Popis: The paper addresses the habitat conditions and genetic structure of a common hamster population at the initial stage of formation in an urban environment. This sinurbic species formed a large population in the newly established Presidential Park in the center of the City of Nur-Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan, within a relatively short period (no more than 12 years) due to a complex of favorable conditions (fruiting trees and shrubs, a thick soil layer, and artificial shaped relief). All studied individuals belong to a single mitochondrial lineage, which can be considered as “the founder effect”.
