The paradox of accelerated evolution. Column in ComputerreOnline #46
Could organisms arise in a fluctuating environment whose efficiency of producing new adaptations would be reduced—since they would inevitably be outcompeted by those that evolved more rapidly?
Ecology; Fall 2011. "Retakes" in Ecology — One More Attempt!
Dear truants, failing students, and those with outstanding retakes (this does not concern anyone else)! I am prepared to make one more attempt to meet with you. If you don't show up or come unprepared, you will subsequently have to deal with the examination committee. We meet on Monday, February …
The Difficulties of Career Guidance. Column in KomputerraOnline #45
The most important thing in education is not the diploma, not the status that allows one to hold a certain position, not a specific set of knowledge. The most important thing is the difficult-to-formalise transformation of a person.
Stöck et al., 2011. Simultaneous Mendelian and clonal genome transmission...
An unofficial working translation of a paper of considerable interest. Stöck M., Ustinova J., Betto-Colliard C., Schartl M., Moritz C., Perrin N. Simultaneous Mendelian and clonal genome transmission in a sexually reproducing, all-triploid vertebrate. Proc. R. Soc. B, 2011. doi:10.1098/rspb.20...
To the Prospective Student: 13 Theses on Career Orientation
On Sunday, 5 February, the university holds an open day (from 9:30 a.m.). I am scheduled to speak at it; reflecting on what needs to be said to prospective students, I prepared this text.
Vorontsov, 1999. On the postulates of SET (according to the book 'Development of evolutionary ideas in biology')
In 1978-1980, Mykola Mykolayovych Vorontsov (1934-2000) made an attempt to systematize the main postulates of the STE (synthetic theory of evolution). In his last major work, published in 1999 (Воронцов Н. Н. Развитие эволюционных идей в биологии. М.: Изд. отд. УНЦ ДО МГУ, Прогресс-Традиция,...)

Ecology, Fall 2011. Ready to Accept Ecology Retakes
Dear third-year students with ecology backlogs: it turns out that some of you were waiting for the date when I would accept retakes and supposedly looking for an announcement on this site, but no one even told me they intended to retake anything.
Three Syntheses in Evolutionary Biology. Column in KompyuterraOnline #44
Many components of the Third Synthesis in evolutionary biology have already been developed. What remains is to isolate, from the particulars of circumstance, the primary signal reflecting the mechanism of life's development.

Surrogates of environmental protection. Column in ComputerreOnline #43
When consumers of “organic” products and other “bio‑food” convince themselves that they are saving the planet, they merely waste the soulful energy that could have led to some positive changes on empty toys.
On Crowdsourcing
On January 24, a seminar devoted to crowdsourcing was held at the Faculty of Biology. Crowdsourcing is the outsourcing of certain tasks to a broad circle of people, where anyone willing may offer their own solution. The seminar was delivered by Viktoriia Pavlivna Komarystaia. For companies that need to solve …
Phosphorus-free diet? Column in KompyuterrOnline #42
