Scientists will share personal stories of their scientific research and professional challenges with schoolchildren and their parents through lectures, master classes, and interactive sessions.
The results demonstrate large-scale disturbance of forest stands and a fundamental rearrangement of the structure and functional composition of forest communities under the influence of climate change.
The exhibition featured booths from 806 manufacturers from 27 countries. The exhibition was attended by over 23,000 visitors from 65 countries and 87 regions of Russia.
In a world where it seems everything has already been discovered and studied, a true living relic lurks in the harsh deserts of Central Asia: the planet's last wild Bactrian camel.
Unusually warm December weather in Moscow changed the rhythm of life for Moscow's beavers. They had more time to prepare for winter and successfully complete their fattening period.
Forest fragmentation - the division of continuous forest tracts into separate, isolated areas - poses a serious threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functions.
The study was conducted on two adjacent sites: a former pasture that retained the features of a natural meadow, and an abandoned cropland where vegetation rapidly transitioned to a young forest.
Genetic analysis demonstrated that the discovered population was not the product of an accidental introduction, but rather represents an original genetic lineage.
Kristina Ordzhonikidze, one of the authors of the experiment and a geneticist at the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences, spoke about the problem.
A new study conducted in the forests of the Tver region has shown that, under different forest management patterns, the overall abundance of soil invertebrates can remain unchanged.
We invite you to participate in the 5th International Conference "Preservation and Enhancement of Genetic Resources of Microorganisms" (BRCmicro 2026), which will be held from June 29 to July 2, 2026, in St. Petersburg. The conference is organized by the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg State University (SPbSU), and the All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Microbiology (VNIISKhM). The 2026 conference is dedicated to the 135th anniversary of agricultural microbiology in Russia.
The 7th All-Russian Forum "Greenhouse Industry of Russia — 2026" will be held April 23–24, 2026, in Moscow. The Forum is organized by Agribusiness Magazine.
The Organizing Committee for the Symposium "Alien Species in the Holarctic (Borok-VII)" has received over 280 applications from 68 scientific organizations in 5 countries. We are grateful to all our colleagues who registered!
At the request of participants, the Organizing Committee has extended the registration deadline for the Symposium until June 1, 2026, and has begun accepting abstracts submitted according to the rules outlined in the attached second information letter.

Abstract submission deadline: July 1, 2026.
On Friday, April 17, 2026, at 3:00 PM, an interlaboratory colloquium will be held in the large conference hall of the Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences (33 Leninsky Prospekt) to mark the pre-defense of Nikolai Vladimirovich Bardukov's PhD dissertation.
The A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IEE RAS) invites students and high school students to an Open Day on Thursday, April 23, at 2:00 PM.
The program includes:
- Introduction to the Institute's research areas and the work of its laboratories.
- Presentations by the Director, Head of Graduate Studies, scientists, and graduate students.
- Information about opportunities to apply to graduate school, choose a supervisor for your bachelor's, master's, or dissertation, or participate in research as lab assistants or volunteers.
On Friday, April 10th, at 2:00 PM, an interlaboratory colloquium will be held in the IEE RAS conference hall at 33 Leninsky Prospekt. The Laboratory of Soil Zoology and General Entomology, the Laboratory of Studying Ecological Functions of Soils, the Laboratory of Microevolution of Mammals, and the Laboratory of Problems of Evolutionary Morphology will discuss the pre-defense of Ekaterina Yuryevna Yakovleva's PhD dissertation on "Evolutionary Changes and Phenotypic Plasticity of Drosophila Melanogaster Life Cycle Parameters Under the Influence of Various Environmental Factors" (specialty 1.5.14. - Entomology).
