- Title
THE ROLE OF RECENT MAMMAL SYSTEMATICS AND TAXONOMY RESEARCH IN ESTABLISHING THE NATIONAL BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION STRATEGIES IN ROMANIA.

- Abstract
Despite the fact that mammals were among the first animals known to man both for his curiosity to understand their way of life, and especially for economic benefits (food, clothing, traction, various industries, the recreational side of hunting), they are still scarcely studied under systematic and taxonomic, biological, physiological, ethological, etc. terms. Clarifications are still needed on the systematic and taxonomic positions of some mammal species in the Romanian fauna. An adequate methodology for assessing mammal populations in general, and those of hunting interest in particular, has not yet been adopted. That is why there are long debates when it comes to the conservation status of some species, about establishing restrictive measures to restore the populations of other species. To understand the need for more in-depth knowledge of mammals, this article delves into their knowledge in the antiquity and the evolution of this knowledge throughout history. We also illustrate the need for theriological research through the Bibliographic List of 454 articles and books published about mammals in Romania's fauna in the last two decades.
