Annual pollen traps reveal the complexity of climatic control on pollen productivity in Europe and the Caucasus
2010
Annual PAR (pollen accumulation rates; grains cm−2 year−1) were studied with modified Tauber traps situated in ten regions, in Poland (Roztocze), the Czech Republic (two regions in Krkonoše, two in Šumava), Switzerland (4 regions in the Alps), and Georgia (Lagodekhi). The time-series are 10–16 years long, all ending in 2007. We calculated correlations between pollen data and climate. Pollen data are PAR summarized per region (4–7 traps selected per region) for each pollen type (9–14 per region) using log-transformed, detrended medians. Climate data are monthly temperature and precipitation measured at nearby stations, and their averages over all possible 2- to 6-month windows falling within…
Introduction to the study of the bryological flora of the Batumi Botanical Garden (Georgia)
2021
A preliminary list of 22 bryophytes growing in the Batumi Botanical garden is provided. From chorological point of view, temperate and boreo-temperate taxa prevail while with regard to ecological behaviour, mesophilous taxa are the most numerous and with respect to light requirements equivalently sciaphilous and eliophilous taxa are represented. The mosses Fissidens dubius and Cyrtomnium hymenophylloides are recorded for the first time in Georgia.
Ingvar the Far-Travelled: between the Byzantium and Caucasus. A Maritime Approach to Discussion
2019
The Journey to the East of the Viking Ingvar the Far-Traveled is one of the events that fit into the history of medieval relations of the Scandinavians with the world of Byzantium. It was a fateful expedition taking place between 1036 and 1041, and to this day it is a source of many controversies and speculations of researchers. The findings of the present paper suggest that the journey did not necessarily proceed to the lands of the Saracens or Byzantium but may have been part of the game played by Constantinople with its ally Tmutarkan, which opposed Jaroslav the Wise, these events unfolding in the north-eastern waters of the Black Sea.
Short-term occupations at high elevation during the Middle Paleolithic at Kalavan 2 (Republic of Armenia).
2021
The Armenian highlands encompasses rugged and environmentally diverse landscapes and is characterized by a mosaic of distinct ecological niches and large temperature gradients. Strong seasonal fluctuations in resource availability along topographic gradients likely prompted Pleistocene hominin groups to adapt by adjusting their mobility strategies. However, the role that elevated landscapes played in hunter-gatherer settlement systems during the Late Pleistocene (Middle Palaeolithic [MP]) remains poorly understood. At 1640 m above sea level, the MP site of Kalavan 2 (Armenia) is ideally positioned for testing hypotheses involving elevation-dependent seasonal mobility and subsistence strateg…
The mantids of Caucasus.
2008
The male of Hierodula trancaucasica Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878, is described here. The external morphology and shape of genitalia are analysed. A comparison with previous data and some biogeographical considerations on Paramantini are given.
Islāma vēsture, atmoda un radikalizācija Ziemeļkaukāzā 20.-21.gs.
2022
Bakalaura darba “Islāma vēsture, atmoda un radikalizācija Ziemeļkaukāzā 20.-21.gs.” mērķis ir iepazīstināt lasītāju ar Islāma pagrieziena punktiem vēsturē Ziemeļkaukāza reģionā, kā arī izprast kāda ir tagadēja reliģiska situācija reģionā un kādi ir tās cēloņi un vēsture. Darba pirmajā nodaļā tiek aprakstīta situācija reģionā pirms islāma un arābu iekarojumiem. Šajā nodaļā arī tiek izklāstīta islāma vēsture, kā reliģija ienāk reģionā un kā izplātās. Darba otrajā nodaļā tiek skaidroti islāms Padomju laikā un atmodas cēloņi Ziemeļkaukāza reģionā. Tāpat tajā tiek aplūkotas PSRS valdības attiecības pret musulmaņiem un islāmu kopumā. Kā arī tiek apskatīts kā musulmaņi dzīvoja PSRS, kā mainījās re…
