Abstract
Communities of small mammals of Eravninskaya forest-steppe in the south of Vitim upland (Western Transbaikalia) were studied. Fourteen species of shrews and rodents were detected. Communities of small mammals in the cold forest-steppe conditions of Vitim upland were characterized by low indices of species diversity and evenness, and also by simplified dominance structure.
