New data
on the distribution of moles in Luhansk Oblast are
presented. Field studies were carried out in 2008–2019.
The European mole is a sporadic and non-abundant
species in the studied area. In Stanychno-Luhansk
Raion, the species first appeared in the late 1990s.
In some years, moles in the region are characterised
by fluctuations of the population number and geographic
range. Additional field studies are required to
clarify the European mole's range and abundance
in Luhansk Oblast. |
