Abstract
China is inhabited by 4 species of Marmots. The northwest of China are Marmota caudata, M. baibacina; the northeast is M. sibirica; in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau — M. himalayana. There are the deserts between areas of M. caudata, M. baibacina, M. sibirica and an area of M. himalayana. They form an insuperable ecological barrier, interfering with expansion of an area of Marmots.
