abstract

Until recently, the distribution of the hamster in Poltava Oblast was known only by its finding in the summer of 1990, when two dead bodies were found in the meadows near the village of Leliaky in Pyriatyn Raion. Four new locations of this species have been described. In two cases, these were corpses found near the village of Deimanivka in November 2014 and in June 2021. The third and fourth findings also relate to Pyriatyn ATC (Lubny Raion): near the village of Mechenky, a hamster was found during hay harvesting, and near the village of Velyka Krucha, a hamster was found in a freshly ploughed field. The habitats of the species in the region are protected by the Pyriatynskyi National Nature Park.
