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.

Writing a scientific article in English is a task that can sometimes be challenging even for experienced researchers. Good data doesn't guarantee a successful publication: you need skills in structuring the text, clearly presenting the results, and understanding what journal editors expect. Mastering all of this on your own is challenging—and that's where this intensive comes in handy.
