Reithrodontomys mexicanus: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Aporodon, mexicanus species group. A species composite requiring detailed revision, as underscored by the large genetic distances disclosed among Middle American populations and the polyphyly of nominal 'mexicanus' in the resultant cladogram (Arellano et al., 2003)
