Summary "Three New Beavers from Utah" by Stephen David Durrant and Harold S. Crane is a scientific publication written in the late 20th century. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the subspecies of beavers found in Utah, emphasizing the identification and description of three previously unnamed kinds. It aims to contribute to the understanding of beaver diversity and classification in North America. The publication meticulously explores the physical characteristics, measurements, and geographic ranges of the new subspecies: "Castor canadensis pallidus", "Castor canadensis rostralis", and "Castor canadensis duchesnei". Each subspecies is described in terms of size, coloration, skull structure, and habitat distribution, with comparisons drawn to existing subspecies. The authors emphasize the importance of careful classification, noting potential genetic changes due to transplants and ensuring that the new classifications are grounded in solid evidence gathered from various specimens. Overall, this work adds valuable information to the field of mammalogy, particularly concerning North American beavers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
