abstract

Results of long-term investigations of mammals within the reserve’s territory are presented. The list of mammal taxa includes 40 species of 6 orders, 14 families and 31 genera. That is 63.5 % of the Dnipropetrovsk Region’s fauna composition and 73.7 % of the taxonomical variety of families and 70.5 % of genera diversity. Accordingly, the taxonomic richness of the reserve’s mammal fauna is ST = 92 (40+31+14+6+1), but for the Dnipropetrovs’k Region it is ST = 133 (63+44+19+6+1). The list of fauna includes 7 species of Insectivora, 6 Chiroptera, 9 Carnivora, 1 Duplicidentata, 13 Rodentia and 4 Artiodactyla. The high similarity of mammal species diversity and supraspecies taxa in the reserve and Dnipropetrovs’k Region in a whole was determined. Among mammal species, there are 4 aliens and 6 species included to the Red Book of Ukraine. During 1991–2014, 4 mammal species new for the Dnipropetrovsk Region in general were established in the reserve.
