The effect of the character of urban development on the small mammal communities in a northern city
Abstract Communities of small mammals on the territory of Yakutsk and in its vicinity have been studied. Residential areas, undeveloped sites, suburban zone, and agricultural lands are covered. A total of 2,736 cone-days and 525 trap-days are accumulated and 388 specimens of small mammals from 13 sp...
