| Summary |
"Comments on the Taxonomy and Geographic Distribution of North American Microtines" by E. Raymond Hall and E. Lendell Cockrum is a scientific publication written in the early 1950s. The book focuses on the classification and geographic ranges of North American microtines, a group of small rodent-like mammals, particularly voles and lemmings. It reflects a meticulous examination of existing literature and specimens to resolve discrepancies in microtine taxonomy. In their work, Hall and Cockrum systematically review various subspecies of microtines, sharing their findings on several species such as Synaptomys cooperi and Clethrionomys gapperi. They analyze taxonomic classifications, document specimen measurements, and provide geographic distribution data to clarify the relationships and range of these rodents. Ultimately, the publication offers valuable insights into the complexities of microtine taxonomy and biology, serving as a crucial resource for researchers in mammalogy and related fields.
