“…For the study area, a significant climate warming was noted, most intensely expressed in spring (the average spring temperature for 2010–2020 is higher by 3.6°C than from 1972 to 1990 [Sheftel & Yakushov 2022]), which may be a possible cause of the violation of cyclical dynamics due to the emerging climatic instability in spring, when the risk of returning cold weather increases after snowmelt, which leads to a decrease in numbers of small mammal populations (Ims et al. 2008).…”

“…A preliminary analysis of the entire community of small mammals showed that at the end of the 20thbeginning of the 21st century, cyclical fluctuations were replaced by noncyclical ones (Sheftel & Yakushov 2022). During this period, the trend of positive correlation between population size and breeding success in the model species S. araneus persisted; however, there was no violation of the stability of development (Zakharov et al 2011(Zakharov et al , 2020.…”

The dynamics of populations of small mammals of Central Siberia was analyzed. The studies were carried out at the Yenisei ecological station “Mirnoye” of the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences. The time series analysis was performed by the wavelet transform using the statistical data processing language R. In the 20th century, the dynamics of the population of the community and some of its constituent species (Sorex araneus; S. caecutiens; S. isodon; S. tundrensis; S. minutus; Craseomys rufocanus; Clethrionomys rutilus; Microtus oeconomus; M. agrestis) were characterized by a 4‐year periodicity. The type of dynamics changed to noncyclic by the nineties, but by 2022, four species (S. araneus, S. isodon, C. rutilus, and M. oeconomus) and the community as a whole showed a tendency toward recovery of population cycles. The remaining species were characterized by consistently low numbers with irregular low amplitude fluctuations.
