Viruses Identified in Shrews (Soricidae) and Their Biomedical Significance
VirusesShrews (Soricidae) are common small wild mammals. Some species of shrews, such as Asian house shrews (Suncus murinus), have a significant overlap in their habitats with humans and domestic animals.

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Motivation Given that land use is a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide, it is key to understand how different land use types and management practices affect biodiversity. Existing global databases on biodiversity responses to land use generally distinguish only broad land use types, focus on a wide taxonomic coverage at the expense of

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 950-971, June 2026.We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.

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

Seewis virus, a genetically distinct hantavirus in the Eurasian common shrew (
Virology Journal, 2007 More than 20 years ago, hantaviral antigens were reported in tissues of the Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus), Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens) and common mole (Talpa europea), suggesting that insectivores, or soricomorphs, might serve as ...

Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...

Vibrissal Touch in the Etruscan Shrew
Scholarpedia, 2009 The Etruscan shrew Suncus etruscus (also known as white-toothed pygmy shrew) is the smallest terrestrial mammal with a body weight of 2 g and a body length of around 4 cm without tail (Figure 1a). Shrews feed on insects and they use the sense of touch to detect and hunt prey.
