The wisdom at the ecology of ungulates (orders Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla) inhabiting japanese Europe and northern and valuable Asia is of certain significance for these attracted to zoology, ecology, nature conservation, searching and administration. There are 26 species of ungulates 2 oE-169°W in the 22. four million km sector, among 35-82°N and 20 they usually occupy a number of crops zones from arctic deserts to the subtropics. In our opinion, the development of technological know-how will be retarded and normal conclusions could be tricky to make, if the data of the organisms inhabiting one 6th of the world'sland floor, lined via this sizeable area, isn't integrated. The language barrier, in addition to the shortcoming of overseas accessibility of neighborhood courses, makes it tough to use the nice quantity of clinical info accumulated in the territory of the previous USSR. the one whole ecological assessment of ungulates of the Soviet Union, Mammals of the Soviet Union, vol. 1. Ungulates, used to be released through V. G. Heptner, A. A. Nasimovich, and A. G. Bannikov in 1961 (in Russian, Heptner and Naumov 1961)and 1989(the English translation,Heptner and Naumov 1989). this wonderful publication doesn't, even if, comprise clinical contributions released after 1959. this is often unlucky, simply because in the course of the foHowing40years,intense and hugely certified study at the ecology and behaviour of ungulates was once performed.
