The article presents a study which examines the distribution and morphometric variations of the Southern birch mouse or Sicista subtilis found in East-Poland. For the study, researchers examined owl pellets found in the Lublin region. Researchers found a morphometric variation of Sicista subtilis which has a craniometrical size generally smaller compared to the Ukranian core population. They hypothesized that the Sicista subtilis found in Poland may be influenced by differences in prey base, resulting from various habitats.
