| Summary | "The Pocket Gophers (Genus Thomomys) of Utah" by Stephen David Durrant is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This work represents a detailed study focused on the taxonomy, distribution, and speciation of pocket gophers in Utah, specifically the genus Thomomys. The author undertakes an examination of over a thousand specimens, compiling extensive historical references and providing a comprehensive overview of the gopher populations in the state. The opening of this thorough examination begins with an introduction detailing the early observations and classifications of pocket gophers in Utah, tracing back to the 19th century. Durrant discusses the extensive variation within the species, the methods of specimen collection, and the subsequent analyses that led to the identification of numerous subspecies. The introduction sets the foundation for a structured presentation of the findings, pointing to the significant biodiversity of pocket gophers and establishing the relevance of their classification in understanding ecological and environmental adaptations in Utah's diverse habitats.
