This page documents meaningful changes between 1 January and 31 March 2013.
2 Jan 2013: Inclusion of Arizona in the site was initiated in November 2012. This is a long-term project, and site and taxon accounts should be considered incomplete for Arizona until advised otherwise.

12 Jan 2013: Roughing out of Arizona site accounts have been completed and attention will shift toward taxon accounts. From this point on, changes, additions, and deletions will be recorded on the updates pages.
Taxon account data added for the following Arizona taxa: Catostomus discobolus; Ambystoma mavortium; Spea multiplicata; Scaphiopus couchii; Incilius nebulifer. Also, the maps of taxa that occur only in New Mexico and/or Trans-Pecos Texas are being replaced with the more recent maps showing the entire region.

7-8 Feb 2013: Finished primary updating with the exception of adding a few taxa passed over earlier, mostly birds from Stanton's Cave. After adding these, efforts will be primarily in checking data and adding to taxon accounts where desirable; update data will be given in greater detail to allow more exact following of changes, additions, and deletions.

12 Feb 2013: Desmodus stocki added to Rampart Cave. Bat Cave Mine added to sites with Tadarida sp. added. Paramylodon harlani added to Springerville site and taxon account. Sylvilagus audubonii and Lepus sp. added to Lehner Ranch.

(2005) list a number of occurrences of under S. audubonii, but some of these were noted as "sp."; thus it is uncertain whether they reidentified these or are assuming they represent S. audubonii. I have now listed these cases as Sylvilagus sp. Erethizon dorsata added to Wolcott Peak. Thomomys sp. added to Pit Stop Quarry. Skull, Sandblast, and Skylight cave and associated taxa have major changes (a long-awaited library loan came through).
