- Abstract
The article criticizes a study conducted by R. R. Ramey II et al., designed to synonymize the threatened Preble's meadow jumping mouse Zapus hudsonius preblei with two currently unlisted subspecies, the prairies jumping mouse Zapus hudsonius intermedius and the Bear Lodge meadow jumping mouse Zapus hudsonius campestris. According to the authors, Ramey et al., dismissed the geographic isolation of the population as unimportant and ignored the diagnostic characteristics cited in the taxon's original description by Krutzsch.
