As a result of two-year monitoring (2019, 2020) of the state of communities and the number of populations of insectivorous and rodents in biotopes of varying degrees of anthropogenic transformation in the forest zone of the Novosibirsk Academgorodok. The features of the structural organization of communities of small mammals at different stages of anthropogenic transformation from native to urban cenosis have been studied. It was revealed that at the early stage of anthropogenic transformation in the contact zone with low-rise buildings, a species-rich community with a high proportion of rodents is formed. The species diversity of communities of small mammals is characterized using information indices.
