About This Book

The report documents a systematic survey of mammals on a high-elevation Colorado mesa, recording twenty-two species from collected specimens and five additional species by observation. A museum field party sampled multiple mapped localities and reports species accounts with notes on abundance, age classes, weights, reproductive condition, and morphological measurements. Several montane-adapted mammals are noted as occupying the mesa as an ecological peninsula amid lower drylands, and documented specimens extend the known ranges of some subspecies westward. The account includes distributional maps, specimen-based records, and natural-history observations relevant to montane mammal communities.

About the Author

Anderson, Sydney portrait

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.
