discriminate analysis
morphological variability
the Black Sea.
The morphological variability of the invader Anadara inaequivalves (Bruguiere, 1789) belonging to Bivalvia was studied in three sections of the Black Sea, including Odessa Bay, the shelf of the Zmeiny Island, and the Danube River delta, by the method of discriminate analysis. A valid difference in the morphological parameters of the shells of the studied mollusks was revealed. The determined coefficients of the functions make it possible to identify mollusks in terms of a set of morphological characters with the accuracy of classification of 100%.

plankton Ciliata
seasonal dynamics
Lake Baikal.
In Lake Baikal, seasonal dynamics of plankton Ciliata development are characterized by several types differing in the intensity of Ciliata development under the ice and in summertime, and also in the composition of their seasonal complexes. Phytoplankton biomass (contribution of the influence 78%) is the main factor influencing seasonal and interannual dynamics of Ciliata development. Temperature influences the composition and abundance of Ciliata in summertime. Interannual variations in seasonal dynamics of Ciliata development coincide with phytoplankton successions.

Results of the study of phytoplankton of Lake Tunaycha (the southern part of the Sakhalin Island) are given in the paper. Seasonal and interannual dynamics of microalgae numbers and biomass are discussed. It has been found that seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton development are characterized by several peaks of its numbers and biomass.

the cooling pond of the Khmelnitskiy NPS.
Centric diatoms of the cooling pond of the Khmelnitskiy NPS were studied by the method of scanning electron microscopy. A total of 19 species of Bacillariophyta represented by 20 infraspecific taxa was revealed. On the whole, four genera (Conticribra, Cyclostephanos Round, Discostella, and Thalassiosira Cleve) and 13 infraspecific taxa of diatoms were found in the cooling pond for the first time. Aulacoseira tenella (Nygaard) Simonsen and Cyclotella marina (Tanimura, Nagumo et Kato) Ake-Castillo, Okolodk. et Ector. proved to be new for the flora of Ukraine. Illustrations, brief morphological description, and distribution in Ukraine are given for each species.

Results of the study of the role of dissolved organic matter in migration and distribution of metals among their complex compounds with organic ligands of surface waters are discussed in the paper. It has been shown that in the reservoirs of the Dnieper River, as well as in some other water bodies, the contribution of metal (Al, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cd, and Co) complexes to their total content in the dissolved state accounted for 65−100%. In this case, the complexes were formed mainly by Al(III), Fe(III), and Cu(II). Thus, the main attention was paid to the study of the influence of the component composition of dissolved organic matter on relationship between the complex compounds of these metals. Water coloration was used as indirect index of the content of humus substances in water bodies of various physical and geographic zones. Its decrease resulted in changes in the component composition of dissolved organic matter. It has been found that in the surface waters of the Forest zone Al(III) and Cu(II) migrate mainly in the form of anionic complexes. The anionic complexes of Fe(III) prevail only in the waters with high coloration. A predominance of Cu(II) in the composition of anionic complexes is typical to water bodies of the Forest-Steppe and Steppe zones. At the same time, the contribution of anionic complexes of Al(III), and especially of Fe(III), essentially decreases with decreasing water coloration.
