Abstract—Based on our analysis of long-term (2015–2021) observations carried out at a registration spot in Gagarin Park (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
