title: [The problem of organism integrity and its perspectives].
abstract: The organism integrity in onto- and phylogenesis is considered as an initial element of biosphere integrity and its evolution at the eukaryotic level. The Schmalhausen's concept of organism integrity is discussed in the context of his original strategy of evolutionary synthesis and his works on stabilizing selection. The perspectives of investigations on the problem of integrity and development of the principle of dynamic stability in contemporary evolutionary biology as integrating factors are discussed.
