Directors of KarRC RAS institutes recapitulate the results of 2024 activities
Studies of carbon pools and fluxes in the natural environment, monitoring of rare species numbers, searching for ways to control dangerous parasites, investigating the response of ecosystems to climate change and human impact - these and many other topics were addressed by Karelian scientists in the past year. The KarRC RAS Learned Council session on January 28 discussed the results of scientific activities of the Institute of Biology, Forest Research Institute, Northern Water Problems Institute and Institute of Geology.

Genes for resistance of Eurasian bats to a dangerous fungal disease identified
Biologists from the Karelian Research Center RAS took part in a global study of a fungal infection in bats. The white-nose syndrome is a grave disease that has killed millions of chiropterans in North America in recent decades. In Eurasia, the pathogen occurs as well, but does not result in mass deaths of the animals. Thanks to the cooperation of scientists from different countries, from Spain to Japan, it became possible to detect which genes may be associated with resistance to the fungus in bats on our continent.
