Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aleksei M Kulikov"
- Aleksei M Kulikov's research centers on the seasonal dynamics and thermal tolerance of various insect species, particularly focusing on the Drosophilidae family and its ecological adaptations in European Russia and specific genera like Stratiomyidae.
- His study on fruit flies revealed a diverse abundance of 30 drosophilid species in Mordovia State Nature Reserve, highlighting significant seasonal variations and contributing new species records to the region's biodiversity.
- Kulikov's exploration of the molecular chaperone Hsp70 across thermotolerant Diptera indicates that specific adaptations in thermal stability and refolding capabilities differentiate Stratiomyidae from other flies, reflecting evolutionary influences from ancestral lineages on their environmental resilience.
