The ornate shrew (Sorex ornatus) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae (shrews).[2] It is endemic to western North America, ranging from Northern California in the United States to the Baja California peninsula in Mexico.[1] Eight subspecies are known, including the extinct tule shrew (S. o. juncensis), known only from four specimens collected in 1905, and the Suisun ornate shrew (S. o. sinuosus), a species of conservation concern in California. Through skull morphology research and genetic testing on Ornate shrew populations, it has been shown that there are three main genetic subdivisions: The Southern, Central and Northern.[3][4] These three genetic subdivisions of Ornate shrew arose from populations of Ornate shrews getting geographically isolated from other populations.[3][4]
