Abstract

Abstract: The biology of desert hamster was studied in Hunshandake desert in Inner Mongolia.Results revealed that the breeding duration of this species is from April to October.The average litter size of desert hamster is about 6.7,with 3 and 10 litters as extremes.The birth weight of desert hamster is about 0.7～0.8 gram.Juveniles reach a steady body mass at the age about 2-month-old.The growth course can be fitted by a sigmoidal curve.The main diet of desert hamster is seeds (70～90%) and insects or worms (10%～30%) in the Hunshandake desert.

Key words: Yangtze Estuary, reclaimed tidal wetland, water table manipulation, Phragmites australis, Imperata cylindrica.
