Museums hold 181 specimens collected within 10 miles of Esselburn between 1888 and 1975: 174 Animalia, 5 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by BJ Zahuranec & party, Bosler, Collector(s): Joel Asaph Allen and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
