Dicrostonyx nunatakensis: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Data Deficient
Comment:
Comments: As remarked by Youngman (1967, 1975), this form contrasts markedly with nearby rubricatus and kilangmiutak (both = D. groenlandicus); tentatively retained as a species by Honacki et al. (1982), Musser and Carleton (1993), and Jones et al. (1997). The geographic isolation of this form, in rocky alpine tundra south of the High Arctic tunda zone, invites testing of refugial hypotheses using multiple data sets and applying a phylogeographic approach
