On November 29th, Russian Science Foundation announced the results of the Small individual research team projects competition. Through this competition, grants are allocated for basic research and exploratory research in 2023-2024. The grants are up to 1.5 million roubles annually.
The key objective of the competition declared by RSC is to promote thematic areas novel for the research bodies and to build research teams. The stipulated team size is 2 to 4 persons.
The winning RSF small research team projects of applicants from KarRC RAS are:
• «Design and study of mathematical models in aquaculture» (Leader Evgeny Ivashko, Cand. Sci. (Phys. & Math), Senior Researcher, Laboratory of Digital Technologies in Regional Development, Department for Interdisciplinary Research KarRC RAS);
• «Development of hybrid dynamics methods in problems of mathematical modeling of biological communities with variable structure» (Leader Alexander Kirillov, Dr. Sci. (Phys. & Math), Leading Researcher, Computer-based IT Laboratory, Institute of Applied Mathematical Research KarRC RAS);
• «Intrapopulation competition for space: 3D territoriality in song birds in limited-resource circumstances» (Leader Maria Matantseva, Cand. Sci. (Biol.), Senior Researcher, Zoology Laboratory, Institute of Biology KarRC RAS);
• «An integrated study of the natural regeneration of Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. on xylolytic substrate» (Leader Ivan Romashkin, Cand. Sci. (Biol.), Researcher, Laboratory of Boreal Forest Dynamics and Productivity, Forest Research Institute KarRC RAS);
• «Acoustic signaling in birds as a social driver of the nesting ground and breeding strategy selection» (Leader Nikolai Lapshin, Dr. Sci. (Biol.), Leading Researcher, Zoology Laboratory, Institute of Biology KarRC RAS);
• «Molecular-genetic and biochemical indicators in estimating cage-farmed trout growth rates under supplementary illumination during rearing in a southern region of Russia» (Leader Maria Kuznetsova, Cand. Sci. (Biol.), Senior Researcher, Ecological Biochemistry Laboratory, Institute of Biology KarRC RAS);
• «Adapting the double-rotation system of cultivating containerized Scots pine seedlings to a short growing season. Acquiring frost tolerance» (Leader Nadezhda Chernobrovkina, Dr. Sci. (Biol.), Leading Researcher, Forest Biotechnology Laboratory, Forest Research Institute KarRC RAS);
• «Agglomeration effects on economic development of a region at large» (Leader Pavel Druzhinin, Dr. Sci. (Econ.), Head of Department for Regional Development Modeling and Forecasting, Institute of Economics KarRC RAS);
• «The digital divide and local administrations: a view through social media» (Leader Egor Prokopyev, Cand. Sci. (Econ.), Researcher, Department for Regional Development Modeling and Forecasting, Institute of Economics KarRC RAS);
• «Establishing and developing the innovation system of the Russian Arctic under recent development collisions: structural import replacement in a multi-tiered space» (Leader Sergey Tishkov, Cand. Sci. (Econ.), Secretary for Science at the Institute of Economics KarRC RAS).

A successful introduction: the zander has settled down in Lake Sundozero and continues to spread
Scientists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS have published the results of long-term observations over the population of the zander (or pikeperch) introduced to Lake Sundozero more than a half-century ago. They confirm the species has become naturalized. Maintaining the population requires regulation of harvesting, protection during spawning, and tending of spawning grounds.

Ice-related phenomena on rivers emptying into the White Sea now last three weeks less than 60 years before
Ice on northern rivers now forms later while ice-off occurs earlier. Karelian scientists confirmed this having analyzed 64 years of marine and meteorological data from the estuaries of rivers draining into the White Sea along its western coast. Climate change has bit three weeks off the ice-covered period on these rivers. The reductions have been the most significant in the last 30 years, aligning with global warming trends in Arctic water bodies.

Citizen science and web technologies help researchers study insects of Karelia
More than 30 insect species not encountered in Karelia previously have been revealed by entomologists from KarRC RAS during their expeditions and using data communicated by active participants of the iNaturalist portal – an open platform for collecting biodiversity data.
