Abstract

The habitat conditions and genetic structure of the native population of the common hamster in Moscow, listed in the 3rd edition of the Red List of Moscow City with the status 3 (vulnerable in the city), are described. Records of the presence of the common hamster in Moscow dates back to the end of the 19th century. Over the past 50 years, the Moscow population is noted to have declined sharply in abundance and has survived only along the Yazvenka River and the banks of the Borisov ponds. These areas are separated by a distance of 6 km. The genetic differences between these subpopulations are 14.6%. The diversity of the Moscow subpopulations is reduced both in mitochondrial DNA (there are only two mtDNA haplotypes in the city (in the cytochrome b gene + control region)) and in microsatellite markers. Analysis of 10 loci in Moscow revealed 23 microsatellite alleles, which is two to three times fewer than in Astana, Simferopol, and Kislovodsk. Haplotypes of the Moscow population together with those of the hamsters from the Tula and Vladimir regions form a well-supported clade on the phylogenetic tree. Genetic analysis of Moscow subpopulations of the common hamster confirms the adequacy of including this species in the Red List of Moscow City.
