Bird remains from Obłazowa - zoogeographical and evolutionary remarks

• Zygmunt BOCHEŃSKI

Abstract:

The majority of 112 bird taxa identified in Obłazowa Cave and Obłazowa 2 belong to the recent breeding fauna of the Carpathians. Besides these there are many species that breed in the extreme arctic as well as in the boreal zones, those with disjunct distributions in arctic and mountain areas, breeding in high mountains only, and “southern” species (breeding now mainly in southern Europe: Balkans, Mediterranean countries).
