Fauna of the Isles of Scilly (2014) and cedar waxwing ("Bombycilla cedrorum") (2015), awaiting confirmation from the British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee. Slowworms ("Anguis fragilis") have been present around Great Popplestone Bay on Bryher since the 1960s. The "Mammals of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly", an atlas published by the Cornwall Mammal Group lists 56 species for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, but most of the mammals found in Cornwall are missing from the islands. These include European badger ("Meles meles"), red fox ("Vulpes vulpes"), stoat ("Mustela erminea"), weasel ("Mustela nivalis") and most other small mammals such as the voles. (The species are listed
Meles (genus) Primorskii. Genetic studies of mitochondrial DNA shows the separation of two variants on either side of the Volga but their exact taxonomic rank remains undefined. A further study of cheek teeth from individuals across the entire range supports this division and provides confirmation that "M. meles" and "M. anakuma" are indeed separate species. A further species is "Meles thorali" from the late Pleistocene, known only from fossil remains, specimens of which have been found at Saint-Vallier, Drôme, in southeastern France and Binagady, in Azerbaijan. These have large cheek teeth and characteristics intermediate between "M. meles" and "M. anakuma". It is
