Comment:
Status: U.S. ESA - Endangered as N. f. smalli; IUCN - Endangered N. f. smalli, Lower Risk (nt) as N. f. baileyi and N. f. haematoreia, otherwise Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Neotoma, floridana species group (sensu Edwards and Bradley, 2002b). Hybridization with N. micropus possible but introgression along narrow contact zone judged insubstantial (Birney, 1973). See Planz et al. (1996) and Edwards et al.

Whitaker and Hamilton (1998) implied that eastern populations (except smalli) are all synonymous with the nominate subspecies, a possibility consistent with the study of Edwards ...
