OVERVIEW ON THE ROMANIAN FAUNA ACADEMIC COLLECTION

SANDA MAICAN*, DUMITRU MURARIU, MARIAN-TRAIAN GOMOIU†





 Abstract:


   The project of publishing the monographic Romanian Fauna Academic Collection - 16 volumes and 307 fascicles expected to be published in the volume Guide published by the Romanian Academy Publishing House (1951), was carried out at a steady pace, starting with the publication of the first volume of Protozoa in the same year. 71 years after the beginning of the activities within the Romanian Fauna Study Group within the Romanian Academy, only 97 fascicles were published (about 26,570 pages), which represent about 30% of the total number of issues expected to be published. With rare exceptions, the completion of the Romanian Fauna was interrupted. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention or reconsider the importance of research on systematics and animal taxonomy to research on systematics and animal taxonomy, with results that can be published in the Romanian Fauna, especially for groups that are not yet represented in this Collection. It is also necessary to update the information published in the Romanian Fauna - including by taking in account the latest data obtained in related fields (ecology, physiology, molecular biology, etc.). The updating and completion of the Romanian Fauna is necessary both in terms of the importance of fundamental research (taxonomy, systematics, biology, ecology) and the practical significance of species distribution, identification and establishment of strategies for monitoring and protecting endangered species and those with declining populations, the application of optimal control measures in case of invasions of pests, etc.
