Comments on the Taxonomy and Geographic Distribution of North American Microtines

"Comments on the Taxonomy and Geographic Distribution of North American Microtines" by E. Raymond Hall and E. Lendell Cockrum is a scientific study from the 1950s that examines the classification and locations of small, rodent-like mammals known as microtines in North America. The authors carefully study existing research and examples to clear up confusion about how these creatures are classified. They systematically explore different types of microtines, including species such as Synaptomys cooperi and Clethrionomys gapperi, providing measurements of specimens, and offering data about where they are found geographically in order to clarify the relationships and areas where these rodents live. The book provides important understanding into the complicated world of microtine classification and biology, making it a key resource for scientists in the study of mammals and related areas.
