A total of 42 mammal species were determined and new records reported for the first
time in Çorum Province, Turkey. Field studies were carried between 2009-2010 and
2015-2016. One species of hedgehog and shrew, four bat species, six rodent species, roe deer
and three carnivore species were recorded for the first time. We also expanded the known
distribution and confirmed the presence of four rodent species (Spermophilus xanthophyrmnus,
Microtus dogramaci, Mesocricetus brandti and Meriones tristrami) in the province.
In addition, some information related to the distribution and the habitat associated to some
taxon were provided in the study.
