摘要: Abstract This paper reports a new and well dated record of the Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus), which is smallest extant terrestrial mammal, provides comprehensive review fossil this species. Three remains were found in small vertebrate assemblage Estrecho Cave (Cuenca, Spain), dates from 2310–2290 2272–2149 years cal BP. The morphometric analysis performed provided unequivocal traits We analyse together with its records along Mediterranean Basin. Because scarcity reliable species, origin palaeobiogeographical history remain still unclear. According to available data, populations that colonised Europe most probably originated Asia, where it was present at least since Middle Pleistocene. Its dispersal process across Basin shows pattern progressively extended distribution towards west mid-4th millennium BP onwards. certainly involved accidental translocation species by humans through navigation routes, resulting introduction into large islands, besides mainland North Africa.
