About This Book

A comparative anatomical study of the baculum in microtine rodents describing its orientation relative to the urethra and corpus cavernosum, typical structure (elongate stalk, expanded base, and terminal digitate processes), and variation in curvature, proportions, and secondary ossifications across species and developmental stages. The author documents methods for removing, clearing, and staining penis specimens (potassium hydroxide and Alizarin red‑S) to reveal bacular morphology, presents measurements and illustrations, and discusses how baculum characters vary with age and body size and how they can be used, alongside other traits, to assess species-level relationships.

His work contributed significantly to the understanding of various species within these groups, with a focus on their subspeciation and ecological ranges. Among his key publications are "Extensions of Known Ranges of Mexican Bats" and "Mammals of Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado," which reflect his dedication to documenting and analyzing mammalian diversity in North America. Anderson's research has been influential in the fields of wildlife biology and conservation, providing valuable insights into the habitats and behaviors of lesser-known species.
