About This Book

A short scientific note presents newly documented locality records that extend the known geographic ranges of several Mexican bat species. For each taxon the author supplies collection localities, specimen catalog numbers, collectors, elevations, and the measured distances and directions by which the records expand previously published limits. Many entries report tropical species found farther north or east along Mexico's Gulf and Pacific coasts, and several first records for particular states are recorded. The paper concludes that intensified field collecting, especially the use of mist nets in northern portions of tropical vegetation zones, will likely reveal further range extensions.

About the Author

Sydney Anderson

Sydney Anderson was a notable biologist and researcher specializing in mammalogy, particularly in the study of bats and rodents. His work contributed significantly to the understanding of various species within these groups, with a focus on their subspeciation and ecological ranges. Among his key publications are "Extensions of Known Ranges of Mexican Bats" and "Mammals of Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado," which reflect his dedication to documenting and analyzing mammalian diversity in North America. Anderson's research has been influential in the fields of wildlife biology and conservation, providing valuable insights into the habitats and behaviors of lesser-known species.
