From November 18 to 23, 2024, the Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences will hold a school for students, postgraduates and young scientists "Methods for studying nutrition and digestion in poikilothermic animals (Trophoschool-24)". The classes are organized by the staff of the Laboratory of Evolutionary Trophology, created at the institute three years ago and headed by the Spanish researcher Gisbert Enric Cassas. The laboratory studies the features of the digestive system of ectothermic animals: fish, amphibians and reptiles - their nutrition, trophic adaptations, relationships between parasites and hosts and the diversity of enteral microbiota. The laboratory staff will talk about the results achieved, give lectures and conduct practical classes, from which school visitors will learn how trophic differentiation of different species in ecosystems occurs, which bacteria and archaea are part of the enteric microbiota and what function they perform, how digestion occurs in herbivorous and carnivorous species and what can be done to improve the quality of food for species bred in captivity.
During practical classes, students will learn about methods for studying the morphology of the oral apparatus of animals, learn methods of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, methods of DNA extraction, and much more. The program can be found in the appendix.
Classes will be held from 10:00 to 18:00 with a lunch break. Classes will be both in-person, including lectures and practical classes, and correspondence - lectures via online platforms. Participation in the school is paid: in-person - 5,000 rubles, correspondence - 1,000 rubles.
Registration will be available after October 29, 2024, which will be announced on the IEE RAS website in the "News" section.
