Diversity of small mammals in northwestern Lithuania (Mažeikiai district)
During the investigation carried out in 1997 and 2000 on the territory of Mažeikiai district small mammals representing 13 species were found. The most widespread and abundant were Sorex araneus and Clethrionomys glareolus, captured in all the 20 investigated UTM squares. In more than half of the in...
