Neodon sikimensis: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc) as Microtus sikimensis
Comment:
Comments: Geographic distribution of N. sikimensis on the E Tibetan Plateau is parapatric with the smaller-bodied and morphologically different N. irene (see account), once included in N. sikimensis. Banded karyotype (2n = 48, FN = 56) described by Mekada et al. (2002), who postulated its derivation from that characterizing N. juldaschi (as Microtus carruthersi). Indian population reviewed by Agrawal (2000); aspects of habitat, individual and age variation reported by Abe (1971) and Gruber (1969)
Comment:
In Wilson and Reeder (2005) the author for genus Neodon and species Neodon sikimensis is erroneously cited as Horsfield, 1841 and should be correctly Hodgson, 1849 (Horsfield, 1849: 203; while Horsfield authored the article he attributed the name to Hodgson)
