Nevada records for the long eared chipmunk are anchored by Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge and Black Rock Desert. 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 monthly pattern is fairly spread out rather than confined to one Nevada season. It tracks observer records and shouldn’t be read as a population count.
The file combines 14 research-grade iNaturalist records and 20 GBIF records. Those 34 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.
