Abstract. Three rodent species inhabiting the foothills of the Central Caucasus (700 m above sea level) in summer have similar levels of young erythrocytes (reticulocytes) in peripheral blood. Species specificity in qualitative and quantitative composition of reticulocytes is poorly expressed. This suggests that regenerative functions of bone marrow in three rodent species in similar conditions of the foothills of the Central Caucasus in the favourable summer period are at the same level. Most likely, the above-mentioned is caused by the fact that the three species are widespread eurytopic species with a wide range of reaction norms and high adaptive capabilities. The altitude of the terrain of 700 m above the m. does not cause a strong strain of medullary hematopoiesis. At the same time, all three species have active blood renewal and supply of young red blood cells during the summer period.
