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 ocean depths are the last natural refuge of biodiversity virtually untouched by human activity. Deep-sea sharks and rays are among the marine vertebrates most sensitive to overfishing.
Coral reef ecosystems are famous for their richness and diversity; from time immemorial, they have provided food and other resources to millions of people living in tropical countries.
On March 4, TASS hosted a press conference dedicated to “World Wildlife Day 2024: Digital Innovation” and dedicated to the official opening of the International Year of Camelids in Russia.
Currently, a wide range of software of varying degrees of complexity and economic availability is offered for recording the behavior of experimental animals.
As part of the International Exhibition and Forum "Russia", the Rosneft company presented its new program for the study and conservation of bioindicator species of the Arctic region.
This work represents the first study of morphological abnormalities (i.e., teratology) in I. lividus, and the findings are the first for this tick species.
A collective monograph has been published, the basis of which is information on the diversity and structure of hydrobiont communities in artificial reservoirs.
Scientists from the IEE RAS, as part of a consortium of researchers, have found the influence of increased anthropogenic impact on herbaceous ecosystems and the organisms in them.
Russian Wildlife portal contains recordings from camera traps installed in Russian nature reserves and national parks, photographic materials, as well as the most important news.
In 2023, an article was published by employees of the IEE RAS A.B. Savinetsky and O.A. Krylovich in collaboration with archaeologists, dedicated to controversial issues related to the early history of the city of Smolensk.
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.

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.
