Abstract: The article presents the results of a study of the dynamics of the number of dominant rodent species in the desert landscapes of the southern Aral Sea region. It was shown that the dynamics of the number of dominant rodent species (Rhombomus optimus, Meriones meridianus) is distinguished by the frequency of population cycles and the large amplitude of changes in population density.
