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) has been much discussion as to whether it is a single species or three distinct species. There are geographical differences between individuals from different parts of the range in skull structure, morphology of the first premolar teeth, and facial markings. Some authorities advocated placing European and Asian badgers in separate species, "Meles meles" and "Meles leptorhynchus" (Milne-Edwards, 1867), the boundary between the two being the Volga River. Others considered there to be three subspecies, "M. m. meles", found west of the Volga, "M. m. arenarius-leptorhynchus", found between the Volga and Transbaikalia, and "M. m. amurensis-anakuma" from the Amur region and
