Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1973, examines the systematics, reproductive biology, comparative serology, and karyology of three species of woodrats belonging to the genus Neotoma: the brown N. oridana, the gray N. micropus, and the newly described N. angustipalata. The author, Elmer C. Birney, uses these species to examine woodrat classification, evolution, and zoogeography with an emphasis on comparative biology. The author reviews the historical taxonomy of these species, including an overview of the history of the genus Neotoma and its subgenera. Birney's research provides evidence for the specific status of N. angustipalata, previously considered a member of the N. mexicana species group. The study also contributes to the resolution of taxonomic uncertainties regarding the subspecies of both N. oridana and N. micropus, proposing changes to the classification of several subspecies in both species. This book will interest mammalogists, evolutionary biologists, and anyone interested in the systematics and biology of woodrats.
