Abstract
ABSTRACT In this publication, we consider the impact of the Pleistocene environmental changes (with a focus on soil formation and other factors) on the abundance and distribution of burrowing small mammals in the Ukrainian area. The general patterns of changes in nature and climate, such as direction, rhythm, zonality, regionality, and individuality of development, play a significant role in analysing the trends in the small mammal fauna change over time and laterally throughout the Pleistocene. These patterns became decisive in the formation and distribution of the small-mammal fauna in Ukraine, when the climatic conditions, accessibility to colonisation, determined by obstacles and distance from the centres of formation of previously existing species, served as restriction.
