80 species of birds and their mulmtiparametrnaya assessment Guba-Altiaghac areas for 2013-2016. Of these Lip portion 63 has, on a portion 75 Altiaghac species. The reasons lischeniya of repro-induction 19 species of birds in these areas over the past 50 years. The status of all reproductive (S + N) of birds estimated multiparametrnym method. The elimination of the birds over the last 3 years was the focus of the authors.

The article gives the analysis of species diversity and spatial distribution bats on the territory of Sochi national park. There is made the first estimation of bat number of all three ecological groups (troglophil, dendrophilial and sinantropial). By the method of main components is analyzed the populations of karstic cavities of the park and revealed the main factors of its determining. By the application of EcoSim program is shown the not accident of co-occurrence troglophil bats in underground roosts. The global warming conducts to the occurrence and expansion of area in park a new southern species and to growth of winter bats activity. Growth of bats activity in connection with flash box (Cidalima perspectalis) does not restrain still, because the last have very high fertility.
