The Pigmy Woodrat, Neotoma goldmani, Its Distribution and Systematic Position

"The Pigmy Woodrat, Neotoma goldmani, Its Distribution and Systematic Position" by Dennis G. Rainey explores the world of the tiny pigmy woodrat, a little-known member of the Neotoma family, zeroing in on where it lives and how it fits into the bigger picture of rodent classification. Through careful observations in the field, the book uncovers the pigmy woodrat's specific features, where it makes its home, and the areas it roams in Mexico, while also pointing out its similarities and differences with its close relatives, like the white-throated woodrat and desert woodrat, using skull measurements and anatomy to sort out its unique place in the animal kingdom, providing key insights into this creature's life and evolutionary connections.
