Abstract

The outstanding Russian (Soviet) ecologist Nikolai Pavlovitch Naumov (November 25, 1902 - February 2, 1987) is the initiator of the restoration of teaching ecology in the post-war period. His textbook “Animal Ecology” is published in many countries of the world. Ecology for Naumov was a science about biological systems of the highest level (populations and biocenosis). Ecology, according to Naumov, has great practical importance. The central place in Naumov’ scientific research is occupied by the structure and functioning of biological systems of the highest level. Naumov is the author of the concept of a biological signal field. Fundamental position of this concept is that the structure and functions of ecological systems are controlled not only by materially-energy, but also by communicative processes.
