Eastern woodrats carry no NatureServe state rank in Nebraska, SNR unranked, and the record leans almost entirely on GBIF specimen data, with only 10 of the state’s 97 records also appearing on iNaturalist, suggesting trapping surveys drive most of what’s documented about this pack-rat species along the state’s eastern river bottoms.
August alone accounts for 25 of the year’s monthly-tallied records, more than a quarter of the total, with the record falling to zero in December, a pattern that likely tracks late-summer survey timing more than any real winter absence, since eastern woodrats don’t hibernate and cache food for lean months instead.
