title = "The First Record of the Jumping Mouse Zapus from the Southern High Plains",
abstract = "Macy Locality 100, located on the Southern High Plains in West Texas, has produced a diverse faunal assemblage associated with radiocarbon-dated late Pleistocene alluvial deposits. Cheek teeth representing the jumping mouse Zapus (Rodentia, Zapodidae) provide the first record of jumping mice from the region. They are identified as Zapus hudsonius based on the occlusal pattern. A mesic form, its retreat from the region, is a result of environmental changes at the end of the Pleistocene.",
