The authors present the material on the species composition and the number of small
rodents in four biotopes of the region explored from February to November 2009–2010.
A census was carried out using the conventional method of trap-lines. Special attention is
paid to background (numerically dominant) species which are very dangerous in the spread of
such diseases as Apodemus agrarius, Microtus maximoviczii and others. The study presents
a comparison with the data published in the 1980s–90s. The most significant difference
from V. I. Volkov’s and his coauthors’ publications which dealt exclusively with Microtus
fortis, is that in this article the major role is assigned to the dominant M. maximoviczii.
M. fortis, which in the 1980s–90s was kind of background, but in our case was met
periodically and turned out to be rare. In comparison with the previous data, Apodemus
peninsulae has increased its number.
