Hershkovitz swept it, and other outlying populations of the same species group, under an expanded concept of O. palustris." Who's this Hershkovitz guy? BTW, I really like the use of the verb "sweep" to describe his taxonomic rearrangements; I may borrow it for future usage. 1061:
I think we also discussed the first point (same for Hershkovitz below) in some other FAC or GAN, where I said that I prefer not to include things like "British zoologist" because it's not actually important information. But I am open to be persuaded otherwise.
153: 1058:"Oryzomys peninsulae was first collected in 1896 and O. Thomas described it, in 1897, as a full species of Oryzomys." Tell me who is O. Thomas (British zoologist). Who first collected it? What's a "full species"? 1560: 1555: 1049:
that second lead sentence is pretty short. I'd recommend replacing the 1st "it" with the species name. "It is distinctive in fur color and in the shape of its skull." So what's the fur color? The skull shape?

I'm just thinking about the regular encylopedia reader who hasn't read the literature. Adding a couple of words might make for a slightly easier/enjoyable reading experience for them.
325: 1179:
I am weary to use "misidentified" because the changing taxonomy reflects changing species concepts as much as actual misidentification, but reworded part of the sentence anyway.

See above (he was an American zoologist, by the way). "Swept" is clearly an appropriate word for Hershkovitz's actions: he also once synonymized virtually all of what is now

Hi Ucucha, I'm laying claim to this GAR, but will probably not leave any comments for a couple of days, as I have to clear some other stuff off my wiki-plate first.

I changed the sentence a little, but don't think it's entirely inappropriate: one can speak about a species's biogeographical heritage.
