RESULTS OF STUDYING FOOD SUPPLY OF BOBAC MARMOT (Marmota bobak) IN THE REPUBLIC OF MORDOVIA
Abstract
The paper presents the results of the long-term research of the floristic composition of Mordovia to identify the fodder species of the bobac marmot. It is revealed that the food supply is presented by 105 species from various families. The greatest part in bobac’s diet is taken by the aster family (Compositae) (27 species), cereals (Gramineae) (23 species), beans (Leguminosae) (16 species). Among fodder species of plants the ones of the mesoxerophyte group prevailed all over the colonies in terms of water ecology gradation. Mesophyte forms concede to mesoxerophyte ones. The distribution analysis of the plants eaten by bobac marmot shows that the majority of them (from 91,9 to 94,2%) belong to photophilous. The composition analysis of types of the fodder plants growing on different sites of colonies revealed the prevalence of long-term herbs (from 74,3 to 79,1%).
