About This Book

A systematic treatment of pocket gophers in Utah that analyzes morphological variation across populations, describes new subspecies, provides detailed diagnoses of pelage and cranial characters, compares measurements among related taxa, and maps geographic ranges. It lists examined specimens and localities, discusses intergradation and taxonomic limits, and includes observations on size, coloration, skull structure, dentition, and diagnostic characters useful for identification. The work emphasizes morphological comparison for subspecific delimitation and regional distribution patterns.
