Jones’ research interests include the taxonomy, systematic distributions, ecology, and biogeography of recent mammals, particularly in the Chihuahuan Desert. Jones has published over 180 scientific papers including five books. Jones described one mammalian subspecies, Myotis fortidens sonoriensis, and elevated Myotis lucifugus occultus to a species (Findley and Jones 1967). He has directed 14 master’s students and six doctoral students to completion while at Texas Tech University. Jones retired from teaching in 2003, but as Professor Emeritus he remains active in research in the Department of Biological Sciences and the NSRL.
