Sorex yukonicus

From WhiskerWiki

Directly from Woodman (2018): 'The taxon Sorex yukonicus Dokuchaev, 1997 was described for the North American representatives of S. minutissimus, but Hope et al. (2010) determined that S. yukonicus and Siberian S. minutissimus are conspecific. Despite this, North American S. minutissimus appears to represent a weakly differentiated clade (Hope et al., 2010), which is why I recognize it herein as a subspecies." Redirect to Sorex minutissimus.
