Abstract

Bone remains of the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) were identified and described from Holocene deposits at the Starik rock shelter (River Serga, Olenyi Ruchyi Nature Park, Middle Urals). The specimens, collected during 2008 excavations, are housed in the museum collection of the Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology. The stratigraphic context dates to 200–300 years BP. Dental morphometrics match both modern and Holocene A. flavicollis populations from the Urals. The specimen is the first and only find documenting the occurrence of the species in the Middle Urals and provides important evidence for understanding the historical distribution of the species at the eastern margin of its modern range.
