Teaching model: Mechanisms that ensure adaptive behavior
The model helps establish the relationship between the life history of a given mammal species and the mechanism characteristic of it that ensures adaptive behavior.
Educational Model: Interspecific Competition and Ecological Niche Partitioning
The model shows niche partitioning by two related species that differ in tolerance ranges to an important environmental factor.
Educational Model: Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey Model
The model shows dynamics of two interacting species: predator and prey.
Educational Model: Logistic Growth
The model demonstrates patterns of logistic population growth.
Educational Model: Exponential Growth
The model demonstrates patterns of exponential population growth.
Educational Model: Plant Water Balance
The model provides an understanding of plant water balance and mechanisms of its regulation.
Educational Model: Distribution of Biomes on Earth
The model shows distribution of biomes (large regional ecosystems) across Earth’s surface, separately for land and ocean.
Educational Model: Photosynthetic Pigments of Plants
The model explains the relationship between plant pigments and the composition of photosynthetically active radiation
Educational Model: Engelmann’s Experiment
The model illustrates the well-known experiment by Theodor Engelmann, conducted in the late 19th century

Visualization of J. Lovelock’s conceptual model “Daisyworld,” showing the potential of organisms to influence their habitat.
Educational Model: Consequences of a Local Nuclear Conflict ("Nuclear Winter")
The model illustrates the "nuclear winter" scenario — a proposed sequence of events in the event of nuclear-weapon use
Educational Model: Factors Determining Planetary Temperature
The model makes it possible to assess the effects of three factors on planetary temperature.
Educational Model: Continental Drift
The model shows continental positions at different stages of Earth’s history
Educational Model: Plate Tectonics
The model illustrates processes occurring in Earth’s crust and the upper layer of the mantle
