Bison bison: Comments
Comment:
According to Wilson & Ruff, eds. (1999), "Although most authorities still favor Bison, several recent reviews have advocated placing American bison in the genus Bos." Still, they retain Bison as a valid genus
Comment:
Status: CITES - Appendix II as B. b. athabascae; U.S. ESA - Endangered in Canada as B. b. athabascae; IUCN - Lower Risk (cd)
Comment:
Comments: Reviewed by Meagher (1986, Mammalian Species, 266). Bison bison athabascae treated as a distinct taxon by Geist and Karsten (1977) and Van Zyll de Jong (1986), and assigned to B. priscus by Flerov (1979), but regarded as an ecotype by Geist (1991)
