SYNATHROPIZATION OF THE FOREST DORMOUSE (DRYOMYS NITEDULA PALLAS, 1799) IN THE FLOODLAND OF THE AK-BUURA RIVER

Abstract

The article presents the results of visual observation of experimental data on the process of domestication of the forest dormouse in the Tarylgy tract. The reasons for the migration of the forest dormouse from the Kichik-Alai ridges to small settlements of the Ak-Buura river floodplain are shown. Environmental and anthropogenic factors influencing the synanthropization of this species are shown. The negative impact of the anthropogenic factor in the mid-mountain zone of the Kichik-Alai ridge forced the population of forest dormouse to descend to the middle and lower reaches of the Ak-Buura River. Currently, the forest dormouse is found in the villages of Tarylgy and Kyzyl-Tuu in the apple orchards of the local population. The forest dormouse is considered a common species of animal.
