Nevada records for the american ermine are anchored by Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge and Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. They show where people have reported it, not how many animals live there.
The Nevada records stretch from southern desert country toward the state’s northern basins. They show a wider in-state footprint than the best-known southern sites alone. The strongest reporting falls in summer, when Nevada’s high country is easiest to reach but low deserts are hottest. That may shape where observers submit records.
The file combines 0 research-grade iNaturalist records and 28 GBIF records. Those 28 records measure documented encounters, not Nevada’s population size. It’s native to Nevada. Nevada doesn’t specifically list it under the state’s conservation framework, and the IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
