Distribution of fossil remains of Apodemus sylvaticus (Linn.) in the British Isles. Distribution in the British Isles. A. sylvaticus was present in the British Isles during the Cromerian, Hoxnian and Ipswichian interglacials. It probably disappeared from the country at the time of the cold stage represented by the Tornewton Cave Glutton Stratum. A solitary specimen from this deposit may have been introduced from a higher, interglacial, level. This species was present during the Last Glaciation and during the Holocene. Most of the localities, especially caves, cannot be accurately dated, and it is difficult to decide if A. sylvaticus was present throughout the Holocene without interruption. It may have reached Ireland during Upper Pleistocene times. General distribution. A. sylvaticus is now widely distributed in Europe, north Africa and western Asia. The fossil remains of this or nearly related species are known from the Pleistocene of Europe and China. The oldest of them are dated. Please not
