First record of the shrew Cryptotis lacandonensis (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae) for Guatemala [PDF]

Therya, 2019
A field expedition in 1995 around the community of Bethel, in the shore of the Usumacinta River, Guatemala, produced the collecting of one fluid specimen of shrew that remained unidentified as a voucher at the mammal collection at San Carlos University in Guatemala City.

Distributional ecology in the shrews Sorex araneus L. and Sorex minutus L. in western Norway

Fauna Norvegica, 1992
Relative abundance and distribution of Common and Pygmy Shrews in Hordaland county, western Norway, were studied at a number of sites along a coast-inland gradient by examining museum collections, and by trapping.

Beyond species loss: Community reshuffling shapes biodiversity along the urban–rural gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results indicate that species turnover is a general ecological mechanism shaping vertebrate communities along the urban gradient, driven by taxon‐ and species‐specific responses to environmental and spatial features. Community differences primarily reflect habitat suitability rather than dispersal limitation, highlighting the potential of targeted ...

Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making. ABSTRACT Introduction Interactions

Head and Whisker Behaviours Observed During Foraging in Northern Elephant Seals (Mirounga angustirostris)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We observed a range of behaviours during foraging, including forward swimming, vertical diving, swooping, dabbing, sweeping and rotations. Head dabbing was also sometimes accompanied by the seal producing infrasounds, the bouts of which coincided with rhythmic whisker protractions. ABSTRACT Pinnipeds use their whiskers to detect and follow hydrodynamic

Patterns and Drivers of Knowledge Gaps in Global Databases of Mammal Traits

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Knowledge gaps in biodiversity, particularly in species traits, can hinder an accurate understanding of species roles in ecosystems, limiting our comprehension of ecosystem functions, maintenance and stability. In this study, we quantified data completeness in terrestrial mammals trait databases to identify knowledge gaps and data biases ...

Holocene mammals (Insectivora, Rodentia, Chiroptera) of Dollsteinhola Cave, Western Norway

Fauna Norvegica
The Dolisteinhola cave comprises a sequence of Holocene deposits dating from the late Atlanticum to the first half of the Subboreal period. Climate-sensitive species were found in layers V (Sciurus vulgaris) and layers II - III, IV, IV - V (Apodemus ...

Historical shifts, geographic biases, and biological constraints shape mammal species discovery

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 536-547, May 2026.
Taxonomic descriptions of mammals have become more robust from 1990 to 2025, with increased specimen sampling, broader comparisons, and more integrative methods. However, disparities remain: tropical and small‐bodied species are less comprehensively described, reflecting ongoing geographic and biological biases.

Morpholoical Study of the Brandt’s Hedgehog, Paraechinus hypomelas (Eulipotyphla, Erinaceidae), Tongue

Vestnik Zoologii, 2016
Abstract The morphology and histological structure of two adult Brandt’s hedgehog, Paraechinus hypomelas, (Brandt, 1836) tongue were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. On the dorsal surface of the tongue, three types of papillae were observed: filiform, fungiform and vallate papillae.

Artificial Irrigation Impacts the Seasonal Occurrence of Pathogenic Leptospira in Its Wild Reservoirs in a Mediterranean Environment

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 218-225, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Human activities play a significant role in the emergence of infectious diseases. We aimed to test whether artificial irrigation affects the occurrence of a zoonotic bacteria sensitive to desiccation, pathogenic Leptospira species (pathoLep), in micromammals inhabiting Mediterranean ecosystems.
