Fremont's chipmunk (Neotamias umbrinus fremonti), or Fremont's Uinta chipmunk, is a subspecies of the Uinta chipmunk that is endemic to parts of Wyoming. [1] [2]
Chipmunks are small, striped rodents of the family Sciuridae. Chipmunks are found in North America, with the exception of the Siberian chipmunk which is found primarily in Asia.
The least chipmunk is the smallest species of chipmunk and the most widespread in North America.
The Colorado chipmunk is a species of chipmunk in the squirrel family Sciuridae. It is endemic to Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico in the United States.
Allen's chipmunk is a species of chipmunk. It is also known as the shadow chipmunk. It is native to the western United States, where it occurs in California, Nevada, and Oregon. It is a common species of the Sierra Nevada. Neotamias senex's length measures about 229-261 mm. Female chipmunks are larger than males, with a dimorphism ratio of 1.033. Females weigh around 73.0 grams to 108.5 grams, while males weigh 66.8 grams to 99.3 grams.
The Siskiyou chipmunk is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is endemic to northern California and central Oregon in the United States.
Townsend's chipmunk is a species of rodent in the squirrel family, Sciuridae. It lives in the forests of the Pacific Northwest of North America, from extreme southwestern British Columbia through western Washington and western Oregon. Townsend's chipmunk is named after John Kirk Townsend, an early 19th-century ornithologist.
The Uinta chipmunk or hidden forest chipmunk, is a species of chipmunk in the family Sciuridae. It is endemic to the United States. Formerly known as Tamias umbrinus, phylogenetic studies have shown it to be sufficiently distinct from the eastern chipmunk as to be placed in a separate genus, Neotamias. The same studies have also suggested that Palmer's chipmunk may actually be a subspecies of Uinta chipmunk, although the two are still generally regarded as separate species.
A robovirus is a zoonotic virus that is transmitted by a rodent vector.
Neotamias is a genus of chipmunks within the tribe Marmotini of the squirrel family. It contains 23 species, which mostly occur in western North America. Along with Eutamias, this genus is often considered a subgenus of Tamias.
The Inyo chipmunk, or the Inyo Uinta chipmunk, is a subspecies of the Uinta chipmunk that is native to parts of central Nevada and eastern California, going into far north Arizona. It was described by Clinton Hart Merriam in 1897.
The Mount Ellen chipmunk, or the Mount Ellen Uinta chipmunk, also spelt as the Mt. Ellen chipmunk, is a rare subspecies of the Uinta chipmunk that is endemic to Mt. Ellen, Henry Mountains, Garfield County, Utah. Not many threats perist for the subspecies, so the current conservation status refers to it limitedness in the region. It is listed as "Critically Imperiled" by NatureServe because of its limited natural range.
The mountaineer chipmunk, also known as the mountaineer Uinta chipmunk, southern Rocky Mountains chipmunk, or the southern Rocky Mountains Uinta chipmunk, is a subspecies of the Uinta chipmunk that is native to parts of Colorado, southwestern Wyoming, and far northeastern Utah. It may overlap with the nominate subspecies, Neotamias umbrinus umbrinus in northeastern Utah.
