Dipodomys nitratoides: Comments
Comment:
Status: U.S. ESA - Endangered as D. n. nitratoides and D. n. exilis. IUCN - Critically Endangered as D. n. exilis and D. n. nitratoides, Lower Risk (nt) as D. nitratoides and as D. n. brevinasus. California Dept. of Fish and Game - Endangered as D. n. exilis; D. n. nitratoides is of Special Concern; and D. n. brevinasus is California Fully Protected
Comment:
Comments: Revised by Grinnell (1922) and reviewed by Best (1991, Mammalian Species No. 381) and Williams et al. (1993). Considered closely related to merriami, but clearly distinct based on morphological (e.g., baculum, Best and Schnell, 1974), chromosomal (Stock, 1974), and molecular (Johnson and Selander, 1971; Patton et al., 1976) characters
