Bolshakov V.N., Vasilyev A.G., Vasilyeva I.A., Gorodilova Yu.V., Lyubashevskii N.M., Chibiryak M.V. MORPHOLOGICAL VARIABILITY OF PYGMY WOOD MOUSE SYLVAEMUS URALENSIS SOUTH URAL: TECHNOGENEOUS ASPECTVariability of the small wood mouse (Sylvaemus uralensis Pallas, 1811) mandible shape by geometric morphometrics methods was studied in the Southern Urals. Nonspecific morphogenetic reaction of the species to the influence of technogenic factors of different origin (fluorides, radionuclides) was revealed. It was established, that landscape-biotopical and technogenic components bring the different contributions into the general variance.Key words: geometric morphometrics, morphological variability, radionuclides, fluorides.
