About the Department of Zoology

 

The Department of Zoology was established in early 1928 and was headed by Professor A. Zavadsky. In 1934, as part of the Department of Zoology, an independent Department of Vertebrate Zoology was formed, the first head of which was Professor B. G. Turkevich.

Thus, the department of zoology was divided into two independent departments, and scientific research was carried out to study the fauna, biology, ecology and practical significance of the Zeravshan oasis, invertebrates and vertebrates.

To date, the department has 3 doctors of science, professors, 7 candidates of science, associate professors, 1 candidate of science, associate professor, 2 PhD assistants, 1 senior lecturer and 5 teaching assistants.

The department operates the only Zoological Museum in Central Asia. The Zoological Museum has been funded as a "Unique Object" since 2008.

The department has an entomological collection containing 10,000 species of insects, consisting of 100,000 exhibits highly appreciated by specialists.

A valuable osteological collection of fossil remains of the Quaternary period was created on the initiative of Professor B.Kh. Botirov and is highly valued by paleozoologists of the CIS.

Professors and teachers of the department conduct scientific research on the basis of agreements with the CIS, the University of Vermont, USA, the FA of the Zoological Institute of Uzbekistan.

The department has 5140100 - bachelor's degree, 5A140101 - biology, 5A140108 - zoology, 5A140103 - master's degree in ichthyology and hydrobiology, 03.00.06.-doctorate in zoology.

To date, the teachers of the department have created about 50 textbooks, manuals, lecture texts, teaching aids, collections and instructions. They also published more than 10 monographs, more than 40 scientific and popular science brochures, about 40 scientific collections, more than 1500 scientific and popular science articles.
