The Mediterranean Water Shrew eats terrestrial and water invertebrates, but the latter accounts for a smaller part of the diet. Earthworms, arachnids, adult dipterans, and adult beetles (most commonly carabids) are preferred among terrestrial invertebrates; isopods (Asselus), caddis worms, soldier fly larvae, and horsefly larvae are preferred water invertebrates. Water and terrestrial mollusks were often found in gastric contents. The Mediterranean Water Shrew does not dive to hunt water invertebrates in localities where it lives in sympatry with Eurasian Water Shrews; however, diving is used as a foraging method in Portugal, where other species of

Independent juvenile Mediterranean Water Shrews become detectable in late May, and the latest capture of a lactating female was on 30 October. A female produces up to three litters in a breeding season in Austria. Youth-of-the-year are extensively involved in reproduction. Productivity is generally higher than in most other species of shrews. Pregnant females have 5-13 embryos; highest numbers of embryos were twelve in Poland and Austria and 13 in Italy.

|
||
Mediterranean Water Shrews can live in groups with a high degree of tolerance toward each other. Although aggressive behavior is observed occasionally, it does not prevent several individuals from feeding together. Immigrants can easilyjoin in an established group. Social system is essentially open and non-hierarchical.

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Distribution of the Mediterranean Water Shrew has many isolated areas, some of which are merely individual capture sites. Many such sites have been identified in the past 20-30 years. So many isolated areas of occurrence over a large distribution suggests that
