Nevada records for the southern grasshopper mouse have a limited set of named hotspots, led by Gold Butte National Monument. 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 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 7 research-grade iNaturalist records and 567 GBIF records. Those 574 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.
