The article “Challenges and science-based implications for modern management and conservation of European ungulate populations” deals with topical issues in the study, management and conservation of ungulates. Springer commended the articles as “world-changing”.
The paper was prepared by an international team of authors (35 researchers) as follow-up of the International Conference “Ungulates in a changing world – consequences for population dynamics, migration and management” that took place in Belarus. Russia was represented at this large forum by scientists from Moscow, Kirov and Petrozavodsk. Karelian researchers made presentations about the distribution and management of commercial species populations, conservation of rare ungulates, and aspects of semi-free ranging of animals of this group in our region.
The conference discusses issues related to ungulate ecology and management of their populations: changes in distribution and abundance, including climate change effects, migration, genetic studies, conservation of rare species, ungulates as mediators of diseases, demand for closer international cooperation and population monitoring at the intergovernmental level, and other pressing problems.

Breams infected with ligula worms are edible
Biochemists and parasitologists at KarRC RAS studied how the wellbeing and nutritive value of the bream is affected by ligula – a flatworm that can grow to be several times as long as the host fish. To this end, scientists checked a number of crucial parameters in healthy and ligula-infected fish from Lake Syamozero. Analyses show that this parasite, non-hazardous for humans, does not have much effect on the quality of the fish either.
