- Researchers used statistical analyses of cranial measurements and other genetic tests to distinguish this new species from its wider-ranging relatives.
- The new rat species has a distinct karyotype, unique alleles at multiple loci, and a significant genetic distance from related species, highlighting the importance of conservation for its limited habitat.
