New technologies, such as GPS tracking, allow scientists to closely monitor bird movements, helping them understand how the birds use their habitat and which areas are most important for their conservation.
Journalists from the "Ecology of Russia" spoke with Marina Rutovskaya about how the desman was listed in the Red Book, why it is important to promote this animal and the main challenges of restoring the population.
The book is intended for ornithologists, zoologists, ecologists, specialists in aviation and other areas of applied ornithology, and historians of science.
Scientists have discovered that barbs from Ethiopia's Lake Tana have remained virtually unchanged in their feeding habits despite catastrophic ecosystem changes.
The massive accumulation of plastic in the environment necessitates the development of technologies for the efficient and environmentally friendly disposal of plastic waste.
The reasons for studying and preserving biological diversity are numerous. They relate to research into the structure and functioning of biological communities and ecosystems, environmental conservation, economics, and medicine.
Non-native armoured catfish of the genus Pterygoplichthys exhibit high plasticity, which facilitates their spread in the highland rivers of Central Vietnam.
Evgeny Yuryevich is a PhD candidate in biology and the head of the Laboratory for Environmental Monitoring of Nuclear Power Plant Regions and Bioindication at the IEE RAS.
Ultimately, 20 students were selected for the Winter School. These 20 students came from across the country, representing eight cities and 13 universities.
The conference was an opportunity not only to present the results of their research to the wider scientific community, but also to establish new professional contacts with colleagues from other research centres.
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!
