Abstract
AbstractNelsonia goldmani Merriam, 1903 is a cricetid rodent commonly called Goldman’s diminutive woodrat. It is a woodrat of medium size with grayish dorsal pelage; the characteristic long tail is covered with long hairs and ends with a black tip. Nelsonia goldmani is one of two species in the genus Nelsonia. It is endemic to the central-west highlands of Mexico, recorded in a few localities of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt at elevations from 2,000 to 3,100 m. It inhabits areas near rocky ravines, cliffs, and hillsides with coniferous, pine–oak, and cloud forests. Nelsonia goldmani is listed as “Endangered” (EN) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources due to its fragmented distribution and the decrease in the quality and extent of its habitat.
