In 2017,
shrews were trapped in the Sviatoshynsky forest
area of the Holosiivsky National Nature Park near
Kyiv. The trappings were carried out with the help
of trap cylinders set in five different habitats.
Shrews were found only in two sites along the banks
of the Lyubka River. Sorex araneus and Neomys anomalus
co-occur in riparian habitats of the river, whereas
Neomys fodiens is found singly. In riparian habitats,
the abundance of Sorex araneus is almost twice as
high as that of Neomys anomalus. Neomys anomalus
is relatively more abundant in dense riparian sedge
thickets than in riparian deciduous forests. |
