SYNANTHROPIC ECOLOGICAL COMPLEX AND STRUCTURE OF THE POPULATION OF VERTEBRATE ANIMALS OF RESIDENTIAL TERRITORIES OF BELARUSIAN POLESIE

Abstract

The synanthropic ecological complex of vertebrate animals is defined by topical and reproductive qualitative criteria. Also the assessment of relative number of this species in residential ecosystems (settlements) and natural biotopes of the Belarusian Polesie is given. Species of vertebrate animals are classified in three groups: synanthropic, sporadically-synanthropic, eurytopic-synanthropic in the context of synanthropic process. Synanthropic ecological complex formed by species that specific to residential ecosystems, the relative number of individuals or groups (colonies) in reproductive period in areas of residential ecosystems reliable above, than in similar areas of natural ecosystems are united. Synanthropic species in total with sporadically-synanthropic and eurytopic-synanthropic species are forming the animal (synanthropic) population of residential ecosystems. Reproductive areas of the population of vertebrate animals in residential territiries are provided by 5 categories: the technical; agro-residential; bush-residential; tree-residential; waterside-residential. In modern conditions of the region 60 species are carried to the synanthropic, including amphibians – 3 species, birds – 35 species, mammals – 22). 101 species of land vertebrate animals are carried to sporadically-synanthropic species.
