One of the camera traps, installed in a typical leopard biotope - a broad-leaved forest of oak, hornbeam and other species with glades partially overgrown with rose hips, filmed Khosta at dusk, the usual time of predator activity.
Work on verifying habitat types in this region has been ongoing since 2023 and continues a series of studies previously conducted in the Lesser Khingan.
The task was not an easy one - to confirm the habitation (and, possibly, the origin) of a number of cryobiont (living in the cold) animal species, still considered Arctic, in the mountains of Southern Siberia.
The technique opens up new possibilities for monitoring the effects of climate change in the circumpolar region, combining high accuracy with unprecedented speed of analysis.
The monograph “Marine and Brackish-Water Gastropods of Russia and Adjacent Countries: Illustrated Catalog” is available for reading and downloading on the IEE RAS website.
A Jack Russell Terrier named Zhuzha was taught to search for whales by smell. This is the first time such an experiment has been conducted in our country.
Expedition to count birds listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation confirms the fears of specialists: the species is disappearing in the European part of Russia.
The visit of the Russian specialists attracted a lot of attention, a special report about the work of the delegation was aired on the Chinese Central Television CNR.
The Baikal seal species lives only in Lake Baikal. Due to the specifics of its habitat, this species differs from its relatives and requires separate study.
Unfortunately many countries are still strongly affected by the Corona virus; there are no regular flights and the possibility to gather together many people. We consider it would be unreasonable to hold the Workshop this year. Instead, we want to hold it next year, most likely between the 20th and 30th of May 2021.
Please save the date!
We hope that you and your families are as well as you can be during these challenging times.
