Abundance Notes
Old information brochures published by the Park Service (NPS 2000) list the water shrew as "uncommon" in GTNP. Subsequent studies (Clark 1973) reported them in much lower numbers than the common shrews, so we have no reason to alter this designation.; Data Source: Doug Keinath - Lead Zoologist - Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
Seasonality Tags
-
Breeder
Due to the small home range and low dispersal cababilities of small and meso-mammals, it is likely that they are breeding in the immediate vicinity of where they were captured or observed.; Data Source: Doug Keinath - Lead Zoologist - Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
