The mammal fauna of the city of Luhansk (Ukraine) in the pre-war period (2004–2014) by Igor Zagorodniuk, Marina Korobchenko

“…The synanthropic complex is characterised by a relatively small proportion of hedgehogs (Erinaceus roumanicus), a clear dominance of two alien bat species (Eptesicus lobatus, Pipistrellus lepidus), regular presence of synanthropic rodents (primarily Mus musculus) and rodents prone to synanthropy (Dryomys nitedula), shrews (Crocidura suaveolens) and carnivorans (Martes foina), the presence of introduced species (Ondatra zibethicus), and the existence of a number of species ‘trapped’ by the city, non-synanthropic species, including rodents (Spalax microphthalmus, Microtus levis, and Mus spicilegus), carnivorans (Vulpes vulpes, Vormela peregusna), and bats (Plecotus auritus, Myotis aurascens). The share of non-native species in the core group is 100% (6 species in total), and 67% in the ‘associated fauna’ group (15 species in total).…”
