| Summary |
"Geographic Distribution and Taxonomy of the Chipmunks of Wyoming" by John A. White is a scientific publication written in the early 1950s. This work focuses on the classification and distribution of various chipmunk species found in Wyoming, analyzing their interrelationships and habitat variations. The book aims to provide a detailed account of these small mammals, offering insights into their taxonomy and geographic range. In this detailed study, White examines the chipmunks belonging to the genus Eutamias in Wyoming, highlighting specific species and subspecies, such as Eutamias minimus and Eutamias amoenus. The author outlines the methodology used in collecting, measuring, and analyzing chipmunk specimens, presenting statistical data and population distributions across different habitats. The book includes descriptions of physical characteristics, differences in size, and color variations among the subspecies. It culminates in discussions on how glacial events influenced the current distribution of these animals and proposes hypotheses regarding their evolutionary adaptations in relation to the changing environment.
