Eastward range expansion of yellow-necked mouse Apodemus flavicollis Melchior, 1834

Kiseleva N.V. 

Yellow-necked mouse Apodemus flavicollis Melchior, 1834 is a typical representative of nemoral plant communities. Until recently, the Iremel Ridge (N 54°32′00′′ E 58°50′0′′; Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia) was considered the eastern margin of the species range. Since 2014, yellow-necked mouse specimens are being captured 80–120 km east of its accepted range margin in uncharacteristic habitats with unusual feeding conditions. Mastering new territories by yellow-necked mouse is likely related to climate change in recent decades
