We analyzed the cornea, retina, and lens of five species of Soricidae (pygmy shrew, Sorex minutus; common shrew, Sorex araneus; Millet's shrew, Sorex coronatus; water shrew, Neomys fodiens; greater white-toothed shrew, Crocidura russula) by light and electron microscopy.

Novel serological tools for detection of Thottapalayam virus, a Soricomorpha-borne hantavirus

Archives of Virology, 2012
We developed serological tools for the detection of hantavirus-specific antibodies and hantavirus antigens in shrews. The work was focussed to generate Thottapalayam virus (TPMV)-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and anti-shrew immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. The mAbs against TPMV nucleocapsid (N) protein were produced after immunization of BALB/

Determining Sex of Sorex Shrews (Soricomorpha: Soricidae)

The American Midland Naturalist, 2009
An examination of the secondary sex characteristics of 3197 adult specimens of Sorex (Soricomorpha, Soricidae), including 50 species, processed by 560 preparators over 126 y, and housed in 18 mammal collections, revealed that the sex of 9.57% of these specimens was misidentified or not identified.

Metal and metalloid accumulation in shrews (Soricomorpha, Mammalia) from two protected Mediterranean coastal sites

Environmental Pollution, 2009
Although ecotoxicological data on heavy metals are abundant, information on other potentially toxic elements with attributed deficiency and/or toxic disturbances is scarce. Here we quantify zinc, copper, iron, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, strontium, barium, and boron in bones of greater white-toothed shrews, Crocidura russula, inhabiting two ...

First micromammals (Mammalia, Soricomorpha) from the Vallesian (Miocene) of Eppelsheim, Rheinhessen (Germany)

Senckenbergiana Lethaea, 2003
The first micromammals are described from Eppelsheim, one of the classic localities of the Dinotheriensande (sands withDeinotherium) of Rheinhessen. The Dinotheriensande are the earliest deposits known of the Rhine river south of the Rhenian Slate Mountains (“Rheinisches Schiefergebirge”).Plesiosorex roosi n. sp. is described as new.

Colonization of post-mining landscapes by shrews and rodents (Mammalia: Rodentia, Soricomorpha)

Ecological Engineering, 2005
Abstract The presence and relative abundance of shrews and rodents have been studied in four different former brown coal mining areas in Lower Lusatia between 1995 and 1997 as well as 2001 and 2002. Several sites of undisturbed, i.e. non-mined, areas were included for comparison.
