A new study, conducted by researchers from the TIINRD SB RAS and the IEE RAS, summarizes the results of nearly thirty years of fieldwork in the region (1993–2022).
Many soil animals, superficially similar, actually belong to different species. These so-called cryptic or "hidden" species play an important role in soil functioning but remain undetected by traditional research methods.
IEE RAS staff presented their papers at the "Evolutionary Biology" section. Both papers generated considerable interest and discussion, as they examined the survival characteristics of animals in urban environments.
The fox is the largest predator in Losiny Ostrov. Without predators, forest communities are incomplete, so the fox plays a significant ecological role in the urban forest.
For International Maritime Day, Alexander Supin, Doctor of Biological Sciences and chief researcher at the Sensor Systems Laboratory at the IEE RAS, spoke to Kommersant journalists about marine life.
OpenBio-2025 is an already recognized federal-level event that brings together leading specialists, scientists, representatives of biotechnological and biopharmaceutical business, scientists and members of the expert community from Russia and foreign countries. The forum is aimed at developing a dialogue between business, science and the state, stimulating the commercialization of scientific developments and business development in the field of life science. One of the basic components of OpenBio is a conference of young scientists conducting scientific research in the field of life sciences.
