SPECIES Batomys salomonseni
| Author: | Sanborn, 1953. | | Citation: | Vidensk. Medd. Nat. Foren. Kjobenhavn, 115: 287. | | Common Name: | Mindanao Batomys | | Type Locality: | Philippines, Mindanao Isl, Bukidnon Province, Mt Katanglad, 1600 m. | | Distribution: | Greater Mindanao Faunal Region on Isls of Mindanao, Dinagat, Biliran, and Leyte; tropical lowland evergreen rainforest to montane forest formations. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Originally described as the only species in Mindanaomys (Sanborn, 1953), but that genus considered inseparable from Batomys (Misonne, 1969; Musser and Heaney, 1992; Musser et al., 1998a). Morphologically more closely related to B. granti than to B. dentatus or B. russatus (Musser et al., 1998a), and the standard karyotype (2n = FN = 52) is indistinguishable from that of B. granti (Rickart and Heaney, 2002; Rickart and Musser, 1993). Distributional and ecological information summarized by Rickart et al. (1993) and Heaney et al. (1999). |
