Oligoryzomys flavescens: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Chromosomal variation reported and taxonomic implications discussed by Sbalqueiro et al. (1991); allozymic polymorphisms and gene flow among populations distributed along the lower Río Paraná, EC Argentina, discussed by Chiappero et al. (1997). Morphometrically (Myers and Carleton, 1981) and karyotypically (Sbalqueiro et al., 1991) similar to O. fornesi; their level of differentiation deserves further illumination (see next). In their informal review, Carleton and Musser (1989) acknowledged...
