Taxonomy and Distribution of Some American Shrews by James S. Findley
"Taxonomy and Distribution of Some American Shrews" by James S. Findley is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This work focuses on the classification and geographical distribution of various species of shrews found in America. It presents detailed examinations of specific shrew specimens, offering insights that contribute to the broader understanding of these small mammals. In this publication, Findley discusses several species and subspecies of American shrews, providing taxonomic classificationsbased on physical measurements and geographic ranges. He highlights the significance of specific specimens collected from various locations, including Ohio and Mexico, and notes how these findings extend the known ranges of certain categories, such as "Sorex cinereus ohionensis". The work emphasizes the importance of cranial measurements in differentiating between closely related species, ultimately suggesting that further research is necessary to refine classifications and understand evolutionary relationships among these shrews.
