Trophic characteristics of burrowing animals of different ecological groups in the conditions of the central forest steppe.

Allocation to food spectra of burrowing ani-mals of different ecological groups has its own specifics that reflect their biotopical distribu-tion. Burrowing mammals of the region is cha-racterized by a combination of different types of plant and animal feeds. Heterophagous and omnivorous in a region of anthropogenic land-scapes is in progress. Burrowing animals, with permanent and long-lasting relationship with burrow (geoaerobionts and geobionts) trophic relations maintain the high level of stability and clear trophic specialization (zoophages or herbivores).
