The scientists introduced the students to the Institute's work and then conducted three scientific sessions featuring interactive and hands-on activities.

On the day they retired to their burrows, some individuals emerged for only a few minutes before remaining underground until the following spring.

The project's success has been proven over time: the released tigers not only survived and hunted successfully but also formed families and produced offspring.

The collection features fairy-tale characters, imaginative scenes, watercolors, and pencil sketches.

The exhibition tells the stories of women who, defying the odds, not only pursued science—a field considered the domain of men—but also left a significant mark on history.

Fourteen researchers from Voronezh, Grozny, Moscow, Tomsk, Ufa, and Khanty-Mansiysk participated in the summer field school.

IEE RAS together with the other organizations is participating in the implementation of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources' strategy to conserve the Okhotsk Sea population of bowhead whales.

Scientists have identified a critical threshold: if a coral's volume exceeds approximately 0.3–0.7 liters (equivalent to 6–12 months of growth in a nursery), it is already home to adult crabs and is reliably protected.

PDF versions of the Zoological Journal issues for the first half of 2026 are posted on the Institute's website.

During the expeditions, all currently known habitats of freshwater microgastropods of the family Hydrobiidae in the Russian part of the Caucasus were visited, providing the most comprehensive picture of their distribution in the region.

The obtained results highlight the importance of molecular methods in modern taxonomy and biogeography, especially when studying morphologically similar organisms.

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.

Specialists regularly collect samples from the installed traps.

The discovery of rare and vulnerable bird species within the city limits highlights the importance of preserving and developing natural areas.

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.

To prevent similar catastrophes in other bodies of water, it is important to monitor the presence and abundance of invasive species.
