CURRICULUM VITAE of ANDREI V. ZINOVIEV Date of Birth: 10.10.1969 CURRICULUM VITAE OF ANDREI V. ZINOVIEV Date of Birth: 10.10.1969 Work: 107143, Moscow, Vavilova str., 7 Phone: +7(495)7729590 add. 15475 Email: [email protected] RESEARCH INTERESTS My primary research interest focuses on morpho-functional study of avian and dinosaurian hind limbs, with special attention to biomechanical interpretation of morphological characters. Data thus obtained and coupled with field studies is used for reconstruction of adaptive evolution of modern and extinct avian groups and their closest relatives. The other research relates to fields of archaeozoology and archaeoanthropology. A rich material from archaeological excavations of Tver, Tver region and adjacent areas is identified and evaluated. Special attention is paid to the human dental system and relation of its state to diet. Questions of modern evolution theory (primarily synthetic) are of particular interest. Theoretical aspects of adaptive evolution and its role in speciation are researched.

    THESE Présentée devant l’Université de Strasbourg pour l’obtention du DOCTORAT DES UNIVERSITES Ecole Doctorale des Sciences de la Vie et de la Santé Discipline : Physiologie et Biologie des Organismes et des Populations par Laetitia BECKER Etude du relâcher de loups (Canis lupus lupus) en Russie : méthodes d’élevage, modélisation d’habitat, dispersion et survie Soutenue le 30 septembre 2011 devant la commission d’examen : Pr.

C‟est à toi qui « annonce la paix » que je dédie ce labeur, Dont nous aurons vécu ensemble les dernières heures. Sache que ta venue toute proche me comble de bonheur ! Résumé : Etude du relâcher de loups (Canis lupus lupus) en Russie : méthodes d’élevage, modélisation d’habitat, dispersion et survie Les réintroductions et translocations d‟animaux dans la nature sont effectuées depuis longtemps par l‟homme, souvent pour des raisons cynégétiques ou parfois par accident. Avec l‟extinction d‟espèces, ces méthodes, avec pour but ultime le renforcement des populations, sont devenues un sujet attrayant en biologie de la conservation. Elles ont été utilisées avec succès chez différentes espèces de mammifères et d‟oiseaux. Cependant, en ce qui concerne les grands carnivores, potentiellement dangereux pour l‟homme et le bétail, peu d‟études se sont intéressées à la faisabilité de réintroduction de prédateurs élevés en captivité. Afin de tester l‟efficacité de réintroduction du loup gris, j‟ai étudié les 64 individus élevés et relâchés à la Station Biologique « Chisty Les » (Toropestky raion, Tverskaya oblast, Fédération de Russie) depuis 1993.

  • Tver If You Are on the Group Flight, You Will Be Met at the Airport by Your RLUS Representatives
    Your Arrival in Tver If you are on the group flight, you will be met at the airport by your RLUS representatives. There may be many students coming through all at once, so please be patient. You will then be taken to Tver in a minibus provided by the university, and will be taken to your accommodation. The journey to Tver is relatively short - approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes depending on traffic. If you are not travelling with the RLUS group flight, you will be expected to make your own way to Tver and to your accommodation. We will provide you with your address and transport information in this case. Public transport from the airport is reasonably-priced and easily navigable. All Moscow airports have a train service to the city, called Aeroexpress. The train costs 500 roubles and takes approximately 45 minutes to get to the city, depending on which airport you arrive at. When you arrive at the station, follow the signs to the metro, which is characterised by a big red M. You can buy tickets from the ticket office inside. Once you arrive into central Moscow, you can take an elektrichka train to Tver – these are small, local trains for which you do not need to buy a ticket in advance. You’d better take a local high-speed train called “Lastochka” Moscow – Tver. It takes 1 hour and 40 min. to get to Tver. It costs 535 roubles. You should buy a ticket at a railway station cash desk or from machines at the train station.

  • Information for Persons Who Wish to Seek Asylum in the Russian Federation
    INFORMATION FOR PERSONS WHO WISH TO SEEK ASYLUM IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in the other countries asylum from persecution”. Article 14 Universal Declaration of Human Rights I. Who is a refugee? According to Article 1 of the Federal Law “On Refugees”, a refugee is: “a person who, owing to well‑founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of particular social group or politi‑ cal opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country”. If you consider yourself a refugee, you should apply for Refugee Status in the Russian Federation and obtain protection from the state. If you consider that you may not meet the refugee definition or you have already been rejected for refugee status, but, nevertheless you can not re‑ turn to your country of origin for humanitarian reasons, you have the right to submit an application for Temporary Asylum status, in accordance to the Article 12 of the Federal Law “On refugees”. Humanitarian reasons may con‑ stitute the following: being subjected to tortures, arbitrary deprivation of life and freedom, and access to emergency medical assistance in case of danger‑ ous disease / illness. II. Who is responsible for determining Refugee status? The responsibility for determining refugee status and providing le‑ gal protection as well as protection against forced return to the country of origin lies with the host state. Refugee status determination in the Russian Federation is conducted by the Federal Migration Service (FMS of Russia) through its territorial branches.

  • Nyctereutes Procyonoides), an Alien Species in the Baltic Region
    Turkish Journal of Zoology Turk J Zool (2016) 40: 933-943 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/zoology/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/zoo-1502-34 Genetic characterization of the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), an alien species in the Baltic region 1, 1 1 2 Algimantas PAULAUSKAS *, Loreta GRICIUVIENĖ , Jana RADZIJEVSKAJA , Vaclovas GEDMINAS 1 Department of Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania 2 Kaunas Tadas Ivanauskas Museum of Zoology, Kaunas, Lithuania Received: 20.02.2015 Accepted/Published Online: 07.07.2015 Final Version: 06.12.2016 Abstract: The raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides is a newly established alien species in Europe that spread rapidly into many European countries. They were introduced into Latvia, Estonia, and Belarus. Lithuania has been colonized by immigrants from neighboring countries (Belarus and Latvia) and since 1960 the species has occupied the whole country. The data on genetic diversity of the raccoon dog are rather limited, and not all parts of the Baltic region have been covered by previous analyses. In order to compare the level of genetic diversity and describe phylogeographic patterns throughout the raccoon dog distribution in the Palearctic region, a mitochondrial DNA control region was used, and the current 22 sequences were combined with the sequences from earlier data (n = 32). The analysis of a 540-bp fragment of the mtDNA control region in raccoon dogs inhabiting Lithuania revealed 9 haplotypes with 19 variable positions. The phylogenetic relationships among the haplotypes demonstrated the presence of two haplogroups. The patterns of molecular genetic variation in raccoon dogs from Lithuania obtained in the present study indicated higher genetic diversity of these animals as compared with those from West Europe, but lower genetic polymorphism as compared with raccoon dogs introduced to the European part of Russia.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

THE REPUBLIC OF NOVGOROD (‘ LORD NOVGOROD THE GREAT," Gospodin Velikii Novgorod, as it once called itself, is the starting-point of Russian history. It is also without a rival among the Russian city-states of the Middle Ages. Kiev and Moscow are greater in political importance, especially in the earliest and latest mediaeval times-before the Second Crusade and after the fall of Constantinople-but no Russian town of any age has the same individuality and self-sufficiency, the same sturdy republican independence, activity, and success. Who can stand against God and the Great Novgorod ?-Kto protiv Boga i Velikago Novgoroda .J-was the famous proverbial expression of this self-sufficiency and success. From the beginning of the Crusading Age to the fall of the Byzantine Empire Novgorod is unique among Russian cities, not only for its population, its commerce, and its citizen army (assuring it almost complete freedom from external domination even in the Mongol Age), but also as controlling an empire, or sphere of influence, extending over the far North from Lapland to the Urals and the Ob.
