RESUMEN
Microbiocoenoses being formed in burrows of little souslik have been investigated. Microbiocoenoses of sloping burrows have most simple organization. Comparative analysis of the fauna and functional structure, conducted during the spring-summer period, has not shown the existence of any directed process in the development of microbiocoenoses of sloping burrows. On the contrary, microbiocoenoses of vertical nest burrows can be regarded as biocoenotic systems dynamic in space and time. Here in the period of rodent's vital activity occurs a constant construction of underground passages and periodical change of nests. In this case the fauna of new nests is formed largely at the expense of migration of nidicols along free or obstructed with loose earth underground horizontal passages. Microbiocoenoses in burrows of different types are not connected between each other by morphoprocess and their development is of independent character.
