A New Species of Wood Rat (Neotoma) from Northeastern Mexico

"A New Subspecies of Wood Rat (Neotoma) from Northeastern Mexico" by Ticul Alvarez is a scientific paper that introduces a previously unknown type of White-throated woodrat from northeastern Mexico. The publication gives its insights into the study of mammals and how they are distributed geographically. Alvarez's research provides an in-depth look at this newly discovered subspecies, which is scientifically referred to as "Neotoma albigula subsolana," using physical measurements and comparisons to similar woodrats. It talks about where these woodrats live in the Sierra Madre Oriental, pointing out unique characteristics like their size, color, and the structure of their skulls. Alvarez's study of woodrat specimens from Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, and Coahuila gives a broad picture of the subspecies' physical traits and how it interacts with its environment, adding to our scientific knowledge of woodrat classification in Mexico.
