abstract

Information is provided on the findings of various mammal species in Verkhniodniprovsky Raion, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (now part of Kamiansky Raion). The landscapes of the study area are represented by a unique steppe-river complex on the right bank of the northern strip of the steppe Dnipro region. It is diversified by the basins of the Omelnyk, Domotkan, and Samotkan rivers, the upper reaches of the Mokray Sura and Saksagan rivers, as well as the system of basins of the first-order tributaries of the Kamiansk Reservoir. The area is characterised by high economic development, the ploughing of the territory is 81.5%. The information is provided in two parts: finds and registrations of meadow-steppe and forest species. The first part of finds contains data on the Podolian mole-rat and the hillock mouse, the second one includes records of the forest dormouse, the red squirrel, and the European badger.
