Evolution and Classification of the Pocket Gophers of the Subfamily Geomyinae

Published in the late 20th century, 'Evolution and Classification of the Pocket Gophers of the Subfamily Geomyinae' by Robert J. Russell is a scientific examination of the evolutionary history and classification of pocket gophers. The work delves into anatomical features, fossil records, and modern species, highlighting taxonomic intricacies and evolutionary trends within the Geomyinae subfamily. Russell builds on earlier research, particularly that of C. Hart Merriam, to emphasize the importance of fossil examination in understanding the evolutionary pathways of these rodents.
