abstract

An essay about a zoologist who made a significant contribution to mammalogy in Ukraine through research into the distribution of jerboas, studying the fauna of the Goryste Reserve and forming the collections of the Zoological Museum of the Academy of Sciences (now part of the NMNH, NAS of Ukraine). During the period of his leadership of the museum, his important contribution to the development of collections was the negotiations with various institutions on the transfer of collections to ZMAS. The researcher devoted a significant part of his career to working at various plant protection stations and entomology departments, monitoring pest populations and developing measures to regulate them.
