As most of the species in the genus inhabit areas with poor accessibility and it is difficult to obtain direct observations in the wild, digging behavior remains unknown. This short note presents observational data under semi-natural conditions for the Mexican small-eared shrew that support the hypothesis of semifossoriality related to the functional morphology of its forelimb. These findings can provide clues about the assembly of shrew communities, particularly regarding foraging modes and niche partitioning.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen: Algunas especies de musarañas de orejas cortas, género Cryptotis, exhiben modificaciones estructurales en el esqueleto poscraneal que han sido interpretadas como adaptaciones para excavar. Debido a que la mayoría de las especies del género habitan en zonas de difícil acceso y por la dificultad de obtener observaciones directas en la vida silvestre, el comportamiento de excavación es desconocido. Aquí se presentan observaciones bajo condiciones seminaturales en la musaraña mexicana de orejas cortas que apoyan la hipótesis de semifosorialidad relacionada con la morfología funcional de las extremidades anteriores. Estas observaciones pueden brindar pistas sobre el ensamble de las comunidades de musarañas, en particular con respecto a los modos de forrajeo y la repartición del nicho.]]></p></abstract>
