The paper presented novel findings of little-known species of rodents the Tonkin limestone rat in Cao Bang Province, Vietnam with its morphological and genetic characterisation. The study summarises data on the distribution of this data-deficient species, available museum collections, genetic samples, information on its taxonomy and ecology, important to establish the proper conservation status of the species. An exhaustive map of the findings is provided. It is shown that, based on the data currently available, the species does not require taxonomic revision and also, apparently, does not need a special conservation measure; its status may be established to date as Near Threatened B1a+2a and the current population trend - Stable, IUCN.
该论文展示了在越南高平省鲜为人知的啮齿动物——东京石鼠的新发现，并对其进行了形态学和遗传学特征描述。该研究总结了关于这种数据缺乏物种的分布、现有博物馆藏品、基因样本、分类学和生态学信息的数据，这些对于确定该物种的适当保护状况很重要。提供了一份详尽的发现地图。结果表明，根据目前可得的数据，该物种不需要进行分类学修订，显然也不需要特殊的保护措施；其目前的状况可确定为近危（B1a+2a），且目前的种群趋势——稳定，（依据）世界自然保护联盟（标准）。
