Because the subspecies H. i. bulleri and H. i. jaliscensis occur nearby, our objective was to properly determine the taxonomic identity of the novel sample. Also, we evaluate its distinctiveness, both in terms of genetic divergence and phylogenetic placement, relative to other members of H. irroratus. Preliminary, we compared external and cranial measurements of recently collected individuals to those reported for representatives of the subspecies of H. irroratus occurring close by. In addition, we examined levels of genetic differentiation and phylogenetic relationships, based on sequence data of the Cytochrome b, among this population and other members of H. irroratus, including an individual from Sierra de Juanacatlán, Jalisco, the type locality of H. i. bulleri. Phylogenetic relationships were estimated using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference methods and levels of genetic divergence were assessed employing Kimura-2-parameters genetic distances. Samples from Sierra de Manantlán and Sierra de Juanacatlán were grouped together in a well-supported haplogroup and genetic distances between them were lower than &lt; 1.02 %. Our phylogenetic hypothesis shows that H. i. bulleri represents the sister group to all other samples of H. irroratus but that, genetically, is a very divergent lineage. Distances values between H. i. bulleri to any of the other groups were &gt; 10.05 %. Comparison of external and cranial measurements showed that, in average, individuals from Sierra de Manantlán are larger than those of H. i. jaliscensis, but more similar in size to H. i. bulleri. Our results show that the new population of the Mexican spiny pocket mouse from Sierra de Manantlán belongs to H. i. bulleri. In addition, the phylogenetic separation and the high levels of genetic divergence of H. i. bulleri, relative to other members of H. irroratus, suggest that the first should be recognized as a species-level taxon. Considering the scarce collecting records of H. i. bulleri and the known area of occurrence, that is very restricted, this taxon may warrant special conservation status.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen: Colectas realizadas recientemente en la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra de Manantlán, Jalisco (México), permitieron descubrir la existencia de una nueva población del ratón espinoso de abazones mexicano, Heteromys irroratus. Debido a que las subespecies H. i. bulleri y H. i. jaliscensis ocurren en áreas cercanas, nuestro objetivo fue determinar de forma apropiada la identidad taxonómica de la nueva muestra. Adicionalmente, evaluamos su posible distinción, en términos de su divergencia genética y posición filogenética, en relación con otros miembros de H. irroratus. Inicialmente comparamos medidas externas y craneales de los individuos colectados recientemente con las reportadas para representantes de las subespecies de H. irroratus que ocurren en zonas cercanas. Adicionalmente, examinamos niveles de diferenciación genética y las relaciones filogenéticas, basadas en secuencias del gen Citocromo b, entre esta población y representantes de otros miembros de H. irroratus, incluyendo un individuo de Sierra de Juanacatlán, Jalisco, la localidad tipo de H. i. bulleri. Las relaciones filogenéticas fueron estimadas con métodos de Máxima Verosimilitud e Inferencia Bayesiana y los niveles de divergencia genética fueron evaluados con distancias genéticas corregidas con el modelo de 2 parámetros de Kimura. Las muestras de Sierra de Manantlán y Sierra de Juanacatlán fueron agrupadas en un haplogrupo bien soportado y las distancias genéticas entre ellas fueron menores a &lt; 1.02 %. Nuestra hipótesis filogenética indica que H. i. bulleri representa el grupo hermano de todas las otras muestras de H. irroratus, pero que, genéticamente, es un linaje muy divergente. Los valores de distancia entre H. i. bulleri y cualquiera de los otros grupos fueron &gt; 10.05 %. La comparación de medidas externas y craneales mostró que, en promedio, los individuos de Sierra de Manantlán son más grandes que los de H. i. jaliscensis y más similares en tamaño a los de H. i. bulleri. Nuestros resultados muestran que la nueva población del ratón espinoso de abazones mexicano de Sierra de Manantlán pertenece a H. i. bulleri. Adicionalmente, la separación filogenética y los altos niveles de divergencia genética de H. i. bulleri, en relación con otros miembros de H. irroratus, sugieren que el primero debe ser reconocido como un taxón con la categoría de especie. Considerando los escasos registros de colecta reportados para H. i. bulleri y el área de distribución conocida, que es muy restringida, este grupo podría ser candidato a tener un estatus especial de conservación.]]></p></abstract>
