"A New Subspecies of Wood Rat (Neotoma) from Northeastern Mexico" by Ticul Alvarez is a scientific publication published in the early 1960s. This work focuses on the identification and description of a new subspecies of wood rat, specifically the White-throated woodrat, from northeastern Mexico, contributing valuable insights to the field of mammalogy and biogeography. In this publication, Alvarez presents a detailed analysis of the newly identified subspecies, named "Neotoma albigula subsolana", based on morphological measurements and comparisons with related subspecies. The study discusses the geographic distribution of these woodrats in the Sierra Madre Oriental, highlighting their distinguishing features such as size, coloration, and skull structure. By examining specimens collected from various locations in Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, and Coahuila, Alvarez provides a comprehensive overview of the subspecies' physical characteristics and ecological interrelations, enriching the scientific understanding of woodrat taxonomy in Mexico.
