| KRATKA VSEBINA | Sesalci so bili med prvimi predmeti, ki jih jerazstavil Kranjski deželni muzej (ustanovljen leta 1821, neposredni predhodnik Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije). Kljub temu je ostala Zbirka sesalcev majhna skozi vse 19. stoletje in večino 20. stoletja. V zadnjih treh desetletjih se je Zbirka povečala s približno 700 primerkov v zgodnjih80-ih letih prejšnega stoletja, na današnjih približno ca 23.000 eksponatov, od katerih jih je 20,195 katalogiziranih. Zbirka je v geografske pogledu regionalna, tako da 17.216 muzejskih primerkov (= 85,1% vseh katalogiziranih enot) izvira iz južne Evrope; 11.214 primerkov (=55,4%katalogiziranih) je z razmeroma majhne površine (približno 2 104 km2) Slovenije. Zbirka vključuje verjetno največje vzorce redkega balkanskega endemita dinarske voluharice Dinaromys bogdanovi (216 muzejskih primerkov) in navadnega polha Glis glis (2244 primerkov, večinoma lobanj). V tej objavi je podan pregled muzejskih primerkov devetih sesalčjih redov: Lagomorpha, Erinaceomorpha, Macroscelidea, Afrosoricida, Scandentia, Hyracoidea, Didelphimorphia, Diprodontia in Monotremata. V Muzeju je 279 primerkov, ki pripadajo 23 vrstam v 15 rodovih in 10 družinah. Velika večina primerkov so zajci (36,4%) in ježi (57,8%). Material izvira iz 23 držav v petih biogeografskih območjih: palaearktičnem (89,2% primerkov), nearktičnem (1,1%), etiopskem (2,9%), orientalnem (1,1%) in avstralskem (1,1%). Večina primerkov je iz Slovenije (44,4%) in iz jugovzhodne Evrope (78,0%). Zbrani so bili na 90 nahajališčih v Sloveniji in 110 nahajališčih v tujini; seštevek je 200 nahajališč. Večina primerkov je ohranjenih kot lobanja (84,8%) ali kot koža z lobanjo. Približno tretjina (35,7%) muzejskih primerkov so kože, od 1,4% primerkov pa je ohranjeno tudi okostje. Nadaljnjih 9,4% primerkov so dermoplastični preparati; ti vključujejo zgodovinske primerke, ki so pogosto pomanjkljivo dokumentirani.Samo 4,0% primerkov je konzerviranih v etanolu. // Mammals were among the first objects on display in the Provincial Museum for Carniola (establishedin 1821 and a direct predecessor of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History) but the collection remained small throughout the 19th century and for the majority of the 20th century. During the last three decades the Mammal Collection expanded from about 700 specimens in early 1980s to a current ca 23,000 vouchers, of which 20,195 are catalogued. The Collection is regional in its geographical scope and 17,216 museum specimens (= 85.1% of all catalogued specimens) are from the south-eastern Europe; 11,213 specimens (=55.4% of all catalogued) are from a relatively small surface area (about 2 104 km2) of Slovenia. The Collection is in a possession of what are most probably the largest samples of a rare Balkan endemic Martinos vole Dinaromys bogdanovi (216 museum specimens), and of the edibledormouse Glis glis (2244 vouchers, mainly skulls). In this paper we list and comment museum vouchers from nine mammalian orders: Lagomorpha, Erinaceomorpha, Macroscelidea, Afrosoricida, Scandentia, Hyracoidea, Didelphimorphia, Diprodontia, and Monotremata. The Museum holds 279 specimens of 23 species in 15 genera and 10 families. The great majority ofspecimens are lagomorphs (36.4%) and hedgehogs (57.8%). The material originates from 23 countries in five biogeographic regions: the Palaearctic(89.2% of vouchers), the Nearctic (1.1%), Ethiopian (2.9%), Oriental (1.1%), and Australian (1.1%). The majority of individuals are from Slovenia (44.4%) and from South-eastern Europe (78.0%). They were collected in 90 localities in Slovenia and 110 localities abroad; total sum is 200 localities. The majority of vouchers is preserved as a skull (84.8%) or a skin and skull. About one third (35.7%) of museum specimens are skins and 1.4% are saved also as skeletons. Further 9.4% of individuals are taxidermic mounts; these include historic specimens, and frequently lack proper labels. Only 4.0% of individuals are preserved in ethanol. |
