The concise results and shortlist of some well-cited publications on ecology and environment - in English, the full texts or abstracts available online free (updated 2010, Mar 20).
The publications by S.A.O. in the main part of the list below include those that described some innovations in conceptualization of the fundamentals of ecology, – e.g., such as the notion of ecosystem [15]. Previously, in the book ‘Introduction to Biochemical Ecology’, the same author explored another fundamental issue of ecology and made a new classification of interorganismal interactions mediated by chemicals. Also, some of the publications given below formulated a new theory of the biomachinery that provides the useful ecosystem’s service of improving water quality [2, 4, 14, 20, 24, 25, 31]. In another essential series of publications, a set of new biological effects of man-made chemicals were discovered [1, 6, 12, 16, 19, 27; and others]. As a result, some new hazards of chemical pollution to the biosphere were found [1, 2, 12, 17, 19, 21]. Practical recommendations to better protect aquatic biodiversity were published [18], which was a continuation of the book ‘Conservation of Living Nature and Resources: Problems, Trends, Prospects’ (by A. Yablokov, S. Ostroumov, Springer Press). Steps towards new technologies to combat pollution were made [30]. A list of priorities in the further research on the most urgent issues of ecology and environment was developed [23].
The publications [1-32] and other publications authored and coauthored by S.A.O. were commented and supported in the papers and books by many other authors [33-119]. Among them are the scientists who work in N. America (e.g., [50, 61, 100, 103]), Europe (e.g., [58, 68-70, 79, 84 ]; including France, Spain, Greece), Asia (e.g., [72, 81, 88, 101, 117]; including China and India), and other parts of the world.
KEY WORDS: ecosystem, pollutants, biomachinery that provide the ecosystem’s service of improving water quality, new biological effects of man-made chemicals, new hazards of chemical pollution to the biosphere, recommendations to better protect aquatic biodiversity, conservation of nature and resources, new phytotechnologies to combat pollution, priorities, environment protection; water self-purification; surfactants, detergents, filter-feeders, environmental safety

25. Aquatic ecosystem as a bioreactor: water purification and some other functions. - Rivista di Biologia / Biology Forum, 2004, 97 (1): 67-78. Abstracts in Eng. and Italian. [A new fundamental concept is proposed of aquatic ecosystem as a bioreactor that carries out the function of water purification in natural water bodies and streams. The ecosystem as a bioreactor has the following characteristic attributes: (1) it is a large-scale (large-volume) bioreactor; (2) it is a diversified (in terms of the number of taxa and the scope of functional activities) bioreactor; (3) it possesses a broad range of biocatalytic (chemical-transforming and degrading) capabilities. New experimental data on xenobiotics - induced inhibition of the water filtration performed by the bivalve molluscs Unio tumidus, U. pictorum, M. galloprovincialis and inhibition of feeding by Limnaea stagnalis emphasized the potential ecological hazard from sublethal concentrations of pollutants (including those exemplified by synthetic surfactants and detergents). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15648211; PMID: 15648211 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]; http://scipeople.com/uploads/materials/4389/4Rivista.Biologia97p39Aquatic..Bioreactor.RTF; https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/407_New_concept_of_ecosystem; https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/410_New_Concept_of_Ecosystem;

[For the first time the negative effects of the three surfactants on the filtration rates by marine mussels were presented in one paper. The xenobiotics tested represented anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, TDTMA, a representative of a class of cationic surfactants; sodium dodecyl sulphate, SDS, a representative of anionic alkyl sulfates; and Triton X-100, a representative of non-ionic hydroxyethylated alkyl phenols). Negative effects of SDS, TDTMA, and Triton X-100 on the filtration activity of marine mussels M. edulis and M. edulis / M. galloprovincialis were discovered. All three surfactants inhibited the clearance rates. This is the first publication of the negative effects of a cationic surfactant on Atlantic mussels Mytilus.

Some basic elements of a new theory for the biological mechanism for water self-purification are presented. Aquatic organisms (hydrobionts) are actively involved in various processes leading to water purification. Not only microorganisms (bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi), but also algae, plants, invertebrates, and other groups of organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in the paper. Results of the author's experiments that study the effects of various pollutants on aquatic organisms (freshwater and marine bivalves) are given. The theory is an innovative basis for developing ecological technologies to clean water and to upgrade its quality by using organisms and ecosystems [http://scindeks.nb.rs/article.aspx?artid=0354-32850750015O];

Olenin (Eds.), Springer, Dordrecht, 2004. p. 147-164. [Proceedings of the Advanced Research Workshop on the Comparative Roles of Suspension-Feeders in Ecosystems, Nida, Lithuania 4–9 October 2003. Suspension-feeders are found in both pelagic and benthic systems. They function as an important part of an ecosystem's biomachinery that maintains water quality and purification potential in aquatic systems. They remove suspended matter and excrete faeces, pseudofaeces and dissolved inorganic materials that contribute to nutrient cycling between the water column and the benthic habitats. Suspension-feeders are a key part of many natural aquatic remediation systems and they can decrease some negative anthropogenic impacts. Recent author’s experiments are reported that demonstrate new effects of pollutants on the filtration rates of suspension-feeders.

The concise results and shortlist of some well-cited publications on ecology and environment - in English, the full texts or abstracts available online free (updated 2010, Feb 11)
The publications by S.A. Ostroumov in the main part of the list below include those that described some innovations in conceptualization of the fundamentals of ecology, – such as the notion of ecosystem [15]. Previously, in the book ‘Introduction to Biochemical Ecology’, the same author explored another fundamental issue of ecology and made a new classification of interorganismal interactions mediated by chemicals. Also, some of the publications given below formulated a new theory of the biomachinery that provides the useful ecosystem’s service of improving water quality [2, 4, 14, 20, 24, 25, 31]. In another essential series of publications, a set of new biological effects of man-made chemicals were discovered [1, 6, 12, 16, 19, 27; and others]. As a result, some new hazards of chemical pollution to the biosphere were found [1, 2, 12, 17, 19, 21]. Practical recommendations to better protect aquatic biodiversity were published [18], which was a continuation of the book ‘Conservation of Living Nature and Resources: Problems, Trends, Prospects’ (by A. Yablokov, S. Ostroumov, Springer Press). Steps towards new technologies to combat pollution were made [30]. A list of priorities in further research on most urgent issues of ecology and environment was developed [23].
The publications [1-32] and other publications authored and coauthored by S.A.O. were commented and supported in the papers and books by many other authors [33-117]. Among them are the scientists who work in N. America (e.g., [50, 61, 100, 103]), Europe (e.g., [58, 68-70, 79, 84 ]; including France, Spain, Greece), Asia (e.g., [72, 81, 88, 101, 117]; including China and India), and other parts of the world.
KEY WORDS: ecosystem, pollutants, biomachinery that provide the ecosystem’s service of improving water quality, new biological effects of man-made chemicals, new hazards of chemical pollution to the biosphere, recommendations to better protect aquatic biodiversity, conservation of nature and Resources, new phytotechnologies to combat pollution, priorities, environment protection; water self-purification; surfactants, detergents, filter-feeders, environmental safety

25. Aquatic ecosystem as a bioreactor: water purification and some other functions. - Rivista di Biologia / Biology Forum, 2004, 97 (1): 67-78. Abstracts in Eng. and Italian. [A new fundamental concept is proposed of aquatic ecosystem as a bioreactor that carries out the function of water purification in natural water bodies and streams. The ecosystem as a bioreactor has the following characteristic attributes: (1) it is a large-scale (large-volume) bioreactor; (2) it is a diversified (in terms of the number of taxa and the scope of functional activities) bioreactor; (3) it possesses a broad range of biocatalytic (chemical-transforming and degrading) capabilities. New experimental data on xenobiotics - induced inhibition of the water filtration performed by the bivalve molluscs Unio tumidus, U. pictorum, M. galloprovincialis and inhibition of feeding by Limnaea stagnalis emphasized the potential ecological hazard from sublethal concentrations of pollutants (including those exemplified by synthetic surfactants and detergents). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15648211; PMID: 15648211 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]; http://scipeople.com/uploads/materials/4389/4Rivista.Biologia97p39Aquatic..Bioreactor.RTF; https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/407_New_concept_of_ecosystem; https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/410_New_Concept_of_Ecosystem;

[For the first time the negative effects of the three surfactants on the filtration rates by marine mussels were presented in one paper. The xenobiotics tested represented anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, TDTMA, a representative of a class of cationic surfactants; sodium dodecyl sulphate, SDS, a representative of anionic alkyl sulfates; and Triton X-100, a representative of non-ionic hydroxyethylated alkyl phenols). Negative effects of SDS, TDTMA, and Triton X-100 on the filtration activity of marine mussels M. edulis and M. edulis / M. galloprovincialis were discovered. All three surfactants inhibited the clearance rates. This is the first publication of the negative effects of a cationic surfactant on Atlantic mussels Mytilus.

Some basic elements of a new theory for the biological mechanism for water self-purification are presented. Aquatic organisms (hydrobionts) are actively involved in various processes leading to water purification. Not only microorganisms (bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi), but also algae, plants, invertebrates, and other groups of organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in the paper. Results of the author's experiments that study the effects of various pollutants on aquatic organisms (freshwater and marine bivalves) are given. The theory is an innovative basis for developing ecological technologies to clean water and to upgrade its quality by using organisms and ecosystems [http://scindeks.nb.rs/article.aspx?artid=0354-32850750015O];

(Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University, Leninskie Gory, Moscow, 119991 Russia). Abstract: A new set of ecological generalizations formulated in this paper represent, in a systematized form, the basic elements of the qualitative theory of biotic control of water quality and water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems. The theory contributes to a better understanding of the issues of stability and regulation in the biosphere. The theory is supported by the results of the author’s experimental studies of the effects exerted by surfactants, detergents and other pollutants on aquatic organisms. http://sites.google.com/site/9enecologica16p25theory/;

Olenin (Eds.), Springer, Dordrecht, 2004. p. 147-164. [Proceedings of the Advanced Research Workshop on the Comparative Roles of Suspension-Feeders in Ecosystems, Nida, Lithuania 4–9 October 2003. Suspension-feeders are found in both pelagic and benthic systems. They function as an important part of an ecosystem's biomachinery that maintains water quality and purification potential in aquatic systems. They remove suspended matter and excrete faeces, pseudofaeces and dissolved inorganic materials that contribute to nutrient cycling between the water column and the benthic habitats. Suspension-feeders are a key part of many natural aquatic remediation systems and they can decrease some negative anthropogenic impacts. Recent author’s experiments are reported that demonstrate new effects of pollutants on the filtration rates of suspension-feeders. Table 1: factors decreasing water quality in aquatic ecosystems; Table 2: how filter-feeders may produce effects on 9 processes of water purification (chemical oxidation by oxygen, photodegradation etc.); Table 3: quantitative data on filter-feeders of 12 large taxa (Rotifers, Polychaeta etc.); Table 4: amount of the days for the water column to be filtered in 20 ecosystems; Table 5: production of biosediments per year or per day by filter-feeders; Table 6: chemicals that inhibit filtration rates (mainly the data generated by the author); Table 7: Key facts and principles that characterize suspension - feeders as part of water-filtering biomachinery maintaining water quality; Table 8: the level-block approach to the analysis of ecological hazards of anthropogenic effects on the biota. New concepts: polyfunctional role of suspension-feeders regulating ecosystem processes (p.155); "suspension-feeders have a potential to contribute to creating habitat heterogeneity (in terms of patchiness of concentrations of suspended matter in water) (p.157); "ecological taxation: suspension-feeders pay ecological tax to the community (ecosystem)" (p.157)].

3.Conclusion
Abstract: Research priorities in ecology and environmental sciences for the future are formulated. The priorities for both fundamental and applied ecology are proposed. The list of priorities includes about 50 items. The priorities are relevant to terrestrial, aquatic, and general ecology. The list of priorities is helpful when grant proposals are being prepared, evaluated, and selected for funding.
Keywords: ecology, environmental sciences, priorities, fundamental problems, topics for grants, scientific policy
1.INTRODUCTION
We have only "one biosphere to disturb, to manage, to cherish, to understand, to love" (Margalef [1997]).
As we enter the 21st century, we seek to formulate research priorities to complement current efforts for better understanding and unraveling the complexity of ecological processes that occur in the biosphere. “Where shall ecology go, ... and which will be the battlefields of ecology?” (Lindström et al., [1999]).
Many authors contributed to analysis of the fundamental problems and priorities of modern ecology (e.g., Bezel et al., [1994]; Rigler and Peters [1995]; Reynolds [1997]; Mooney [1998]; Alimov [2000]).
The goal of this paper is to continue formulating the priorities in ecological studies in order to optimize the effort of researchers in this fundamentally important area of science.
2. THE LIST OF PRIORITIES IN ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH
The list of priorities given below is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to highlight those research areas we consider to be the most important toward solving critical ecological problems over the next decade and beyond. The list of research items is not in order of importance. Variants of some priorities are given as the variations in wording may become important in future. The list of the priorities follows:
1. Interactions among ecosystems;
2. Variability and boundaries of ecosystems;
3. Stability of ecosystems;
4. How changes at the level of population translate themselves into changes at the level of the ecosystem;
5. How changes at the level of ecosystems and biomes translate themselves into changes at the level of the biosphere;
6. Microevolution and macroevolution of ecosystems;
7. Prognoses of ecosystem behavior and change;
8. Links between ecology, genetics, and evolution;
9. Information flows within and among ecosystems including chemical and other means of transmitting information; (another variant: Information pathways within and between ecosystems including chemical and physical transmissions);
10. Biochemical ecology; molecular ecology;
11. Ecological fundamentals of bio/phytoremediation;
12. Ecological fundamentals of maintaining multi-species artificial ecosystems;
13. Links between physiology/behavior of organisms and biogeochemistry;
14. Biological/ecological processes that influence or control the stability and sustainability of the biosphere;
15. Further characterization of the chemical and physico-chemical parameters of ecosystems;
16. Further characterization of very slow and very fast matter/energy fluxes in ecosystems;
17. Principles and methods for distinguishing between trends and noise in quantitative characteristics describing ecosystems along the axis of time;
18. Determination of the effects of population changes at an ecosystem level;
19. Determination of the effects of ecosystem changes at the biosphere level;
20. Criteria for evaluating and ranking ecological hazards;
21. Biomanipulation limitations and management of ecosystems;
22. Fundamentals of preserving the stability of the biosphere: scientific basis, economics, ecological ethics; (another variant: Scientific foundations, economics, and ethics for preserving biospheric stability );
23. Functional boundaries of ecosystems ;
24. Controls and maintenance of stability of ecosystems;
25. Ontogeny and evolution of ecosystems;
26. Functional indicators of ecosystem behavior and change;
27. Chemical and physical (energetic) fluxes within and between ecosystems;
28. Control mechanisms regulating flux rates (biogeochemistry);
29. Role and importance of biodiversity in muting flux variations;
30. Effects of major ecosystem alterations on biogeochemical resiliency of the biosphere;
31. Quantitative criteria for evaluating ecological degradation and restoration;
32. Indicators of ecological condition;
33. Methods for determining the relative effects in multi-stressor environments;
34. Methods for prioritization of resource types requiring intervention;
35. Identity and characterization of ecosystems;
36. Ecosystem stability and resilience;
37. Extrapolation from population level to ecosystem level effects;
38. Extrapolation from ecosystem to biosphere level effects;
39. Prediction of ecosystem behavior and changes;
40. Remediation of ecosystems (including bioremediation, phytoremediation);
41. Cultivation of multi-species artificial ecosystems;
42. Methods for determining quantitative trends in ecosystem condition over time with known confidence;
43. Field data and field experiments to clarify the degree to which there are wide-spread effects of anthropogenic chemicals on species diversity;
44. Composition of communities, and on ecosystem function;
45. Bridges between the laboratory toxicology results and effects on community and ecosystem aspects of the aquatic habitat;
46. Getting more data on use and distribution of anthropogenic chemicals;
47. Studying subtle effects of anthropogenic chemicals on aquatic ecology using long-term, large scale field experiments;
48. Interactions across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, particularly at the land-water margin;
49. Resilience of ecosystems to natural and anthropogenic related stresses;
50. Separating natural ecosystem variability from anthropogenic related changes.
3.CONCLUSION
In the previous part of the paper, a list of priorities in ecological studies was formulated that included 50 items. Some of those priorities are close to each other and represent different wording of almost the same research topic. However, we decided to give various forms of similar priorities as sometimes even slight variations in wording are of importance.
We realize that there are many opinions on setting priorities in ecological and environmental studies (see also Yablokov and Ostroumov, [1991]; Likens [1992]; Rand [1995]; Ehrlich [1997]; Rozenberg et al., [1999]; Zakharov, [1999]; Ostroumov, [1986]; [ 2000]; Dobrovolsky and Nikitin, [2000] ; Vernadsky, [2001];Wetzel, [2000]; [ 2001]) and what is given here inevitably reflects the experience and expertise of the individuals who co-authored the text above. We hope the list will help initiate further ideas and discussion. Also, we hope the list will help in preparing, evaluating and selecting new research proposals.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. We thank colleagues who read earlier drafts of the list for comment, encouragement and contributing their ideas. We give our thanks to Dr. K. J. Wilkinson, and Dr. N. van Straalen for comments and criticism.
