Radiography is one of the most promising methods for non-invasively determining the age of animals. In this study, the researchers applied it for the first time to live rodents from a wild population.
A new study, conducted by researchers from the TIINRD SB RAS and the IEE RAS, summarizes the results of nearly thirty years of fieldwork in the region (1993–2022).
Many soil animals, superficially similar, actually belong to different species. These so-called cryptic or "hidden" species play an important role in soil functioning but remain undetected by traditional research methods.
IEE RAS staff presented their papers at the "Evolutionary Biology" section. Both papers generated considerable interest and discussion, as they examined the survival characteristics of animals in urban environments.
The fox is the largest predator in Losiny Ostrov. Without predators, forest communities are incomplete, so the fox plays a significant ecological role in the urban forest.
For International Maritime Day, Alexander Supin, Doctor of Biological Sciences and chief researcher at the Sensor Systems Laboratory at the IEE RAS, spoke to Kommersant journalists about marine life.
Our planet faces a mounting challenge: it is awash in plastic pollution. Microplastics (MPs), those tiny plastic fragments less than 5 millimeters in size, are everywhere – in our water, soil, air, and even ice.
A scientist's position in the ranking is determined using a formula based on the h-index, number of publications, number of citations, and other scientometric indicators.
A total of approximately 50 people worked on Paramushir, including volcanologists, botanists, ornithologists, entomologists, hydrobiologists, geographers, historians, volunteers.
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.
