Russian archaeologists excavated burial-mounds at the South of Kalmykia and found a burial, which is thought to have been made by Maykop people - the mysterious people that lived more than five thousand years ago near the Kuban River.

The indoor temperature is as important factor for marmots as for human beings. Marmots maintain comfortable temperature in the burrow - 18-19 C regardless of the outside weather. How do these animals manage to maintain such microclimate in their habitation? Russian scientists' investigations give the answer to this question.

Plague, rabies, malignant anthrax... These dreadful infections live side by side with us and now and then occur in animal populations. Why does it happen? What controls these dangerous microbes' behaviour, which suddenly start to express their harmful activity?

Breef content: |
Scientists believe that they have known more than 30 'words' from bacteria's vocabulary. For further dialogue with unicellular microorganisms, it is necessary to understand how bacteria use these words for communication. Russian scientists G.B.Zavilgelsky and I.V.Manukhov have made a review of the latest achievements in this field.
