The taxonomic status of Thamnurgus rossicus was evaluated with respect to the morphologically similar T. petzi using genetic markers. Nucleotide data from the mitochondrial COI gene revealed 2.4% variation between the European Alps and Russian steppe populations. The two nuclear DNA markers CAD and EF1á were identical across populations. In view of their similar morphology, genetic composition,...

Abstract The Kungur forest-steppe is the northernmost outpost of European forest-steppe, located in western pre-Urals within boreal climatic zone. co-existence boreal, nemoral and steppe species with relicts endemics results a high plant diversity, making it an important biodiversity hotspot. Under current climate change strong agricultural impacts, rapidly degrading. In order to develop sustai...
