Modern problems of zoogeography and animal ecology and relevancy of regional informational systems formation
Methods of spatial forecasting of the composition and structure of zoocenoses as well as complicating circumstances in applying the accumulated knowledge base to poorly investigated areas and the ways of quality improvement of public data on the structure of species areals are discussed in terms of modern fundamental and applied problems of zoogeography and animal ecology. Available electronic resources of public access are characterized by incompleteness, weak methodological foundation and the abundance of discrepancies and errors. We suggest creating informational systems (IS] at the regional level, which subsequently can be associated into the Russian national IS. These IS, accumulating the whole variety of data of zoogeographical and ecological character, will form a unified informational basis of a new quality for scientific research, educational process, development of the «Animal Kingdom» sections of investment projects and their expert examination.
