  Voichyshyn V. K. Vertebrate fauna genesis in the Middle Paleozoic Podolian paleobasin // Proc. of the State Nat. Hist. Mus. - Lviv, 2020. - 36. - P. 195-208. DOI: https://doi.org/10.36885/nzdpm.2020.36.195-208 Key words: ichthyofauna, faunogenesis, paleogeography, paleoecology, Early Devonian, Podillya The formation of the Early Devonian ichthyofauna occurred under the combined influence of historical, paleogeographic and paleoecological factors. A consequence of evolutionary development at the beginning of the Devonian period arose a number of high-ranking taxa of sea vertebrates, which actively colonized the shallow water basins of new continent Laurussia. For representatives of local endemic faunas there was an opportunity to expand their habitats. There were exchanges of migrants between neighboring regional faunas. All this was accompanied by the evolution of ecosystems, the formation and development of new ecological niches. Early Devonian for most groups of vertebrates was marked by a sharp increase in the number of taxonomic units. The formation of Podillya regional ichthyofauna illustrates these trends of global biotic changes in that time.
