Russian Science Foundation announced the results of the grant competition for small separate research teams. Funding is allocated for basic and exploratory research in 2024 - 2025 in all fields of knowledge. The size of one RNF grant is up to 1.5 million RUB annually.
The main objectives of the competition are to promote topics new to the research teams and to build research teams. The team size (project leader included) should be 2 to 4 persons.
Projects by researchers from the Karelian Research Centre RAS supported within the 2023 Russian Science Foundation grant competition in the priority area “Implementation of basic research and exploratory research by separate small research teams” are:
“Development of domestic and inbound tourism in the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation considering local interests and sustainable nature management” (Leader Kondrateva S.V., Cand. Sci. (Econ.), Senior Researcher, Department of Regional Economic Policy, Institute of Economics, KarRC RAS)
“Nematodes as bioindicators of invasive plant species’ impact on northern soil ecosystems (case study of Sosnowskii’s giant hogweed)” (Leader Sushchuk A.A., Cand. Sci. (Biol.), Senior Researcher, Laboratory of Animal and Plant Parasitology, Institute of Biology, KarRC RAS)
“Formation of the population genetic structure of rare ungulate mammal species under growing human impact, case study of wild forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus Lonnb.) in Northwest Russia” (Leader Panchenko D.V., Cand. Sci. (Biol.), Senior Researcher, Laboratory of Zoology, Institute of Biology, KarRC RAS)
“Impact of the Ligula intestinalis cestode invasion on defense mechanisms, reproductive potential, and market value of the bream Abramis brama» (Leader Lebedeva D.I., Cand. Sci. (Biol.), Senior Researcher, Laboratory of Animal and Plant Parasitology, Institute of Biology, KarRC RAS)
We congratulate the project leaders and participants on winning the grants and wish them productive work!

Projects of KarRC RAS researchers supported by Russian Science Foundation grants
Project applications by researchers from the Karelian Research Centre RAS have been supported by Russian Science Foundation grants. They deal with the development of domestic and international inbound tourism in the Russian Arctic, studies on the formation of wild forest reindeer population structure, identification of patterns in the formation of soil nematode communities upon plant invasions, and investigation of cestode invasion in cyprinids.

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.
