Distribuzzjoni ġeografika

Il-bugeddum Armen (Crocidura armenica) huwa speċi ta' mammiferu fil-familja Soricidae. Kien maħsub li huwa endemiku għall-Armenja, iżda fl-2024 instab ukoll fl-Ażerbajġan.

Tassonomija

Il-Crocidura armenicai ngħata ismu fl-1963 minn Gureev. Kien magħruf biss minn żewġ eżemplari tipiċi, li t-tnejn li huma ġew danneġġati.^[1]^[2] Huwa membru tal-kumpless ta' speċijiet pergrisea,^[3] li tassonomikament huwa kontroversjali, u l-armenicai mhux dejjem kien jitqies bħala speċi valida: pereżempju Zitsev (1993) ħaseb li setgħet kienet sottospeċi tal-C. pergrisea, Hutterer (1993) kif ukoll Kryštufek u Vohralík (2005) ikkunsidrawh bħala speċi sħiħa, filwaqt li ma ġiex elenkat fil-Manwal tal-2018 tal-Mammiferi tad-Dinja. Studju tal-2024, bl-użu tal-iskennjar mikro-CT u tad-data ġenetika, ipprova jerġa' janalizza l-Crocidura armenica bħala speċi sħiħa, u identifika diversi eżemplari ġodda minn kollezzjonijiet fil-mużewijiet. Instab li ġenetikament kien relattivament qrib l-Crocidura arispa, iżda kien hemm differenza distinta fl-għamla tal-kranju u tal-mandibola.^[4]

Deskrizzjoni

Il-bugeddum Armen huwa twil madwar 60 millimetru (2.4 pulzieri), b'denb ta' 45 millimetru (1.8 pulzier). Għandu pil griż, b'żaqqu bajda. Il-pil jibdel l-isfumaturi tiegħu fix-xitwa u fis-sajf. Jista' jiġi distint mill-kranju żgħir u mas-snien karatteristiċi tiegħu.^[5]

Ma tantx teżisti wisq informazzjoni dwar l-imġiba, il-ħabitat u d-distribuzzjoni tal-bugeddum Armen, li ma tantx huwa magħruf sew. Instab għall-ewwel darba fl-Armenja u kien maħsub li huwa endemiku, iżda dokument tal-2024 identifika diversi eżemplari tal-bugeddum Armen li nstabu fl-Ażerbajġan. Il-bugeddum tal-grupp perigisea jista' jinstab f'ħabitats bil-blat.^[6]
