ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH ON THE ORNITHOFAUNA OF NATURAL AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPES IN THE WORLD AND UZBEKISTAN

This article analyzes scientific research devoted to the study of ornithofauna at the global level, within CIS countries, and across Uzbekistan. It highlights the ecological functions of birds in ecosystems, their migratory routes, population dynamics in anthropogenic landscapes, and conservation strategies. Works by international scholars, including field guides, systematic descriptions, and ecological studies, have provided methodological foundations for the development of ornithology in Uzbekistan. Since the early nineteenth century, ornithofauna has been studied in Uzbekistan, and in recent years significant results have been achieved regarding the biology, ecology, and seasonal movements of birds in agrocenoses, urbanized areas, and aquatic habitats.
