Setzer is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This detailed work focuses on the subspecies of the kangaroo rat, presenting a thorough examination of their geography, morphology, and evolution. The study aims to categorize multiple subspecies within the species Dipodomys ordii and explore the ecological and evolutionary factors that contribute to their diversification. The opening of this publication provides an introduction to the topic by outlining the geographic range of the species and the challenges involved in classifying subspecies. Setzer briefly discusses the previous classifications and terminology associated with the genus Dipodomys, establishing the framework for his research. He notes the significance of the kangaroo rat's adaptations to their semiarid sandy habitats and indicates the study's objectives, which include understanding the subspecies' external and cranial variations, their geographic ranges, and the evolutionary processes that led to their speciation. The introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive analysis of extensive data gathered from numerous specimens, hinting at a detailed exploration of categorization and morphology that follows.
