Nevada records for the yuma myotis are anchored by Desert National Wildlife Refuge and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. They show where people have reported it, not how many animals live there.
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 3 research-grade iNaturalist records and 160 GBIF records. Those 163 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.
