Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Viewed as a geographic race of P. darwini by Pearson (1958), Cabrera (1961), and Hershkovitz (1962). Morphometric, electrophoretic, karyotypic, and molecular differentiation supports the specific recognition of P. xanthopygus (Spotorno and Walker, 1983; Steppan, 1998; Walker et al., 1984); genetic diversity among and within isolated Patagonian demes examined by Kim et al. (1998), who postulated the early Pleistocene origin of haplotype lineages and highlighted the vicariant influence of the...
