The goal of this publication (which is written on the basis of [14]) is toanalyze some specific examples of the educational use of a series of the scientificmonographs in two important areas of modern ecological science, relevant to the newdiscipline of biochemical ecology, and to the equally or even more important area of conservation biology.In 1986, the book ‘Introduction to Biochemical Ecology’ was published, inwhich new fundamental concepts of ecology were developed. In the book, the basicsof the new scientific discipline of biochemical ecology were formulated, and the newconcepts and terms ‘ecological chemomediators’ and ‘ecological chemoregulators’were proposed (Ostroumov, 1986). Later, the presentation of those concepts andterms was repeated in another book, ‘Introduction to Problems of BiochemicalEcology’ (Telitchenko, Ostroumov, 1990).We also coauthored books on conservation of biodiversity (Yablokov,Ostroumov, 1983, 1985; 1991). In those books, a new conceptual approach – according to the levels of organization of life systems - was used to classify and to put into a system the data on the contemporary man-made impact on the biosphere.The books (Ostroumov, 1986; Telitchenko, Ostroumov, 1990; Yablokov,Ostroumov, 1983, 1985; 1991) provided the new concepts that helped organize and put into a logical and modern system a massive body of factual information.
 
Some information on how those books have been used in educating studentsin ecology and other academic disciplines is given below in Tables 1-4.Table 1. Using concepts of the book ‘Introduction to Biochemical Ecology’(Ostroumov, 1986) [С.А.Остроумов "Введение в биохимическую экологию" М.:изд. МГУ. 1986] in education, some examples. The relevant concepts werecommented in the text.
