In the present work, we describe and provide measurements of these fossils for the first time. Insectivores show a rather low taxonomic diversity in Cueva Victoria, with only two different species. Considering the environmental requirements for their extant relatives, the presence of only one hedgehog (Erinaceus cf. praeglacialis Brunner, 1933), and one shrew (Crocidura kornfeldi Kormos, 1934) points to the existence of dry and warm conditions in the surrounding area of Cueva Victoria, unfavourable to other contemporary species of insectivores.engjournal articlehttps://www.schweizerbart.de/homerestricted access569CrocidurinaeWhite-toothed shrewHedgehogIberian PeninsulaGlacial refugeBiogeographyQuaternary.Paleontología2416 Paleontología
