from some small area in the depths of Brazilian Amazonia. It took people some time to realize that it is a distinct species, so that it was only described in 1998. The article underwent a thorough GA review by Sasata; I'm looking forward to any further suggestions for improvement and other comments.
618:
Is it unique in terms of being geographically very localized; in not overlapping any other member of the species; in having some unusual climate/terrain property, in some other sense not explained? Kind of what I was thinking when I saw that anyway.
583:
Their distribution is unique in the sense that no other muroid has a similar distribution—that's what the word means, I would think. The sources say nothing about gut contents, so I presume the collectors did not study them.
117: 496:
I've previously attempted to illustrate a similarly poorly known rice rat with a fair-use image, but consensus was (unfortunately) that such images are not allowed under the
579:
The ecology description of these creatures is pretty slim. Surely there is some dietary information from the captured specimens? In what sense is their distribution unique?
493:
I'm bothered by the lack of illustrations. At least one photograph of the subject should be included for visual reference, even if it is employed under fair use.
697:
I have been interrupted reading this article a few times in the last day or two! I fixed a couple of redirects. Nothing else jumps out as prominently tweakable.
40: 88: 83: 92: 200:
Should it? Only the distribution of this species is relevant to this article; exactly where each of the other species occurs is less relevant.
75: 500:. Incidentally, there are probably no photographs of live individuals of this species; there are only photographs of study skins and skulls. 30: 17: 609:
I am unable to think of any conceivable other meaning of the sentence, but I reworded it to remove whatever ambiguity I may have missed.
759: 739: 712: 688: 662: 653: 613: 588: 556: 540: 520: 504: 463: 443: 424: 414: 277: 258: 249: 227: 218: 204: 195: 177: 160: 512:
In the lead, how long is "long" when describing the fur? What is "brownish"? Couldn't you say tawny brown with a gray-white underbelly?
594:
The use of the word 'unique' in the article is ambiguous and implies some sort of special status, so some clarification would be good.
183: 133: 138: 755: 708: 516:
I've added hair length in the body; I think it's too much of a detail to include in the lead. I've also specified the color.
173:(If someone wants to check for plagiarism, all the sources I used for this article happen to be accessible for free online.) 79: 209:
If only the distribution of one species is relevant then the distribution of only one species should be given

273: 245: 214: 191: 732: 724: 438: 409: 454:: Sources and citations look fine. No opportunities for spotchecking, but no reasons for concern. 749: 702: 370:
The IUCN currently lists Euryoryzomys emmonsae as "Data Deficient" because it is so poorly known.
455: 528:
In the sentence that begins "The upperparts are tawny brown", is this back to discussing the

I understand this, but do we have any indication at all whether it's common in its range?

All jargon is explained; there is no requirement in FAs for links to be red.
379:
Neither Musser et al. (1998) nor the Red List give any explicit indication.
