SPECIES Phodopus campbelli
Author: | Thomas, 1905. | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 15: 322. | Common Name: | Campbell’s Desert Hamster | Type Locality: | NE Mongolia, Shaborte (see Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987, for additional comments). | Distribution: | Transbaikalia in Russia, Mongolia, and adjacent China (W Xinjiang, N Hebei, and N Nei Mongol). | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Included in P. sungorus by some researchers (G. M. Allen, 1940; Corbet, 1978c; Ellerman, 1941; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Gromov and Erbajeva, 1995; Wang, 2003; Zhang et al., 1997), but regarded as distinct by others (Musser and Carleton, 1993; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987, 1998; Pavlinov et al., 1995a). Separation of campbelli is supported by chromosomal differences (Safronova et al., 1992). |
