About This Book

A museum-based survey reports new locality records and range extensions for numerous Utah mammals, based on examination of additional specimens and a few field observations. The authors document expanded southern, northern, and eastern limits for several shrews and bats, newly confirmed occurrences of a marmot and multiple ground squirrels, and added localities that indicate more widespread distributions in suitable habitats. The article provides taxonomic identifications, specimen localities, and notes on identification reliability, and discusses how these additions supplement earlier faunal accounts and improve understanding of state mammal distributions.
