The greater Wilfred's mouse (Wilfredomys oenax) is a rodent species from South America. It is found in southern Brazil and Uruguay in subtropical lowland forest. [1] It is arboreal to some degree. [1] It is the only species in the genus Wilfredomys.
The species is found in subtropical lowland woodland with dense vegetation. It is also spotted in trees, suggesting that it might be arboreal. [2]
The greater Wilfred's mouse faces threats of habitat loss from farming, wood and pulp plantations, and cattle ranching, along with logging and wood harvesting. These actions are causing widespread ecological stress and habitat degradation along the species' range. [2]
The species has an extremely fragmented population.
The lesser Wilfred's mouse is a species of South American rodents of the family Cricetidae. It was first described by Wilfred H. Osgood under the name Thomasomys pictipes, then into the genus Wilfredomys, and now known as Juliomys pictipes. The lesser Wilfred's mouse is endemic to northeastern Argentina and southeastern Brazil. Its physical appearance ranges from dark brown to light orange coloration and the typical size is small to medium. This species is arboreal, spending most of its time trees and living in the local forests at altitudes from sea level to 2000 m. Currently, this species is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, but, threats include livestock farming, ranching, and wood harvesting.
