An Analysis of Geographic Variation in Mice of the Peromyscus polionotus Group from Florida and Alabama
Sumner FB. 1926. An Analysis of Geographic Variation in Mice of the Peromyscus polionotus Group from Florida and Alabama. Journal of Mammalogy. 7(3):149-184
For more than twelve years, the writer has been engaged in a study of geographic races of mice of the genus Peromyscus. Hitherto, various subspecies of Peromyscus maniculatus have furnished material for the greater part of these investigations, and the territory covered has been restricted to California and northern Arizona. The present paper details some of the preliminary results of an extension of these activities to certain parts of Florida and Alabama, where material has been found which promises to yield more valuable returns than any which have thus far been reported.
