Description

The status and distribution of many of Alberta's small mammals is unknown. This report summarizes the information available on 15 of these species, as a step in updating their status for The General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2000. Much of the information in this report was gathered from North American museums. Additional data were collected from reports that contained quantitative data for locations and date, as well as reliable species identification. Much of this information was gathered from studies which analyzed small mammal remains found in owl pellets. In total, over 1000 records were amassed from the various sources. All of these observations have been stored in the Biodiversity/Species Observation Database.
