  J Reproduction and Fertility 1999 Manuscript Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Since moles are closely related to shrews, the gametes and reproductive tracts of the star-nose mole (Condylura cristata) and the eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus) were examined to gain further insight into unusual reproductive traits of the Soricidae.
The cumulus oophorus of Scalopus, ovulated about 16 h after hCG injection, was largely dispersed by hyaluronidase and, though quite dense, was nevertheless more similar to that of higher mammals than to the compact 'ball' of the soricid cumulus.
Perhaps allied to this, immunoblots indicated that the immunoreactive acrosomal matrix of Scalopus spermatozoa is simpler than the polypeptide complex of the bovine and hamster acrosomal matrix.

 Georgia Wildlife Web Site; mammals: Scalopus aquaticus
Scientific Name: The genus Scalopus is from the Greek word skalops (blind rat).
The Latin specific name aquaticus (water dwelling) is the inappropriate name given by Karl Linnaeus, the man who first described this species in 1758.
Since Linnaeus lived in Sweden and never saw this species in the wild he thought this mole lived in water because of its large, webbed front feet.

 ADW: Scalopus aquaticus: Information
Scalopus aquaticus is found from southeastern Wyoming, South Dakota, and central Texas east to Michigan, Massachusetts, and New England, south to the tip of Florida, and north to Ontario.
Scalopus aquaticus has high energy requirements and needs considerable amounts of food daily.
The eastern mole is not endangered but has suffered persecution by avid gardeners and farmers who are displeased by the mounds of earth left behind and by the root damage caused by this animal.

 Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science
Scalopus aquaticus: The first fossil recovered by using a screenwashing method in the spring of 1997 was Scalopus aquaticus, more commonly known as the eastern mole (Fig.
Habitat requirements are well-drained loose soil suitable for tunneling, the presence of moisture, and a supply of food (3).
Thanks to Dr. Nicholas Czaplewski for aid in the identification of Scalopus aquaticus, and Russell S. Pfau for aid in the identification of Sorex cinereus and the figures of the fossils.

 Estimating population density of moles Scalopus aquaticus using assessment lines
Density was estimated for three populations of eastern moles Scalopus aquaticus Linnaeus, 1758, in South Carolina using a trapping grid and assessment lines.
The analytical methods used in the present study eliminate the concepts of boundary strip width (strict sense) and the occurrence of distinctive zones with constant capture probabilities, and as such, represent important conceptual improvements of the assessment line density estimation method.

 Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections: American mole (Scalopus aquaticus)
aquaticus is 110-170 mm, tail length is 18-38mm.
The name aquaticus refers to a type of webbing between the toes rather than a preference for water, though this mole is a capable swimmer.
aquaticus builds deeper tunnels in the winter than in the summer, digging as much as 4.5 meters in an hour.

Species include the eastern garden mole of North America, Scalopus aquaticus, which is about 7 inch long with a 1-inch hairless tail.

If the person’s name is enclosed in parentheses, it indicates that he/she described the species under a generic name different from that in current use.
For example, when Linnaeus described our mole in 1758 and gave it the specific name aquaticus he placed it in the genus Sorex.
Consequently, the scientific name of Texas moles is written Scalopus aquaticus (Linnaeus).

 Species: AMABB04010
Food Habits: According to Jackson, at least 80% of the mole's diet is made up of earthworms and the larval and adult stages of ground-dwelling insects.
Ecology: Scalopus aquaticus prefers moist, loamy or sandy soils and is scarce or absent in heavy clay, stony, or gravelly soils.
Probably the heavy clay soils associated with certain river systems form the real barrier to Scalopus aquaticus rather than the rivers themselves.
