The Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals (ISEA) (Russian: Институт систематики и экологии животных, ИСЭЖ ^{[lower-alpha 1]}) located in Novosibirsk is one of the oldest research organization in the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS).^[3][4] The Institute was founded in 1944^[5][6] as Biomedical Institute,^[5] the first Siberian academic establishment working in biology.^[6] The Siberian Zoological Museum of the ISEA SB RAS has the third-largest coleopteran collection in Russia.^[7] Some Siberian research organizations as the Central Siberian Botanical Garden SB RAS and the Institute of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry SB RAS were derived from the Institute former laboratories.^[5][6][8]

General background

The Institute research mission is the study of animal populations and communities structural and functional organization (as the base of living systems sustainable being and evolution) along with community ecology and biodiversity (animal systematics, inventory, monitoring and animal resource assessment).^[8][9]

The ISEA international activities include collaboration with researchers from the United Kingdom, Germany,^[10] the United States, Japan and China.^[6]

History

The Institute was formed as Biomedical Institute^[5] in 1944^[5][6] due to the special Order of the USSR Sovnarkom (1943^{[lower-alpha 2]}). It was renamed a few times:^[5][8][11]

• 1944 — the Biomedical Institute, the USSR Academy of Sciences West Siberian affiliate;
• 1953 — the Biological Institute, the USSR Academy of Sciences West Siberian affiliate;^[12]
• 1959 — the Biological Institute, the USSR Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch;
• 1991 — the Biological Institute, the Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch;
• 1993 — the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, the Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch.

The Institute Directors

• 1944—1951 — Victor V. Reverdatto,^[3] Prof, ScD
• 1951—1953 — Sergey U. Stroganov, Prof, ScD
• 1953—1954 — S. I. Gluzdakov, PhD

• 1978—2006 — Vadim I. Evsikov, Corresponding Member of RAS, Prof, ScD^[14]
• since 2006 — Victor V. Glupov, Prof, ScD.^[2][8][11]

Research Units

There are seven laboratories,^{[lower-alpha 3]} one special research team, three research stations and one affiliated research and production unit in the Institute.

• The Chany research station (Head: Alexander K. Yurlov, PhD);
• The Teletsky research station (Head: Igor I. Chupin, PhD).

The Siberian Zoological Museum

The Museum appeared in 1960 as a separate laboratory of the Institute. Now it is curated by the researchers of the Invertebrate Systematics and the Philogeny&Faunogenesis Laboratories.^[17] The Siberian Zoological Museum has a vast scientific collection (650 animal families, more than 25 thousand species, 13 million samples, 1000 holotypes)^[18] including the third-largest coleopteran collection in Russia^{[lower-alpha 4][7]} as well as some permanent exhibitions.^[19]

The Euroasian Entomological Journal

The Euroasian Entomological Journal^{[lower-alpha 5]} started in 2002^[20] due to the Siberian Zoological Museum of the ISEA SB RAS and the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University joint efforts.^{[lower-alpha 6]} The Journal publishes original and qualitative scientific papers ^{[lower-alpha 7]} on insect taxonomy, fauna, ecology, physiology etc. A Head Editor of the Journal is Prof ScD (Biology) Victor V. Glupov, the Director of the ISEA. His three deputies are PhD Sergei E. Tshernyshev (ISEA SB RAS), PhD Kirill G. Mikhailov (the MSU Zoomuseum, Moscow) and ScD Andrei A. Legalov (ISEA SB RAS). There are competent entomologists from recognised research establishments and universities of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and the United Kingdom in the Journal editorial board. The Journal periodicity is six issues per year.^[20]
