This year, Varvara Krolenko, a true master of making sections of biological objects, entered the graduate school of Alexey Alekseevich Kotov.

Biologists have found that two species of crustaceans called water fleas — Daphnia atkinsoni and Daphnia triquetra — independently acquired a crown-of-thorns-like structure on their heads during the course of evolution.

During the depression in the rodent population, colonies of Mongolian gerbils look lifeless, and their alarm cries cannot be heard by humans, since they are emitted in the ultrasonic range.

The participants got acquainted with the main groups of hydrobionts that inhabit continental water bodies, with the structure of the dichotomous identification key, learned to identify algae and cladocerans.

Marine mammals living in various waters are exposed to a variety of hazards, including various types of skin damage and injuries, which can be of both natural and anthropogenic origin.

A team of scientists from the IEE RAS and the IB RAS have jointly traced the pathways of invertebrates falling from tree crowns into the soil food web in temperate forests using an isotopically labeled analogue of arthropod rain.

Researchers from MSUand the IEE RASciences studied the use of rutting calls by male Siberian maral as indicators of individuality and competitive advantages of males fighting for harems of females with rival males.

The population of Atlantic walruses (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus) living on the Franz Josef Land archipelago remains one of the least studied.

One of the most pressing issues in modern ecology is the interaction of soil and terrestrial food webs. The former are detrital, that is, based on dead organic matter, while the latter are grazing.

On October 30, the second meeting with schoolchildren on parasitology was held at the IEE RAS.

Specialists from the IEE RAS obtained new data during a laboratory analysis of biopsy samples. This year, they continued their research into the planet's most ancient cetaceans in Kronotsky Bay.

At the lecture, the audience was introduced to the heroes and villains of continental water bodies, and the features of their biology and role in communities were described.

More than a year ago in the Bolshoy Thach Nature Park (Western Caucasus) a female leopard named Achipse was released, but her collar stopped responding after a few days.

The IEE RAS staff analyzed the history of the emergence of diversity of cereal flies of the genus Meromyza in the Northern Hemisphere in the Neogene period.

Blind tree mice (genus Typhlomys) are an ancient, relict, very exotic and even mysterious group of rodents that live in the mountains of East Asia.

Many animals do not sit still: they settle, migrate, develop new spaces, expand their ranges. Who are they? Where are they from and where are they going?

Pavel Viktorovich spoke about marine litter. According to researchers, almost 50% is containers and packaging made of various types of plastic, fishing gear, textiles and other materials.

Chukmasov Pavel Viktorovich, junior research fellow at the Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences, immersed the children in the world of marine mammals.
