Areas of interest

Genomics and bioinformatics

• NIA Mouse Gene Index
• NIA Array Analysis tool

• Mathematical modelling in population ecology (see my paper).
• Using barrier zones to slow the spread of gypsy moth. See STS project.
• Mating success of gypsy moth females in sparse populations.
• Gypsy Moth Life System Model (a complex model of local population dynamics).
• Population stability measures.
• Life-system approach in population studies.
• Fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea) population dynamics.
• Pine sawflies (Diprion pini, Neodiprion sertifer) population dynamics.

Theoretical biology. Notions and methods in theoretical biology are still in the process of development. The main problem is "what is life?". My idea is that living systems can be defined as systems that use internal and external information for self-maintenance and self-reproduction.

• Biosemiotics (semiotics=theory of signs).
• Theory of Self-Reproducing Systems.
• Other papers on biosemiotics
• Iulius Shreider on systems theory
• Concept of Time in Biology (review of Meyen's theory).
• Beklemishev on Theoretical Biology and Ecology
• Wings on hind legs! (wonderful reptilia found by my father)
