The huge changes in population sizes of Arctic-nesting geese offer a great opportunity to study limitation migratory animals. In geese, seems have shifted from wintering summering grounds. There, the Arctic, climate is rapidly changing, and this may impact reproductive performance, perhaps size both directly (e.g. by snow melt) or indirectly trophic interactions). Dark-bellied brent (Branta bernicla L.) increased 20-fold since 1950s. Its reproduction fluctuates strongly concert with 3-year...

The effects of climate change on oligotrophic rivers and their communities are almost unknown, albeit these ecosystems the primary habitat critically endangered freshwater pearl mussel its host fishes, salmonids. distribution abundance mussels have drastically decreased throughout Europe over last century, particularly within southern part range, but causes this wide-scale extinction process unclear. Here we estimate based historical recent samples from 50 6 countries across Europe. We found...

Abstract Bat migrations have been studied for a long time, but large areas remain poorly explored in this regard. This note reports record migration distance of the Nathusius’ pipistrelle – 2486 km from Russia to French Alps. exceeds previous flight Latvia Spain by 260 km. Hibernating colonies are known Caucasus. However, our data show that can fly much longer hibernating.

Abstract The thick-shelled river mussel Unio crassus is categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, and searching for surviving populations urgent. We surveyed this species in Kaliningradskaya Oblast, a Russian territory lying between Poland Lithuania, where empty shells of had been reported from two rivers. There are at least 125 rivers numerous small streams region, comprehensive survey all these watercourses infeasible, we used method developed surveys freshwater pearl mussels...

Abstract An internationally important population of the freshwater pearl mussel ( Margaritifera margaritifera ) was rediscovered in a small river north‐west Russia. A survey visible mussels 2008/2009 indicated an estimated 40 000 individuals. This is largest currently known Leningrad oblast and comparable with entire some western European countries. The average density 29.6 individuals m −2 middle part river. In four beds maximum densities 1000+ were recorded. Such are exceptional have not...

Least weasels are highly specialized small-rodent predators. Despite the fact that they hypothesized to play an important role in generating lemming cycles, a key process for functioning of terrestrial tundra ecosystem, very little is known about biology these miniature carnivores Arctic. At Mys Vostochny western Taimyr, Russia, least were observed first time during peak 2005, but not two subsequent years with low densities. Here we report observations weasel signs winter nests, body...

Pleistocene Park is a protected area located near the Arctic Circle in Eastern part of Russia. It was established by Sergey Zimov and his team order to perform an experiment on restoration environment that existed there during period. expected low-productivity boreal habitats would be replaced highly-productive grasslands resembling African savanna. This launched 1988, its continuation planned for indefinite future. The territory park surveyed recently actual state characterized.

Résumé « La Russie, la seconde patrie du darwinisme » : cette expression disciple de Darwin, Kliment Timiriazev (1843-1920), servit mot d’ordre aux historiens et biologistes russes jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Toutefois, les diverses versions l’antidarwinisme ne furent pas aussi insignifiantes que l’auraient désiré leurs détracteurs. L’une d’elles soutient ce qui suit organismes vivants posséderaient une prédisposition à varier dans certaines directions, même déterminerait d’abord tendances...
