The Cypriot mouse (Mus cypriacus) is a species of mouse endemic to Cyprus. [2] [3] Its primary habitat seems to be the vineyards and fields of the Troödos Mountains region. [4] The mouse was recognized as a new species in 2004 by Thomas Cucchi, a research fellow at the University of Durham. It was formally described in 2006, in the journal ...
Cyprus also has over 380 species of bird due to being on migration routes between Africa, Europe and western Asia including Eleonora's falcon (Falco eleonorae), flamingo and the imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca). There are two endemic species of songbirds, the Cyprus warbler (Sylvia melanothorax) and the Cyprus wheatear (Oenanthe cypriaca). Both ...
There are seventeen mammal species native to Cyprus, excluding feral species. [1] Most of the land mammals have been introduced, with only the Cypriot mouse being endemic. The other mammal species present on the islands during the Late Pleistocene, including the Cyprus dwarf hippopotamus, the Cyprus dwarf elephant, and Cyprus genet, are extinct.
The Algerian mouse is the only known small mammal species not to show an inverted breeding pattern in European southern populations compared with northern ones. [9] Researchers have explored the mechanism of inverted breeding patterns by testing for differences in spermatogenetic activity between Algerian mice and closely related species.
It was first used in early phases of the late Bronze Age (LCIB, 14th century BC) and continued in use for c. 400 years into the LC IIIB, maybe up to the second half of the 11th century BC. It likely evolved into the Cypriot syllabary. Late Bronze Age horned altar at Pigadhes. The Late Cypriot (LC) IIC (1300–1200 BC) was a time of local ...

The Cyprus spiny mouse (Acomys nesiotes) is a little-known rodent endemic to Cyprus. These nocturnal [ 2 ] animals are generally found in arid areas. After the last reliable record in 1980 no considerable effort has been made until 2007 when four individuals were rediscovered.
In July 2020, an identification key for the superfamily was published in the journal Insect Systematics and Diversity, enabling identification to the family level. [2] Several groups formerly included in Cynipidae were elevated to family status in 2023.
