The distribution, habitat, and conservation status of the Pacific Water Shrew, Sorex bendirii, in British Columbia

During an intensive survey of small mammals in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, we recorded Pacific Water Shrews (Sorex bendirii) in three sites. We documented habitat and microhabitat characteristics of the sites. Pacific Water Shrews are riparian habitat specialists with a relatively small...
