Description:

The common shrew Sorex araneus Linnaeus, 1758 and pygmy shrew S. minutus Linnaeus, 1766 were live-trapped for 10 months in a spruce plantation. Mean home range size were 1058 (SD = 381) m2 for the common shrew and 2146 (SD=147) m2 for the pygmy shrew. The density estimates of S. araneus varied from 4 ind/ha in winter to 26 ind/ha in summer, and these of S. minutus were 2 ind/ha and 7 ind/ha, respectively. Peak densities for booth species occurred during August. It appears that maintaining a viable population of these two shrew species in this spruce plantation requires no special precaution.
