Abstract:

Fieldwork was carried out between 6th June and 10th August 2015 at the western macro-slope of the Polar Urals and the eastern Bolshezemelskaya Tundra, Russia. In the Bolshaya Rogovaya River basin area, only one LWfG pair with five juveniles was located. However, the numbers of Bean Geese were high, with 92 adults and at least 58 juveniles in the same area. In the Polar Urals, Lesser White-fronted Geese were found on the rivers or watershed lakes in June, but repeated observations carried out in July and early August did not confirm the presence of LWfG, but also here many broods of Bean Goose were observed. Altogether, three broods of LWfG were found in one flock. One adult male was caught by a hoop net during fieldwork and equipped with a solar powered GPS satellite transmitter. This male LWfG migrated southwards along the Ob river valley, through Kazakhstan, but instead of crossing over to the western side of the Caspian Sea as expected, he was tracked to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. This is the first time that a Lesser White-fronted Goose has been tracked to this probably very important wintering area which is situated in the border area between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. By 7th January 2016 the bird was still alive and with a functioning transmitter.

Keywords: Pleistocene, paleornitofauna, Quaternary burial, osteological material, Azerbaijan

Abstract:

Binagadi Quaternary burial location is unique and the largest cemetery of World Pleistocene flora and fauna. Since the discovery of an ancient lake in 1938, members of staff of the Museum of Natural History after G. Zardabi together with Russian specialists did a lot of work in the way of systematic definition of species diversity fossil flora and fauna, the results of it were periodically published. Till now paleornitofauna of Binagadi Quaternary burial was represented by 109 species of fossil birds, 22 species were from the order Anseriformes - waterfowl belonging to the suborder Anseres. During the analysis of fossil material (from the old and new excavations) bones of Lesser White-fronted were found. Binagadi brea beds have not been previously described. This article describes the Lesser White-fronted (Anser erythropus L.) of the genus Anser, the tribe Anserini for the sole right ulna. Availability of comparative osteological material stored in the Museum of Natural History after G. Zardabi, allows exact determination of species, cosidering that the fossil Lesser White-fronted by morphological characteristics is not much different from the one which lives in our days.
