After Practice in Haidary - Photos of Various Birds
Photographing birds is incredibly difficult. Although they are the most numerous and most conspicuous vertebrates, they move far too quickly!
After Practice in Haidary - Photos of Various Amphibians and Reptiles
During practice I had to photograph both amphibians and reptiles. A number of photographs accumulated, and I tried to collect them on this page.

The fate of growth points in the system of decorative education. Column in ComputerreOnline #66
By managing higher education, the state does not address the tasks important for the whole society. It satisfies the interests of specific groups, primarily officials.
Student Research Projects (UIRSs) at Haidary-2012
As in the previous year, I would like to briefly characterize the topics of the UIRSs (educational research projects) conducted by students during field practice at Haidary.
A Summary of the Practice, in Informal Photos
At the moment while I am uploading the photographs shown here to the site, the bus with the vast majority of students is leaving the biological station. Well, it is already possible to sum up some results.
Zoology-2012. Vertebrate Photo Contest During Practice
At the end of the practice, we held a vertebrate photo contest for second-year students. A description of the procedure and the three winning photographs are here.

Final results of the practice. In general, not bad.
Orientation by Internal Map. Column in KomputerraOnline #65
The models of reality employed by social insects (bees and ants) are designed to govern locomotion, are adaptive, organised with remarkable parsimony, and make use of symbols. And one thing more: they are astonishingly sophisticated.
A Little from the Life of Dragonflies
Here, on the banks of the Siverskyi Donets, dragonflies are among the most conspicuous insects. I have accumulated a number of frames showing how they live, die, and reproduce.
A Little from the Life of Bank Swallows
As part of the UIRS work (student research project) of two second-year students, Olha Chaiuk and Viktoriia Shulik, we photographed and filmed the bank swallow colony on the bank of the Siverskyi Donets. Although the quality of many photographs makes it clear they were taken at the camera's maximum zoom, …

I am on practice in Haidary. Four years ago, Dima Dedukh took up frogs during such a practice - then a second-year student. He started with morphometrics and then switched (with help from colleagues in St. Petersburg) to studying lampbrush chromosomes in frog oocytes. Dima earned his bachelor's qualification with …
Integral model of being. Column in ComputerreOnline #64
The logic of our development can be understood by examining the evolution of reality models in the psyche of highly organized animals. It can be assumed that initially these models simply describe the positions of objects that are important in terms of nutrition, protection, and locomotion.
Zoology-2012. The First Half of the Practice
The first half of the practice has passed. The students' research projects have been defended, the credits have been completed. The grades can be calculated. The calculated grades may still change slightly. Someone will retake the failing grade in ornithology, and for someone else (after consulting with colleagues) I will …
Night Walks around Haidary
Our "frog" group is carrying out experimental frog crossings. For that we need females with spawn. Catching them differs greatly from catching males. The males are now gathering in spawning choruses and filling the area with calls. The females must be caught on their way to the water at night... …

"Species Preservation Instinct"? Column in KomputerraOnline #62
Humans are capable of acting in the interests of humanity, and it seems to us that a wolf is capable of acting for the good of all wolves (wolfdom?), a starling — in the name of starlingdom, and a shark — for the sake of sharkdom.
