英文摘要	Our article (Kouvari and van der Geer, 2018) showed that all islands lost their heaviest mammal species, and that the major part of these extinctions took place after the first human arrival, with the highest percentages during the Late Pleistocene and the Modern Era. Also small mammals went extinct, for example, the only surviving endemic small mammal in the Mediterranean is a shrew on Crete. On the Galápagos, no native mammal survived to today. However, in our Fig. 4, we presented a surprisingly high number of extinct small mammals with a body mass below 1 kg in Madagascar, compared to extant small mammals. Unfortunately, this is not in accordance with the data we presented in Table 1 in the same article. The single extinct mammals below 1 kg are Microgale macpheei (Tenrecidae; <0.1 kg), Nesomys narindaensis (Nesomyinae; >0.1 kg, <1 kg), and Brachytarsomys mahajambaensis (Nesomyinae; >0.1 kg, <1 kg). Accordingly, the total number of all Pleistocene endemics of body size category 1 (<0.1 kg) is 55, of which only one is recorded as extinct today, and the total number of body size category 2 (>0.1 kg, but <1 kg) is 37, of which 2 are extinct today (Fig. 1). The low recorded number of small mammal extinctions in Madagascar is thus in line with the situation in the Philippines, the largest archipelago in our dataset with an impressive endemic biodiversity. The term ‘decimated’ in the context of the Madagascar small mammal extinctions is thus undue. There is hardly any doubt that more small mammals went extinct than have been recorded, simply because of preservation and discovery bias, but this bias is similar across all islands. Nevertheless, their numbers are likely small as an effect of larger population sizes and higher levels of reproductive output relative to larger mammals. Furthermore, the number of endemic species of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) is one less than given in our article. The shrew is in actual fact an ancient introduction of the greater white-toothed shrew, C. russula, from Spain (based on genomics; Vogel et al., 2003). Originally, it was described as a distinct island species (C. osorio), based on differences in size, ecology and behaviour (Hutterer et al., 1992). The total number of taxa for the Canary Islands is four, of which only one extant, the Canary shrew, C. canariensis. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
