Pseudomys desertor: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (nt)
Comment:
Comments: Spermatozoal morphology similar to P. australis and many other species of Pseudomys (Breed, 1983). Both names listed above are unused senior synonyms of desertor and should not be resurrected (Mahoney and Richardson, 1988:174). Reviewed by Kerle (1995a). Read et al. (1999) documented the distribution, ecology, and current status of P. desertor in South Australia
