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.
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.
