Summary

Introduction

An abrupt decrease in a number of speckled ground squirrel (Spermophilus suslicus Güld, 1770) is registered throughout its range (Titov, 2001; Shilova et al, 2010; Rusin, 2011; Ziółek et al, 2017). In the Central Black Earth Economic Region where the first description of the species has been made by individuals caught close to Voronezh (Gueldenstaedt, 1770). It is included in the Red Data Books of Belgorod (2 category) (Shapovalov, Prisnyi, 2005), Voronezh (1 category) (Klimov, 2018), and Tambov (1 category) (Sokolov, Lada, 2012) regions. This did not prevent progressive abundance decline of speckled ground squirrel. Occasional discoveries of small settlements in the region (Rodimtsev, 2012; Smykova, Rodimtsev, 2014) did not indicate restoration of the species and demanded their special investigation
