Hybridisation between chromosomal races of shrews does not lead to emergence of sterile males
One of the model species for studying microevolutionary issues is a small insectivorous mammal - the common shrew, which lives in Northern Eurasia from the British Isles to Yakutia.
Increasing population densities of ecologically and commercially important animal species is one of the main objectives of ecosystem management.
The saiga antelope is a representative of the complex of large herbivorous mammals of the Pleistocene tundra-steppe ecosystem, and at the moment it is the only antelope that has survived in Europe.

Rethinking the role of long-term transitions in modeling population dynamics and predicting species extinction
Predicting extinctions of populations of individual species and sudden changes in the functioning of an ecosystem has long been the focus of attention of ecologists and ecosystem management specialists.
The introduction of animals or plants into new geographic regions has unpredictable parasitological consequences, and can lead to an increase or decrease in parasitic load on local species, or have a relatively neutral status.
Regardless of weight categories, which range from hundreds of grams to hundreds of kilograms, carnivorous mammals remain among the most successful carnivores on our planet.
