Abstract
Mammalogists are becoming increasingly interested in the problems of population dynamics of small mammals. Most species of small mammals show characteristic preferences for certain habitats distinguished by vegetational types. These preferences affect the distribution and abundance of the animal populations. Thus, investigations of the responses of small mammal populations to vegetational types contribute to a greater understanding of population dynamics. Small mammals also respond to seasonal changes in vegetation which influence population distribution and abundance.
