SPECIES Peromyscus pectoralis
Author: | Osgood, 1904. | Citation: | Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 17: 59. | Common Name: | White-ankled Deermouse | Type Locality: | México, Querétaro, Jalpan. | Distribution: | SE New Mexico and C Texas, USA, south along the Mexican Plateau and Cordillera Oriental to N Jalisco and Hidalgo, México. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Species group indeterminate. Although traditionally arranged as a member of the boylii species group (Carleton, 1989; Hooper, 1968; Osgood, 1909), a robust variety of other systematic data leaves the matter of its affinity as unresolved (e.g., Rogers et al., 1984; Sullivan and Kilpatrick, 1991; Tiemann-Boege et al., 2000). Revised by Schmidly (1972), who recognized three subspecies that correspond to patterns of genetic differentiation (Kilpatrick and Zimmerman, 1976); consanguinity of included populations nevertheless suspect (see Avise et al., 1974). See Schmidly (1974, Mammalian Species, 49). |
