Epigenetic polymorphism as the indicator of influence of anthropogenous pollutants on biological systems

Variability of nonmetric signs in populations of model animals – red soldier bug and narrow skulled vole in urbanization gradient is studied. Increase of epigenetic variability in impact (city) populations of animals in comparison with control is noted. In studied populations of red soldier bug phene-markers are revealed. The significant phenogenetic differentiation of control and city populations of the narrow skulled vole, exceeding level, the reference for the divisions of one population living at the same distance from each other is shown.
