Comparative characteristic of eritron of two species of vole under the conditions of the subalpical zone of the tersky variant of zonality in the Central Caucasus

The system of “red” blood of two types of mountain voles - Caucasian snow vole (Chionomys gud S.) and Dagestanian vole (Microtus daghestanicus Sh.) are studied under the subalpine environment zone of the Central Caucasus (1800-2000 m.a.s.l.). The quantitative and qualitative properties of erythroid cells of the hematopoietic tissue of the bone marrow and peripheral blood are investigated. The differences are established in the studied data that indicate the species specificity of the “red” blood of voles in the same environmental conditions. The blood system of the studied species simultaneously has common features and a number of specific species features that reflect an adaptive response to environmental conditions.
