Studies on the mole, Talpa europaea europaea L. (Insectivora) in the Polish Tatra Mts
Abstract:
The present work was made to analyse the skull material originating from the Polish part of the Tatra Mts. The material was compared with the Slowak specimens determined by Hanzak & Rosicky (1949) as Talpa europaea coeca Savi and with the lowland population of Talpa europaea europaea L. from the region of Kraków. Besides the generally made skull measurements also specially conventionalised tooth measurements were made; moreover, a quantity of non-measurable morphological characters were taken into consideration, till now regularly disregarded by most authors. The systematical investigations were complemented by ecological observations.
