Abstract

Variability of terry flowers in buttercup Ranunculus acris from different populations demonstrates the anthropogenic impact on the environment. Schoolchildren carried out training works analyzing the frequency of occurrence of the trait “double” of a buttercup flower in the populations of the North-West Region of Russia. The data obtained made it possible to discuss questions about the mechanisms of action of environmental pollution by surfactants and unsaturated hydrocarbons. The article emphasizes the importance: of the direct joint participation of schoolchildren and university professional teachers in environmental research; of the visibility, evidence and significance of their results; of competent comprehensive discussion for the formation of a bio- and ecocentric worldview. The latter is especially important for the tuition of qualified scientific staff in the field of ecological genetics.
