Gerbillus tarabuli: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (nt) as G. riggenbachi, Lower Risk (lc) as G. tarabuli
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Gerbillus. Usually listed as a synonym of G. pyramidum (see Pavlinov et al., 1990), Lay et al. (1975) noted that tarabuli could be distinguished by morphological traits. Future inquiry, according to Lay (1983:347) '... should examine the possibility that the 2n = 40 ... forms reported from Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Senegal ... are conspecific and may be referable to G. tarabuli.' Granjon et al. (1999) have examined the distribution of samples with the 2n = 40 complement and using analyses of of G- and C-banding and morphometric data redefined the species limits of g. tarabuli and its geographic distribution, as outlined above
