The significant, important role of this book in modern science is explained in the recent article which was published in 2013 in the new journal entitled: Akademos. The full title of this journal is: Akademos. Journal of Science, Innovation, Culture and Art. This is a reviewed journal of Public Access. ISSN 1857-0461.

This is an abstract of that recent article which explains the significant role of the book (Ostroumov S.A. 'Introduction to Biochemical Ecology' [ Vvedenie v biohimičeskuju èkologiju ], 1986; Moscow University Press; Moscow, Russian Federation) in development of modern ecology:

[Institute of Ecology and Geography of ASM (Academy of Science of Moldova)].
GENESIS AND EVOLUTION OF THE RESEARCH ON THE CHEMICAL FACTORS OF THE ENVIRONMENT.

A note on the author of the paper in Akademos: Prof. Dr. I. Dediu was a Minister of Environment in the Government of Republic of Moldova; authored a number of monograph on the biosphere and fundamental issues of ecology].
As an addition to this abstract, it is necessary to mention some innovations in concepts and terminology of ecology which were presented in this book. Dr. Sergei Ostroumov proposed new concepts and terms: ecological chemoregulators and ecological chemomediators. These terms include natural chemicals that are produced by organisms and have some important effects on other organisms. Examples are pheromones, toxins and many other chemicals, especially secondary metabolites and some other substances. The concepts of the author were published also in the paper which is available online, in English:

The innovations in this book help to see new aspects of natural mechanisms in the biosphere which support stability of ecosystems and the environment.
The book was translated into Polish and Bulgarian languages. The picture of the cover of the Polish edition you could see here:

A better understanding of chemically mediated ecological mechanisms is very important to environmental protection.
in 2011, a conference (titled: Ecosystems, Organisms, Innovations ) took place in the U.S.A. that was dedicated to 25th anniversary of publication of this book.
The conclusion and bottom line of the review of this book: it is an excellent scientific monograph of a large importance to development of the science of ecology, as well as environmental and life sciences.

Short version of the review:
In 2011, a conference (titled: Ecosystems, Organisms, Innovations ) took place in the U.S. that was dedicated to 25th anniversary of publication of this book. The role of the book is explained in the article in the journal: Akademos. Journal of Science, Innovation, Culture and Art. This is a reviewed journal of Public Access. ISSN 1857-0461. http://www.akademos.asm.md/about-en
This is an abstract of that recent article which explains the significant role of the book (Ostroumov S.A. 'Introduction to Biochemical Ecology' [ Vvedenie v biohimičeskuju èkologiju ], 1986; Moscow University Press) in ecology:
Prof. Dr. I. Dediu. Genesis and evolution of the research on the chemical factors of the environment. - Akademos, Number 4 (31), 2013, p.77 - 81. This review paper analyzed the genesis and the evolution of the concepts related to chemical factors in the environment. The study of these factors has been initiated by A.Lavoisier, L.Pasteur, J.B. Lamarck, J. von Liebig, V.Shelford, S.Ostroumov, M.Telitchenko, et al., who created two areas of science: Biochemical Ecology and Environmental Chemistry. The science of biochemical ecology started in Moscow in 1986 with the book 'Introduction to Biochemical Ecology' (Ostroumov, 1986). [The author of the paper, Prof. I. Dediu, was a Minister of Environment in the Government of Moldova, authored monographs on fundamental issues of ecology].
As an addition to this abstract, it is necessary to mention innovations in concepts and terminology of ecology which were presented in the book. Dr. Ostroumov proposed new concepts and terms: ecological chemoregulators and ecological chemomediators. The concepts were published also here: On the concepts of biochemical ecology and hydrobiology: Ecological chemomediators. Contemporary Problems of Ecology, 2008; 1: 238-244. DOI:10.1134/S1995425508020100 ;
The innovations in the book help to see new aspects of stability of ecosystems. The book was translated into Polish and Bulgarian, is being used as a textbook in university education, at many universities:
The book is an excellent scientific monograph of a large importance to development of ecology, as well as some other environmental and life sciences.
