Retrieving Peromyscus bullatus from P. difficilis (Rodentia: Cricetidae) through cranial morphometry in a mammal collection
Peromyscus bullatus and Peromyscus difficilis are sympatric and phenotypically similar rodents. Because of this, misidentification of both species is frequent in the field and in mammal collections. In this study, P. bullatus specimens were retrieved from the P. difficilis specimens, in the mammal c...

| description | Peromyscus bullatus and Peromyscus difficilis are sympatric and phenotypically similar rodents. Because of this, misidentification of both species is frequent in the field and in mammal collections. In this study, P. bullatus specimens were retrieved from the P. difficilis specimens, in the mammal collection of the Instituto de Investigaciones Biológicas of the Universidad Veracruzana, through the analysis of morphometric measurements of the tympanic bulla, proposed by González-Ruíz et al. (2005) as discrimination key variables between both species. |

La identificación errónea de ejemplares de Peromyscus bullatus como Peromyscus difficilis es frecuente, tanto en el campo como en las colecciones mastozoológicas, debido a que ambas especies son simpátricas y similares fenotípicamente. En este estudio se recuperaron ejemplares de P. bullatus incorrectamente catalogados como P. difficilis en la colección mastozoológica del Instituto de Investigaciones Biológicas de la Universidad Veracruzana, mediante el análisis de medidas morfométricas de la bula timpánica, propuestas por González-Ruíz et al. (2005) como claves para la discriminación entre ambas especies.
