The participants got acquainted with the main groups of hydrobionts that inhabit continental water bodies, with the structure of the dichotomous identification key, learned to identify algae and cladocerans.
Marine mammals living in various waters are exposed to a variety of hazards, including various types of skin damage and injuries, which can be of both natural and anthropogenic origin.
A team of scientists from the IEE RAS and the IB RAS have jointly traced the pathways of invertebrates falling from tree crowns into the soil food web in temperate forests using an isotopically labeled analogue of arthropod rain.
Researchers from MSUand the IEE RASciences studied the use of rutting calls by male Siberian maral as indicators of individuality and competitive advantages of males fighting for harems of females with rival males.
One of the most pressing issues in modern ecology is the interaction of soil and terrestrial food webs. The former are detrital, that is, based on dead organic matter, while the latter are grazing.
Specialists from the IEE RAS obtained new data during a laboratory analysis of biopsy samples. This year, they continued their research into the planet's most ancient cetaceans in Kronotsky Bay.
At the lecture, the audience was introduced to the heroes and villains of continental water bodies, and the features of their biology and role in communities were described.
More than a year ago in the Bolshoy Thach Nature Park (Western Caucasus) a female leopard named Achipse was released, but her collar stopped responding after a few days.
The IEE RAS staff analyzed the history of the emergence of diversity of cereal flies of the genus Meromyza in the Northern Hemisphere in the Neogene period.
Many animals do not sit still: they settle, migrate, develop new spaces, expand their ranges. Who are they? Where are they from and where are they going?
Pavel Viktorovich spoke about marine litter. According to researchers, almost 50% is containers and packaging made of various types of plastic, fishing gear, textiles and other materials.
Chukmasov Pavel Viktorovich, junior research fellow at the Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences, immersed the children in the world of marine mammals.
As part of the Teachers' Club, which is taking place in the Darwin Museum, Scientific Secretary of the IEE RAS Natalia Yuryevna Feoktistova gave a lecture on the Red Books.
The recent issue of Biology Bulletin published an article which presents the results of work on recognizing saigas in images of the Earth from space using artificial intelligence.
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! You can always return to your personal account to register for the conference and make changes to the data.
