The work presents molecular genetic analysis and data on the ecology and distribution of the symbiotic polychaete genus Cheilonereis Benham, which is associated with hermit crabs in the southern part of Primorye.

Human activity, which actively influences global processes, has accelerated the movement of habitats of living organisms so much that it allows us to study it in real time.

In the very heart of Chukotka, in the middle of the Anadyr Plateau, just north of the Arctic Circle, lies Lake Elgygytgyn, formed as a result of a meteorite fall about 3.6 million years ago.

Heavy metals are widespread and circulate freely on the ground, in the atmosphere and in water.

Many parasites are able to change the behavior of their hosts to their advantage. This evolutionary adaptation is called "parasitic manipulation".

The half-century anniversary of the book is an integral part of the great scientific history of the IEE RAS, which recently celebrated its 90th anniversary.

Mathematical models in ecology have traditionally focused on asymptotic or long-term dynamics, such as the study of equilibrium states.

Currently, groundwater is considered one of the most unexplored and underestimated, but nevertheless, a key ecosystem in the world.

Based on the results of the work, experts of the project "Russian desman - take care today so as not to lose tomorrow" came to the conclusion that the habitats of the Russian desman need constant protection.

A new study published in the journal Nature has revealed how extreme weather events affect soil microorganisms, offering new insights into the risks associated with climate change.

The aim of the study was to identify the features of the migration routes of the forest bean geese, the patterns of the geographical distribution of migration stops, and to assess the effectiveness of specially protected natural areas.

Freshwater bodies occupy less than one percent of the Earth's surface and constitute only 0.02% of accessible aquatic habitats.

Researchers from the IEE RAS, and other institutes have described for the first time three paralogues of the Foxg1 gene in the oldest living vertebrate, the river lamprey.

Blood-sucking flies of the family Hippoboscidae Samouelle, 1819 are ectoparasites and parasitize birds and mammals.

In December 2024, the award was received by Evgeny Vladislavovich Yesin, who defended his doctoral dissertation “Evolution of malmoid chars (Salvelinus malma complex, Salmonidae) of Kamchatka”.

The ability of parasite clones to infect the host and their growth rate influence the evolutionary success and virulence of the parasite (the harm caused to the host).

When the Red Book of the region is reissued, the new population is planned to be included in the list of protected species.

The staff of the IEE RAS described a new stygobiont species, which inhabits hypogeum biotopes and underground waters of the Abin River basin, located in the southwestern foothills of the Caucasus Range.
