Abstract

This is the first data on the fauna and biotopical distribution of rodents and insectivores of the Khingano-Arkharinskyi zakaznik. The preliminary results are based on field research led in 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2017. Five species of shrews (Sorex caecutiens, S. daphaenodon, S. tundrensis, S. isodon, S. roboratus) and nine species of rodents (Sciurus vulgaris, Tamias sibiricus, Craseomys rufocanus, Myodes rutilus, Alexandromys maximowiczii, Micromys minutus, Apodemus peninsulae, A. agrarius, Sicista caudata) were reliably detected, including the first find of S. caudata in Amurskaya Oblast (this is the most northwestern point of the range, 190 km to west-northwest from the previously known place). A track on snow has been found that was possibly left by Neomys fodiens. The possibility of residence of other species is discussed according to their ranges analysis and presence in Khinganskyi Nature Reserve situated 40 km to the south. The whole Middle Amur region is a territory with a complex landscape structure with intermixture of boreal, nemoral and steppe biotic components and the corresponding «transitional» character of the fauna. Many species have range borders here. Two steppe species (Cricetulus barabensis, Urocitellus undulatus) living in Khinganskyi Reserve or on adjacent territories cannot be found in the zakaznik. Two nemoral species (Erinaceus amurensis and Сrocidura lasiura, rare in Khinganskyi Reserve) have their northern range borders near the southern border of the zakaznik, they are likely to be absent here due to lack of needed habitats. The zakaznik is situated on the northern periphery of Alexandromys fortis range and the western periphery of Sorex gracillimus range, further field research is needed to clarify their status here. Two more species (Sorex minutissimus, Pteromys volans) have not been found yet but they obviously live on this territory.
