transformation of living creatures. It also researches porpoises, lower aquatic
animals, and soil biology. In 1973, he became President of the All-Union
Theriologic Society. His works are in ecological morphology, hydrobionics,
ecology, and mammalian taxonomy and chemical communication. In 1975, he
received the A. N. Severtsov Prize in biology and animal morphology. He is
presently director of the Evolution Morphology and Animals' Ecology Institute
named after A. N. Severtsov (EMAEI) located in Moscow. (GSE 24, p. 282.)

This important institute traces its beginnings back to the Laboratory Experimental

Laboratory of Evolutionary Morphology founded by A. N. Severtsov in 1930. In
1977, the institute was organized into 20 laboratories and several additional
research groups. Studies the evolutionary process and analyzes the transformation
of living creatures. The institute has worked with several scientific councils of the
USSR Academy and has cooperated in joint projects administered by the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency. The institute operates a number of biological
stations and experimental bases in the Moscow, Kostroma and Krasnodar regions
and in the Ukrainian and Tadzhik republics. It also researches porpoises, lower
aquatic animals, and soil biology.
