Notes on the distribution of eastern woodrats and hispid cotton rats in south-central Nebraska

The eastern woodrat ( Neotoma floridana ) and hispid cotton rat ( Sigmodon hispidus ) reach distributional limits in southern Nebraska (Jones 1964, Farney 1975). In the last half century, both species have expanded their distributional ranges in the region (Kugler and Geluso 2009, Wright et al. 2010). Herein, we report new localities of occurrence for both species that extend known distributional boundaries in south-central Nebraska beyond those reported by Kugler and Geluso (2009) and Wright et al. (2010).
