american pika are anchored by Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and Ruby Mountains. They show where people have reported it, not how many animals live there.
These sites tie the Nevada record pattern to the state’s long mountain spine. Records from separate ranges matter because Nevada’s high country is broken into isolated peaks. 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 59 research-grade iNaturalist records and 266 GBIF records. Those 325 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.
