Ways of formation of synanthropic population of Tetrapoda vertebrates in residential territories in the conditions of south-west Belarus

The aim of the article is to determine the main ways of formation of the synanthropic population of Tetrapoda in residential areas in the south-west Belarus based on our research results and literature data. The results of studies on the structure and dynamics of the population of Tetrapoda on the lands of settlements and adjacent territories of the south-west part of Belarus (Brest region) are summarized. Ecological features of the emergence of regionally new species are considered. The main ways of formation of the synanthropic population of Tetrapoda (geographical, landscape, stationary (ecotopic), exanthropic) in residential areas are determined. Over the last decade, a five-fold increase in the number of new species of the synanthropic ecological complex of Tetrapoda has been observed in residential areas in the north of the Brest region compared to the south-west of this region.
