title: Some traits of ecology and demography in settlements of the common hamster (&lt;i&gt;cricetus cricetus&lt;/i&gt;, cricetidae, rodentia) under different levels of environmental comfort in a Simferopol city park
abstract: The spatial and demographic structure of two common hamster settlements was studied in two adjacent areas in a park of Simferopol City, Crimea, one differing in a lower vegetation storey (protective factor) while the other in the frequency of human visits (disturbance factor). We counted environmental comfort as the sum of scores (on a ten-point scale) of safe conditions (positive value) and disturbance factors (negative value). A strong positive relation was found between environmental comfort
