A possible taphonomical evidence for the palaeoecological role of the giant shrews (Mammalia, Soricidae) in the Carpathian Basin [PDF]
The study on some toothmarks on the medial surface of the right ulna of a middle sized carnivore mammal are present in this paper. It is shown here as a possible taphonomical evidence of carrion-eating diet of the Late Miocene Crusafontina endemica ...

The Long-Term Dynamics of Shrew Communities: Is There a Downward Trend?
Compared to other small mammals, shrews are understudied due to their limited impact on agriculture, lower biomedical importance, and difficulty to study. Based on trapping data from 1975–2023, we investigated changes in Lithuanian shrews (Sorex araneus,
