SPECIES Arborimus longicaudus
| Author: | True, 1890. | | Citation: | Proc. U. S. Natl. Mus., 13: 303. | | Common Name: | Red Tree Vole | | Type Locality: | USA, Oregon, Coos Co., Marshfield. | | Distribution: | Coastal area and Western Cascade Mtns, W Oregon (Verts and Carraway, 1998:Fig. 11-106), USA. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Although Howell (1926) recognized silvicola as a nominal species, subsequent research has favored its synonymy under A. longicaudus (Johnson, 1968), where it has been maintained as a subspecies (Hall, 1981; Johnson and George, 1991). Formerly included populations in California assigned to the new species A. pomo (see next account). See Hayes (1996, Mammalian Species, 532). |
