Rattus feliceus: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Vulnerable
Comment:
Comments: Rattus leucopus species group. Amplified description and comparison with R. koopmani from Peleng Isl provided by Musser and Holden (1991), who also discussed past subspecific allocations of feliceus to other species of Rattus. Phylogenetic affinities of R. feliceus are probably with species of Rattus endemic to New Guinea region (Musser and Holden, 1991), an alliance based upon morphology that should be tested with molecular data.
