Chernobay Y. The phenomenon of V. Didushiсkі in the trends of the museology contemporary The genesis of the methodological decisions by V. Didushicki when creating systematic and natural collections in the XIX century and follow-up to the creation of regional natural history museum, capable of enterprise transformation in accordance with the socio-economic and civilization changes. The Natural History Museum in Lviv is a good example of the transition from the progressive for the XIX century Cartesian looking to synthetic evolutionism of the XX century. And in the XXI century marked by innovation interactive network presence as a flexible communication structures in the form of internal and external chronotopes.

Gural-Sverlova N.V., Gleba V.M. New passing in malacological collection of State Museum of Natural History of NAS of Ukraine from Transcarpathian Region For 2014 year in the malacological collection of the museum the materials of the land molluscs collected in the Vinogradiv district of the Transcarpathian Region of Ukraine were passed. That material includes 17 species of the molluscs belonging to 15 genus and 8 families. The special interest presents the discoveries of Xeropicta derbentina – the steppe species distributed on the south of Ukraine, on the Caucasus and in Asia Minor. A few specimens of Cryptomphalus aspersa were delivered in Vinogradiv by the motor transport, apparently from northern Italy.

Kaprus’ I.J., Makhlynets T.M. Features of Collembolan fauna and populations of the right-bank sector of forest-steppe zone of Ukraine Comparative analysis of taxonomic and ecological structure of the Collembola community in the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine was conducted. At the forest-steppe of the Podillya Hill were found 135 species of Collembola, belonging to 61 genus and 17 families. It is shown that the structure of domination and spectra life forms of studied communities of the steppe zone have regional specificity which condition due faunogenetic process in some meridional sectors, as well as changes in habitat preferences of species on the longitudinal gradient of environment. Correlation of biotopic groups of Collembola in specific habitats can be considered as an indicator of ecological regime of the forest-steppe edafotops. Confirmed previously suggested that only a small number of Collembola species can be attributed to a group of typical forest-steppe forms and their composition varies by meridional vector. Based on the investigations, Collembola species were classified according to their biotopical preferences within the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.

Bublyk Ya. Ecological and biological features and taxonomic structure of xylotrophic loculoascomycetes fungi (Class Dothideomycetes) from NNP "Skolivski Beskidy" The article provides a taxonomic structure, and ecological and biological characteristics of xylotrophic loculoascomycetes fungi (Class Dothideomycetes) in forests ecosystems from National Nature Park "Skolivski Beskidy". In the dead wood 11 species of woody plants identified 27 species of xylotrophic loculoascomycetes from 19 genera, 13 families, 4 orders, 2 subclasses (Dothideomycetidae, Pleosporomycetidae), class Dothideomycetes, subphylum (Pezizomycotina), that belonging to the phylum Ascomycota.

Lishchuk A.V. The distribution of trophic groups of syrphid flies (Diptera, Syrphida) larvae by geobotanic region the zone of deciduous forests Ukraine The analysis of trophic groups of syrphid flies larvae of geo-botanical areas the zone of deciduous forests of Ukraine. In general, all areas dominated by trophic groups aphidophagous-aboveground and saprophagous-water. Trophic groups of phytophagous and aphidophagous-underground richest presented Terebovlya-Kopychyntsi, Buchach-Borschiv and Novoselytsia-Kelmenets geo-botanical areas clearly associated with diverse flora in these areas. Trophic group most represented in xylo-saprophagous Nemyriv-Maheriv and Novoselytsya-Kelmenetsi geo-botanical areas with the highest amounts of preserved old-growth forests. Value trophic groups of larvae of trophic groups in some communities may serve as an indicator of its condition.

Ellenberg’s scales are used to determine ecological indices of plants species in relation to light and thermal conditions, continentality, soil humidity, soil acidity and contant of mineral nitrogen. Main ecological factors that influence the processes of formation and differentiation of vegetational cover are defined.

Hirna A., Kanarsky Yu., Koval N. Epigeic spiders of the National Nature Park "Uzhans’kyi" Epigeic spider species composition of the National Nature Park "Uzhans’kyi" is studied. The annotated list which includes 79 spider species, belonging to 20 families, is created. The three rare spider species – Dysdera dubrovninnii Deeleman-Reinhold, 1988, Xysticus lineatus (Westring, 1851), and Talavera aperta (Miller, 1971), are recorded from the Ukrainian Carpathians for the first time.

Danylyuk K. Flora of vascular plants Marginal and External Gorgany's: sozological and synanthropization aspects, interesting finds Sozological and synanthropization aspects of vascular plants flora Marginal and External Gorgany's are described. Spontaneous vascular plants flora consists of 960 species in the study areas. Synanthropic component includes 270 species, 144 of which apophytes, 126 adventive (archeophytes – 66 species, kenophytes – 60). New for the Ukrainian Carpathians species-ergasiophytes Robinia viscosa and Rhus typhina were identified. 41 species of vascular plants listed in the Red book of Ukraine, 2009 there are in Marginal and External Gorgany Gorgany. 19 there are in forest phytocenoses, 15 species – in meadow, broad ecological-coenotic amplitude have 5 species (can be found in the composition of the meadow and forest communities). Describes the new location of the three edge-areal species: Pedicularis sceptrum-carolinum, Spiranthes spiralis and Senecio paludosus L. subsp. paludosus.

Karolczak Kazimierz MAECENAS, PHILANTHROPIST AND COLLECTOR (to the 190th anniversary of the birth of V. Didushytsky – founder Natural History Museum in Lviv) The founder of the Lviv Museum of Natural History was Count Volodymyr Didushytsky (1825-1899), one of the wealthiest aristocrats of the 19th century Galicia. Fascinated by the local fauna and flora from the young age, he supported scientific research in the field of so-called natural history. In 1880 he presented the Museum to the state of Galicia, yet he did not cease to finance its activities: to that aim, in 1893 he created an entail on the Potorytsya-Zarichchya estates of the Didushytsky family. He was a generous patron of science and culture: he sponsored publication of scientific works and textbooks, and funded scholarships for the education of the youth. He collected works of art, which constituted the Manchynsky-Didushytsky Gallery, opened after his death (1909). He substantially extended the Potorytsya library of the Didushytsky family, which he inherited from his father, and he opened it for the public. He also funded the library of the National School Board. He received international acclaim for the world exhibitions in Vienna (1873) and Paris (1878); he was responsible for the Galicia exposition in the former, and then for the whole Imperial exposition in the latter. On his initiative, industry and crafts schools began to be established in the country; he promoted folk culture and showed Europe the art of the Hutsuls. Though esteemed at the imperial court in Vienna, and awarded hereditary membership of the State’s Council, he did not feel at home in politics. He was, however, forced by the circumstances to take the position of the Speaker of the Diet of Galicia in Lviv. He was an associate member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Krakow, an honorary doctor of the Lviv University, and a member of many European scientific societies, respected among the naturalists – especially ornithologists. Several Galician cities, first of all Lviv, awarded him honorary citizenship. Common regard and reverence that he earned in his lifetime in the multicultural society of Lviv made him a prominent figure that even now unites Poles and Ukrainians.
