discussion
Discussion: Formerly included mearnsi; see Lindsay (1981). Hall (1981: 466) suggested that douglasii might be conspecific with hudsonicus, but Lindsay (1982) showed that apparent hybrids were probably due to character convergence. Reviewed by Steele (1999, Mammalian Species No. 630). Arbogast et al. (2001) found that mitochondrial DNA differed only slightly among the three species of Tamiasciurus.
