Чисельне співвідношення видів землерийок у прибережних біотопах р. Любка у Національному парку Голосіївський

Abstract

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.
