Description:

The proncipal components analysis and the cluster analisis were used to study the morpho-ecological organization of four desert communities from Mongolia (Trans-Altai Gobi and Gobi-Altai) and Mexico (Central Chihuahua and Sonora). Twenthy charakters of external morphology of 41 species (representatives of 54 populations) were put into analysis. Results demonstrate a relatively low level of convergence between Mongolian and Mexican species.
