Home ranges are 4200-5200 m? for males and 600-1300 m* for females. Males and females defending core areas of ¢.200 m*. Home range of one male overlaps home ranges of several females. Densities are 270-4100 ind/km?. Population dynamics show sharp seasonal and annual oscillations of 10-100 times. Areas occupied have well marked systems of trails and piles of pellets. The Kazakh Pika has well-developed vocalization that includes alarm calls and songs produced by both sexes. It sings throughout the warm season. Singing is accompanied by characteristic posture. Kazakh Pikas dig temporary and breeding burrows. Breeding burrows have 2-3 breeding chambers,several blind branches often used as latrines, and 2-12 entrances.
