First records of the greater white-toothed shrew Crocidura russula from Great Britain

This paper presents the first records of the greater white-toothed shrew in Great Britain – a species that was previously thought to only occur in the British Isles in Guernsey, Alderney and Sark, and more recently Ireland. The paper presents the need for research into the current distribution of the species in Great Britain to assess potential impacts on native small mammals and ecosystems.
