Abstract
The knowledge on the ecology of ungulates (orders Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla) inhabiting eastern Europe and northern and central Asia is of special importance for those interested in zoology, ecology, nature conservation, hunting and management. There are 26 species of ungulates within the 22.4 million km2 area, between 35–82°N and 20°E-169°W and they occupy several vegetation zones from arctic deserts to the subtropics.
