Nelson's woodrat (Neotoma nelsoni) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is endemic to Mexico, where it is known only from the eastern slopes of the volcanoes Orizaba and Cofre de Perote.[1] Due to the small geographic range, isolation, and low population, the Nelson's woodrat has a higher risk for extinction.[2] The distribution and population sizes are small. The population exists in geographic isolation, which prevents gene flow[2]
