Vsevolod Ivanovich Roborovsky (26 April 1856 – 23 July 1910) was a Russian army officer, explorer, artist, and natural history collector in central Asia. Many species were described on the basis of the specimens he collected and several are named after him including ''Roborovski dwarf hamster, Phodopus roborowskii'', ''Tibetan rosefinch, Carpodacus roborowskii'', ''Adiantum roborowskii'', and ''Cacalia roborowskii''. Biography Roborovsky was born in Saint Petersburg, St Petersburg to a father who came from nobility but little is known about his mother.

Roborovski 88
The Roborovski hamster (''Phodopus roborovskii''), also known as the desert hamster, Robo dwarf hamster, or simply dwarf hamster, is the smallest of three species of hamster in the genus ''Phodopus''. It lives in the deserts of Central Asia, averaging under at birth and and during adulthood. Distinguishing characteristics of the Roborovskis are eyebrow-like white spots and the lack of any dorsal stripe (found on the other members of the genus ''Phodopus''). The average lifespan for the Roborovski hamster is 2–3 years, though this is dependent on living conditions (extremes being four years in captivity and two in the wild). Roborovskis are known for their speed and have been said to run up to 6 miles a night. Distribution and habitat Roborovski hamsters are found in desert regions, such as the basin of the lake Zaysan in Kazakhstan and regions of Tuva, Mongolia and Xinjiang in China. The hamsters inhabit areas of loose sand and sparse vegetation and are rarely found in areas o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tibetan Rosefinch
The Tibetan rosefinch (''Carpodacus roborowskii''), also known as Roborovski's rosefinch, is a species of rosefinch in the finch family Fringillidae. It is sometimes placed in the monotypic genus ''Kozlowia''. It is endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. Its natural habitat is montane tundra. Distribution and habitat The Tibetan rosefinch is found in northeastern Tibet, in the Buckhan Boda Shan, Amne Machin and Kunlun mountains in Qinghai. These birds live among rocky steppes and alpine pastures, in areas with sparse vegetation. Because of its desolate habitat, the Tibetan rosefinch's range is shared with few other birds, aside from Brandt's mountain finch. Behavior Tibetan rosefinches are diurnal. They live mostly on the ground, traveling quickly hopping in search of food. Diet Tibetan rosefinches are ground feeders. They feed mainly on seeds, as well as fragments of flowers including the lousewort (''Pedicularis ''Pedicularis'' is a genus of perennial green root parasite pla ...

Adiantum Roborowskii
''Adiantum'' (), the maidenhair fern, is a genus of about 250 species of ferns in the subfamily Vittarioideae of the family (biology), family Pteridaceae, though some researchers place it in its own family, Adiantaceae. The genus name comes from Ancient Greek, Greek, meaning "unwetted", referring to the fronds' ability to shed water without becoming wet. Description They are distinctive in appearance, with dark, often black Stipe (botany), stipes and rachises, and bright green, often delicately cut leaf tissue. The Sorus, sori are borne submarginally, and are covered by reflexed flaps of leaf tissue which resemble indusia. Dimorphism between sterile and fertile fronds is generally subtle. They generally prefer humus-rich, moist, well-drained sites, ranging from bottomland soils to vertical rock walls. Many species are especially known for growing on rock walls around waterfalls and water seepage areas. The highest species diversity is in the Andes. Fairly high diversity also occ ...
