Caption: Map: This map shows where the new species of brush tailed rodent was discovered in Peru's Manu National Park and Biosphere Reserve. It also shows where scientists have located each of the five other species of the genus Isothrix. The dark areas represent moist broadleaf forests; pale areas represent dry broadleaf forests, and stippled areas represent grasslands, savannas and shrublands.
