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 Inyo Mountains are a short mountain range east of the Sierra Nevada in eastern California in the United States. The range separates the Owens Valley to the west from Saline Valley to the east, extending for approximately 70 miles (110 km) south-southeast from the southern end of the White Mountains, from which they are separated by Westgard Pass, to the east of Owens Lake.
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.
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.
The Sonoma chipmunk is a species of rodent in the squirrel family Sciuridae. It is endemic to northwestern California in the United States. Members of Neotamias are characterized by having 2 premolars. N. sonomae has 2 subspecies: N. s. alleni and N. s. sonomae.
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.
Hulsea vestita is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name pumice alpinegold.
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 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, 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.
Fremont's chipmunk, or Fremont's Uinta chipmunk, is a subspecies of the Uinta chipmunk that is native to parts of Wyoming, and southeastern Montana, with some populations present in nearby states.
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.
