Abstract

Two specimens of Sorex dispar (long-tailed shrew) were taken from the southern base of Stewart Mountain, NS on October 8^th and 9^th 2005. Stewart Mountain is located south of the Minas Basin, Bay of Fundy, and this population is clearly disjunct from other S. dispar populations, including those in Nova Scotia's Cobequid Mountains. This finding extends the range of S. dispar in Nova Scotia by 60 km southwest. Furthermore, because this new location documents the presence of S. dispar in a different mountain range than previous records, the discovery has significant implications for the conservation status and historical biogeography of this species in Nova Scotia.
