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. Ostroumov 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).www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15648211; PMID: 15648211 [PubMed — indexed for MEDLINE];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;

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.

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.

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.
