Population dynamics of hunting fauna of agroecosystems of the Central Forest-steppe of Ukraine in the beginning of XXI century is given. Correlation in the «predator-prey» is described. We confirmed the negative impact of foxes ordinary in relation to populations of European hare (r = 0.791 at p &lt; 0.05) and grey partridge (r = 0.809 at p &lt; 0.05). A threshold density of foxes ordinary (1.5 ind./ha) for the exceeding of which the number of predator acted as a limiting factor (Eav= –2.01; pb
