Liomys adspersus sobrevive hasta un ano.
We followed taxonomy according to Wilson and Reeder (2005), with three exceptions: Dermanura as separate from Artibeus (Owen, 1987),
Liomys as part of Heteromys (Hafner et al., 2007), and Spermophilus as part of Otospermophilus (Helgen et al., 2009).
Tambien representa el limite de distribucion de algunas especies; por ejemplo, el raton bolsero de Salvin (
Liomys salvini), nativo del bosque seco y cuyo limite sur de distribucion se encuentra en el noroeste del pais (Reid, 2009).
To address which of these species are likely to play a role as reservoir and/or amplification hosts, we captured rodents from 5 genera (Baiomys,
Liomys, Oligoryzomys, Oryzomys, and Sigmodon) and transported them to the laboratory for experimental infection studies.
This phenomenon was suggested by Pinkham (1977) to explain the limb correlation relationships observed in the quadrupedal Mexican spiny pocket mouse (
Liomys irroratus) a form that closely resembles the ancestral, fossil form of all the Heteromyidae, and its bipedal relative, the kangaroo rat (Dipodomys merriami).

Sigmodon hispidus, Peromyscus leucopus, and
Liomys irroratus were the most abundant rodents in the native woodland and replanted habitats where they together comprised 88% and 90%, respectively, of the individuals captured.

Fleming (1974) observed intraspecific intrasexual encounters with two tropical species of heteromyids,
Liomys salvini and Heteromys desmarestianus.
