About This Book

A systematic review of chipmunk supraspecific classification that summarizes past taxonomic treatments, outlines methods and materials, and evaluates anatomical and external characters—including the malleus, baculum, hyoid apparatus, presence of P3, tail proportion, pelage pattern, and cranial features—for distinguishing genera and subgenera. The author compares character suites across groups, notes which traits are taxonomically informative or weakly expressed, and presents illustrated figures, formal taxonomic decisions, and a concise discussion leading to proposed generic and subgeneric arrangements, followed by conclusions and literature cited.

John A. White

John A. White was a notable figure in the field of mammalogy, particularly recognized for his extensive research on chipmunks. His works, including "A New Chipmunk (Genus Eutamias) from the Black Hills" and "Genera and Subgenera of Chipmunks," contribute significantly to the understanding of the taxonomy and geographic distribution of these small mammals. White's studies often focused on the taxonomy of various chipmunk species, such as Eutamias quadrivittatus and Eutamias umbrinus, providing valuable insights into their classification and ecological roles in North America. His scholarly contributions remain relevant for researchers and enthusiasts in the field.
