“…The modern fauna of the Reserve comprises 48 species of mammals, including six species of insectivores and 20 species of rodents ( Ushkov 1993 ). Valuable sources of information on the habitat distribution of small mammals in this area are numerous ecological studies of mass species, such as herb field mouse ( Apodemus uralensis ), bank vole ( Myodes glareolus ), field vole ( Microtus agrestis ), as well as species requiring special methods of trapping – the northern mole vole ( Ellobius talpinus ) or European mole ( Talpa europaea ), for example ( Kolcheva and Olenev 1991 , Olenev 1995 , Evdokimov 2002 , Maklakov et al 2004 , Grigorkina et al 2008 , Nesterkova 2014 , Modorov 2016 , Olenev and Grigorkina 2016 , Orekhova and Modorov 2016 , Cheprakov and Chernousova 2020 , Orekhova 2020 ) .…”

The dataset contains records of small mammals (Eulipotyphla and Rodentia) collected in the background (unpolluted) areas in the vicinity of Karabash copper smelter (Southern Urals, Russia) and the territory of the Sultanovskoye deposit of copper-pyrite ores before the start of its development. Data were collected during the snowless periods in 2007 (18 sampling plots), 2008–2010 (13 plots annually), 2011 (30 plots) and 2012–2014 (19 plots annually). The capture of animals was carried out in different types of forests (pine, birch, mixed and floodplain), sparse birch stands, reed swamps, marshy and dry meadows, border areas, a household waste dump, areas of ruderal vegetation and a temporary camp. Our study of small mammals was conducted using trap lines (snap and live traps). During the study period, 709 specimens of small mammals were caught, which belonged to five species of shrews and 13 species of rodents. The dataset may be highly useful for studying regional fauna and the distribution of species in different habitats and could also be used as reference values for environmental monitoring and conservation activities. Our dataset contains new information on occurrences of small mammals. It includes the peculiarities of their habitat distribution in the background areas in the vicinity of the large copper smelter and the deposit of copper-pyrite ores before the start of its development (Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia). All occurrence records of 18 mammal species with georeferencing have been published in GBIF.
