Faunistics--the science of XIX or XXI age?
Abstract
Rapid development of modern research techniques which has exploded in the second half of 20th century supressed interest in faunistic research. On the other hand the negative impact of human activity on the biosphere caused the need of intensification of the biodiversity studies. Several international and regional programs were founded to gather data about all species living in Europe and other continents. They also emphasize the importance of the faunistic researches that comprise studies on nature of parasite fauna (description of species, their morphology, variability, life cycles). Since faunistics and systematics are regain their weight, they are becoming the important area of twenty first century research.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a review, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
