Reference excerpt

Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak (Решетняк) (1925–2015) was a Soviet protozoologist and marine biologist, specialising in Radiolaria, Phaeodorea and Acantharea. Reshetnyak was born on May 10, 1925, in the province of Voronezh. In 1948 she graduated from the Leningrad State University Her supervisor was Valentin Aleksandrovich Dogel. She worked at the Zoological Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences from 1949 until she was made redundant on 1 April 1982. She defended her thesis in 1956, and a volume of the same name was published in 1966 as part of the series Fauna of the USSR. This work described for the first time vertical distribution of deep-sea Radiolaria and Phaeodorea in the Kuril-Kamchatka trough. She made a significant contribution to the study of the morphology and systematics of Phaeodorea. Together with A.A. Strelkov she summarized the data on the colonial radiolaria, the Collodaria. She wrote a monograph on the Acantharea of the world's oceans, considering them an independent order. Reshetnyak described more than 20 new species for science, and established a new family of Phaeodorea, Polypyramidae Reschetnjak, 1966. She was the author and co-author of more than 50 scientific papers, including two monographs. Reshetnyak died in St Petersburg in 2015.

Selected Russian language publications 1966: Deep-sea Radiolaria of the Phaeodaria of the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean. 1971: (With A. A. Strelkov) The Collodarian radiolaria (Spumellaria mikrovogo) of the oceans. 1981: Acanthariea (Protozoa) of the world's oceans.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak

In research: Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1925 births, 2015 deaths, European biologist stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
