Nevada records for the long-tailed pocket mouse have a limited set of named hotspots, led by Death Valley National Park with 14. That gap may reflect where people look and report, so it doesn’t prove absence elsewhere.
These sites place the Nevada record pattern firmly in the state’s southern desert country. The protected lands also span springs, canyons, and open basin terrain. The strongest reporting runs from March through June, then drops sharply in July and August before a smaller rise in September and October. Those months show when records were made, not when the mice are most numerous.
The file combines 13 research-grade iNaturalist records and 467 GBIF records; with the overlap between them removed, that’s 476 distinct records, which 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.
