Spatial-typological structure and organization of the population of small mammals in the Prealtai Plain

Аннотация

Basing on materials collected in 1963, 1998, and 2009–2016, we describe subzonal changes in the population of small mammals in the Prealtai Plain, provide their classification, investigate the spatial–typological structure, and estimate the dependence of heterogeneity of communities on environmental factors. We compare the heterogeneity rate of the populations of West Siberian and Prealtai plains and mountain provinces of Altai.
