abstract

An analysis of the history of the formation and development of theriology in the Podillia region, within the Podillia Upland, the Holohirsko-Kremenets Hills and the Podillia Tovtry, has been carried out. A significant proportion of the research focuses on the Dnister region. The centres for scientific research and the formation of academic schools are Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ternopil and Vinnytsia Universities, as well as the natural history museums associated with them. A significant feature of the region is the presence of a large number of nature reserve institutions, which has led to active faunistic and monitoring research. Research activity has long been concentrated in the nature reserves and national parks of ‘Medobory’, ‘Northern Podillia’, ‘Dnister Canyon’, ‘Podillia Tovtry’, and ‘Karmeliukove Podillia’. Information and a bibliography of studies relating to faunistics, the processing of collections and the study of fauna in general, as well as rare and game species, have been summarised. The concluding chapter is devoted to an analysis of the scientific work of leading mammal researchers in the region over the last 50 years.
