Bloodflies are a highly specialized group of ectoparasites in the family Hippoboscidae. They have a worldwide distribution and are vectors of many dangerous diseases in both mammals and birds.
The Assembly of Scholarly Societies was held, dedicated to the 270th anniversary of Moscow University in 2025, the 220th anniversary of the oldest Moscow Society of Naturalists in Russia, and the 300th anniversary of the RAS.
Studying the taxonomic status of different groups of organisms allows us to further study the evolution of different taxa and more accurately predict the features of biology of new species.
On September 24-26, the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Theriofauna of Belarus and Adjacent Regions” was held in Minsk. The conference was attended by employees of the IEE RAS.
Doctor of Biological Science Sergei Eduardovich Spiridonov gave a lecture on “Parasites and Pathogens, Their World, Evolutionary History and Importance for Humans.”
The mountainous part of the Chechen Republic is an amazing land of unique nature of the North Caucasus. Modern scientists know very little about the peculiarities of the functioning of local ecosystems.
Based on the analysis of publications for 2023, more than 900 Russian scientists entered the top 2% of the most cited scientists in the world, including five employees of the IEE RAS.
In June, the remains of a leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) were found on Bolshoy Solovetsky Island. It was transferred to the collection of the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University.
A pheromone is a species-specific substance that is secreted into the environment by one animal, enters the body of another animal of the same species, and causes changes in its behavior or physiology.
One of the most striking biological phenomena is adaptive radiation - the evolution of ecological and phenotypic diversity within a rapidly diversifying line.
From 16 to 26 August 2024, the VII International Field Symposium "West Siberian Peatlands and the Carbon Cycle: Past and Present" was held in Khanty-Mansiysk.
The staff of the Laboratory of Lower Vertebrate Behavior at the IEE RAS has developed a method and manufactured the first working version of a complex for visualizing electric fields of aquatic animals.
Despite significant progress in studying the species diversity of European fish, there are still significant gaps in understanding the taxonomic diversity of this best-studied part of the world.
Specialists from the Northern Eurasian Anseriformes Working Group arrived in Anadyr to continue their census work using small aircraft. This is the third time the ornithologists have flown to the region.
Employees of the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution are providing scientific support for the project to capture, release and monitor the animals.
Andrey Abramov told about how dolphins sleep, how many kilometers they swim per day, whether they save drowning people, and why they might not like your manicure.
What could be interesting about woodlice? They are commonly disliked, and their appearance in the house can hardly please anyone. But someone devotes years to studying these creatures.
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.
The application of documents for post-graduate studies in A.N.Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution RAS in 2020 will take place from 1st to 25th of September. The entrance exams will be held from 1 to 23 October. The results of postgraduate enrollment will be declared from November 1, 2020.

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to register on the new website of the Theriological Society at the RAS.
We hope that the website of the Theriological Society will help unite colleagues, establish new connections between specialists and identify opportunities for cooperation at a distance.
Establishing a connection between specialists
We are creating on the website a database of specialist theriologists of Russia. By registering and filling out your profile, you will help your colleagues find out about you, establish contacts for collaboration or request a publication. After registration, you will be able to search for the necessary specialist by region, object or problem. This section is new for our site. Please fill out your profile!
