abstract |
The topic of continuity and development of theriological research in Ukraine is considered in light of the history of the formation of three components: scientific centres, research schools, and current trends. These three components have been actively developing over the last two centuries, but most intensively after the corresponding waves of formation of scientific centres, which became universities and academic institutions, and partly also sectoral institutions (nature reserves, research centres, natural history museums), and in the last 50 years — also scientific societies, primarily the Ukrainian Theriological Society. In fact, to mark the 50th anniversary of this society, a trilogy entitled ‘Theriology in Ukraine’ has been compiled, and this third issue on school centres and trends complements the idea of the first two issues, dedicated to deceased (volume 14) and contemporary (volume 15) colleagues and their contributions to the development of theriological research. A description of the key phases in the development of theriological research in Ukraine is presented. |
