Abstract

The biotopic distribution and population number dynamics of Chinese striped hamster (Cricetulus barabensis Pallas, 1773) were studied at the species’ range edge in the Amur region – in the Khingansky State Nature Reserve and adjacent territories. Preferred habitats of Chinese striped hamster, a representative of the steppe faunal complex, were identified. Changes in the population numbers were studied in correlation with natural (moistening) and anthropogenic (plowing) factors.
