Determinants of above-ground burrow architecture in the common hamster
Original language description
The common hamster is among critically endangered mammals in western European countries and any additional information on its demography is therefore desirable. Between 2001 and 2004, we explored the relationships between simple descriptors of above-ground burrow architecture, such as the diameter of burrow entrances and the number of burrow entrances, and sex and body mass of individuals in a natural lowland population. We found that the diameter decreases with the increasing number of entrances and increases with hamster body mass. There were no sex differences in diameter or number of burrow entrances. The pattern of seasonal variation in burrow descriptors was weakly developed because of high between-year differences. These results suggest that these simple descriptors of above-ground burrow architecture can hardly be used for predicting changes in demographic structure.
