An essay about the research of one of the most famous experts in the biology and ecology of Carpathian bears, a forester by profession and a zoologist by vocation, whose life is connected with the Carpathian region and the city of Kalush. The scientist conducted thorough research on the Carpathian bear populations, studied and analysed in detail the long-term changes in the numbers of bears in the Ukrainian part of the Eastern Carpathians, the factors of these changes, including biotopic and anthropogenic ones. Considerable attention was paid to the diet of bears and the specifics of their distribution in the territory, the features of reproduction and growth were investigated, and approaches to population survey were developed. Based on these results, a dissertation was defended (1982) and a monograph was prepared (2008). |
