| Summary |
"The Pigmy Woodrat, Neotoma goldmani, Its Distribution and Systematic Position" by Dennis G. Rainey and Rollin H. Baker is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This work focuses on the systematic classification and geographic distribution of the pigmy woodrat, one of the smallest members of the Neotoma genus. This book contributes to the understanding of this species through detailed examination and findings based on extensive fieldwork. The publication describes the characteristics, habitat, and range of the pigmy woodrat, elaborating on its physical resemblance to other species within the Neotoma genus, particularly Neotoma albigula and Neotoma lepida. The authors present comparative anatomical data, highlight the significance of cranial measurements, and explain the relationship of the pigmy woodrat to other taxa. Additionally, they discuss the known distribution of the species across various regions in Mexico, based on specimens collected from several states, providing a clearer understanding of its ecological niche and evolutionary classification within the group.
