Complexes of soil micromycetes in the Chernobyl 30-km zone of the Ukrainian Polesye were studied for 1986-1989 with regard for such ecological parameters as the level of radiation contamination, a particular observation site, depth of soil horizon and season. As a result of the study correlation pleiads of soil micromycete complexes have been revealed with their structure and fungal genera characteristic of such complexes determined. The overwhelming majority of correlation pleiads of fungal complexes are attributed to complex-organized ones and this indicated high radioresistance of mycobiota in the studied, soils. Melanine-containing genera of fungi rank among the first in formation of correlation pleiads of soil micromycete complexes.

Correlations of 12 skull measurements in two European mammal species-the common polecat (Mustela putorius L.) and muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus L.) were examined.

Changes in the levels of endogenous ethanol (EE) and its relation to calcium homeostasis, hypophyseal-adrenocortical hormones (stress) in the body are regarded as a possible role in alcohol motivation and ethanol dependence. The frequency and pattern of alcohol consumption, high alcoholism incidence rates in the family history may consider the Arctic Mongoloids as a group at high risk for alcoholism.
