Question on catenifer sub-species ranges

Mark_Adams Oct 03, 2003 09:35 PM

I read that P.c.catenifer and P.c.deserticola ranges over lap in southern Washington State. My question is are the gopher population in Yakima county, WA.(link to map attached) more then likely Intergrades? Or are they more likely pure deserticola?
And how far north of a WA. state locale would be safe to call pure deserticola? any thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks

According to the map I have, any integradation between the two would take place in Oregon and northern California. If there is any in Washington, it would be in extreme southern Cowlitz, Clark, or Skamania counties, perhaps.
