Online Lecture by Vadim Maryinsky — “The Results of 2025 in Invertebrate Zoology”

The year 2025 turned out to be steadily productive for invertebrate zoology — researchers continued describing new species, discovering previously unknown interactions between invertebrate animals and other organisms, clarifying their evolutionary relationships, and exploring ways to apply their structural and biochemical features in various technological fields. But were there any real breakthroughs? And how important is it for our civilization to keep studying these creatures — is it truly essential, or simply scientific curiosity? In this lecture, we will explore the key discoveries made in invertebrate zoology in 2025 and try to answer these questions together.
