This paper presents the legacy of Edward Feliks Lubicz-Niezabitowski, a Polish scientist, biologist, zoologist, and physician who, over 20 years, collected and studied the Pleistocene and Holocene mammals found at various sites in Poland. A synopsis of his achievements in this regard is presented here for the first time, and covers representatives of Elephantidae, Rhinocerotidae, Cervidae, Bovidae, Equidae, Carnivora, and Rodentia, dealing with the locality and context of the finds, as well as the specific elements they represent. Although it is difficult to evaluate how many specimens of those specified by Lubicz-Niezabitowski are preserved to this day, and to what extent, the collected data can be used for synthetic works concerning diversity and occurrence of Pleistocene mammals in Europe, with reference to Poland.

REPRESENTATIVENESS OF THE MAMMALIAN COLLECTION OF THE ZOOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF LVIV UNIVERSITYRepresentativeness of the Mammalian Collection of the Zoological Museum of Lviv University.-Zatushevskyy, A., Shydlovskyy, I., Tymkiv, I.-During collection inventorization of the Zoological museum of Lviv University we found that there are nearly 3800 exhibits belonging to 258 mammal species of the world's fauna. Most of the samples (68 %) represent the order of rodents (Rodentia). In systematic aspect, mammalian collections consist of representatives of 20 orders. The collections were founded by 264 persons, 28 of them made the main contribution. It is necessary to mention species listed in the Red Date Book of Ukraine: one species belongs to the category Extinct in the Wild (European bison), two-Extinct (Schreibers's long-fingered bat, European ground squirrel), three-Data Deficient (bicolored shrew, lesser blind mole rat, gray dwarf hamster), five-to the category Not Evaluated (Nathusius' pipistrelle, European otter, short-tailed weasel, European polecat, common hamster). In addition, 9 species are rare, 12 belong to the category Endangered, and 18 are vulnerable in our country. Among representatives of mammals, in the museum's collections there are 229 species included into the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (Version 2015-4) belonging to six conservation status categories. The rarest ones among them are the species, which belong to the Critically Endangered category, such as the black-and-white ruffed lemur, diademed sifaka, Sunda pangolin, European mink, black rhinoceros, long-tailed chinchilla.

Репрезентативність колекції ссавців Зоологічного музею Львівського університету.-Затушев-ський, А., Шидловський, І., Тимків, І.-Інвентаризацією колекцій Зоологічного музею Львівського Університету встановлено, що у фондах зберігаються понад 3 800 зразків 258 видів ссавців фауни світу. Більша частина зразків, а саме, 68 %-це представники ряду Гризуни (Rodentia). У систематичному плані, колекції ссавців складають представники 20 рядів. Фундаторами стали 264 особи, з яких 28 зро-били основний внесок. Варто відзначити види, що занесені до Червоної книги України: один-зниклий у природі (зубр), два-зниклі (довгокрил звичайний, ховрах європейський) ці види мають такий статус згідно Червоної книги України: три-недостатньо відомі (білозубка велика, сліпак білозубий, хом'ячок сірий), п'ять-неоцінені (нетопир лісовий, видра звичайна, горностай, тхір лісовий, хом'як звичайний), 9-рідкісні, 12-зникаючі та 18-вразливі. Представники теріофауни, занесені до Червоної книги МСОП, охоплюють шість категорій охоронного статусу 229 видів. Найрідкіснішими серед них є ті, які належать до критично загрожених, зокрема: лемур варі, сифака діодемовий, панголін яванський, норка європейська, носоріг чорний, шиншила. К л ю ч о в і с л о в а : колекції ссавців, репрезентативність, зоологічний музей, Львівський університет. Introduction In 2010, museum workers had made a big work on arragement and verification of species identification of exhibits, also on harmonization of their scientific names with the recognized mammalian taxonomy. As a result of this work, the "Catalogue of the Mammals collection of the Zoological Museum of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv" (Catalogue..., 2010) was published. After recent inventorization of the mammalian collection we found that there are ca. 3800 specimens in the museum funds representing 258 mammal species of the world. Most of the exhibits (68 %) are the representatives of the order of Rodents (Rodentia).

In the interwar period, the State Zoological Museum in Warsaw (PMZ) was a leading Polish natural history institution with a significant zoological collection and a team of scientists with broad international contacts. As part of their work, researchers from the PMZ often loaned specimens of various animals for their research from many other domestic and foreign institutions. The outbreak of World War II caused enormous losses in the community of Polish zoologists and abruptly interrupted any types of external cooperation. Furthermore, the scientific collections themselves were largely destroyed or robbed. In the case of the PMZ collection, the looting took place in November 1939, when a special unit of the SS Sonderkommando Paulsen transported four trucks filled with zoological specimens from Warsaw to the Haus der Natur museum in Salzburg. After the war, most of the stolen collections were recovered, which, as it turns out, included not only the specimens originally owned by the PM...

Collections donated by Arnold L. Montandon to the Museum of Zoology of Bucharest within the period 1900–19012009 •
Abstract. Arnold Lucien Montandon, well-known entomologist-hemipterologist, worked at the Museum of Zoology of Bucharest between 1896-1907, as Grigore Antipa's assistant. During this period, his activity was extremely fruitful. He collected a huge quantity of material, he described tens and tens of new taxa, he made collections and numerous material exchanges, especially abroad. Beside Grigore Antipa, he had an important part in the organization of the new museum, opened on 24th of May 1908. Along time, Montandon ...

Small mammals of the Wolosate area [Bieszczady National Park, SE Poland]2004 •
Abstract. Small mammals were trapped in 12 habitats in 2002 and 2003. In all, 56 individuals of 9 species were caught in 2002, and 751 individuals of 11 species – in 2003. Insectivora communities did not differ statistically significantly in the two consecutive years (trappability index = number of individuals caught/trap-nights number Wo2002 = 1.26%; Wo2003 = 0.72%; p<0.01), whereas the Rodentia community differed significantly (Wo2002 = 3.15; Wo2003‘03 = 30.88 p<0.03). In both years, the most numerous among the animals trapped were A. flavicollis and C. glareolus among rodents and S. araneus among insectivores, dominating in almost all habitats. The least diverse group was that of beech forest and alder wood ecotone (Simpson’s dominance index c=0.72 and 0.80 in 2002, and 0.50 and 0.53 in 2003).
