In the present study, fauna of small mammals of the
Taman Peninsula is analyzed. It is shown that the
complex of rodents and insectivores inhabiting the
study area differs considerably from the adjacent
continental areas and is an isolate. Structure of its
fauna and population resembles that of the steppe parts
of Crimea and, at the same time, North-West NearCaspian
areas. Analyses of variation of the D-loop
regions of mtDNA in yellow-bellied mouse Sylvaemus
witherbyi, as well as certain peculiarities of the species
diversity, show the priority of faunal and genetic
connections of the Taman Peninsula’s mammal fauna
with the North-West Near-Caspian one
