The Marine Mammal Council, the Nature Reserves EcoCenter, and the Clean Seas International Environmental Fund jointly decided to establish Caspian Seal Day.
Brandt's vole is a small herbivorous rodent that inhabits steppe and mountainous regions (up to 2900 m above sea level) of Mongolia, southeastern China and Transbaikalia in Russia.
The conference was held in Moscow from March 19 to 21, 2024. One of the main topics of the conference was the study and conservation of the polar bear and other Arctic mammals.
Parasitic organisms are an integral component of natural ecosystems. The composition of the parasitic fauna reflects the ecological connections of the hosts, the biogeographical features of the region.
The Caspian Sea is the largest closed lake on earth, stretching across two parts of the world - Asia and Europe. It is distinguished by a unique ecosystem that is home to more than 400 endemic species unique to this region.
Within the framework of cooperation between the IEE RAS and NSPU, student Tyutyaeva P.N. completed a scientific internship at the Laboratory of Ecology of Aquatic Communities and Invasions.
Study tested the hypotheses that the discomfort calls of domestic cat kittens vary between individuals, contain sex cues, and may provide information to the mother about the physical health.
Сomputational algorithms for global stochastic optimization and optimal control are widely used in the literature to solve various scientific and applied problems, including ecology and epidemiology.
Employees of the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution RAS and the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology RAS analyzed long-term data for the last 40-plus years.
One of the model species for studying microevolutionary issues is a small insectivorous mammal - the common shrew, which lives in Northern Eurasia from the British Isles to Yakutia.
The saiga antelope is a representative of the complex of large herbivorous mammals of the Pleistocene tundra-steppe ecosystem, and at the moment it is the only antelope that has survived in Europe.
Predicting extinctions of populations of individual species and sudden changes in the functioning of an ecosystem has long been the focus of attention of ecologists and ecosystem management specialists.
The introduction of animals or plants into new geographic regions has unpredictable parasitological consequences, and can lead to an increase or decrease in parasitic load on local species, or have a relatively neutral status.
Regardless of weight categories, which range from hundreds of grams to hundreds of kilograms, carnivorous mammals remain among the most successful carnivores on our planet.
The monograph "Common Hamster Cricetus cricetus (Linnaeus 1758)" prepared by A.V. Surov and N.Yu. Feoktistova in the series of the Russian Committee for the UNESCO Program Man and Biosphere (MAB) "Species of Fauna of Russia and Neighboring Countries" was recently published.

On October 8-10, the NAUKA 0+ festival was held, at which the IEE RAS staff held lectures in schools and in the Shuvalov building of Moscow State University, as well as a round table on the study of sleep. For those who were unable to attend the events, recordings of speeches are available. Photos can be viewed from the link.
Round table on the study of sleep from the leading somnologists of Russia
Leading somnologists discussed the process of a night’s sleep, the formation of dreams, the way the structure of sleep changes with age, how sleep is organized in different animals, how the brain mechanisms of wakefulness and sleep are arranged, as well as discuss the biological clock of the body.
The round table was attended by:
- Mikhail Guryevich Poluektov, Associate Professor, Moscow Medical University. IM Sechenov, Head of the Sleep Medicine Department. Vice President of the National Society of Somnology and Sleep Medicine and the National Society of Children's Sleep Specialists
The International Society of Biometeorology will hold its 1st virtual and 22nd International Congress of Biometeorology, Connecting Our World: Biometeorology 2021, from 20-22 September 2021. The conference will have livestream events, focusing on invited keynote and plenary speakers, with substantial time devoted to collaborative discussions based on poster submissions aimed to accommodate participants across all time zones.
With its virtual format, the primary goal of Connecting Our World: Biometeorology 2021 is to bring together those with interests across the spectrum of biometeorology from all parts of the world at all career stages, to partake in this event and network with current and future colleagues. We hope to encourage participation by making the conference affordable, with registration rates based on country of residence and student status, between USD 10-75 for members, and USD 30-175 for non-members.
Consortium "Microplastics in the Environment" and Tomsk State University invite you to take part in the first All-Russian meeting with international participation on microplastics pollution "MicroPlasticsEnvironment - 2022".
The meeting will look into the results of the research done by Russian scientific groups and international teams on the distribution and circulation of microplastics in the environment. The discussion and workshops of the event will focus on microplastics detection methods.
Consortium will take place at Khakasia, Lake Shira.
Working languages are Russian and English.
