Description
Neotoma (Neotoma) macrotis Thomas 1893
Neotoma (Neotoma) macrotis Thomas 1893, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 12: 234.
Type Locality: USA, California, San Diego Co., San Diego.
Vernacular Names: Big-eared Woodrat.
Synonyms: Neotoma (Neotoma) cnemophila Elliot 1904; Neotoma (Neotoma) dispar Merriam 1894; Neotoma (Neotoma) luciana Hooper 1938; Neotoma (Neotoma) martirensis Orr 1934; Neotoma (Neotoma) mohavensis Elliot 1904; Neotoma (Neotoma) simplex True 1894; Neotoma (Neotoma) streatori Merriam 1894.
Distribution: Santa Lucia Range, WC California, and Sierra Nevada, EC California, southwards to N Baja California Norte, México; isolated population in SE California.
Conservation: IUCN – Data Deficient as N. fuscipes luciana.
Discussion: Subgenus Neotoma, lepida species group (sensu Edwards and Bradley, 2002 b). Intergradation with N. fuscipes maintained by Hooper (1938), who retained macrotis and related populations as subspecies of the former (e.g., see Hall, 1981). Purported hybridization zones reexamined by Matocq (2003), who uncovered pronounced and concordant differentiation in morphology, microsatellite genotypes, and mitochondrial DNA sequences between northern (fuscipes) and southern (macrotis) populations in the mountains flanking the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley and elevated the latter set to a species. Matocq (2002) elaborated upon phylogeographic patterns of inter- and intraspecific diversification in the context of glacial and hydrographic changes that occurred in the Sierra Nevadas during the late Pliocene-Pleistocene.
