Search for: [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."]
