Comparative chorological analysis of the avifauna of the forest-steppe mountains of Southern Siberia and Central Siberia in summer

Abstract

The article provides a chorological analysis of the avifauna of the forest-steppe using the example of the Khentei-Chikoy upland in the mountain region of Southern Siberia. In terms of comparison with the neighboring region of Central Siberia, a system of chorological approach is used, which has proven itself in the analysis of the avifauna of Northern Eurasia, including Central Siberia [1]. In the course of the analysis, the types of habitats and the zonal-landscape affiliation of the avifauna of the region of the mountains of Southern Siberia were determined in comparative terms with the avifauna of Central Siberia. General chorological characteristics are in many ways close to those of Central Siberia, but have their own differences and features.
