Herpetobionts of the forest and steppe biocoenoses were studied in the region of their contact under the conditions of the Middle and Lower Don flow limiting for the forest existence. The species composition of coleopterans of the ravine forests comprises 96 species. The dominant complex of herpetobionts of the steppe and ravine forest biocoenoses includes 13 and 9 species, respectively. Forest species predominate in both forest and steppe habitats of the northern regions, while the meadow species, predominate in the southern regions. The forest species Carabus excellens was found in the steppe zone (oak forest of the Derkul' skii region) for the first time.
在森林生存受到限制的中顿河和下顿河流域，对森林和草原生物群落的两栖动物进行了接触区域条件下的研究。沟壑森林中鞘翅目昆虫的物种组成包括96种。草原和沟壑森林生物群落的两栖动物优势复合体分别包括13种和9种。北部地区的森林和草原栖息地中森林物种占主导，而南部地区则以草甸物种为主。森林物种卓越步甲首次在草原地带（德尔库尔地区的橡树林）被发现。
