Distribution limits of forest-dwelling small mammals (Eulipotyphla, Rodentia) in the Crimean Mountains

Theriologia Ukrainica, 2021
Concluding data on distribution limits of small mammals that have isolated geographic ranges in the montane forest zone of the Crimean Peninsula are presented. The analysis is based on data collected for forty years of mammal research in the Crimea, with

The Common Shrew (Sorex araneus): A neglected host of tick-borne infections? [PDF]

, 2011
Although the importance of rodents as reservoirs for a number of tick-borne infections is well established, comparatively little is known about the potential role of shrews, despite them occupying similar habitats.

Varied behavioral responses induced by morphine in the tree shrew: a possible model for human opiate addiction

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Tree shrews represent a suitable animal model to study the pathogenesis of human diseases as they are phylogenetically close to primates and have a well-developed central nervous system that possesses many homologies with primates.

New collection locality of Cryptotis tropicalis (Merriam, 1895) (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae) in the south lowlands of Guatemala, Central America

Mammalogy Notes, 2018
In January 2013, we carried out a mammal inventory in the south lowlands of Guatemala (elevation below 500 m), in the south slope of the Tecuamburro Volcano, in Taxisco, Santa Rosa. The area is immersed in Subtropical Very Wet Forest (Castañeda 2008). We

A new, widespread venomous mammal species: hemolytic activity of Sorex araneus venom is similar to that of Neomys fodiens venom

Zoological Letters, 2022
Background Venom production has evolved independently many times in the animal kingdom, although it is rare among mammals. Venomous shrews produce toxins in their salivary glands and use their venoms to hunt and store prey.

Establishing macroecological trait datasets: digitalization, extrapolation, and validation of diet preferences in terrestrial mammals worldwide [PDF]

, 2014
Ecological trait data are essential for understanding the broad-scale distribution of biodiversity and its response to global change. For animals, diet represents a fundamental aspect of species’ evolutionary adaptations, ecological and functional roles,

The impact of fire on habitat use by the short-snouted elephant shrew ('Elephantulus brachyrhynchus') in North West Province, South Africa [PDF]

, 2008
Several studies have investigated the response of small mammal populations to fire, but few have investigated behavioural responses to habitat modification. In this study we investigated the impact of fire on home range, habitat use and activity patterns

Distantly Related Rotaviruses in Common Shrews, Germany, 2004–2014

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We screened samples from common shrews (Sorex araneus) collected in Germany during 2004–2014 and identified 3 genetically divergent rotaviruses. Virus protein 6 sequence similarities to prototype rotaviruses were low (64.5% rotavirus A, 50.1% rotavirus C
