About this book
In the mid-20th century, as ecological studies gained momentum, "Geographic Variation in Red-backed Mice (Genus Clethrionomys) of the Southern Rocky Mountain Region" by E. Lendell Cockrum and Kenneth L. Fitch emerged as a pivotal scientific work. This publication meticulously explores the morphological and genetic diversity of red-backed mice across varied habitats, highlighting their adaptive traits and geographical distribution. With an emphasis on the significance of habitat variation and population dynamics, the authors provide invaluable insights into the ecological roles of these small mammals. Ideal for students, researchers, and wildlife enthusiasts, this document serves as a foundational resource for understanding mammalian adaptation in the Southern Rocky Mountains, bridging the gap between taxonomy and ecology.
