Mikheyev O. Indirect information processes of mammals in forest biogeocenoses of south-east of Ukraine.

The object is an aspects of vital functions of mammals (Insectivora, Carnivora, Lagomorpha, Rodentia, Artiodactyla) under conditions of forest biogeocenoses of south-east of Ukraine. The aim is to reveal and to study the informational nature of ecological interrelations of mammals with the environment in the forest biogeocenoses of south-east of Ukraine. The methods are system and structure-functional analysis, ecological and biogeocenological, informational, statistical. The ecological interrelations of mammals with the extra-zonal forest biogeocenoses of south-east of Ukraine for the first time studied as the processes of informational nature. The parameters of the spatial, temporal and biogeocenotic organization of information fields of different species were defined. Detected and quantitatively characterized the role of the information fields elements for providing of indirect interactions of mammals, which play an important role in structural and functional organization of their populations and communities. A general definition of "Zoogenic Information Field" were formulated. The scheme of indirect information processes in communities of mammals, including the block "information field", were proposed. It is grounded the biogeocenological approach to the investigation of mammals' information field as integrated ecological object, the formation and functioning of which is inseparably linked with the information processes occurring in their populations and communities. Application sphere is the training courses, conservancy, natural resources efficient use.
