WHITE + + +The differences in anatomy and color between many species of chipmunks +are subtle, and refined techniques are required to discover them. +When "measuring" chipmunks taxonomically, it is necessary to use a +"chipmunk scale" and not, for example, a "pocket-gopher scale." In +explanation, some species of pocket gophers closely allied to each +other, and even some subspecies of the same species, differ markedly +in color and in size and shape of parts of the skeleton; comparable +differences are not so pronounced among many species of chipmunks. + + + HISTORICAL SUMMARY + +Merriam (1905) was the first to show clearly that _Eutamias +quadrivittatus_ is a distinct species, and pointed out that _E. +amoenus operarius_ (= _E. minimus operarius_) is a small species +which resembles, and is found in some areas together with, _E. +quadrivittatus_. + +Howell (1929) placed under _E. quadrivittatus_ the following +subspecies: _E. q. quadrivittatus_, _E. q. hopiensis_, _E. q. +inyoensis_, _E. q. frater_, _E. q. sequoiensis_, and _E. q. +speciosus_. + +Hardy (1945) placed _E. adsitus_ under _E. quadrivittatus_ as _E. q. +adsitus_, and Kelson (1951) placed _E. umbrinus_ under _E. +quadrivittatus_ as _E. q. umbrinus_. + +Johnson (1943) re-established _E. speciosus_ as a separate species, +and in California left only _E. q. inyoensis_ in _E. quadrivittatus_. + +Thus, since 1943 the recognized subspecies of _E. quadrivittatus_ have +been: _E. q. quadrivittatus_, _E. q. hopiensis_, _E. q. inyoensis_, +_E. q. nevadensis_, _E. q. umbrinus_, and _E. q. adsitus_. + + + METHODS, MATERIALS, AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS + + Capitalized color terms, which are used in descriptions and + comparisons, are of Ridgway, "Color Standards and Color + Nomenclature," Washington, D. C., 1912. + + In the synonymy of each subspecies there appears only the + first usage of a name, second the first usage of the name + combination now employed unless a new combination is proposed + by me, and third pure synonyms. The last is recognizable as + such because the type locality is appended to each. + + Unless otherwise specified, all specimens are in the Museum + of Natural History, University of Kansas. The various + collections of institutions and of private persons are + indicated by the following symbols: + + AM--American Museum of Natural History. + BS--United States Biological Surveys Collection. + CM--Colorado Museum of Natural History. + DC--Collection of Donald R. Dickey (now the collection of the + University of California at Los Angeles). + FC--Collection of James S. Findley. + KU--Museum of Natural History, University of Kansas. + MM--Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan. + NM--United States National Museum. + UU--Museum of Zoology, University of Utah. + WC--Collection of Edward R. Warren, Colorado College. + + Of the external measurements, only the total length and + the length of the tail are recorded in table 1. Some field + collectors measured the ear from the notch and others from + the crown; most collectors measured the length of the hind + foot to the nearest millimeter rather than in tenths of a + millimeter, as would have been desired. Consequently, I + decided against using the lengths of the ear and hind foot in + the study here reported on. + + The measurements of the skull were made as shown in figure 1. + + [Illustration: FIG. 1. Dorsal view of skull and a lateral and + a medial view of the right lower jaw to show points between + which measurements of the skull were taken. x 1-3/4. Based on + _Eutamias ruficaudus ruficaudus_, from 6 mi. S St. Mary, 6500 + ft., Glacier Co., Montana.

Bacula of each of the named kinds of + chipmunks in this paper, were examined. + + Whenever two or more samples are stated to be significantly + different, the meaning is that the difference is + statistically significant. + + The geographic distribution of each subspecies and the + localities of specimens or series of specimens are plotted on + the map (fig. 2). + + When comparisons were made to ascertain specific and + subspecific differences, only adults, or animals in which the + enamel was worn through on the permanent P4 and p4 were used. + Within this age range, only specimens in comparable pelage + were used to ascertain differences in color. + + Miss Viola S. Schantz of the United States Fish and Wildlife + Service, Mr. Alfred Bailey of the Colorado Museum of Natural + History, Dr. W. H. Burt of the Museum of Zoology of the + University of Michigan, Dr. Stephen D. Durrant of the Museum + of Zoology of the University of Utah, Dr. Robert M.

The color +which is characteristic of _E. q. hopiensis_ seems to be helpful in +adapting this subspecies to this habitat of red sandstone, for these +chipmunks are generally found in the rubble and among the pinon at the +base of the cliffs. At many places in Utah above these cliffs of red +sandstone there are forests predominantly composed of yellow pine. +Kelson (1951:42-43) states that "these two habitats are in immediate +juxtaposition, the transition from one to the other often occurring in +only a few feet ..." and again, "No one to my knowledge, has found any +evidence in specimens from Utah of interbreeding of _E. q. hopiensis_ +with either _E. q. adsitus_ [= _E. umbrinus adsitus_] or _E. q. +umbrinus_ [= _E. u. umbrinus_]." Benson (1935:449) states, "On Navajo +Mountain these chipmunks [_E. q. hopiensis_] were most in evidence on +rock outcrops surrounded by brush at the lower edge of the yellow pine +zone. One was seen at about 9,500 feet in a south-facing rock outcrop +near the spruce-fir forest, but no chipmunk of any kind was seen in +the forest itself." This suggests that where only _E. q. hopiensis_ +occurs on a mountain this subspecies goes higher than on a mountain +where _E. u. adsitus_ also occurs. This same relationship between +_E. q. quadrivittatus_ and the subspecies of _E. umbrinus_ that occurs +in north-central Colorado was pointed out in the account of _E. q. +quadrivittatus_. + + _Specimens examined._--Total number, 68. + + =Utah=: _Uintah Co._: E side of confluence of Green and + White rivers, 1 mi.

He was not aware +of the striking difference between the bacula of _E. quadrivittatus_ +and _E. umbrinus_, and the constancy of this difference between all +the subspecies of one species and those of the other. + +Although the geographic range of _E. u. umbrinus_ is closer to the +ranges of _E. u. fremonti_ and _E. u. montanus_ than to the geographic +range of _E. u. adsitus_, _E. u. umbrinus_ seems to be more closely +related to _E. u. adsitus_ than to _E. u. fremonti_ or _E. u. +montanus_. This observation may be explained by the presence of +continuous habitat for _E. umbrinus_ between the ranges of _E. u. +umbrinus_ and _E. u. adsitus_, whereas _E. u. fremonti_ and _E. u. +montanus_ are each separated from _E. u. umbrinus_ by areas unsuitable +for occupancy by _E. umbrinus_.

The baculum of _E. quadrivittatus_ differs from that of _E. +umbrinus_ in having a narrow base (see figs. 3, 4). This difference +permits any specimen which has an associated baculum to be readily +identified to species. + +2. The cranial breadth in the subspecies of _E. quadrivittatus_ is +significantly larger than in the subspecies of _E. umbrinus_. + +3. Specimens of _E. umbrinus_ are darker than any specimen of _E. +quadrivittatus_. + +4. Where the geographic ranges of _E. quadrivittatus_ and _E. +umbrinus_ come close to one another (probably they meet at some +places), _E. umbrinus_ occupies a higher position in terms of +life-zones. Wherever either of these two species, but not the other, +occurs on a mountain the species occupies both the higher and lower +life-zones. + + [Illustration: FIGS. 3 and 4.

Dorsal view.] + +The differences between _E. quadrivittatus_ and _E. umbrinus_ are as +great as, or greater than, between many species of chipmunks, such as +between _E. minimus_ and _E. amoenus_, and between _E. quadrivittatus_ +and _E. cinereicollis_. + +Although I know of no ecological differences between _E. umbrinus_ +and _E. ruficaudus_, the morphological differences, as for example, +differences in the structure of the baculum, and differences in color +pattern, lead me to maintain _E. ruficaudus_ and _E. umbrinus_ as +separate species. + +The present distribution of these two species is attributable to the +uplift of the Rocky Mountains in the Pleistocene. That the uplift of +the Rocky Mountains and the erosion which produced the present-day +relief took place in Pleistocene times is supported by the evidence +found by several geologists such as Hunt and Sokoloff (1950:109-123). + +The present geographic distribution of _E. umbrinus_ and _E. +quadrivittatus_ conceivably came about as follows: _E. umbrinus_-like +chipmunks were present, before the uplift of the major chains of +mountains, on isolated, low mountain ranges that were not covered with +glaciers (such as the laccolithic mountains that occur in Utah) in +Pleistocene time, while _E. quadrivittatus_-like chipmunks were +present in the central parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and southern +Wyoming. With the advent of uplift, the habitats in the central +parts of these states were changed from a plains-like habitat to +a habitat that resembled the forest habitats that exist today. +_E. umbrinus_-like chipmunks then invaded this newly formed habitat +and displaced any _E. quadrivittatus_-like chipmunks that were less +well adapted to live there. The Colorado River probably served +as a barrier that kept the _E. umbrinus_-like chipmunks and _E. +quadrivittatus_-like chipmunks separated up to this time.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.

For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
