logical invasion is the introduction of alien organisms into new regions of the planet. A new type of biological invasion was described when studying the macroecology of the freshwater red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans), which is native to North America.
The Asian mollusk Corbicula fluminea is one of the most successful invaders in freshwater ecosystems. They settled far beyond the borders of East and Southeast Asia - their native range - and spread in the waters of North, Central and South America and in Europe.
Researchers from IEE RAS, Ph.D. E.Yu. Krysanov and Ph.D. S.A. Simanovsky, together with colleagues from France, Canada, and the Czech Republic, studied the differentiation of karyotypes in the group of Nothobranchius ugandensis, which includes 12 valid species.
Understanding the nature of interactions between different ecological and taxonomic groups of living organisms in ecosystems is the most important task of ecology.

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.
