COMPLIANCE WITH ETHICAL STANDARDS
: <i>Conflict of interest</i>. The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.
: <i>Statement of the welfare of animals</i>. Conditions were adapted to the biology of each species to minimize the harmful and stressful effects of cage keeping. The climatic regimes in the laboratory rooms were comfortable for the animals; the usual diet was balanced and included all the nutrients necessary for normal growth and development. The premises were periodically sterilized with a quartz lamp. We did not disturb the animals without reason. In the event of death, the individuals were carefully removed from the cages. The experimental protocol was brought into accordance with the rules for conducting scientific research using experimental animals, approved by the order of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences of April 2, 1980, no. 12000-496 and the order of the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR of September 13, 1984, no. 22. The experimental protocol was approved at a meeting of the bioethics committee of the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
