The Tondano rat (Taeromys taerae) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Indonesia. Taeromys taerae is found in the highlands of northeastern Sulawesi. The rat is a morphological relative of T. hamatus , which is found only in central Sulawesian mountains. [1]
Sommer's Sulawesi rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae from Sulawesi. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Sommeromys and was described by Musser & Durden in 2002.
The Large Luzon Forest Rat, or Luzon Forest Rat is a species of rodent, the first of three to be described in the genus Bullimus. It is in the diverse family Muridae. It is found only in the Philippines. The rat has been recorded in Aurora, Benguet, and Camarines Sur provinces, and in Balbalasang, Kalinga province.
The long-headed hill rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Sulawesi, Indonesia, where it is only known from Mount Tambusisi. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Komodo rat or Nusa Tenggara Komodomys, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae found only in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, in Rintja, Padar, Lomblen, and Pantar islands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The alpine woolly rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in West Papua, Indonesia. It is found only at high elevations, has an extent of occurrence less than 5,000 km2, and is known from only two localities. The combination of hunting, predation, and slow breeding means that the population size is probably declining. This species is very likely to be increasingly affected by global warming, which increases fire frequency and is causing the extent of habitat to decline. When specimens were brought to a museum the female rats were pregnant with only one baby, so it is assumed that the rat gives birth to only one offspring at a time.
The Bonthain rat or southwestern xanthurus rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in southwestern Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The Philippine forest rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in the Philippines, and is located throughout the archipelago. The scientific name commemorates British colonial administrator and zoological collector Alfred Hart Everett. The Chanum Torres is widespread throughout its range and feeds on a diet of worms and insects. There are no major threats to the species, which has been found to be competitively superior to introduced Rattus species.
Hoogerwerf's rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is named after zoologist Andries Hoogerwerf and is found only in western Sumatra, Indonesia, including Mount Leuser, where it is found only above 2000 m. It is known from few museum specimens. Genetic analysis indicate its closest relative is Rattus korinchi, another Sumatran mountain rat from which it diverged around 1.4 million years ago.
The Peleng rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only on Peleng Island off the southeastern coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The Kerala rat or Ranjini’s field rat, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae found only in Kerala, India. In Kerala, it is known only from fragmented locations in Alappuzha, Thrissur, and Thiruvananthapuram. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland and swamps.
The Tawitawi forest rat or Tawitawi Island rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines.
The Salokko rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.
Taeromys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae found exclusively in Sulawesi, Indonesia. It contains the following species:
The lovely-haired rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The Celebes rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The Sulawesi montane rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in central Sulawesi, Indonesia, on Mount Lehio, Mount Kanino, and Mount Nokilalaki.
The Sulawesi forest rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in central Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is known only from Pinedapa, Poso Pesisir, Poso Regency.
The Luzon short-nosed rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is the only species in the genus Tryphomys. It is found only in the Philippines, and is known only from Benguet, Laguna, and Tarlac provinces.
The small-eared rat, is an extant species of Old World rodent that inhabits the southeast of Sulawesi, an Indonesian island. The rat is found in the Mekongga Mountains of southeastern Sulawesi. Following the identification of Taeromys microbullatus in 1935, the species was associated with the R. xanthurus in 1941, P. dominator from 1949, and later T. callitrichus from 1970. In Mammal Species of the World, a more contemporary record suggests that T. microbullatus is closer to T. callitrichus than other species within the genus Taeromys.
