| contents | (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Extralimital records have been noted for several mammals in North America at local scales, but it is yet to be determined how the entire geographic distribution has changed for many of these species. Updated distributions are provided for eight species of mammals that are broadly expanding their ranges in North America. Distributional data was collected from museum records and published literature for an initial group of mammals that showed evidence of range expansions. This list was reduced to species that were expanding in three or more states/provinces and where an updated distribution had not been published in the past 20 years. Eight species of mammals were identified using these criteria. Three species show movement in an overall westward direction, two are moving north, one is moving west and north, and one each is moving east and south. Monitoring changes in species distributions is important for identifying novel ecological interactions and predicting potential routes of disease spread. |
