Macholan M., Filippucci M. G., Slivkova L. and Simson S. 1999. Note on the systematic status of shrews of the Sorex araneus group in NW Anatolia. Acta Theriologica 44: 101-106. Although it was assumed that the northern parts of Asia Minor were occupied by the Caucasian shrew, Sorex satunini, some recent findings have cast doubts on the specific status of shrew populations in NW Anatolia. Here, a single shrew from Uludag was studied using enzyme electrophoresis. It was compared to S. araneus from Europe and S. satunini from NE Turkey as well. The results unequivocally classify the animal under study with S. satunini and it is suggested that the common shrew, S. araneus, does not occur either in NW Anatolia or in Asia Minor in general.
