Abstract

Based on our analysis of long-term (2015–2021) observations carried out at a registration spot in the park named after Yu. A. Gagarin (Simferopol, Crimea), patterns were revealed in the spatial distribution of burrows of the Common hamster (Cricetus cricetus L., 1758) depending on the state of the tree and shrub layer, as well as disturbance factors. It is shown that the leading factor influencing the spatial distribution of burrows is the location of trees, and the total number of burrows is mainly affected by the projective covering by shrubs; these factors were revealed as a result of cluster analysis for the spatial-geographical formulation of the problem and crosscorrelation analysis. It is assumed that the use of spatial modeling makes it possible to identify environmental factors, including plant communities, influencing the choice and exploitation of microhabitats by animals, as well as to find approaches to the analysis of the implementation of behavioral patterns during the development and exploitation of a habitat.
