Sorex vagrans: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Otisorex. S. vagrans complex. Karyotype has 2n = 53-54, FN = 62-67 (Brown, 1974). Findley's (1955b) wide concept of the vagrans group was substantially modified by Hennings and Hoffmann (1977) and Junge and Hoffmann (1981). The group was partly revised by Carraway (1990). Demboski and Cook (2001) analyzed the phylogeography of the "dusky shrew complex" which overlaps with the S. vagrans complex of Carraway (1990)
