Abstract

The publication about modern mammalogists contains an overview of the biography and achievements of senior colleagues (60+), thanks to whom modern scientific schools and centres, research directions and traditions in social work were formed. The features of the galaxy of senior colleagues who became role models, teachers, opponents, and consultants for many young scientists are briefly considered. An additional section of the issue is devoted to a review of contributions of colleagues who are involved in the development of theriology, in particular collectors, taxidermists, museologists, and animal artists. Information about the specifics of formation of essays, their structure and scope is also provided; the names of people whose participation was especially valuable in organizing this issue are listed and they are acknowledged.
