Abstract
Classifications of faunas of Northern Eurasia (separately for classes and groups of fish and cyclostomes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, as well as for all vertebrates and for all terrestrial vertebrates) are performed using methods of cluster analysis. Result of classifications are used as the basis for zoning of the territory of Northern Eurasia. Comparative evaluation of the zoning schemes by the share of dispersion of matrix of similarity of specifi c faunas which is taken into account by zoning schemes is obtained. The degree of correlation between the variability of fauna and environmental factors identified in the analysis, which determine the fauna heterogeneity, is calculated.
