About This Book

A systematic survey of Wyoming chipmunks that provides a dichotomous key and individual accounts of species and subspecies, supported by skull and external measurements, figures, and specimen localities. Methods and measurement protocols are explained, and age-related variation is described. Morphological differences and interrelationships among taxa are analyzed to outline geographic distributions across the state. The text assembles quantitative tables and maps to support taxonomic decisions and concludes with a synthesis of distributional patterns and cited references.

About the Author

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.
