Museums hold 820 specimens collected within 10 miles of Rittenours between 1923 and 1975: 744 Animalia, 50 Fungi, 21 Plantae, 5 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. C. Lincoln, A. Cronquist, A. Spreitzer 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.
