Steppe field mouse

Mammals

The steppe field mouse (Apodemus witherbyi) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel, Palestine, Turkey, Jordan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Lebanon, Syria, the Greek island of Rhodes and Ukraine, and possibly in Afghanistan and Iraq. O. Thomas described it in 1902 under the name Mus sylvaticus witherbyi, and it is placed in the subgenus Sylvaemus of the genus Apodemus. Its taxonomy has shifted: Musser and Carleton in 2005 treated the Mount Hermon field mouse and the yellow-breasted field mouse, which are sometimes recognized as distinct species, as conspecific with it. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
