Castor fiber: Comments
Comment:
Comments: Reviewed by Heidecke (1986), who recognized eight subspecies, and Véron (1992b), who recognized six; neither supported Lavrov (1983) in treating C. albicus as a separate species. Subspecific boundaries and resultant synonymies are unclear and further obscured by historical translocations and reintroductions
Comment:
Status: U. S. ESA - Endangered as C. fiber birulai; IUCN - Critically Endangered as C. f. tuvinicus, Vulnerable as C. f. birulai and C. f. pohlei; otherwise Near Threatened
