The tochno.st (rus. `to be exact`) platform published a large article about beavers and their impact on cities and ecosystems.
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.
During the course, participants will learn interesting facts about the Arctic's ruler, its behavioral characteristics, and the species' origin story.
The team's primary goals are to study the biodiversity, structure, and functions of Mongolia's aquatic ecosystems.
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.
Current methods for assessing stress in animals rely primarily on data collected from males of model rodent species.
