Data on modern distribution of majority of small mammal species in the Crimea are presented. Micromammalian fauna includes 19 species, 52.8 % of Crimean terrestrial mammalian fauna.

The basis of small mammal abundance, as well as character of its dynamics in each landscape-ecological zone, is formed by 1 or 2 species: the steppe and the house mouse on the Crimean plain, and t
