A total of 146 individuals were captured, composed of 84 soricomorpha specimens and 62 rodentia specimens, which included 13 species of soricomorpha and 8 species of rodentia from 72 traps of 6 study sites. Based on this and former surveys, there were 17 soricomorpha species belonging to 11 genera and 2 families in this area. Scaptonyx fusicaudus, Scapanulus oweni, Episoriculus caudatus, Blarinella quadraticauda of soricomorpha and Vernaya fulva of rodentia were the first records in Sichuan Jiuzhaigou National Nature Reserve.
