The goal of this review is to provide a short summary of a series of innovative publications on environmental science and ecology [1-25]. The papers were authored by scientists of Moscow State University and their co-authors. The review is not a comprehensive analysis of this broad area but a summary of some selected examples which are useful both in advancing further research and in modernization of environmental education. The review is structured and the text is divided into short sections that are easy to read.

1. Biomachinery of ecosystems.
In the insightful review paper [1], an innovative concept of ecosystem’s biomachinery (a new scientific term that was proposed and explained in detail by the author. According to the author of this paper [1], biomachinery means ecological mechanisms that include biological communities and biodiversity) which improves water quality. The innovative experimental data analysis, concepts, and generalizations in this article provide the fundamental elements of the new qualitative theory of biocontrol of water quality in a systematized form. The theory covers water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems [1].  http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2012/08/biocontrol-of-water-quality.html 
2. Rare earth elements in biological detritus in an aquatic system.
In 2010, a paper on using neutron activation analysis (NAA) to measure the concentrations of some chemical elements in the samples of detritus was published [2]. This paper is the first publication that reported the concentrations of a number of rare earth elements in biodetritus in an aquatic system [2].

3. Innovative scientific terms (ecological chemomediators, ecological chemoregulators).
A paper on new concepts in ecology was published [3]. The paper explained the innovative scientific terms (ecological chemomediators, ecological chemoregulators) that were coined in 1986 in the book: S.A.Ostroumov ‘Introduction to Biochemical Ecology’ [3], translated into Polish and other languages and published by leading academic publishing houses in three countries. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/201999918_ ; http://www.scribd.com/doc/63711272/; http://www.scribd.com/doc/73795942 
4. New qualitative theory of biotic regulation of water quality.
New fundamental theoretical issues of water sustainability, water safety and aquatic ecology were covered in a paper published in 2008. This article provides the fundamental elements of a new qualitative theory of biotic control (biocontrol) of water quality in a systematized form. The theory covers water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems [4]. 5. Filtration of water by invertebrate organisms, filter-feeders. In 2006, an important series of experiments on ecotoxicology of detergents was published in the journal HYDROBIOLOGIA, (2006, Volume: 556, Pages: 381-386) by an international team of researchers. This was the first paper that reported the experiments that showed that all three main kinds of synthetic surfactants (detergent chemicals) slow down the filtration of water by marine organisms, filter-feeders (the bivalve mussels of the Atlantic Ocean, Mytilus edulis) [5]. http://www.scribd.com/doc/45958156

6.  A new theory of ecological self-purification of water.
A paper that formulated an important ecological theory was published. This paper contains a detailed well-structured presentation of the author’s innovative and multifaceted conceptualization of how almost all aquatic organisms work together toward making water clear and clean. This paper [On the multifunctional role of the biota in the self-purification of aquatic ecosystems. - RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY, 2005, 36 (6): 414-420] formulated a new theory of ecological self-purification of water [6]. 
7. New concepts and terminology: ecological tax; ecological repair of water quality.
New concepts and terminology were introduced in this paper: ecological tax; ecological repair of water quality [Some aspects of water filtering activity of filter-feeders. HYDROBIOLOGIA, 2005, Volume: 542, Pages: 275-286] [7].
This is an interesting innovative opinion paper, and simultaneously, a helpful review paper. http://www.scribd.com/doc/44105992; 
8. A new key aspect of the ecosystem function: water purification, improving water quality.
An interesting opinion paper was published. The article presented a detailed analysis of the discovery and innovation: a new aspect of the essence of ecosystem was discovered and analyzed. The paper showed that ecosystem has attributes of a bioreactor. It is considered as a large-scale diversified bioreactor with a water self-purification function [8].

9. New facts on detergents as pollutants. New facts on how detergents slow down the filtration of water by aquatic organisms (bivalve mussels, oysters and others) were presented in this publication. These facts included a discovery of new inhibitory effects of surfactants (TDTMA and SDS) on water filtering activity of the marine mollusks oysters Crassostrea gigas[9].
10. A short list of research priorities in ecology and environmental sciences for future. 
A useful article was published: a first and unique paper in which an international team of experts, scientists of three countries formulated a short list of research priorities in ecology and environmental sciences for the current century [10]. 
11. Modernized definition of the term 'pheromones', comments on some new concepts.
An innovative paper was published [11]. This article formulated a new modernized definition of the term 'pheromones', p.232-233; comments on the new concepts that were proposed by the author, S.A.Ostroumov (Moscow University), namely, ecological chemomediators (p.232), ecological chemoregulators (p.232), ecological chemoeffectors (p.234) [11]. 
12. Improved criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants.
New criteria were formulated in this paper in order to answer the question: is a given chemical substance hazardous to the environment or not? This paper provided a fundamentally new solution to the problem of selecting criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants, toxicants [12]. 
13. Ecological mechanisms of eutrophication and abnormal increase in phytoplankton.
In 2002, a first article was published that discovered common ecological mechanisms that are involved in phenomena as diverse as eutrophication and water self-purification. In this paper new important experimental results of the author were analyzed to give a new fresh insight into ecological mechanisms of eutrophication and abnormal increase in phytoplankton. Also, this article presented a new insight into how ecosystem runs water self-purification [13]. http://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/inhibitory-analysis-of-top-down-control-new-keys-to-studying-cDrLImLx31 
14. A short list of the most important physical, chemical, and biological processes of water self-purification.
The first publication in which a concise outline was made of the author’s innovative theory of water self-purification. A short list of the most important physical, chemical, and biological processes of water self-purification is given [14]. 
15. New facts on a chemical of an important class of substances as aquatic pollutant.
It is the first paper in which it was clearly proved that the synthetic chemical (exemplified by the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS), when it pollutes water, produces dangerous effects on both marine mussels (Mytilus edulis) and phytoplankton [15]. 
16. New ideas on criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants.
This paper formulated a fundamentally new solution to the problem of selecting criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants, toxicants. The paper explains why the currently accepted set of criteria is non-efficient and leads to mistakes [16]. 
17. Fundamental role of biological filtering in self-purification (and self-bioremediation, self-organization, as well as stability) of aquatic ecosystems: New facts and ideas.
It is the first paper in which a synthesis of both authors new experimental data and international literature was made, which led to a new broad picture of the fundamental role of biological filtering in self-purification (and self-bioremediation, self-organization, as well as stability) of aquatic ecosystems [17]. http://www.scribd.com/doc/42830557 
18. Hazardous effect of a synthetic non-ionic surfactant (exemplified by surfactant Triton X-100) on diatom algae. The first paper to report hazardous effects of a widely-used chemical on diatom algae, important component of phytoplankton. This is a first publication to report a hazardous effect of a synthetic non-ionic surfactant (exemplified by the synthetic surfactant Triton X-100) on diatom algae, a marine species, Thalassiosira pseudonana. [18].

19. Discovery of inhibitory and stimulation effects of a synthetic surfactant on the two unique strains of the ocean species of cyanobacteria.
This is a first publication to report both inhibitory and stimulation effects of a synthetic surfactant on the two unique strains of the ocean species of cyanobacteria Synechococcus from the collection of WHOI (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the U.S.A.). These data demonstrated a new hazard of an imbalance of species composition of marine phytoplankton under the effect of pollution by synthetic chemical pollutants [19]. 
20. Discovery of phytotoxicity of a synthetic polymeric surfactant.
What is new: a polymeric chemical inhibited growth rate of plant seedlings. This is a first publication to report phytotoxicity of a synthetic polymeric surfactant. An innovative bioassay with the higher plant Fagopyrum esculentum (buckwheat) was carried out. A negative reaction of buckwheat seedlings to pollution of the aqueous medium with a polymeric surfactant was discovered [20].

21. Discovery of new phytotoxic effects of a liquid detergent. The first paper to report new phytotoxic effects of a liquid detergent. Before this paper, no phytotoxic effects of liquid detergents were known. New phytotoxic effects of the liquid detergent "Vilva" on the seedlings of the higher plants, namely, buckwheat Fagopyrum esculentum and rice Oryza sativa, were discovered [21].
22. Unique experience in using non-traditional non-animal methods to bioassay toxicity. 
This publication reported the author's unique experience in using non-traditional non-animal methods to bioassay the toxicity of chemicals. His experiments discovered new facts on toxicity of synthetic surfactants and detergents to a number of species, e.g. to some higher plant species and algae [22]. 
23. New method to bioassay chemicals.
A discovery of a new method to do the bioassay of chemicals. This method is especially useful to find and characterize toxicity of chemicals. This method proved to be also useful to find new facts on environmental hazards of chemicals and chemical pollution of environment. Using this method a discovery was made of new important examples of phytotoxicity of synthetic chemicals, exemplified by some synthetic surfactants [23]. 
24. A review on two classes of chemicals of ecological importance: (1) the natural chemicals in the biosphere; (2) man-made chemicals. A review of the two classes of chemicals of ecological importance: (1) the natural chemicals that are involved in regulating and mediating natural inter-species and inter-organismal interactions in the biosphere; (2) man-made chemicals that are involved in chemical pollution of the environment [24]. 
25. First and unique juxtaposition of results of the three methods of assessment of toxicity of a new pollutant: the methods that use (1) plant seedlings; (2) aquatic algae; (3) soil algae.
This is a first publication to report a unique bioassay of synthetic surfactants using soil algae. Also, this is a first publication to report a juxtaposition of results of the three methods of assessment of toxicity of a surfactant: the methods that use (1) plant seedlings; (2) aquatic algae cultures; (3) soil algal cultures [25].
