Martin Schulz, National Recovery Plan for the Christmas Island Shrew (Crocidura attenuata trichura), Australian Government, The Department of the Environment and Energy, (ISBN0-642-55011-5, lire en ligne):
«The Christmas Island Shrew was thought to be extinct until the accidental separate finding of two individuals in 1985... Information indicating the unconfirmed capture of two other shrews in 1958 when South Point (approx.: 10°33'S, 105°39'E) was being cleared for mining was provided by D. Powell (pers. comm. 1997 cited in Meek 1998).»
Platt, «Holiday Species Snapshot: Christmas Island Shrew», Scientific American, (consulté le ) : «There's an official species recovery plan in place, though, just in case the shrews ever show up again. Sadly, that seems like it would require a Christmas miracle.»
