The shrews (Cryptotis) of Colombia: What do we know about them?

Abstract: In Colombia, shrews (Cryptotis) are represented by seven species associated with Andean, high Andean, and Paramo ecosystems of the three national Cordilleras. Of these species, five are endemic to the Andean region of the country. Despite representing the group of mammals with the highest rate of endemic species, the knowledge currently available on aspects such as natural history, distribution, and ecology is limited. This work assesses the current state of knowledge of the shrews of Colombia, discusses taxon… Show more

“…We confirmed the presence of Cryptotis niausa in Colombia, extending the known distribution of this species 28.3 km north from the closest record in Ecuador (Moreno Cárdenas and Albuja 2014; Zeballos et al 2018). This finding also confirms previous statements that the diversity of shrews in Colombia is underestimated (Noguera-Urbano et al 2019). With our record, C. niausa is currently known from 10 localities (Table 2) and two ecoregions (Fig.…”

“…The recognized diversity of small-eared shrews of genus Cryptotis Pomel, 1848 (Eulipotyphla, Soricidae) in South America has increased in the last 30 years, with the description of at least 10 of the 17 currently recognized species (Noguera-Urbano et al 2019). Colombia holds the highest diversity (seven species; Noguera-Urbano et al…”

“…Además, se resalta el número de especies de mamíferos del departamento de Caldas presentes en la colección (Tabla 2), que en la actualidad cuenta con 167 especies, nueve más de las reportadas previamente (Castaño Salazar, 2012). (Noguera-Urbano et al, 2019), la información presentada sobre dichas especies puede permitir el desarrollo de propuestas exitosas para su estudio y conservación (Trujillo et al, 2014). Además, la detección de registros adicionales de especies de interés para diversos investigadores es importante para lograr una mayor comprensión sobre la diversidad nacional y contribuye a la generación de nueva información de las distribuciones de mamíferos tanto en el departamento de Caldas como en el país.…”
