The existence of a waterway between the Paratethys and the Russian Far East is confirmed by recent studies of two groups of crustaceans conducted by researchers from the Zoological Institute of the RAS and IEE RAS.
The event was attended by eight interns (graduate students and staff) from universities, research institutes and fisheries institutions of Borok, St. Petersburg, Syktyvkar, Tyumen, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk.
Global warming increases the aggressiveness of soil fungal pathogens, disrupts the structure of local microbiota, and reduces the suppressive capacity of agroecosystems.
Despite the fact that grooming has been studied for many decades, the extent to which its structure depends on the animal's circumstances has remained unclear.
The results are important for predicting ecosystem resilience, preserving biodiversity, and developing ecologically sound approaches to managing natural and agricultural areas.
The expedition conducted visual counts of seals along the entire shoreline of Lake Baikal and assessed the distribution of the animals in areas with varying levels of anthropogenic pressure.
Over the course of 3 weeks, a team of biologists deployed 50 cameras using a specially developed methodology, detailed in the CAMMON Photo Monitoring Program, published by the Central Forest Reserve.
