From August 16 to 26, 2024, an expedition to Lake Baikal took place as part of the Baikal-Evolution-2024 school for young scientists, organized by the Limnological Institute of the Siberian Branch of the RAS.
Scientists from the GC for Chemosensory Research have found that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 and lead to a faster recovery for those who have contracted the virus.
On September 4, Leonid Mironovich Baskin, a zoologist and conservationist, chief researcher at the Laboratory of Mammal Behavior and Behavioral Ecology of the IEE RAS celebrated his 85th birthday.
The leading scientific journal Hydrobiologia has published an article prepared by the staff of the IEE RAS in collaboration with colleagues from Belarus and a number of regions of Russia.
According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, only the most adapted living organisms can survive in the wild, since predators primarily attack weakened or sick animals or those that differ significantly.
How do animals' lives change in the fall? How does hibernation differ from regular sleep? Where do birds fly away? And which animals' brains shrink in the fall?
An expedition to study bowhead whales in the northern Sea of Okhotsk has been successfully completed in Magadan. Among other things, scientists encounter about 15 whales.
An international team of scientists has discovered a new genus and species of polychaete worms in Vietnam and Japan. This marine worm is very similar in appearance to nudibranchs, which have bright, warning colors.
"The Alpina non-fiction publishing house, edited by V.S. Artamonova, a leading researcher at the IEE RAS, has published a book "Dead Lion: A Posthumous Biography of Darwin and His Ideas."
About 800 years ago, the ancestors of the Inuvialuit came to the Mackenzie River Delta (Northwest Territories, Canada), and beluga whales took a central place in their economy and culture.
This year, during the spring and summer, the Central Forest Reserve hosted the filming of the movie "Science of Life" by the "Scientific Film Laboratory" studio.
Scientists from the IEE RAS and the IPAE RAS conducted a study of the daily rhythms of activity of the most common and diverse Arctic terrestrial arthropods in natural conditions of constant illumination.
Mesopelagic fishes, inhabiting the water column in the depth range from 200 to 1000 m, play an important role in the ecosystems of the World Ocean, being an intermediate link in the food webs.
Fish have a wide variety of tumors that can arise from all types of cells. Fish tumors are generally less aggressive and metastasize less often than tumors in mammals.
Pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha is a Pacific semelparous species. The species expanded its range as a result of the invasion into the Great Lakes and introduction to the White Sea basin.
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.
