Did you know weatherfish larvae grow temporary “external gills”? A recent study shows thyroid hormones and fats work together to fuel this transformation - highlighting how hormones drive early development in fish.
Scientists will share personal stories of their scientific research and professional challenges with schoolchildren and their parents through lectures, master classes, and interactive sessions.
The results demonstrate large-scale disturbance of forest stands and a fundamental rearrangement of the structure and functional composition of forest communities under the influence of climate change.
The exhibition featured booths from 806 manufacturers from 27 countries. The exhibition was attended by over 23,000 visitors from 65 countries and 87 regions of Russia.
In a world where it seems everything has already been discovered and studied, a true living relic lurks in the harsh deserts of Central Asia: the planet's last wild Bactrian camel.
Unusually warm December weather in Moscow changed the rhythm of life for Moscow's beavers. They had more time to prepare for winter and successfully complete their fattening period.
Forest fragmentation - the division of continuous forest tracts into separate, isolated areas - poses a serious threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functions.
The study was conducted on two adjacent sites: a former pasture that retained the features of a natural meadow, and an abandoned cropland where vegetation rapidly transitioned to a young forest.
Genetic analysis demonstrated that the discovered population was not the product of an accidental introduction, but rather represents an original genetic lineage.
Kristina Ordzhonikidze, one of the authors of the experiment and a geneticist at the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences, spoke about the problem.
A new study conducted in the forests of the Tver region has shown that, under different forest management patterns, the overall abundance of soil invertebrates can remain unchanged.
From September 14 to 16, the Sirius University of Science and Technology will hold the International Scientific Conference on Ecology and Climate Change — ISCECC. The forum will bring together scientists, experts, government officials, business representatives, and environmental leaders from the BRICS countries, the CIS, Africa, Asia, and other regions.
The A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IEE RAS) and the All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO) invite you to take part in the scientific Conference "Microplastics as the Newest Toxicant of Vertebrates".
The "Word Formula" competition is for authors, popularizers of science and journalists who create fascinating and reliable content about science for a wide audience. For those who are able to tell about complex scientific phenomena, research and discoveries in a truthful, interesting and accessible way.
What will need to be assessed: types of sounds (natural, anthropogenic, sounds of human presence), affective perception (pleasantness, eventfulness, chaos/calmness, etc.), general assessment of the environment, its adequacy to the purpose of the territory.
On Tuesday, September 23, 2025 at 14:00 in the conference hall of the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow, Leninsky Prospekt, 33) a meeting of the council will be held, at which the dissertation for the degree of candidate of biological sciences Anastasia Vladimirovna Stryuchkova will be defended: "Ecological, spatial and genetic differentiation of the species of springtails Parisotoma notabilis sensu lato".
The Russian Microbiological Congress will continue the series of congresses organized by the Russian Microbiological Society together with the leading universities and research institutes of the country.
