Abstract
The paper deals with the structure and organization of summer bird assemblages in the Khentii-Chikoy Highland and presents the analysis of data collected in the 1981–1985 and 1989–2016 periods. Previously, only materials from the first period (up to 1985) were analyzed. Since then, the previously used software has been significantly updated. The present work is aimed at comparing the results obtained in the first stage of the studies with those obtained with the new data that have been supplemented and updated software used for their processing. The work has been carried out according to a relatively new line of investigation—the zoogeographical factor, using the techniques of applied statistics. The latter proved to be much more efficient in solving the problems than the previously used approach. Using the recently modernized mathematical apparatus and the samples supplemented with newly collected materials, a greater degree of generalization of the concept has been achieved, although the territorial trends revealed in the bird complexes are strikingly similar in both cases. The similarity is confirmed by the non-metric scaling.
