Abstract
A comparative analysis of the structure and organization of wild rodent communities from reference sites of forest-steppe located in different areas of Siberia was carried out. These were the sites of the forest-steppe zone of Northern Kulunda (Novosibirsk region) and sites of Tazheranskaja steppe in Pribaikalye (Irkutsk region). The structure of rodent communities from different sites is characterized by close values of qualitative and quantitative structure and the structure of population, which suggests the general mechanism of formation and functioning of communities in the forest-steppe and steppe landscapes.
