abstract

An essay about Bohdan Pylyavsky, a zoologist, ecologist, muzeologist, researcher of vertebrates of western regions of Ukraine (Carpathians, Podillia) is presented. Bohdan Romanovych became a specialist in a powerful school of researchers who actively combined both zoological and ecological studies (F. Strautman, I. Ivanenko, I. Shnarevych). Among his contributions, there were the first systems for automatic control of motor activity of animals that were applied him in field conditions. At the same time, he was a known taxidermist and author of a large number of zoological samples and museum exhibits at universities of Poltava and Ternopil. It is also important to mention that during his scientific carrier he supervised three Ph.D. theses in Biology and a number of manuals and handbooks. Has was also provided active organizational work, including the successful functioning of the Zoological Department, as well as the Zoological Museum of Ternopil University. He also took part in the organization of one of the most memorable Theriological schools at the biological station "Holytsia" in 1999.
