چکیده
The Hualapai vole (Microtus mogollonensis haulpaiensis) is an endangered rodent occurring in northwestern Arizona. Helmiths were examined from 47 voles collected from 9 localities in northwestern Arizona. A toal of 375 helminths was collected, including 2 species of cestodes Anoplocephaloides troeschi and Paranoplocephala macrocephala, and 1 cecal nematode Syphacia obvelata. Pinworms were the most common helminth, but prevalence and abundance varied among localities. Comparison of the pinworms we found with the types of S. obvelata and Syphacia nigeriana indicate that those in M. m. hualpaiensis were S. obvelata.

The occlusal morphology of the first lower molar is similar to Early Pleistocene forms but hypsodonty values do not overlap either with Early Pleistoc...

متن کاملDiversification within the Mexican Vole (Microtus mexicanus) and the Role of Post- Pleistocene Climate Change
—To examine the partitioning of genetic variation within the Mexican vole (Microtus mexicanus), we analyzed variation within the cytochrome b (cytb, ca. 953 bp) from 44 samples of the Mexican vole from the mountains of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Phylogeographic analyses demonstrated strong support for a western clade and an eastern clade, corresponding to the Sierra Madre Occide...
