Subspeciation in the Meadow Mouse, Microtus montanus, in Wyoming and Colorado

"Subspeciation in the Meadow Mouse, Microtus montanus, in Wyoming and Colorado" by Sydney Anderson is a scientific study that examines the different types of meadow mice, Microtus montanus, living in Wyoming and Colorado in the mid-1900s. Anderson spent years collecting and studying over a thousand mice to understand how they changed based on where they lived. The study uncovers new subspecies, explaining how things like mountains and climate caused groups of mice to evolve differently. Focusing on how moisture and population changes affect their survival, the publication casts light on how these mice fit into their environment and how they have evolved adding valuable information to the study of different species and the variety of life in North American rodents.
