Bachura O.P., Kosintsev P.A. THE FAUNA OF MAMMALS IN LATE PLEISTOCENE AND HOLOCENE IN THE SOUTH URALSThe authors examined a change in composition and structure of the fauna of small and large mammals in the mountain and plains part of the South Urals in the temporary section of 33000-200 years ago. The decrease of number and fractions of the forms of the open landscapes is shown that in the time occurred an increase in number and fractions of forms, connected with the tree-shrub and mesophitic vegetation and decrease in number and fractions of forms. Change in the fauna of large mammals occurred as a result extinction and change in the areas; and the fauna of the small mammals only as a result of a change in the areas. Key words: mammals, fauna, late Pleistocene, Holocene, the South Urals.
