Kolcheva N.E. AGE-REPRODUCTIVE ASPECTS OF THE SYLVAEMUS URALENSIS POPULATIONS IN THE SOUTHERN URALSThe demography structure of Sylvaemus uralensis populations in different localities of the Southern Ural was analysed. Peculiarities of functioning of the main age-structure groups in various phases of the number dynamics were studied. Specific mortality, life-span and contribution to the reproduction of these groups in various environmental conditions were estimated. Key words: wood mouse, age, demography structure, reproduction, mortality, number.
