ResearchAbout · CV · Research · Music · Planted aquariums Until 2014 I worked as a research associate in molecular ecology at the Institute of Environmental Problems of the North. My work was on the phylogenetics of butterflies and freshwater molluscs — inferring and calibrating trees, and modelling climatic niches for endangered species. PublicationsBolotov, I.

These were originally published as PopSet records; NCBI retired PopSet in January 2025, so each accession is linked individually. Parnassius (30)Papilionidae. Species names abbreviated; all Parnassius.
Other Lepidoptera (3)Erebidae and Geometridae.
Other taxa (8)Radix is a freshwater snail (Lymnaeidae); Meteorus a parasitoid wasp (Braconidae).
Doctoral thesisI wrote my thesis between 2014 and 2016. The defence never happened. The full text and a short version are available, both in Russian.
