Dipodomys compactus: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Considered distinct from ordii by Johnson and Selander (1971), Schmidly and Hendricks (1976), and Baumgardner and Schmidly (1981), who also documented sympatry between compactus and ordii. Hall (1981:565) provisionally retained compactus as a subspecies of ordii. Reviewed by Baumgardner (1991, Mammalian Species No. 369). Williams et al. (1993) regarded sennetti J. A. Allen as a valid subspecies
