Abstract

We report the rediscovery of Microtus bavaricus in Germany, a small mammal that had not been recorded here in more than 60 years. Between 2012 and 2014, a citizen science project addressed cat owners and farmers to collect rodents killed by cats and traps. Until 2017, we conducted 3,432 live trap nights to rediscover the species in and around the area of its discovery. However, only a three-step approach (screening large areas for the occurrence of pine voles using camera trapping, live trapping for collecting genetic material, DNA-barcoding) allowed for the rediscovery of this elusive species near Mittenwald in 2023.

德国巴伐利亚松鼠（Microtus bavaricus）的重新发现

我们报告了在德国重新发现巴伐利亚鼠的情况，这种小型哺乳动物在德国已有60多年没有记录。2012 年至 2014 年间，一个公民科学项目面向猫主人和农民收集被猫和捕鼠器捕杀的啮齿动物。直到 2017 年，我们共进行了 3432 个活体诱捕夜，以便在发现该物种的地区及其周边地区重新发现该物种。然而，只有通过三步法（使用相机诱捕法筛选松田鼠出现的大面积区域、活体诱捕法收集遗传物质、DNA 条形码），才能在 2023 年在米滕瓦尔德附近重新发现这一难以捉摸的物种。

期刊介绍： Mammalia is an international, multidisciplinary, bimonthly journal devoted to the inventory, analysis and interpretation of mammalian diversity. It publishes original results on all aspects of the systematics and biology of mammals with a strong focus on ecology, including biodiversity analyses, distribution habitats, diet, predator-prey relationships, competition, community analyses and conservation of mammals. The journal also accepts submissions on sub-fossil or recently extinct mammals.
