Updated checklist of the terrestrial mammals of Krka National Park, Croatia (Mammalia)

Croatia’s diverse landscapes host numerous designated protected areas (including eight national parks) which encompass 38.1% of Croatia’s terrestrial territory and support a wealth of flora and fauna. One of these, Krka National Park, is in the county of Šibenik-Knin in southwest Croatia. Here we present an updated checklist of the terrestrial (non-Chiropteran) mammals within the park. This revision is based on analysis of baseline historical species lists, comparative data from seven years of recent fieldwork within the park, and a subsequent review of all recently unrecorded species, considering the up-to-date phylogenetic and distribution knowledge. These analyses have resulted in substantial changes to the known assemblage of terrestrial mammals residing in the park. From a baseline of 31 species, the analyses carried out in this study have removed seven species and added one, leaving a current assemblage of 25 resident terrestrial mammals verified as occurring in Krka National Park.
