Abstract
Mediterranean water shrew (Neomys anomalus) is one of the least studied species of Belorussian mammals. Only few captures in the Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve are known in the last decades. The aim of the work was to give short morpho-biological characteristics of the captured N. anomalus individual according to standard approaches to its specific diagnostics. The shrew was captured on 15.08.2015 on the territory of waste water treatment plant in Bereza town (Brest region). Basic exterior and craniometrical characteristics of the caught individual are given: the body length is 72 mm, tail – 47, foot – 15, body weight – 6.57 g; condylobasal length – 18.4 mm; maximum width of the skull – 9.6 mm; height of the skull – 5.94 mm; height of the lower jaw – 4.18 mm. As a result of the research modern inhabiting by a Mediterranean water shrew Bereza district of Brest region was proved. Morphometric parameters of the captured individual are close to variation limits of respective characteristics of N. anomalus species living on the territory of Belarus. It is necessary to conduct monitoring studies on the territories of a number of wastewater treatment plants located close to the floodplains to specify modern shrew small spread on the territory of Belarusian Polesie, as well as to renew the analysis of bone fragments in the pellets of nocturnal birds of prey.
