In the Laboratory of Systematics and Molecular Phylogeny of the Institute of Zoology, Moldova State University, the project 25.80013.7007.02GER "Entomopathogenic Fungi and Antagonists for the Biological Control of Insect Pests and Plant Diseases" – Fungi4BioControl is in full swing. The project is funded as result of the successful participation in the competition "Measures to promote bilateral mobility between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Moldova based on projects - ProMoMo", launched by the National Agency for Research and Development.

Nine countries along the Danube River have joined forces to protect some of Europe’s most endangered species: the sturgeons.

The warm season also brings with it the risk of encountering snakes. The greatest diversity is recorded in forest biotopes, at forest edges and in natural open ecosystems, near water bodies, but sometimes they can also be found in rural and urban areas, near households or even inside the buildings.
