Species and Natural Community Abstracts

Please note that for a given species, the distribution maps, scientific names, listing status and ranks, and other content may differ between the species abstract and Rare Species Explorer. Distribution maps for abstracts often incorporated multiple data sources, yet maps in Rare Species Explorer only represent information from the natural heritage database. Other discrepancies occur because abstracts summarized the information available at the time of publication, whereas many items in Rare Species Explorer are regularly updated through connections to the database.
