Shemyatikhina G.B. SPECIES COMPOSITION AND HABITATS OF SMALL MAMMALS FROM THE ORDERS OF INSECTIVORES AND RODENTS IN THE ULYANOVSK REGION Small mammals are widely used as model populations in synecology, they are also an important link in terrestrial ecosystems. The article presents the results of the analysis of archival data gathered by FGUZ "Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Ulyanovsk region" on species composition, abundance and dominance of small mammals during 1972–2008. Key words: small mammals, the index of dominance, species composition, habitat distribution.
