Abstract
Distribution models have been constructed for 36 species of small mammals from southeastern Transbaikalia. The initial data used for modeling are the distribution of environmental factors (climate data and remote sensing of the earth surface) in the set of localities where each of the species was caught. The species distribution ranges are explainable by the distribution of environmental factors in 30 cases out of 36; 17 of them are explainable by only one or two environmental factors. As for the remaining six cases, it is likely that historical factors and interspecific competition have considerably influenced the current distribution. The modeling results for these six species make it possible to propose hypotheses about the reasons underlying the current distributions, which cannot be proposed without using such a modeling approach.
