These findings indicate that the quality of plant litter is a key factor in determining the structure of soil food webs.

The results confirm that the camera-monitoring network in the Caucasus has the potential to become an effective tool for the long-term observation of rare species.

The data obtained help plan reef restoration, taking into account not only the corals but also their beneficial cohabitants. This is a step toward restoring not just individual corals but entire living ecosystems.

The program featured a mix of lectures and hands-on activities covering topics such as evolution, ecology, animal behavior, parasitism, climate change, and how organisms live in changing environmental conditions.

The event brought together representatives from conservation organizations and the scientific community, including Anna Yachmennikova, a senior researcher at the IEE RAS and a Candidate of Biological Sciences.

The researchers draw the attention of their colleagues to the taphonomy of freshwater organisms and to promote an integrated approach to studying the history of continental aquatic ecosystems.

Congratulations to Ivan Davydov and his colleagues who worked on the film for their victory in the competition!

This discovery allows for a more accurate assessment of biodiversity in Central Asian water bodies, which is essential for the conservation of rare and vulnerable species.

This publication comprises 29 articles authored by 54 specialists from the Caspian littoral states, who study various aspects of the biology of the Caspian seal and the Caspian ecosystem.

High-tech laboratories - complete with a veterinary unit and an operating room - will soon begin the work of rescuing and rehabilitating rare animals.

In a recent study, researchers from theIEE RAS and the ZIN RAS set out to identify segments of the forest vole genome within the nuclear genome of Aschizomys.

Participating in the Winter School offers an opportunity to explore current scientific challenges, gain practical experience, and network with researchers.

Freshwater cladocerans, often referred to as "water fleas," are a crucial subject for environmental monitoring, serving as indicators for assessing the health of aquatic ecosystems.

Let us wish our honoree continued success!

On October, 2026, during the 17th Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP17) in Yerevan, Armenia, a session titled "Restoring Marine Biodiversity: Scientific and Practical Solutions" took place.

The vocalizations of the great eared nightjar are simple. The only regularly heard territorial call is a loud, two-note "pee-oo" sound, delivered in series.

Congratulations to our colleagues on their success, and we wish them the best in carrying out their projects!

The expedition began in the town of Bilibino, Chukotka, from where the scientists traveled across the Anyuy Highlands to the settlement of Anyuysk.
