    Notes: Natural habitat preservation, i.e. the creation and management of Protected Natural Areas (PNAs), is one of the most important forms of biodiversity conservation. The most widespread types of PNAs in Russia are Zakazniks (State Nature Refuges) and Natural Monuments, but unlike Zapovedniks (State Nature Reserves) these types of Russian PNAs are little-known to foreign ecologists. Thus the main attention of this article is given to the problems of Zakazniks and Natural Monuments while other types of Russian PNAs are mentioned briefly. In many regions of Russia, Zakazniks and Natural Monuments are considered to be the core components for the regional protection of biodiversity. Non-Governmental Organizations play an important role in the creation and management of PNAs. The recent sudden change of circumstances in Russia have given rise to many problems which threaten the existence of Zakazniks and Natural Monuments. Possible means of saving these PNAs include: (i) promoting the interest of local people in protecting biodiversity; and (ii) supporting local authorities, and public initiatives and regional programmes in the creation of local PNA networks.

    Description: The dataset comprises full list of species of macrozoobenthos collected from the Pechora Sea (SE Barents Sea). Grab samples were collected from 10 stations in the Pechora Bay from aboard RV Kartesh in 2020-2021. Macrobenthic invertebrates were identified with the maximum level of certainty through optical microscopy using regional taxonomic keys. All taxonomic names were standardised using the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). All specimens have been counted and weighted (wet biomass) on Ohaus Adventurer scales with reported accuracy to 0.01 g. Bivalve molluscs and gastropods were weighed in shells. Biomass (g. m-2) and abundance (ind m-2) are used to characterise macrozoobenthos.

    Description: Effects of increased near-bottom flow velocities on the sedimentary environment and its associated small biota were studied in a long-term in situ experiment at 2,500 m water depth at the Deep-Sea Observatory HAUSGARTEN in the eastern Fram Strait. In 2003, the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) "Victor 6000" was used to install a stainless steel flume of about 8.5 m in length, consisting out of a 6 m long passageway with a cross-section of 50 x 50 cm and 3-4 m wide funnel-like doorways to increase bottom currents by a factor of approximately 6. Sediment sampling for biochemical sediment analyses, bacterial studies and meiofaunal investigations (with special focus on the nematode communities) was carried out four years after the installation of the flume using the ROV "Quest 4000". The data showed clearly reduced values for parameters indicating organic matter (food) availability in the sediments, and corresponding lower bacterial and meiofaunal densities inside the flume, compared to control sites outside the channel. Results suggest that increased near-bottom currents and food deficiency not only diminish sediment-inhabiting meiofaunal assemblages but also alter the meiobenthic composition. Compared to background sediments, the nematode community inside the flume evidently showed adaptations to the overall reduced food availability and a more heterogeneous environment due to generally increased and more turbulent flow velocities. The variable environmental conditions inside the flume have an effect not only on the number of genera present, but also on the identities of the genera and the functional composition of the nematode community.

    Description: Spatial distribution patterns in macrobenthos were studied based on the material collected during the R.V. Polarstern expedition ARK-XXVII/2 in July 2012. Eleven stations along the latitudinal transect at the deep-sea observatory HAUSGARTEN in the Fram Strait were taken at depths of about 2500 m. Macrofauna was obtained using the USNEL box corer. A single core (0.25 m2) was taken at each station and four subcores (0.03 m2) were taken from each core and used for the quantitative analysis. The results suggest that the single highly variable macrobenthic community with the dominance of polychaetes Galathowenia fragilis and Myriochele heeri inhabits the studied area. The prevalence of a mosaic in the community structure with the grain size at least more than the size of a core was detected. However, several abundant species (e.g. the polychaetes Prionospio sp. and Galathowenia fragilis) tend to form patches at the scale less than a core (0.25 m2). Despite the lack of significant differences in species distribution patterns along the latitudinal transect, there is a slight difference in community structure between the northernmost and southernmost stations (~170 km apart), which can be explained by variations in environmental factors (e.g. higher food availability in the northern part of the transect).

    Description: As an expansion of a time-series study on meiobenthos in the Arctic deep sea, the diversity of free-living nematode communities along nine stations along a bathymetric transect was investigated morphologically in taxonomic and functional regards (feeding-type composition, life-history traits, tail-shape composition) and compared with previous studies of the same transect to investigate possible changes in the nematode community composition. Special emphasis was given on the analysis of sedimentary environmental parameters, which are used as proxies for food availability and sediment porosity. Multivariate statistics performed on nematode abundance data revealed a bathymetric zonation into four bathymetric zones: upper bathyal (1300 – 2000 m), lower bathyal (2500 - 3500 m), abyssal (5100 – 5600 m) and an additional ‘outgroup’ consisting of two stations with low nematode densities. Nematode densities generally decreased with increasing depth. Taxonomic diversity (EG〈jats:sub〉(50)〈/jats:sub〉, H’〈jats:sub〉(log2)〈/jats:sub〉, J’) decreased in a unimodal pattern peaking in the lower bathyal zone. A distance-based linear model revealed that 44% of the total variation in nematode abundances could be explained by the measured environmental parameters. Microbial feeders are the dominant feeding type along the transect with increasing dominance in the abyssal zone. The maturity index, a measure of environmental disturbance, decreased with depth, indicating a more colonizer-dominated community in the abyssal zone. Nematodes with long conico-cylindrical tails also become more dominant in the abyssal zone. A previous study of the same transect conducted in 2005 found a similar bathymetric zonation, but with a strikingly different dominant feeding type, i.e. epistrate feeders. Between the 2005 study and the year 2010 we conducted our study, the composition of the plankton community in the Fram Strait changed significantly due to a warm water anomaly in the region. We argue that through bentho-pelagic coupling, effects of this warm water anomaly on plankton communities could be a reason for the drastic change in dominant nematode feeding types.
