Baiomys Taylori
The northern pygmy mouse (''Baiomys taylori'') is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is known as ''ratón-pigmeo norteño'' in the Spanish-speaking areas of its range. It is found in Mexico and the United States. It is the smallest rodent in North America. Taxonomy This species was originally described as a member of the genus ''Hesperomys''. Afterwards it would be placed in the genus ''Peromyscus'' and even the hamster genus ''Cricetus''. In 1907, the American naturalist Edgar Mearns elevated the subgenus ''Baiomys'' to genus-level and included this species in it alongside '' Baiomys musculus''. It is likely more recent than ''Baiomys musculus'' and ''Baiomys brunneus'', as it less closely resembles fossil members of this genus. There are seven subspecies: *''Baiomys taylori allex'' ( Osgood, 1904 - native to the lowlands of southernmost Nayarit, western Jalisco, Colima, and southwestern Michoacán *''Baiomys taylori analogus'' (Osgood, 1917) - native to northern ...

Baiomys Brunneus
The southern pygmy mouse (''Baiomys brunneus'') is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Taxonomy This species was originally described as a subspecies of the Mexican pygmy mouse, ''Baiomys musculus''. It was considered a subspecies of ''B. musculus'' until 2021, when it was determined that most populations formerly considered part of ''Baiomys musculus'' should instead belong to ''Baiomys brunneus''. The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Balsas River, form a barrier between ''Baiomys musculus'' to the west and ''Baiomys brunneus'' to the east. This species, as well as ''B. musculus'', are likely more basal within ''Baiomys'' than the northern pygmy mouse, since they moreso resemble fossil species. There are seven recognized subspecies: *''Baiomys brunneus brunneus'' J. A. Allen & F. M. Chapman, 1897 - native to central Veracruz, eastern Puebla, and a small part of northernmost Oaxaca *''Baiomys b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Baiomys Musculus
The Mexican pygmy mouse (''Baiomys musculus'') is a species of rodent native to Mexico. Taxonomy In 2021 it was determined that seven of the eight recognized subspecies formerly considered part of ''Baiomys musculus'' should instead belong to ''Baiomys brunneus''. The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Balsas River, form a barrier between ''Baiomys musculus'' to the west and ''Baiomys brunneus'' to the east. This species, as well as ''B. musculus'', are likely more basal within ''Baiomys'' than the northern pygmy mouse, since they moreso resemble fossil species. This species has no accepted subspecies. Description The hair of this species tends to be olive-brown to dark brown on top and lighter whitish to grayish on the bottom. The body length of this species is , with a tail. It is larger on average than ''B. brunneus''. Uncharacteristically of other members in the family Cricetidae they have 14 cheek teeth instead of 12.

Cricetidae
The Cricetidae are a family of rodents in the large and complex superfamily Muroidea. It includes true hamsters, voles, lemmings, muskrats, and New World rats and mice. At over 870 species, it is either the largest or second-largest family of mammals, and has members throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Characteristics The cricetids are small mammals, ranging from just in length and in weight in the New World pygmy mouse up to and in the muskrat. The length of their tails varies greatly in relation to their bodies, and they may be either furred or sparsely haired. The fur of most species is brownish in colour, often with a white underbelly, but many other patterns exist, especially in the cricetine and arvicoline subfamilies. Like the Old World mice, cricetids are adapted to a wide range of habitats, from the high Arctic to tropical rainforests and hot deserts. Some are arboreal, with long balancing tails and other adaptations for climbing, while others ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

As their common name indicates, they are notable for their acoustic communication. They are insectivorous. The two species show substantial divergence in behaviour and reproduction,Hooper, E.

Fossil
A fossil (from Classical Latin , ) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood and DNA remnants. The totality of fossils is known as the ''fossil record''. Though the fossil record is incomplete, numerous studies have demonstrated that there is enough information available to give a good understanding of the pattern of diversification of life on Earth. In addition, the record can predict and fill gaps such as the discovery of '' Tiktaalik'' in the arctic of Canada. Paleontology includes the study of fossils: their age, method of formation, and evolutionary significance. Specimens are sometimes considered to be fossils if they are over 10,000 years old. The oldest fossils are around 3.48 billion years to 4.1 billion years old. Early edition, published online before prin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Extant Taxon
Neontology is a part of biology that, in contrast to paleontology, studies and deals with living (or, more generally, '' recent'') organisms. It is the study of extant taxa (singular: extant taxon): taxa (such as species, genera and families) with members still alive, as opposed to (all) being extinct. For example: * The Indian elephant (''Elephas maximus'') is an extant species, and the woolly mammoth (''Mammuthus primigenius'') is an extinct species. * The moose (''Alces alces'') is an extant species, and the Irish elk (''Megaloceros giganteus'') is an extinct species. * In the group of molluscs known as the cephalopods, there were approximately 600 extant species and 7,500 extinct species. A taxon can be classified as extinct if it is broadly agreed or certified that no members of the group are still alive. Conversely, an extinct taxon can be reclassified as extant if there are new discoveries of living species (" Lazarus species"), or if previously known extant species ...
